  1. Yo welcome back

     

    That rig will probably work fine. I've had this since 2018 and have been using it every now and then https://www.bespokeairsoft.co.uk/big-foot-d3crm-chest-rig-vest-with-three-magazine-pouch-black

     

    I also do have the M904g you are looking at and it's in shambles atm because of modding. The internals are slightly offspec from the usual m4 stuff so i've been having a nightmare trying to get a perun to work in it. The hop is somewhat propietary from being different in size and position. Also broken a few things in the gearbox from trying to increase power. Basically, it works decent but only if you don't plan on touching it inside.

     

    G&G combat machines are still great starter guns to this day, and still made better than those DE rifles. I have the raider 2.0 and I still think that's a better rifle. Honestly, anything 10 years ago is still great today, it's all about slinging pellets to a range afterall.

     

    The new cyma platinum series have been greatly received too, though i'd not tried one so can't validate that. But you know cyma, still rock solid mid tier as per usual.

     

    There have also been a surge of copy-and-paste companies that just make budget M4s, as if we don't have an abundance of them already. I'd just say avoid all them them.

  2. Just chiming in my experience with handling this gun: it doesn't taking modding very well. The plastic piston head will break if you put anything more than a m110 in it and the gearbox is a bit swiss cheese as it is concerningly easy to file down. The hop unit is also somewhat propietary as the bb tube is placed a bit closer to the gearbox compared to other aftermarket units which can create feeding and fps issues. Currently, i'm havng issues with getting a perun to work in it (because precock), likely due to the sensor positioning as the screw holes are slightly off spec, and you also have to file down a circular screw holder because it gets in the way. The piston is not resetting in the same position every time, leading to feeding issues, firing a BB once every 3/4 shots which is unuseable.

     

    All in all, it's good for the price and it performs well but only if you don't mess with the gearbox as it's really only rated for what it can already handle.

  3. Id say get your foot measured from some experts at mountain ware stores and they'll probably recommend something useful. I have rather small and thin feet for my height and they recommended the scarpa rush trek gtx which fits so much better than the heavy army boots I used to use. Been using those since without a bother.

  4. I love sniping but for a different reason to most people. For me, the point of getting a sniper rifle is simply to outrange AEGs. I play the exact same aggressive, run-amok style as I would with an AEG but further away. It's fun because you get people trying to duel you 50m away and watch as their BBs drop before your feet, and you can still accurately pick them out no problem. But of course, stealth can be a fun option too.

     

    Contrary to what everyone says, i'd recommend getting a "shoot-good-out-da-box" sniper rifle because not wasting time and effort on fiddling about with compatability parts is valuable, especially with the hop which can take forever to get right if you don't have a personal range (waiting every two weeks to test once on a game day, and have it not work as predicted is painful). The least expensive option seems to be the (yes really) novvy ssg stuff, then followed by the TAC41P at £372 from firesupport. Then everyone seems to praise the steyr scout at £400. At £400+ there's the SRS and the new B&T SPR300 which I plan to get a hold of soon. Probably some more out there.

     

    But, it is up to you.

  5. Ive used a lot 1911s in the past. Pretty much the best options are TM or KJW co2.

     

    I don't know if they're still around but secutor had some really nice co2 1911s called the rudis. they took KJWs co2 1911s, gave them a better coating and some cool cuts. I had the both the rudis II and magna (RMR) and they were great pistols until I sold them for a change.

     

    KWC models are "ok". They look and sound cool, shoot ok, but their build quality is crap. Bad tolerances, insane slide gaps and rattle, and co2 mags close their seal often. 

     

    ICS have their PRS korth or BLE vulture as it is called now. Takes 1911 style mags, probably co2 ones too because of the enlraged magwell. the PRS korth was dog doodoo through and through. The ble vulture seems to be an improved version but I have not played with that one so I cannot say.

     

    King arms made 1911s in the past with their predator series which have room for co2 mags. Had one, wasn't good, never saw one again.

     

    VFC have their 1911 kimber but doesn't seem to be well received...

  6. Saw this in production a while ago (a year?) and recently seen videos of testing: 

     

    And i've always thought, is there a point to this thing? Market is already saturated with 1911s, plus it uses the skinny gas mags and not co2 which will struggle in performance. Sure it's nice n steel but I can't imagine seeing these being anywhere not a display shelf.

    No budget, will be dead in 20 years lol 

    Haha, just imagine being born now and living to 20 again, still quite a fairly long time.

     

    Regarding good cqb rifles, the asg scorpion evo is quite universally liked. It works well at long range too. In airsoft, longer barrel doesn't equal longer range, so go ham.

  8. The main issue with 33g stocks are that 33g co2 capsules are exorbitantly expensive. 12g is roughly 30-50p depending if you buy bulk or not. 33g cost £8-10 individually and it's very hard to get them in bulk. Let's say 3x 12g capsules = 1 33g capsule. It's still around 6x the cost (10/1.5) which is insane. Not very economical to run and hard to get a hold of. Haven't seen anyone use them at all.

    Does anyone know if the Double Eagle M66 Pro 700 any good out of the box? I haven't been able to find much forum chatter about these. Saying that I imagine it'll be a tough job finding a better shooter than an SRS. 

    No. There's a review out there with pictures in french where the internals are not m24 compatible as they said. It's a 45 degree proprietary firing system. 

     

    It looks cool af and I still want one. But for practicality, best avoid unless you can make custom parts yourself.

    This is also relevant to my interests, but I've seen the horror stories about the cylinder / cocking lever pins giving up the struggle on day one.  Yes, these are very expensive toys, but they shouldn't need rebuilding out of the box.

    The as03 fixes that. But then it introduces another problem of porting the cylinder so that your output is thoroughly fixed at 1.5j ish. Can be fixed with tape but it's ugly. 

     

    Even if you fix that, the bolt pull is still the most unwieldly thing ever.
