Sitting Duck

gave in & bought 2 x CM122 pistols on offer at Gunfire @ 40Euro or about £32 each that a47 was blue and after sanding (fairy ain't shifting that amount of paint) it came out with a sort of light faded or aged look - still plastic but smooth as a baby's ar$e coat of varnish to finish and she will do me - still got a touch of blue on bottom of stock (looks better/darker is wiped with damp cloth hence a coat of varnish will be sweet) pic may appear bluey in places on some parts of stock but trust me it ain't like that at all - no sirs (seriously was on an OCD mission to get every possible bit off - took hand guard off too & de-blued the holes etc..) wasn't too bad really - heavy/medium/fine sandpaper & a bit of elbow grease

New JG36c's are supposed to have a grub screw or something at back to tweak spring / fps (well tiny screw seemed to do FA for me so will no doubt have to tone mine down too)

yup JG G36c - perfect cqb & short/midrange aeg 3 makes - 3 types, there are others but think that is what most may use (or have in their collection - you won't go wrong with either)

G&G M4's for most people - M4's are perhaps most ergonomic for many Cyma AK's if you want something a bit different to not "follow the heard" buy cheaper stuff from any place with BB in its name and you will regret it (many - me included have made that nooby mistake)

Think a lot of APS problems is down to switch/trigger problems the trigger itself has a slightly longer "lug" than most others (talking about APS M4 trigger btw - not got a APS v3 box yet) my own M4 APS is fine on auto but a little iffy on semi sometimes - common problem but fixable shame coz APS quick change box is very nice but needs improving on trigger switch area (google it but I will sort it properly on next overhaul - poxy f**king switch) CYMA are to AK's what G&G are to M4's - they are very good even the cheaper models are decent £ for £ even out the box they perform well compared to other makes only got cheap 28a but very happy (I like easy battery change in stock) can't comment on others makes but very pleased with my Cyma AK's (& G&G M4's)

glad you made it back in one piece and had a blast shame the gas stuff wasn't working properly but sounds like they were a great crowd Think the first time at new site is the often most memorable & finding ya feet AEG & hi-caps if you like sounding like the maraca's sounds or 120-190 mid caps for quieter kills with less chance of dry-fire if you forget to wind (oh yeah - got owned numerous times from dry fire - blame mag not me forgetting to wind it) if you really get into it then maybe 2 similar mid range guns - guns WILL let you down so spare and it being compatible with your usual mags makes sense. But from sounds of it they are a great bunch and will help ya out if stuck. (which really helps - no matter how good/bad site is, it is the people that really help make it worth returning to)

cqb's - they are a bit more trickier/expensive to find/run bit of woodland not too bad, but trying to source a moderate size ground with buildings at a cheap price not so easy to get hold of... yup a number of old warehouse/factories/offices lying around you may think but very often the owner/landlord won't commit or let us lot rent it cheap, shoot it up etc.... They wanna leave it vacant, not commit to a cheapy rental agreement and sell it or knock down to develop My local site has been looking for a replacement after they lost their old school urban site But round here - South London/Surrey is a lot harder to come by - old field/woods in Surrey ok but they have had very little luck getting a possible cqb site going again

for what it is worth & pasted from the site: A&K Dragunov A spring clone of more expensive manufacturers. They utilise a quick spring change mechanism to change FPS in a matter of minutes. This rifle uses AEG springs. These have distinctive Blue aluminium pistons. The hops are a good design but reports suggest the range is lacking. We have introduced a new improved hop unit along with other upgrades available from our webstore, see: http://www.airsoftsniperparts.com/apps/webstore/products/category/639221?page=1 ASG Concern Izhmash Dragunov SVD aka ARES Dragunov SVD - yes ARES had them branded in the first release! These share the same piston as the A&K version however the hop units are not. The trigger sear is also compatible with the A&K version but you'll need to drill a small hole underneath for a spring to slot in. http://www.airsoftsniperparts.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2657310 it says it may not fit - there may have been a change the hop page says I have a ASG & an AEG SVD and one new hop from Gunfire so it should fit one of them but not fitted it yet - need to do a few bit swap arounds as I got a longer 650 barrel to go in bolt (then nick the 590 barrel for a L85 DMR I'm thinking of doing - more projects so little time) end of day you "may" be able to fit it but if not it is not end of world the SVD is a very good buget sniper anyway and even if you can't achieve absolute top of the max possible range it is still more accurate than many other guns for the money there are 2 types of mags though - cyma svd's use a slightly different mag that is the only thing to watch out for I think the normal svd can just use normal AK mags in there - up to 1,000 bb's !!!! wow best get the cocking lever then coz ya little pinky's will hurt by then soz I can't give a deffo 101% answer if they have changed stuff recently but still not end of world I reckon

Or running his own cqb site with all them Galaxy's + other MP5's

good bit of info there - some of it for me remember too still don't know all the names of nooks & crannies & points at my local Hopefully any snipers will know MED etc... hope he has a good time coz I think we may have ended up scaring the crap out of him - but he did ask

Snipers would be one thing you will encounter Tripping ar$e over tit as you navigate maybe the less direct route to objective maybe more non-hit takers and people learn their guns aren't as long range as they thought Become a tree hugger - nigh on your main cover so peek left as well as right & high/low - they will be learn to communicate - quietly/signals but if you do break silence remember: "he's behind that tree" is not very informative but "behind tree @ 11o'clock" is better (if I had a £1 for the above line I could pay for my walk on fees) watch & learn from the regulars/pro's especially when you first arrive if things are not working out by lunchtime then maybe suggest a change of plan but the regs will maybe have an idea on what works & what don't (a proper team or a few organised squads are much more effective than 25 lone wolfs) Above all call ya hits, don't get stressed and just enjoy it

I'm nearly speechless for once - absolutely sickened by it "justice" would be too good for them c**ts soz but that is all I will say except my sympathy for the families left devastated & shattered by all of this

this MIGHT fit but YOU need to check and do your homework a bit coz some stock tubes have thicker/thinner walls (sounds crap but cheaper makes can have less metal used and so can fit a slightly thicker battery in tube) You - need to check/measure it all out but THINK this size fits in a FireHawk VS02 stock tube http://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-1300mah-20c-continuous-discharge-lipo-battery-136mm-long.html please ffs double / triple check all dimensions - no point getting a battery that you can't fit

thank you for info.... realise that the box is a bit odd/unique but think it uses long motor type maybe normal bevel gear etc but extra teeth on sector/piston but if doing a 600mm will need most teeth on the 85/sr25 piston and full cylinder to get volume/ratio if I do a shorter one then normal 15 should be ok for a 400/450 barrel stock R85 cylinder I think is ported so have ordered a couple of full cylinders & set of 85/25 gears yeah gonna be yet another learning curve but at least it keeps it interesting

Mid caps are great if you get some good ones certainly beats the more "musical" high caps get a few of ya running around and just sounds like a mexican/latin/spanish maracas quartet yeah put on some samba de amigo and shake it baby: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/91/SambaDeAmigo.jpg

indeed - in fact my credit card screams at me to slow down springs though are very varied - I have gotta finish a crappy cheapo plastic M4 spring tester basically an old plastic M4 front wired QD quick change spring box with hole in back of receiver then I can quickly check some old springs out and keep/bin them and have a rough idea... Then with findings of old/new springs I can see what I expect to achieve if using them on my next build think most are too lame to bother with but would be good to get a "rough" idea of what to expect yet another bloody thing to finish off - then I buy something else and forget what I started last week

my noob findings atm..... use silent piston head without a "proper" ASG or ultimate cylinder head and you will probably lose a bit but did use one with proper Ultimate head and got very good results Alas I put in a m115 spring + AOE and got 390/395 - oops so need to put in SHS m100 or usual Element m105 (not m115 - dooohhhhhh) but think 395 was good from m115 did get 340 from m105 without "proper" cylinder and doing AOE etc..... these are the only 2 silent heads I have fitted so far so results are a little mixed and not 101% accurate with fitting m115 so my own noobish views are still a little unclear on them but think unless you fit proper stuff on there you may lose a bit Ultimate coloured heads deffo do seem better than other brass types like Element ones Thing is it is still a little bit of guessing game as no 2 builds are quite exactly the same - even on same gun/model cylinder type/port, barrel to cylinder ratio, some springs are stronger than others so the mXXX can vary a lot on other makes sorry can't give you a deffo yes/no but think they might drop it slightly unless you pair it with proper cyl head or you are than bloody good at building box's with complete zero air loss all over cylinder port should be about 3/4 aprox but even then some descriptions are a bit off I would call some cylinders with 1/2 way porting more like 3/4 type porting or some ports are so tiny & right at end you wonder if they really doing much so with this crap I just posted you can only try it n see - AOE will reduce, silent possible reduction too if just over then maybe leave spring cocked overnight to "bed in" or lose a bit like most springs do over time I'm sure your builds are much much more efficient than my humble ones - soz I can't give a deffo 101% answer (actually I probably made this post more confusing now like most stuff I type) If you buy the "proper" Ultimate or ASG/Lonex stuff then £25 and end of day it ain't silent, only a slightly slightly slightly quieter "thud" that was all, if box is a bit schreechy or noisy then the silent factor means very little anyway Well I ain't gonna buy & replace them in all my builds - most stock stuff works perfectly fine when AOE & seals sorted which is what I have read on some techy sites and now am finding its true - if I shim/grease/aoe/seals etc.. properly think Samurai said cyma's may have a decent 6.04 barrel in their AK's anyway so your AK may not need much spent on it just the usual service/tweak on box and possible spring change if really needed but AOE will drop it M90 hitting 340 though - wow that is very efficient but some springs like guarder used to rate on .25's a while back so it can get even more confusing with spring ratings in some setups etc..... Most aeg gunsmiths will often stick to certain brands of upgrades as they know what to expect in their builds where is the ultra fit Ian AK guy when you need him - not seen him recently but think he would know about it all

shipping is about £6 though so 5 mags is about £43 shipped they also do some others for about £47 + shipping for 5 or 10 for about say 56/57 quid These "Bravo" ones are same grey colour but have a star & BCM on the metal case my first 10 were just plain grey but no worries and probably will spray a few tan maybe 10 maybe a bit much for one player so was why I said get a m8 or two to go in with ya very pleased with first box bought at Easter time, tested a couple of the Bravo/BCM and feed lovely wouldn't have bought another box if they were crap

Gunfire - normally TW & GF sell them for 145 Euro(ish) instead of about 175 Euro (got 1 s/hand that needs overhaul & a new one from TW when they did free shipping) over chrimbo GF reduced it to 125 Euro until 2nd Jan and thought can't buy another ffs well as it is free ship over 69 Euro at GF and as exchange rate is about 1.27 Euro to £1 I gave in - £100 for L85, well I have bought many (too many btw) crap stuff for that price in past Hopefully after learning a little bit on v2 boxes, will overhaul iffy s/hand one and see how that goes what I may do is make up a longer DMR version like L86 if that works out ok with new gear/spring/motor etc... then a good stock one and perhaps a slightly smaller one eg: 590ish barrel + m130 + slighty torquey gears perhaps (if I don't break it with beefy motor) 510 stock, setup but running well 425 aprox barrel - maybe short stroke to "normal" 15 tooth to help with the odd semi problem & boost rof Well that is the idea or more like yet another dream/project yes it was offer too good to miss and money I probably haven't got this month but if Fire Support still had the ICS one at £200 sale offer I would of bought that mofo

and you can play with your "twanger", slap zippy, teach george something if you have unlimited patience and tell bungle just how gay/camp he really sounds (always thought star wars C3PO batted for other team too) soz going way way off topic as per usual

try some other mags first: http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/airsoft-magazines-c3/high-capacity-c51/dytac-300rds-bravo-magazine-for-m4-aeg-black-box-of-10-p3058 get a m8 to go halves with ya - but they are good cheap mags cleaning gun/mags - not really coz the hop-up must be clean and dry some may clean barrel with alcohol wipes, some may use a tiny - and a I mean a tiny bit of silicone oil in barrel only but if any of this gets in hop-up you will need to strip and clean/wash in warm soapy water or will need replacing - so in general to avoid f**king it up DON'T (it "can" help in some cases but to save getting into a row/debate avoid any chemicals especially as it might be mag related) some mags are just pure crap - yup got a few that are pi$$ poor at feeding pop one of the above Dytac's in - lovely - suffice to say most mags that came with guns are still in their boxes bought some jumbo 500rnd ones from Hong Kong and they last for ages..... because f**k all comes out the bastid mags !!!! (pile of crap they are) OK I could change spring inside mag and pi$$ ball about but Dytac do job great & just over a fiver each suffice to say we got another box recently

or get this 5-tone gun then: http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=22&products_id=42979 you could wave that around and nobody would give it a second thought A nerf gun would look more lethal IGNORE the above crap - it IS still an airsoft gun and would need ukara to buy/import (just being silly as per usual) The regulations are there and we have to abide by them, some might seem a bit ott but it is there for everybody's sake including you.... There are things you can do, ukara if 18, get a IF and "change" it - though this is dodgy ground Plus this subject is brought up time and time again and all that Still - be thankful you not living Australia for example where airsoft is banned down under After a little thought the GunDam SRC 5 tone gun may in theory not need ukara as it certainly not a RIF looking aeg (unless kids & clowns go to war) But I would not be surprised if you ordered it from evike then you get a request for UKARA or they will threaten to paint it ffs (yeah if you can then 2-tone it midnight black & dark graphite grey please) Once more ignore my crap - maybe not need a ukara for gundam but will deffo need to be 18+ etc... (who knows - who cares - who reads my posts anyway)

it is - or more likely the other way round a Viper is a Well AK renamed I reckon kinda funny name really - some/a few of the Well stuff is ok-ish but most is not so with that in mind perhaps most of stuff is not very "well" and should perhaps be called - ill instead Yeah my gun is I L L & it really is sick (says the guy with more broken or unwell guns than most)

R85 as it was on offer for 125 Euro - £100 !!!! a few days ago could not silence the screams no more - ok it ain't a "proper" ICS one but I ain't worthy yet to buy a decent one only to break it like most of my stuff Some beefier motors (SHS hi torque & Big Dragon M160) & a few gearbox odds n sods Mrs says we need to decorate - so may buy her some new paint brushes & get step ladder out for her
