They aren’t the greatest but will give you an idea.

Just in case anyone was thinking of getting the ASG STI combatvmaster I can happily confirm that the WE 5.1 Hi Capa mags do indeed fit and work really well.

Had a cracking day at Ambush Airsoft in Cobham. This is fast becoming my go to local site with plenty of fast paced gameplay and minimal time spent back in the safe zone. Its a mid sized woodland site with 5 main game zones (village, bridge, bus, fort and church) and the beginnings of a decent trench system currently in the works. Gameplay is mostly outdoors with some small scale CQB in the village with the church and fort being good sized two storey structures. Plenty of pyro and smoke at the site based shop and trust me it is well used 😁 Seem to be a good mix of regulars, experienced walk ons and rentals and one of the friendliest sites I’ve played at with very little in the way of cheaters, non hot takers or other nonsense that can ruin a day. All in all I shot some people, got shot a lot more, got grenaded several times and ran around in bright coloured smoke like a loon! No one took themselves too seriously but both teams were definitely trying for the win throughout the day and I can’t ask for more than that for a fun Sunday skirmish!

Wasn’t really sure where to put this so mods please move if in the wrong place. Been playing around with an old GoPro for my last few games and started editing the footage together. Here’s a couple from my game yesterday at Ambush in Surrey, any thoughts, criticism, things I could improve? It’s an old GoPro 4 with no stabilisation so quality wise that’s about as good as it gets so I’m thinking more suggestions for editing. TIA, Col

Hi All, im looking at picking up an ASG STI Combat Master (not the licences TTI one) and it comes with a single C02 mag. im trying to find out what green gs mags are compatible and if my WE 5.1’s will fit. Anyone know of these work with it? https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-sti-combat-master?fv=14649 cheers, Hamster

Not sure if these will help and the barrel is a 460mm prommy 6.03 just about to the maple leaf 60 and omega nub.

Just thought I’d throw in an update and say thanks for all the feedback. After much measuring with tape on the floor and moving around my gear I ended up going for the XL! I’m so glad I did as seeing everything in it there is no way I would have got this lot in a large! 😆

You can lost me at volumetric calculations! 😆 that whole side of things is indeed a dark art to me but I will definitely give some .3’s a try

Cheers for the reply, barrel is clean and shining. It’s a Prometheus 6.03 and no visible defects or issues. 10-20 rapid shots through chrono vary from 344-351 fps - not entirely sure if 7 fps is a range to be concerned about? Hop rubber seems fine and again no visible defects, it fits snugly and though it does need some gentle persuasion nothing needs forcing and can’t see any deformation whilst manipulating. that’s about the extent of my tech knowledge but am going to try a maple leaf nub to see if that helps. By all accounts it should be consistent and accurate as anything and I’ve got a feeling I’m missing something but for the life of me I can’t work it out.

I saw this but £22 for a plastic riser with no real detail on how it fits/is secured kind of put me off Your not wrong, there’s a fair bit of movement in the mount as it’s a cheapy clone and depends on how I’m holding it or if it’s resting on something like the rif bag in the photo. it’s not actually a bad magnifier despite that and I reckon if I could raise the holo even a few mm it would make a difference, just struggling to find a way.

That may have been my mistake explaining, I’m zeroed at 50 feet (about 15m) as that’s the best I can manage in the garden. with my play style I tend to engage at 30-50m’ish until up close (happy to let the younger bloods rush 😃 ) I suspect at that range I’m wanting more than is realistic but 12” groups at 15 meters feels wider than it should be in calm windless conditions - I’d be happy with that at 50m though! 😁 Hop is set to be as flat as possible but as I only play once a month or so testing and tweaking at longer ranges is few and far between

Cool I will see if I can get hold of a 60 degree and an Omega, already have a Prommy barrel and been gradually upgrading bits to get up as close to legal limit as I can, currently hovering around 345 but accuracy isn’t quite there yet.

Hi all, yet another cry for help! 😄 I’ve just got an holo/magnifier set up and they don’t quite line up. I can still get a sight picture but the reticule is very low, playing about I need to raise the holo about 5-6mm and am struggling to find a way. I’ve seen these which would be great if they weren’t reducers and were 20mm both sides. I’ve searched pretty much the whole t’interweb and can’t find anything less than 10mm and hoping someone here might know what I need to get just that little bit of extra height. cheers, Col

Do you think a 60 degree would be a better option to help with accuracy? also will the stock TR16 hop nub be fine alongside or should I be looking at something else?

Nope it will be for transporting by car. I’ve don’t a little measuring and laying rifs out in the floor today and I think, with a bit of Tetris, I can make both fit with some spaces for mags and BB’s. The main issue I’ve had is figuring out if the long boi TR16 plus optics leaves enough room for an ARP as well

Maple leaf Macaron 75 with the standard TR16 nub. range measured when target was set out at 50ft and no wind on day of testing. with the BB’s I was using the RZR’s for testing (150’ish shots whilst adjusting hop) then swapped to the blasters which had the same issue.

Hi All, im looking to upgrade from my rif bag to a hard case and wondering if anyone can recommend something to suit my needs. I have a G&G TR16 and a G&G ARP 556 plus mags and a Hi Capa. Ideally I’m looking for a deep case with pick and pluck foam that will fit all of the above and maybe a few small extras. Looking online the Nuprol XL seems to be the largest I can find, does anyone have any first hand experience with this case and have any pics of how much you can get in it? https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-extra-large-wheeled-hard-case-cubic-pnp-foam?pv=5456 Cheers!

Hi all, I’ve been having some issues with my G&G TR16. It runs reliably and never have feed issues but have recently picked up a flip up magnifier that is letting me see where my shots are hitting at further distances. At about 50ft with the rif rested (so it’s not me moving the barrel) I’m getting groupings of about a foot! Using RZR’s and ASG Blasters in .25g and getting the issue with both. So far I’ve cleaned the barrel and replaced the hop rubber (air seal is all good), any ideas on what to try next? Also a random question about zero - does changing BB weight affect zero? I’m likely to be running .25’s and .28’s and trying to work out if I will need to re-zero each time I swap? Pic for attention

Pretty much agree with everything already said. some sites are run better than others and even the good ones have bad days. sometimes it’s the marshals not being massively into it and other is when you get a group or groups who just want to d*ck around. both my local sites are generally well run and even with a large bunch of rentals the regulars tend to offer advice and support. that said I have had some days where no one really seemed to be feeling it BUT I was still out running around and pewing people which for me is half the fun.

Whatever the stock G&G ones are. definitely has more than 500 shots before I swapped it out and it’s say u compressed since then. sounds like a little trial and error may be in my future then, any chance you have a link for your spring?

Air seal seems fine and shots are all consistent within a few fps. when I got it I obsessed over checking the fps but not so much after about 6 months so didn’t really see when it began losing power, wasn’t sure if time and use could have weakened the spring.

Hi All, im wondering how common it is for a main spring to lose power over time and need replacement? I recently changed back from an M110 to the stock M100 (which had been run for a year or two before previously) and am getting about 320 on .2’s at chrono. Was getting closer to 340 from it before and wondering if a new m100 out of the box may get me back up? TIA, Col

That was with gloves on!!! To be fair they’re not armoured but I don’t think that would have helped given where o got hit. In fairness to the guy it was a good shot and he sprayed me through a window that I “assumed” my team were covering! 😆

Had a great day yesterday trying out Ambush Airsoft in Cobham for the first time. Had seen a few old reviews that had me in two minds but seems the new management have found their feet. Arrival and check in were quick and chrono checks carried out for all. Despite the heavy rain from around lunchtime there were plenty of games played with scenarios varying from attack/defend, domination, capture the flags and a very enjoyable entrenched snipers vs everybody else that rolled through multiple play areas. Good mix of woodland setting with various well built structures and hard cover (some with multiple levels) dotted around giving plenty of options. Respawns we’re within easy reach and reload visits to the safe zone were frequent but short (enough time to refill mags and have a quick smoke/coffee) keeping play time to a maximum. Marshals we’re on point and kept everything flowing and there was a good mix of regulars, rentals and randoms like me - it was nice to see the regulars helping out and encouraging the rentals to push and get stuck in. Decent shop selection and lunch provided was hot and filling. All in all had a great day and will definitely be going back again. I did get clocked with a burst to the thumb that is definitely going to leave a mark! 😆

Finally finished off my MTP load out! pretty happy with how it turned out, just need to give it a proper test tomorrow.
