    New player looking for a Gas/CO2 Pistol

    If you don't have the UKARA through within 7 days shoot the site a message on Facebook. AFAIK they usually process the memberships on Mon/Tues providing they have time but sometimes they need a reminder. I waited almost 2 weeks for mine... I shot them a message and I had the email within the hour.

    New player looking for a Gas/CO2 Pistol

    That's me... Come say hi next time... You can test shot it and see if ya like it. I'm booked in for the 14th as my next game day. Oh, and for the time being I always bring the untouched stock slide assembly with me in case of technical difficulty, so you can feel the comparison between custom...

    New player looking for a Gas/CO2 Pistol

    There is the risk of cracking but 9/10 never do... Or won't for a long time. By that time you'll either be looking to upgrade anyway... Or you can just replace the slide with an original stock slide quite cheaply. There are other parts of the Hi-capas that break eventually too... But again...

    New player looking for a Gas/CO2 Pistol

    With a TM Hi-capa, you'll only get issues with cold weather if/when you start upgrades and this is easily overcome with a slightly higher pressure green gas. It can be further overcome with different magazines too with better thermal properties. I used my Hi-capa stock at sub 5 degrees C and...

    FPS limit?

    I had one of these moments today... My gun chrono'd at 349.6 on a fresh mag. I knew it would before hand because I did my own chrono at home and it never goes above that number but I was too lazy to change it right away. I was a little too exuberant with my piston o-ring so I'm gonna have to...

    Novritsch and his new NBB pistol, (probably called the SSM23)

    Any old 'Glow in the dark stuff'? Like this?  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Glow-In-The-Dark-Tape-Thick-Thin-Stickers-Neon-Light-Switch-Green-Luminou-Safety-/183501293372

    Novritsch and his new NBB pistol, (probably called the SSM23)

     May I ask what tape you use that glows for that long? I was thinking about using UV reactive glowing paint but this tape sounds like a better plan!

    Pistol torches and some questions

    Im using an X300U clone on mine. It's on there the entire time I'm playing and I remove it when I'm finished. As for 144a, I would expect 10 degrees + but the only way to be sure is to test it as it really depends on the weight of the entire slide assembly and how well lubed/how smooth the...

    Best small tracer unit.

    Could be worse... Could have convinced him to spend £700 on a SWAT loadout.

    Maple Leaf Hop Up Unit and Inner Barrel?

    I'm using a Gunsmithbro hop unit with ML autobot 50 and 80 degree and an elite barrel. So far I've only tested the 80 but the results were great. Dead eye straight on .2's and half hop with a slight curve to the left at the limit of its range (30-40m on .2) due to uneven hop pressure. I've...

    Need input/advice for 'tightening Trigger, safety & Hammer' on TM R28 (1911 A1) n

    Possibly the pin and spring under the safety is worn. Could replace them. Or try bending the safety so it fits more snug (rubs) against the frame. Stiffer hammer spring. (This will reduce gas efficiency slightly) Not sure. Maybe someone else could help here. But possibly a new trigger bar...

    Helmets for BIG heads

    Exactly this. When you've been told as a child, from medical professionals, that one more severe knock to the back of the head could kill you, it's enough to put the fear in you. Granted my skull will have re-strengthened by now but I'm still gonna wear it, even if it only increases my chances...

    Helmets for BIG heads

    Some, not all. Indeed. Some is better than none... And if I thought I was at increased risk of falling/slipping/gaining a head injury that could endanger my life during those activities, I would, same as I would riding a bike.

    Helmets for BIG heads

    Bit of both for me really. Playing CQB with trip and slide hazards etc. I almost killed myself several times as a kid, falling/slipping backwards and smashing the back of my head into the ground. With a helmet I can run around and do stupid shit without fear. But it can also look cool. I...

    Best small tracer unit.

    I have the Lighter (Not the S)... The lighter S was just too small for the look I was going for... plus this... See video. I can safely say the Lighter never missed a beat. Awesome from start to finish and as the name suggests... very, very, very light. Almost imperceptible in the hand.

    Nozzle return spring disengaging?

    It doesn't have one. It just sits in the slot of the BBU on top of the nozzle. Well after my first game day with the new slide assembly I can safely say I can't live without the return spring and the stock one eventually did the same thing as the uprated one. Had to remove my short stroke kit...

    Nozzle return spring disengaging?

    It's definitely not moving. Ive tried to move it once assembled and it's definitely snug. Initially I had the BBU screw thread locked in position which I then had to break upon discovering the issue, so it's not as though the screw came loose either. This is certainly a possibility. I...
