Good point. 😂

Full-auto. I didn't buy 3 select-fire rifles and a pair or Glock 18Cs to fire one shot at a time. 😂 Seriously though, as a total newbie to it all, simpler games; locate/capute/defend games. Whether that's capturing a structure/area or capturing a person, even a person/hostage extraction would be good. Or retreiving an item (possibly a two-man carry so once it's captured the team need to defend it and the two carrying it.) It'd also be good if once a player's hit they just drop down, don't shout "hit" and alert everyone else, allows a bit of stealth for the attacking players. Then back to respawn after a few minutes. Also, night games. Did one last week and loved it. The paradox of needing to use a light, but not wanting to give away position made it more fun, the sneaking around and being stealthy. Using muzzle flashers and tracers is great fun too!

I agree, they look so odd. This especially looks really weird.

Would any of you kind folks happen to have a VFC MP5 retractable stock you're willing to sell?

Some thread taps. Can make my own muzzle devices now.

I will book with them too, looks like a huge site.

I'm good at buying stuff. Not so good at selling. Boxes get binned.

aaaaaaaand last night i bought a G3, and all the neccessary parts to make it how i want. Whoops.

I got shot a lot.

As promised:

Those colours on the left are a bit of me. Where do i buy? 😂

All that matters is it works for you. I have a 4x sight and a red dot mounted at 45° on mine.

I have my first ever game tomorrow. I also started with a GBBR as my first gun. 😂

Never have i joined a forum and felt so at home so quickly. I mean.. uhh.. that's weird, dude.. 😬

I bought a Vector Frenzy 1x20x28 the other day. Surprised at how nicely made and finished it is. I liked it so much i bought a Frenzy X 1x22x26 for an upcoming gun build..

I suppose i'm a purist in the sense that i really like the standard 553 stock and grips. 😂 I only bought the hop-up on the basis of it being an available upgrade. I have no idea how to fit/adjust it yet. All that matters is that you like it and it works for you. I'm a bit boring in how i like my guns. A laser has arrived: I have two more on the way but this one might stay, it's just the perfect size. Clears the light mounting and below the sight lens. This might be this gun finished on the outside.👌🏻

Knock-off Surefire light Vector Optics 4x sight Vector Optics red dot sight Mini red laser Maple Leaf hop-up kit Wo Sport tracer/flash hider (flash maker) This is how it currently looks, just waiting on the laser and new flash hider. Acetech Bifrost R looks good and is great for muzzle flash but is a lousy tracer. The Wo Sport silencer/tracer is great though. Hopefully the new Wo Sport will be the best of both. The laser sight will sit on the front of the top rail. I've removed the front iron sight for it. Used some 45° brackets and a 9-slot rail to make the mount for the red dot. I have another bracket coming, if it's better i'll use it instead. This just clears the charging handle. These Vector Optics sights are really nice, and not too expensive either. The only other thing i've done is cut the joining tabs off the magazines. Got any pics of your 553? Thank you, Galvatron.

Thank you for this tip. I had one doing the same thing. Gave it a drop of silicone and it sorted it. 👌🏻

I've wanted an AKS-74U ever since i fist saw Goldeneye. 😂

Thank you, Enid. I have to say, the more i handle the 553 the more i like it. I'm waiting on some more bits for it to arrive then i'll get some pics. Quite tempted to get a 551 too, maybe convert it to a 550 sniper. 🤔

What's the quality of the LCTs like? They're very appealing at that price. This caught my eye: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/lct-airsoft-lcks-74un-full-metal-ak74-replica-aeg-in-wood.html

Hi Dan, yes as soon as i have it there'll be deeply embarassing pictures of me as a tactical seagull!

Hello all! I'm Moose, have read and lurked for a little while before joining. I'm totally new to airsofting, but have had a passing interest in guns for a long time as my dad used to do competition shooting and had a number of guns before the laws changed. Have bought a GHK SIG 553 to get started with but looking to get (many) more. Got my first airsoft match booked for Saturday, nighttime CQB at Combat Airsoft in Norfolk. Then hopefully going to RIFT in Abingdon on Sunday for the fancy dress Halloween game, dressed in a suitably naff seagull onesie. 😂

Yes, the Compact is made by KWA. It feels really nice, fits in my hand perfectly, functions and shoots perfectly. The slide just feels a little "light" and racks almost too smoothly. The ergonomics and function of it is just perfect. I've looked at the P8s and MK23s, but i prefer the USPs. I like the safety/decocker layout and the angled trigger guard. I'm just gonna have to buy one, aren't i? 🤔

Thank you for the reply. I'm definitely more inclined to have a metal slide and trademarks. (I'm picky.) If the Umarex USP is made by VFC then i imagine it's largely the same as my 4.5mm one, which is beautifully made. Apparently they're prone to trigger bars failing though if used in double action a lot. I currently have my USPc and 18C as viable sidearms, i actually like the USPc more out of the two. Might just have to add a full-size Umarex/VFC USP to the collection some time.. That 229 looks very nice!
