  1. I can almost guarantee that'll use the exact same CREE Q6 LED as the M600.
  2. where did you get that little nugget of info from? I've been to well over 20 sites around the UK and have only ever encountered one site with a blanket ban on CO2 (spartan airsoft near bristol)
  3. any torch is gonna have a pretty big spread at 100m, at least any torch that's usable under 20m will anyway. They're about as bright as you're realistically gonna get for less than 50quid. as for why you'd need a torch that shines 100m when your gun will only go 60-70m on a good day I don't know
  4. element / night evolution surefire M600 clone, really good all round budget torch that comes fitted with a RIS mount.
  5. I doubt it, why would another site loan guns to a competitor? Like any business, you've gotta speculate to accumulate! One way to do it would be to start off small-ish and buy only 5-10 hire guns, make people pre-book for them and you kinda create your own supply-demand issue!
  6. it's not an insurance stipulation, there's only a couple of insurers that offer the specific insurance required for airsoft and they all sing off largely the same hymn sheet for what's covered and what's not.
  7. 10k was an figure myself and a couple of mates came up with for the setup of a whole CQB site in a warehouse from nothing; including insurance for the first year, hire guns, masks, overalls, materials for building, BBs, batteries, magazines, cardboard pyro, radios, first aid equipment, etc That figure DIDN'T cover staff or rent, purely setup costs. Bear in mind, a halfway decent hire gun is gonna cost ~£100 (that's with the VAT reclaimed), hi-cap magazines are a tenner a pop, batteries are another tenner... so that's £120 per hire gun, 20 hire guns and you're already down £2,400. Halfway decent masks (CQB = fog) are gonna run for another £20-30 each.... you get the idea! Either way, not a cheap venture to start. Setting up a woodland site is significantly quicker and easier, as you don't need to worry about buying materials and building all the cover etc straight away, a couple of weekends with a spade and a saw and you can have some halfway decent stuff going straight off.
  8. oh yeah, you're looking at an easy 10 grand to get somewhere started to any decent standard.
  9. Southwest wargames was in a large warehouse, so it can definitely be done.
  10. Shame they closed down?! Full auto CQB in a place the size of a shoebox where a 370fps AEG was allowed to play! I'm not surprised it closed down, it was run by morons.
  11. don't worry about everything matching, everyone should have one off-colour pouch on their rig anyway
  12. A MOSFET is a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor, in airsoft terms what it does is provide a 'remote switch' for running power to your battery directly to your motor, bypassing the trigger switch. The trigger switch will have a very, very small amount of power redirected to it and when that circuit is made, the MOSFET opens up the gates for the rest of that power to go through to your motor. It results in massively increased conductivity which improves trigger response and saves your trigger contacts (which were handling 11.1v for example... now handling 0.1v). Pre cocking, cycle completion, ROF control etc are all features of computerised MOSFETs, the principle is the same in that the trigger switch is bypassed, but there's extra circuitry to control timing and gear positions etc. Precocking for example when set up correctly will hold your piston on the last couple of teeth with the spring compressed, so your next trigger pull only requires the motor to turn a tiny amount to fire, this for an AEG is pretty much 'ultimate trigger response' as it's more or less instant. PTWs use this method to achieve their instant response. Rate of fire control on the more modern MOSFETs is done by cycling the gearbox almost in semi, very fast; the gearbox will cycle for one shot... wait a bit (measured in milliseconds) and then fire again, wait a bit.. fire again, this makes every cycle of the gearbox the same speed, but the rate at which BBs come out of the barrel can be changed at will. Active braking is a feature a lot of MOSFETs have now, even really small ones like the Gate PICO AB, when you release the trigger on your gun without an active braking MOSFET installed the motor doesn't stop immediately, it'll carry on spinning under it's own momentum for a very short time, with high torque and high voltage setups this can sometimes result in the gearbox cycling twice with one trigger pull, known as overspin. Active braking MOSFETs counter this by applying reverse current to the motor for a short time to stop it dead the very instant you release the trigger (or the cut-off lever disconnects the contacts for you in semi-auto), this stops overspin and in theory allows the gearbox to stop in the same position (or thereabouts) every time you pull the trigger.
  13. yeah, that hop unit looks completely battered, do you have some ridiculous metal nozzle fitted? new hop-up unit should fix most of your problems.
  14. A .20g bb at 1500 fps would struggle to leave a mark on a HPA tank. Don't worry about it getting damaged by people shooting at it, they're made of tougher stuff than the wheels of your car.
  15. Plate carriers are sized according to the plates that go in them, providing you're not tall and thin as a rake you'll be able to find a plate to fit your chest.
  16. you could say the same of any AEG manufacturer, a £500 TM probably costs less than £50 in materials, it's the quality control that matters. WE have proved a number of times they prioritise profits over quality.
  17. VFC SCAR-L is discontinued, only way you'll get one now is second hand.
  18. absolutely not, your barrel and hop should be bone dry at all times.
  19. Ear protection panels won't go onto rails designed for mich helmets, angle is different to the rails for ops core style helmets. Covers wise, there's loads on ebay.
  20. sounds like your new piston is 'deeper' than the old one, compare them side by side with the spring in them and see if the spring sticks out further from the new one.
  21. Put the bearing ON the spring guide to help it cycle! That's what it's there for! If 13:1 was getting stuck, 16:1 stands a better chance but there's no guarantee.
  22. the SCAR-H SSR absolutely will not work with STANAG magazines, completely different. No need to spend £500 to get a TM, order from echigoya in Japan and they're 'reasonably' priced.
  23. yeah, if you boost it to 450fps, don't shoot .20g BBs at 450fps, you won't get any extra range and accuracy will be all over the place. at 450fps I'd be looking at .36g or .40g for maximum range and accuracy.
  24. 2 piece hop-up is a direct clone of the old tokyo marui design, easy to replace with a 1 piece just by pulling all the bottom half out of the lower receiver.
