Does anyone know whether a TM AA12 mag will fit comfortably within a double M4 mag pouch, specifically http://www.uktactical.com/p-8070-warrior-single-m4-556mm-a-tacs-fg.aspx without being too loose?

New rides, kind of had a couple of good deals come up that I couldn't pass up, nissan is fully insured and taxed and on the road, really good vehicle that I can highly recommend. Jaguar is kind of my "Cruiser", absolutely love driving her, just terrified of taking her along country lanes.

sorry mate, put the wrong word in, it's UKtactical who constantly have discounts available, edited my post.

the viper LAZER set up seems to be the premium of Viper, but as mentioned before it is still cheap and chinese, as you will see on this forum people will recommend UKtactica equipment, http://www.uktactical.com/c-722-od-green-armour-rigs-tactical.aspx also if you sign up for the uktactical newsletter and hold off for a bit, you should be able to get the DCS for only £10 more than the one you listed, and I can guarantee it'll last you for your entire airsofting career, I've got an old WAS RICAS Compact that is still going strong after 2 years of seriously hard graft, whereas an old viper holster I got I've basically relegated as apocalypse prop use because it looks like it's been through WW3-5 after less than 1 years worth of use. The viper LAZER should work for a good while dependent on how hard you use it, but the WAS will last you for as long as you airsoft. also if you look on the foreign website you should be able to get the Viper rig for a lot less than what military1st is selling it for, when I've got more time I'll have a look around. Edit: wrong wording

Currently in the process of making a couple of youtube shorts, near future WW3 sort of thing, and I was thinking what sort of weaponry people would recommend, I've currently got a KA P90, Galil ARM and soon to have an AA12 for personal use. Now I kind of want something slightly more interesting than the classic M16 AK47 combo, so I was thinking of using the Galil ARM with my C-MAG as an LSW, the AA12 as it seems everyone recognises engineers as having shotguns, now the main weapon is something I'm a bit stuck on, first thought is just buying a second KA P90, but then I thought everyone is just going to think Stargate SG-1, and even though I agree that the weapon is a good platform, I'm kind of thinking about holding back to use the P90 for what it was designed for (IE PDW for vehicle crews) and using something else. Keeping continuity with the Galil I thought the ICAR-MRS (http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-metal-galil-icarmrs-airsoft-gun-aeg) looks quite interesting/futuristic, and being relatively unknown, as in the average movie goer is unlikely to ever recognise it, throw on a spectre dr and a foregrip/AFG and bobs your uncle. Or get hold a second KA P90 and just stick on a Red-dot and flashlight and there you go. I know reading this I sound like I've made up my mind, but I'm really looking for confirmation, or if someone has a better idea I would really appreciate the thought.

thanks mate, the mandate looks extremely interesting I agree wholeheartedly, the only game I like which was based (loosely) on a film was Aliens vs Predator 2, absolutely loved it, at the time. and was just thinking how much could be done within the canon universe while playing up to current gaming standards.

As I was driving along, I reached a radio blackspot where there wasn't anything of any interest, and it gave me a bit of time to think, specifically about the crud that is the gearbox software Aliens: Colonial Marines, especially considering that there are a new set of Alien films coming out, it'll only mean a new set of games coming out. And started thinking about what I would have done if I had been in charge (and all that jazz). One of the biggest things is that I would go along the lines of Mass effect, specifically the "Space Opera" style; an actual universe covering several unique worlds, overarching choices that have far-reaching consequences, 50/50 action to storyline etc. some of the ideas for gameplay: -Along the lines of brother in arms (hells highway), instead of controlling single people, you control 3 4 man fireteams (the player being a separate unit) which you can modify, for example you can have 2 teams with just pulse rifles that might be able to move faster and have better awareness (to see the xenomorphs slightly quickly) supported by a team consisting of 2 smart gunners and 2 normal marines which would have a better ability to engage any enemies, but move slower and have fewer out of combat options. maybe a squad of medics/flamethrower (remember dietrich from the film). Maybe forgo a team for an APC, with the classic problems of having limited mobility within structures, but I hope you get the general idea of the force mechanics I'm putting across. -Area negatives/positives, for example like in the film aliens you may have points where certain weapons are limited, or you may come across colonies/derelicts with high quality motion sensors that make finding enemies easier etc -Interstellar transport, along the lines of Xcom, as in there is a movement of time which can affect your decisions. For example, the more time that goes after the initial report of an infestation, increases the amount of xenomorphs that you encounter when you finally get to relieving that colony. But you can have other factors that may affect your decision, such as colonies that cry wolf/false reports, WY research facilities, Engineer artifacts. With the classic rewards (faster ship engines, acid resistant armour, etc). -Something slightly different, no-safe points when on the ground (maybe even when in the ship) so you may be attacked while talking to civilians in supposed safe points, or when your walking through previously safe areas, which could be a reason for having better awareness so that you won't lose anyone were you ambushed, or bad awareness means that xenos wouldn't be spotted until half you force is dead. these are just a couple of ideas I was thinking, and you never know, something cool might happen. I'm happy for people to rubbish this idea, as long as they give a reason, please no "crap idea", or if people have something that may be cool.

Good point, but I could've sworn that crye or some other high end producer made a cut specifically for ladies, just can't remember who specifically.

We're doing a bit of a military style youtube video and I'm trying to make some form of uniformity but I can't find any cut for a lady, any help would be really appreciated. thanks geoff

if memory serves, when I first got it, it was chronoing just under 400fps, a couple of thousand rounds (in the backyard) it had settled down to ~360 fps (around about). right now it's shooting 328-333fps, but there's a story behind that, went to the mall with mates and totally forgot about the fps limits, so instead of borrowing a gun I heated up a needle and stuck it through the air nozzle (don't do this at home kids) which got it to the current level, and I never saw a point in bringing it back up as it's at a level totally legal at any site in the UK.

no worries, I'm personally of the opinion "if it ain't broke, don't fix it",unless there is something actually wrong with it, or you've got a specific thing in mind I'd just clean the barrel and play with it until it dies. in terms of things I've done, the carbine one has the most rounds through it, and the upgrades are: 13:1 gears from AK2M4 (SHS if I remember correctly), changed the old ones as I went through a ROF period, added maybe 3-4rps. Lonex red piston (stripped the old one after about 15-20 games) recommend airlab as the better supplier. at the same time as the above, I put on a POM mushroom silent head (can't remember the make) firefly hard hop rubber (only put this in if you've got everything else right, should add a few metres). and as an additional, they use the crappy green lube/gunk in the boxes, I would recommend getting rid of it as soon as possible. probably the only thing I would recommend to be done immediately. there are a couple of other things I have done because of the external modifications, so I won't list them. when you do upgrade, do one thing at a time, much easier to trouble-shoot. any problems, give me a buzz

sure sorry the last one isn't up to date, those 2 are currently being worked on and I'd rather not give it away till it's finished (already been in production for a year), and as to why, I just think that the .50 bmg/M82 platform is so good I'm surprised there isn't more multi-role capability for it.

Considering I currently own 4 SW M82's, the hops they come with is actually pretty good, the 2 "upgraded" ones I bought either didn't show any improvement, or showed a loss of air seal, only thing I've actually done is change barrel and bucking (pdi 6.01mm and a lonex hard bucking) and that improved it a bit. But if you are desperate to change the hop unit, try out one of these, cheap and good quality http://www.ak2m4.co.uk/zci-m4-hop-up-chamber-metal, used them before

Shameless plug http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/29318-cm040-cyma-ak74-parts-and-spares/

ICS Galil GRM with ICS C-mag (plus adaptor), kind of wanted a LSW style rifle to lay down some heavy firepower.

update, I've had to stop using her altogether due to the reasons listed below: after a period of time the mags seem to fire erratically, acting as if there is low pressure after the 4-5th round on a fresh cartridge. the rear sight on my initial pistol blew itself apart, was within warranty so got a new pistol but already it seems rather loose (2-300rds). the BB follower constantly gets caught on the side of the mag walls preventing loading of the net round. I am not happy with this gun and would highly recommend anyone to stay away unless they want a cheap film gun with blow back. Once I have some time to spare I'm going to have a go at widening the gas router hole a bit to all some more CO2 through and see if I can find an after market output valve that just might fit.

since when did all this sibling love happen? absolutely loath my youngest brother, and mildly dislike my middle one, xmas without them would be heaven.

here you go http://eliteshootingcentre.co.uk/Gas%20Guns/Gas%20Pistol%20Magazines/Gas%20Psitol%20Magazines.htm

if you can scrape around another £10, go for a TM hi-capa. best GBB pistol bar none; http://eliteshootingcentre.co.uk/Gas%20Guns/Gas%20Pistols/Items/5.1%20Hi%20Capa.htm or http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=1866 got a 4.3 second hand about 5 years ago, and apart from a nine-ball hop bucking and new gas router it's still going really strong. out of the choices given the only one worth having is the F226, WE 1911 has problems with gas consumption/storage (you'll be lucky to get a mag off). the M92f doesn't have an adjustable hop, the ASG is a rebrand of KJW which (at least in my experience) work brilliantly for a while until they fail catastrophically, add to that limited aftermarket parts. you could also consider getting a lipo and new hop for your Cyma Glock to breathe new life into it, a cheaper option.

Not really an issue unless she likes big guns, guy who regulars at a site I occasionally goes to is paralysed from the waist down and uses a mounted MG on his mobility chair. Went to Taiwan and there was a guy with a prosthetic hand which he made up a clamp for his M4, and a tomb raider style rig for his pistol mags. Look up on YouTube as many rifles have a way of loading/unloading with one hand. I would initially recommend a family friendly site, somewhere small and easy going, if your in the South East Cool under Fire, bush valley or apocalypse as it will (hopefully) give her the best impression of the sport. http://youtu.be/42svGQfdehk

well, how about a TAVOR? the ares one has beautiful externals which is as tough as old boots, it uses stanag mags with the only let down being the internals and I can say quite happily that the ergonomics are really quite nice with everything feeling in the right place?

Well, I like to go all out, so in your circumstances I'd do something like this http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/M5R-Concept-Assault-Rifle-With-Digital-Display_A1UQCZ.aspx#.VmMT6vmLSUk. or even have a go at something wrist mounted?
