Depends entirely on the spec of the PTT, if it's an amplified one then all you'll be able to transmit is very loud noise, if not it should work fine. That said, z-tac sordins are utterly rubbish and it's well worth spending the extra money for real ones.

Anything in the last 10 years and you're gonna have to replace pretty much everything on your kit list.

Px4 isn't correct for any UK unit at any time.

Vision king short dots are pretty awesome, for the price I don't think there's a better option.

L129A1 made by LMT. The AW50 is a lot more fun though!

Yeah baby.

If it's the FMA holster for the MP7 I wouldn't trust it with a £300 gun, I have one and its very flimsy, feels like one good knock and the gun would just slide out.

It's short and comfy, long grips get in the way on such a compact gun and most of the short ones like tangodown stubby etc aren't all that comfy because of the way they attach to the rail

Take the green laser and put it in the bin, they're not eye safe by any stretch of the imagination. As for the pressure pads, electrical tape or rubber bands.

Weird, did you buy it second hand then? TM only make them with the folding grip so someone must've modded it at some point. Since you've already got the rail on there I highly recommend a magpul RVG, it'll make holding it much more comfortable.

I fixed one of my MP7 mags with some instant gasket maker, smeared on a load left it to dry for 24 hours with the rocket valve removed and it's been fine since. Only had one mag leak since I bought it in January 2013. Without doubt the TM MP7 is my best gun, for £300 it's range and accuracy are phenomenal. Gas wise I've been running it on dry propane, no added lube at all. Abbey maintenance gas for storage, I'm pretty sure that's what has kept it going. They're very low maintenance for a gas gun, I have only lubed the bolt once since I bought it and it's running just as well now as it did the day I got it. Externals wise there's not a lot you can do, FMA make a copy of the wilcox rail for it which replaces the folding foregrip with a bottom rail. Outside of that I recommend replacing the stock TM flash hider with the nineball steel one, it's a lot tougher and it looks much better than the shiny pot metal stock one. For a torch the element M300 looks nice, or an X300 but I don't think you can get a repro tail switch so you'd have to get a real one (which I heartily recommend, 500 real lumens is painfully bright!)

In that case you need to ban ANYTHING big enough to contain a firearm, pencil cases included. Wouldn't ever be able to point anything at anyone ever again!

as above, if you've got a UKARA number on the box it'll get through no problems... no number = problems.

I was considering getting the VFC one to see if it's any better, decided against it in the end, there's so many pictures of guys with surefire M600 lights on their block2 guns that I went for that instead, much more robust and a shitload brighter!

looks awesome Mack, how do you find the element M3X? mine was rubbish!

Yeah, you need to depress the bolt catch manually.

They do wear out, but it takes a long time and a lot of use. I've got a tenspeed MP7 pouch that I've been using for over 2 years now, the elastic round the very top is starting to look tatty but they still work fine, I reckon they've got another year or two left in them at least.

Unless of course you want a pistol that'll shoot a consistent FPS regardless of temperature, then CO2 is a pretty good option. Had a go on a WE glock with CO2 mags a couple of months back, while not as snappy as a TM it had no trouble emptying a whole mag in 0C weather, I'm pretty sure it would have performed the same in -10C too.

They make legit armour for the German military, high quality stuff but obviously quite heavy!

It's hard enough to understand that you clearly don't! OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. OWNERSHIP IS NOT A CRIME. Sale of a RIF is a crime, as is import or manufacture. You do not require a defence to own a RIF and unless you are actively committing a crime with it (brandishing it in public etc) the police have no legal basis upon which to do anything about you owning one.

I have the real one and it was very tight on pmags when I first got it, loosened up a bit with use but it's still quite snug. On the up-side, no danger of magazines falling out!

Apprentices now on average earn more than graduates in their first jobs. If there's a subject you're passionate about go and study it, but I wouldn't recommend to anyone that they should go to university just for the sake of it. £9,000 a year just on tuition is a lot of cash.

I honestly don't see the point in a full auto pistol... if you've run out of ammo for your rifle then you're going to want to preserve your shots with your sidearm so you wouldn't use it then, if you're inside a building or whatever and have to switch to a pistol then you probably shouldn't use the auto feature (only takes one BB to hit someone, no need to put 10 into them!). As for accuracy/range, a TM pistol will probably out range your SRC G36, your long distance accuracy will suffer largely because of the constraints of a pistol (no stock, short distance between sights etc), not the capabilities of the pistol.

why get a KWA when the TM is so much better (it really is!) and shoots at UK CQB power right out of the box?
