    Limiting a full-auto gun to semi-auto

    Thanks for the tips, it certainly is a pain in the arse. I've spent a good few hours today with different guns and batteries trying to make this thing work, but it just isn't happening. The closest I've got is a two round burst for the first trigger pull after programming, which then reverts...

    Limiting a full-auto gun to semi-auto

    Hi all, I'm having an issue at the moment that I thought someone more tech-y might be able to shed some light on. I've recently picked up an Action Custom Stirling, thinking it might be fairly decent for a lightweight CQB setup. The only problem is that it doesn't have a semi-auto setting. Much...

    That was pretty entertaining. Need a Flecktarn SAAV though! :P

    Secondary Weapon

    Nothing wrong with an AEP. As a backup weapon for when your primary runs out of ammo/battery, anything is better than nothing. I even ran with a springer pistol for a while. I must admit though, I had a AEP Mac10 for a couple of games, and found it to just be not up to scratch compared to the...

    Airsoft Cringe

    I find that there's a lot of truth in this poster - it's true that 99% of people would not have faced our struggles. Like losing a pistol magazine in the biggest woodland site you've ever visited, or buying a sniper rifle and realising that you're pants at sniping, or forgetting to bring your...

    Airsoft Holiday in the Sun

    Anyone have any experience of airsoft events in Japan? I'm heading there later this month; seeing as it's the birthplace of airsoft, I might have a poke around if there's something accessible to Englanders like myself...

    Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

    People who bring 'special' equipment that requires 'special' rules to be made up just for them. Had a chap bring a riot shield to a game yesterday. Needless to say his team won the 'plant the bomb' game by a landslide on account of the fact that he was allowed to walk right up to the objective...

    Rifs at car boot

    Bad. My view is that it's bad. I'm surprised no-one alerted the police. Even without selling them, displaying them in public is still a breach of the VCRA, no?

    On Site Chronoing

    I've only been to one site that didn't ask for guns to be chrono-d. I was pretty surprised by that. It was convenient, but had obvious safety implications regarding those who either didn't know the FPS of the weapons, or were untrustworthy (or both). I recall one instance in my early days when...

    Semi Auto Only - what is your opinion?

    Personally I'm a semi-auto player, but I always like the idea of having full-auto available for covering someone or suppressing a larger group of enemies. When it comes to full-auto being used against me, I feel that the game would be diminished if we were limited to semi only. I like that...

    Are sidearms necessary?

    I went a long time without getting a pistol - tried using a Mac 10, a Sten, and a shotgun as sidearms for when the primary failed. The problem with those is how long they take to deploy, and how much space the process takes. Now I've finally got a M1911, I can't believe I waited so long. It's...

    Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

    Oooo....I've got one. Minor annoyance, and a really pedantic one at that. When people put 'O.N.O.' on their sale threads. A lot of people don't seem to realise that 'O.N.O.' means 'Or nearest offer', which means the closest offer to the asking price should be taken. So when someone asks for...

    Stuck on Options, Please Help

    I've got experience with two of these (sort of), so thought I'd weigh in my opinion. I've got a G&G M14, which I know you said was too pricey for what you're doing, but to be honest, unlike the CYMA, the internals don't need replacing. I've been using mine stock for about 6 months now, and...

    Well F*ck me sideways on Zero One.....

    From the looks of it he posted his question in both 'General Discussion' and 'Advice for new players'. The General Discussion one has Sitting's reply in it - the advice for new players one has no replies. At the risk of insulting people's intelligence, is there no way people are just getting...

    Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

    I think the yelling orders thing is a bit of a grey area. On one hand, yes, some guy screaming for everyone to move up can be really annoying, especially if he's not doing it himself, or if the situation doesn't dictate it as appropriate. On the other hand, I've seen that people can be a bit...

    Camoraids.com Anyone use them?

    While I've not used them myself, the guy who runs the company is a regular skirmisher at the same site I go to, and he tends to have a stall up selling some of the stuff from their website. There's a fair few people there who have bought things from him, and they seem more than happy. I'd say...

    Is using a red dead rag a good idea?

    It would be handy at some of the sites I go to. Too many times I've seen a guy just standing in the middle of the game zone, and watched him through my scope for a few minutes wondering if he's in the game or not. No arm up, but also not participating in the game. Is he about to go back to the...

    Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

    One recently I've had experience of...the occasional person who will stalk your profile on sales forums. Someone will message me a low-ball offer, and I'll either want to wait a day or two to see if something else comes in, or I'll be at work and not be able to reply that instant. Then I'll get...

    Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

    When you go back to the respawn towards the end of a losing game, and there's a group of people just standing there looking miserable and saying 'there's no point trying any more'. Bonus annoyance points for when they try to persuade you from going back out yourself.

    Who thinks theres anything wrong with two tone guns?

    Nothing to stop them once they're registered for UKARA...but before that, it's classed as manufacturing a RIF, and is rather illegal :) EDIT: I forget the exact wording, but the non-black color needs to be particularly bright, otherwise it's not classed as two toned.
