  1. Really not sure why they're marketing it specifically for any type of MP5 to be honest. Barring a few exceptions most AEG cylinders are the same length (within tolerances). The important bit is where the vent hole is for your length of barrel. A 220mm barrel would be more like a 3/4 hole, that one looks like a 4/5 hole so may be a bit over volume for what you need. One like this - https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/cylinders/xt-cylinder-anti-heat-3-4
  2. Could be worse, the BBC used the UNSC logo from HALO instead of the United Nations Security Council one on a piece about Syria. Live, on the news.
  3. Take the gearbox out of the lower, there's more likely to be markings on the bit you can't see!
  4. It's a stock photo of a "British soldier" from iStock. Lazy journalism for sure but maybe not quite the gotcha you think it is.
  5. TopTech isn't the name for the flappy horrible pneumatic blowback. It's just the range of guns that had an MP5 with it on. But yes, good riddance. Stupid idea.
  6. https://deadlycustoms.co.uk/product/mp9-kydex-dc1-series-holster/ Options are there for left/right hand, mountings, mid ride, and a QLS instead of just friction fit.
  7. If you look at the table on the second page of that, you will see that in "temple mode" ie - worn as glasses without the strap, the lenses are rated to EN166F. Worn with the strap they are EN166 3 4 B. By wearing them with the strap the unit as a whole can be classed as goggles and hence gets an EN166B rating. EN166 F is the highest you can get with glasses because part of the classification for goggles is that they won't get knocked off by the impact.
  8. https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/fma-goggle-swivel-clips-36mm-for-helmet-w-rails?fv=9708&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-uK0BhC0ARIsANQtgGOmNyOpE4DH3x_Cl4gqcapvnKEs5h7qMrKcGLXXHf9VYghmAvGDBEsaAl7sEALw_wcB (search for "arc rail goggle mount")
  9. Quick translation: 5.85 grains is 0.38 grams.
  10. This. There are some masks that come with alternative straps but not off the shelf straps to fit the kind of mask you have. Get some of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Helmtet-Release-Airsoft-Accessories-equipped/dp/B07QXN44GR?th=1 and some of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=10mm+tri+glide&adgrpid=127019218228&hvadid=592919941386&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9045741&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11154678203543127172&hvtargid=kwd-502974139876&hydadcr=22614_2214444&tag=googhydr-21&ref=pd_sl_782nulc56e_e (check the width of your straps for the right size).
  11. I don't think it's actually M-Lok though. IIRC it takes rail sections that screw on with the little holes between the slots. But yes, one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/OTraki-Swivels-Adapter-Picatinny-Mounting/dp/B07KYFZCCR/ref=sr_1_5?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Jj5t2L4VUAuUsyIfsTpM5dOUKCyXu_OJ99eUR9c6agoNLDHyDwcgsXw47rRqkaL_H7K5dKPbMcno3ecwjH-7R2PIFQIiWY6z_COOeReTv8jzV6bQ928NzJbqyEh-4fnw1uk4v-kMd_BqFBsyB0pF9QIbPQpE6yjj4ALolTsC-IIRgVyoL0H3x1otmUUBYd9oPMC-17GfyD-k_yXdJKLwZZsiD92pv01M4tIkK9pn4dhrc3UbIO2epb_8S5Met-B8MkFv349a9eW9zrIB0Z84fmnhvTFUL9ihxNafid-v0wQ.8J8g11DiJTkJhy9Pzdc2tUqCGxElIr6Q_mvPgyvvRz8&dib_tag=se&keywords=qd+sling+mounts&qid=1721118306&sr=8-5 and you can attach any 2-point sling you like with either plain ends or clips.
  12. It's not even "custom"...that's how they come! 🤮
  13. Neither have I, I'd still go for an LPVO over a copy DR any day of the week. Needed another pistol. Innit.
  14. Looks like the proprietary VFC Avalon ETU.
  15. Presumably, even at airsoft speeds, the further apart the sensors are, the more accurate the readings are likely to be?
  16. All the ones I've tried have had really bad eye relief and piss poor shadowing from the tube on 4x. Personally I don't think that any of them are worth the weight.
  17. If any of the multitude of VFC teching videos are anything to go by, the piston probably fits like a dick in a shirt sleeve. How up for ripping it apart and tinkering are you?
  18. Do you mean how do you change the lens?
  19. https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/category/16-swaps-only/
  20. I was concerned that I might have the same issue until I had my BP checked at the docs and they used the EXACT SAME machine I have at home. So that's nice.
  21. TIL that VFC MP5 handguards don't fit on a Classic Army MP5.

     

    In other news - is the VFC MP5 any good?

      Luke made a video on it a while ago, the TL;DR version is.....

       

      No, it's not good.

      Fair enough. Anybody after a KAC rail for an MP5? 🤣

      VFC are real sized so fit on VFC , PTW , G&G stamped , SRC steel version and Cyma Steel version as well as TM NGRS

  22. Probs best off sticking with Gardeners World. I jest of course (although Monty Don is hard to stop watching). Does it get better? Yes, in the sense that the character development works quite well for what it is - light entertainment in an "America, FUCK YEAH" style. If you're expecting anything much beyond that then no, you'll be disappointed. I like it, but then I'm happy to switch my brain off in front of the TV from time to time (apart from when they show someone looking through a red dot and overlaying a sniper reticule, that really gets me going).
