Quite true. To me, High fire rate = waste of ammo & extra stress on internals so they won't last as long. Plus if you prefer the less dickish style of gameplay you'd use semi only (I do). High rate of fire builds seem like a waste of money and like I said, ammo. You squeeze the trigger and 30 bb's bombard your target when really, you only need 1-10 depending on range, and atmospheric conditions. Only time I'd ever go full auto is if there is a large group of targets (excess of five people within a five metre radius of each other) or some pleb isn't taking his hits. Does sound nice though.

Tokyo Marui. Don't let the fact that they're made from plastic put you off, they perform incredibly well in even the harshest conditions.

You pretty much nailed it. Not the hop up nub I got as I have the Firefly flat nub in red from Eagle6. I also have the tracer unit built into the hop up chamber which isn't necessary however I occasionally play night games so it helps my circumstances.

My M416 was in the same boat as yours. FPS was "meh" for an assault rifle and accuracy could of been better. So, first I replaced the stock inner barrel. I have the long barrel version so my barrel length is 455mm without a suppressor. I put in a MadBull black Python 455mm 6.03 tightbore. After that I put in an SHS M100 spring. Combined with the inner barrel this gives me around the 340 mark with .20g bb's. However a word of warning, the spring will need to break in a little. When I first installed thethe M100 spring, it was shooting at 365ish. After a few games it breaks in and lowers a bit. I wasn't keen on the trigger response either, so I put a M140 high speed/ high torque motor and wired it to deans (highly recommend you do!). The hop up unit, I run a Ultimate Metal hop up chamber along with a firefly bucking and flat nub. Most people tend to go with this however some inner barrels hop up window is too small for the Firefly flat nub so be careful or you'll have to do some modifying. Other than that, the gun is stock. I use an 11.1v LiPo without a MOSFET (stupidly) however I can't find any techs to wire it up so it'll have to do for now. Hope it gives you some reference points for you to work on.

Very nice indeed. Have you considered starting up a small business from it? I'd definitely throw some money in it due to my dying desire to get my M14 stock in Multicam or MARPAT.

Built in strip club, bars, hot tu...only kidding. Definitely have an up to date website as previously discussed. A firing range like James said so people know what they're buying. Maybe (as an airsoft retailer) offer a longer warranty than other airsoft retailers? I for one would certainly pick a retailer with a long warranty in case something goes wrong. Presentation is everything for a shop. Maybe get some nice glass display cases with a few lights etc rather than a cluttered gun rack or wooden shelf. Also, HAVE GOOD SECURITY! Last thing you want is some muppet putting you out of profit. Price your items right. Nobody likes paying over the odds for something. Also do a fair P&P service. Don't do a JustBBGuns and charge £40 shipping for bb's because someone lives in the "Highlands" when they don't.... Hope it's a success mate.

Don't mean to be a gun nerdy spoil sport but the gun from Call of Duty 4 would be an M40A3 as the M40A5 wasn't finalised until 2009. No major differences aside from the A5 has a detectable magazine system whereas the A3 is breach loaded. Still both fantastic looking guns though.

Got it on sale wayyy back however I can't recall the website. Might of been FirePatrol or FireBase I'm not sure. Avoid buying from Asia or out of the UK. It'll never get through customs.

As an owner of one myself I can confirm it's well worth the money. I'd personally try pick one up with the A-TACS body or Multicam body as they look orgasmic. However they're more expensive and hard to find in stock so go for a OD Green one or black as their tan looks rather too bright (for my liking). Performance wise, superb however the standard hop up could be better. Unfortunately, there is very little in the way of upgrade parts being a version 7 gearbox. However it's incredibly quiet, well shimmed and even has a nice G&P M120 high speed motor inside. The trigger contacts are on the outside of the gearbox meaning installing a MOSFET is dead easy. Any more questions. Throw them my way and I'll answer no problemo. P.S: You've pictured a "Scout" model with what looks like the CYMA rail system on top. The "Recon" has built in rails on the side and bottom.

Unless it's an open bolt gas blowback or pistol it's near impossible to see inside an airsoft guns hop up chamber. The hop up isn't even under the charging handle on my M14 but I always have the habit thinking it's a firearm and check the chamber before realising it's not real andand that it's just a hop up dial before laughing at myself.

The charging handle? Yes the M14 and M1 Garand's have a very distinctive, nice sound. You can see at the end of the video that my firearm instincts kick in and I actually check the chamber is clear even though it's an airsoft gun. After spending the majority of my life handling firearms it comes naturally and people often ask me at games etc why I check the chamber after each game haha. Pure accident.

You may wish to reconsider your set up then. Play around with different items and ways to mount them, then see what works best for you.

Shouldn't be an issue. Found a real Fast Helmet from a nice chap on eBay, so it has a real effective retention system. Regarding weight, once you've been in the service lugging a kevlar helmet and comms on your head for seventeen years it's almost impossible to notice.

Hello all, So as some may know from a status I posted awhile back, I picked up a GoPro Hero 3. Prior today, I did not have the correct mounting equipment to mount it on my fast helmet. So, now I've gotten it set up etc, I'd like some feedback on; - The quality, I currently have it set to 720P 60FPS however it also can record at 1080p 30FPS. - Height and angle of the camera, I currently cannot have the camera closer to my eyes because if I mount the camera upside down it is then too low, and skews my vision. - and audio quality. At this moment in time I cannot help it. It may seem "quiet" but that's because the GoPro Case is crazy tough and is at least 1.5cm thick. Any advice and feedback (good or bad) is welcome. I'd like to get it as pleasant to watch as possible before my next game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcliHJqP1LA&feature=youtu.be Thanks!

Qlimax has the SMP. Maybe worth dropping him a PM for more details on setup etc.

North east Scotland haha. 40ish miles north of Aberdeen.

Sorry Lozart, gate* The last version 2 gearbox I took apart still remains in that state to this day haha. I'm comfortable with a version 3 as there's less fiddly bits however a version 2 isn't my strong suit. I'd hate to break my TR4 and have no idea how to fix it.

So many MOSFET's I now don't know what one to get! Haha. To a more serious note, who can install it?

It's a gen 2 mate. My apologies for not mentioning that.

Hello all, So I've just ordered an M140 High Torque motor and an 11.1v 25c LiPo for my G&G TR4-18 Top Tech in the hope to make the gun as "snappy" and the trigger response as fast as possible. However, I know I have asked this long ago for another gun, but I'd like to add a MOSFET. Mainly so I don't obliterate the trigger contacts, plus if I'm not mistaken a MOSFET increases trigger response anyway. My question is what MOSFET is best? A "plug'n play" or hardwired? Keep in mind I do not care for burst fire or fire controls etc. I'd just like a nice, crisp sounding gun. I also know about short-stroking however I can only do that to a version 3 gearbox. If the answer is "hardwired" does anyone know someone who I can send my gun to have this installed for a sensible price? Even better, does anyone on this forum have the know-how to do it, and willing to? Thanks in advanced!

I believe that the GR4 G26 is apart of the Combat Machine line. Despite G&G's being exceptionally well made (in my experiences) it's an intermediate rifle. Those are good for CQB etc but will need some work (internally) if you want it to be that super duper gun everyone wants. So, in terms of how it shoots. Being in the intermediate line, it will only have a very basic motor, probably not even a high torque like G&G's advanced line have. So expect it to shoot at something like 600 - 700 rounds per minute. I don't know if you can throw an 11.1v LiPo in an intermediate line gun. It may frizzle the trigger contacts I'm not sure. I can easily use an 11.1v in my G&G Top Tech. Accuracy may also be a little of the poor side. Advanced line G&G's come with a 6.04mm barrel I believe. Intermediate will most likely be wider and maybe* a softer metal too. I've had a few intermediate line G&G's in my time and never enjoyed any of them really. Yeah, they're made from a pretty nice polymer. However metal gives that piece of mind that it won't explode if you drop it or hit it off a tree by accident.. I know.. Personally, I'd recommend getting a Top Tech or an advanced line G&G as I've had nothing but smiles with mine. All my "combat machines" and intermediate G&G just gave me a sigh.
