on that topic actually, I figure if anyone's gonna know it'll be you chris, what's the best ceracote match for the daniel defence dark earth colour on their rails? The Madbull one's colouration is off and it annoys me!

they've just started again, have been on the market for about a month. Personally I wouldn't use a BFG in woodland, too much chance of losing it!

lots of 6-7 foot high walls at STANTA, having a ladder makes it easier to attack compounds with only one gate.

a few more have surfaced from the weekend, credit to @guy_butler_photography on instagram for these:

full metal am bestest.

That's clearly still not as quick as a Systema though. when I say the response on a PTW is instant it's because I mean it, I don't mean 'fast' I mean instant. Like real gun instant, the time it takes for a sear to break and a hammer to swing forward instant. Whether you'd notice the difference while playing... that's by the by, like I said, you can get close but you'll never quite get there with an AEG gearbox without clever pre-cocking mosfets and even then it'll still be a couple of milliseconds slower than a PTW.

hammer sear is worn out, get a new one.

if that were the case though, we'd all be using G&G combat machines.... there's no argument that a properly modded systema PTW is BETTER than pretty much anything else going. Sure you can pour money into an AEG and getting it performing nearly as well as a PTW, but you'll never achieve the instant trigger response that a PTW has, certainly not without creating a 50RPS monster which is pretty pointless in itself. That and the improved materials, real-spec grips and receivers... I can see why people buy them. I personally have invested heavily into the TM recoil platform and probably won't move away from it to a PTW unless a really really attractively priced package comes my way. I'm planning to upgrade my TM M4 to get as close as I can to PTW trigger response without outrageous ROF and it's looking like I'm going to need to sink ~£300 into what's already a £600 gun to get there. Another £300 and I could have bought a PTW.

Green Devil Bio BBs, swear by them. They degrade entirely in soil in about 24-36 months, are more consistent and accurate than so called 'premium' BBs like madbull or blaster devils. Ironfoot.co.uk is the place to go to get them.

use a cigarette filter tip soaked in meths, run it through a couple of times, change it for a dry one... if it's still not clean do it again. Rinse and repeat until the barrel runs through clean. the chances of it being gearbox grease are slim, it's more likely just the crap that came in it from the factory.

I have a tongue like a black and decker! As M_P said, 14.5" SOCOM profile outer barrel, madbull daniel defence 12.5" RIS2. 363mm inner barrel is exactly the right length.

PCU L5 clone (allwin I think) in alpha green.

Seriously bright. Like seeing stars can disorient people bright. Won't ever buy another china clone torch again, the difference in light output is (LOLOL) night and day.

A quick in-FOB snap of me at STANTA this weekend just gone. Was going for a SEAL-ish look to blend in with the rest of the guys there, didn't stand out like too much of a sore thumb (with the exception of being the only one without a helmet!).

Just worn mine for an entire weekend at STANTA and didn't have any issues with fogging, only treated the lens inserts once with the ESS anti fog cloth on the Saturday morning and it was fine.

nice copypasta. FYI 330ml has been the standard sized can in the UK for as long as I can remember... and I am OLD.

As far as I know this doesn't use a speaker, it's a small propane noise cannon. They're quite popular with reenactors. If they can miniaturise this into a peq box with maybe a gas tank in a foregrip I can see these becoming really popular. I can see there being plenty of issues with these if they're made widely available (no legal issues, they're perfectly legal). In CQB a propane cannon will be extraordinarily loud, hearing damage loud. Not so much in woodland, but I'd definitely be wearing hearing protection if I were shooting one.

Just googled it, I'd go with custom machined barrel nut with a 14mm thread on the outside face. You could probably have one made but it wouldn't be cheap.

I think what happened there is that you went full retard. Never go full retard.

no, there is no way with off the shelf parts you can attach a suppressor directly to a delta ring or upper receiver. you could make a very very short barrel and attach it that way, but the answer to your question remains 'no'.

no.

That's standard airsoft monkey metal. Decent ABS plastic I reckon is actually stronger than some of the metal receiver that are knocking about.

everyone always talks about 'the sport being under scrutiny'... by who? who is scrutinising airsoft. I'm pretty sure at the moment we're so far below the radar of policy and law makers that they can't even be arsed to fix the laws we've already got.

Yeah that's a comp 2, LR44 batteries are easy enough to come by. Try a watchmakers shop :-)
