    Sites worth travelling to.......

    This is a good one, I’ve only ever played my local sites and the Gaol thread has prompted me to book there next month. Its been on my list but ironically its potential closure is the thing that has gotten me off my arse to actually plan a visit.

    THE TM MWS thread

    I’m pretty sure I’ve got some of those resettable hand warmers in and old sock draw so could stuff those in my mag pouches.

    THE TM MWS thread

    Cheers I’ll give them a watch and no, I will not be entertaining any thoughts of skirmishing in those sorts of temperatures.  I’d frankly have doubts even were I in a real conflict quite frankly. I’ve got the later DE stanags and some GM Pmags.  My old Bulle chest rig has internal M4 pouches so...

    THE TM MWS thread

    What is the practical temp at which you stop running your MWS?  I’m new to GBBRs and have been having a great time throwing money at my Double Eagle MWS clones, but as we’re heading into winter I’m wondering if/when I’ll need to shelve them (or HPA tap them). I know anecdotally they cope well...

    Genuine Magpul CTR vs clones

    Not much to preface this thread with, is the genuine CTR noticeably better than the clones?  Are there any particularly decent clones to go for?    It’s going on an MWS tube and minimal stock wobble is preferred without having to faff with shims.

    Public webbing walk?

    OP - I'd swap the 'can' in your posed question with 'should'. I think in this hobby it's really worth stepping outside of our little bubble and taking a look at ourselves from an outsider's perspective.   Our hobby is fucking weird. 'Oh yeah, at the weekend I dress up like a soldier and run...

    Are non-bio BBs actually any better?

    I've decided given the negligible cost to just buy a bag of each and find out for myself, but based on replies I'm going to guess in a blind trial I won't be able to tell the difference!

    First RIF Opinions?

    Reviews for the Freya are generally very good.  A guy at my local site has one and has no complaints with it.  He's changed the barrel and bucking in his, but by his own account that is in chasing the last few % of accuracy rather than any shortcomings with the stock items.  I think he plays Sat...

    Best GBB under £400

    At the risk of derailing the OPs thread, how do they compare to GBBRs?  I'm a recent GBBR convert, to the extent that my previously entirely satisfactory AEG no longer interests me, despite its obvious benefits in the cold. I know an EBB is never going to match a gas powered BCG, but are the...

    Are non-bio BBs actually any better?

    I've only ever used bio BBs, never had any issues, no noticeable fouling in any of my guns. However, I frequently hear (usually in GBBR discussions) of people only using non-bios in their guns for reasons ranging from accuracy to gun cleaning. Is this just recycled clap-trap from the days when...

    Stores with good after sales

    Thanks all, I've used Firesupport a few times but never needed to use their after sales so will keep them in my list. BZ have come up a few times in my searches so I'll add them to my roster of places to throw money at.

    Best GBB under £400

    Undoubtedly one of the Double Eagle MWS clones. Around £350 depending on the model but they are all very solid and trade blows with their Marui counterparts. Leaves you another £50 for a second mag, but expect to buy more.

    Is Discord a terrible alternative to forums or am I just using it wrong

    Yep - this one is my most frequented and equally most frustrating at times.

    Stores with good after sales

    Most retailers are pretty reliable at getting a box delivered these days, but after some pretty shaky after sales support on a recent order where the wrong item was shipped, I'm on the hunt for somewhere new to shop. Any recommendations for stores that actually have well organised and prompt...

    Is Discord a terrible alternative to forums or am I just using it wrong

    Well, the thing is you might be - some of the groups have some great info/contributors, just the platform sucks.  Would be great if all those people would join up to the forum. In case it wasn't becoming self-evident, yes I am petulantly demanding everyone use the internet the way I want...

    Is Discord a terrible alternative to forums or am I just using it wrong

    True, I freely admit to some old-git nostalgia about how much better it was in my day and all this used to be fields and a Freddo was only 5p etc…

    Is Discord a terrible alternative to forums or am I just using it wrong

    It’s not so much the groups themselves (some have some really useful info and knowledgeable contributors) but the actual platform that I dislike. The entire UX design is just a shit experience for the kind of long form discussion that nerdy hobbies like ours benefit from.

    Is Discord a terrible alternative to forums or am I just using it wrong

    This is really a bit of a self-indulgent moan about the internet not being the way I like it anymore, I expect the appeal of this thread (or otherwise) will largely hinge on your age, but anyway... I'm in a few airsoft related Discord groups, namely because they contain info I can't get...

    G&G AR15 Drum Magazine charging cable sourcing

    Hard to tell from the picture, if they are like the balance lead connectors from a lipo then what you are looking for is JST-XH female to female 4pin.  Couple of quid (or € for you I guess) from eBay, Amazon etc

    If you could change the joule limit, would you?

    None of my local sites have a decent range for dialling in accuracy (usually you just have to find something noteworthy to aim at between games and guesstimate its distance).  I'd like a morning to tinker with my HPA gun and just try it across of spread of PSI settings to see where it becomes...
