the only problem with custom stuff is cost, materials are cheap, time is not, lots of customers (and airsofters especially) don't seem to see this.

Yep, bought the SAI slide for my glock from them last year. Fast shipping and they really know what they're talking about, I get the feeling they're all quite into their GBB stuff as the guy I was emailing was really knowledgable. Excellent english too, much better than 99% of the trogs on Facebook groups who have grown up speaking it and have no excuse!

yeah, wouldn't hold your breath on a PS3 launch... or PSP.

If you want trigger response the single biggest gain you can get is using LiPo batteries. Doesn't matter how beefy your motor is, if your battery cannot discharge enough current to run it up quickly you won't get significant benefits.

propane is used because it's commonly available and has the right boiling point for what we need, I'm sure there's probably a CFC free mix of gases that's non-flammable that could do the job but airsoft is such a small market that there's really no point in any chemical company researching and then manufacturing it. HPA doesn't get used commonly because the tanks are A: Expensive B: Bulky (when compared to a gas-in-mag system) and C: require regular testing.

Tactical gear trade is based in Guangzhou China, the stuff you've bought came from there. It's as close to official USMC kit as a hello kitty onesie, MARSOC have indeed been granted permission to use multicam in theatre, however there's absolutely no evidence to suggest they've actually worn it, 99% of the MARSOC photos kicking about have them wearing M81 woodland in order to blend in with the local forces they're mentoring. As for multicam being an official US Army pattern, couldn't agree more, USMC and US Army are 2 very different beasts though. Not only that, if MARSOC were to wear multicam, they'd be wearing crye gen3 cut stuff, they're a JSOC/SOCOM unit and don't have the same supply lines as the regular USMC.

tacticalgeartrade is a Chinese webstore, you've been had. FYI, USMC don't wear multicam, they wear MARPAT in desert and woodland varieties:

not really, a hundredfold difference in air pressure could kill someone so it's actually dangerous... sending out a gun at 390fps isn't dangerous, it's just shit service.

highly dangerous? really?

give it a whack with something, if you can dent the metal on the rails with anything other than a hammer and a good whack it's a clone.

only way to reduce the power output by 100fps on that gun is to put a new spring in. Getting a new spring by the weekend... challenging.

so much wrong with this I don't know where to begin.

consistently over the limit for 90% of sites though!

as for the camo question for the OP, you'd be fine to do that, it'll still count as an IF so long as the PRINCIPAL colour is bright.

have you even read the VCRA and it's commencement orders? It doesn't say that at all! the definition of an Imitation Firearm is clearly laid out here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-violent-crime-reduction-act-2006-commencement-no-3-order-2007-firearms-measures Just in case you can't be bothered to read to the specific section, I'll quote it below for me, principal colour leans towards that colour being the most prevalent on an item... i.e. more than half.

milspec can probably sort you out for springs. I prefer graphite grease because it's slippier, silicone lube tends to clump up and attract dirt even in small quantities. Gas definitely isn't a factor in the return speed of your slide, the spring on the recoil rod is the one that deals with that, often called the recoil spring. If you want to improve that part there's plenty of aftermarket ones available from asia rated by percentage (100% being the same as stock, 150% being 50% stiffer etc), the stiffer the spring the faster the slide will return to battery but the more gas you'll have to use to cycle it.

If they're getting a little bit 'sloppy' I'd strip everything down, de-grease it and check for obvious wear. If nothing is apparent, re-grease (I use abbey SM50 graphite lube, silicone oil is God for looking after o-rings, not much cop as a lubricant) and try again. If it's still a bit 'meh' chances are your hammer spring is at fault.

Yeah, a blurry photo of a small part of the gun isn't going to be enough to ID it, this isn't CSI.

Your 'UKARA number' is your site membership number, all the UKARA database does is keep a record of people who are members of insured game sites so that retailers can check. UKARA is not a seperate scheme for players, it's a tool for retailers.

Imminent danger of imminent danger is imminent danger. If someone has been told to do something and they instead reach for the gun in their waistband they are going to be shot, a 12 year old with a pistol is just as dangerous as a 21 year old with a pistol.

as others have said, the best place to store your BBs is in magazines. If you're using more than you're carrying in magazines, either carry more magazines or aim better!

Oh right, and who's going to administer this common sense test? The ministry of fuck-all-else-to-do? Nothing will change, this whole thing while unfortunate could only have been prevented by the kid not being a retard. As for 'shoot to wound'... no such thing, if you fire a gun at someone you do it with the intention of killing them, someone can die MUCH faster from a hit to the upper thigh than one to the chest.

Only retailers can add people to the database, United Kingdom Airsoft RETAILERS Association. Some sites are registered as retailers too and so can add people to the database themselves, but if your site is not a UKARA registered RETAILER they won't be able to add you and you'll have to send your form off to a shop.

Those plastic clips are a pain in the bum, they're there for a reason though, the 416 receiver is a tiny amount wider than the standard sopmod receiver and they help brace the gearbox.
