    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Played the opening day at UCAP Vanquish, located at the Citadel in Dover. Like a lot (most?) of the other UCAP sites except GreenOps, it's in a disused prison. I believe this was also used for an AI event, but today's was 120 or so players rather than jamming everyone in the world in. Quality...

    Tokyo Marui SIG 553+

    Looks like another refresh. Mosfet and, FRP (I think) " Increased rigidity with reinforced resin Reinforced resin is used for the handguard and upper/lower receiver, providing increased rigidity compared to conventional resin parts."

    He seemed nice enough chap, just inexperienced. My worry was more hearing that statement at a site that is mostly Rhododendron CQB with limited sightlines for sniping, so the possibility for below MED engagements seemed high. He was happy enough to listen to words of advice like "If you're not...

    Heard at safety brief today - "Does anyone know how far 30m is? I've never used a sniper rifle before"... ? (I mean, at least he asked, but, you know...)

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I've got one of the Safarilands for this particular light (which doesn't hold the gun well without it) so now thinking about buying one of these just so I can use the holster. Even though I have perfectly fine other holsters and lights and don't in any way need it...

    Silverback SRS Thread

    Same as every other bolt gun tbh. The only issue with the SRS is how much more exposed the bolt is to crap and how rapidly it therefore generates crunchy grit paste. At least it's easy to take out and clean.

    *Help Please* MC51 SD Conversion

    Yes (source, was the first gun I bought, 23 years ago). There's a couple of ways of doing it, and there used to be a good guide here but it seems to be down at the moment. I have saved some pictures though. Or you can do it the lazy way below

    Gate NanoHARD in M249

    From memory, they can be a bit loose, but it doesn't really matter, as long as they're engaging properly. It's just a question of striking the balance between trigger responsiveness and accidental actuation. I have found the easiest way to adjust it is to build the gearbox in gun, etc and then...

    Gate NanoHARD in M249

    Probably just a case of backing off the grub screw on the trigger a bit, or cutting down/bending the microswitch arm, if you haven't already done that (because the unadjusted ones seem to inevitably get sucked into the gears at some point and make it into a runaway gun).

    Gate NanoHARD in M249

    Have a look at the pic here. May be helpful. Edited - Actually, probably not helpful if you're talking about wiring to the microswitch, because I don't have a picture of that. I think from memory that's just the bottom two contacts to wire to, but may vary depending on your switch. Fairly easy...

    TM Glock 17 gen5 mos

    Yes, runs fine on the Gen 4 mags.

    Marui G36c+

    Okay, but *apart* from the recoil shocks, magnetic fire control in the MP5, MWS system, gas AK's, gas semi auto saiga, new pistols, electric shotguns, recoil MK46, sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the...

    Marui G36c+

    Looks like Marui are giving the minor update treatment to the G36c now. Mosfet, different sights and allegedly better finish (although I suspect it'll be the same as the recoil ones, but I could be wrong). https://www.tokyo-marui.co.jp/products/electric/standard/512

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Did not play as I had non-airsoft plans (surely not!) and was mildly annoyed that the first sunny day is the one that I'm not free. Then remembered that my leg is buggered anyway so it would have made no difference. The Ghillie discussion is probably one for another topic, since there's bound...

    Engagement Distance for Snipers

    Same with the bipod. Most of the time they're just dead weight and you're better off bracing against an arm/leg/tree, etc. Particularly with VSR, adding a bipod is probably going to near double the weight anyway (okay, a slight exaggeration, but then again I've got this Parker-Hale bipod that...

    Another newbie... haha!

    You've also got UCAP GreenOps within an hour of you that is pretty easy to get to and well run.

    MP5 Mag Pouches

    I've got HSGI tacos in both pistol and extended pistol and both work, although the extended give you more coverage unsurprisingly. A lot of it can come down to play style and what other guns and rigs you run. You haven't mentioned if this is for belt or chest/plate carrier or both. For...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    My Worthing review is probably going to be *fractionally* shorter than @Impulse's. Got to Worthing, car park vaguely swamp like, but passable. Some hilarious sliding on mud/parking attempts observed. Chronoed and tested weapons. Glock 17 Gen 5 is a beast and hitting 50m on the range without...

    CYMA MP5 cocking tube

    Hard to say for sure, but it doesn't look like an allen key bolt, more like a roller pin. Probably needs a punch (or screwdriver) and a hammer to tap it out. For future reference, you might be better putting this in Technical Advice > Electric Guns.
