    That's true. I have Norway / Sweden in my head...could be one of those. It's been a while. I think AirsoftGI interviewed someone at Shot Show and he said that's what's happening.

    I was reading about this recently actually and I think the HK416 is considered to be an M4. I haven't owned one myself so I can't tell you how similar they are internally, although the 416 does look really good (much cooler than standard M4A1) If you have the money, there is the TM Recoil Shock 416D. Tokyo Marui are widely accepted as the best airsoft gun manufacturer for both rifles and pistols. Their performance is second to none, and build quality is pretty good I think. However, this is reflected in the high price! Personally I am going to get a KWA RM4 ERG one day which is the competitor to Marui's Recoil Shock series, but around £200 or so cheaper. Again, to be honest I can't comment on magazines either. I do know that the 417 uses proprietary mags, but not sure about the 416. I'm sure you'll get some other replies soon enough that will be able to help you out a lot more. Finally, I saw Elite Force are going to release a HK416 but I don't know when it will be available or anything. Whichever gun you choose to get, I would say make sure it has plenty of good reviews and is popular. I made bad decisions with my first two guns and then found out neither are actually that good and I would have much rather bought something else. Anyway, welcome to the forums and enjoy the skirmish! By the way, the G&G Combat Machine M4s are THE BEST guns for a beginner. Literally everyone recommends them. Although it has a polymer receiver the external quality is excellent, as are the internals. It's affordable too (from £117)

    I've noticed this and recently the only websites I've been looking at are either eHobby Asia, RSOV, Gunfire and Taiwan Gun. (Plus a quick look on Airsoft-Club and Redwolf too) Shipping prices are expensive but more times than not the stuff still works out cheaper than from the UK. For example, box set of 8 MAG MP5 magazines. Airsoft Supply Drop ~ £60 delivered. RSOV - £45 shipped (IIRC) Tokyo Marui Glock 17 (Gen 3) - $182 or £108.40. ($39 of that is for shipping)

    So I was going to get a WELL MB-01 (AKA Warrior L96) including scope and bipod for ~ £110 but I've discovered a TM Real Shock VSR-10 is £154 shipped from eHobby Asia. :)

      May as well get a TM VSR Pro at PAS for 170. Or better yet get one from Echigoya in Japan for 100 pounds(not incl. shipping)

      Sadly Echigoya's site is down :(

      I didn't know anywhere was selling it, thanks. I've got round to reading some more on it and the recoil will just knacker the cylinder and make shot consistency / accuracy worse. I could always disable it I suppose. It's either the WELL MB01 L96 or TM VSR then. Pretty obvious choice, but then again I'm not buying it yet.

      Has Echigoya been down for a while?

    I use Blasters most of the time but recently bought a pack of King Arms 0.2s. TaiwanGun's P&J BBs are said to be only slightly worse than the King Arms and are very cheap - so if you're ordering anything else from there (£11 shipping from Poland if order is under £55 or something) I would recommend you try some out. Wouldn't recommend Bulldogs because JBBG say they're good, which will mean they aren't. I used them in my cheap shitty springers like 2 or 3 years ago but never used them again in my AEGs. I don't know....yeah they are probably fine but you could get much better ones and at around the same price.

    Already signed it a couple of weeks ago

    Thanks for posting this! Her stuff looks brilliant! Definitely will be ordering some patches or a custom hoodie from them in the future.
  8. Airsoft_Mr B
    Intended to make a bandolier type thing but never could be bothered to finish it and I didn't buy good quality materials either. Also was meaning to finish and air powered rifle thing but I never completed the stock and had to find some putty of some sort which is the only part I didn't have.

      Yeah, I was the guy with the proto switch EL mask and the rental g36c. Get my UKARA in about a week so only a few more visits with a rental gun then I get my own!

    Nice review, I've been looking at the compact version myself. (http://www.rsov.com/product.php?langId=1&currencyId=4&manufacturerId=10&prodId=18692&cateId=54) Although I am actually going to get the WE Glock 17, I really like the design of the S&W M&P.
  11. Airsoft_Mr B
    Only an 11.1V should be problem if your gun isn't upgraded but a 7.4 should be fine. Around 25C rating I believe is the optimum, 20C is a bit too low whereas 30 is quite high IIRC.
  12. Airsoft_Mr B

    Would the Well MB-02F be compatible with VSR internals? I'm guessing so because they're both based on the same rifle and the MB-03 does take VSR/BAR parts.

      I will probably get a Well (Warrior) MB-01 L96 in the end, as it's the other popular rifle (don't know how to word it) I know that's pretty upgrade able and I can get a lot of the parts. Speaking of which I'd upgrade sears first to reduce wear and then move on to reinforced cylinder head etc. I had a look at upgrade guides a while back but forgot a lot of it.

      You will also need a new cylinder,the WELL L96 cylinder are made of a low quality brass alloy and are crimped on-they handles have a habit of coming off with higher power springs. L96s are a good option since you have a 90* mech ready to go,all you need is new sears and piston for max reliability. Their hop up units are quite usable too-I highly reccomend ASPUk hop up arms for them. A con I can think of Is that the hop up rubbers are not very good,you can get AEG rubbers onto them with a new...

      Thanks for the help :)

      Really useful advice there mate.

      I'll get the MB-01 from Gunfire (£90-£110 including scope + bipod) Then I guess around £150 for upgrades (internally)

  13. Airsoft_Mr B
    Peltor Ear Defenders and Swiss Arms BBs from Patrol Base
  14. Airsoft_Mr B
    I know :/ haha
  15. Airsoft_Mr B
    I guess so, I just assumed it could be a TM thing since CYMA make TM clones. Stupid that it doesn't have a threaded barrel but oh well.
  16. Airsoft_Mr B
    No issues as far as I know. The G&G Combat Machine M4s are great quality - both internally and externally. I'm also 99% sure that the barrel is threaded (unlike TM-spec rifles like my CYMA ) The flash hider will be able to be removed. Buy a good battery and charger. Preferably a LiPo, and re-wire to Deans.
  17. Airsoft_Mr B
    Now I want a Firehawk! Wish I bought one rather than my shirty CYMA TM-spec thing (hard to upgrade, internals not great) really like a 4" RIS too
  18. Airsoft_Mr B
    Best thing to do is either to your local airsoft shop so you can get a feel for the guns and use them. Alternatively try a few when you go to a skirmish. G&G's Combat Machine range is brilliant for beginners though. Patrol Base or Zero One are the cheapest places to buy (price doesn't include battery or charger)
  19. Airsoft_Mr B
    Heard good things about these, you can also see they comply with US MIL standards so you're guaranteed protection. http://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/smith-optics-elite-boogie-regulator-goggle-10085-p.asp Any of the other goggles or glasses should work great too, but of course it's best to check the specs before you buy if it doesn't tell you on Tactical Kit. I got my ESS glasses from eBay ~ £20. Hope this helped!
  20. Airsoft_Mr B
    Get good quality ballistic glasses from a trusted brand, mil-spec rated. Try Tactical-Kit. Some goggles from Bollé or ESS or something. Personally I use ex-British Army ESS ICE glasses myself. That way you have peace of mind your eyes are protected and you're not using some cheap ones that couldn't be up to safety standards. I do have some mesh goggles and a mesh mask (for CQB) myself and I've been fine with them but I don't like that something could happen.

    What are shipping costs from RSOV like?

      You dont even need to go through the checkout process with RSOV, They give you the shipping price as soon as you add it to your cart

      Oh right :/ sorry

      Thanks guys

      They're not great, as expected, but some stuff still works out cheaper than over here. For example MAG MP5 magazines are £40 (8) rather than £55/£60 and Madbull ACE stock ~ £65 (UK: around £80-£90 I think?)

  22. Airsoft_Mr B
    Say you're spending around £900 then, I don't know what kind of gun you're getting, but let's just say you're going for a pretty expensive TM Recoil (around £500) then you still have £400 just for gear. I know a lot of us airsofters do end up spending lots of money each year on gear and things but it isn't really necessary. I would recommend the same as everyone else really, make sure you get good eye protection. I think Tactical Kit do mil-spec / ballistic rated goggles and glasses. I use ESS ICE glasses myself. Then some good camo clothes (Flecktarn.co.uk or Military 1st are good websites for that) and UKTactical stock great quality military gear by Warrior Assault Systems. Any good walking boots should do fine for airsoft.
  23. Airsoft_Mr B
    Shouldn't need to lug kit around at all, just drive to the site and then you can take the gun out of the case in the safe zone place.
  24. Airsoft_Mr B
    Meh, I don't know. Mesh goggles are pretty notorious because BBs can shatter and you'll end up having fragments in your eye. Isn't usually as bad as it sounds, if you can wash your eye out. Still though, not something you want to happen. I wouldn't go cheap on eye protection in airsoft. Personally I would recommend you get some proper good quality glasses or goggles that are mil-spec rated. I have a pair of ex-British Army ESS ICE glasses myself. That way you don't have to worry about your eyes at all! Try tactical kit, I believe they stock good eye pro.
