Never had an issue with the .25 tracers I bought.

Dan Wesson however you'll need to buy power-down shells as the standard ones, I believe, fire over the 350fps limit. Personally i'd kill for a mk4 webley

LMAO what a wanker. Don't think there's much else to say. Yurp. Still waiting. Almost had an S&T T21 the other week but the seller backed out

As a bit of additional information; the G&G outer barrel isn't threaded either (at least, mine isn't) so no tracer units or aftermarket muzzle devices. I'm deciding between getting the outer barrel threaded by a someone or taking a 1" barrel extention, machining it out enough so it slides over the outer barrel which is how the stock flash hider works, it's then pinned in place. If I knew this before getting my L85, i'd probably get an ICS one. How do you deal with the height-over-bore? I have all my guns set up so that, in CQB, the BBs land where i'm aiming even at the full length of the arena. With my L85 i've found that the optic is so much higher than the barrel that I simply cannot get that to work, even when adjusting my optic to it's lowest position, i'm still aiming off target to actually hit it. I've dug out a small RMR style optic hoping that, because it's much lower, it'll negate this issue but i'll have to test it tomorrow.

A lot of the cheaper headsets do not have noise cancellation/reduction capability and are communication devices only and are powered through the PTT and radio so you need to be careful what you're buying. Almost got done by someone selling a cheap headset as a more expensive noise-cancelling version. You only get one set of ears. Are you willing to risk damage to them for the sake of <£100? I keep an eye on used markets waiting for a "cheap" pair of comtacs to turn up that people miss and I can snipe.

He's a tosser, pure and simple. I think you'd be hard pressed to be permenantly banned from one or two fields without having to reflect on your behaviour, never mind 40+ that will publicly disclose he's banned from their site(s). The real count is probably way higher. He's also attempted put a "bounty" on a Youtuber who made a video about him wanting to know their name, place of work, home address etc. etc. despite that Youtuber having 100x less subscribers than him, with the intention of doxxing that person. That's how fragile his ego is. Additionally, every time anyone levels any valid criticism at the way he acts when playing, or how he plays, airsoft he just labels them as "snow flakes" and "woke gone mad" etc. etc. and his audience of edgy 12 year olds lap it up. This list was compiled in 2022. It's probably longer already. It also includes some of the offenses he's alleged to have committed.

No worries, just shoot me a message. That said, we're looking at trying Armageddon that's opened outside M'Boro in place of NTAC as an outdoor site if you've ever tried it?

I think we started with about approx 16-20 people last night. By 2000 a few guys packed up and left so we were down to 12 which was fine. We had a quick TDM after the break and moved onto best-of-five main street. It was about 2130 everyone was packing up to go. Fridays are usually much busier and less people leave mid-way because most people don't have work the next day.

Sometimes when my shift rota allows. Recently it's been the Wednesday or Friday nights. I've only been to one or two Sunday sessions. I worded it poorly, let me try again. I walk to a doorway and I know there's another player to my right hugging the wall on the outside of the building. He's on my right at a 90 degree angle from me. With the AEG I built, it's so long I cannot have it shouldered and aimed forward and move through the doorway at the same time while aiming at the player, even when putting the stock over my shoulder (or under my arm) to reduce the length. I have to change to a high or low ready which takes the gun off target. With the MP9 I can keep it aimed forward and move through the doorway already aiming where the player is. Basically rifle too long, wont fit through doorway while horizontal. MP9 short, fits fine. It would appear that cannonfodders impressive artistic interpretation has got it covered.

The AEG I built using the Mk18 style handguard uses the 12" handguard because I couldn't get the 10" (or 7") version at the time for love nor money so I had to use a 12". With it, I can't lean through a doorway and aim at a 90 degree angle where with the MP9 I can. Like I said sub-guns are definitely looking like the best way forward for indoors play. It doesn't bother me that much as the AEG is unbelievably good when I use it outdoors so I don't plan on changing it. It's tight but not so much that you'd notice at first, but the doorways feel slightly thinner than they should be but without measuring it, I couldn't say They've rethought that 'no grenades' rule on main street because it just turns into a grind fest of two people constantly tagging each other back in behind cover with no way to clear them out.

Another quality session at District 23. Went to try out my L85A2 to find that my Sotac EXPS3 wouldn't adjust low enough for the BBs to actually land within the reticule. While trying to adjust it, it seems I turned the adjustment screw way past where it should have went and broke something and it's stuck all the way down. I didn't feel any resistance or a stop... it's like it just unscrewed from whatever adjusts the reticule. Didn't want to risk it with my HW S1. That was annoying. The issue with the height over bore being so big is that i'm literally not looking at the target when firing. To make things worse, because G&G are special, they made their version of the L85A2 outer barrel unthreaded so I can't fit a tracer to just walk my BBs onto the target and I have to use the optic. I have a smaller, and slightly lower, RMR styled 20mm RIS red dot that i'll try next time but in the mean time if any L85 owners have any suggestions, i'm all ears. Once I realised the L85 wasn't going to be an option I changed out to my MP9 as I had such fun with it last time and this time was no different. Quality bit of kit, I think i'll be using sub-guns at indoors sites from now on as it's just so much easier to move through the tighter spaces. Trying to move around doorways with my Mk18 with the 12" handguard is a pain. Many grenades were thrown during a game of 'main street' and the enemy team apparently had some cases of brown trousers.

Does anyone have experience with, or know anything about, the BO Dynamics P90? It's King Arms OEM and they upgraded it with a MOSFET but IDK what they used exactly. Can't seem to find much of anything on the internet about this and their own website doesn't have it listed, I assume it's because they're that old. I can only assume it's a simple MOSFET to protect the trigger contacts and let you use 11.1v safely rather than having any special functionality. All i've found about the King Arms P90s is that they're probably the best of the P90s before you get to Krytac and G&G.

I have the Earmor M20-T which are the ear-plug style ones. It has outside mode (more sound amplification), indoor (less sound amplification) and silent (no amplification). They cut out loud sound very well for only being ear plugs. I tested them in my garage with a 9mm blank and they cut out all of the 'loudness' of noise while it's still audible but safe enough for your hearing. Do the Earmor M32 totally cut out all sound when they detect something loud or do they just reduce it? I'm asking as I have an unknown brand headset which totally cuts out all audio when something is too loud rather than just reducing it.

Given that the images have been taken from another site, it's likely just a scam. Impressive that it's not been taken down though.

Oh god. I love the look of the Vector and always fancied the AEG version but now they're releasing a GBB one?

AND half a mag of BBs! Don't forget those! But yes, that's a Vigor L85A2 and "justbbguns" has them in stock for £35 plus he's missing the 'optic' by the looks of it.

I actually kinda like this. Nice MP9 by the way, is that the suppressor with or without the barrel extention?

I believe this is a Zero One G33 Style flip-to-side 3x Magnifier. The magnifier itself is actually pretty clear without any noticeable warping/deformation at the edges but the eye box is really tight. Not all that bothered about it's downsides, I bought it for looks rather than functionality. I'll have to try slapping it on a rifle and seeing how well it works for spotting. Picked it up for £15 which a good deal when they're £75 RRP.

Thanks for the info, i'll have to have a look into the size of that battery. Did you put the battery in the handguard then install it or is it thin enough to slide down the sides of the barrel?

Evike in the US. They also have the ICS adapter blocks. AirsoftZone in Europe. They didn't use to ship to UK due to Brexit but it looks like they are now. eHobby Asia. As previously mentioned, you will need the ICS specific adapter block/piece. Which looks like this. From personal experience, you may have trouble fitting a battery into that handguard. I've had to resort to using a PEQ battery box on top of the handguard.

Isn't that the general air surrounding S&T? I've been looking at their Tavor/Tar-21s but between them being, generally, crap and Ares using proprietary parts I really don't want to deal with one.

Need a valuation if possible. I've had people wanting to buy and/or trade for this but i'm not sure what it's worth in that situation. In total I think I paid around (a rough guesstimate) £750-£800 retail for the RIF, parts, accessories etc. G&G L85A2 ETU. Perun ETU++. Daniel Defence Handguard. B&T Dovetail to RIS optic rail. Bipod/grip. PEQ Battery box with 2 batteries. Sling included. Shooting 340-345fps, chrono results included. Blowback is still functional. Never been skirmished. I have a bunch of upgrade parts i've not installed yet like a new stainless inner barrel, bucking, nub and a whole compression set. Cheers.

It's a 1:1 copy of the stock A&K hop unit but CNC aluminium. IIRC A&K is a Chinese brand. I managed to find a Prommy purple (just in case I fuck up adjusting the ML hop rubber) and the pack of soft/hard flat nubs for £24. Will be a nice backup and if not needed just sit in my spares until next time That's a nice bit of info going forward, cheers.

I'm double posting essentially because this thing has gone from £95 for the RIF to £120... huh.

Hop unit options for MP5s are extremely limited and i've not found a company who make an aftermarket one. When I (or my tech) broke my G&G one, I just replaced it with the same one and it's been fine ever since. If yours ever breaks, email G&G directly and they'll sell you one, they're a nightmare to find in the wild. If you want a quick boost to range/accuracy, you need to look at the bucking and nub. I use a Maple Leaf Macaron 60 degree (yellow) with Omega nub in mine (and most of my AEGs) and it's great. As for barrel, mine came with one of those ultra crappy aluminiuml (i'm not sure what it's made of) inner barrels and the coating on the outside was starting to crack and flake. If yours is a brass one, try giving it a polish like @Leo Greer says or go straight for a stainless steel one. As I linked in a previous reply, the ZCI ones are about £20 and unless you're on a super tight budget, this is a worthwhile change. As for motor, sure, a high torque motor is never a bad idea if you want better trigger response but it won't improve much outside of that IIRC.
