    Higher fps doesn't equal more range. A decent hop unit and barrel would be a better investment. Keeping below the 1.1j will mean you don't have to worry about a MED and you still have full auto for those ooh shit moments. Also any half decently run site will insist you also carry a secondary for the closer engagements

    Interesting however I did just buy a glock 18c with a 50 round clip so I don’t have to worry about the fully auto aspect so I cover the secondary part.

    Typically CYMA.  M14 for classic styling, or CM.098 for SR-25.  Of course, many other platforms, brands and budgets are available. I'm running one based on a Specna Arms SA-E02 (i.e. a 5.56mm carbine) with a barrel extension and solid stock, it really comes down to preference, budget, and site rules.

     

    At the end of the day, they'll perform as well as the nozzle, hop unit, rubber and barrel allow. The BB doesn't know or care what the externals look like.

    Ye of course thank you for the suggestions I’m going to do some more research later.

    Fair point.  Personally I'd yeet DMRs right out of the game because they're regularly abused to trigger spam, despise any rules about 2 second delays / 1-in-the-air. But that's between your conscience and your site.

     

    Please be aware that DMRs are (almost always) made, not bought.  Whatever you get, you'll need to - at a bare minimum - replace the spring, and find a way to lock it to semi that will satisfy your site.  They may also have some ideas about what constitutes a DMR, i.e. it has to be based on a 7.62mm / .308" gun rather than 5.56mm.

    To be specific my site says that anything that is locked to semi auto other then pistols and spring rifles count as marksman’s and are limited to 425 fps with a 10 or 20m minimum engagement distance can’t remember which one.

    Sort of unrelated to this thread but are there any bases that you would recommend to build ontop of?

    It’s not all about range & velocity, and if you go down that road you’re trapped in a rabbit hole of tweaking parts to increase x, further tweaking to do so  consistently and then turning it down to try and hit the target you pointed at

     

    Usually the better way to go is to get closer, find alternate routes instead of the big long range stalemate in the middle of the field 

     

    If most of it is long and open then that implies you can flank.  If a game zone is just long and open, without at least sporadic cover then it’s a poorly designed site. If it does have a wide open area plus alternative routes then it’s a better designed site to cater for those who will exploit the design 

     

     

    I agree however I want to change my gamePlay and want to play further and hide in bushes and towers.

    Do the "other rules" include not breaking the law? Because that's what you'll be doing buying an airsoft gun, regardless of whether it's a rif or if. 

     

    It'd be wiser to keep the parents on your side as it'll show a level of maturity and mean they're more likely to be accommodating to your interest in airsoft

     

    Edit: another alternative to cover the bright paint on a 2 tone is a roll of sniper tape. Relatively cheap (should be about a fiver), can be put on and removed on site and will keep everything above board

    Interesting idea with the sniper tape may be a good idea for a marksman's, also they dont mind me buying the airsoft gun its self I don't know why but that's how they are.

    Although legally speaking, as you're under 18 it's an offence for you to buy it, and for him to sell it. There's no defence for that - you need the gifting-from-parent wheeze to get around it.

     

    It's really not that hard to buy RIFs, especially 2nd hand: just don't volunteer information unless you're asked.  However, I'd sound a note of caution: a realistic gas-blowback pistol is a lot easier and more tempting to mis-use than a two-tone rifle.

     

    Being completely honest with yourself, are you sure, are you absolutely certain, that you're not going to be tempted to take a pistol round to your mate's house to show it off, just once?  I'd check if your parents are OK with it first.

    I'm not like that and my parents have a deep hate for guns and it took alot of convincing them to let me start airsoft in the first place, if I ever did that and was caught by them not even the police I would be kicked out. Due to my dads place of work it would look TERRIBLE for me to get a charge for a situation like that. I also have to keep my airsoft guns and bow n' arrows in a locked case in the utility room removing the option for me to do that even if I wanted too. 

    However my parents don't mind what I spend my money on along as it falls under the other rules as they see it as my money that I earned not there's so they "don't have control" over what financial decisions I make

  7. I also reached out to someone about purchasing his glock (RIF) from a second hand website, I asked him if it was ok to purchase and gave him a description of my history and why I don't have a ukara in the first place and offered to send him photos. It was already sold by the point he responded but he said he would have been fine with that. Is this common or was it a very lucky chance?

    UKARA is proof that the holder is an airsofter. If the venue you go would give him a membership for turning up 3 times in not less than 2 months, and they are on the UKARA scheme, then your dad would get that proof and could buy a RIF that he could gift to you.

    Thank you, I'm going to try convince him to get one as a Christmas present for me.

    So your parents aren't involved?

    The easiest would be for a parent to play three games to get UKARA registered.

    Yes, anyone with UKARA can gift you a RIF.

     

     

    My Dad is decently old being 53 not sure he wants to play. Could he turn up pay the fee then leave the game after 10 minutes and go home? Or does he have to be there for the full day?

  10. To put it simple how would a 16 year old go about getting a RIF? I've seen many people advertise different ways and that's there's down and upsides to it.  Many friends and I often attend the same airsoft site with our two tones guns however we want to expand are arsenal and get higher end guns, one thing me and my friends agree on is that if we want to purchase high end rifles we want something that will last us a long time and wont have tacky blue red or green paint on it.  Would it be possible for a gradian to get a ukara and purchase a RIF to gift to us? Could you contact a friend with a ukara and ask them to get you one as a "gift"?
