Manage to sort it, Sammo?

 

new rail.. not impressed that the trades aren’t there like the picture, but it will do.

[Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread]

I sold a we mp7 for £190 with 4 mags about 6 months ago.. I then bought a Tm mp7 with 5 mags for £270. It would have to be gold plated before it was worth that. 

 

That g6 I sold to him for £180 (cost me £230 from JD). If he gets £200 I’ll be pissed haha

[Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread]

£199 new or £320 second hand. Made even more hilarious that there’s a TM version directly below for £80 less

Do you have a link by any chance? How does it attach to the gun?

This is pretty much identical. http://www.taiwangun.com/en/slings-slings-mounts/tactical-sling-for-p90-series-black-8fields?from=listing&campaign-id=14

 

at the bottom of the p90 stock there is a slot cut out. It just threads through and around. It’s nice and solid

Nice rig!

It's that a stabilising brace on the stock?

Where did you get it from?

No, just a sling adapter. Loops around the gun and has loops to attach a sling. Think I got it from patrol base.  It’s been a while since I used the p90

Warrior assault systems leg rig. 

 

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

I imagine it will definitely be over 350. The upgrades are great though. Just make sure you align the I key/fang thing dead centre or your shots will wander in one direction

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

I’d hold off on longbows and stick to geoffs/ asg accuracy international BB’s. I’ve heard mixed things (after I bought them sadly).

 

Why did you go for a 220mm barrel? Make sure you watch your FPS. I run a 150mm crazyjet in mine. Ends at the threads on the barrel so I don’t need to run a suppressor if I don’t want to.

^^ further proof that gas is the answer to long range.

This I know. But if your going for the realism of a DMR role(some sites I play at will not allow certain guns to be DMRs-hence why I mentioned it) you need the longer barrel. Agree it does naff all in performance. I have seen a L85 DMR and not only did it look lovely, it fired superbly well. 

 

Havent owned an ICS yet, it is the next gearbox I wanna look inside though!

Yeah, mine is the same. They wouldn’t let you run an mp5 DMR for example. I meant inner barrel, not outer. 

 

I rate ICS up there with TM except their internals are made for 450fps full auto and they just put a smaller spring (and sometimes weaker motor) for us in the UK. TM’s hop is better out of the box, but I’d say the ICS is a better gun as a whole. 

[What would be a good DMR?]

@Prisce the ICS is literally take the rear pin out, slid out the upper GB and replace with w lower FPS one like a systema. 

 

Also.. despite what American airsoft retailers tell you on YouTube, a longer barrel if anything is detrimental to performance. There’s a few on the airsoft sniper forum that run sub 300mm barrels in SR-25’s 

[What would be a good DMR?]

You cannot buy to my knowledge a good out of it he box DMR, they have to be built. 

 

If if I had to use an AEG I would use the ICS because it’s a top quality manufacturer and the split gearbox would make the parts testing and upgrading so much easier. 

[Quick Questions & Simple Answers.]

I think one was called airsoftprices 

[What would be a good DMR?]

@Rogerborg Because of joule creep. An aeg has a fixed volume of air that propels the B.B. out of the barrel. If you have an aeg that fires a .2 at 350 FPS you get I think 1.13 joules. If you add heavier bb’s without altering the air/volume ratio the joules will lower significantly. You might only get .6 joules shooting a .32.. so your .32 not doesn’t have much energy to shead before it falls out of the sky. 

 

On the other end of the scale you have gas guns which have joule creep. My mws and mp7 will both chrono at sub 350 FPS on a .2, but th heavier the B.B. in a gas gun (generally at least) you get an increase in joules. So I might be throwing a .32 out of my 350fps gun but that .32 will still have 1.13j or potentially even more energy. I’m sure I don’t need to explain that a .32 with half the energy isn’t going to fly half as far or as accurately as one with double. 

[What would be a good DMR?]

The m14’s have a nice hop chamber, but any gun can be made into a good DMR. What you need to remember is, like snipers you can’t really buy one out of the box and expect it to be amazing. They need to be built for it. 

 

Personally, for a long range weapon I’d go with a gas gun if you’ve played for a while. Because of their nature they can throw heavy BB’s a really long way at relatively low FPS. You’d struggle to make a sub 400 FPS aeg throw a .36 past 70m

 

what are your site requirements for a DMR?

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

Subject to change when my FRV belt gets here, but this is my ‘Heavy DMR’ loadout. I use it for when I set up shop in an overwatch position, but have some fire power to hold my ground when being overrun in MED. Certainly not a run and shoot loadout lol.

Looks great! I do think they look great with an Acog. Need to get a sling mount for the front of mine.

 

Rainbow8 kindly emailed me and told me what I ordered isn’t in stock  so I’m not best pleased about that.. 

 

time to source it from somewhere else..

[THE TM MWS thread]

Just ordered a guns modify CNC hop adjuster that’s going to go in the DMR. Hopefully it’s going to add a touch more consistency and adjustment. 

[THE TM MWS thread]

I have mag envy 

[THE TM MWS thread]

Offer is always there, mate!

 

personally I don’t find the mag capacity bothering me and if anything it adds to the excitement as well as increasing your skill level.

 

I’ve found using mine has made me a much better player. I think about my loadout as a whole.  Where my mags are, how fast can I draw my pistol, where I’m putting my empty mag etc. With a good setup and the instincts that will come over time with using a low cap, you’ll be a much better player as a whole regardless of what gun you’re using. 

 

Are you behind cover? Check your shots. About to enter a building or general enemy area? Mag change. If your gun shoots further than most, use it as an advantage. Get out of their range and then fire on them. There’s nothing more satisfying than playing for hours and realising you haven’t actually ‘died’ yet, because you’ve been playing smart. 

 

As for the hpa mag... while it doesn’t really interest me, you could mag clamp a stanag high cap to an mws mag, get some tubing like what m249’s use and have the high cap feed into the mws mag with a bit of dremelling, and then tap the bottom of the mws mag for a hpa valve.
