Just the mags. Obviously HPA is meant to be dry do you need to lube it manually with silicone half way through the day and make sure the mags are not left dry when you finish but yeh. CQB Russian HPA valves for each magazine: http://www.socomtactical.net/airsoft-accessories/magazines/magazine-accessories-and-speedlo/cqb-russian-hpa-valve-for-kwa-airsoft-gas-magazine.html Make sure you get the KWA ones and be sure not to overtighten them when installed (again once it goes taught you want to only do one more quarter turn). Also buy some PTFE/Teflon tape to add to the threads before you put them in as this will make the seal more reliable (it's about £2 a roll so don't worry) Beesting (seem to be out of stock on both of these so e-mail them) Tank: http://www.beestingairsoft.com/product/guerrilla-air-myth-48ci-483000psi-tank/ Obviously bigger will hold more air but is bulkier. You can opt for 4500psi, but that gets a lot more expensive so I've picked you a 3000psi bottle Regulator: http://www.beestingairsoft.com/product/ninja-lpr-regulator-with-36-wide-bore-braided-line/ Just an LPR regulator for use with any tanks putting out under 1000 psi (which the one above will as the tank regulator included steps it down to that) Beesting do their own unbranded CQB Russian valves: http://www.beestingairsoft.com/product/beesting-stainless-steel-hpa-valves-kwaksc/ I'm sure they're great but I don't know of anyone that's used one so maybe do a quick Google Or Rap4 (in stock but slightly more expensive) Tank: http://www.rap4uk.com/Cheap-Quality-Paintball-Airsoft-Air-Tank-Guerrilla-p/ms800-1pi_1.htm Regulator: http://www.rap4uk.com/Ninja-LPR-Regulator-with-36-Wide-bore-braided-lin-p/ninja-lpr36.htm Bonus is they have CQB Russian valves: http://www.rap4uk.com/CQB-Russian-HPA-Adapter-KWA-brand-p/cqb-russian-kwa.htm I'd suggest shopping around, but that's what you kinda want. A tank of around 50cl or more and a regulator from a decent brand (frankly Ninja and Redline make the best ones). Hose is included with most regulators and has the QD fittings you need. Both Beesting and Rap4 do the different hose lengths. I've found 36" to be good and it's the 'standard' for most players.

Thankfully the Vector is easy, and it's the same answer: CQB Russian valves (the KWA ones). Buy one for each mag, add a small amount of PTFE tape or pneumatic sealant, screw in (only give an extra quarter turn when it feels like it's getting harder to screw in or you'll damage the threads) and you're done. The rig is the issue though. You'll need a tank, regulator and line. A smallish 3500 psi tank would be fine (maybe around 50cl) as you don't have many shots in each magazine. You're looking at maybe in the region of £200 when all said and done, with the regulator being the most expensive thing (even the Ninja LPR is £105). You may need to consider a Scuba tank if you're not close to a paintball or dive shop, or don't have a compressor on the site you attend. The only real obvious downside to an HPA tapped magazine on a GBBR like that is that you do need to swap the QD every time you reload. It maybe adds a few seconds and you can get quite quick at it. A small price for consistent shots and cheap refills I think. I can grab you some links if you like.

Wouldn't act fast enough, also you'd dry out your eyes and would keep trying to add that vapour back as you weep at what a poor choice you've made.

US.

Good luck. I'm still waiting for those Redline IGLs they said would be in stock 3 weeks ago, heh.

Oh and if you're looking for places to get them then Socom Tactical and The Grange stock all three.

Paste. Lasts longer (not the effects, but the actual amount of product you get is enough for more applications). Here's the last thread on this: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/27833-anti-fog/ Also something I've seen a lot of people do: Don't buff it too much or you won't leave that thin 'film' you want on the lenses.

Well, just don't be 'that guy' with the hi-cap maracas HPA setup. The EPMs are very nice and hold 150rds each, feels a lot better than having rattling magazines every time you shoot. Tapping can tricky depending on valve location. Keep the PSI at around 60 then creep it up to 80 (which is around where you need to be). Get a CQB Russian valve, depends on the brand as to which one you need.

It shouldn't really because it's not the output valve that's fully responsible for shutting off the gas - the reason you'd put a 150% hammer spring in is to be able to actually depress the output valve enough under higher pressures in Nuprol 3.0, 4.0, Guarder Powerful, HPA etc. That's why I'm wondering.

Wait, it wouldn't cycle with the higher tension hammer spring? That's curious.

WE and G&G being some decent examples of decent AEGs not necessarily meaning decent GBBRs (though some of the WE stuff is ok).

Yeh, you gotta be committed to your gun if you're going gas. Lots of maintenance on the older systems and magazines plus many of them requiring significant upgrading to get them functioning right. Then there's the issue of the winter and having to consider CO2 or an HPA tapped magazine for it to perform well. Also there's the cost of gas itself - propane is a cheaper option, but certainly lots of green gasses can get expensive. Personally I love them and haven't owned an AEG in years but I'd caution anyone thinking of getting into it all the same. They can be more expensive to run (not all of them, but as a rule of thumb) to begin with: If I were starting today I'd certainly go down the route of Tippmann (their gen 2 is coming out soon™) or GHK as those are the newest and most efficient systems out there. GHK in particular are very nice looking guns and their magazines are the best in the business right now. HPA is - I think - a better call if you have the money. The upfront costs are pretty astronomical for something with blow back (e.g. Escort or Daytona Gun) or even the rig just so you can HPA tap an existing GBBR, but getting a whole Scuba tank refilled for £3.50 is great. Not having the worry of winter looming is also good. Again though, cash is the limiting factor as it is with many things in airsoft. Spend as much as you're comfortable with, but I'd say set aside as much as £500 for a GBBR with the magazines, gas and all that.

WGC are having a clear out: http://www8.wgcshop.com/wgcadm/2015_clearance_sale/2015_780.html

Yup, you'll be fine. I'd consider the Fairy power spray first and about an hour of scrubbing - that'll get almost all of it off. Takes a long time, but it's worth it for the results - you could use wet and dry but that tends to be less effective though you'll get quicker results.

I agree, and that is basically my exact issue with the status quo regarding pyros though: There're very few safety measures in place and just because someone hasn't been seriously hurt so far and kicked up a big fuss doesn't mean they won't. As you say, it'll only take one insurer to get cold feet and the rest will follow suit.

One could easily say the same about the LDS.

Just do what The Young Ones did. Lowers the council tax.

Hey, he's not boasting about it. And he certainly hasn't got the sites he plays at clearly advertised on his profile.

That is a pretty good deal. The mark up in the UK is very high compared to the rest of Europe.

what the christ

Yup. You will need a defence though and it will be checked. AFAIK, the only one accepted by UK Border Force is a UKARA player number, and this must be tied to the address on the package and made clearly visible on the package. If you bring it in on your person then you will obviously need to clear that with the airline or ferry company you're using and also declare it at the border and have your defence ready. If it's 2-toned then the same rules apply but you don't need that defence - I've honestly never heard of anyone going through such hassle though and I imagine it's probably not worth it as you'd still have to declare it and probably be told by the airline that it can't be transported. Buy a 2-toned G&G or ICS or something. Given that you said you were looking for one in 2-tone, I'd imagine you don't have a UKARA number presently. My suggestion would be to get one because it's a huge hassle without one and importing certainly isn't possible. You can have one disassembled and sent to you, but again you need a valid defence to assemble it (i.e. you play airsoft, which I assume you do given the fact that you have all the camo). Final alternative is getting one second hand in the UK which may yield more results. Many sellers will accept site membership or receipts or whatever as a valid defence.

Er, on a serious note let's just remember that a valid defence isn't clarified but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful. Again, I've been without UKARA for going on two years now but I keep a copious record of my attendances just in case. If you're reading this in two years time and you've just started airsoft then firstly, well done for getting the search to work in IPB. Secondly, if airsoft isn't banned already then don't be naughty - have a defence. There - our disclaimer is done.

NOT THAT YOU'D EVER THINK OF DOING THAT

I mean technically it's still manufacturing an RIF I guess but who cares really. Just don't go boasting about it to anyone.

The tan is pretty cool against the OD too. Not sure if any companies are doing a repro of the new LLMs yet. I'm finishing up my M870 build which has been nothing but a pain. Still the cylinder to troubleshoot and lots of external bits like the sling mount and sling in the post, but had it mostly assembled anyway so put it together: Happy with the results so far.
