  1. The greatest Irony I found with the debate was the section on the NHS. Milliband was cutting into Cameron over 'ruining' the NHS. Next minute the Welsh lady turned round and ripped into Milliband pointing out it was his party that cut spending in Wales...

     

    Ill probably vote conservative as the local MP seems to actually be a stand up guy who is not afraid to go against even his own party. UKIP certainly make a very good argument and Europe has been a cancer to us as far as our exports are concerned. However Cameron has promised a referendum anyway and if he does not deliver he can kiss my vote goodbye next time.

  2. There was a 9mm conversion for the AUGs but they still used a propriety magazine. I have never heard of a conversion for one to an MP5 magazine and if by some miracle someone made a conversion magwell for an airsoft rifle I would imagine it would be to run replica 9mm AUG magazines and not MP5 ones. I dont think it would work anyway though as the feed nipple sits towards the front of the magwell but the magazine release is at the back. A MP5 magazine is a lot shorter so the magazine catch would need a hell of a lot of work. To actually do it it would cost more then just buying some regular AUG magazines.

     

    Edit

    Here is a link to some info on the real steel ones:

  3. Slightly off topic but does anyone find certain chrono's really dont like GBB? I have an xcortech something or another and I have some problems getting it to read shots with the L85. The site I played at today used the same one and in 10 rounds only one registered.

  4. Propane (Camping Gas such as Colamans) lasts a lot longer then green gas. I'm still on the first can of Propane and I have done 1 1/2 skirmish with it +quite a few mags through it setting the rifle up. Its about £20 for 2 cans of propane and then about 15-25 for the adaptor which will last ages as long as you look after it. Bare in mind this is on a gas rifle as well which had a much much bigger gas reserve in the magazine.

  5. Ubunto is great, till you want to do anything with it and realise the horror of the command lines. I brought the wrong OS when I built mine and had Ubunto installed as a temporary measure. Installing the OS was easy but past that I did not even bother trying to install anything and just used it as a browser. Get a copy of windows ASAP unless you really want to learn how to use Linux.

  6. Here are my 2 so far:

    First up is a bog standard L85A2 with Susat:

    Before anyone picks me up on it I know the front sight pillar needs to come of :)

     

    Second Rifle is an F88 Austeyr:

    Note i've only created the Original or A1 version of the rifle Thale produced by using a TM body and a Beta Project F88 Flash hider.

    Here is a good comparison picture which shows the difference between a Thale AUG and the original Austrian version:

    They are both carbine versions hence why the barrels a bit different. Unfortunetly I lost the Gas Block on my rifle falling down a hill which is why you cant see it in the pictures of mine :/

    What I would really like to create one of Thale's A2 variants:

    Converting an airsoft A2 receiver should be possible, however no one sells the dam things separate so I have a hunt on my hands.

    The A1 works nicely for me though as the NZ armed forces used DPM's, MK6 helmets and various forms of british webbing but, ironically enough due to the uselessness of the L85A1, they still use the F88A1s still to this day.

  7. That is another debate entirely :P My view though is that eyes can only take in the equivalent of 28 FPS so as long as its more then that I dont care lol.

    Besides there is no hard in future proofing your pc :)

  8. Wireless should no make a difference to download speed unless your router and adaptor card is rubbish (which I doubt it). To stream in HD you need a minimum of 1Mbps upload- if your playing multilayer then that obviously needs to be more. Most IP packages that offer that kind of upload are generally the upper end of the market.

    Using a wireless router will increase your latency substantially though which is why its generally considered to be best to use a Cat 5/6 cable to the router instead.

  9. If you leave it on the HDD then there is no point in having an SSD! There is a very good reason I am strongly encouraging you to get one. At least leave it till you have all the money together tomorrow and think about it.
