I think @Tacklenailed it with his idea. Four of these ITW Nexus Square loops sewn onto the outside of the trousers for each leg (two a side). Pass the knee pad strap through them, means no way to slide down. Clever and very cheap if you are handy with a sewing machine.

Yep. And Viper Elites Gen 2s can be had for £55 here.

Viper is hardly pricey, it's very much at the lower end of the price scale for those style of trousers, although the quality is reasonable for the money paid. Good enough for most people's LARPsoft/BBWarz.

Have you tried Altaflex knee pads? I've had good luck with them, and own several (different colour) sets. They're amongst the best I've come across. https://www.military1st.co.uk/ok-afl-cd-34-alta-tactical-altaflex-knee-pads-multicam.html

This was must of been a few years ago....what happened?

I noticed that - some of the them were only £20 less than retail. Broken or missing bits. Not really any kind of bargain. Case in point: They were selling these new, in black, for £160 in January.

At the grand old age of 39, yes, I could be your father. You would have been 5 when I started playing Airsoft, and -1 when I started playing Paintball. The reason I mention the Two-tone is because A) only a fucking idiot gets a £350 gun two-toned and B) It shows your inexperience. Please bring us up to date with your real-world airsoft experience that backs up the bollocks you've been coming out with. Apologies, I didn't see this when I made my post

Not quite how remember it. More like: - Uninformed, low post count noob comes onto the forums with his two-tone 'specialist platform' - Makes comments about barrel length - Told length doesn't matter compared to other factors - Berates the experienced hand on here that have been building guns for years - Spouts off stuff about physics, experiments and 'do some research' - Is also an arrogant tosser about it - Calls everyone old, senile and incoherent Yep, that sums it up.

Any issues with mounting in/on the outer barrel? I know that some E&Ls need new holes drilling to marry up to the front of the GB properly.

I want one of these, so I'd be very interested to hear how it goes.

*Sigh* if there is a single factor with inner barrels that determines overall performance, it's not length OR the bore size. It's the quality of the internal finish. You can take a mediocre stock brass barrel, and lap it to a mirror finish. Assuming it's straight and true, it will shoot comparably or better than many aftermarket barrels. Hop units, rubbers and nubs have a much bigger impact on range and accuracy. Edit - Back on topic, I had these arrive today for various projects:

That's a well-trodden subject that's been debated many times before. Let's not go into it here shall we?

Well, this was fun. Haven't had keyboard fisticuffs in a while. We're obviously being trolled now though....

That's hilarious, I was typing the exact same thing.

You did, right here And here Jog on back to Facebook with your two-tone specialised platform. Your 'knowledge' will be invaluable to the knuckle-draggers over there.

Your 'SMG' is exactly the same on the inside as many other guns, irrespective of their length. That's the point. Your gun is not fucking special. Or in any way a 'specialised'. It's a generic M4 that takes SMG mags. That's it.

Hey man, there are plenty of Facebook groups for you young'uns. I'm sure there are many on there, with their super-duper tupperware death cannons, that gladly agree with you. In the mean time, us old farts, who've dicked around with these things for literally decades, will keep to the belief that barrel length is not the primary factor in range and accuracy.

This x1000. A NBB MK23 can out-range many AEGs and exhibit better accuracy whilst doing so - all with a very short inner barrel. Why do you think so many people are strapping 3d printed carbine kits onto them and using them as DMRs? It was proven in paintball many years ago, and also proven in Airsoft a number of times over the years too that longer barrel length =/= better range or accuracy.

+1 for G&G BB's. Used to use them a lot when Z1 (my local) was still on friendly terms with G&G and you could buy them through them. I ordered some sample packs of Valkyrie late last year to test and they seemed good to me. Reviews are also very good. As they are a BB-only company, I'd figure they take quality control seriously.

Sounds like you need to give your mate a good kicking. ? (woohoo, 500th post)

Air voids are fairly normal on lower-end (and some mid range) BB's. To be frank, why are you using Nuprol (well known for their quality issues) in the first place? I mean no disrespect when I say this, but you have a very expensive selection of blasters from what I have seen, I would have assumed you would be using absolute top-drawer BBs from the very outset.

I refer to my previous statement.....?

Never used Nuprol BB's, probably never will. I was chatting with one of the guys at Z1 showroom a few years back, trying to glean who the OEM is for their Blitz BBs. He obviously wouldn't divulge, but he did say that there only a very small number of Airsoft BB factories in Taiwan, and many of the big names have their BB's produced in the same factories as the smaller/cheaper/nastier companies. Much like Christmas Puddings in the UK (with only one or two major factories supplying every supermarket), it's all down to the buying companies' specification and budget. Knowing Nuprol, it's probably at the very lowest end of the quality/cost scale that they can get away with.

I keep meaning to pick up a PTS enhanced stock for one of guns. Can't fault the quality of PTS' Plastics.
