    HOP, whats good and whats not?

    Thanks. From my understanding though, R-Hop is a DIY modification. My AEG currently has the stock hop unit and already comes stock with a 6.03 TBB. I don't see much reason to upgrade the barrel, but would potentially look at upgrading the complete hop unit. (Or would it be best to just replace...

    HOP, whats good and whats not?

    Looking to get a new hop unit for my ARES AM-013 (Honey Badger). I know it is possible to get a bit more distance and good accuracy from a good hop unit. Any hop units that can be recommended for the above? (I assume most standard AEG M4 units will fit/work) Thanks

    Quality BB's.....Brands and where from?

    Has anyone used Rockets Platinum BB's? Can only find limited reviews online, all seem good and much improved over the standard Rockets.

    How many BB's do you lose?

    Does the MadBull ultimate hop work well? I have seen mixed reviews so was not 100% sure. Wondering what kind of improvement it will give over my stock ARES Amoeba hob unit.

    How many BB's do you lose?

    How many BB's do people lose when removing the magazine? When empty, I remove the mag and find 3 bb's drop out, having not fired and made their way out of the magazine. Not having much experience with a variety of AEG's, I only really have my Ares AM-013 to go by. More of a question of...

    Battery Spec.....How important is Discharge rate?

    Thanks for the info. Another battery related question. I have a IMax B6 charger which allows discharge and storage charge of the batteries. To charge the battery, I set the charger to 1A On storage charge, the charger defaults to 0.1A, but can go up to 0.6A for a S2 battery. Any special rules...

    Sorry, didn't read it properly. Blame the early mornings.

    TM VSR G-Spec

    Sealed cylinder should not be an issue. Seen plenty of guides how to drill out the lock pin. Just grab my dremmel and make a few careful cuts. Will have a look at the AA Hop.

    Battery Charger

    Ive just bought a Imax B6 from Amazon. Does all batteries, so also covered if you go lipo in future. Remember you will also need a power supply for it. They are also available from Hobby King, but think UK is out of stock, so can only order in from Europe.

    TM VSR G-Spec

    Thanks. Ive read many a thread on the upgrades and know that almost every part of the VSR is upgradable. Unfortunately most of the higher spec stuff comes with a price. Ive considered upgrading just the sears and spring as I understand the sears will break if just the spring is upgraded...

    TM VSR G-Spec

    So, I recently managed to get my hands on a 2nd hand TM VSR G-Spec completely stock. Doing some shooting in my back garden, I noticed the bb velocity seemed quite low. Speed was slow by the time it hit my target at the far side of the garden. (Around 20 meters). I plan on upgrading trigger etc...

    Battery Spec.....How important is Discharge rate?

    Morning All, I recently bought a battery from a local airsoft show for my Ares Amoeba AM-013 (Honey Badger). The battery is a VP Airsoft 7.4V 1300mAh 30C+ Wanting to get a second battery, I thought id see what else is about and look more into the spec. On the Ares website it states the...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Yeah, original plan was for the Honey Badger and G17 and then VSR later down the line. But a week after getting the order of shiny new parts, a TM VSR G-spec came up for sale second hand 2miles from my work at a VERY good price, so I could not really say no. At least now my weapon side of kit...

    Quality BB's.....Brands and where from?

    Hi, Still being quite new to the airsoft world, I have now bought my own guns and understand the importance of quality ammunition. Can anyone shed some light of what are good brands and best places to buy from? Amoeba / Rockets / G&G / BLITZ etc...... Ive seen some Rockets Platinum for a...

    customising Ares amoeba AM-014

    I managed to get the break down from ARES directly. They are very helpful and quick to reply. PM me if you want the PDF copy. It is the exact same diagram given in the instruction booklet. I agree, and would want to change my stock as well. Not looked into it, so be interesting to see what...

    customising Ares amoeba AM-014

    I've just ordered AM-013 and since ordering I have decided to change a few bits over. One of the first will be swapping the front rail with that of the Octarms with Keymod rail. As they are either slightly longer or shorter than the rail on the badger, I will probably look at getting a slightly...

    Ebairsoft, anyone had problems?

    Thanks. Think I will try and avoid them and opt for an alternative HK retailer.

    Sights and attachments?

    Yeah, been looking through that. Already conclude not really worth buying RIF's from overseas due to high shipping and potential import duty. Found EBairsoft to have a good selection of attachments, grips etc with free shipping, but reviews not to great. Any recommendations on sites for buying...

    Sights and attachments?

    Anyone have recommendations on best places to get sights and attachments (Front grips etc.)?? Also recommended brands for sights? Wanted an ACOG 4x32, but the decent ones all seem quite expensive, so might have to settle for a 552 for now.
