    THIS ADVERT IS 'UNCOMPLETED' - THIS MEANS THE ADVERTISER HASN'T BUMPED THIS LISTING, BUT IT COULD STILL BE WORTH CONTACTING THEM.

    This is a package deal, hence the price. But it should take any non pistol user up to having a great set up. Will only split if the pistol sells first. Included WE Glock 17 MOS. Grip trimmed to mag reloading easier and the grip has been stippled. It's a home done job so don't expect perfection. Raised irons fitted. (80) Sotac clone of the Surefire 300V. The IR is actually IR, not some weird strobe setting. I also have a DG activation button for it, so you can activate the light and shoot etc 1 handed. (45) Vector Optics Frenzy Red rot. Has an IR setting and frankly, it's pretty awesome. I'd be happy to sell at a lower price and not include this. (80) Standard Green gas mag (suitable for MOS version, has a square gas router). (accounted for) CO2 Magazine, leak free (suitable for MOS version).(20) Co2 Magazine, spares and repairs only with rectangular gas router. (0) TMC MC 6354do Safariland clone with Mid rid belt thing and a tmc version of the safariland quick lock system. This has been spray painted Green (I am a krylon pest). (20) TMC 1.75 inch shooters belt, the one with an inner belt and an outer molle belt. Max waist size around 36 inches. Fair to good condition (no tears, but some grass etc in the velcro). (15) Custom Kydex pistol mag holder. I broke the tek lok off it, the pouch part is fine and I just zip tied it last time, but a new tek lock wouldn't hurt. (15) Standard height iron sights and an extra mounting plate for different red dots/no red dot. Also have the included "red dot" which is a fake one with a dot painted on it. Gas router key (from when I had a GHK, but looks like it'll work with these). I have guestimated prices I think each piece would get second hand (not new) and it came to around £275. Price is £225, if you collect I'll include 2 bottles of ultra air and 10 co2 capsules. (collection just north of Cambridge). I have probably fired around 5 mags through this, however I have done lots of "Operator" home clearances, holstered it and practice transitions etc alot. I also don't shy away from difficult routes during games so is dragged through brambles etc, it looks like it's fairly beaten, internally it should be almost like new. I will sell the accessories individually if the pistol has sold. Any questions, please ask.

    It would spin the motor, it just spins the motor the wrong way as you have reversed the polarity (man, this sounds like some back to the future stuff). Assuming there is an anti reversal latch that would prevent the gears from turning. If the motor wasn't properly seated and therefore not engaging with the gears, this would explain why it did turn before it was seated properly (not engaging gears) and didn't turn when it was seated properly (engaging gears).

    Check this first, easy to do and done several times!

    I've been playing for around 11 years now, I've done lots of big weekend events, pretty much every skirmish site within 2 hours of me and it's consistently good. The site is great (like there are buildings, woodland, scrub, trenches etc) but it's the attitude of the people running it that matters really make it consistently good. Gunman own it, but the site managers have a huge impact on it, over the years it's been up and down. It's on a big upward trajectory at the moment.

    Did a filmsim day at Gunman Tuddenham on Saturday. I really enjoy the fun, positive attitude that they have with their players, all about improving the game play in the field. Well delivered brief etc. The games were even in the structure of in game respawning off buddies, but one side was attacking and one side defending (with some great cover), so it became very stagnant, repetitive and energy sapping with 3-4 minutes of walking to get to the hard respawn and then the walk back in etc. It was only around lunch time when the respawn rules were changed to reflect one side was attacking for basically the whole day that the games actually developed the way they were intended and objectives achieved. As always, great hit taking and sportsmanship. I felt like I'd had it handed to me all day, I don't get to play as often as I'd like and feel out of the groove when I do get to play, same kit etc. Maybe its the larger waistline and lack of familiarity of how it all feels. It also cemented the ideas I have been having about my rifs and kit, so will be listing several pieces this week as I can't justify the money invested vs the amount I get to play and the experiences I have with it.

    Sounds like a treat and worth looking forward to!

    I miss Stirling events so much.....but with kids at 5, 2.5 and 3 weeks means it's going to be a long time til I can get back to doing weekenders
  9. Emergencychimps
    He's recently posted that he is going to stop making eye pro and only fulfilling orders he already has, hopefully you're on that list! Sounds like simunition to me, probably banned in the UK and getting something to run them isn't exactly easy (or legal!)
  10. Emergencychimps
    You cant tease a new site opening without giving more info away than that!!! I have seen mixed reviews on the lambda mk48 they released, but there are so few gpmgs available I guess having another option can only be a good thing!
  11. Emergencychimps
    Seems like a whole bunch of negativity recently (and I'm struggling to find events of interest).....so....... What event, Weekender, thing, product, game style etc is coming up that you're excited about? Can't think of anything? What would you like to see? I'm pretty excited for the milsim esque night games at gunman tuddenham to coming back. I've got the excitement bug back for a classic skirmish day and gear wise I'm stripping bs stuff but realistic kit (eg, losing the pistol, spare pistol mags etc on a rural kit).
  12. Emergencychimps
    Both reference a ppq as well, both in Scotland and both called euan....this must be the same thing. He said they came round and he told them he showed them his collection, they say they raided him with a warrant.
  13. Emergencychimps
    I wonder if this was the guy that was on here recently asking for advice on a very similar sounding situation?
  14. Emergencychimps
    Got the magazine issue fixed. Used abbey gas all day and it ran like a champ, it must be the plastic nozzles. Also I found tilting the mags (as per the oli talks airsoft vid) had a huge affect, more than he said it would. My guess is that they have refined the length of the gas tube, but I'm not brave enough to take it apart.
  15. Emergencychimps
    are you sure thats the correct cover for that helmet? Looks like an ops core style cover and mtek flux style helmet. Essentially, I'd suggest lining up the hole in the cover with the night vision shrould and then tucks the bits you can under the helmet retention system.

    Covid put my stag do back by about 18 months, congrats on the wedding! With the right person, marriage is awesome. Other sites you might want to check out: Airsoft Plantation, big site, well run, lots of players, some great set piece areas on site, Airsoft Tower, next door, same people as Airsoft plantation, smaller site, smaller player numbers, (hear good things), Camo Airsoft on canvey island (not been, very close cqb site), AWA Herts (standard woodland skirmish site not far from bishop stortford), Splattoon, mixed paintball site with a very unique shipping container area. Not very big and they get some high number (for the size of the site) Gunman Airsoft Tuddenham, mix of woodland and urban, (I think one of the best and consistently good skirmish sites ever been to and they are getting better and better under current management team). Gunman Airsoft Battle lakes (wasn't a fan of the site pre gunman, havent been since it has been taken it over, might be better now).

    The majority of murders in the us are in the top 6 cities with the strictest gunlaws. There are too many guns in America to magically just remove them, so as has been stated firearm legislation only affects those who follow the law. As for the debate of ar15s Vs tanks and nukes, It's a silly one. The west (including the us) had tanks and nukes for Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.....but it doesn't look like they won. This also assumes that in any civil war scenario all of the us military would be united behind the government. I suspect it wouldn't be that clear cut and even if they were, deploying nukes against your own populace seems extreme.....but I guess it depends on the situation. The us has huge social and economic problems, terrible healthcare and social support. The gap between the haves and the have nots is huge. Mass shootings are awful, I think we can agree that you need to be mentally unhinged to do that and becoming that unhinged doesnt happen in a few days. Other countries intervene sooner with healthcare or social care etc which the us doesn't do well enough. When they don't they go onto do mass stabbings like in France really. While they're unhinged, they go for soft, easy, gun free targets. As such, having examples for it means there needs to be a person on site who is breaking the law AND is willing and AND is competent enough to get involved. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwood_Park_Mall_shooting This is another relatively recent example of a person stopping and intended mass shooter. This also doesn't factor in other crimes that legal firearm ownership prevents or the crimes that aren't even attempted due to the risk of the victim being armed. Should you treat the sick person or take guns away from law abiding citizens? Switzerland has just under half the number of guns per capita, if the social healthcare and welfare systems didn't impact this, then they'd have just under half the mass shooting incidents, they don't. My personal opinion is that the country is messed up, reform is needed and I'd probably address the health care and social welfare available first as guns won't magically disappear.
  18. Emergencychimps
    or it's part of the ongoing cultre war that seems to be happening in the US, left wing liberals vs right wing conservatives. Airsoft is seen as and being promoted as a gateway into firearm ownership in the US, it's also seen as a valuable training tool by some along with range drills and target practice. This is most likely to be one side trying to stem and direct future gun owners into other hobbies, interests, views etc to reduce support so that they can eventually gun reform/legislation can take place. Legislation varies from state to state and some states already have legislation in place regarding having an orange tip on RIFs(not sure if they call them RIFs).

    He's wearing camo by the tree!
  20. Emergencychimps
    Being shot with a bb can sting, it's worse on bare skin (hence full face protection) and my previous recommendation of gloves. While snipers shoot with more power, they have to be at least a certain distance away (known as a med, minimum engagement distance) so you aren't on the receiving end of the "full amount" if that makes sense. I'd be more concerned about him being shot close up close on bare skin than him wearing a plate carrier etc. Put a hoody on and get him (or someone else) to shoot you, then do it in just a t shirt.
  21. Emergencychimps
    Think it was Ollie talks Airsoft but along the lines of in a standard mws they didn't work that well. I have an mws and have never been interested in the 20 round style mags so I can't say I focused too much on why, just lodged in the noggin they weren't great.
  22. Emergencychimps
    My guess would be 850 ish Mws stock seem to get £400-450 ish second hand. Mags seem to go for around £45-50 each (*8) seen mixed reviews on the 20 rounders in an mws, so I'd suggest selling that separately. The extra magpul bits (to me) don't add a huge amount of value as anyone who is prepared to pay for them probably has an idea of what they want and there's a good chance, it's not those pieces (though they're good). TM stuff does seem to retain value more than other brands second hand and mws's and mags in particular, so 50/70% of RRP doesn't work for them. Also, whether you can even get TM mws stuff new is a gamble, TM stocks come in waves, then dry up. Sell in a dry patch and you'll get top money. Personally I'd list it as a bundle and take lower offers if they don't want all the mags, or they don't want the grip/stock etc. Then sell them on separately.
  23. Emergencychimps
    Agree with the statement of avoid them if you can, never heard good experiences of them (though they do sell some super cheap tat, maybe it's people's expectations are too high) 10 is quite young for it(have met some that age that are fine, some that couldn't cope), I'd suggest finding a local skirmish site, some sites do special events for younger players. If he is allowed to do a normal skirmish he'll need some protecting, easy to see how some painful hits could put him off the sport. I'd also suggest renting, if he gives it a go and doesn't like it you won't be so financially invested. If after 3 games he's loving it still (1 hyped up game doesn't count, 99% love their first game) then it'll be "wasted money" but you'll have a better idea of what to get from using the rentals and players love talking about their guns and kit, everything they have bought is the "best" so try to stay objective. As for your age, you're the perfect age for it! I've seen people from 12-75 play. I'm 38 and it's about 11 years I've been playing for.
  24. Emergencychimps
    are you 100% sure, absolutely positive that you haven't got mixed weights of bbs?
  25. Emergencychimps
    As above, what does he like the look of? I'd also suggest thinking about the weight and size of these compared with him. If he's not that strong then smaller and lighter is sensible, if he's a strapping teenager it shouldn't matter. If he's under 18 (assuming he is), he'll need full face protection, not just eye pro, some like the big masks like dye4, others prefer glasses and a mesh facemask. Hiking boots and gloves (check out mechanic) are also recommended. The biggest thing I can recommend is go with him, at least every now and then. It's great father son bonding time, I see it at sites regularly and wish I had it with my dad (as a dad of real young ones, I will take mine when they're older). It's also pathetic seeing how uninvolved dad's are when they just drop their kids off like it's a crèche.
