Is this your first time on the Internet? ?

Let's just say the great majority of the responses were losing their shit over you having a Section 5 firearm and the rest were expressing their dislike for it on aesthetic grounds.

360FPS with a 0.2g BB is 1.2J so you're fine. Quite high for most sites though. Most places are 350FPS on 0.2g. ARABS is the Airsoft Rants and Bants group, home to some of the more ascerbic members of the airsoft community.

Dubbin isn't going to help. Like you say, if they're that old then the chances are that they've stretched as much as they're going to. If they've dried out then you'll want to treat them regardless but beyond wearing thinner socks and anticipating blisters I can't really suggest anything other than just sending them back. Do not underestimate the importance of good footwear. Yes, surplus stuff is cheap but good stuff is pricey for a reason. I had a pair of slightly too tight boots that I wore for one day, two years ago and my big toe nail has only just recovered.

What make is your SCAR? They're all slightly different!

Correct, no defence required for parts.

A discount is great but if you get a £50 pair of gloves for a tenner, you're still getting a £50 pair of gloves. a £3 pair will always be a £3 pair.

You get what you pay for, they do have some cheaper ones (like the Peter Storm waterproof gloves) but whatever you do get, just be happy that they fit well (not super baggy) and have some kind of grip surface on the palm. Having dry hands is all well and good but of you can't hold your gun with them on then they're somewhat counter-productive.

I believe they use a number of OEM companies to make their guns for them. S&T is one for sure but the 416 looks like it's been done by whoever OEM'd the Specna ones (E&C maybe).

Just a quick note, those gloves are quite bulky and are fleecy type material. You may find they don't give much grip, particularly when they're dry, if you can stretch to them I'd suggest these instead https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/15895026/sealskinz-ultra-grip-glove-15895026/?istCompanyId=c2ec8a5d-93c1-4850-a97a-f4d89d7c99c8&istFeedId=6d621985-aa60-4568-aedd-0f35fc1be5cb&istItemId=wapiwwxia&istBid=t

In a "recreational" setting, I'd far rather be around a stoner than a pisshead (far less likelihood of violence and far better choice of snacks for a start). As for whether or not it's acceptable on a site - it's irrelevant if the site rules disallow it. Doesn't matter if you agree with it or not or if you are fine after a spliff or two or a couple of beers. Airsoft sites are privately run and more often than not have a landlord. If that landlord doesn't like anything the punters do the company running the site for airsoft can lose their lease. Breaking the rules and pissing off the landlord is a dick move.

I run an M14 with midcaps. If i'm playing a site that doesn't go back to the safe zone for reloads between games (eg Gunman Camp Bravo) I typically take 8 mags out with me. Plus smokes, bangs, pistol +2 mags. I still just use a chest rig and a belt (for the pistol and pistol mags) though.

Seeing as TM don't give two shits about anyone buying grey imports outside of Japan, I doubt very much that they would be too bothered about letting people know.

Just FYI, your gun has garnered some interest on the ARABS group on FB. So...what exactly IS the FPS on that thing now?

The only difference is the extra 2". Leave it alone, use it and work out what isn't performing then fix that. Just because someone else has decided to swap out a perfectly good hop unit or piston doesn't mean that YOU have to.

Fit the parts you already have, use the gun and work out what it actually isn't doing well enough. Don't chase improvements that aren't there just because you can swap a part for something more expensive, it doesn't always work like that. Personally I wouldn't bother trying to DMR an Orion gearbox. Shimming and motor height have three parts of fuck all to do with trigger response unless it's completely wrong to start with. Stick with the zci hop unit, it's fine. AOE will also be absolutely fine, leave it alone. If you have good compression then that's all you can ask from your cylinder/ piston etc. Leave it alone unless it breaks. Yes, the Perun will be an improvement on the x-asr as that is the most basic of basic mosfets. I would go with a Gate Aster and USB link so you can make changes from your phone but I like gadgets.

True but you'd still have the shank stuck in there. If you're lucky the cam behind the selector will be metal and you can get it out. If it's plastic then it's going in the bin with the screw shank! Either way, life's too short to try getting M3 screws out of fire selectors with a screw extractor!

FN Herstal make the real ones. If it is the G&G model then it's basically a standard V2 gearbox. I have a BTC Spectre mosfet in mine but you could go for Gate Aster or Titan or a Perun V2 hybrid. Definitely look at getting a better motor though, my original one was pretty crap.

I was going to say exactly that!

What FPS are you getting now and how much does it vary from shot to shot? The main thing to do with a DMR is make sure it's consistent which comes from having a good airseal. If your current cylinder/piston/nozzle is giving to good consistency - leave it alone. As for trigger response, a better motor helps, a decent programmable mosfet with cycle completion and pre-cocking will also help.

Save yourself the dicking about and drill them out. Or...

Any of them should fit really, they clamp to the lower rail and the back end sits around the magwell. Get a cheap one though, you'll probably get sick of the extra weight after a while and leave it in your bag same as everyone else does.
