DEDSEC

I hear what you're saying DEDSEC but in my experience it's definitely NOT just under 18s that are 1) crap and 2) annoying. Your mate saying "get a life mate" could easily be misinterpreted as insulting - which to a kid is always likely to end up in confrontation.

Also - talking sensibly to the marshals on site at the time is more likely to get a problem resolved. Leaving it until now and talking about it here will solve nothing (might make you feel better but that's about it).

Don't get me wrong, I agree with a lot of what you say but there is always two sides to these kind of experiences. I can well imagine some little kid bitching to his mates now about some grumpy old ex-squaddie that took the piss out of his Combat Machine...

SO MUCH CHOICE!

that's the joy of a Tippmann, they all look the same due to the lack of options lol

not at all, I have one which looks nothing like anyone else's xD

6.03 is fine, you don't have to go PDI either. Any half decent tightbore will do - this is a support weapon we're talking about here not a 17lb, full auto sniper rifle! It's just that the original A&K barrel is a bit pants and a better hop rubber never hurt anyone.

What Lozart said.

A 17lb full auto sniper sound's good.

Interesting. Might be a project for me. Money is very limited so when I get some cash on payday I'll maybe start a M700 project?

The barrel I feel will be the hardest part. A 6.10mm though that's awful! Haha defiantly the first thing I'll try and change.

If you can get access to a machine shop then you're set, it's really easy to take the rifle apart and replace stuff.

That's where I'll struggle. I work in an office and live in the countryside so unless the office I work at is secretly MI5 with an underground lab with a metalwork room, I ain't getting no machines.

Then again I could always pop into my sons high school? They have a whole wood and metalwork department?

Yay! Bullet belt!

I can feel my inner Rambo coming along.

Haha ok good news they do sell them bad news they never had any worse news they think they sell for bout 30 pounds so still no good

People always complain that M249's are too heavy yet I've just held it for 35 minutes straight test firing it and it's no heavier than an L85 is?

People are more used to light airsoft guns....20 minutes running about with the real deal and they'd be panting

Try carrying an L85A1 with 9 magazines loaded with 5.56x45 rounds, a backpack with cleaning gear, medical gear, survival gear, in 40+°c.. For 20 hours.

30C is a bit too high, and 20's a little low.....

So Goldilocks should choose a 25c that is just right

sorry just being silly once again

I have bought some of these:

ebay item: 131212457347

yes needs a converter but size is perfect fit for some guns - max oomph for a compact size - use an adpter lead atm but will resolder some tamiya on there eventually - just size shape is good for me

2 cell = 3 wires for 7.4v lipo

3 cell = 4 wires for 11.1v or 9.9v life batteries

Happy birthday young man.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes guys!

happy birthday mate!

It's only for a sidearm though so is it really worth it?

Might as well buy one of those big barbeque red barrels. Would last awhile huh?

I not got gas - well CO2 but Monty & others have got green/propane so they can tell ya the exact adapters you will need and suggest size of bottle to start off with before you buy a great big tank of it

So that WE 3.0 would be too much for a plastic Tokyo Marui?

Changing a spring is pretty straightforward but I'd take it to a store and 1) ask them to chrono it and 2) get them to change the spring if it needs it. Where did you get it from?

Bought it off this forum some time back.

Get it chrono'd somewhere then.

definitely 2nd hand.

don't work for me - my other half has probably seen enough crap appear and the credit card statement that I think she knows how expensive these toy guns can be. Hence i am running out of room/hiding places/excuses now so gotta slow down

ah, you've done a basic mistake right there!

but he's just changing the motor so can't check for either of those things.

personally I'd do one thing at a time, get higher discharge rate batteries first as they're the easiest thing, then if that's not enough look to replace the motor.

I always start with simple things like Deans connectors and a rewiring job,before diving in the GB and tuning. I generally don;t recommend swapping parts unless you REALLY need to since most stock parts are grand

Thanks guys, like jcheese said, just looking to swap the motor as is kind of sluggish. However like he also said it's probably because I use a 9.6v Nickel battery. Dean connectors and a 7.4v lipo then?

I wore a christmas sweater (totally off season) that looked like it was knitted by my mother yesterday. Top that #oldmanstyle.

+1 for all black socks. I smoke a pipe, no-one is going to top that

You used a hashtag, Tariq. You can't be doing that bad..

Yeah the short mags a probably half the size of the 7.62s, maybe even less to be honest

Yeah M_P just checked out that link, looks pretty insane. You know what rail system that is on the front?

It's made by PWS I believe, can't say much more than that

Sorry, if your friend gets one - would do well if I started reading stuff in full!

Haha no worries mate I might pick one up myself! Been a great help, thank you from me and my friend.

from what I hear, I would go for ICS. send a line to Ed thou! I'm sure he be glad to help you!

Inokatsu. Made of lovely and angel sweat.

Costs the earth and rare as unicorn poop.

Ohh those. Yes they cost an arm and and an leg they do.

Had one for a very small while, stupidly sold it. But then at £1000 new, it was a little bit expensive to own just as a wall piece.

*some sites will accept a mosfet lock for semi lock. call n ask them

Please do tell me which, so I can avoid them.

I've also heard of airsofters creating DMRs where you cannot physically move the selector onto auto, sometimes with a welded part or part of a bolt stuck through the receiver'

In Afghanistan my platoon had some "target practice" on a pile of IED's.

Bet that looked amazing!

It only took 150+ rounds as for safety we was about half a mile away trying to hit a pile of cans, lunchboxes and plastic bags.

I done it with my old ones, I just cut the straps then hot glued the velcro onto the inside straps. http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa398/mack1984/9654941074_ca913460b2_h_zpsd5a99d73.jpg

Yeah as Mack said, just snip them to the right length (measure twice, cut once) and then either sew or glue on some hook velcro.

Got it, thanks again. I will post pictures in the loadout section once they're here and I hopefully haven't messed them up.

Oh no, I got this M14 last September. Then bought an M120 spring, ball bearing spring guide, Prometheus EG 6.03 inner barrel, Element hop up chamber, guarder hop up bucking and nub, SHS gears, SHS air nozzle and an SHS cylinder head. Surely can't be worth £200 to £250..?

Believe it or not, you won't get your money back if you've bought a gun new and you're trying to sell it on. People don't care about upgrades.

As monty says very rarely will upgrades keep any value,and the guns are available for 240 ish. Rule of thumb is take a third off that, add a bit for the mags and a bit for the internals and still 200 is borderline generous

not forgetting them servers set rules and guidelines - eg no rpg's or C4 but then you find that THEY CAN USE THEM FFS !!!

Some servers are really bad. Some are like "No Assault Rifles, no PDW, no DMR, no shotguns, no XM25 airburst, no LMG, no sniper rifles, no RPG, no stinger/ IGLA, no AT mine, no M2 SLAM, no knifing, no grenades, no carbines, no moving, no aiming, no spawning, no disconnecting, and PTFO!"

Hence I gave up on Battlefield. I went to go and play the much more realistic Call Of Duty. lel jks. I started playing older, more strategic shooters such as the Tom Clancy games (Splinter Cell & Rainbow 6) or third person action games (assassin's creed, Batman & GTA)

£110, plastic slide version is less desirable.

Think it's actually a RA-Tech slide. Also has a ACTION USP.45 steel spring guide and recoil & hammer spring.

I take that back, just put a magnet that only conducts to steel on it and nothing. Most likely aluminium alloy.

Like what Falcon said they are most likely crap. But maybe at that price they still might be worth a try? Just to see?

Why would you call 6mm BBs .357 Magnum :|

Because it makes them go faster.

Im fine in terms of the exterior of the gun. Unless there is a metal kit or something? Not really wanting to waste cash on a frame that won't benefit the gun performance/ durability wise.

More after internal bits and bobs to maybe increase performance (slightly). The blowback spring feels quite feeble when releasing the slide from a locked position. So preferably a upgrade recoil spring that will fit in the 5-7's unique design.

Without knowing much, would that butcher your slide?

Depends on the gas used.
