  1. I've played a fair bit of CQB and my local site initially tested only on 0.2's, but saw the error of their ways and now you test on the setup you plan to use. They'll pop a few BBs out of your mag to check the weight, they even have more than one chrono so no-one needs to faff about changing the BB weight settings. This leads to an efficient chrono and eliminates any joule creep issues as the game setup is the one that is measured rather than an inaccurate one set by the sites rules (which is a bit of an own goal tbh). I'm not a fan of HPA because a gunbilical cord isn't my thing, but from what I can make out the issues with HPA stem from either Joule creep due to testing inadequacies (see how my local site started out), or the operator willfully abusing the system and not being caught. In an ideal world everyone would understand joule creep and understand that if a site were testing on 0.2's then they would need to be under the limit if they were planning on using 0.3's. In an ideal world our honour system would enough to stop a post-chrono regulator tweak even being considered. But it's not an ideal world is it. At the end of the day, it's your site, your rules. Stoke's miles away from me and I'll probably never visit; I'm sharing my experiences and some thoughts on chrono and levelling the field. Do what you like, but I find simple rules are easier to understand, follow and police - 1.14j on the ammo you're using is all you need to say. Also, I can't believe no-one's mentioned shotguns in four pages! Are you really doing survival horror properly if you don't have a short-barreled shottie? 😁 All the best with the Seige though 👍
  2. Bought three MWS mags from Japan on Friday. They just arrived, in perfect condition and at less than £38/mag incl. postage. I'm impressed!

      Hi,

      Where did you order them from? I'm after a few mags for my mws.

       

      Cheers,

  3. MK18 arrived last week and I love it already! NPAS fitted over the weekend and she's reliably doing around 335fps on 0.2s at room temperature, which is a shade over 1J and about where I want it to be. Was surprised how easy it was to fit, what took the time was adjusting it to get the power I wanted - was it clockwise or anti-clockwise to reduce the power? most of the time I did the opposite of what I wanted 😂 Ordered mags from Japan on Friday, just had a notification they'll be delivered on Thursday, if that happens I'll be massively impressed!
  4. There’s got to be something said about (legally) shooting someone (while playing Airsoft) as being good for your wellbeing. Lost count of the times I wished I had my pistol in my desk!! 😂 Wish I had enough space somewhere for a range, would be great to have somewhere local to go and plink for a bit. Maybe we need to tack them on to the side of driving ranges?
  5. I take it you're driving there, so if there's boot space then take it all and then decide when you get there. That's what I do anyway.
  6. TM MK18 MWS arrived this week, it’s been on the want list for ages and I ran out of restraint when Fire Support were down to one left 😂 Also got a Magpul CTR stock for it as I prefer it. Extra mags ordered from Japan as they seem to be hen’s teeth right now. Next up … accessories!!
  7. Fire Support have 40 of them. Might hold fire for some TM ones as I’ve got 4 already and if I have different types it might annoy me. Next MWS noob question … the stock tube is milspec right? Gonna get a Magpul CTR for it.
  8. Took delivery of my MK18 today so am looking for accessories and mags. MWS mags seem to a rare thing nowadays, what’s the hive’s thoughts on the 46 round G&P mags? Or should I just be patient and wait for the TM ones. Also (and more generally) anyone used a red dot / flip-to-side magnifier combo? Only used dots so far but thinking of expanding my horizons.
  9. Hello & welcome. Never converted anything but I bet if you started a thread detailing what you're up to it'd be followed with interest.
  10. This is actually a pretty good idea, it'd certainly rule out ambiguity as to whether someone's been hit or not although the new version of cheating the chrono will be installing a military grade laser 🤣. Side benefits are that not using a projectile will also appease a lot of the haters and it'd also mean that all the sellers in Mack's whose pew 'shoots like a laser' will finally be correct. Of course the major barrier is that it's a global sport so you'd either need everyone to swap at the same time or more realistically develop some kind of retro-fit device to turn dry fire into a laser beam.
  11. I wouldn’t say Airsoft is expensive, how much would a day or organised activity normally cost? As for buying your own kit then, every budget is catered for, we’re all guilty of wanting/buying the best we can afford but in reality all you need is a good pair of boots, eyepro and a pew you can pick up for as little as £100. Comparable to a low end bike. People don’t like guns in the UK, so socially Airsoft is off to a bad start and it seems to be a bit like fight club - no-one talks about it. I started playing and suddenly found out a load of the people I work with play too - bit of a result for me but I hadn’t a clue beforehand. Paintball/splatmaster parties for the kids helps get them interested. My two have been and loved it, it’s also an Airsoft site so they naturally see players and see Airsoft as progression from their kid-friendly version.
  12. Am now the latest member of the MWS owners club.

    I really need to stop taking lunch breaks, they're expensive.

      🤣 no different to usual then.

       

      It'll get a sight, different stock and maybe an NPAS but that's it until something (inevitably) breaks.

      Good decision. In terms of internals, the only "upgrades" I would do are an NPAS and something like a sixG nub. They perform really well out of the box!

       

      Welcome to the club though. I have 2 myself (because I needed one for long gun, one for short gun!)

  13. Oooh, I like that! Don't suppose it's got a threaded barrel? Or do you need an aftermarket one to fit a tracer?
  14. Just reading the post makes my head hurt. I think it's a crappy ad for a website trying to sell stuff, by the look of the OPs loadouts they think this is an airgun forum as 70 Joules is a tad spicy for airsoft 😂
