Okay...that's the Orion gearbox so I wouldn't rush to spend a ton on a Warhead because you'll most likely be replacing parts before you can say "what's that funny noise?". The ASG Boost is OK but no better than something like the Rocket 28TPA motors, the Infinity is a better product but again, for what you're trying to achieve I'm not sure it's worth the extra bunce. In terms of RPM etc then if you just want to improve trigger response then look for a "torque" type motor - somewhere around the 30k rpm mark at a guess. The X-ASR mosfet is very basic and will do little more than protect your trigger contacts. Don't be surprised if you end up having to replace it down the road with something a bit better. This would be a decent shout https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/motors-parts/xt-high-torque-motor-22tpa-long-fan

Yeah....that's not how crack works.

Don't forget they add 20% "VAT" at checkout on AliExpress.

I very much doubt the anti gun lobbyists will ever even see this. The only reason for there to be any headlines about drugs and alcohol at an airsoft event is if something reportable happens which is incredibly unlikely (although I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone manages to set fire to the campsite at the minute). ANY large gathering of people will include a number of people that want to get absolutely wrecked via drink or drugs and a number of people who can't think of a worse way to spend their time. It is what it is and quite frankly BOTH sides need to get over themselves. Enjoy what you want to enjoy as long as it doesn't harm someone else and don't be a dick about the things you don't like.

Pretty sure that facemask won't work with a headset.

That's the thing, your feet don't know you're not a "pro". This is the best advice here. You have to go with what fits YOU, not just what someone else recommends. After hearing how Lowa boots are the best thing ever I finally caved and bought a pair of Zephyr GTX boots. Everyone said they shouldn't need breaking in and that they were like slippers from the first day. After wearing them around the office for a day mine left me with numb toes. TRurns out that wide, supinated feet with a very high in step do NOT work well with Lowa Zephyr GTXs. I have personally found Merrells to be very good (ie comfortable and acceptably waterproof). I've had Sawtooths (ally as fuck but quite heavy), two pairs of MOAB trainers for just walking about when it's a bit wet and currently have a pair of MOAB 2 Tactical Response GTX zip side boots for the BB warz. Conversely I know plenty of folks that won't touch Merrells and that they fall apart after a few uses. The one caveat I'd add to @clumpyedge's suggestion is that there is really a minimum I'd expect to pay for a decent boot that will last for at least a year of semi regular use, cheap chinese stuff may well be made in the same factory as the better branded kit but I can guarantee it won't be subject to the same design constrictions or QA. If you want value, get to Go Outdoors and get their discount card (which is about a fiver a year if I recall) and spend the same budget getting better boots at a discount. Great boots won't make you a better airsofter, but bad boots can ruin your day!

Tokyo Marui M4A1 AEG. Second hand, mind you. I still have it but much like Triggers Broom, it bears little resemblance to the original!

IIRC E&C still OEM the Specna One series. The E&C branded ones have the correct rear sight though. Personally I'd say either the Specna or the E&C.

Top edge wants to be roughly level with the notch between your collar bones: Back plate wants to be about the same position...except on your back. Obvs.

Helical gears are great when they're spot on. If they're not spot on they're fucking atrocious! The motor insertion could just be the angle of the pistol grip. When I made my MK12 I used an SPR style grip and it didn't matter what I did with the shimming, the motor was a struggle to seat and sounded like a bag of cats. Swapped the grip to an Ergo style one and it's been SO much better.

This. 100%. I'd echo the comments above though, move the dump pouch to either the rear or side (your 8 o'clock or 4 o'clock depending on if you're right or left handed) and on your belt instead of hanging off your plate carrier. Consider a chest rig instead of a plate carrier. Get a better helmet. Maybe look at trousers in a better cut that allows more freedom of movement (like a G3 style for example).

Abdo panels for the win. As a *ahem* larger gentleman, I wear my knock off AVS where it "should" be, the main issue of size being more related to how all the chinese knock offs are sized for a small or at best medium plate bag. Given that the plate is only supposed to cover the vital organs, it looking like a tactical tube top is pretty much a foregone conclusion when the plate bag is smaller than it should be for your frame. If you want more protection from BBs in those soft squidgy areas, get an abdo panel, side plate bags etc, don't just try and cover what you have with the PC, it just looks stupid.

E&C shells are very good. I have one in my Specna SA-A03 (because it came with it), one I built from the ground up in my MK12 DMR and another in a Salient GRY copy that I'm building (came as a complete gearbox).

Yeah, yeah. We all know you came to post about your undying love for Kryptek Typhon. It's ok, you're among friends.

Yeah...keep going. You're fine.

I've had a couple of those on my scopes for a while! Dead handy and cheap!

I'm pretty sure he started his channel for the narcissism aspect along with all his peers like THG, Names Nicco etc but he definitely caught on to the style of videos that people were engaging with and saw a revenue stream from it. Everything I've seen from him does seem to mark him out as a massive wankspangle though.

Is the right answer. There are camo patterns that will help you blend in, undoubtedly but at the ranges we play at knowing how not to be seen is way more important than what shade of green your camo is. That being said, I like US Woodland, tiger stripe (not the wanky blue stuff though) and ATACS iX for woodland. Avoid big blocks of black, learn how to use cover and concealment properly and you'll be reet.

This. 100%. Nope, for money. Views = ad revenue. Licking Wankstain did a livestream interview where he was quite open about why he makes his videos the way he does and purely and simply it's because they make him more money that way. He's not there because he likes airsoft, he's there because he like the notoriety and because it makes him money. At least, until the videos get demonetised.

It's not airsofters that watch them though, it's people like my brother in law who have absolutely no intention of ever playing but think he's hilarious. Ladbible has a lot to answer for. A good few sites have banned "cheater exposed" type videos already and some have outright banned cameras. All because the YT algorithm pays out more to clickbait fuck-knuckles like KM than to anything "sensible".

Are you sure about that? Their website says it's female (looks like it too) In which case you'll need one of these: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/mini-tamiya-female-to-xt60-male-battery-adapter-2pcs.html?wrh_pdp=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google_gb_shopping&countrycode=GB&gclid=CjwKCAjw3K2XBhAzEiwAmmgrAsOC6b7WeemgLlRDKJ_WqjTOV7ZJjJSvaf_qvmx0B3ThucaqPdcKThoC4qkQAvD_BwE&___store=en_us and then swap the wires over in the Tamiya end.

F&O have made no bones about telling everyone he's banned!

Have you got precocking enabled on the Perun? I wanted to use one on my EBR but when I found out you have to pull the trigger AND push a button on the mosfet to release it, it put me off a bit.
