sniper one is brilliant my recomendations :- Generation kill - Evan write - US marines one bullet away - Nathaniel fick - US marines (parts of generation kill happen in this) danger close - stuart tootal - UK zero six bravo - Daimen lewis - UK firestrike 7/9 - Paul 'Bommer' Grahame and Damien Lewis - UK - Paul is a JTAC - epic story Apache dawn - Damien lewis - UK Apache - ed macy - UK hellfire - ed macy (follow up to apache, more his personel life story) - UK i have too many books to list lol EDIT :- i have to add "to the last round" by andrew salmon - epic account of the British stand on the imjin river in the Korean war

sorry about the size, my first AK CM.028b

*semi skirmish update* so i had it with me last Sunday, and while i did want to run with it i discovered a minor problem, which prevented me from using it. basically it was over hopping with 0.25's ... like crazy over hopping. And unfortunately for me i forgot my bottle of 0.3's ... so i just ran with my work horse (G18c AEP) that said i need a holster ... and i would like a silencer which isn't a barrel extension (i want the silencer cool looks, with out the high/hot/insane FPS) i am going to do some more testing, maybe strip it down and have a look at the hop arrangement etc . On a plus note i know the hop works ... EDIT :- so i just tried to strip it down to have a look at the hop etc .... and there lies my first problem, you see on ASG webby, there is a great exploded drawing of the gun, and according to that drawing the outer barrel is held on by a screw that goes through the hop assembly and nips on the opposite side of the outer barrel .... only there isn't, it looks like a pin to me, and i could not get it to move not to be put off or any thing, by removing the fake spring loaded cartridge eject port cover, you can see the metal top of the hop arm .. applying a small amount of pressure can and will cause the arm to bent slightly ... need to do some testing but it looks alot better now

this happed only last sunday ... considering wearing a helmet myself now not me in the video ... but ouch!

that fitting kinda looks like some we use at work, something similar to >>> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draper-1-4-BSP-Female-PCL-Euro-Air-Tools-Fitting-Coupling-Adaptor-54419-/360863256616?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5405205028 with a 6mm to 1/4 straight fitting on the end i would need a closer pic to be 100% sure though

if you read back a page or 2, i had already email them before i placed any order, and when placing my order i spent along time playing "hunt the flipping comment box". also why did they reply at 07:33 to my first email (regarding spring change). in the end, its done and its tough poop on my part TL:DR here is the time line :- 2014-10-23 23:10 i asked taiwangun if i purchased XXX gun and a spring at the same time would they change it as the gun is too hot atm 2014-10-24 07:33 taiwangun replied to just add to comments box what fps i needed and they would change it (strange they replied so early in the day to this email) 2014-10-24 15:02 after only just finishing placing my order and not seeing a comments box i email taiwangun regarding the order and requesting the spring change etc 2014-10-25 08:33 from taiwangun "Please be advised that the processing an order XXX has been launched. Now you can’t make changes in order." 2014-10-25 10:30 from taiwangun "Please be advised that the order XXX has been changed to Completed." 2014-10-25 10:30 from taiwangun same email but with tracking number 2014-10-25 10:30 from taiwangun email reply to my email on 24th "Unfortunately order has been send already" 2014-10-27 15:04 from ups "notify you that the electronic shipment information below has been transmitted to UPS" acording to UPS's webby item was collected at 12:31 earlier that day

dont get me wrong, i know from the past how quick they do ship stuff etc. what gets me, is straight after i placed the order i emailed them (it was in the evening that i placed the order so i know no one was there etc)... they then ignored my email until after they claimed to have dispatched the item ... which sucks and is tough poop for me as i will now have to open the gear box potentially invalidating the warranty (or that's how i read the warranty etc). Not that i think ill need the warranty, its just a piece of mind thing tbh.

forgot to add this, i got an email back from them stating that they dispatch the good immediately! to be very competitive and efficient etc which according to taiwangun was Saturday 10:30am, and they could not change anything now!! ..... What i found out from UPS, is that it wasn't picked up until 12am Monday ...... they could have easily done the spring change on Saturday or Monday morning oooh well i live and learn

i should add that my bearings were 6mm (worst size ever ... only bearing a 8mm box as the loads are too much) guarder bearings

arrr i seee

don't forget about osprey pouches on ebay

wooohooo thanks russ

Lonex M100 spring (for l85 ) element LLM01

when i had my old TM mp5k bearing'ed (crappy 6mm gearbox tbh), it was the loaded side if the spur gear which failed. i am now running olite bearings/bushings in it now.

bugger just ordered an element llm01, gunna see how that looks (probably just fit it to my l85 when i daniel defense rail it)

Well on sunday i got a lonex m100 spring, just fitted it and out of 20 shots, the lowest is 289fps , average is 310-325fps , and i had 2 at 404fps That's with zero hop dialed in, think i need to stick a couple of mags through it to bed everything in

dont forget G&G bb's, there supposed to be good, and the little bag of them i got with my guns ... i had no issues what so ever ... but i have not seen them for sale in many places ... and i buy blasters by the box load

forgive me for saying, but you sound really new to airsoft, if so i cannot believe no one has mention this yet, have a look here >>> http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/ great thread, loads of advice etc if you not new, my bad

+1 to blasters in the 0.25 variety ... never had a jam from them, and they seem really accurate and consistent to me. other brands used, zero one (2 jams in 1 bag), and some really cheap ones i got off ebay (not used on my main gun, mainly my mp5k and a claymore. 1 jam out of 2 bags used so far)

i never saw that option that said i emailed them straight away ....

They Lied! When i placed the order there was NO comment box what so ever! so i emailed them straight away :- No reply ..... This morning at 08:30 i got :- then at 10:30 i got :- at exactly the same time i received another email :- really disappointed by this!

order placed ....

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SP85 spring arrived ... fitted ..... 222fps on 0.25's WTF!!! the only think i can assume is that the spring i thought was a SP100 isnt

so todays stuff:- another ris raiser ... i will get this scope to sit right on my l85 guarder SP85 spring .... i will get this dam l85 under 350fps!!! think i am starting to notice a trend in my spending
