Most G&G's are 330-ish so your gun is quite likely to pass the chrono I would think (most likely fine for most places unless it has been tweaked) UKARA - being on a database of 18+ big kids still playing with toys or Realistic Immitation Firearms (database that is used for RIF sales) a u18 can have a RIF if it is "gifted" - more stuff to row about You already have a "defense" as you have been playing - even if your UKARA entry is not completed just yet (But being on UKARA does make everything a lot easier & smoother) As been mentioned - use ya G&G ffs, but don't be a dick, get a case/bag etc... for it and a sprinkle of common sense when transporting it & general safety using it (don't get on public transport with it on show - just avoid raising concerns and use a bit of sense) As for turning up with a IF or RIF - I've lent my son's m8's both RIF & IF's signed disclaimer and they are good to go act responsibly and you will be fine

Well at a risk of getting flamed......... http://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/hg-104-m92f-beretta-hfc-hg-104-m92-gas-pistol.html?filter_name=HFC&page=3#.VM8tVixv7DI RC10 code should get you 10% off = £27 delivered for a 21/22 round Green Gas pistol (non-blowback - c'mon at that price I think xmas has long gone) that is what I would buy or rather have bought, can get extra mags for it (though to be truthfully honest - at that price for gun and what a mag in UK would cost you may as well pick up another pistol @ £27 - is what I did, can get them overseas but P&P is extra) doubt if you will get a better half decent performing pistol for that price in UK (2-tone so no ukara needed) Pistol is not an absolute must but then £27 looks good - not too heavy, though it ain't plastic (jeez some EAP's weigh a lot more than this GG pistol) but up to you what you get btw it is same gun as: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/SRC-GG-104B-Beretta-92-Replica-Gas-powered-Airsoft-pistol.html HFC - SRC - STTi, same meat different gravy difference is OnlyBBGuns will deliver it for £27 - BBG4Less want £30 + del (best I can offer at that place is "crazyeyes" 7% discount code) You don't "have" to go nutz on a custom DMR, a G&G M4 or Cyma AK will get you to a proper skirmishable level £130 G&G, £30 GG pistol and you can start to seriously hold your own out there (unless you suck at it like moi) But it is up to you what stuff you get, but after spending LOADS on cheaper stuff and seriously regretting it that is the stuff I would suggest you get, which should work very well and not give pi$$ poor performance To each their own as they say

250 on .12's, that is probably under 200 on .20's around the 200fps on .2's are the electric pistols - EAP not brilliant but that is about the power of them but they fire in all weathers (if battery is charged and also have nice 30+ mags + auto) EAP's start about £55-£75 and way lower fps than AEG or Gas pistols Green Gas - hit "aprox" 300 - 350 on .2's - most peeps/sites like this type stays usually within site limits, some cheap to some expensive blowback mofo models can use propane gas instead of Green Gas - seals in gun can fail or not work in colder weather Cheap GG pistols start about £30 non-blowback to £150+ for ultra high end or limited edition blowback models CO2 - hit 350 to 450+, much more powerful - too powerful to use at sites and tricky to tame down but can be tamed down a bit to creep under 330/350 mark - a little bit more reliable than GGas but still can fail in very cold weather - like all gas guns the seal can/do fail. prices are about same as Green Gas £30 non-blowback to way over £100+ Gas pistols are more common or popular, range of Green Gas models is bigger than CO2 coz GGas are most widely used I guess Springer pistols - ergh not really used much, only had a crappy kids pistol that I could spit bb's further well it broke quickly - mainly coz I threw it (yeah that didn't help but made me feel a bit better) you can get by with a low power springer but think most use a GGas one with say an aprox 20 shot mag rather than a 1 shot backup springer pistol, recock then shoot again (but still any secondary could save your a$$)

it can happen to nigh on all guns at a "dead zone"...... what happens is releasing from auto - the cam on sector gear "can" rarely stop in this position the cam has moved into position to push cut-off lever - the bit that yanks or pops the switch up (once popped up away from trigger tip the switch flies back and disengages the on single shot) What can and probably happened is if that cam is still forcing cut-off lever up or not fully returned then the switch can't re-latch onto the trigger correctly FFS - dont force the trigger if you feel resistance - you can break it !!! This "dead zone" should only really happen going from auto to semi it should be just fine on semi all time if it does happen then the only real way is one burst on auto - repark it past the dead zone (or cycle finishes just past the cam) it might happen a tiny tiny bit more as you may have an AB mosfet in there which stops the motor very very quickly by reversing polarity - so it "may" not roll on past that cam position as a non-AB fet (but as long as it don't and it shouldn't do this crap on semi it is not areal problem) L85's with pre-cocking can suffer from this quite a bit even on semi but is another matter from the precocking and sector gear's cam/pre cocking a little too late imho learn to release trigger at correct point - might be just letting go of trigger at random points or just prior to it firing the motor then stops in this "dead zone" rather than the switch parking it properly under semi might be doing this a little more if battery is starting to deplete - try a fresh battery if it starts happening again (fresh battery should help it get past the dead zone maybe) Whoa - now ya more confused - soz, in a nutshell it shouldn't be a big problem - just learn when to release trigger on auto or if it parks incorrectly you have to cycle auto - semi again don't ever force it - it is a poxy dated old school trigger design but generally is a good robust cheap one I'm afraid 99% that is the issue as it is a common one....... could be a switch contact under selector plate but it sounds like the dead zone to me if all works going auto - semi again if it seemed to happen in afternoon on the same battery then pretty sure a fresh battery could help too

nah - like to think if anything was "found" it would be handed into a marshall I've lent mags/batteries to peeps like we all have even offered my spare gun like others have (probably would even loan a bfg to a team mate (18+) if required to split in two units) but I'd be pi$$ed if somebody helped themselves if the players can't have a little bit of integrity & honesty... no point playing coz they certainly wouldn't take their bloomin' hits gotta have some respect for other players - and their stuff

well I presume you are not gonna try to re-use them - not wise a "curtain" could help in the catcher - like the ones to stop dead golf balls in simulators or a pillow in that box but sooner or later the cardboard box will be shredded to f*ck but in any case the cardboard box - bb's will just pop out the other side

welcome aboard just don't ask any silly ukara/vcra questions (had a riot in here about 30 mins ago, blood was everywhere) KIDDING - welcome a good read is Ians guide if you need to get started - even if you have been playing for a while http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/12854-new-player-guides-info/

End of the day most sites don't give a $hit what you do with a 2-tone gun "it's your gun do whatever you like with it" was reply when I asked about spraying some bits (site don't care though the law "may") All down to interpretation - no you can't "modify" it which is altering the original appearance (not scope, but in effect can't paint & turn an IF into a RIF) In fact as I understand it even if you are on the ukara database that does not give you the right to transform an IF into a RIF - it is still technically not allowed... UKARA gives you a defense or reason to own a RIF but that does not mean you are gonna be ok if you was a w@nker and displaying a RIF (or IF) out in public In reality the owner needs to be aware there is some slight possible risk painting an IF UKARA is one form of defense (plus it enables you to buy RIF) being a regular airsoft player is the same - even if u18 if RIF/IF was "gifted" All of this is a form of defense or reason to own a RIF However - if questioned by police or worse hauled up in front of judge then it won't mean much if owner was being a d*ckhead - ukara or not - IF or RIF The whole ukara + vcra is not completely clear as glass, though you may be ok but then you may not if the law (police/judge) wanted to be awkward about it Though except for Daily Mail most people don't know or care much - it's a toy isn't it ??? bloomin' ukara/vcra always causes problems/rows/debates I've probably got it all completely wrong yet again but if so then I have misunderstood once again really think some smart ar$e lawyer/solicitor should rewrite it all in plain english for us thicko's but that would probably cost mega bucks So for the moment we shall continue with our own personal understanding or interpretation (main thing is not to be a dickhead with your IF or RIF or IF painted to RIF)

good ol' shs - at least I know what heads to order (and what not to bother getting) Out of interest - was a shs m90 spring fitted along with some other bits eg: tbb + fet and happy with fps etc.....

SRC Gundam is deffo a 2-tone in my book even though it is a 5 tone or something The "general" idea is it is to be easily identified as an IF from first glance (that is basically my interepretation for what it is worth and I'm going with that) In other words if somebody glanced over at an IF - most people would inform police it appears to be fake rather than the 12yr old killed a couple of months ago Snake is too subtle - that could still raise alarm bells of a response team JBBG is quite obvious it is a toy or IF - plus its crap btw Somewhere there are "possible" options to still ease people's first glancing concerns and still look a little less of a JBBG newbie but think we may all have a slight difference of opinion on this exactly Safe bet is something along the lines of JBBG but maybe a little more subtle but yet again the colour or shade could be a matter of opinion too It is down to seller / retailer what they deem to fit that criteria and can defend if challenged paint or dipping is fine in my book - some dipping could be better than a lame ar$e tacky paint job it is the effect really not method used I suppose..... NH Shooter is correct as it is up to him what he sees fit despite what others may think it is his ar$e not anybody else's - so I think that really defines it as the seller's ar$e is on the line despite whatever anybody else says is ok or not

the snake skin is a little too subtle as I said (no way would I say 51%) dipping - well that depends on coverage/pattern/colour & god knows what (yes dipping or painting - same meat different gravy but depends on final result) at time of sale it is supposed to meet the 51% guideline but with wear n tear if it starts to fade/remove then is it not the owner's liability to ensure it still meets those requirements ??? (or should the retailer have done a better job) whole issue is a bollock-ache sometimes but we have to go with flow yup I was right - bloomin' ukara/vcra and anything like this....

yup deffo gonna ensure any fet I put in is "Gate" ready but tbh - once the trigger contacts are done then that is it really I mean send up a dedicated supply/return or 2 thin leads to trigger & back to fet and motor leads with own dedicated 16 awg rather than longer positive lead to switch & motor at trigger contact like the quick existing wire option yeah that is a bit confusing like most crap I type but I kind of understand it (jeez my posts are more confusing than Merf programming - and that is saying something) will now go for dedicated 2-wire trigger fet is basically what I was meaning

Blimey - been looking at Gate Merf 3.2 burst/rof/voltage programming & options got well lost trying to follow all the bells n whistle options - jeez tempted to get that mofo from bullseye country sport about £45 del if use a 10% discount code (or buy something else and get 10% on mulitple items) clever stuff if ya like all them options, if ya have a little room for that bad a$$ module & easy to change but for now will stick with basic fet but will ensure I prepare the wire/connectors ready for easy fitting to these Gate's if ever I wanna go to next level (provided I can get my head around advanced programming options of the mofo)

depends where site is located - Bradford, Birmingham etc..... soz to avoid upsetting anyone if playing in other inner city areas and the newbie loadout of hoodies, jeans falling down ya ar$e etc.... the more seasoned players might find them in the "oiky chav look" easy targets to pick off........ then the pro's find out them oiky players have ripped out all the car stereo's quicker than the pro's could change a mag see - I upset everybody loadouts - very personal thing but jeans n jacket does me... (I'm $hit at it so a cool looking loadout won't make my aim no more accurate - though it might help me not get picked off so easy)

to be honest though I think it is a good idea I doubt if I will buy one as I have 2 oshi's impact & 2 dynatec impacts with 9mm & 6mm adapters but to be fair sometimes haven't used them (mainly play woodland - cqb room clearing is different) I do see both sides of the argument and the other team should not be able to use it but in real terms what happens in-game all pumped up and kick bfg away etc...... impact grenade x 6 shot is saving some time but not that much coz if you got another blank ready then oshi takes only time to unscrew replace and tighten - 5 secs aprox timed mofo's - yeah that is a bit more pi$$balling about in heat of battle so that would be good if they could do that in a multi option All sites operate different rules - some are a bit daft it seems but perhaps the best decisions are when sites listen and take on board what maybe the majority of the players are saying - after all they are the ones playing and PAYING Better equipped teams have a major advantage of course - often if it getting too crazy teams might be split up a bit Radios BFG's all them goodies help give ya the upper hand but there has to be some balance OR we could all roll up with nooby 5k box mags, $hitloads of bfg's etc......... actually sounds crazy fun but not exactly the most skilled or tactical way of doing things Think there should be some "reasonable" limits or guidelines to amount of bfg's per member/team per round though (pity the poor sods in room if say 8 guys each chuck in their "unlimited" supply of bfg's first go) depends on area/number of rooms but maybe a rough limit might be 3 per team in one round but this would vary on area/size number of rooms etc...... gotta have some ceiling or it could get mental - and you may not have a ceiling left

Hmmmmm - tricky one coz AirsoftWorld were doing the snake skin 2-tone as an option Me personally I feel the pattern or snake skin look is not the same as the "normal" 2-tone (certain parts of gun 1 continuous colour to easily distinguish as first glance it is an IF) Technically we the user are not allowed to paint/modify the guns, where as retailers paint as they see fit should be 51% of gun but so much is open to interpretation in a sense..... If retailer thinks that a snake skin 2-tone blue meets the criteria for an IF then that is up to them at AW but my own gut feeling it falls a little short of the vivid 51% yukk orange or puke green most "BB" retailers sell The coverage & colour of snake skin at AW is way too subtle in my opinion and hope AW don't get any kick back should be a much brighter blue - still better than crap orange or a slightly milder puke green - anything but orange (They "could" in my book perhaps spray the mag n stuff like flash hider a bit more to cover their ar$es) probably yet another subject to start rows & quarrels and all with a sprinkling of various people's own interpretation.....

thinking of getting this for a more stealthy look this time of year..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OLAF-FROZEN-Snowman-Adult-Mascot-Costume-UK-FOR-SALE-NEW-kids-party-/251808915164?pt=Adult_Fancy_Dress_UK&hash=item3aa0fb1edc soz - bored ProAirsoft Supplies had a cheap G&G Chione which would look bitching with it though would be a laugh turning up in this though but might get accused of not taking ya hits "can't feel it m8 - must be going straight through me"

perfect for a NAE get-to-gether too

Everybody has their own preference and is up to owner what they use..... Me personally don't need extra bits really but I know it is nice to have burst options I do not like the "all in one" inside the box - yes it makes it neat & tidy and I'm sure ASCU's walk on water but think I would prefer the fet/burst externally so I can change/replace easily if required (easy/cheap replacement or experiment/upgrade with whatever I could hold of) That is just my very noobish view on things - don't flame me, like I said it is up to owner what they do/fit in there

think like many things there is an element of luck of the draw springers - bolt snipers & shotguns only come with a 6 month warranty I think AEG's usually 12 months - how good retailer's guarantee is will vary but the lower warranty on spring stuff must mean something I guess my own mossberg from bbguns4less - fecking mag often dropped out and on top of that fps was about 150 !!! yeah sod that - poxy lemon shotgun and I'm sure loads have got really good ones for ages would like to try a tri-shot for a bit of cqb room clearing fun like I said or might have a look at lame mossberg or get another from say TWG and use the other "drop-out mag"

http://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1152202730-ASCU-Gen-3-for-GearBox-v-2-Hop-Up-chamber-Free.html under £70 free shipping think I'll stick with plain non-ab for the moment but it does make a nice cuppa tea I'm told

yup fine - battery should go in fine but may take a little careful practice to get the fiddly hang of it (may have to extend stock - pop in 2 longer sticks and then fiddle carefully with shorter middle one and tamiya connector as you shorten stock but that should last ya being 2200mah) the charger has the large tamiya connector but they chuck in a large to small tamiya lead - sorted if you get it all in one place then the shipping is all combined (zero one are good but they do charge a bit more than most for one gun but 2-tone is free so can't have it all) get it all, maybe a bag of .20g bb's (5k bag usually) unless ya m8 is gonna give ya some don't forget a mask/goggles - might have to be full face if under 18/16 - most sites say young players MUST have full face mask or a properly fitted goggles & face guard, if they see a gap by nose they can get funny hence some say full mask - but check your site as a few operate slightly different policies eye protection is a MUST - don't scrimp on it, the bb's don't sting that much but lets keep ya eyesight intact

Ambush Adventures http://www.ambushadventures.co.uk/ u18's young guns but as you are 16 you would be fine with waiver form and go to any skirmish site they got a new urban site - the billet or something - not been coz not my local alas I'm over Kent/Surrey Side only dropped son off at Young Guns u18 once - bit kiddish he said and prefers the general skirmish rather than kids only skirmish days but they seem to be around your area Surrey/Hampshire way

if you get a good make of battery eg: vapex 1600mah you might last a day ok if you wasn't going nutz most peeps tend to take 2 batteries and change at lunchtime rather that bat 1 go flat halfway through afternoon batteries do lose their holding charge as they get old (old laptops often have a battery that lasts 15mins) but a brand new battery "might" be ok if you go easy - but everybody plays different (some will do say 500 (sniper) or 1,000 bb's & others can do over 3k of bb's in a day) you need small tamiya connector on the crane/nunchuck battery and try to get a cheap-ish smart charger Smart chargers can cost about £12 upwards and they charge but turn off so they don't cook/kill battery place battery on worktop or old table and charge it - never on carpet/bed keep checking it - there is a small tiny heat/fire risk like with all battery charging - so don't be silly and go out just keep an eye on it now & then and keep watching it - common sense really 1 battery might last you or you might find you crap out on the last round of the day - but you say you not spray n prey hard to say but reckon you may be ok but you may need to get another at some point in future would suggest 8.4v (3+4 sticks) or 9.6v (4+4 sticks) max some may say lipo - not 11.1v and also you need to ensure lipo nunchuck/sticks fit in stock/tube usually the 8.4v or 9.6v nimah's go in most places fine - well unless you get the really fat diameter ones but in general most nunchuck nimah's are the thinner sticks and pop in crane stock really easy

it is indeed but I have to keep reminding my "clever" kids.... Oi - ya mum & me passed our feckin exams without the invention of Google ASCU - wow that thing is all singing & dancing - even makes the tea after it spots, aquires & fires at target for ya
