Sitting Duck

I have not nor will I buy a box of unknown crap I have always known what crap I was buying I do not need a target, gun and loads of crappy bb's I will not not be able to hit the target past 15ft anyway coz the gun is so $hit and that is if the bb's don't jam the gun anyway...... To anybody thinking of taking a gamble may I suggest a few possible considerations for airsofting on the ultra cheap (please note I don't work for these guys or on commision - still think they are muppets but better muppets btw) I'd rather take a chance on these than some mystery crap box: http://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/mprxda1-h-k-mp6-sd5-aeg-us-navy-seals.html?filter_name=mp5&page=1#.VbkKcLXp8i4 http://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/mprxda2-mp5-sd5-electric-airsoft-starter-gun-metal-gear-box.html?filter_name=mp5&page=1#.Vbm-_bXp8i4 (note busted charging handle) http://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/airsoft-gun/refurbished-airsoft-guns-refurb=101.html?product_id=1024#.Vbm_r7Xp8i4 DISCLAIMER - I'm not saying get the above coz they are best gunz evaaaaahhhhhhh but merely pointing out if I was gonna take a gamble I'd sooner go for these than figgin' lame ar$e box of crap use RC10 if it still works to get a further 10% off to sweeten the "risk" any change left over - then buy crap bb's, lame ar$e target, sling that snaps, springer pistol that breaks first time (plus when you chuck the pistol down the garden you realise your arm has better range than that springer pistol) Well - excuse the pun, in fact some Well stuff isn't too too bad often they have some cheapo JG internals Well - that is what I would consider before signing up for a box of crap and realising the best thing from the mystery box was in fact the cardboard box it all came in - actually that is a bit harsh - lol but really reckon in general them mystery boxes should be avoided and know what cheapo crap you can expect to receive

jeez more ukara/vcra stuff lets be real - main thing is not to be a dick with ya gun so if you paint/tape or wtf you like with it it don't matter really before anybody starts quoting friggin paragraph 6 section 7 bollox.... when you leave the site then the gun "should" be transported in a bag/box etc..... so it ain't on show - so nobody is gonna know or care really unless you you gotta a firearms ban - whoooa wrong thread soz jeez & more jeez, it is really about how you conduct yourself with your toy gun tape/paint or friggin' 2-tone - above all don't wave it about in public whatever colour it is

try running an 18 + 15 + 8yr old = very expensive you have such "fun" ahead of you and yes its true it does get worse soz for derailing thread as per usual.... a couple of crappy guns and some neodym motors to break them with this week (big spares order will be needed soon no doubt)

Your'e screwed m8 If you wanna go in for expensive luxuries like kids Your skirmish budget has take a major nose dive Next it will be: "Don't you think you need to act a bit more mature now you are a parent" Show me a bloke who is truely truthfully honest and mature and responsible.... Yeah - he's gay (No offense to anybody just being typical pratt as usual)

Not on my s/hand Raider.... The crane stick still has a number of vivid visual specs still on it, the Raider ris was a ball ache indeed but was my personal mission to get that green crap off 99.999% Still keeping the numbers on the ris rail Worse one ever was a JG A47 sniper Jeez that was mega coated on that I just sanded the whole thing off of thick blue paint leaving the original fake plastic wood underneath. Sort of mahogany looking but is as smooth as a baby's ar$e now

Epsom often take you out first game in parties of 3 with a regular. Often your party diminishes quickly so head back n pick up a different 2 players so you mix it up a bit getting to know layout n other players. Don't move too slowly or you get shot by the next party of 3 following you but good way to break the ice

electric pistols - only if you get 'em real cheap under £50 at TWG etc... get 1 or 2 ( or more ) primary aeg's, then decide on pistol/dmr/sniper etc....

was that JambWow in the tractor & leaning on amphibian ??? deffo worth a look to get a shot at him

conversion kit probably - bummer if ya run dry and wish you had the bolt sniper I look at the sr25 but then I remember mrs duck threat - no promise of what she will do so I pass on that one for now

think that is coz they regard 18+ as being responsible enough to understand med mind you I've seen plenty of irresponsible adults to be fair - not sure where I fit in

Tactical Warfare Airsoft - cheap a little basic but on my doorstep (so got me by my bb's I guess) have been to epsom tunnels - darkness redefined Mall but at a show n never got to play a quick game not sure if I'll make to Sandpit - maybe too serious for this noob

get the cocking handle aid for svd and that is one long mofo @ 1.2m scope - if you go for authentic one ain't cheap (wtf - its your toy gun use what ya want) often barrels in there may be 550-590 max but good thing is the bolt svd's use aeg springs aeg svd still come with full auto and semi - well mine did tbh - get an ak with 455-469mm tbb barrel on the 349.99fps limit running well - think you will kick a few M4 ar$es LOL - just beat me to some of the svd stuff

bummer laughable thing is though - if he was a hardened criminal no matter what and he wanted to get hold of a firearm - would he really give a flying f*ck ??? (and could probably obtain a firearm quicker than ukara or any of us buying a RIF) all this does is stop somebody legally obtaining a firearm or airsoft or friggin Nerf gun I'm amazed that was on the list sorry to hear after making all these enquiries that it is still a no no (not the hair remover) is a crossbow a firearm, or is he ok to buy a set of carving knives ? soz but think they are being ultra cautious and a safe "no chance m8" hope the ban soon lifts and he can keep his nose clean and put all this behind him best wishes

blow me.... now if ever there was a gun needing a peq box or a rewire to rear that has gotta be one of them.... why on earth didn't they just supply it as a short twin stick nunchuck lipo up there ?? http://www.fire-support.co.uk/ give them a call and see what they might suggest as they are very helpful ics guru's

pisstake aside see this http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/forum/18-electric/ pics req so use imgur & read this: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/26544-how-to-attach-pictures/ also you "might" get lucky flogging it on zero one forums main problem is you ain't got many posts so potential buyers may wish to know where you are to say cash n collect perhaps ??? maybe even take to your local site for final sale or something (just my observations - not knocking ya gun as I got a couple myself)

sorry - no offense but kinda warrants it a bit:

nah its the ott mofo special import version that fires mini bfg's note the cheddite blanks to be used as ammo in there I'm kidding btw

it is a light dusting - probably done with an airbrush I reckon considering the amount of toning they do yup they could give a couple of coats of blue but it may screw it if the 2nd or 3rd goes a bit crap if they varnish it then that is more crap to remove to get to the blue underneath (plus it may give it a gloss or matt - but still alter the sheen or finish of some of gun also bear in mind not many places have the 30th left anyway and £150 + 2-tone fee is still a good option to a Ford Raider (nothing wrong with Raider but the 30th is deffo a worthy consideration for a metal gun for such little extra)

if you want a REAL challenge get a 2-tone from Zero One those mofo's boat that green crap on reckon more 12yr old's will be hitting AirsoftWorld for 2-tone's now and lets face it - the snakeskin pattern was always gonna be a little dubious if it really 101% met the vcra guidelines - which imho it don't say IF at a split second glance well no way like a JBBG vivid dayglo orange/black gun

cheers - often the crane stocks have "about" a 20mm tube by "about" 125mm or 5 inch length for 2 sticks BUT it is so difficult to just say this or that will work for deffo unless I start digging through the exact gun type (which a number of my guns now have stubby's on them instead) some can go up to about 21 - maybe 22mm at a mega push - a cyma seems to a little larger & square rather than round space Nothing worse than buying a battery that you find out it JUST don't wanna fit - done that classic so where ever possible - try to make up a bit of cardboard/wood - anything a similar size n shape and see if that will fit plus a bit of room for wires etc....... a pig of battery gun mofo has to be the mp5k - its long thin tube that really has a max of about 18mm tube plus some stick batteries with a thick wire running down outside of the old skool nimh seem to stop many batteries that should fit reall pain in butt stock that gun for batteries

what one - that links to the list of their 7.4v lipo's any particular one you thinking of ?

read also this: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/ a lot of "upgrades" may not be an absolute must do first time around. often the piston o-ring is $hit and sometimes it can be real $hit - new o-ring is like 50p or a pack of 6 or 10 for £2 AoE is very rarely done - on the cheap neoprene rubber washers will suffice for most builds unless you are smashing high springs at high speeds stock gears, piston and perhaps piston head often are ok - if the gears don't skreech and piston ain't stripped just a better o-ring will suffice if anything an o-ring nozzle will help and if cylinder head is ok a few wraps of plumbers ptfe tape will improve seals (or maybe get a double o-ring cylinder head and see how a new head n nozzle fit together) any parts you replace from the few crap stock bits you might change like I said make sure you FULLY compare them side by side and check how nicely they fit together & mesh/operate sounds really easy - it kinda is but at first you tend to think all stuff will just drop in there and work just as good if not better the sad fact is the TM compatible crap these parts are supposed to be comes in 3 forms: 1 - yup goes in there lovely and no adjustment or tweaking needed - not as common as you might think 2 - goes in but is a bit long or snags a bit and a bit if file/sanding required to a lot of work getting it to fit (the more parts you replace very often you will have to check-double check everything every step of the way) 3 - bollox is that gonna go in there coz either the part is a duff pile of crap or the box you are trying to put it in is one of them weird not so TM compatible boxes - so it ain't going in there no matter what ya do to it the more you do the more you learn this first hand and you really need mainly 75% care and say 25% decent bits to get most stuff sining better than stock - even some old crappy spare bits n bobs reassembled in ya gun will give good results a couple of more times messing about in there and you will wonder what all the fuss was about think you might have started to run before you could walk doing a complete strip & high speed rebuild with some bits that maybe not quite working out all prefectly running together 101% without a bit of modding here n there. no worries - if you getting all stressed take a step back, look up some info or post up here we have all been there - don't be afraid to take pics - easy to figure out wtf that tiny thing goes loads of tips and methods you will discover on your own and also learn from others still learning - when I stop learning that is when stuff gets boring to me but for now keep the learning curve going upwards

plug in mosfet - usually are the burst wizards like avacado they do NOT protect your contacts at all !!!! (you still have a massive amount of juice being "switched" on contacts - arcing & carbon and burning away) only exception to this is the Kong burst mosfet BUT you MUST hardwire any fet in - including the Kong Kong will work 90% of features - need to work at nasa to fully ubderstand all the program features on that mofo it will work of a sort in plug/play mode but like I said it HAS to be hardwired like any fet to protect your contacts Mosfets are used to turn on/off the high juice without the contacts burning out they are fed a small current that turns on the fet and unleashes the higher juice to the motor the switch contacts are switching the fet on and off, so they remain in a much healthier state They can be wired in using a few different ways either splicing and using the old wiring or as I often do rewire it with better wire and a dedicated mosfet feed/return or supply/signal wires Unfortunately on V2 gearboxes you have to open it up to resolder the switch contacts- even if using most of existing wire (V3's can be "fetted" without opening gearbox up) But it is very wise to perform a little service anyway - Angle of Engagement, regrease, check/improve seals etc... these can be done whilst you have box open to solder in new wiring layout for mosfet. Your running 11.1v in say a reasonable stock ICS so my rough maths you are getting into low 20's on stock setup with 11.1v so it makes sound sense to look into all this for your gun to last and perform more efficiently FireStorm fet for £10 - gotta be one of smallest fets out there and has thermal fuse protection very good & cheap fet for people who don't wanna build their own 3034.... http://www.firestormsystems.com/shop/electronics/mosfet-switch.html however - the rest is gonna be down to you if you wish to take the plunge or take it to a tech to do - but if you can solder - or practice a bit first with a few old boards good solder - not crap from poundland, a bit of time and it isn't that tricky quick little service whilst box is open - taking your time you shouldn't disturb too much then she "should" go back together quite well with little possible dramas how the fet is wired is up to you how you see fit, front/rear wired you can splice and use most of wiring and if room looks tight on rear wired boxes you can just run a thin signal wire back to fet externally on outside of box (did this for my first fet but now I usually just rewire the whole thing with better wire and neater job I think) if you are new to all the gearbox malarky then I strongly suggest you research a bit on opening boxes first You are a little lucky in that the ICS is split gearbox so you can get the lower box open without too much of the box bursting open and bits flying everywhere like many first timers (inc mine) so yeah google up and do some research before you jump in and go nutz

honestly get a box of them mid caps they are the dogz nutz the picky 416 loves them and I may have to get another box they joy of unleashing bb hell without the winding/feed issue/winding etc..... you can get them from: http://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/armalite-140rd-m4-mid-caps-box-set-10-grey-m16-magazine-10476-p.asp or if ya want 85rnd ones: http://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/armalite-magazine-m4-m16-85rd-box-set-mag-grey-x-10-mid-cap-10475-p.asp not used the 85 rnd ones but if they are like the 120/140 ones they should be very good indeed if ya buy a nut/bolt or any other item - you get 10% off and delivery is free (my favourite price) bollox - seems like they have drpped the 10% discount and free delivery very recently used to be a 10% discount code but can't see where that would be entered on the site's recent update ah well they have dropped price as they were £55 free del so now the 140rnd box is £50 + £5 delivery so it kinda woreks out the same I guess - still good mags/price so it is worth considering grabbing a box and maybe sell on half on fleabay or something (shame they don't do say 5 of each and you should be sorted for normal skirmish or more serious low capicity mil sim sites) but if those M4 mags don't work in your gun then you gotta be trying them in an AK or G36 or something
