If we didn't play every time there was a bit of rain, you wouldn't play for about 90% of the year up here.

Hi,
When I go prone with my Krytac the magazines are a bit too high and the gun basically rests on the mags.
Do you have any recommendations for low profile M4 mags? I’ve seen the EPM-1 S but Negative Airsoft doesn’t rate them because of their strong spring (he recommends the EPM but there is no low profile version of it).
I keep seeing negative airsoft referenced, but his reviews seem to be spouting a colossal amount of shit at the best of times. Get one, try it to see if it works for your use case - don't take a person spouting crap on the internet at face value.

RGJ back in the day😁
Swear everybody of a certain era is RGJ in airsoft circles 👀

Not exactly a steal - £500 in total new if you used the most expensive retailers in UK & Ireland, these things are being sold off left, right and centre ffs. At best £250, £330 is a few steps into lalaland if not doing posting and fees included (which is not)

What do we reckon, fake as fuck ?, if so, definitely a Macks contender🤔
It is a fake, look at the R, it has rounded corners, legit have hard, square corners.
Probably why the other side isn't shown at all, as all the repro's and fakes mess up the 5 and make it look like an S.

It's essentially a stock WE with a Bodykit attached - If you're lucky you might get someone to pay 55% of cost, so you'd be looking at about £430 for the lot on that basis.
But it may also sit for months.
I would sell it with 4 mags that are all leak free and sell the other mags independently, as 4 is enough to potentially skirmish with, but also not artificially inflate the price.

Slowly getting to how I want it, got the FTC mount on order, probably going to cheapskate on a repro chinese G43 for the moment, and get the Vortex Micro3X down the line when I can justify dropping £300 on a magnifier, to match with the Vortex Crossfire.

OK - Exfog is a doddle to set up. The XT's come with the little magnet hose things, push the adapter through a hole in the seal vents (desert locust for me), point at the lens and you're golden - don't need to make any destructive holes or anything.
If you have active headsets, you are going to hear every little bit of it functioning, but its easy enough to switch off when you don't need it.
The vent is on the bottom of the unit and the hose adapter actually creates an intake space, so unless you're using a really restricting pouch it will have plenty of space.
I got the XT without the headband for ~£50 from Specs4sports, which I think makes it about £10 cheaper than the Novshit. I could feel the air even on the lowest setting, and the full power burst mode is mental.

The Novritsch ones are really good - the magnetic link attachment works perfectly - so much so, most of the time, the act of putting the helmet on is enough to link it up to the goggles. The hole that it requires you punch in the frame of the goggles is rather small - I'd say half way between a Skittle and a Smartie! That said, I used it with the pyramex goggles that have a soft rubber frame - I presume it would also work with goggles that have a hard plastic frame, but it might require a bit more attention, and maybe a bit of glue.
Novshit one has a crappy plastic box that can be shattered with a direct hit from a 1.7J BB though, which was what turned me off it, rather than having to punch the hole.

Maybe but it looks goofy.I prefer helmet over anything else but you can set it up as you please. Boonie, baseball cap or even Dye.
This is how I prefer to run it. You can buy that velcro pouch separately. Also, it's worth to mention that Exfog came out with a new version (XT) not long ago so you'd be better to buy that one. Mine is "first gen".
Yup XT is what i have arriving today, from reading the promotional guff again, it looks like it also has magnetic attachments now as well, except it doesn't look like it needs to butcher the recipient goggles in the process.

I've found a pair of goggles that I REALLY like, however they will definitely fog up. The Novritsch Antifog unit requires you to cut a section out the top of the goggles. How does the ExFog attach?
I can tell you soon, as I've got one on order due to arrive this week 😅

But Landan is in a different country to us... it's a long way to get an olympic BMW.
There was a 911 992 GT3 at 130k at Porsche Perth just before Christmas, the first time one has been below list price for nearly 2 years, and its because the entire UK car market is affected by a 5+ percent downturn in values across the board - What happens in London affects the entire UK on residuals.

Or £29.95 and free postage for a new one on EBay.
I don't know why these have become a thing regardless, Li-Ion are crap for high current requirements. Odds on he overpaid at LWA and is trying to sell for paid price 👀

But 180m of 5mm sisal is £37. I wonder how many airsofters could tell the difference, either while wearing it, or at 5m.
Swings and roundabouts - These were not ever intended for airsofters, but its not a dreamer, because its something that given the right market, is not taking the piss.
Sisal won't last 10+ years if looked after, properly spun Jute will.

am wondering if there’s such a thing as a Bluetooth ptt module to use them with my Boafeng UV-5R?
Yes, but they are really, really expensive.

I may be missing something here, but this ghillie had better be giving Harry Potter level invisibility cloak for that money.
Natural fibre is an absolute dick to work with preparing etc, so that is why it costs so much. A 200m spool of properly produced Jute at 4/5mm diameter can be upwards of £400 on its own, before anything has been done with it.
Basically, its monstrously overkill for airsoft, but then some donkeys run around with real plates in so..

Yup it was positively space age compared to the death by trigger pulls 'n' beeps process of other programmable units of the time.

Hi guys, I was studying for 2 years in the UK uni and bought 3 ages and a pistol and now, when my uni is about to be finished, I’m thinking of moving them back home. Are there any tips and tricks? Will the plane be easier or postage is easier? Thanks in advance. ( there are no direct flights to Russia from UK, only connection via Istanbul)
Going through Istanbul, anything other than shipping it internationally, probably not a chance in hell - its nigh on impossible to properly document them to meet the Turkish requirements for importing firearm replicas, even those in transit to elsewhere.

Big thanks for the link that site has every little part and was never showing on Google so I'd never have known it. I've got a shopping cart going and they do have the main seals I'm now just hesitant to pay the £25 shipping incase theirs other bits and parts that will prematurely fail and I'd have to pay the shipping again. I know there's quite a few vulnerable parts on we m4's
As they’re considered a consumable - get a few of the newer Ratech magnetic NPAS plastic nozzles (aluminium are prime grade wank in UK weather, cool down too severe) -
UK sellers are really, really unlikely to have most of those in stock, and definitely won't have the main seal in stock - https://www.kyairsoft.com/ is go to for all parts WE.

Baffles do exist if you have access to a 3d printer, but they only seem to be noticeable in difference on things either HPA engine or spring based. Better off with foam overall though.

I was part of the commissioning batch but mine is counter sunk to make my 14.5" barrel appear to be 13.7"
Ah nice. I'm inclined to have a go at printing the one that is a fully functional unit first (Flash hider, suppressor and heat shield as separate components that can be assembled as on the real one), as the threaded insert bit does seem a little bit meh on those.

Normal/common airsoft zamak 'pot metal' is an alloy with aluminium in so of course the waters remain muddy as ever in this game, I've seen way too many product descriptions say aluminium alloy when the gun is clearly mostly zinc, but the scales don't lie so it'll be easy to tell.
The Guarder extended Glock mags are quoted at 210g but they're £85 from Fire-Support, whereas these mags are up for pre-orders right now and LWA is doing a 3 pack for £115. If they're actually made from a decent aluminium and are in the region of the weight of the Guarders then £38.30 per mag is a crazy bargain. Makes the entire notion of running a GBB SMG primary look totally different to just about anything else out there that I know of, purely based on the weight/price of the mags. I could honestly see other guns springing up to specifically use these mags even though there's already quite a few out there that take TM/VFC Glock mags.
So, after a chat with UK distributor -
The OEM is KWA, not VFC - the VFC photo circulating was fake, created by them for a giggle, knowing full well how the rumour mill likes to go to the races with things like that.
The mags are made using 3D Printing, so given the aluminium, this implies DMLS - they're somewhere between half to two thirds the weight of the original KWA Vector GBB mags.

Oh hello, now that's a name I recognise from when I was back in the muff 10ish years ago.
