  1. Well that's enough Internet for today...

      I do apologise. I have also now allowed myself back on the internet.

  2. Anyone know if a G&P M16A1 lower receiver will fit onto any G&P upper receivers other than the old-style M16 ones?

    1. M_P

      M_P

      I'd expect they should, I think that's what some people do for l119a1s as some had the old style colt markings on their lowers- better get conformation from elsewhere as well though

    2. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      That's what I thought, want confirmation though as I've read somewhere that the older style receivers are thinner, so was thinking it either wouldn't fit or that the upper would wobble on the lower.

  3. Anyone know if/how it's possible to get a G36 stock onto an M4/M16?

      Just a thought but what about dremmelling out a channel for the tube in the Stock and slipping it onto that?

      (May sound dumb but just an idea)

      Airsoft_Mr B

      I think the diameter of the tube would be wider than the stock, but I don't know. You wouldn't be able to fold it either if it was slipped over the buffer tube.

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      I'm not worried about it folding, just want it the look. Needs to be somewhat functional though, don't want it falling off or snapping whenever I shoulder the rifle.

  4. Anyone know of any airsoft 80s or 90s sight, either red-dot or up to 4x zoom, to stick on top of an M4, either carry handle mounted, or mounted onto a rail on a carry handle?

      I had a google about and around 93' an Aimpoint 3000 or Aimpoint comp would have been in use with Delta if thats any good to you. There is an Aimpoint 3000 up on ebay atm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aimpoint-3000-red-dot-gun-sight-/191122721431?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item2c7fcd4a97 Will need a paint job!

    3. AirsoftTed

      AirsoftTed

      an aimpoint 5000 would also do the job!

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Thanks, I had a look around, and I believe the sight in the picture I linked above is an Aimpoint Electronic Mk III, or at least it's very similar. May get that one, although I haven't even got the gun yet, not 100% decided.

  5. Anyone notice anything odd/different about this? http://i.imgur.com/PDum4ar.jpg

      Your m16 has multiplied?

      You haven't got any Russian goodness in there for a start...

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Nope, M16s are as they were when new, apart from the rails added to the G&P one.

      The pistol holster on the sniper stock is what is different, an idea someone gave me. Tried it out today, worked pretty well :P.

      Ed, the L96 and 1 M16 is mine, the other M16 is my mate's. Completed the L96 look quite a while ago.

      Finius, I will probably never get a Russian weapon....

  6. Anyone recommend any horror films, that don't focus on gore, and that aren't the same as every other horror film ever made?

      same as any second hand gun, about 75% of what he paid for it.

    3. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      That's what I thought. He was hoping it'd be worth a bit more, with it being discontinued and in new condition :P.

    4. M_P

      M_P

      They're pretty common, like the vfc scars for example, they wont get any price increase from being discontinued.

  8. As usual, doing last minute work on my L96 before tomorrow's skirmish. The air seal difference between the ASPUK and PDI hop units makes an 80 FPS difference apparently...

  9. Being killed by hayfever, because apparently seeing and breathing are two things I'm not allowed to do. Anyone recommend any good tablets, all the ones I've tried before have been awful.

    1. TacMaster

      TacMaster

      Same problem here dude, the Sainsbury's ones are just terrible. Tried some last year which were quite good but I can't remember the name -_-

      Go to the doctors, I did & i now get ones from the chemist that are 10x the strength of the ones you can buy in shops, they work a treat :D

  10. Bored of cheese toasties and jam toasties. In desperate need of ideas. So, AF-UK, toastie suggestions. Go!

      cheese and apple... I'm not joking.

    3. Liam Porter

      I will try that. I've done banana, custard and honey, which was nice, and I've done banana, apple and honey, which was also nice.

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      I'm going to try literally everything suggested, as long as I like the suggested items, e.g. I won't be trying ham or bacon with anything.

  11. Ehh, seems the M14 I want in the colour I want has now been removed from WGC and Red Wolf. Looks like I'll be getting a different version and then buying separate parts for it to make it the same...

  12. Found a good use for some of my A Level work from last year - a full length paper barrel spacer.

  13. Got a little tip, when confronted with friendly players asking what colour team you're on from 2m away, don't forget your team colour and tell them red, when you're on blue.

      I ended up getting shot in the face by my team mate, even though he recognised me by my voice and knew I was his team and had made a mistake.

      If in doubt, shoot first, ask questions later. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.

      I once had a chat with a dude at a night game because I walked square into the enemy base with so much ease that I couldn't believe everyone around me was an enemy.

       

      I shot one of the objective targets pretending I was testing my gun, melee killed the guy I'd been chatting with as soon as I made him give away which team he was on, then fucked off, proto xD

  14. Great. Remove Teflon tape from M16 = FPS goes up by 5. Now getting 370. Got any ideas on quickly lowering FPS without opening the gearbox?

    1. TacMaster

      TacMaster

      Pierce the air nozzle with a pin? That's what I did with my MP5, brought it down by 30

    2. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      The air nozzle's already got a hole in it (drilled as it's a metal nozzle), which Fire Support did because it came shooting 360, that lowered it to 340, and now it's gone back up again...

    3. adam bussey

      adam bussey

      clean the nozzle's hole with a pin

  15. Hmm... To take the guns with me to Uni on the first day, or wait a few weeks and then go home and get them...?

      ScoobySnacks

      Liam, you really need to check your tenancy agreement carefully. I know when I was at uni, guns and any other weapons, including replicas and imitations, were totally banned from halls of residence and any other uni buildings/sites. In addition, the tenancy agreements for "headed tenancy" properties banned any type of wepaon in the houses. If you take them along, you might well find you have nowhere to keep them! Where abouts are you going to uni?

       

    3. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Yeah, I've checked that Scooby, doesn't mention it in there. I won't take them first day, as won't be airsofting for few weeks anyway, so will talk to whoever at my accommodation and see what they say. If they say no, then I'll just have to go home every few weekends to airsoft :P

    4. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      Just make sure it's stored in an appropriate bag/box and kept out of sight. No one has the right to search your room/open your bags without either due cause or a warrant to do so. So no problem as long as no one knows it's there.

       

      Obviously this it teaching grandma how to suck eggs as you've been at this a long time, but there's no harm in reminding someone of their rights!

  16. How does the FPS of my M16 increase over the period of a year or so, without me changing anything?

    1. Show previous comments  7 more
    2. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      I've taken the barrel/hop out, but it's been gradually getting higher, rather than a sudden increase.

    3. M_P

      M_P

      Maybe its letting out one of those slow squeaky farts

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Maybe, but it needs to be lowered again... I've actually just thought of what might be happening, when they lowered the FPS, they did it on a game day by giving it an air leak, by putting a tiny hole in the nozzle. I have a feeling this may have become blocked with crap from the gearbox over time. Gonna take it apart and see if I can clean it out...

  17. I don't suppose anyone is selling an internally broken/internal-less M16, that is compatible with G&P parts?

  18. I know it's not airsoft related, but it'd really help me out if anyone who's at university and is 18+ could fill in this questionnaire for me! :)http://goo.gl/forms/3j8IKoMgvH

      Thank you :)

      They can put 0 in if it's paid by the government, a few people have done so, but I'll add that as a note under the question to clear up confusion.

      If I leave it optional, people will skip it for the sake of skipping it. I had a draft one with a lot more optional questions, and so many people just skipped them out of laziness.

      Okay, that's fine :), I need to go through all of the answers to that question anyway and convert them to the same format and to GBP :P

  19. I think it's time to replace the M16 with something a little more CQB-friendly... So, G&P M4 Sentry, or G&P SR16 URX Short? Or someone throw other ideas for CQB weapons, that take M4/M16 mags at me please.

    1. Show previous comments  5 more

      M_P

      Of those two I'd go sentry, however I quite like the look of the viper and autobot.

    3. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      I quite like the Viper, but can't see why it's over £100 more expensive than the Sentry.

       

      What weapons other than M4s are good for CQB and use STANAG mags?

    4. Lozart

      Lozart

      SCAR L CQC, FN2000, SA80.. I think Redwolf or AisoftGI did a thing about this on Youtube.

       

  20. Just found out that I can "write" on my laptop screen and it will convert it to text for me! Quite liking this feature!!

  21. Just realised I've had my M16 for almost 2 and a half years and I've never taken it apart further than splitting the receiver to clean the barrel or for transport. Trigger response has recently become noticeably sluggish, may be time to take the gearbox apart soon...

    2. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Yeah G&P, still shoots consistently, has lost no FPS at all, rate of fire is the same on the same battery which I got at same time as the gun. Only thing is the trigger response.

    3. Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies

      Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies

      Probably a build of carbon/arcing on the contacts and old grease getting gummed up.

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Yeah should think so gun's had a lot of use, especially on semi-auto and short bursts. I think it's done pretty well for over 2 years with stock parts still.

  22. Kinda getting the idea that snipers are not worth the time, effort and money you put into them.

    1. Airsoft-Ed
    2. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      At the moment, I actually want to melt it down into a ball of metal and plastic, and then throw that at someone annoying.

      I'm actually considering selling it, along with all the spare parts. Got nearly 2 complete rifles, plus a spare set of internals in total.

      Liam Porter

      I've got the Warrior L96. Out of the box? Not very good really. Fully upgraded? Really good. On the heavy side though, arms ache after a day running around with it. Build quality of it isn't great either, the bipod lug on the front snapped off after a day of using a Harris style bipod.

    3. Finius

      Finius

      Those things TM compatible? Planning to get rid of my SVD for an L96 or VSR asap...

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Nah, they're a clone of the Maruzen Type-96, a lot of available upgrade parts.

  24. LiPo vs LiFe batteries, what's the difference?

      Complicatedly, you'll be needing the most you can utilise for 500fps.
