Unless I'm being a dumbass it's not there. Any idea if other brands other then kwa are compatible with KSC glocks?

Worked it out, lump gone from the loading/gas nozzle. Just need to find somewhere in the UK which sells them now!

Having some issues with my g19, when an empty mag is put in, everything does what it should. But when the mag has bb's in it the slide will only move 3/4 of the way forward and stop, looking inside it seems that the bb is only being moved about half way between mag and hop, just sort of falls off the side of the little ramp bit, which jams it. Anyone got any ideas? Can post pics if it helps.

I use blackhawk ones as well, velcro isn't long enough but other then that they're reasonable enough. They only fall down every now and then, usually because I've not done them up very well.

I saw an entire box of NiMH's go bang which was pretty impressive. Used to be part of an RC car racing club, some guy had made the bright decision to store all of his batteries in one of those smart looking metal briefcase things with electrical tape on the inside to insulate it. Tape got worn away, battery shorted and caught fire which in tern made the others catch fire and explode. Proper mullered the box!

Most of the problems seem to come from people accidentally charging them using the wrong settings, if you try to charge them as a NiMh they tend to go bang.

They do require a bit more care then Ni-Mh batteries, but they are an easy and very effective upgrade to any electric gun. A 7.4v lipo wont increase your rate of fire over a 9.6v Ni-Mh, but it will make trigger response much faster and they don't require any internal gun upgrades to use (unlike 11.1v). They also have the benefit of having a higher capacity for the size of battery. The downside is that you need a smart charger suitable for LiPo's, a good one can be found for about £35. You also need to do a little bit of reading beforehand to make sure you understand how to safely use them as an improperly charged battery can explode/catch fire, but as long as you charge it properly and don't puncture the battery, they're safe as anything. In regards to running them flat, if you get a decent capacity I very much doubt you'll ever run in to this. I use a 7.4v 2200mah mini type lipo in my FN2000 and after a full day it's never got anywhere near dangerously low levels. Edit: You may want to consider changing battery connectors at the same time if you're using tamiya types, it's not really necessary but either Deans or XT60's can handle a higher current and may provide a very small performance increase.

Multiland looks pretty cool, and I'm loving the contrast between camo and a bright pink gun! M95 looks awesome, know any good places to get it at a reasonable price?

Complete noob when it comes to camouflage, but I want to change my slightly rubbish mix of MTP and DPM for something more consistent and (hopefully) effective at hiding me in woodland. Flecktarn seems to be a fairly solid choice and I've seen people use it effectively, plus it's relatively cheap and easy to find, but are there better choices out there for staying hidden?

7.4v lipo nun-chuck.

Getting it into a holster isn't so bad, the problem would be running around with a suppressed holstered pistol and also trying to draw it with any urgency.

Don't think I'll be getting one for the Mp5, got it as I wanted a very compact backup, adding another 18cm on to the front of it would be a pain. Think I'll pass on the pistol as well, they're generally not that useful in the first place and once you've made it the same length as an SMG it would just be more trouble then it's worth. But on the other hand it would look cool...must avoid temptation!

Cant decide if I like the look of honey badgers or not, looks kind of skinny. Doesn't help that the way he's holding it is just plain daft for an airsoft gun.

Finally got myself a suppressor!

I've heard nothing good about dboys scars, you have to spend quite a bit more to get a good one. Some of the better starter guns are g&g combat machines, CYMA AK's (higher number models) and SRC G36's.

Hopefully it'll be fine, but you do have to be a bit careful with Lipo's, quite a few people have had extensive property damage because of them.

Keep an eye on it while charging, if it suddenly balloons up, get it outside on to something non flammable asap. Then dump it in salt water.

To start with, if you ran your Lipo flat, it may well be dead. Or dangerous. Possibly a bit of both. Lithium polymer batteries should never be run flat, it can permanently kill the cells and in worst case scenarios potentially make them catch fire/explode. In regards to the gun damage, shake/bang anything enough and it'll break eventually. Depends how hard you hit it!

Mate of mine who's a lanky git wears (what I think is) a surplus shirt, doesn't keep you as cool as a ubacs but I think there's more choice in sizes. The one he's got must have at least 26-27" sleeves but isn't a massive size.

Just measured the arms of my British army issue MTP ubac, sleeves came in at about 24" for medium.

From my limited understand you'd then be producing a RIF, bypassing the bit where you need a valid reason for purchasing it, which is what the entire system kind of revolves around. Yeah, doesn't make a huge amount of sense. The laws are a bit mad, but I suppose they sort of do their job..

Ended up buying the ICS Mp5A5 off of Finius, nice compact gun, just the sort of thing I was after. Thanks for the advice guys.

As much as saving all that money seems tempting, getting a rif delivered from outside the EU just seems like it could easily turn out to be more trouble then it's worth.
