So I keep hearing and reading that Propane is significantly cheaper than green gas, yet when I do the maths I get different results .... WE Green Gas £9 for 300g = 3 pence per gram of gas (900/300) Coleman Propane £10 for 465g = 2.15 pence per gram of gas (1000/465) A saving of 0.85 pence per gram of gas used. Plus the requirement to lube and use the adapter at £15 Means that of those 0.85 pence saved, it actually takes 1765g which equates to just under 4 bottles, to recoup the cost of the adapter from the 0.85p savings. (1500/0.85) So you only start saving money from the 5th bottle? And then at about a third off the cost of WE Green Gas. Now I'm not an economist, nor do I confess to be great at maths but 0.85 ppg doesn't appear to be a fantastic saving to me. Have I messed up the maths or is this another air soft myth busted?

A Second Hand G&G EBB M4, I was told it only needed a new fuse and your good to go. hunted high and low across the entire of Manchester to find a 20a mini radio fuse, ended up ordering one from T'internet, charged the battery up, plugged it in, ready to soot and ..... click, click, click flippin gearbox was jammed! So I had a crash course in learning to fix gearboxes before I had even fired an AEG. Still a good little gun, currently being transformed into a SR25.

Eat lots of carrots?

That's a perfect answer thank you.

The only picture I seem to have of my F800R, on a very cold and misty ride up the cat and fiddle.

+3 for DPM, job done, cheap and plentiful. Ebay On a similar note, (sorry to hijack) are there different types of DMP trousers? The ones I have say lightweight inside and are very loose and baggy in the crotch and legs, yet perfect on the waist. My surplus Multicam pants from the same store are a much heavier, thicker and more slim fitting. Did they make a heavier DPM or were they all lightweight? As I understand it the old plain olive lightweight trousers were used for non combat operations such as medics, cooks ect, but were done away with when DMP was new kid on the block.

well today I thought I would upgrade the wiring on my AEG from the standard G&G 0.5mm wiring to a nice 14g silicone wire from component shop, it looked really good and professional, until it wouldn't fit inside the bloody gearbox! I had better order some 16g then.

I have done a fair bit of research on them and have yet to find anyone who has said they are sh*t. There are plenty of people who shouldn't ever be using a GBB gun reviewing the G&G guns slating the body for being plastic and moaning about not being able to buy hi cap magazines for it, but none seem to berate the performance, quite the contrary from my reading. We all know gas guns are very much like marmite. At the end of the day every GBB is a fairly basic system that is replicated across most of the gas guns, there isn't a lot of new or innovation between any of the brands, GHK have fitted it into a gearbox shape that drops into a reciever, I predict that they are still the same principle parts that would be going into their normal guns, just in a different package. The main difference I can see is that it doesn't seem to have as big a sliding recoil like other Gas guns do. The thing to remember is that this is an older design, from 2011 / 2012, tweaks and improvements have been made since from the things they have learnt from making and developing the G5 and the Hepatitis (or whatever it was called) There are videos showing it push over 100 shots from a single mag, just as the G5 does. At the end of the day, Its an £80 bit of kit, I'm not expecting the world, but it should be a good way to judge if I genuinely like gas, or if i'm just romanticising before spending £500+ on a G5 and a set of mags. I will be sure to give it a full and honest review once its arrived, and be assured if it is indeed sh*t (although I highly doubt it)I will tell you. [Edit to Add] it also seems to lack the overtly functioning bolt system, that some other brands do. I predict that is to keep size and complications down allowing it to fit different brands of receivers. In all honesty that is a big plus for me, how many times do we read about bolts and guides bending or snapping because they are made of paper, people spend as much money on steel parts as the did on the gun in the first place.

It's airsoft ..... The overwhelming majority have learnt their field craft from blackhawk down. If people want to play dress up then let them play dress up.

Nowhere, although if you are a legitimate retailer, there is no reason you shouldn't be.

Something to bare in mind with the Mini Mav is that although it has a small footprint, its still designed for adults, and 'murican adults at that. If it does adjust to your child size then you will have a LOT of leftover straps dangling flapping and getting in the way. And although the mav is a very good bit of kit, it lacks the refinement of many others, the straps are simply straps, if you load it up heavily they do dig in, and they do have a habit of riding up with a good tug. I think you will struggle to find reasonably priced water bottle holders, and if you do they will be very bulky to have on your chest. The current fashion are for camelbacks which again is excessive for a 40 min airsoft game. I like to keep about 1500 bbs in a zipable baggy, rolled and tied with an elastic band in my thigh pocket. If you have bbs jingling in a bottle you may as well carry an air horn and neon sign telling everyone where you are. For two mags, a chest rig seems excessive personally, even a Mini Mav. I have had a lot of success with two fast mags on my trouser belt at my left hip. You can get them for about £15 delivered from ebay. Backpacks can be had on ebay for <£20, but quality is hit and miss. you will be looking at spending over £100 for a decent one, but if you look after a cheep Chinese clone it could serve you well. If i'm honest a belt kit does sound exactly like what you need. Just my 2c And yes its the tall, 30rd one you need.

So can someone please scientifically explain to me why a £30 imax / turnigy charger is significantly better than a standard £15 balance charger? .....

What do you need to carry? If it's just three mags the the tactical tailor tripple mag pouch is your best plan. Condor do a triple with triple pistol pouches for £21, uk tactical are selling a lot of tan pouches for pretty good prices too. Tell us what you need and we can build you a rig. I'm a fan of the condor recon rig, for £40 you get everything in a nice package, but they sell out really quickly, 2 weeks I think they had them for last time. Good places to look are military 1st and uk tactical, and tactical kit. Also keep an eye out on ebay.

No it won't! A few unsavouriness running around with toyguns is not a reason to destroy a multi million pound industry on a whim. The government genuinely couldn't care less, they have got much much much more important things to be trying to ban. To put some perspective to it , cars, motorbikes, alcohol, air fresheners and toasters all cause significant more deaths, danger and drain government resources than airsoft could in a million years, but they show no mention of them been banned. It's very paranoid and naive to think they will be able to ban airsoft.

I may have got a bit giddy and bought a GHK M4 GBB Conversion.

UKARA has absolutely no legal standing or basis. It's a union on retailers who hold a database of names of players who wish to be registered and defined under their criteria. The shop can legally sell to anyone over 18 and with a valid reason to own one. If the shop is prepared to take your word that it is to be used for skirmishing or any other legit defence, then that is their prerogative, there is no requirement in law for you to PROVE you have a valid defence, simply stating it is enough. However, legit airsoft retailers like to use the UKARA as a way to control and regulate who has access to the RIFs in order to keep them and the sport out of the mass media and public eyes.

I have found that the lowest on the hierarchy are the ones that shout the loudest about those appearing to "act up". the non paras who scream and fuss about wearing a beret, or the privates complaining about rank. Those that are higher up the chain seem to take a less serious view and are a lot more relaxed about some things. Arn't the guys at firesuport both ex forces, and look at them, they almost run the British airsoft industry.

A bullet being fired from a gun and a projectile falling at terminal velocity are two very different things.

I like this kid. To be fair I have seen well established "experienced" players use the marshals as both cover and as a way to change position to the opposite side of the field dubiously.

It's a shame really, its a good site and pretty innovative with their ideas and the guys that are running it have their heart in the right place .... they just fail to pull it off well enough. Their resident evil game is really well though out and fun, but let down by the shoddy organisation, communication and 12 year old marshals with a superiority complex who want to marshal and play as the team leader. When I have played, shooting was allowed on the stairwell, and blind throwing a BFG was the preferred tactic. Their underarm knife throw kill is a bit controversial too. But at least they are thinking outside the box and not just following the same monotonous rules that the majority of sites seem to copy and paste.

The concept of that grip is to positively "drive" the muzzle onto multiple targets. In competition shooting it's been proven that shooters can get on target significantly quicker than with more traditional grips.

Funnily enough, I was toying with the idea too, For integral suppression you have two options, a short barrel, with a suppressor. I would guess at 9 inch barrel with a 4 inch suppressor and a 12 inch ras to make it poke out a bit. Or get one of the suppressor with removable ends that have foam inside, remove one end, slide the foam over the barrel and the silencer onto that. It won't fall off, but will be loose, a drop of aryldite would secure it. Was mine before I went in a different direction. The ICS stinger looks like the option for a stock £45 on ebay last time I checked, will try to find the link. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191124544849?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Is there a real world honey badger, as in a production gun, you could buy or is it a custom / COD fantasy gun?

What's wrong with just black?

I suspect she is talking shite like she normally does.
