I very rarely say this, but..... do want, big time.

Makes sense, was kind of hoping that that wasn't the case as it shows that there are products out of stock etc, still planning to ask for refund if there hasn't been any contact by saturday.

as above, payed for 2 boxes of the P90 mags and there hasn't been any status update for the past few days, planning to cancel if nothing happens by the end of the day.

from the research I did, the weak point is just the barrel, it seems they have a tendency of shredding under higher pressure, so the steel outer barrel prevents this from happening, there are also tales of the slide exploding back, but most of these did the "upgrade" to the guarder poly frame, which everyone agrees is crap, the inner frame is just a bit of piece of mind on my part and shouldn't be needed. big thing however is that it requires slightly more TLC than the average GBB, that's offset by the ease with which it strips, but just something you should be aware of. and also to make sure, the magazines are huge, do not expect any of your current pouches to hold them. I will be giving a skirmish review once it arrives, prior to upgrades and after to see whether they affect the gun too much.

TM FN5-7 as there was a deal on ehobbyasia as well as a steel outer barrel and CNC inner frame for aforementioned pistol 4x SJ4000 cams from that discounted ebay retailer (3 for myself, one for a present. 2 boxes of KA P90 mids (the MAG ones jam every dozen rounds or so)

KA P90 Multicam black baseball cap Black WAS universal holster.

is there a difference between V2 and V3 anti reversal latch springs? somethings jamming my box and that's the only thing i had to change.

Just wish I didn't look so much like a James Bond/Avengers bad guy henchman. Looking to get a KA P90 but they all seem to be totally out of stock which seems a bit weird.

Multicam black Leo Kohler top and trousers, really good quality, lack of a zip on the top is a bit irritating though. 1000d cordura ATACS FG (3m) to make a set of easy access .50 mag pouches as even though the kydex ones are good, they just take up too much space, as well as a super size dump pouch.

where the hell did you find that? it looks new

Thanks, sent a message.

Who are people's preferred people to get custom patches (hopefully for use on a beret) done up for cheap?

fixed it for you.

there are five things I'd want in an airsoft drone: tough (capable of not being damaged by BB's) wide angle camera (possible Night Vision option, possibly with separate controls for camera movement) reinforced compact carry case good battery life (capability to use airsoft lipo's would be good) and last but least, not prohibitively expensive (I'd spend no more that £300 on something like this) if you can provide all these and make it look relatively good looking, you'll have a good seller. Personally, I don't like the idea of a gun mounted on it, kind of like those BB tanks which go nowhere.

My own personal opinion is that the best m4 is an ICS M4, I'm sure people will comment to the likewise, but my reasoning is that the stock hop unit is really good, the turbo 3000 motor many people seem to "upgrade" too, but they come stock in the newer (I believe post 2008, correct me if I'm wrong) guns. And having owned and abused 3 of them (granted I have sold all of them) the gears have shown literally no sign of fatigue, and I don't think I've ever seen a broken gear set. The split gearbox is just the icing on the cake making repairs a total doddle. My 2p

used fifth column before and they were pretty good, no complaints and one of the guns they sold me was faulty, replaced it immediately.

Looking to engrave and then inlay with gold a pistol (WE 1911 chrome edition), got a mate to engrave but no idea on inlaying the engraving. by the look of it, this is my best bet "http://www.forsterproducts.com/catalog.asp?prodid=700512" but I was kind of hoping for something in the UK, or even a combination of products, I know that it's probably all there in google but I was also hoping for any tips and tricks? It's going to be their vows on the slide (with a little stylised heart), and then the names on a wooden (mahogany) grip, I was thinking about doing the slide in gold, and the grips in silver, will I need a different set of materials for wood?

Having used and abused my old TM 4.3, which has had 5 years of serious abuse from me (and I would very happily recommend as a pistol), it was finally starting to falter, various springs were failing, body seemed to be slightly warped, and it was misfiring during heavy use, she was retired, and is being kept in pride of place for sentimental reasons. I was now in the market for a new pistol, I bought myself an ASG MK23, and although it is a worthy pistol, it just doesn't have the kick and speed that my old 4.3 had. I was looking around for pistols that I liked the look of, and texted a mate of mine who owns a shop, and asked to have a look around and try out some, I first thought of the WE G17 Gen4 as quite a few people are raving about it, and there was a load of spare parts available. but having had a love affair with the 5-7 since firing one in yankland, and watching this review of the real one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXNPxOg8dYk kind of turned my eye for the one he had in the window, I fired off a few rounds and really liked it, but being the sensible man I am, I went home with a fat wallet to do a bit of research, the few reviews I found of this one (specifically the CO2 version, not the older green gas version) raved about it, but they seemed a bit too much like overexcited kids so set up a thread which showed a lack of experience. going back disheartened I was planning to go for the safer G17, however the 6 month warranty and swap for the G17 finally swayed me, and so walked out with the 5-7, and this is my 500rd (1 skirmish, lot of backyard plinking) review. Initial feelings The Magazine is huge, and that is not and undervaluation, I am currently using 40mm 203 shell pouches to carry the mag in. Magazine capacity is 22+1. The actual gun is relatively small, being 20cm barrel end to rear, and 14cm mag baseplate to top of slide, the grip is quite long, being 6cm (for comparison the mk23 is only 5.5cm and that is considered a large grip. The mag release is a bit large, but I have not had any circumstances of accidental releasing as the spring inside is quite tense and there is plenty of surface area for it to catch on the magazine. The safety, is, quite frankly, weird and quirky, I have never come across anything similar, but I really love it, it's very intuitive, and if it's on, it stays on, if it's off, it stays off, it's easy to manipulate, and isn't proud enough to be affected by anything (fabric holster, tactical pants placement, or thumb movement etc). The pistol has 2 slide release options, slide release catch on the left side (useable, but uncomfortable by your index finger if your a lefty), which is really well positioned for your thumb, but personally power stroking it is a lot of fun. Field stripping the pistol is very simple, rack it about a quarter of the back, move the catch at the front of the gun to the rear position, and then lever up, with reassembly technically being the exact reverse, but it takes a lot of fiddling to get it right. Firing The hop is also an interesting design as I find it a lot easier to adjust than other pistol styles (see in pictures), and the hop is able to spin 0.36's up, quite accurately as well. Having owned the x-5 (CO2 P226) it doesn't have such a violent firing pattern, but it's noticeably more powerful than an equivalent green gas pistol (TM 4.3). FPS (using my brand new xcortech 3500, and all shots were using 0.28 bad wolf BB's) wise the first 2 rounds were 285fps and 288fps respectively (337fps and 340fps converting it to 0.2's using an online calculator), after that the remainder of that mag and the next 3 mags averaged between 255fps and 267fps (301fps and 315fps converted to 0.2's) and then a reduction of 5-10fps per shot after that, I can get a good 5 mags out of one CO2 capsule, the 6th mag just doesn't have enough juice for my liking to be relied upon. I have measured out 30m and can hit a tin can every time as long as wind doesn't change dramatically. In skirmish, she feels very pointable and the sights are easily acquirable. Further Thoughts As mentioned above I have only fired about 500rds through it, but if it continues along this, I have no problem recommending this to others. I use it in a WAS universal holster, my only concern with it is that the plastic release button/lever(?) is exactly where the mag release is so there is the possibility of it releasing the mag without you knowing however it has not happened to me yet. There are little to no after-market parts at the moment, with EVIKE being the only one stocking a few limited pieces, and mags are quite expensive at £35 a pop (airsoft world). It feels like it would suit a tactical light/laser on the rail, I have none to test, but there are plenty of reference photos online. Overall So far, very happy, feels nice, very unique (have only seen 2 other 5-7's at skirmishes), and a good shot. Hopefully she'll continue being as capable. I will likely update this if something catastrophic happens, or if anyone requests a status update/questions.

little bit of solder or something to prevent the tappet plate from moving all the way back? personally I like what fire-support (at least I think it was fire-support) where they drilled a small hole and threaded it for a tiny bolt which prevents going into full while the bolt was in.

I went out to get the WE G17, but he also brought the 5-7, and I loved it, couldn't resist getting it, it feels right without going over the top, and it also fits into my WAS universal with only a bit of padding, only complaint is the bloody stripping mechanism is chipping my thumb nail. also just paid for a Xcortech 3500 to finally know how hot my guns are without having to do onsite modifications.

any reason for an M4 silent build? P90's could be a lot quieter as you can do all of the above, fill the space between the gearbox and body with sound insulating foam, and the way you naturally hold a P90 means your body takes up a lot of the of the vibrations?

Add a scarf, gloves, and bring a fleece for between games or long defence games.

I'm looking at getting a new pistol as my 4.3 is getting a bit old (has to be at least 7 years old as I bought it second hand well used 5 years ago) and is starting to develop a couple of niggles. so I was looking at a new pistol for general skirmishing. Initially I was looking at a WE G17 because people have been praiseful of it, but I was offered a Marushin 5-7 for £100 and it felt quite nice, and the reviews I've seen haven't been bad. so I was wondering whether I should go for it, or just stick with the G17? By the by, I'm only asking for the working/reliablity, it seems many people don't like the looks, but I kinda like the sci-fyey look.
