Trust me, a LiPo charger will be cheaper than THAT!

It's an M4. Just because they called it a cm16 doesn't mean it's an m16 I'm afraid.

Playing it on PC (got it for free with my gfx card). I'm liking it so far.

Well that's ok then because that is not an M16.

If you're happy with hicaps stick with the G&G mags, they're fine but the mids have been a bit sketchy. The blowback is just a rattly flappy plate on the gearbox which makes a noise but if you ever need a new gearbox (say...when the front cracks off) then you either buy a standard gearbox and lose the flappy clacky bit or pay through the nose for a new G&G box. Why though are you "trying to avoid LiPo as much as possible"? They're not inherently dangerous as half the internet seems to want people to think and if you stick to 7.4v they won't lunch your gears or trigger contacts terribly quickly either.

Get the M14 and a barrel clamp mount for a torch (a proper one not your Laura Ashley feature piece).

Oh, the irony....

I have the L/XL version of the FMA one. It's snug with the pads in but it fits me OK. Just how big is your head?

I thought I was a pedantic sod. They're polished to a higher surface finish. As to whether or not they are different internally, I couldn't say.

True. It's worth doing regardless to improve the gearbox and extend its life!

You wouldn't lose that much though (unless he screws it up completely).

Higher quality.

Well....that's given me an awkward Henman.

Emerson Sidewinder flashlight, Pentagon Artaxes jacket (in wolf grey obvs), G&P QD suppressor to turn into a tracer for my M14 (cos it's not like it's long enough already or anything). FMA PEQ15/LA5, XTR rail covers and hand stop, MOE vert grip and (if it ever turns up) an SRS sight to do my Steve McGarrett MK18 (just go to justify buying the base rifle now).

The goggles themselves don't come like that usually. You can buy the swivel clips and attach them yourself though.

Bio blasters.

Blaster devils are good and that's a reasonable price.

Seriously - will the pair of you wind your necks in? The one thing that annoys me more than ANYTHING is the manly macho bullshit posturing that goes on online sometimes. If a post about a toy gun winds you up so much that you want to threaten physical violence then you need to step away from the keyboard and chill the fuck out.

Can everyone just calm the fuck down? There is NO need for name calling.

Something to bear in mind regardless of your level of training, readiness or equipment is that you probably aren't insured unless you are registered with the site as an approved first aider. As a result no matter how well intentioned you are, you potentially open yourself to being sued by the very people you're trying to help. Sad but unfortunately true.

When in doubt - PYRO!!! Welcome to the madhouse.

All the Viper kit I ever had was rubbish compared to the WAS stuff I use now. That's not to say that for an average airsofter that has a limited budget and only plays once a month it won't last for ages but I would suggest you reserve judgement until you get up close and personal with some better quality kit. It's as much about design as it is quality of materials and workmanship too. That said the latest Viper kit does seem to be better than it used to be. Still made down to a budget but then that's not always a bad thing, after all it's not like we're relying on it in an actual combat scenario now, is it?

No workee with lights though.

Shush you.
