    Looking at a browning high power mk3 we tech

    Just to add also don't store the pistol with a magazine in. Prompted by this thread I dug out my Browning for a quick plink and realized I had left a mag in it since its last outing. This was enough pressure over time to bend the chinesium metal pin that holds the spring that forms the valve...

    Umarex HK USP 9

    I'm happy to run a metal slide all year round and just upgrade to red or black gas as required. Provided you are using higher power gasses just to offset the temperature to get back to 'stock' green gas performance it causes no more wear on the pistol than green gas (the idea being the gas...

    Helmets - Yay or Nay?

    I would definitely say get a helmet. The best feature of any helmet regardless of the style is that you don’t have to wear it if it isn’t appropriate for you at the time. But if you don’t have one then you don’t have the option. I will always have a helmet in my kit bag and wear it about 80% of...

    vfc gbb vs tm ngrs mp5a5

    As an actual skirmish weapon the WE MP5 GBB is much more serviceable than the VFC. The VFC has a bolt carrier made of cheese which will break if subjected to a few HK slaps (there is a Badabing video on this, but I also have some personal experience with this with a friend who got a VFC MP5...

    Looking at a browning high power mk3 we tech

    I have two of these that I do skirmish and I love them for the look and the cool factor. Why do I have two, simply because even as a backup sidearm I wont trust one to last a whole game day........ I also have a stock of Part #30 (I order them 10 at a time and will order another 10 when I get...

    what zoom magnifier should i use?

    I concur with all the above comments. I have a largish scope on my Mk12 as I like the look, but it rarely goes beyond its lowest 3x setting. On the very few occasions it does go higher than 3x its on large open sites when I'm using it for spotting rather than for actually taking a shot. Glass...

    THE TM MWS thread

    Yes the MRT and MWS uppers are interchangeable. So much so that I have a build with an MTR lower and MWS upper. Any accessory that will fit one will fit the other (assuming you have the correct rail fitted, i.e m-loc accessories obviously won’t fit if you have a keymod rail. Etc).

    TM MWS DMR Build

    At higher joule limits heavier bb’s make more sense. A 2.5 joule DMR rifle will get much more benefit from firing .45g bbs at 345 FPS than a 1.3 joule full auto rifle will get from firing .45g bbs at 249 FPS. The original poster said he was working to joule limits and seemed unhappy that his...

    TM MWS DMR Build

    The only reason to increase the barrel length on the MWS is to increase the energy transferred to the BB thus upping the FPS. If you don’t want to do this then a longer inner barrel doesn’t offer any benefit. Just as a thought in the U.K. most DMRs will be semi locked so they can make use of...

    Good durable metal 1911 replica mainly for dry-firing without gas?

    For what you want just get the cheapest one you like the look of they will all be fine. If you are ever actually planning on shooting it in a meaningful way then this is the one case where I really would suggest there are no solid alternatives to the later Marui's such as the M41A1 or the MEU...

    MP5 SD6 SWAT Top Rail

    The high level claw mount that TM did was a copy of a RS item. The real ones are now pretty affordable as they have fallen out use in favour of the lower profile screw down mounts due to their weight and the fact that the newer style mounts give you a much lower height over bore, so a noticeably...

    Rate My Window Breach

    I'll never forget the first time I did a 'window breach' on exercise. I was the first man in. We ran across the open ground in front of the building threw up the scaling ladder and I was up it like a whippet down a rabbit hole (I was a lot younger then, now its more like a St. Bernard trying to...

    GHK Glock 17 confirmed

    At £300 i'll order one the day they are available in the uk. Any more than that and i'll wait for the used ones to turn up, which is bound to happen once a few of them get played with and the disappointed purchasers realise a £400 pistol doesn't immediately turn you into John Wick.

    Tm Mp5 NGRS on Horizon?

    I got to play with a friends one last night for a couple of hours (plinking and doing some drills in his garden range) and I thought it was pretty nice for an AEG, but nothing that was going to convince me to trade in my GBBR WE Apachies. Notably split times between shots were consistently a...

    GHK Glock 17 confirmed

    If I can see properly and that is $400 USD then by the time it reaches the U.K. it is going to be at least £300 (possibly more). That is a pretty strong price for a GBB pistol. I hope I’m wrong and they come in cheaper. I’d be prepared to pay £300 but any more and I’ll be passing.

    First time GBBR?

    I love gas. The sense of immersion is so much better than with AEG as they just feel like sewing machines to me now. Even the ones with recoil aren’t as satisfying as a good GBBR. That said for a regular skirmish (and depending on how you play) you may find yourself at a disadvantage compared...

    WE Apache (MP5) front rail

    Tell me more.... I also have an SD that I would be interested in upgrading if its not too expensive and won't mean modifying the actual gun. How are they produced and what is the fitment like. what I really want to do is add a few m loc attachment points for a torch laser and gubbinz.

    WE Apache (MP5) front rail

    I actually have both variants, (as well as an MP5k) but it is the A series that I am looking for a rail for. https://www.weairsoft.com/we-apache-a3-gbbr-black.html
