Out of interest, what are the pros and cons of the DSR?

Have a look here: https://playairsoft.uk. it has links to site websites, so you can check power limits.

Nurse! Ted is having one of his moments again!

That’s nasty!

Excellent! Many thanks to the fixers.

Yes, they are great for making yourself a target.

Aye, the choice of music was superb.

Yep! A Harlequin, just like my Finnish kit.

An AB++ would be a decent somewhat cheaper alternative.

Some of us still wear flecktarn and DPM.

Perun V3 Hybrid SHS 16:1 gears SHS Delayer chip Maple Leaf Macaron yellow plus red nub (from AK2M4) XT inner barrel XT cylinder head XT POM piston head XT pink 14 tooth piston A decent brushless motor or an SHS high torque if cash is in short supply.

This rather nice Cybergun/CYMA Scar L for a ridiculously low price. It is working nicely, except that the hop unit needs to be replaced; for some reason, I have one in the spares box. However, it will get the full service, including a Perun Hybrid, new gears and a new inner barrel.

I have the Ares L1A1; out of the box, it has a number of issues, most of which I have fixed although some, such as the overall poor design choices and the rather weak gearbox, are just something that you have to live with. Mine gets used regularly and, so far, has run well, which I would hope it did after all the work I have put into it. I have found Ares to be helpful with replacement parts if they have them in stock.

Ah, yes! That is a damned fine reason.

Why would you wire it to the front?

Just play your three games at the same site in no less than 56 days and get a new UKARA registration. There is no stated minimum number of games to maintain registration, so sites seem to take different approaches. I suspect that the original idea was that the “three games in no less than 56 days” rule would apply.

The usual guide for selling secondhand is 60-70% of the retail price, depending on the condition. Magazines: Drum mag: £63.00, so £38-£45 300 round version: About £35, so £21-£25 each Clear 170 round version: About £35, so £21-£25 each Black 60 round version: About £18, so £10-£13 each Short transparent version: About £18, so £10-£13 each Battery extension: £23, so £14-£16 As for the gun, they retail at about £249; as it is non-functional, £100-£120? It really depends on what someone is willing to pay, so be prepared to negotiate. You might do better to split it, selling the mags separately from the gun.

That is very nice! Evening music.

Ooh! A 74K!!!!!!! That would be a nice addition to my NVA collection. The only aspect of these that concerns me is the pistol grip, which they appear to have recreated accurately; if that is the case, it might be that only their slim motors will fit.

Out of interest, how much did you pay for it and how much is he giving you back? If you were local, I would offer to sort it out for you for the cost of any parts used, even though I dislike Gate ETUs. However, given the cost of postage in both directions, that probably isn't viable. As the Butcher has said, don't let this put you off; he has also given you good advice.

I do my own tech work except on pistols, which I just don’t like working on. I get where you are coming from with regard to hi-fi kit. There is so much bullshit used to sell overpriced tat that is claimed to give a massive upgrade; it is very much like airsoft really.

I am interested in why you have that view of KoA; I have only used them once, to do a complete overhaul and repair of my son’s pistol, and had a very positive experience.

It has a Gate Aster ETU in it. It is possible that the sticker on the selector plate has shifted, so the sensors are not able to tell when the selector is in semi or full. It is also possible that there is another problem with the ETU or that it is something else. If you bought it recently, contact the seller and explain that it has been like this since it arrived and you want a refund. If they do not agree and you paid by PayPal Goods and Services, raise a case with PayPal and do not close it until it is resolved. If you paid by bank transfer or PayPal Friends and Family and the seller won't play, you are screwed. In which case, if you are not confident working on it, get it to a tech to sort it out. If he is local meet face to face; if you send it to him there is a slight risk that he may not refund you. If that happens, a baseball bat usually works well.

It would probably need to be opened up to see what the issue is. You can post photos and videos here. Then we can all try to help you.

It probably has an ETU in it; if so, the problems that you are having may be due to that not being set up properly.
