Skirmish CQB is great. Hells airsoft, as others have said, is incredibly dusty and will take 5 years off your life. For woodland, doesn't get much better than Matlock combat games. Had bad experiences with Pheonix Airsoft. Anzio is close enough too and is a good experience.

Couple of staples and mostly super glue, should be enough.

Simple bit of spare velcro to expand the chi-com. Just needs 10 years of being dragged through the woods to look the part.

Airsoft for most seems to be an escapism hobby. For myself, this is both disconnecting from the real world for a short period of time and disconnecting myself by lets say dressing up as if from a different culture and/or time period. It's up to the individual to decide how detached to the real world (and its current issues) their loadouts are and where to draw the line. For example, its common to represent a middle east insurgent, but perhaps putting a black headband on with white writing isn't the best idea, same classic thing comes up with german ww2 loadouts. I don't think a gorka and an AK crosses this line. However, as the world changes, issues change and so that line fluctuates. If it were the 70's and airsoft was a thing, I don't think many people would do VC loadouts. My favorite rif is an AK74 and with it my chi-com kit and russian camos. However, I now feel like that detachment between the real world has shrunk from comfortable to uncomfortable, so I will most likely slip into a more PMC role. I must say that yesterday wasn't the best timing for my Partizan camo suit (ordered a couple months ago) to arrive, delivered to work. ?

Looks like a kwc co2 1911 tactical and Nuprol delta pioneer. Both about £120ish new. In good condition with the case/bits and bobs should be able to get £200 for the lot.

I use the nuprol/raven extended EU mag in a WEg17 with no issues.

Closer look this evening, looks to be component number 30 missing? Have I got that right, anyone know where to get a new one? Also unsure how to strip this down any further, assistance needed cheers!

Full disclosure, I know close to naff all about gbb pistols. I had a WE glock and that just "worked". Picked up a KWA CZ75 second hand, first few shots through the crono absolutely fine. Second mag in however the slide jammed and gas retention went through the floor, 5 or 6 shots per full mag. Excuse terrible photos but found all this inside the rif. I am guessing this is a failed part, any ideas what this would be? I am happy to strip it down further but will start with questions here. Cheers!

Cheers, saw a lad with a gopped pdw a few weeks ago and scoffed at his weapons inferiority. Not at all, I remember reading your comments and having a play. I tried to flex the grip about but couldn't get it anywhere near to being an issue. Maybe your threads somewhere are a little off?

Added a ray to the K

So for those that may stumble across the thread in the futureverse I have finally come up with a solution. I picked up a cheapo weapon light/surefire clone that had a detachable rail mount. Drilled two holes in the plastic handguard and just direct mounted this on. Pressure pad on the other side of the handguard. Doesn't block irons, foregrip can still be taken off for battery replacement (have not re-wired), no "goppy" rails and didn't cost that much. Will report back when if all falls of in the first game.

I Used this: https://moderncombatsports.co.uk/products/t4e-hdr-50-cal-revolver-polymer-holster The paintball & airsoft Umarex revolvers are pretty much identical so it worked well, only a slight bit of wobble. Failing that go for Kydex.

I picked up an AKS74N Essential recently and had my first game with it on Saturday, absolutely no complaints, great bit of kit. A friend has an older (and a bit more "loved") CM.042 full metal AK and I will say that the E&L feels significantly sturdier. However they both chuck bb's out of the barrel without any issues and probably have similar quality internals with comparable longevity. A side note, I think LCT do 7.62 AKMs with the "N" rail if that's what you are after.

Purchased a lovely E&L. Don't plan on doing anything to it modifications wise, perfect just as it is ?

Interesting day for me Saturday. Got back into airsofting recently and really been enjoying it. This weekend I went to a different site as my regular only does alternate weeks. Mid morning game I see my Umarex h8r on the floor and realise my holster has come unbolted from it's belt retention, so am now carrying it. Push back game, on the last point so I set it down at the foot of a tree about 6ft from me. I get hit out a few mins later and realise it has gone, from right next to me. Clearly someone has picked it up thinking it has dropped off (had half a holster hanging off it) and handed it in. But nothing, I asked the marshalls to ask for it at the next briefing, they didn't. Asked again, and they didn't. In the end I had to shout up myself. Nothing. I explained to them clearly that someone has knicked it and they simply said I shouldn't leave things on the floor. So that combined with some fairly confusing game modes and boat loads of people "live" firing in the safe zone with no eye pro on has resulted in some shit tinted glasses for airsoft at the moment. Would be interested to hear others thoughts on this, has anyone else had anything swiped? I have always thought it normal to leave guns propped up etc. but now clearly that is not the right thing to do!

Galaxy MP5k, love the clean classic lines of this little gem and needed something fun for evening cqb. Played a game with it stock however and it was fairly lackluster. Added a tracer unit, new ht motor and better lipo. Second game session with it last week and what a difference, great little piece of kit. The rear sling mount broke quickly so have drilled that out and replaced it with an old keyring. Also added a tritium vial to the front post, great idea nicked from a few pages back.

A great practical bit of kit, especially from PB at £9 and most likely the solution to all current and future mounting issues. But form always takes precident over function and that is, as stated, goppy af. I love the os SAS style of the mp5k, Rogerborg this looks great, nearly the top heavy maglight stegosaurus we crave. Fantastic info on the Galaxy too, thank you very much. I have currently just got it stock with a 7.4 lipo but as you say the trigger feels a little sloppy. Will look into motors. I have put some electrical tape under the slide hop as I have heard this was an issue.

Hi All, I picked up a cheap Galaxy mp5k to have a go at some CQB (usually play woodland and most of the rifles are too hot/unsuitable for indoor fields) This is the standard no frills/no rails version. What have people seen as a solution to mount a flashlight onto this bad boy? The options I have come across: 1 - Gaffa 2 - Drill and mount a small section of rail to the handguard 3 - top rail + canted side mount rail Any suggestions?

Accuracy on my SRC m4 is pretty awful and the hop up just does not seem right compared to other rifles I have fired (slips, wont hold adjustment, hope rubber inside barrel is at slight angle etc.). It does however have a two piece hop, replacement units are available (from marui I think) but I would much rather get a one piece in there that wont be such a pita to find. Any details on how to convert/what to cut to get a one piece into the receiver? Thoughts on this decision would be highly appreciated as I am still unsure. Are there more budget friendly, reliably units out there? Am I looking in the wrong place and should I focus on upgrading the barrel and bucking? Cheers

Sorry to revive this, any details on how to modify the reciever to take a one piece hop? Could be worth a try as the accuracy on this thing is truly horrific and tm units are rather scarce, might take a second look at the bucking. Cheers EDIT: created new thread as this question has no relevance to title

Well it works now, I recon something just realigned when I shook it up a bit. I might replace the hop as it really doesn't want to play ball, very stiff, won't change easily and seems quite cheap anyway.

Haha I have heard! Seems to be solid enough, should get me through a few games. Cheers for the help guys.

Sorted. Turns out that hop up unit in this is made of poo. One of the wee cogs was poorly moulded and was filled in between the teeth not allowing the hop to be turned on. Even now after filing that off the hop is pretty poor. I think I know what I am upgrading first!

As I said, I bought this second hand off here. I have stripped the gun down, piston seems to work fine and the nozzle is in it's normal position. I removed the hop/barrel assembly and noticed that it is impossie to turn the hop on with the wheels however it can be turned on by pressing down on the top. This makes me think the wheels are jammed in place? Should I strip the hop further or is it something that might be replaced?

Doesn't do much. That said my hop wheel only seems to be able to turn about 180o, is this a problem?
