Sitting Duck

LOL - got 2 of them and they are crap, yup they fire at 240 with .20's or maybe nudge near 300 if using 0.12's but they go everywhere.... yup I thought they was ok but then I got a real gun - G&G = 330 on .20's at very best you can only use for cqb - on open woodland you would get totally owned - I did go to a cqb site but TWA lost their urban site now only got woodland and would be crap to use there. At best the b500a1 is garden target shooting but not if ya garden or target is under 75ft away, and you can't upgrade stuff coz they don't use the usual proper gearbox or motor but cheapo plastic crap and motor that is weaker than scalextric motor. yes an airsoft gun but only just about at a push - well heavy shove to be precise

I and sure many others on here will say G&G Carbine or Raider is a great start yup it is a M4 but a very well built one for the money, plastic but not ya usual cheap HongKong rubbish - no sir This is quality Taiwanese Enginnering as Del Boy Trotter would say..... Seriously - M4 with 300 to 450 or so magazines on a well built gun with decent gearbox You may like MP5's but has smaller capacity mags of say 200 or AK47 with bigger 500 or 600 mags or G36 with say 350 - 450-ish mags They are your main choices - a few others like SCAR - ohh I'm not gonna list all types them 4 are the main types people may choose as their primary there are others but once you deviate from the bulk selling lines the price goes up (supply n demand I guess) me I think Raider for about £125 ish is great coz has rails already to mount stuff on be careful not get gas blowback - just a normal £125 G&G CM Raider will do now you gotta buy charger battery mask - probably mesh type, extra mags bb's etc... will probably take you up to £175 aprox your pistol could be used as a last ditch resort but normally pistols need to fire at 200fps rifles at 300fps to 350 - might be only 328fps or 100m/sec at your site it is not a £350 gun with £100 upgrades but will hopefully allow some chance and allow you to have a go and enjoy your day JBBG stuff at a proper site will not allow you to get near somebody picking you off before you can get near enough to shoot them and you will get the hump Airsoft relies on a just a few things: safety - common sense so listen n respect marshals n other players - yup even the bell ends fair play - if you get hit once you are dead - not COD even in the foot you are HIT if in doubt then call it - it ain't a prize competition if we don't try to play fair then may as just stay at home and target shoot in garden so to speak enjoy yourself - don't worry if you K/D is negative, mine still is but often I can get 1 good kill or funny moment that outweighs any bad unfair judgement etc... you will play against regulars, good skilled people who know the layout so you can't expect to dominate on your first outing and it ain't COD - they know you are attacking and they will be expecting you or hunting you so it won't be a breeze soz about the long bit but many are suprised when their first day they are knackered and shot to $hit G&G I have learnt are the best starting guns - even mid range guns I think so it will be a wise decision you won't regret later like crap I have bought in past there are loads of places to buy from but unsure about Irish shipping etc.... Zero One * ProAirsoft * Land Warrior Airsoft * Patrol Base AirsoftWorld.net * FireSupport The * ones deffo sell G&G but atm a lot are out of stock due to summer and a big Airsoft Even over weekend but will give you an idea to look at G&G range - zero one probably and LWA have a massive choice of stuff on their sites so you may look n decide you are more a G36 or AK kind of person do a bit of research looking around and ask if unsure - maybe create a new thread though as this is getting way off topic now so soz to mods if they wanna clean up thread a bit or move stuff other makes are out there like models but G&G M4's are good and parts are easy n cheap to get hold of as they so popular soz for going on - there are numerous other threads and some new to airsoft guides written by much more wiser members have a browse n think about it S D

soz to ak2m4 - didn't know you was doing these box's for similar price m8 tried shs 110 in there butnow need to perhaps look/try a 105 or lame 110 or oomphy 100 spring - getting techy there now lmk if you can help and will try browse your site more often - my bad

dupe posting but more relevant than motor post I dropped a rear wired box in and changed out the 120 to a 110 spring fire a few tests and was hitting 360+ still - damn it !!! piston & cylinder seems too feckin' good m100 may gimme about 328 so it is bang on the money not got a m105 which might get to 346ish - note all this is speculation and was getting a bit late (or rather wife/mum is back and don't want us shooting indoors even into a cushion box chrono) rate of fire seems better - shimming couldn't be much worse than old box knackered src bushings and still with basic src motor in there.... got a couple of other springs to try out but atm looks like a m100 or m105 will be required to stay below 350fps - not gonna lop any coils off, or open up to chop a gear tooth of piston. might have to think about a couple of 105's and if/when cylinder/piston starts to wear or not so good seal then as a stop-gap measure I may be able to chuck in the 360fps m110 spring and stay around 350 for a while before trying to overhaul this tomtac box - probably bollox it but hopefully just maybe be a little more confident by time this needs a service/rebuild but yeah - sexy trigger and seems to be performing exactly on the button - alas pure guess work on other springs - all subject to real life tests as we know, shame the other half came back so more testing Monday perhaps

probably coz people were amazed it could actually get across the car park lucky kid got a good one I reckon

yeah got a high torque shs one atm but me & son are fighting over what gun it is gonna go in after seeing big dragon 160 - jeez it could pull a bus, I am thinking: ok m8 - you have the shs - I know what I may be trying out now... but after that motor upgrade the next thing is deffo the hop-up me thinks but just hop-up or sod it go for hop & barrel and be nearly done me thinks trouble is - where do you start/stop but sure hop-up is a must I have read still learning but always open to ideas and suggestions (apart from shut up) oh yeah then open it all up again for a mosfet - jeez

$hit for brains these youngsters..... is a good example of how younger players - well all players age don't come into it a good example of how NOT to act or transport your weapon ffs, I dread to think of the possible danger some dumb ar$e airsofter put themselves in if foolishly carrying a RIF out in public like that have heard numerous very very close calls in US and with recent shootings last week it wouldn't take much from a highly strung "shoot first check later" police officer - ffs use some common sense

Bet granny is strapped full of C4 too

Well I call my play style "tactical" - others tend to say "look at the old lazy bastid in a knackered heap" and today I am asking myself: Why is called a day or half-day "Walk-On" when we really spend it running around like fvck ???

BLOODY HELL - my eyes are getting worse better get to specsavers or the old folks home - fvck me are they mad for christ sake jeez that is bad - well almost as bad as my eyes - where's my white stick ffs

just another JBBG customer I guess showing off their new present bought by his dear old nan as he has been such a good little soldier FANTASTIC !!!!! solid metal n all that - looks like a 2/3 scale one I think (probably told by JBBG it was a cqb special ak46.5) silly sods with a gun on show but at least mag was removed well probably one of the real crap ones that bb's go into fake sight on top

us old farts - not quite there yet I tend to think but wonder if the old folks home wanna skirmish instead of bingo maybe??? well at least I might be able to shoot somebody at last as they try to "rush" me - lol "Easy there Ethel - ya may break ya hip again luv" - I joke but could be me one day (soon ???)

not bad, like the wires outside on mosfet one (always a wire decides to try n pop out when I have attempted to reassemble a box in past knocking out anti-rev etc...) well will see how long the tomtac ones last & if switch burns out quick coz no mosfet but they seem like same or similar higher end box's & much better build than say £40 box from china

its fine m8, didn't realise you was in Ireland - my inlaws from Wexford & lovely place Recently got a couple of the GC105 co2's - just like the blue/black ones from onlybbguns but in black - a spray job is never quite as good as real black http://gunfire.pl/eng_m_Airsoft-replicas_Gas-powered-guns-508.html GC105 was about 20 Euro's last week but I ordered about 2.5 weeks ago and jeez it was a pain for a delay shipment but got a couple of GC105's in black now & a Cyma 123 - supposed to be 1911 but way oversized they didn't have the glock - best cyma most say so thought cm123 would be good ergh it is a monster like a Desert Eagle - much bigger n fatter than the GC105's - but was a bit cheaper than UK so can't complain and was my bad choice I guess Sharing info, asking questions, having a laugh n chilling out is what forums are for in the end take no notice of me - everybody else ignores me anyway the funny thing is about jbbg ireland is some stuff can't be sold to uk - wot even with ukara ? and yet quite a bit comes from uk like I think your pistol but I can't buy it on uk jbbg with ukara yeah 135fps and I can't buy it with a valid defence ???

well if you can remember where you live - correct addy entered then it may arrive monday

well apart from a site/shop more local to you why not just go to gunfire.pl and totally fill ya boots if you can wait for it.... get a cyma from 53 Euro's - did have 20% off until last week so it could have been as low as 42 Euro's - in black btw

not sure if to go down lonex route or shs or big dragon motor then that should be gearbox/motor sorted n move onto hop-up n barrel Trouble is make my gun too good or accurate and I won't have much excuse to blame for being such a crap shot or pi$$ poor marksman or $hit sniper.....

atm I think it my son spending time with me out of pity/duty we used to play COD a bit but then he didn't wanna be held back n joined BF4 clans n crap wonder how long before I'm on my own or he is pushing me round in wheelchair if the lipo's fail (plus I'm too old for this $hit - just a half day walk-on running round does me in - lol,) That's a point why is called walk-on when ya spend most of it running like fvck ???

they are feckin' nice got front n rear one to replace shite SRC gearbox's (worn out bushings + crap trigger) 120 spring but the trigger - jeez it is much shorter travel n precise, 8mm bearings, yeah much better quick swap over with spring and you would be away.... offer 55 and see how you go, if I could rebuild a box as nice as that I'd be over moon but for money - quick change spring and delivered I don't think I would bother with a hongkong one if it arrives am in process of swapping these out from src to tomtac box and then maybe look at replacing src bushing with say 6mm bearings n look at moody trigger in one src box - but won't wanna spend too much time/money on src box but if I get one of them working as a spare I'd be happy I guess otherwise I'd just get one of them tomtac ones again

aye - my 14yr old son is my excuse, but dunno how long before they turn round and say - nah its ok dad I will go on my own or with m8's instead now Then I will be a real Billy No Mates then - well more than atm (so go easy on some lonely old sod next time you are shooting - it could be me)

welcome from an even older 47yr old aye my old hobby is now funding my new one us boys & our toys - something our ladies will never understand then again how many pairs of shoes/handbags they have and STILL they have to buy more yup - can't think how I never got into this sooner but welcome squire sounds like you will be into this for a while as your son grows up (oh well dear, I will just have to keep playing to keep ukara when little is old enough)
