  1. Put a Magpul hand guard on it, you can get attachments that fix straight in to the existing apertures on it or fix rails on where they are needed. Plus you get to keep the battery in there.
  2. I sit on the toilet and shoot out of the bathroom and through in to the bedroom at the opposite end of the passage. It gives me about 35ft to the target
  3. It's not the accuracy it's the size of the mount. It's a perfect example of a weapon designed in a time of peace. Later models of the German weapon were cut right down, the lost the armour plates for a start. There used to be a great big power operated 20mm mount that the RN used back at the start of the war. It was abandoned in favour of the simple pedestal mounted gun and powered 40mm mounts. Here is a fine example of an over engineered gun. http://householdcavalry.info/mgg1918.html
  4. still say over engineered. It makes more sense in the quad mount though
  5. It's well made but the proportions are well, shall we say 'off' The 2cm Flak sits on a flat metal turntable with 3 'feet' to adjust for rough ground. It's wheels are part of a separate carriage that the gun is raised and fastened in to turntable and all. Those wheels are the size of car tires on the real thing. http://www.2ndpanzerdivision.com/flak_40.htm a real one German 2cm is way over engineered for the size of gun. British Army 20mm mounts were a lot more compact and simple http://www.milweb.co.uk/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=69168&cat=6 http://www.wwpd.net/2013/02/review-battlefronts-20mm-polsten-aa-gun.html
  6. When you have a defence you can swap the handguard for one with a rail. If you don't like the colour of a 2-tone wrap it in cam tape
  7. We have one shared exhibition a year featuring Airsoft and someone arganises a weekend event. Every weekend sees about a dozen Model Railway Exhibitions a week. some are huge. I am a member of a small club in Cleveland. Our annual exhibition attracts about 5,000 people over the course of the weekend. Big shows like Harrogate or Birmingham at the NEC attract 10s of thousands. Building kit models and Fishing have millions of participants
  8. I have never actually seen a printed Airsoft Magazine
  9. Model boats and model railways are huge hobbies.
  10. Gunfire are in Poland. No tax or duty, free delivery on over about £48 £12 on anything under. No problem importing from them, get them to put your UCARA number on the box. I got a WE Glock from them no problem.
  11. Oz had plenty of Smle to go round. Britain needed a load more and the SMLE was expensive and time consuming to make compared the the simplified and more efficient Mk4
  12. It's held back by the requirements of the law. While there are hoops to jump through before you can buy a RIF it will always be held back.
  13. Online Fishing tackle dealers are the same, all claim to stock everything in every line but apart from two or three big sites they never have any.
  14. Jungle loadout with a Thompson or Shotgun then.
  15. Don't forget Gunfire and Taiwan do free P&P over a certain ammount. If you want a gun you are already in the free zone. Anything else just order when you want enough to go over the limit or suck it up, It was £12 last time I ordered
  16. Indeed. A lot of the pistols sold for Airsoft are also available in .177 calibre as Gas Pistols firing steel balls. You can buy them without a defence and no two tone over the counter
  17. A lot of websites aren't updated in any meaningful way. Best I have seen is Gunfire, they have an live stock control that updates the site as stuff goes in and out of stock. Most sites just have a manual system where it needs someone to go on and change the status when they can be bothered. Plus it is easier to leave an item on the site than it is to remove and re-add as it comes in and out of stock. LIt makes your site look bigger to have more items listed even if you don't have them.
  18. If we are going to have an AFUK meetup we need to choose somewhere more central to give those north of Watford a chance to get there.
