helmets are there to look cool or mount things on, if you think it looks cool, wear it.

To all intents and purposes yes. Technically it's not 100% squeaky clean, however, neither is driving at 31mph in a 30 zone... and everyone who drives has done that at some point.

your grouping at 30m should be dinner plate sized at most, there's definitely something going on. you say the FPS is between 290 and 315, does it jump about in that range between shots or is that just from 2 separate occasions at a chrono? if it's not consistently shooting with a 5-10fps variance or less you've most likely got an air seal issue somewhere. I'd also recommend having a good look at your hop rubber, a worn or ripped (even the tiniest amount) rubber can cause huge accuracy issues. Cleaning the barrel is of course a standard maintenance thing, I expect you've already done it, if not, give it a go, it'll help. However, if the gun's still in-warranty, call the retailer and ask them what to do about it. Most likely they'll say that guns deteriorate over time and that it's standard wear and tear, depending on how long you've had it and how much you've used it they may be right. They'll almost certainly be able to offer to give it a bit of a tune-up and get it back to new though.

yeah that's not a retailer. look at the map of where the bath branch is located.. it's someone's house.

Ahh but THAT's what you're paying for! If it were just the cost of the spring it'd be cheap, £10 ish... but there's half an hour taking it to bits and putting it back together again, then the time to chrono, package it up and send it back. All of that's before the cost of those tools, as I'm sure you're aware good tools aren't cheap, the cost of the chrono etc. For a straight up spring change £30 ish I'd say is reasonable, £34 including return postage is actually kinda cheap.

yeah, DPM is the way forward if you're after something effective in most British woodland.

if it's that ridiculous... do it yourself!

I see your point, however, it'd never even get as far as an arrest as it'd be completely impossible to prove either way who bought it with who's money.

isn't one. there's A1 Airsoft in Poole, that's probably your closest one.

nothing. some retailers call it the tr4-18 and some call it the t4-18, it's the same gun.

Godzilla. Worst.

oh yes, I've already set money aside for it

conclusive proof that an arid transitional pattern is ineffective in evergreen woods when it's snowing... SOMEONE HOLD THE FRONT PAGE!!!

marui barrels are very good quality as far as stock barrels go, I don't expect that a madbull barrel will be better, but with the tighter bore you'll get an increase in FPS.

You can't find 134a anywhere in the EU, it's a horrible greenhouse gas. Abbey 144a is the legal replacement.

They clearly don't have a scooby-do! It's generally accepted that a wider bore is marginally more accurate (you're not going to notice the difference in reality) while a tighter bore increases FPS. I had the long version of the SCAR-L so I just swapped the stock 367mm barrel for a 363mm madbull one. The SCAR-H has a 300mm inner barrel and the cylinder will be matched to that length so I'd recommend sticking with it. Madbull Black Python 6.03mm barrels are the best price/performance available, but the absolute BEST inner barrels are prometheus (albeit at twice the cost!). If you're after getting close to 328fps bare in mind that not every site has a 100% accurate chrono and some will read high, so while your gun might be shooting 1J on the dot you may end up failing if their chrono reads high. I always like to have a bit of a buffer of 5-10% to account for this, as no site owner is going to take your word for it, they'll go off the little LCD screen on the back of their £30 madbull chrono.

normally you won't catch me recommending this sort of thing... but it seems it's gonna fit your requirements more or less perfectly: http://www.ebairsoft.com/dmittsu-chest-p-7221.html that'll carry EVERYTHING you need, and it's less than £30

between 328 and 350 is normal, some places go as high as 370.

for that price you could, and should, get a G&G combat machine. They're THE best guns in their price bracket by an absolute country mile.

Look harder. There's LOADS of high quality full face options available, search for paintball masks.

yeah, a tightbore will bring you up to about 320-325 ish, (did with my SCAR). Absolutely no need to touch the gearbox to get that kind of performance increase.

Highly doubt it. If you're under 18 you're wearing full face, accept it.

yeah, you could wear a welder's mask and if you got hit you'd know about it.

Just gonna roll out and say there's no such thing as a M416, it's a HK416. M416 was invented by Dice for their Battlefield games because they couldn't get licensing from H&K to call it a HK416. Please stop.
