Baser

Thanks mate, sorry assumed the others on the wall were also WE L85's as you already had the mags. Interested to hear how you get on with it!!

What do they shoot like? After falling in love with my WE Apache MP5(s) I feel I need more GBB in my life and there have been a few used WE L85's roll through the classifieds which have been very tempting.

Having a morning playing around with toys. 1st purchased a couple of weeks ago, WE Apache MP5K. Lovely gun, spotless condition came with 5 mags to give me enough to field a whole game (with the other 3 I already have). Local site have opened an indoor CQB and I think this is the coolest way to play the game. I have added an e-shooter tracer unit for the full laser beam effect 2nd Completed the DMR upgrade to the LCT G3, maple leaf 6.02 510mm stainless barrel, 4uantum hop rubber and nub and m130 spring. Shooting 1.88J on .36 BB’s like a laser. Had the selector modified to only shoot semi. After a couple of games it decided to shoot only full auto? Modified the trigger contacts as it was arcing giving the full auto then it decided not to fire at all. Now fitted a e shooter mosfet to solve those problems and now it’s shooting very well with a very short trigger pull. Modernised with the LCT m lok handguard and an unknown fore grip from the box of parts, trying to make this monster easier to handle, might look at adding a small bipod to the front but not convinced it will get used and just add weight? Any thoughts? 3rd WE Apache MP5, modernised with a Cyma m lok handguard to keep it looking like the G3. Had to modify it with a hacksaw to make it fit, like the look and it gives me options for torches and tracers for CQB or fore grips for woodland.

Cool bag with lots of water / coke / monster etc. Tactical emergency Haribo. Comfy trainers (mostly as I can't drive in my boots) A couple of t shirts or long sleeve wicking fabric type tops as you will really feel the cold when you stop running about/sweating. Spare eye pro. Spare battery. Depending on site I sometimes take a camping chair if there's limited/no seating. Barrel sock as some sites say its mandatory.

I've used both and to be honest can't say I notice the difference in both GBBR and AEG, but I'm not fussy and a terrible shot! Think originally the bios went bad over time or if they got damp and I've read some say you get more bits of BB in your barrel if you use bios. I just use what I can get as some sites / shops carry limited stock so if I want to use .28 or .32 or something else my gun of choice likes to run I just buy what's there.

I have a couple of WE Apache MP5's 1. Bought a used from the classifieds, came with fixed and folding stock and surefire light and standard hand guard and 3 gas tight mags. Shoots really well but 120 rounds from the 3 mags is not enough. Cost £350 2. Bought a used MP5K PDW from the classifieds, came with 5 mags Cost £420. Carry all 8 mags into a game and come back empty after 2 hours but I need to move on from my usual spray and pray AEG game and learn to choose my shots. I also carry a small speed loader with 100 rounds in it so I can fill mags at spawn when I run out. Both shoot really well and were in great condition from their previous owners. GBB is fun and more realistic and can be done for £400 but it will be tight especially for mags and carrying ammo.

Patrol Base have been good the couple of times I have needed to return kit for warranty work. Always sent back next day delivery in a fresh shipping box. I dropped a gun in while travelling for work and it made it home before I did. Fire support are great a sourcing kit, I needed a part for my LCT G3 which I couldn't find anywhere and my usual LCT shop said they couldn't get the part. Fire support ordered it from LCT in Taiwan and delivered it in a couple of weeks! Modern Warrior are my local store, always been good at warranty/upgrade work as they have a in shop tech. Surplus Store are also good with their own in store tech team for warranty/upgrade work.

Have a look at Apocalypse in Kent, you can train from Stratford to Sittingbourne and then it’s 10 mins in a cab. They have a Call of Duty game most Saturdays, which are for kids and parents and an adult only game on a Sunday. Not been the call of duty games as I don’t have kiddos but the photos from site look like it’s busy, adult games can have 200+ players.

Looks awesome, nice big battery space but agree with Der Der it’s strange having to carry a hex key all the time (taking mag on off for safe zone). The cardboard box mag won’t last one soggy game day before turning to mush, understand plastic ones break but I would need to get a steel/ali one fabricated to use this in game?

Love this, I originally wanted to put one on my DMR as a I case someone slips inside the MED but I don’t think these have the 30m range to cover the gap.

I would say no. 1.13j limit is plenty for CQB, I cringe at chrono when the HPA rifles and pistols are tuning their pressures to be at exactly 1.13j when the max engagement distance is 10m. I’ve had plenty of blood injuries and a couple of scars so don’t feel more power is needed. 1.13j limit is fine for woodland pistol/auto rifle. I think if you increase the power limit you will just increase the engagement distance, MED or no MED. My old TM AK has well under 1j of power but comfortably holds its own out to 50/60m from its excellent hop. If you increase power limits you would need to work on the accuracy as well as flinging BB’s further/harder is only part of this. More power and the need for more accuracy would just make the game more expensive to get into and frustrate/put off new players who run and gun a OOB AEG. 1.88j is plenty for DMR. I love shooting my DMR, really good for sitting on the flanks suppressing any enemy advancements but a 30m MED in woodland is hard enough as it is with trees and bushes limiting sight lines. Also had a couple of mates come to me after a game to say they know it’s me that shot them given how much more it stings. 2.5j is plenty for boltys. Similar to above, a 30m sight line is difficult enough as it is and being picked off by a sniper you can’t see and potentially can’t reach with returning fire will get even more annoying! Add to that the cheats out there won’t put their hands up when they get shot be that at 1.13j or 1.5j. Cheats also won’t observe any MED leading to more salty players or players simply not returning.

In my experience duel welding pistols is dependant on site. I have done it and it’s huge fun for 2 or 3 mins then a pain when you have to reload the mags. Have a look at GBB SMG’s if he wants that kind of fun! Love using my WE Apache MP5 for up close and personal with a kick. Really interested to know how he gets on with the mini launcher, looked at them a couple of times but never purchased.

There’s a CQB site attached to the back of Extreme Airsoft near Leicester who have pistol only events and occasionally have special buy a pistol and a couple of mags and get a free game where everyone plays with that pistol and 2 mags. It’s an interesting game, very strategic where you have to choose your shots and make time to reload rather than just running in with a 250 BB midcap in a silent M4.

I quite like cam man, mostly sniper content so I’ve been watching him while getting used to my DMR.
