  1. Decided to take a risk on Ares & order a VZ58...

      My ASG MK43 is a rebranded Ares, had 12,000 bb's roughly so far....never missed a beat and always feeds and as I've said before, nearly matches my TM recoil for range. My vz.58 also shoots well and hops .28 very well

      Well it'll be staying completely stock until it eventually dies, so I'll see how long it lasts.

      will prob be alright, even the dodgiest guns can't have a very high % of guns sold having issues

  2. Is it all youngsters nowadays that need spoon feeding, or just airsofters? >_

      As a complete new guy with no friends that do it I have found it a little daunting but the folks on the forum have been fantastic. Mind you some people surprise me that they survived to adulthood...

      It's not ignorance that annoys me; there's always something you don't know after all.

      It's when people are just so lazy & unwilling to expend the slightest bit of effort or thought and insist on having everything done for them that I get annoyed!

  3. £4.50-8 to post one single hop bucking? Yeeeaaaah no thanks, Airsoft Zone.

  4. Quick question: Does anyone know offhand what size the spade connectors for motors are?

      If it is 2.8mm that's perfect. Can get them for 16p each in that case.

    3. Lozart

      Lozart

      Component shop sell small ones for 16p a throw but they're not gold plated (although that's actually NOT an issue for motor connections BTW). They're 1/8" hence 2.8mm as SD said.

      Cheers guys. :)

  5. Does anybody here have experience with a variety of Sig 552s? I bought one second hand the other week and curious as to what it is. All I know, is it's not TM, and it's been painted so I can't tell by trades or design etc.

      Mystery solved...It's an ICS!

       

      After all the fuss, I noticed an otherwise useless button above the stock that had the ICS logo on. XD

      Thats not a useless button its the catch to seperate upper and lower receiver.

      I've not tried doing that yet, so I've no idea!

      It was never present on the other ones.

  6. Ohhh Facebook sales groups. You *are* good for a laugh sometimes.

  7. Today was the quickest & easiest packing of kit for a game ever! (But only because most of my stuff was all still in the bags from an game that never happened last week). XD

      I'll come on tonight with my mates, is it Infantry only or vehicles?

    3. Hudson

      Hudson

      Infantry only at present.

      Say hi to the GR guys; some of them are airsofters too (But they're not *that* bad, really)

  10. First game at the new Centurion site near York tomorrow. Let's see how it goes.

  11. I got nearly 380fps out of an M90 spring. This was supposed to be a downgrade! >:[

      new box/gin must have bore up cylinder, tbb and all perfect seals etc....

      old box maybe worn seals, cyl volume ratio out etc.... so performed not so good

      But 30 over limit or 50 increase from 1 box to other - jeez is quite a lot

      you sure it was a m90 ?

    3. Hudson

      Hudson

      That's what it says on the box!

      Going to swap it all out into a quick change box so at least I won't need to disassemble it fully in future.

    4. Hudson

      Hudson

      And no, just a standard cylinder!

  12. Had a play around with my mate's Airsoft AA12, pretty impressive but by god, it's a bulky sonovabitch!

      *If* and when I do. It depends if he gets round to getting it back up & running; but there's not much to see.

      It fires I *think* 5 shots at a time out to a 20/25m range.

  13. Having a brain fart kinda week. I'm looking at changing over my AK gearbox to a G36, and need confirmation. Will I need anything different barring the Air nozzle, selector plate & trigger or is that it? It seems like I'm forgetting something glaringly obvious...

      Ahhh yes, of course!

       

      I have a spare, thankfully, but yes...I knew there was something more.

       

      Thanks fella. :)

  14. First woodland game of the year tomorrow! It's been too long!

  15. D'oh. Last minute emergency downgrade time...all for about 5fps! Typical. XD

    1. Spatch

      Spatch

      5fps? Wind the hop on some more

    2. Hudson

      Hudson

      Nah, I may as well do it properly. I spent last Sunday afternoon putting together a new gearbox, so I'll just drop that one in instead.

    3. Hudson

      Hudson

      Well it's down to 315 now, so all's good! :)

  16. Oh WE...You never fail to disappoint.

      A pistol with a nub? I thought they all used hop arms. What pistol is it?

    3. Hudson

      Hudson

      They do, it's just a standard WE 226; I'm just referring to the part of the bucking that actually protrudes, not an actual AEG style 'nub'...it just saves calling it the 'Hop bucking protrusion' each time! XD

    4. Hudson

      Hudson

      Everywhere's either out of stock of soft nubs, or they want £6 or more for delivery; even for a tiny part such as buckings.

  17. Need a belt-mounted pouch for an Ohshiboom that lets you draw/replace it quickly. Suggestions?

      TRMRs and VTGs have these awesome "clips" that you fasten to molle and you just push them into and pull them out of. It's like a C shaped plastic thing that they just snap in and out of.

       

      No idea what they're called though... I know, I'm so helpful. :3

       

      But there might be an OhShiBoom version.

      Perfect, that's exactly what I meant (Y)

  18. It's somewhat amusing that almost *every* gun I see for sale nowadays is advertised as 'Out-shooting/shoots father/out-performs every other gun on site'.

      Military 1st.

      Bought a hydration pack and the threading on the hose failed before I even took it out for it's first use, so I used the review function to state the fault; but surprise surprise, they're not putting it up.

      Annoying, as I've always been satisfied with them.

      Oh. Fair enough then. Just seemed a bit odd not to mention them in the actual status...
