    Genuine Magpul CTR vs clones

    I found the genuine CTR stock to be way better than the clone one I bought. Once you lock it in place, there's basically no wobble and I've used mine on two MWSs with the same result. The clone one on the other hand, once it's locked in place it's still wobbly, and the QD sling points aren't...

    I want a new sniper rif.

    I personally wouldn't go for the sport version. They're great entry level rifles, but the Tac-41 doesn't need many internal upgrades anyway, and I'd much rather have that sturdier shell of the regular one. If you go for the sport version and either you or your son suddenly decides to start...

    I want a new sniper rif.

    I had built two VSRs (one spring and one HPA, using a co2 adapter in the stock because I hate lines and tanks) to a high level of detail before I made the jump to a pair of KJW m700, so if it didn't work out I knew I'd have two reliable and damn good shooting sniper rifles to fall back on. By...

    I want a new sniper rif.

    I'm going to preface this by saying that gas bolt actions are objectively less consistent than springers or HPA sniper rifles, suffer from insane joule creep, the mags are expensive, have low ammo capacity, and weigh a lot. And you need to tweak them at the start of every game day because the...

    I want a new sniper rif.

    For bolt actions with that budget, and sticking with springers (because I'd 100% buy a gas bolt action if it was me, but I'm weird), I'd go with a Tac-41 Lite with the recon stock. The lite stock is cheaper, but... it doesn't inspire me. The recon stock looks more sturdy and more useful. Still...

    Public webbing walk?

    I think it's technically legal, though you could still get the police called on you by another walker who just sees someone walking around in military kit which looks filled with gear; they may not know exactly what it is, but I could see someone getting concerned and making the call. I'm no...

    Are non-bio BBs actually any better?

    Yeah, I had the same 2kg of .32s for aaaaaaaages because I only run them in pistols and 1.1J guns... and I'm a bolt action / DMR enjoyer, so basically only pistols. That bag lasted me over a year and I had no issues with them from start to finish. Don't store them in damp areas, and don't put...

    Best GBB under £400

    I have a TM AKM and it's great. Shoots like a dream and is very efficient. I'll get a wood kit for it eventually, but my MWSs took priority.

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Did you need to do much internally for this to work well? I'm... potentially picking up two WE rifles in the near future (an m14 and an SVD); the m14 will basically not be WE any more with the parts that will be in it, but the SVD will be much more vanilla, so I want to know if I'm setting...

    Best GBB under £400

    If you're only budgeting £400, you're not getting a good m4 or AK, partially because magazines tend to be £50 per mag and they're only 35rds each, so you will need at least a few. Not an m4 or AK, but the KWA mp9 has always been pretty decent and would come within your budget, including mags...

    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    Yeah, one of the great parts of Worthing is they have a range that goes out to 85m, so I'm always using it to zero my sights and set my guns up, though since I have to move scopes between guns I usually have to do this at the start of every game day. It's also where I did all my testing around...

    Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic

    Been running civvie kits all summer, but now that the leaves are falling and sight lines will open up a little, even if Worthing is still difficult to snipe at in winter with all the twiggy bits, I feel like it may be time to return to the LRRP setups. Worn with m81 (freedom and apple pie...

    Storing Gas / BBs etc

    +1 for real ammo tins. I have two real ammo tins, one for sniper/DMR ammo, one for rifle/pistol ammo. I chuck a few silicon packs in each to make sure there's no moisture that will degrade my BBs Plus, it's immersive.

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I've been tempted to put a Russian kit together myself, because EMR + smersh (also in EMR) is a vibe. Don't have many Russian weapons though (I don't like AEGs or HPA that isn't fully self-contained, and I'm not shelling out on a WE SVD) so I would probably need to modernise my AKM, without...

    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    I'm currently trying to lose weight because getting fitter makes airsoft (and basically everything in day to day life) much easier. I really miss the times when I was much fitter and airsoft was easier and I was able to do so much more than I can right now. Definitely feeling the limitations of...

    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    I will say that my arguments for higher limits will come from a position of bias as I pretty much always do long range airsoft and it's what I enjoy (my longest hit in a game was 124m, but it was basically archery from an elevated position), but with how good hop ups are now, bolt actions and...

    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    I would 100%. If I had my way it'd be: CQB: 1.14J - no MED (pistols, shotguns, rifles, SMGs) Assault: 1.5J - 10m MED, semi-only (rifles) Gunner: 1.88J - 30m MED, must be deployed, must carry a 1.14J sidearm/secondary (LMGs, MMGs, HMGs) Marksman: 2.32J - 30m MED, semi-only, no trigger...

    Cringe in Airsoft

    I will embrace the cringe. I do plan at some point on getting some cameras and becoming yet-another-youtube-airsoft-sniper, though I have no compulsion to make a career of it and play into the drama-farming Youtube algorithm. I do think I have some interesting things to share though, part of...

    YouTube channels on Airsoft

    Don't threaten me with a good time! But I do agree that some real-steel shooting practices do work well in airsoft, while others (most of them) very much do not; some do work with a bit of modification though. I've got some legacy US military sniper handbooks and training aids, obviously not up...
