I had electrolytes tabs in 3 bottles and dehydration mix in the final one. I drink a lot anyway, as my medication mountain dehydrates me faster as a baseline, but once I reached the maximum daily intake on both the electrolytes (6 doses, 2 per bottle) and dehydration mix (1 dose), I called it quits.

Went to S8 for the first time in a long time today - played 2 games in the morning, then the first game in the afternoon on yellow team. Took the WE M4 and the DE N4 with me, the former I was running on HPA, the latter my new-ish-ly acquired pile of GM PMags. With the former, I was running a positively stupid arrangement with near enough half a kilo of moving mass (182g buffer and 275g steel BCG), so stealthy wasn't an option, as I could be heard from a significant distance. First game was attack/defend with swapping sides at midway, felt I did pretty well in the attacking component of that, managed to get within breathing distance of the base a few times. Defending on the second half, was hit/respawn/hit and out in the first 5 minutes, which was a little bit disappointing but we just got pinned too quickly on that. 2nd was some description of KOTH with tickets to collect off each player (starting with 3) and a 60 second respawn timer - spent the first 5-10 minutes stuck behind a barrier with enemies at pretty much every angle, so probably only shot the same 10 guys over and over, but at one point had accumulated something in the region of 20 tickets, before spending the remainder of the game pinned in a upturned tree stump hole and subsequently losing all but my original 3 tickets. Game I played in the afternoon is basically my worse nightmare of a game, a lane with minimal structured cover and an object (beer barrel in this case) to carry to the defenders end of the road. Went home after that one, purely because i'd depleted the 8L of drink I brought with me, lost almost entirely to sweating, and it was only getting warmer. All in all, for what i played of it, it was a good day.

Just bought another RA-Tech WE M4 Steel BCG as I managed to kill my existing one last weekend - so despite certain people's assumptions, they're not invincible. I was nearly 100k bb's into it though so it certainly lasts a while. Gas key is the bit that broke, but without it, can't use it.

Those are pointless for most people, as most people wanting heavy weight beebs will be playing at outdoor sites which will mandate bio's.

As said by Lozart, it's Redux and its topping out at 0.45 now.

Nope.

https://kicbbgun.com.tw/en/pro_05_02.php?id=26855&category=188 based on my last few rifle orders, EMS is about $60USD, so you'd have it shipped for £389.57 - then you just pay ~18-20% at customs on top + £12 for parcelfarce handling

Added bonus, the trigger mech is compatible with the WE G3, so you can actually get a G3 GBBR with 3rd burst.

Purple is just the bog standard colour of CGS OEM routers (e.g. https://highpressureairsoft.co.uk/products/cgs-enhanced-tm-m4-mws-gas-route-seal-set-70-degree - HPA UK on the misinformation train in that description though until the start of the last sentence, its all bollocks), Laylax have nothing to do with it.

Not even worth getting the DE Stanags with the CGS, because the routers on CGS mags sit about 1.5mm taller, which means getting seal is near impossible - you can't install CGS routers on the DE mags either, as the CGS ones are fractionally larger footprint, so whilst you can install MWS routers in CGS mags, the other way doesn't work.

Humbrol No 29 Dark Brown is also a near match to Magpul FDE and very easily obtainable as a spray in the UK as a last resort (available on Amazon), you will almost certainly need to clear coat that though (suggest a satin coat).

A two-stage trigger has two distinct phases of travel before firing. The first stage involves a longer, lighter pull to take up the slack. The second stage is a shorter, heavier pull that initiates the firing sequence. In theory this unit would allow the MWS to have the one thing this platform lacks in general, which is a crisp and precise trigger. However, in practice this particular unit is frought with problems where it is entirely possible in normal operation for the ZET plate to be bounced out of place and jam the BCG. It's firmly in the do not buy list until the manufacturer addresses the issue. If you desperately want a 2 stage trigger, Guns Modify offer one, but its very spendy.

Watching progress bar percentages that still aren't yet finished even now.

The only companies that sold it were Odin Tactical and Wolf Armouries. The former has only got white in stock and the latter doesn't exist any more.

Assuming the cost increase is supposedly to cover additional insurance, unfortunately for this guy, can't be insured above base rate because its a RIF. Also @Tackle he's selling it for his brother, wouldn't that technically be contravening rule 6 of the forum specific classified rules, as he doesn't own it and is selling it on behalf of someone else.

Yup. Nozzles are a consumable part for a reason - if it doesn't yield in a misalignment, other more expensive bits usually pay the price.

RATech do a polymer one which is decent now (i'm some 18 months and over 50k bb's with HPA on it now without a failure), but the collective mind on HRC for WE, we're 99% sure the moulding is done by a 3rd party OEM that isn't allergic to micrometers.

The aluminium one? As that is renowned as a steer clear part, as it's special power is chopping bb's.

You could buy it as individual parts, wasn't advisable to, but you could. (MLEMart did it as individual bits)

Oh look, its Andreyy again, what a surprise.

More spending abound: 2x Stanley Fat Max waterproof deep organisers - currently have a massive pile of spares dotted around in jiffy bags, spare ikea lunchboxes and even a fishing tacklebox, Toolstation had a deal on 2 for £32 of the normally significantly more expensive waterproof ones, so nabbed that. Guarder Recoil Buffer - because WE M4 is getting pretty severe bolt bounce and is causing misfeeding galore, shifting weights should fix that (hopefully) Silverback GBB Bucking 4 pack - wasn't sure what hardness to choose for the Scar now it's semi locked and intending to run it at 1.8J, so bought the 1 of each option.

Because everyone on HRC raves about them, I have bought: Waldo Dynamics MWS Hop adjuster arm and a pack of the Ion MWS return springs. Omega nub was a reasonable stop gap, but it doesn't work briliiantly, and the stock DE return springs are just poo.
