Oddly, I got it at b&q. Not your normal place to get wrap but I was getting some other housey type bits and saw it. It's for kitchen cabinets...😂 I WAS thinking about using alcohol inks on it (found a young lady on YouTube using them on stainless steel tumblers) as her effect was brilliant. I just thought I'd try the wrap first.

Aw, cheers bud. It's the mc51 version. With a ps90 barrel extension on it. I wanted the full size one so I could put the bipod on it but this came up cheap so I got it. It was on my list of "pews to have that aren't an m4". 😂 It's vinyl wrap. It's a bit light but it seems to look the part. Bit fiddly with compound curves though 🤯 As with all my hobbies, I don't keep much standard, hence the fiddling. @ak2m4 I feel your pain bud. I wish I had all the tools in my workshop to make things like I did in my apprenticeship but alas, one day it'll happen! The box is here at work with me so I'll play when the boss goes home but I think you're right with the AB. cool kids toys actually work....😂😂

The boys gone mad for his. He's got a g&g toptek air recoil type thing. He loves it. I found a cheapy front grip off an mp5k and modded an led torch into the front of it. Just for a laugh 😁

Tbh I never got in with the "in" crowd at school, seemed like too much hassle. In fact, it still does. 😂 Although some of the cooler kids (and one grumpy one) appear to have some super awesome motor towers....👍😁 Um, er, no, noooo, noooooaaarrrghhh.. Oh wait, I have an Alfa Romeo, so I need something in the glove box to keep me awake waiting for the AA .😂😂 Oh wait. ...😂😂

Yeah, it runs on a 9.6v Life. Same battery. I have a bad boy 30k neodymium motor on the shelf ...might not put that in it just yet 😂😂😱💥 To be honest, it was fine before hand, I just put a mosfet in it because it was cheap and I like fiddling with things (stop it....😂)

Yeah, I'm leaning towards removing it for something else. Not sure why I wanted active braking but figured I'd be like the cool kids.😂 I'll see what it looks like after the weekend of stripping it down.

Oh hive mind....I've done it again. Lol 😁 Ok, bought myself a jg g3 cos, you know, why not? Had it for a grand total of a month and I'm Into the gearbox, reshimmed it as it was a bit shite and greased it up. All good. Bought a gate Pico aab and installed it but pretty much straight away got overspin. Which is odd. As I thought active breaking was supposed to do away with it? The COL can't be worn as it's probably had less than 1000 rounds through it. It's got to come apart at the weekend anyway as I've just got a metal rack piston, head and cylinder head for it, a maple leaf n omega blah blah etc. Short stroking? Probably needs a couple of teeth off at its a vented cylinder, I'd imagine. Pic of offender...😂

I try and get out once a month with the boy. Shift work doesn't help matters but we spend a fair amount of time teching our pews and the boy (13) is getting pretty good at it. He loves it when we go, usually end up taking one of his mates too. I try and get right into it but he's usually run off and is busy organizing an attack or whatnot. I can't lose him on the field, I can usually hear him barking orders at fully grown men....😂

Just feel like updating this thread a bit as it's over 3 years ago that you guys went to apocalypse.... Martin has handed the site over to Jon (modern warrior shop guy) and I have to say, if he pulls off his plan to improve the site, the numbers will increase ten fold. And he's building a toilet block!!!! Wooooo!! Still got a fun vibe about the place, too. Although that hill is a killer every time! I can only make the Saturday games usually but have done a few Sundays. Both have their merits. The sundays can be utterly bonkers with 140+ players. From the noob (me) to the nonnoob it's a laugh. The grubs good (new burgers are awesome) and any aggro gets dealt with pretty well. Some of the games are confusing as hell but I think that's just me getting old....lol.

What are you looking for? I fitted a cheap MOSFET to my tm aug a few months ago. Made a difference. 👍

I'm on my third Alfa Romeo. Wife had a 159, I had a 147ts and now I have a giulietta qv. It's very silly. I liken it to being married to a super model. 80% of the time it's awesome. 10 % of the time it's trying to bankrupt you 10% of the time it's trying to kill you... 😁🤪😂

That's gorgeous. I had a Silvia 14a and always wanted a 4 door skyline. Or a stagea ...😁

I think most of them are the same. Just rebuilt an ics mp5 and that got a jg one fitted to it. It needed a little fettling as it was a touch too big for the hole but the rolled pin holding it in fitted. You still got the old one? I've drilled and tapped an m6 thread into one before and just used a cut down shank bolt. A lot stronger than the chineseium metal.

What can you get these days for £20? Bag of 0.32's? Half a five guys burger? Today I landed two boneyard pistols. For a score. One is a valken avp17. (Silver one) Gbb pistol of questionable looks but hey, same as me really. It wouldn't rack. Couldn't get the topslide off. Turns out to be two filthy bb's jammed in the topslide release mechanism. Cleaned, unjammed and now hoping 0.28's happily.😁 0.7j. Second one is a SAI BLU AEP Electric Pistol (MOSFET – by Cyma – CM135UP). Yup. That's a mouthful. Never had an aep. New experience for me. Has a dodgy connection somewhere inside but managed to get a few shots into the Chrono. Probably needs 0.2's as 0.5j is a bit meh. Not a fan of the gold shiney bits either. Strange sensation aep's, aren't they? 😂😂 Anyway. Pics.

Yup, already in that group. 😂😂😂

https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23685737.sussex-police-issue-warning-air-guns-reports-firearms/ Either a slow news day or some muppet waving a rif. We don't need people like this..... (Also had to chuckle at the two tone bit)

I've got an old G&G one that my youngest uses. Its a bit fiddly to strip down and a tad heavy for him (he's 10) but to be honest it just keeps on rocking along. Its been abused---i think im the third owner--- and has had no upgrades (yet ). I dread to think how many bb's have travelled down the barrel! It doesnt creak a lot but the boy managed to lose the hand grip cover pins..

Site: Dogtag airsoft Crawley Attending: me, mate and the boy Ok, one of my mates has been trying to get me to go to Dogtag airsoft in sunny crawley for a while. I finally had a spare weekend and thought i'd give it a shot. Got there early with a maccy D's (meet up point with my mate and feeble excuse for food!) in hand. The Access road and my car didnt get on much as it got sport suspension and its a tad bumpy. Still, we survived. Gates opened at 8:30 on the button. into the carpark and a short walk to the safe zone to unload a ton of kit. One of the joys of taking your kids, they break stuff a lot, so i take a huge tool box and it just seems to get heavier! First impressions were good, lots of covered stalls and plenty of them too. Set up, signed in easily enough, wristband of the "hairy wrist removal" type and chrono'd the pews. Simples. Safety brief was just that. Safe and brief. The marshal stopped a couple of times to get people to actually listen, which was nice. Tea and water was free issue. YAY! caffeine!! Marshalls were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Big group of first timers next to us were asking all sorts of "first timer" questions and were given the info they needed. Daft questions are only the ones you dont ask, right? First game and happy to say, me and the boy were the first 2 to die!!! LOL! Fall back to the next section and await the arrival of the attacking team. Lots of encouragement from the marshalls, lots of skirmishes and firefights. I had no idea the site was as big as it was. The place is HUGE!!! 2nd game was a swap around of the first, learned by my mistakes this time, still got shot in the nuts though. Back to safe zone at the end of the game, reload, needed somewhere to get hot food but apparently thats being sorted out shortly after their usual guy parted company with them. Really good crowd. Good mix of noobs, casuals, nutters and seasoned players. Everyone was friendly. No stitch counters that i could see. I saw very little in the way of blatant cheating. Marshall seemed to be in the thick of it every time i looked which probably helped. The First timers were having an absolute scream and came back to safezone bouncing with excitement (i imagine lots of war stories at work today, wherever they are!). They looked like they had a blast! Good mix of games in the afternoon, some proper up close and personal stuff mixed with long rangey stuff for the bolters. Left knackered and happy. Pros: Great site. Great staff. Great games. Cons: Need a shop on site so i can "win more pews in the raffle " type of thing. Also the Infinity ammo they sell does not agree with any of my pews. Shonky quality but hey, small con really. Conclusion: I'LL BE BACK!!!!

Oh dear God.😱 Some of those are absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍😍😍

Yup. Working a treat. Desoldered the battery cables and motor cables as I was using new stuff. Deans to the mosfet +-, MOSFET to the motor +- and the two wires for the firesignal soldered to the tabs on the screw on bit by the motor screws. Semi and full auto work perfectly. £15 MOSFET happiness. Cheers for the guidance guys, much appreciated.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

If my head reads it right, like you say, the gnu is permanently in semi with an extra set of contacts for auto. So if either of the contacts sees a go signal it will (should 😂) fire. The only difference is the cut off lever on the semi will stop it re-cycling. Mine is a tm (mostly) so looks exactly like that. 👍

Yeah, i looked at those. £116 is worth more than the actual rif to be honest! The cutoff lever (seen at 16:00 as he's undoing it) is what stops the gearbox cycling on semi after one shot. Mine looks exactly like the shot at (11:36) and i'm thinking that the two wires from the hard wired mosfet would connect to the wire terminals that he then unscrews at (11:57) and the mosfet motor output goes straight to the motor. In fact, i think i've just answered my own question in my head by typing that out..... hey, as long as the smoke stays inside the wires, its all good....

Lol. 😂 Ok. So I've been looking at mosfets. I run lipos on everything I own that takes a battery so I'm thinking about going in the mosfet direction. Only my Aug.... It has a switch with two soldered wires. Is my logic right that something like a gate merf will be fine, one wire to each of the mosfet "fire" inputs from said switch and the semi cut off lever will do its thing? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
