    Cyber Gun Colt M1911A1 100th Anniversary

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Posted

    What I am going to do is allocate myself around £300 at the end of the month as it is when I get paid and my ukara comes through. Then I will go to patrolbase and test out a few AEG's and purchase one as I would much rather prefer an AEG to a pistol and I would like something decent. I will maybe get a few extra mags and a BFG aswell.

    So I went to Patrolbase with a friend last night to buy a tactical vest and look at a potential 1st weapon.

     

    I had my eye on the skorpion which they sell (removed off of website, still sell in store). It's and AEG with around 290 fps and NBB. I shot it, quite accurate and felt good.

     

    Then he told me an ideal cqb weapon and 1st gun that I would love would be this http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-pistols/cyber-gun-colt-m1911a1-100th-anniversary.htm. It's a GBB Co2. I fired it and it felt amazing to shoot and to hold, it was robust and rigid and its an iconic weapon.

     

    Have any of you guys had any experience with this weapon? I am really considering it for my 1st weapon as it felt amazing.

     

    What do you think, I will get it around the end of the month when payday comes :)

    They're great, yeah. If you need it under 350FPS they'll fit a Guarder SP100 spring for just the price of the spring. Free shipping for a spend of over about £60 too. Only thing you will need on top is a good battery - the 1100mAh one that comes with it is only useful as an emergency backup - ie a backup to your backup. But 1 1600mAh Vapex / VP stick battery will get you skirmishing - componentshop.co.uk £12.40 + P&P. Can't comment on the 8Fields batteries twg sell as i've never used them, but buying 1 would save you the P&P and if it's sh*t I reckon twg would refund you. They seem pretty keen to establish themselves as good for customer service - a bit on my CM.048 broke (the handguard takedown lever) and it isn't covered by their warranty apparently, but their tech is sending me a replacement anyway.

     

    TBH if you're happy to buy an AK and can afford the extra, the CM.048M is a much better gun and still on offer from twg for £148-odd - still needs a replacement battery though. The chargers that CYMA guns come with can be used perfectly well so long as you use the App (link at the top of forum pages) to calculate how long to charge for and either use a timer plug or set an alarm to stop you overcharging the battery.

    I see they are based in poland.

     

    When I get my UKARA would I just order from them or would I have to provide my UKARA ID as I would not want to get it destroyed by customs.

     

    I dont really order from abroad much so im still fairly new to this.

    Get an AEG for your first gun. Unless you're minted of course, in which case, pistols wise I agree it sounds like £80 well spent (inc shipping and gas). But £80 would buy you most of this and you'd get a lot more use out of it.

    It seems like a good deal but for where I go I couldnt use it, 350 fps max limit because cqb.

     

    Also is taiwangun a good company because you guys seem to link them a lot, I dont know a lot of retailers and I try to stick to UK retailers if poss but if they are good i might consider purchasing off of them.

    If you're after that one in particular don't get it off eBay. Go to their website where it's cheaper:

    http://www.epicmilitaria.com/product.php/3580/olive-green-tactical-vest

     

    Same thing, more expensive on eBay though.

    Thanks will have a look.

     

    About to pull the trigger on this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Paintball-Goggle-Proto-Switch-EL/dp/B0020R399A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396991640&sr=8-2&keywords=paintball+mask

     

    You think it will hold up to 350 fps, it has good write ups and good reviews and it seems decent.

     

    Should I get it?

    An MP40 would work well in CQB, it is short, has a folding stock and was basically designed for CQB. If it's your favourite gun of all time, I would suggest it would be silly not to consider it. The only downside would be lack of a torch and being stuck with just ironsights.

    I would like rails on my 1st gun. I am going to get an mp40 in the future.

     

    Is there anything that you could recommend that is cheap (not taccy), reliable and has good reviews to get me started. I would really appreaciate it.

     

    Also what do you guys think of this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Olive-Green-TACTICAL-VEST-Combat-Assault-Airsoft-Army-Molle-Attachment-Rig-Top-/181248867418?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Sports_Clothing_LE&hash=item2a33463c5a is it good or can I get a better tac vest for the money? I am in the market for one and there are soo many to choose from.

    This is a good pistol for use at a CQB site. It is very cheap and not the most robust but it will get you kills and looks awesome. There was a whole thread devoted to MK23's recently.

     

    Do you intend to only ever do CQB or are you thinking of trying other sites for variation? If you want to do mainly CQB you cannot go wrong with an MP5, the benefit of them is that they are compact and parts are easy to get. but if you want something different then they're not going to cut it.

     

    Hmm just looking around for something that will get you noticed and found this

    It's got the benefit of being an M4 for ease of maintenance but looks very unusual and would be perfect for CQB.

     

    Other ideas: WW2 sub machine guns? Thompson, MP40 (Sten wouldn't work as it would need a mosfet to make it single shot)

    AK47 with folding stock?

    Was looking at that thread. It's really really tempting.

     

    I like the stubby m4's but im not sure yet, I love ak's. I would like a ak74u or short ak47 but they are bit hard to get hold of and might be a bit too pricey for me at the moment. As for ww2 guns the mp40 is my favourite weapon of all time, but it wouldnt be that ideal in a cqb arena.

     

    How about ex British Army gear, is cheap, it works and you can buy it off ebay/any surplus store.

     

    I got all my old DPM gear from the Royal Navy when I left, but bought a DPM assault vest off ebay for around £20 and DPM under armour shirt for around the same, the assault vest will hold a shed load of mags and has enough spare pockets for spare battery, bag of BBs, speedloader etc.

    Already got dpms, boots and a kevlar helmet. Just need webbing and a rig and other stuff.

    At halo mill (where I Skirmish) I always rent out the g36c as I much prefer it over the m4's. Due to cqb I would like something small and I have always liked skorpions however it seems that you guys say that it is not ideal, I would like a good weapon but I want a unique one, what about a h&k ump45? They have good reviews and look promising.

    EDIT: I am aware of the dupe post, when I hit submit it seems it has put 2 posts on and I apologize for that however I cannot seem to remove the other thread.

     

    Hello my name is Cropzy!

     

    I am new to Airsofting, well not new as in brand new as I have skirmished a few times but I am still fairly new.

     

    I understand the UKARA laws and gun handling and discipline too, I have been trained on 7.62 and .22 rifles when I was in the cadets and anyone who abuses RIF's is stupid and should learn the laws.

     

    I get my UKARA in around 20 days from now and I am in the market for an electric AEG or AEP, I have been looking at this http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft/asg-scorpion-vz61.htm#.U0Pg4fldU1Q for my 1st weapon, avoid/buy? Any reccomendations?

     

    I skirmish at a place called Halo Mill http://www.halomill.com/ which is in huddersfield, I have been 3 times and I plan to go much much more as it is local to me it is CQB so it is limited to 350 fps and semi auto.

     

    I have also been looking at chest rigs and masks and gloves, I have these in mind.

    I have boots and DPM's as I used to be in the cadets a few years ago.

     

    Is there any tips you guys could share and anything you could recommend as i want to take this hobby seriously and get a good collection and eventually travel over the UK going to different arenas.

     

    Anything would be grateful!

     

     

    Cropzy.
