    LiPos are much better than old NiMh batteries in every way. IMAX B6 chargers are really good too (I'm also wanting to buy one myself) You want a 7.4V as if you're gonna use an 11.1 your gun will need a lot of upgrades. Component Shop or Hobby King are good places to look for batteries, the former having a dedicated airsoft section too. Both can change the connectors for you as well if you've re-wired to Deans or something. http://www.componentshop.co.uk/batteries/airsoft/li-po-packs/74v You'll want to measure the internal space inside the handguard obviously and then compare with the pack sizes but I think these ones look good. http://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-1300mah-25c-continuous-discharge-lipo-battery.html http://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-2200mah-35c-continuous-discharge-lipo-battery.html 25C is the optimum discharge rate you're looking for IIRC. A rule to remember is that you get a shot a mAh (on semi) apparently. So the 2200 should be enough power for ~2000-2200 rounds.

    I think Flyye does use mil-spec materials, but it's still an airsoft brand. No way is it worth spending 300 quid on when you can get a Warrior Assault Systems DCS plate carrier for ~ £110 to £160 including pouches, or as Cheeseright said even an LBT.

    What's the best way to break in mags again? Fill it up with ~ 20 or so, shoot em, then another 20 and so on until you reach full capacity?

      Break them in? I've never done that.

      I guess it isn't too important, just saw it on TaiwanGun once that you shouldn't fill them up completely when you use em for the first time

    Welcome to the forum mate, sorry to hear you're having problems with it! What BBs were you using?

    PMAGs that came yesterday from eHobby Asia, and an ITW Nexus coyote brown Tac Link carabiner that arrived this morning from GunPointGear

    I have an ASG Strike Systems one point. There's a review on here I did of it. One problem I didn't mention, which I probably should, is that they mean your gun hangs really low. At least if you're short like me anyway. I think this is a problem with all single point bungee slings though.
  7. Airsoft_Mr B
    Well if you're wearing glasses under your mask as wll, I don't think anything will go in your eyes.

    Just get a SERPA and a MOLLE adaptor
  9. Airsoft_Mr B
    Well put, good advice I can relate to this cos it's what I should've done. Try lots out, research the ones you like, and make sure you are researching the right one. For example I bought a CYMA M4 because I'd seen like one review of it, and the one I got was different to the one in the review. Apparently it had the same internals, yet a polymer receiver. Now I know CYMAs aren't that good I wish I had bought a Combat Machine. Everyone at the site should be friendly so you could ask to try out one of their guns, just get a feel for it or whatever. I know it will be different in the US but over here I don't think many sites have more than one model of hire gun (say just a crate of G36s or a load of M4s, but not both)

    Apparently my mags arrived in the UK 3 days ago so hoping they'll come soon and customs ant nicked em

      What shop they from? AirsoftPeak says they are celebrating their National Day from the 1st to the 7th and with the riots in Hong Kong maybe that could explain the delay? If they're already in the UK which I think I remember you've said, then I don't know. Either they look like real firearm parts or something and customs want to take a look, or you've spent over £50 or so, so they are gonna send you a bill for VAT / import duty or whatever?

      I haven't spent over th...

      I haven't spent over that much yet so I don't know how it works if they are gonna charge you any extra (like if you get the letter then they deliver you items or if you should still get them on time but then it's followed by charges if you know what I mean)

      Just pouches, usually ASP will mark it down for the declarations or gift it, i ordered them in the days between when the customs delays banner went down, and the national day one went up, and the only thing on the tracking has been saying it was dispatched to overseas on the 28th, and from past experience i don't hthink it would take 8 days to reach GB, i could be wrong though.

  11. Airsoft_Mr B
    Definitely would recommend the G&G out of those three!! I have a CYMA M4 and wish I'd bought a G&G. Also Ares don't have very good internals! The plastic is said to feel really cheap on them as well, not like G&Gs nylon fibre reinforced polymer. I really hate the look of the Amoeba series too personally. People still buy em though :| Sounds good what you have so far. If you have a look on Military1st.co.uk and Flecktarn.co.uk there should be good quality chest rigs around that price for sale there. For pouches and other gear UK Tactical all mil spec quality stuff, and they always have Warrior Assault Systems things on sale. Worth taking a look but a lot of it might have sold out. Depends what colour / camo pattern you want. Eye pro - no specific suggestions, but make sure it's full seal for max protection and of course made by a good company. Make sure they pass EN/166 standards.
  12. Airsoft_Mr B
    I don't know, sorry. Can recommend the DCS though, all Warrior stuff is great.
  13. Airsoft_Mr B
    Also got bored and decided to try a Kryptek style paint job on the stock and one of my mags. Didn't really work out, but I think it looks okay on the pics. Other side of the stock

    Anyone looking for a L85 RIS: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Daniel-Defense-Picatinni-front-hand-guard-SA80-L85-5-56-Army-Combat/281452897426?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIC.MBE&ao=1&asc=25292&meid=662f81fdb75e43218aa42705a22f6cc9&pid=100005&prg=10621&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=221562681171&rt=nc

    Same as Monty as said G&G Combat Machines are great! We always recommend them. Sidearms are fun but it's better to buy good kit and spend money on your rifle (like batteries / magazines and things) before buying a pistol.
  16. Airsoft_Mr B
    1911s are actually WE's worst pistols. Their newer pistols are good but not the 1911s. Also the magazines don't hold a lot of gas because they're small. So best option is either a TM or CO2 like Monty said. Make sure the FPS isn't too high if you want a CO2 one because for example Redwolf's Nighthawk Custom 1911 is way too hot unfortunately (400 FPS)
  17. Airsoft_Mr B
    Either mounted on chest rig / plate carrier, on waist (paddle or on a belt rig) would be my preference. Leg holsters are okay if adjusted properly, shoulder holsters I don't think are very good. Compared to other options, shoulder holsters are only really good for concealed carry IMO. When I hear shoulder holster I think agent / secret service sort of thing. With a shoulder holster, have to reach up and across your chest to get it, so it takes a lot longer. Furthermore it means you can't quickly engage a target straight after drawing your weapon (which you can do if your holster is at the waist) WE and TM Glocks aren't exactly real dimensions but it will fit a wider Fobus holster http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fobus-Paddle-Holster-for-Glock-20-21-/350805425863?pt=US_Holsters&hash=item51ada1fec7 (designed for the G21 chambered in .45 instead of 9x19mm) Unfortunately the other big moulded holster manufacturers such as Blackhawk / IMI don't make Glock 21 holsters.
  18. Airsoft_Mr B
    I'm not sure how good they are but Airsoft Systems polymer mags are only 30 quid for a box of 5. You can get em from Army Surplus and Toys or RWA, and in black, tan or OD. It could also be worth a look on eHobby Asia. Unfortunately I think they've sold out now but they did do MAG magazines pretty cheap. It worked out like £27 posted for a set of 8 when over here they are £55-£60.

    I don't exactly support Hamas. As they fire rockets it's just encouraging Israel and giving them more of an excuse to attack. Israel are clearly in the wrong though, which you seem to fail to understand. So two or three Israelis get kidnapped or whatever, Israel responds by sending in troops and tanks and completely blowing the situation out of proportion yet again. As Russell and myself already pointed out Israel attack civ targets. Regardless of who's good or not in this war (Hamas / Israel) Israel are killing civs unnecessarily / destroying their houses. I'd say you can't really justify that. Then b1n0g decides he'll say I'm a naive child who's watched too much al-Jazeera...how mature of you. I'm sure all of this is making a bad impression on our new members, and in addition the thread is majorly off track at the moment. Sorry to say this is the only major sort of disagreement there's been on here. If we could just agree to disagree and move on it would be best for everyone tbf
  20. Airsoft_Mr B
    There are a few mixed opinions on what's best to do. I'd hire three times as you can get a feel for guns and what you'd like, then buy one when you've got your defence. I think F&O's Manchester Woodland is pretty good.
  21. Airsoft_Mr B
    By pick up games I'm assuming it means you can just join in when you turn up. Or, it means a walk on game / normal skirmish as opposed to a big weekender or mil sim operation sort of thing.

    For whoever was looking for Multicam Tropic stuff: http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/mtccs1na.html & http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/mtcct1na.html

      Rather expensive, it'll make its way into emerson combat sets in the near future.

    3. Airsoft_Mr B

      Airsoft_Mr B

      Agreed. Tru-Spec prices end up pretty varied here. £30 for AOR1, I was hoping MC Tropic would be ~ £45. But it's cheaper than UR-Tactical OPS stuff or importing from the US. Np Monty :)

    Eh couldn't find anywhere to put a password when registering for a Land Warrior Airsoft account, didn't put one, pressed OK. Now it says I have account (But I don't have a password?)

      Is there a forgot password link when you try to login?

    2. Airsoft_Mr B

      Airsoft_Mr B

      Yeah just did it and got the link.

    Where UCP works best ^ In seriousness it's actually pretty effective once it's dirty. In woodlands it can work well.
  25. Airsoft_Mr B
    Why does it have a forward assist, why does it have a charging handle, why does it have a flash hider. Just for aesthetics and a bit more realism. My mate asked me why I had bought a KX3 once actually :/
