ive had a double eagle i sold and regretted even though it was for profit, got a tm, broke the stock off it. made a new one, broke the body, got given a broken double eagle to use as parts and fix it, getting to open and compare the internals, tbh the internals of the tm are no better than the double eagle, in fact the double eagle was cleaner... now saying that the externals of the tm were better, but for £100 difference they are not that much better and i wouldn't say they are any tougher. the accuracy seems to be pretty much the same an spread too. the only thing i would say is that the tm shells do feed a lot better(to the point i dont even carry the asg ones i got... also if youve never run a shotgun for long before dont waste a lot of money as many i find go for it and their arm is soon hanging off them as the spring power is more than they can cope with for a period of time. may as well go for the cheaper and see if you can stick it. and one more entry, i recently got a gfg, better externals than the double eagle for about the same money, the shells seem to be on par with the tm ones and shoots just as well as both. i have been considering one of the gas powered shotguns with the tank in the stock but ive heard of the tanks being leaky and a general pain in the arse(one of the members of a team i used to be on got one and we had a shotgun challenge trying to kill each other, which my springer easily won...)dont think ill go gas till an aa12 gets released, and even then the cost of thatll likely mean i wont be able to afford it. so dont go tm youll be wasting your money. this the only time you will see people not recommending tm

as a linked note im actually impressed with the usability of the mask even compared to my mesh one(that protects the ears) as i was worried that it would restrict the airflow too much making it harder to breath and wearing me out quicker, strangely it wasnt too bad and wasnt that uncomfortable as well as looking awesome(the links that connect the mask to the elastic could probably do with some tape to reduce the rub...)in fact id recommend it if i didnt want everyone running the same stuff as me;)

thanks, painted them myself;) (problem i had with the mask when it came it the bone parts sticking through, aka teeth, were the same colour as the flesh which had to be quickly rectified.... looks rather spiffing now even if i say so myself...

this is what i look like when i shave my beard off...

some awsome stuff guys. ill just link my photobucket account as i havent touched my models in 2 years and i have a lot... currently considering getting back into character painting as army paining isnt good for keeping you painting... http://s155.photobucket.com/user/generalhazard_album/library/models?sort=3&page=11

i feel awsome...

i used to work in a nerd shop that shut down last year. they tried the whole casual coffee bar thing beside the shop and it could ave worked but not enough was invested in it and it helped to drag the rest of the business down. they tried to have consoles etc for a while but it not only cost money, it cost extra money( commercial retail tv licence) and helped to distract people away from their hobbys back to console gaming and not there fore spending monies on cards and models etc... but if you do it tuck shop can do well for easy fast sell(so long as you have milk tea coffee coke and bars etc) tis amazing how much people will go through whilst they would think alot more about buying something useful...would be worth while to look up do any airsoft sites offer anything similar and how they make it work. have a clear advertised plan to pull people in on those nights. makes the difference believe me over we will see who comes and what they want to do. and a reason why they want to come to you and not do it from the comfort of their own home... if you ad people comming in to do demos of new stock/ their work(so local gun painters/ upgraders etc, new supplies) help to improve sales etc. if you can get the right to run a even have a warroom section to show your plans off get feed back etc. not that im a fan but bring your own drink lock in has proved quite effective a few times too combines with Halloween competitions etc just cause in retail a couple of sofas and a console will seem a bit waste of space if its not done right...

what id be interested to see(eventually as no new shop should try to do it straight away) is a mystery box/sale. if you look at black friday it will show you have us big retailers are able to use it to get rid of stock thats hard to shift. say after a year or two if you are able to look at your stock and think thats good but its not selling putting a decent sale on it whilst not making you money will release the capital back into your company to reinvest into products that will make money( no proint slashing profits on something you know will sell at a good price for you. if you look at some of the american ones youll see this. throw in the chance of getting something good and peeps go mad. after seeing a good sale i regret missing on a site last year has made me check up on it now and then to see if they do anything similar. looking at products increases the chances i will buy and improves your hits etc. also look at how face book pages do giveaways to boost their names... but where id start is your rebranding. good name restyle, get patches made to give away to make your name, get onboard to make your name ...(sponsor a local site/make sure there is a local site) run some events well that make you stand out, sale stalls at such events etc( i know a couple of start out airsoft buisness guys selling out of their boot at sites they play at, fair play will come into this if you do it, you want a good rep on and off the feild)

the site i go to has a facebook page and i can find out via it when big events are on(games every sat, sometimes weed nights/sundays) we have a team page to share our airsoft pics( partially to avoid questions about being in the paramilitary)we have a team page for team discussion to organise our own players to get out and play. i use this site to learn and to find out things that i think ill likel not find out from local airsofters. better to find out some things from a range of players whove had experiences with the things im looking to know about

yup stitch me up, quick turn around, not bad price for low quantities, ours came out well

having broke, dissembed and rebuilt my tm super 90 id advise against it. awkward as. and not much you can really do, other than spring(which will make pumping harder and the parts may not take the strain, i shattered mine as standard...) there was something i read about the pistol head things. its probably in this link about dissembly... regardless let us know how you get on.... http://www.airsoftretreat.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=342

well apparently our tems theme is zombies( i tried for zombie clowns but they wernt fussed... also fount this and whos not tempted...(out of stock though...) http://www.morphsuits.co.uk/star-wars-storm-trooper-deluxe-costume

right so halloween is coming upand whilst i dont care for Halloween i dont mind dressing up to scare peeps. one of my team mentioned it so i may well give it a go. i do have most of a rorschach costume somewhere but am also thinking evil clown... but anyway if anyone has inspiration from their old load outs etc please share.

i use one of the rubber bayonets as it came with a scabbard which looks better. the cold steel knife has that as a disadvantage against it and that its hard as. one of my fellow airsofters uses a cold steel axe and ive been told its been banned after someone got a rap across the knuckles with it... i might be getting something new for halloween though, decisions...

yea that detach button in the aug is a trap for anyone who dosnt realise / thinks its safety or somesuch. must have been something similar to the previous owner of mine, he lost the spring out of his(that keeps the button on...) anywho you do occasionally find full aug front ends on ebay. just search aug airsoft... might get lucky. probably £30 ish if you are lucky... in fact there's 2 outer barrels on right now....

if aiming down the sights is a problem with mesh, you can always get a raiser, rarely causes a problem for me(only when im near an obstacle im trying to shoot over and the height difference does put me off. at range its fine otherwise...

mesh lower face mask does the job for a decent price, plenty of ventilation, bend to fit face, no problems with talking or sound absorption... also for gum shields to be effective they need to be on both lower and upper teeth. but hopefully someone who has had them a while will comment...

our sites rental guns are the jg g36c and the g+g m4 raiders. both are grand for repairs and upgrades and the g36s take the abuse better than the m4s though the m4s shoot better...

never had problems from playing in the rain. infact it seems to make most of the douche bags stay away. but when it gets really heavy it is a nightmare. the worst ive played in yet is hail, cant tell whats a bb and whats hail....(i just hid under my trench coat...)

yea hes fine buying down south. not sure they like guys walking about with replica guns in public anymore than we do though. i would both have something to transport them to the even it(gun case etc) and have a site membership in case questioned by the guard(if you are serious about airsoft and dont want potential problems do both of these anyway) it would also probably be a good idea to contact the convention peoples to make sure they are fine with it etc...(they might need to get permission from the guard for replica weapons in public) as for the socom, you could also just get the asg one and a separate lam unit cheaper...

i use one of the utg ambidextrous ones and even after only a few uses ive to say im impressed. theres a plastic rod thing in it that makes it so different to the other material ones ive used and only slightly harder draw than the plastic ones i had and broke.... and i wear it on my right hip on my shotgun shell belt... this one btw http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201086761814?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

i had 2 springer pistols, some galaxy thing that actually has a very strong spring and shoots well even without a hop(ive used it in airsoft and gotten kills... and another thats like a glock but lower powered than the galaxy one despite having mag lock etc... just gave it away, lol... think i still managed to get a couple of kills with that too... my first reall airsoft gun was my king arms 1928 Chicago Thompson typewriter machine gun... what can i say im a classy guy...

i run both(most shotguns really are very similar) and yes i run both at the same time. and yea start with the combatmachine. when you get good the shotty will be more fun but the aeg is necessary for doing well as you learn. and yea research where you buy from in the http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/forum/10-places-to-buy/ page. theres a reason combat machines are sold our nearly everywhere....

the secret is not to buy velcro, search hook and loop etc as velcro is the original copyrighted specific company one which is more expensive.... think i read that somewhere one here....
