SHS Torque or SHS/Rocket Airsoft Torque is a good all rounder
see ak2m4.co.uk
Think your gun might be short stroked a bit but lacking a mosfet
but likely running on about a m110 to m115 atm if on 13 teeth sector:
taken from TWG...
 

 
A mosfet would be a wise upgrade at some point also then run what you like battery wise

I think it is perfectly fine the way it all is.....
 
Ireland - no ukara required - quite a bit of Europe don't need checks
Australia - no airsoft at all
Germany - lower and stricter guidelines
US - sod it buy a firearm at Walmart in some states like Texas but Wine has to be bought in liquor store or seperate liquor dept ???
 
Yup - think UK's not doing too bad I think

good player @ cqb site with a B500A1 would still kick my ar$e even with my Krytac from Hef
 
yes good gun helps, but so does knowing your own limits and your gun's limit too
(don't engage a sniper with a crap gun or try to take the whole team with a piggy - actually for some people that is their normal play style)

If you are looking for a good community, then go to airsoft events and check the forums. But. Avoid. Airsofters. On. Facebook.
Welcome, have fun. You certainly will.

What is "normal" ???
 
I love being weird / odd / unique - lets face it
Anything us blokes are into - most of out friends & other half's/women will thing a bit strange
 
Thank f*ck for being that bit weird / odd / unique
I wouldn't like to be too normal anyway
I like being unique or weird
 
Airsoft - toy gun nerf upgrade outdoor COD, reliving my youth long gone by
plus it is just another dumb ar$e hobby to spend money on according to missus - hmmmm
I like messing about with stuff - always interested in how stuff works or what have I just broke
better that pi$$ing it up down the pub, gambling, or couch potato etc....
 
Am I going to grow up and act my age - nope being a (skint) big kid is just too much fun

Hi Tom. FPS is always a tricky beast as it depends on the general gearbox compression. Does the Sterling use a V3 gearbox? What's it currently shooting at? Do you know what rating the spring is in currently?
 
As a starter a M100 or M110 should get you to around that mark. You can also cut off a coil off the existing spring although does deform the end slightly

Personally I bought a CYMA and lightly upgraded it (Angle of Engagement correction with sorbothane pad, SHS piston head/cylinder head, Gate PICO AAB mosfet).
 
Depends on your budget really. A whole E&L will most likely cost more and not be that much better than the higher end CYMAs (mine is the CM045, built like a tank, is nice). Unless you've been offered an E&L body cheap then a CYMA box won't really be much of an upgrade in itself, don't forget that you'll also have to budget for hop unit, barrel etc...

yeah basically - both is the answer
mid caps also feed better at silly speeds though capacity means you can't spray and pray too much
hi-caps - 1 mag lasts ya ages if you are travelling very light - like gun only - no pouches n not carrying the kitchen sink etc....

If you're going down the "build it yourself" route then most people would take the opportunity to fit higher spec parts than a bog standard CYMA box and motor. If you're just going to get a CYMA one from Amazon and chuck it in then you may as well save yourself the hassle and buy a new CYMA.

Personally I'd say it depends on your play style. Unless you're going to seriously spray and pray then I'd say get a few mids and keep the hicap as a backup.
 
Welcome back by the way

G&G or ICS - 2-tone/clear M4's both are highly recommended M4's
and easy to sell on when you get RIF
or even keep as a backup gun - when you compare one of them to a sub £100 gun from JBBG
you can clearly see the difference and understand what a proper aeg starts to look/feel/shoot like
 
ok they ain't Tokyo Marui's but a lot more like a decent gun that a £60 springer will ever be

And the cyma from Airsoftworld would cost extra to 2-tone
Get Raider £123 and 2-toned free from Zero One
 
ps - best not to ask about under 18 and/or no ukara obtaining RIF's

you got ukara ???

cyma M4's are not bad but that plastic receiver isn't as good as a G&G Combat Machine for a bit more
been donw this route on the cheap cyma's - not bad internally - honestly
if the receiver was a bit less brittle feeling I would say up yours G&G completely but I gotta still suggest a Raider for a bit more tbh
 
http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/27302-cyma-cm515-cheapo-plastic-keymod-aeg-l70-aprox/
 
yes they are great buy for £65 to £70 perhaps but if paying £100 or so - G&G
(yes it may come with another mag - but what is that £6 value for a cheap extra plastic mag)
 
it is a good offer - heck I'd say the box and barrel is maybe better than G&G
but - hmmmm, nah still Raider has the edge - just

Oooh if only that would work....
 
No offense to anybody starting a new member - new post though most has been asked before........
 
Not being funny to people starting a new post - but by the time you composed a - new player need help....
What is best gun, bb, battery, site to play, scope, blah blah blah.......
 
you could of banged in about 10% of the total characters used into the search function
yes I know it is a bit crap with 3 character search crap
but believe it or not Google is pretty $hit hot for coming up with answers too
 
This place is brilliant - mainly coz of me - no seriously - excuse me for getting smug older members it was a joke, I have $hitloads still to learn myself
 
There are also other good ones to browse like airsoft society - big US site, even if we/me says one thing - don't take it as pure 101% gospel
do some research of your own - I have been known to be very wrong on occasions - yup I can talk very fluently out of my ar$e I have been correctly put in my place - plus as said earlier I am always learning from much wiser people on here and other places - plus my numerous many many mistakes & failures
 
Seriously - sometimes people should do a little digging first - heck you may uncover a few examples even the wisest of the wise are unaware of
I'm often searching google for various examples of my own balls ups to see what I did wrong and what I should of done
Don't always listen to me - I am still a noob or a nob - whichever you prefer to use

Maybe if you don't answer duck, people will find the search, perhaps someone should do a thread of threads on airsoft batteries...
 
All that said, your help was much appreciated in the questions sticky.
 
Good stuff, i usually charge my lipo after a game, guess i got to stop.
 
:)

look at ya gun - it is likely small tamiya....
 

 
two top right connectors are male/female small tamiya - reckon 90 to 98% stock guns will be small tamiya
(probably 99% but I don't own every gun out there)
 
bottom right 4 are large tamiya - unlikely to be used in most guns - maybe big fixed stocks but should have adapter from Large to Small Tamiya
 
bottom left is a small tamiya btw like top right two
 
3 on top left are deans - usually found on upgraded guns - allows more current to flow through thicker 16awg wires to motor
(16awg is quite thick and not all guns/gearboxes can squeeze in wires as thick as that)
other connectors found/used...
mini deans - unlikely to found but have seen a US baby M4 AEG that came with mini deans
XT60 & banana plugs - mainly used on RC stuff than airsoft but some do use these connectors on guns I have seen
 
Airsoft is usually small tamiya or Deans if upgraded as in picture
sometimes using RC batteries that have XT60 connectors you need to re-do connections or get correct adapter
polarity differs also on Large & Small Tamiya's so if using an adapter double check polarity is 101% correct
 
Lipo's often have a min of 16awg - often 14awg, or higher burst 12awg+ wires in them
 
jeez - really thought most of all this would be in that 3 page essay posting we done a while back
I think I'm done on this for now - if you speak to componentshop.co.uk they will sort you out and answer any queries

yeah it will be fine, in fact a bit smaller than what I used in FireHawk which was this:
http://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-1300mah-20c-continuous-discharge-lipo-battery-136mm-long.html
 
so I'd say yup it will work sir...
 
However you could consider this one:
 
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=44774
(small tamiya connector shown from EU location)
slightly lower 1200mah 25c instead of 1450mah but that is taking all specs as gospel
but less than half price

http://www.airshooter.co.uk/hg-0302-hfc-mk23-airsoft-gas-pistol.html#.VvbiktKLSt8
 
BUT - I don't think the item is actually in stock tbh
it is another website of onlybbguns or iwholesalers it seems
 
and onlybbguns don't have any in stock:
 
http://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/hfc-hg-302-mk23-airsoft-gas-pistol.html#.Vvbi6dKLSt8
 
but at £41:85 delivered - that is a bargain if you wanna take a chance of them having one left
even on only it is £50 - even with using the " RC10 " to get 10% off that takes it down to £45
so under £42 is cheap as heck
(RC10 don't work on airshooter site - I already tried that when I saw they might be same company)
sadly I wouldn't hold your breath but that is about one of the best cheap as chips gas guns you can get
27 or 28 rnd mag - go nutz
 
You could go nutz on a TM pistol or WE or a cheap n cheerful HFC - STTi - SRC (same company just rebrands)
 
ps - you are wise sir and understand the regulations governing airsoft - some may seem a little daft but we abide by them all the same
so refreshing to see that some people understand rather than - my gun why can't I do this or that with it attitude of some people
 
or bbguns4less - damn I don't like to recommend these guys....

oh well have a think and see what takes ya fancy - just use eye protection & common sense indoors
(not that you should go senseless outdoors either)
