G&G P90 and F2000 both have adjustable strength springs (basically a preload screw I guess) so you can adjust the FPS. Or you could fit a GB with a quick change spring (my M249 has this) or go down the ICS route as suggested and have different uppers for different sites. Or, y'know.....BUY MOAR GUNZ!!!

AK? Do you even SCAR, bro?

Yes, I have one on my M4. Be prepared for it to wobble a bit though.

That looks gash. But that's fine if you've only got £15 to spend. There ARE better ones on ebay for similar money but do you want a vest or a chest rig (like what you've posted)?

You don't need to buy one FROM Magpul. If you REALLY want a genuine Magpul get it from Midway UK (the link I posted) as this has already been shipped with all the correct paperwork. ITAR is a US measure to stop american made weapon parts being shipped outside the US. Unfortunately the blanket nature of the control precludes the sale of weapon accessories (like stocks, grips and sights) unless you can find a sensible/friendly dealer that will ship to the UK. £70 for a genuine Magpul stock is NOT expensive. It's also completely over the top for a CM16 when there's plenty of cheap knock offs about that will work just as well for you. (by the way - a genuine Magpul UBR stock retails nearer £350).

1: the gun is good, yes. Buy it. 2: no, dyeing the wood on an AK won't be good enough. Partly because all the cheap AKs aren't actually wood anyway but mostly because a tasteful shade of cherry doesn't look sufficiently unrealistic to qualify under the VCRA regs. 3: whatever you feel comfortable in running about and getting dirty is absolutely fine to wear. You'll probably forget about fashion and start being more bothered by practicality quite quickly though.

Should be good enough for the money. Just remember to get a buffer tube and the long bolt you need to attach it.

ebay

If you want that particular one, yes: http://www.midwayuk.com/epages/Midway_UK.sf/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Midway_UK/Products/2319195903/SubProducts/622676 If you want cheap chinese knock offs of PTS licenced airsoft replica magpul stuff then pretty much everywhere!

They do a commercial spec one too.

Also - still needs a buffer tube to attach to.

Probably not. They're designed for actual guns not airsoft weapons. Also - you can't buy it direct due to this: ITAR International Traffic in Arms Regulations Controlled Product

In terms of "real steel" (god I have that term) it's a platform capable of increased accuracy at range than a standard infantry rifle. Usually based off a similar platform to allow the Designated Marksman to share ammo with the rest of the squad if need be (not always of course). As far as airsoft is concerned it's pretty much all down to FPS. You can make a DMR out of an MP5 if you so desire. It's a way of having a semi auto AEG/GBBR that has higher FPS for better range/accuracy (yeah yeah I know) but without going to the extremes/play style of being a sniper.

If price isn't an issue - why not the TM Recoil SCAR H?

Ditto the dropleg of course... http://www.eliteukforces.info/gallery/uksf-misc/special-forces.php That's the great thing about the internet - you can find a photo to prove pretty much ANY point

That'll be the M9 Tactical Master then (grip is a dead giveaway). Should be fine in a standard M92 or M96 compatible holster. The IMI listing on Ebay - the selection drop down is to pick which attachment you want on the holster, the listing is for a holster you just select wether you want paddle/belt/Molle attachments etc. Pick whichever you think is the most likely way you'll want to wear it because you can buy the different attachments quite easily if you fancy a change!

I thought that. But then I thought - hey, who cares. He's having fun. Plus proper Pigs are WELL heavy!

With the rail? Best bet (in my opinion at least) would be either the IMI one that Airsoft_Mr B linked to or a Safariland style. They won't fit a standard M92/96 holster because the rail makes the frame below the barrel too wide. Ultimately it really depends on personal preference, the TM pistols aren't so heavy that wearing them on your chest will be an issue as long as your chest rig/PC is set up right. If it's not adjusted correctly it'll sag under the weight.

Drop leg holsters ONLY flap about if you're using them wrong. Prime example was the guy at The Malls at the weekend whose pistol was pretty much next to his knee. Granted the serpa/safariland styles are better as they have a rigid backplate that fits to your thigh but even then, most people have them set way too low and way too loose. My M9A1 (Socom Gear desert combat edition - all metal) is a heavy beast and it certainly doesn't flap about! The top strap on the drop leg needs to be pretty much scraping your nuts (but not actually - chafing is bad m'kay).

Always worth buying a lanyard in my opinion, you can still drop your pistol even if it's in your hand! A lot of cheap copies about of the Blackhawk and Safariland stuff as the real stuff can be quite pricey. Fobus are worth a look too as the real deal kit isn't particularly pricey. Also IMI Roto Holsters. You will find though that weapon choice may restrict you in the range of holsters you can use. For example there's plenty of M92 holsters about but not many for the M9A1 with a rail. God forbid you want a holster for an M9 WITH a torch on! Glock and Sig seem to be the de rigeur choice these days and every man and his dog does a hundred different holsters for them!

Fear not, we all have the "Did I buy the right gear?" dilemma at first and it's a rare and lucky player that gets it right first time.

2:01 perfect example of what SHOULD happen when pyro goes in.

Rank 45 as part of the all kit weapons. Classed as a PDW (yeah....I know).

In these situations I/we (my buddies are of a similar mindset) tend to go for the "lead by example" approach of using the age old battle cry "Oh FFS, get out of the way" and charging headlong into the foe. Sometimes it breaks the stalemate, sometimes it just serves as amusement but either way - it's not me standing in the midst of a gagglefuck anymore!
