I haven't tried it out yet, but i bought a scabbard to attach to the back of a molle vest to put my MP5SD in. A quick trial tells me it's probably a crap idea and i'll just use a quick-adjust sling for the SD when i go sniping.

I'm terrible for this, i modify everything. I just don't ask for input before i dive into it.. My guns have all either been modified, or are waiting for parts. Even stuff that you can't really modify ends up at the sharp end of the lathe or mill. When i worked at the AA i was always getting in trouble for modifying my equipment. Everything from my van to my battery tester and even my hi-vis..

I am 100% there just to shoot people. (My memory/attention span doesn't last long enough for the game briefing.)

It took them about 3 weeks to send me a letter with notice of seizure and reference number.

😐 I think i fired about 600 on my last game day.

No it's not - i have gas guns and i'm a shit player. 😂

Reasons to own a GBB: All of it Reasons to own an AEG: Mag-dumping tracers

Well now i feel like my whole life's been a lie. ☹️

This one from the embassy seige is a Maglite. Taped up, so presumably a stand-in for a Streamlight.

Yeah i'm gonna add them to my list of people not to buy from.. 😕

I bought a couple GBBRs first, then a couple Marui NGRSs after. You can't beat a GBBR for the realism, the "feel" and recoil, the noise. If you want even more, fit a muzzle flash simulator and in the dark it'll light up the gas cloud coming out the barrel like a muzzle Flash. I've not had mine long enough to comment on the maintenance aspect, but the cost difference is significant. The gas mags are 2-3x the cost of AEG ones, with very limited capacity. (30 for my 553, 20 for my G3.) Then the cost of gas itself. The guns are heavier and the mags are heavier too. I did buy a set of CO2 mags for my 553, which makes it fine in cold weather. And as per a suggestion from @Enid_Puceflange i got an NPAS for it too, as on the standard nozzle it'd put out 0.4s @ over 4J! With that turned down to 1.1J, the extra gas goes into the recoil. (I think.) But despite all of that, they're still great fun and very satisfying. The NGRSs are a great compromise, all the ease of an AEG without the running cost or limited ammo capacity of a GBB. The recoil is obviously limited, but still good. I run both, and switch between them on game days.

Far too sensible.

Maybe something like this, but you may need to change the connector. https://www.vapextech.co.uk/airsoft-11-1v-1300mah-30c-lipo-battery-with-case-lp304-vapextech It's hard to say without knowing all the dimensions.

Don't you come in here with this "need" bullshit. (I've just taken out a mortgage on two horrendously expensive Orpaz holsters.)

Do tell..

And ARs with little skinny magazines look kinda dumb..

No problem. You won't be disappointed, they're beautifully made and the electric recoil is nice. Definitely worth looking at buying from Zero One. I've used them a lot lately, including buying mine from them and they're great. (In fact another gun from them arrived today.) And don't bother with the dedicated battery. Conversion to 7.4v LiPo is really easy and a way better option. What part of London are you in? I'm in NW near Cricklewood Lane/end of M1.

I bought a TM NGRS 416 Delta, which is the same internally, and i love it. I'd definitely recommend it, great out the box, the fit/finish/quality is second to none. Only thing i'd say you want to do out the box is convert the battery connector to take a mini Tamiya/Deans and run a 7.4v LiPo. Swapping the inner barrel and hop rubber will give you an instant boost in accuracy, range and power and isn't too complicated. I'm very new to airsoft and started with GBBs, but now have two NGRS and they're great guns. Took my 416 out on the last game and it was flawless. I bought mine from Zero One, who i can't recommend enough. I've used them a lot recently and they've been great. https://www.zerooneairsoft.com/products/Tokyo-Marui-Recoil-AEG-URG-I-SOPMOD-BLOCK3 Mine:

Do you still have the e-mail for them that you used?

Nah, you should buy it. I want an M14 too actually. 🤔

20 years of reckless spending and i have a better equipped workshop at home than any place i've worked. It's nice to be able to go into the garage and fix or make anything. (Shame i don't own the house. ☹️) Ironically, what tools i have at work fit in the boot of my little Peugeot runaround.
