    Shotguns

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    The guns themselves are pretty good to be honest but the only viable scenario i've used them in is CQB sites.

    I used to use one at my CQB site and on 3 shot mode, it never had an issue sailing the BBs across the 35m-ish length of the site. Personally, I had the GE 8878 and the adjustable stock made it very comfortable to use. The shells are fine to use but a lot of people opt for the adapter that allows use of a M4 magazine instead but, IIRC, you had to remove the loading door to make it fit.

    If you're going to use one at a CQB site, getting a tracer is a great idea. 5KU makes a tracer that fits over the end of the barrel and is secured by three grub screws. 

    ASG MP9 / KWA MP9 - Whats Your Experience + Help Needed :)

    Bought my MP9 from @Ronin0033 and apart from the bolt getting stuck to the rear every now and then, it's been an absolute trooper.

    I really only use it in CQB sites so i've never felt the need to get the TNT hop/barrel set but I would really like one at the stock barrel length but they're spendy and tend to be sold out pretty fast.

    If you need mags, i'd suggest looking at retailers in Asia as they can charge as low as £33 per mag vs £50/£55 in the UK but the challenge is finding them in stock.

    Can't imagine you'll see a clone otherwise someone would have cloned the Ares version already?

    Personally, i've had nothing but problems with my G&G L85A2. Accuracy feels like pure RNG regardless of hop rubber, inner barrel or hop unit unit I use. Cannot figure the issue out.

    It was shooting hot for me but I'd only ever chrono'd it so assumed it was a tight spring due to zero use. Hope you're happy with it, looks great with the changes, did you empty the Pmag for the battery or reroute the wiring?

    Think I'd only ever fitted an RDS to the top rail so can't comment on the rest.


    Yeah was shooting at 400fps when I first tested it.

    The mag was just a spare high cap I had laying around so I pulled the internals out and superglued the pin back in to give some rigidity to the top of the mag. Wiring is still into the mag as it's just the better place for it tbh. If I wanted to make the profile smaller, I could get a short mag and put a peq box size battery in there.

    Is this the AR57 I sold you?


    It is. I had to drop the spring down to a M110 to get it inside the limits. No idea what it came stock with. The hop unit is a bit strange, it's like a M4 and P90 hop put together and the inner barrel has a fair bit of movement even when assembled so I pushed an O-ring into the space between the hop unit and the inner barrel to hold it a bit more secure. I had to glue the nub to the hop arm as it kept getting stuck in place when winding the hop off. Gearbox looks to be a standard V2 but without a quick change spring and all the internals appear pretty much standard except the nozzle which is a long brass thing. Really should have measured it. Not sure what's going on with the rails on this - I had to really force the angled grip on and my KAC style rail covers just will not fit at all - it's like the rails are ever so slightly wider than all my other RIFs.

    The mock charging handle is a bit loose because the spring is about 3-5mm too short so it has some play. I have no idea how to take that apart so it's staying as is for now.

    It's probably worth avoiding anyway, unless endless HPA and Drum mags in a small, dense arena is your thing.

     

    Is that your experience of the site? I've been going well over a year now (I think) and it's nowhere near like what you're making out. There are always one or two special people like that who turn up at every site but the overwhelming majority of players are great and the marshalls make a great effort to correct problematic people but it's very rare there are any. The only time i've had a negative experience there was when a certain team of 4-6 people showed up and decided they were allowed to play by different rules than everyone else.

    One of my local sites is selling off their 3 year old, used and abused hire guns: The ever-present nuprol delta pioneers.

     

    As in; the things you can buy new for £120 or so. ?


    I've seen someone buy one at the site. It was a relatively new guy who had no idea about what's good and what's not so he was talking to regulars. Myself and a few others had been chatting with him and letting him handle the different rifles we had so he could see what he did and didn't like. I'm sure we told him to not buy one of those just because it was immediately available and it had likely been battered but he did anyway ?‍♂️

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by MrTea

    Not so much about how my airsoft day went, but how preparing for Sunday went. I was picking out a rifle to use with my launcher for the 3D printed projectiles and thought 'hmm, it's been a while since i've used this, I should probably check and re-lube it if needed'. I took the gearbox out to find a few cracks around the piston head. The second I touched it, it came apart.

    I had a spare G&G V2 gearbox shell but that doesn't fit in the Specna Arms receiver. RIP Specna Arms gearbox - 2 years in my hands and god knows how many in the last owners. ZCI replacement on the way from AK2M4.

    The work/repair list now consists of:

    • Mk18 - new gearbox shell required
    • KWA KM4A1 - Got it from action hobbies but they failed to mention the gearbox shell was also shagged in this. Will probably use as a donor shell because of Colt trademarks.
    • Ares RDB - piston shredded or sector gear knackered I think
    • AR57 - requires Perun ETU installing after dud one bought from user on here
    • MP5SD6 - needs backdraft HPA unit fitting
    • HPA M4 - firing semi only despite having full auto functionality - was planning on using this tomorrow but now it's giving me issues :(
    • P90 long barrel - requires ETU installing
       

    I've got a lot to be getting on with.

     

    Update: As for the actual airsoft day - it went pretty well. I took the L85 to see if i'd solved the issue of the RNG accuracy and I hadn't so I brought out the sniper and that went very well. Using a new optic I can now see where the BBs are landing which made sniping way easier today - when I could see through the summer foliage that is. Armageddon is a very heavily vegetated site which hampers sniping a lot so you have to pick your position well. 

    I got a fair few kills both attacking and defending and one i'm particuarly proud of was when attacking, I managed to shoot through a gap about 3" wide between some tyres to hit a guy hiding in a makeshift bunker. When defending myself and another sniper with a ghillie held down our complete right flank and some of the middle ground 'killing' 10-15 players between us.

    I like sniping but I HATE the rubber(?) coating on the JG Bar-10 rifle stock. I've cleaned this thing several times and it always ends up sticky and bits start to come off. Will be looking for an aftermarket stock thats just as light or lighter. I like the look of the Maple Leaf MLC stocks, particuarly the S2 but no idea how they compare. Will have to have a look around.

    Need help with ARP9

    It's a long shot but can you find the original advert where you bought it from second hand? It would give people a bit of a better idea of what's actually inside the gun as it appears it's not stock - if they listed all the parts that is. The info would probably help any tech you end up sending it to.

    Failing that, try getting in touch with the previous owner if at all possible and ask them what parts they changed.
