    can't decide if I want a Tippmann or not because there's a tank & line to buy as well and how easy will it to be to get it filled? Or get a TM MWS or something. Want a gun that doesn't rely on battery but don't suppose you can get any HPA or gas gun cheap

      You can run the Tippmann with 12g CO2 cartridges. They fit in the Tippmann mags. I have been considering getting one but didn't fancy the HPA tank.

      Tippmann all the way, great guns, excellent warranty, good performers

      A Tippmann all the way bud. Had one loved it. Only sold mine dos I had three HPA weapons and couldn't justify having three.

    This is very relatable :| I'm wanting to start a Tippmann build because I don't like AEGs, but already have enough guns when I hardly play enough airsoft anyway. Also a PenCott GreenZone loadout.

    Madbull FDE Troy TRX BattleRail 11" FMA Helmet NVG Mount for iPhone Strike Industries Cobra Trigger Guard Combo (2PK, FDE) Prometheus Bucking Systema V2 Spring Guide Noticed there's a RWA (UK) sale on, missed out on the best stuff but got some good deals. Thing is I can't even use the rail I've bought on my M4 atm yet I think oh but I'll put it on my Tippmann I'm getting f*ck knows when that will be though EDIT: Also picked up a NUPROL LiPo charger and two 1450mAh stock tube 7.4v LiPos Gonna buy one of those battery bag things and a low voltage alarm from HobbyKing later

    think I've asked this before but what are people using to clean their inner barrels? because I have never known for sure and am intending to get around to doing proper clean of my guns this week. I know should be some kind of lint free cloth but is there anything specific or anything else I should know...to me using cig filters seems like a better method

    I'm interested! ...don't suppose they have 32 Short? Unexpected Christmas bonus from work (in full as well) Bought: FMA FAST Maritime - £38 from eBay, UK seller too at CN / HK retailer sorta price Source UTA (for filling 3L WLPS from tap / bottle) WAS triple mag pouch & QRS sling in MC Looking to get a couple LiPos and charger + some G3 style trousers, PenCott GreenZone (Emerson does em) is tempting but will go with multicam especially if I can buy genuine Crye, goes with Auscam unlike GZ & current MARPAT trousers

    I'm looking at one from Shooter CB Gear, again, doubt you'll be charged for import duty / tax. They'll probably declare it's worth a lot less than you pay, and I've heard before that you aren't usually charged anything extra unless an order is valued at being worth £50 or more - then again I've heard elsewhere you are supposed to be charged on imports so idk it's a bit of a grey area I suppose.

    Reducing velocity on AEGs is just a simple spring change, when you buy one they're numbered as M90 / M100 / M110 etc which refers to the velocity in metres per second and then you can pick which one corresponds to the desired FPS. It will vary anyway dependant on other factors such as your air seal in the gun but should be about the same, if not you can also cut an existing spring to reduce power. With regards to using heavier BBs, this doesn't really work because you have to chrono all guns with 0.20s - as has been mentioned the power behind the BB still remains the same from my understanding. Finally I can't help with maintenance cos I'm crap at it and don't maintain my guns enough tbch, does not help that I think there are a lot of different videos and people have their own conflicting techniques and ideas of how to do it. For example silicone oil is commonly used for barrel cleaning, but others say use rubbing alcohol (it's a cleaner, not a lubricant like silicone oil) There's confusion where to use silicone oil (DO NOT put it on hop bucking) and so on Most people will use blue towel stuff I think? (for cleaning barrel specifically, I'm still not sure if it is blue towel stuff that is used) whereas the Patrol Base blog suggests using cigarette filters which is pretty unique

    If you're under 18 and don't have a 'licence' you can't get one! End of! Unless you have a parent who will 'gift' you it...I was in same position so it's worth mentioning that or you will get all the types of replies. And why tf do you have a grand to spend. Just remember an airsoft sniper rifle is not going to do any better than an AEG (i.e. range & accuracy Performance is near enough the same but you have a much lower ammo capacity in each magazine, fire rate is very bad etc. It costs a lot to upgrade too (but doesn't sound like that's a problem!) still you need to have a lot of patience and be persistent to upgrade the gun and to do the sniper role in general. A lot of people say they want to be a sniper but then find it is not as they thought it would be (Not like how you might expect a sniper rifle to function, characteristics of the real gun does not mean the same for airsoft, not like in a video game either)

    You could have got one from Shooter CB Gear for 40 quid

      I think u have to get on it as soon as u receive the email jedi, still can't imagine what a fair weather pewer like yourself would need a big warm jacket for?? :P

    3. shortman

      shortman

      I agree was also sad the jackets where out of stock. Dont really like the new site either. But i am a massive uk tac lover. Excellent service every time. And im a warrior whore lol.

      Any fool can get cold & wet, I just prefer nice fair weather days Randy. Those wolf grey jackets are so tacti-cool. Grey is a great urban colour and down in The Bunker it does get cold. Now they are back in stock but no discount offer so reluctant to pay full price.

  15. Airsoft_Mr B

    IK everyone always ask this but searched n can't find threads easily...wat are good boots for aboot £50, would get UA / 5.11 etc but don't want to spend £100+ not sure on reliability of surplus ones either heard bad things about some

      German Para boots work well for me and seen reviews of people saying they replaced after 10+ years. Main factor is the shape of your feet as to what is comfortable.

      I bought a £25 pair of boots off Amazon a couple months back. Made of Leather and Cordura reinforced with steel shank. Tough, flexible and comfortable. May not last as long as surplus boots but for £25 they have been unbelievably comfortable and i've not had a single issue even the first day wearing them in on the field.

    Warrior Assault Systems DCS Gonna piss off the postman again with 5 different orders of stuff already thanks to payday

    WAS Recon PC (Shooters Cut) nvm, nowt airsoft related this month yet
  19. Airsoft_Mr B
    Most important thing is get good eye protection and footwear!! I would say hire a gun / camo overalls for a few games, then you can decide what you actually need. Nothing worse than wasting money on things you won't really use as I have made that mistake a lot myself (that said don't think I'll learn from it though haha)
  20. Airsoft_Mr B
    Had one of these and couldn't get it to fit right disappointing cos I've tried a few different masks as alternatives to mesh myself and none of them really work I would say if you want to try one order from China as it'll be cheaper but when mine arrived it had been mis-shapen
  21. Airsoft_Mr B
    Yeah, don't offer two-tone as they're in Hong Kong. Remember you might have to pay customs tax and duty though.
  22. Airsoft_Mr B

    Have a feeling I've asked this 5 times before but recommend good places to buy a genuine Imax B6? preferably in the UK + power pack, appropriate cables to charge tamiya / deans with (probably buying tamiya first then upgrade to deans later not sure yet)

      It isn't DCS (sorry) It's this vest, it'll come with (I think) 10x M4 magazine pouches, and I think some other pouches.. I'll post a thread tomorrow.

    3. Jedi_Master

      Jedi_Master

      20% of DCS low profile, code DCSLP20 until midnight 12 Oct. Also get free pouch.

      That's the deal I was lookin at but would've been better if I could've got one when they were about £80

  24. Airsoft_Mr B

    fs made an order to Platatac to my old address can't find how to cancel it |:

    1. TacMaster

      TacMaster

      Email them with the order ref?

  25. Airsoft_Mr B
    If you get the Condor one you pay like an extra £15 for Multicam, so I'd get tan instead. Lozart made a good point cos I noticed the flap feature as well which AFAIK is only on one other belt which is 3x the price, think it's 5.11 / VTAC or Tactical Tailor.
