They make decent gear (I have one of their baofeng holsters) but you're right that they don't do anything for a 226. You can get a brand new Fobus for less than the price of a second hand safariland though.

Pretty sure it's either fixed or sat in a box doing nothing by now...

New pew! Classic Army MP5A3 because SEF lower > recoil.

Hi and welcome back! They have two sites but yes, they are near Collards. The Alpha site is where they tend to host the Milsim and Filmsim games, Camp Bravo is set up for skirmish type games.

Different battery chemistry though. Not all LiPo batteries are created equal! If you abuse a phone battery or it's poorly installed you can still get 'splodey nastiness!

Yeah, they will. The cart screws up from time to time but the actual billed amount will be picked up correctly.

My stock Cyma SOCOM is awesome, try running it on 0.28s but keep it stock!

You'd need to add a new spring too though. Every Cyma M14 I've fitted a new barrel to has bumped it up over 350FPS! Cyma M14s are THE BEST though. Or this:

I'm sure someone made a video about that...

Any particular reason (other than just wanting to support UK business which is entirely fair)

Roger that!

My brother in law has a resin printer. Is nice.

Last game out I lost the gas plug from the front of my Cyma M14 Socom. Cue much searching of the inetrwebs and the only replacements I can find are the PDI ones that purport to be for the TM M14 range. So I splash out on both the regular and short gas plugs along with a Smith Enterprises front sight (if you know you know) BUT the PDI gas plugs are not the same thread as my various M14s (one ASG/Cyma longboi, Cyma M14 Socom and a Cyma EBR Mod 1). After much fiddling with my digital calipers the PDI ones appear to be M10 x 1.25 but the original ones are M10 x 1.12 (possibly M10 x 1.0). The question is - do I drill it out and fit an M10 x 1.25 helicoil or just try and push an M10 x 1.25 plug tap down and hope there's enough meat for the thread to form? What say you, engineering types?

🤣

The MP7 has a really long motor shaft.

It won't. The TW shell is a very different shape than a Maritime. FMA do a TW cover though, if you can't find one then the OPS FAST helmet cover will fit or an Agilite TW cover (which is way more expensive but rather lovely).

I'm not sure at all, I just looked at what is shown as the current range on the JG Works website!

I'd suggest something that can make more than a gnat's fart of air movement. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/542554597/basic-dual-fans-kit-for-mounting-in-a?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=helmet+fans&ref=sr_gallery-1-2

You need to try it out on a site where you can properly gauge the range. 15m will only really tell you if you're massively under hopping (BB goes about 10 feet then drops to the floor) or hugely over hopping (BB leaves the barrel and travels skywards, never to be seen again). Start with the hop off and gradually increase it until the BB starts to go further. It should gently rise before it drops off when you're at the right sort of setting but that will be WAY beyond 15m even with 0.2g BBs (unless you've picked up a lemon).

The vast majority of research stuff online is sports related. There is some good pointers though if you look at taping vs mechanical supports for prevention of ankle injury as they pretty much all come down on the side of mechanical supports (which is basically what having a high leg boot is seeking to do). As mentioned above, strengthening the ankle through exercise is without a doubt the best place to start but that doesn't mean it should be the only route to take. It's also worth mentioning that one article espousing the value of the ASO Ankle brace (on a walking blog) does make the VERY valid point that no matter how good your boots are, if your gait means you are prone to ankle sprains or if you have a weak ankle from previous injury, NO walking boot is going to completely prevent further injury on its own. From a personal viewpoint I think it's worth remembering that walking boots and tactical boots have very different requirements in the way they will be used and it's entirely possible to go hiking in a good pair of trainers as long as you prepare your feet and joints for it first. There is no one "best boot" for everyone and people need to bear in mind when making recommendations that their feet are not the same as anyone else's and that the BEST boots are ones that fit properly. If you're in any way concerned for the health of your lower extremities, go see a proper podiatrist that can analyse your gait and give good advice. I went through the NHS and ultimately ended up with custom orthotics that have been an absolute god send! (I have very high arches, I supinate and am prone to Plantar Fasciitis)

Worth bearing in mind that ankle support isn't just about twisting type injury protection. It protects from impacts, reduces fatigue while walking long distances carrying high loads. I'm sure there's plenty of evidence out there given that boot design has come on leaps and bounds since the good old days of leather army boots!

All good points and everybody's mileage will vary, but then I was the kind of biker that puts their leathers on to nip out for a pint of milk so... (I've also properly torn the ligaments in my ankle before so I have NO desire to repeat that particular slice of shit pie)

They're great if they fit you properly. Super light but just not wide enough for my awkward bloody plates of meat.

Which parts has he provided? You may need to look at specific airsoft receivers to fit with the milspec parts!
