Argh, this upgrading thing is a slippery slope. I wish one of you would have warned me! :) So with the AA hop up, the adjustment is done with a Alan key through the magazine port. This is not ideal so I've been looking at a TDC unit. Anyone use one, what are they like and where did you get...

Met Mr Hewes today and spent 20min’s talking to him. He’s honestly a top bloke and exactly like he is on film. The FV4005 is an impressive bit of kit. As for the VSR, fitted the parts yesterday afternoon, was more fiddly than hard to do. The rifle works but yet to test it outside of the garden...

We had a look at a Mk23, nice pistol but huge in his little hands. The last few games my son has been going with a friend, him with the VSR and his friend with a AEG. They play at being a sniper team, one shooter, one spotter. I’m not sure how effective they are but they’re having fun creeping...

@Impulse That’s great news and great advice, thank you. I’ll order the parts you recommend, minus the barrel for now and see how he gets on. I’ve never stripped a rifle before but watched a few videos and it doesn’t look too hard. thanks again. Dave

My son really likes his totally standard VSR10 but wants more range. I’ve got quotes for upgrading and am more than happy to pay.  As he’s only 12 I have a real worry about his ability to cock the gun. Guys we’ve spoken to at games have been more than happy to let my son try cocking their...

Thank you for the quick reply Asomodai, The problem was happening when I had just filled the magazine and started shooting right away, the mag was really cold. I’ll refill and let the mag warm up before shooting and see the difference.  I did take the slide off and thought it looked dry but...

I’ve just bought my first gas pistol and am having an issue. It’s a TM MEU 1911 The first few mag worth of BB’s I put through the gun worked fine. Now I’m starting to have issues where the blow back is not working and not loading the next BB, I have to manually cock it it get it going again. It...

We were at Dogtag today as well. Enjoyed the new area, I didn’t know that arena with the ‘castle’ existed so it was a surprise.  I did hear the issues with hit taking, the marshal had to remind everyone after the first round which was the first time I’ve heard them do that. A shame that was...

Thanks Rogerborg, I’m sure the Marshal said 1.17 but will check next time we crono. I need to understand this ‘joule creep’ and ‘hop up’ terminology. Still don’t really get it. ?

Thanks for the reply's guys. I didn't realise this thread was still going :) It is a brand new stock TM VSR we have. My son (12) is happy with the range using .28's at the moment, I'm sure we will be upgrading the internals at some point though. My worry with heavier springs is his ability to...

Not at the moment, my son said he had a great time so that’s all that matters for now. The distance rule didn’t worry him yesterday but let’s see what happens after a few games. I’d be interested to see the difference in performance v BB weights first before changing springs, etc. No rush…. I...

Thanks impulse, he’s been watching people like Sillyghillie and CamMan, I’ve just seen the prices of a decent suit so yes, field craft will come first! The rest I used to have for camera lenses had polystyrene balls inside so was light and you could shape them, bit like a small beanbag. I also...

Thanks, I told him to just use the terrain or branches to hold the gun up. Anything that makes it notably heavier I think is bad news, one of its key things is it’s so light.  I’ll get him to try again and see what he says. Great idea on the pouch, I’ve used something similar for camera lenses...

Well I said I’d report back. I think the gun crono’d at 1.17 with .28 BB’s. Marshall’s said we had to adhere to the 30m rule which was fine. We will use the heavier BB’s as recommended by you guys next time but I’d already bought the .28’s so thought we’d use them as a test. How did the games...

Just done this journey myself. My son and I played four games as rental before buying any rifles. This was to make sure it’s something we wanted to do and also get the UKARA defence so we didn’t have to buy two tone. For protective stuff I’ve got full face covering (goggles, face shield) hat...

We actually bought the rifle from Surplus Store. I won’t be able to get over there before Saturday but happy to give it a go with stock spring. I found a hank of rope in the garage that is 30m and laid it out, it’s actually not as far as I thought. Looks like our usual engagement distance for...

Thanks Rogerborg,  I've got a lot to learn on this, I've never fired a boltie and haven't put a round through our new gun yet. I'll see what happens the weekend and report back :) I think we've fallen into the typical noob trap of getting over excited and buying loads of stuff. Hey ho, what...

I've just worked it out using an online calculator on .28 BB's which I'm planning on using. Totally get that it would be impractical to treat each gun on a case by case biases and I will stick to the 30m rule if asked too.   I'll talk to the marshals when I get the gun chrono'd on Saturday and...

Hello, I'm going to ask this question at our local site this weekend but was wondering on the thoughts of the collective. We've just bought a VSR10 and reading the local sites rules the engagement distance is 30m for snipers.  I've worked out that the joule rating of the VSR10 will be around...

My son and I have bought our first sniper rifle, a TM VSR10 G. It was a choice between a pistol each or the rifle. The pistols will have to wait… We bought a couple of mil-dot scopes second hand and have been told they are ok although haven’t tried using them yet. The scopes are 3-9x40 and a...
