But then in order to prosecute the courts would need to prove BEYOND ALL REASONABLE DOUBT that you intended to use the item as a weapon. Having a seatbelt cutter in your car, or carrying a pencil sharpener, I expect it'd be VERY difficult to prove.

Open and unjudgemental?! That's the image people like to present, but snobbery in airsoft is alive and well, in both directions!

honesty.

I'm a 38" chest, 32" waist, small crye shirt is snug on me but I like a tight fit with a combat shirt, less material to bunch up and chafe. Rule I've always gone with is buy one size smaller than your standard British tee shirt size and it'll be about right.

this one lived on the reggies door on HMS Edinburgh... 'nuff said!

acu070617091205 that's the seller, loads of gucci stuff for less-than-normal prices.

Loads of people wouldn't buy a GBB AS VAL or VSS, however I guarantee that the TM M4 GBB will sell out worldwide within a week of release. Some places won't even have enough stock to meet pre-order demand. TM know the market, they've been making airsoft guns for well over 2 decades and are still top-dog for a good reason.

eBay, seller in South Korea had them going for $140 shipped!

SM/REG Crye AC shirt, been searching for ages for one of these at a reasonable price.

looks about right to me, it's easy to go over the top and weather a gun so much that it looks like it's been deliberately.

if it's this one: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/21366-tokyo-maruisystema-akm-originally-ak47/?hl=systema internally, leave it alone, with the stuff that's in there you're looking at mega bucks to get any real gains. Feed it 7.4v LiPo batteries and good quality ammo (0.25g blasters or similar) and it'll last you forever.

Ok, I'll respond with as mature an attitude as I can; 99% of the sh*t you can read on t'internet about 'airsoft gun upgrades' is a load of wank. The vast majority of it's written by 14 year old kids who still cling to the idea that a longer tighter barrel is more accurate and that LiPo batteries will scorch your trigger contacts in minutes so you MUST have a MOSFET or your gun will break. All false. If you want good consistency at range (note; not accuracy, there's no such thing as an accurate airsoft gun, just consistent ones) squeeze out the maximum FPS your site allows and get your hop up working perfectly. The FPS isn't a MUST HAVE, but a good hop-up is. Since I don't know what brand your gun is I can't advise you on what to do to improve your hop up, but a standard tokyo marui hop up unit and rubber is always a pretty safe bet. With barrels quality of finish is more important than bore diameter or length, a 100mm long 6.08mm diameter barrel with a flawless inside will be more consistent than a 600mm long 6.03mm diameter barrel with even a tiny imperfection. MOSFETs have a place, certainly the more expensive computerised ones which provide all sorts of awesome features, but even the standard pure-MOSFET that just routes power past the trigger contacts is useful... if there's a problem which requires it. If it aint broke, don't fix it is a mantra I pretty much live by. If your trigger contacts haven't burned out, they aren't broken. I personally don't advocate the use of 11.1v batteries in anything really, there's no need for 25+ rounds per second monsters and the added wear from the increased cycle speed will wear the gun out quicker. Use a 7.4v LiPo and you'll get the advantage of a higher burst discharge rate than NiMh meaning your semi-auto trigger response will be quicker without the trigger contacts burning out and your piston stripping because the whole thing's cycling at a million miles an hour. Short story: If there's a particular aspect of your gun's performance that you feel is lacking then there is a way to fix that problem, however, throwing parts at it as 'upgrades' because on the internet everyone has an upgraded gun is at best a money pit, at worst a good way to screw the gun up.

Ahh ok then, I bow to your superior experience of 'customised' 'upgraded' guns shooting further and more accurately than stock ones. I've not been doing this long you see.

what's wrong with a 'stock gun'? My M4 is internally stock (with the exception of the inner barrel) and it's fine. You're not going to get massive game-changing gains by sticking new bits in, it's all marginal.

if the emblem on the side is engraved fill it in with a bit of putty/polyfilla and paint over it, if it's not engraved, just sand it lightly and paint it!

if it's already a very nice weapon why are you considering cocking about with it?

probably not without serious modification. the problem you have is that the gearbox on your G&G is non-standard, it's got quite a bit of extra stuff going on above the piston that a standard gearbox doesn't have. Fitting it all into an aftermarket receiver would be a challenge. Not only that, if you're spending $50 on a metal receiver it's likely to be off-spec and made of black painted dairylea, if anything it'll be a downgrade from the really quite strong plastic body that you've got at the moment. As lozart said, when it comes to swapping receivers and the like over it's often easier and in the long run cheaper to just get a different gun.

those shoulder pads are sold as a pair, so it's $41.76 for both. shipping from SKDTac for a low value item like that is going to cost you an arm and a leg though!

because UKARA don't decide who gets to buy IFs or RIFs, the government does. No one under the age of 18 can buy either a RIF or an IF legally so a 'junior UKARA' is completely pointless. As an under 18 there is no law against you owning a RIF, your parents with a suitable defence could buy one and give it to you entirely legally.

no.

You've linked a set of deans connectors. A plug and play mosfet won't do any of the things you're asking for. In fact, a plug and play mosfet doesn't really do anything other than burst fire. In order to improve your trigger response with a mosfet you need it to bypass your trigger contacts which can only be done by hard wiring. As for trigger sensitivity, that's a mechanical issue that you can fix with a new trigger or by bending the contacts inside the gun. Monitoring the spring position directly can't be done with any off the shelf product at the moment, there are mosfets that can monitor the position of the sector gear though, which is just as good. The BTC spectre and chimera units both do those things amongst a wide variety of features. They're not cheap though and fitting them requires a certain level of technical knowledge.

They break down in soil, they need bacteria. Advertised to take a couple of years to break down completely. Best bio BBs are green devil, but they're not cheap. Madbull are supposed to be very good but I haven't used them myself.

going by that logic a CYMA M4A1 and a G&P M4A1 are pretty much identical... we all know that's not entirely true!

normally some kind of resin, what you've 'heard' about bio BBs is bullshit, they don't shatter any more than normal ones and they're not in any way dangerous. do you really think that half the woodland sites in the UK would insist on using ammunition that was dangerous?

Normal BBs are made of plastic.... You're looking at possibly hundreds of years for them to break down.
