Looks like I won't be getting one despite my intentions - Baton, who rebrand KJW pistols, particularly CO2 models, now 'own' the license for Glock in Japan - which ultimately means Gen 5 MOS will cease to be made.

Sig air are licensed replicas, so the serial number should be present, as per their own website.

Given how diabolical the TLSFX one can be (Had a flying mortar'ed flashbang hit me in the head at one site in England), I definitely wouldn't be wanting to be downrange of a homebrew one. Word of mouth is still fairly prevalent, and all the locals dogpiling (which by the way, is now a criminal offence under the Online Safety Bill 2023) on a negative review just confirms that the site is best avoided.

Seems to have followed the upper side of your suggestion now.

Where did you buy it from? Confusingly there are multiple versions of the Double Eagle one, but EMG also released one under the CYMA Gas System, which adds further confusion. Could you take a picture of the inside of the trigger group in the lower receiver? CGS is fairly proprietary, and if it doesn't have the ZET plate inside, it's definitely a CGS. Edit: Found it, PB seems to have their own version for reasons only known to them. It's a newer gen than the ones that popped up last year, but they've changed the mag and stock. So accounting for the 3 different generations that are already on the market, plus any localisation permutations, there is at least 12 different versions worldwide of the EMG/DE N4.

Spotted in the Scottish Airsoft Community FB by a friend, but it was too good to not pass on (i got banned whilst trying to join a while back, so i cannot link it) That L85 best be gold plated.

Also opted for the Jaeger one for my DE N4 with GM nozzle, after a few friends were having issues with the FEDA one (piss poor QC on the plastic bit as well as the supposedly loctited screw working itself loose regularly) - it also helped that the Jaeger one is 2/3rds the price of the vaunted FEDA. Dropped it in and didn't even need to touch the adjustment screw to end up in the right range - 120PSI with a 345mm inner barrel came out at 1.1J on a 0.32g.

Went and tried out Players of War today, as its actually easier for me to get to than S8. Entrance was a bit difficult to spot from one direction, but once in its got a decent proper hard standing with no dubious drops or quagmires to get stuck in. Safezone is well cordoned with what must be close to 20ft high netting to prevent stray fliers entering it. Canteen was a nice surprise for me, but alas I'm on restricted diet, so kind of moot point. Sign in process for a first timer was nice and clear with segregated sections for sign in, the shop and chrono (other sites could really take note on this bit). Game areas are similar vein to S8 (Only so much you can do with a planned forest after all) but a little less treacherous in places. Lots of multitiered cover, which is especially important for vertically challenged folk like myself. Once I got my bearings, the games were pretty good and there wasn't any point where I was dreading a long slog back to a spawn. Critically the laying down the law on things in the safety brief, I saw no dubious play all day - which is a rarity these days - certainly wasn't any teflon warriors floating about. It's also the first site in a while where those with sniper rifles were actually consistently observing MED's well - probably because they don't let just anyone rock up with one immediately on day one, which was absolutely fantastic. Definitely a site i'll be headed back to, as the vibe in general was excellent, and balancing of teams was done at sign in, so there wasn't any clique-y grouping up BS at the start of the day.

Christ on a bike. Almost as much as the vaunted VFC, but I suppose it'll probably work a little longer.

Newly acquired DE N4. Immediately replaced the nozzle with a GM 3.5 (with DE piston head) so I could fit the Jaeger NPAS. Barrel swapped for a Crazy Jet 345mm, because I couldn't find a 350 in any reasonable timeframe - Silverback GBB 60 Degree and Titan Nub for the hop. Paraphenalia on the externals are Irregular Designs inspired cheek riser, Vector Maverick Gen III on a clone unity micro mount, PTS Dead Air Sandman-K (tracer type), Magpul AFG and an M300 clone. SP Systems HPA adapter, which miraculously didn't need the router changed, despite it being a T8 platform one.

Last few examples that have sold have all been for around the £250 mark with a single mag, so probably around £300-330 would be a reasonable ball park.

OK - drink the koolaid if you like.

The only real effect of barrel length is volume relative to the volume of whatever is providing the propulsion. The barrel length is ultimately irrelevant otherwise.

Yes. They use OEMs to manufacture the items, then the companies get them branded for their own products independently. Neither make anything themselves specifically. Hence, they're in the same manufacturing location, because they're the same product from the same OEM. And this means that warhead *is* a rebrand regardless of any juxtapositioning. Easiest example of this in recent times is Nuprol. They don't make anything themselves either.

Chaoli and KO's manufacturing are in virtually identical locations in China, not exactly rocket science to figure that one out.

Warheads are the rebrand. Despite all their blustering, they don't make them.

Acetech Bifrost is 32mm OD - will fit easily.

Got them for £85 last year from Land Warrior - fairly sure PB was also selling them cheap as well.

That EBR is one I coveted greatly 😅

'BNIB' Mags which were muddy from them about a decade ago, never touched them again, unless they were the only option.

Now with the ready availability of 3D Printed impacts that run off cap gun pellets, these are hard sell. I can have reliable one shot impacts for less than £5 a pop. They have to price it low, as otherwise they can't realistically compete any more. 92g in weight and 48 caps for £2.99.

EdGI.

Because the 50 degree is for sub 1.49J, as UK is hard limit of 1.3J, there is no need for anything more. It's like RATech putting 70-80 degree as their default, because in taiwan, 2J is perfectly acceptable for a GBB.

Crazy Jet is just pissing money into the wind, its proposed benefits are complete and utter bollocks. If you're using it in UK limits, 50 to 60 degree bucking from Silverback are lasting me approximately 10k bb's a go, and they're hopping 0.4's easily.
