Try paintball, guys.

The MEU is not bad, but the thin magazine doesn't hold much gas. Hi-capa is one of, or maybe the best Marui handgun. You can attach anything and customize it any way you want.

Yeah, as Lozart and macko-ricsi said. Check the contacts and if the trigger moves the moving part at all. You might have to remove the outer assembly of the gearbox, which is not exactly a simple thing on an M14 but if you keep an eye on the little springs (including the one in the safety switch) you should be fine.

Hi-capa is the way to go.

Except the Marui Beretta (M9). The slide does tend to break.

I've been using glasses in the last 7 years for airsoft. I would only wear goggles for CQB only games, but most of the time I use glasses even then. Never had any problem with it. Zekler 75 is the best for me.

If it has the blue hopup rubber, change that to something better. Clean the barrel, the hopup and the gearbox. Re-lube it with proper grease, re-shim it. If the spring that pushes the hopup to the GB is too stiff, cut it a bit shorter. Out if box it will shoot between 360-390 so you'll need a bit weaker spring too. If you want to learn something, try to shim it until it makes no gear noise when shooting.

I dress in a lot of layers of clothes. Mostly my normal stuff, but I start with more layers in the morning and as it gets warmer, I take some off before I start to sweat. Under about 5C I wear thermal underwear.

Imagine how much better it could have been.

Don't. Silicone reacts with the rubber, making it soft in an uneven way. Use liquid soap to help putting it together.

Red dot.

Maple leaf has a bigger contact point. That means that it can handle heavier BBs than normal hopup rubbers. Heavier BB means better accuracy. If you use the same BBs there is not much difference between any of the quality hopup rubbers. If the barrel is not bent or scratched and is clean, the hopup rubber is clean, the hopup is fixed so it can't wobble - so basically if the gun is in good shape, then the one thing that really affects accuracy is the BB. If you have a good working gun and the right BB, then buying precision barrels, cnc hopups, H nubs, any GB internal parts will only affect accuracy in such a tiny amount that it won't be noticeable in game.

Also, check the angle of engagement.

If you don't have experience soldering battery cells you probably shouldn't try it on a good battery. It is not that hard to do, but you shouldn't heat the cells too much, but it takes quite a lot of heat to get the solder on the cell properly. It needs a little practice and a good soldering iron. Buy a 7.4 lipo that fits, if you can.

No problem with that. I don't run either. And if you're a sniper, you really shouldn't.

Should be better. Clean the barrel and the hopup with rubbing alcohol with he cleaning stick. Also use god quality heavy BBs, like madbull 0.40g. A good sniper gun should hit a head size target at 50m. A good unmodified sniper gun should hit it on 40m at least, with every shot.

There is actually quite a lot you can do to make an AEG quiet, but that's a high art of airsoft magic. It needs deep understanding of airsoft guns and lots of experimenting and disassembly.

Yes. The EN166 F means that it has the impact resistance we need. (B is even stronger)

I think in taiwan or hong kong there is a sport where they shoot at coins at about 10 yards with highly accurate rifles. As far as I know those guns don't even have a hopup to get even more accuracy. An upgraded bolt action airsoft sniper gun should hit a head sized target at 50 yards. I would suggest a Marui VSR-10. That is the most accurate stock sniper gun and for yard shooting you can leave it as it is. You will need some good quality BBs for it and that's it. AEGs and GBBRs are less accurate and need more maintenance.

Under about 30cm it makes a bit difference. Above that it doesn't matter.

Chrono?

I'm not sure if green gas is cheaper.

Pet bottles are too thin for that IMHO. Use polycarbonate. (That's what protective glasses/goggles are made of) 2mm thick is enough.

If you unscrew the side, you can remove the batteries and charge them in a normal charger. They are AA or AAA I can't remember.
