    What have you made?

    Inspired by the Springfield V12s, I present the Detonics... V6? This is eventually going to be mocked up (with further inspiration from Marui’s Vorpal Bunny) with smoothed grips, a front rail, and a battleship grey paintjob. It is an ARMY R45 with an ACM Shield RMS, a Nova trigger, and...

    KTW winchester rifle upgrade

    If I was going to push power limits on a KTW Winchester I'd be looking at Volante Airsoft's green gas conversion. It should allow a significant boost in power without putting extra stress on the gun.

    TM Sig P226 original version and Guarder frame, slide and outer barrel

    What? The P226 is not a particularly difficult gun to work on. This falls under the usual die-cast Guarder MBK problem: their fit is usually pretty poor, and the guns require a lot of hand fitting to work, or sometimes even to be assembled at all. In particular sanding of the frame rails so...

    TM FNX45 Metal Slide -- Volante

    In fairness I think the FNX45 is one of the plasticy-est feeling modern TMs. It'd been a while since I handled a stock TM, and after handling it back-to-back with the VFC the Marui just felt like something out of a Christmas cracker. The performance is probably better but if I was prioritising...

    Opinions on Guarder New Generation Frame Complete Set For MARUI G19 (Euro. Ver./FDE)

    I've got a complete New Generation frame (for the G17) and they're the best on the market, barring possibly the GHK G17 which is receiving a lot of stick online for its apocalyptically bad trigger. It is indeed glass-filled nylon. The only stainless part I can think of in the complete frame...

    You just spin it finger tight, doesn't need anything more than that at all. The muzzle device...

    You just spin it finger tight, doesn't need anything more than that at all. The muzzle device acts as a lock nut. ETA: One thing that literally anyone who owns an EVO with the factory rail system should own is the Airtech Studios Charging Handle Lock. I really cannot recommend this thing...

    Ai500 Big Games. Anyone Been to One?

    I find it insane that any insurer is crazy enough to offer cover to airsoft events that don't use a mandatory chronograph. Broken eyepro levels of hot gun is just crazy. Tell me more about these fights and fires, sounds thrilling.

    Another Idiot Bringing the Game in to Disrepute.

    I dunno about that. Several of the people convicted of planning acts of terrorism have been members of these little clubs, e.g. Jack Renshaw and numerous other members of National Action, and five members of the British branch of Atomwaffen. Letting oxygen thieves gang up seems to be proving a...

    Missing Links in Airsoft?

    VFC have just announced an MG4. There is obviously the gorgeous, albeit very elderly, Inokatsu FN MAG and M240. You can still easily get the significantly less expensive "Echo1" M240. I'd kill for a GBB Mini-14. If GHK's quality control and manufacturing departments could get their...

    Bac British Airsoft Club an Alternative to UKARA

    I don't really agree with this assessment. The biggest problem, as you have correctly identified, is that players' information is not well recorded, very infrequently updated, and not properly accessible. A more advanced system which automated more of these tasks would be a huge boon to the...

    Bac British Airsoft Club an Alternative to UKARA

    This doesn't seem radically different from UKARA in concept. The "BAC" now have to: Partner with as many airsoft sites as possible, which means reaching out to them and getting hold of their public liability insurance certificates, and Creating profiles for each site to access remotely, so...

    Best Guns Under 80cm

    Scorpion EVO. I have actually ridden to a skirmish with a gun in a rucksack before, and no prizes for guessing which gun I chose for a game where I wasn't going to be able to bring a backup.

    Can I Play With Someone Else's UKARA Membership

    That's partially inaccurate. There is no minimum age limit to have a defence - if an 8-year-old played airsoft three times in two months at a site for which public liability insurance is held, he'd have the same defence as anyone else. The only differences are (a) he'd be too young to register...

    Crushing Disappointment in Airsoft

    Might be worth keeping an eye out for a Hephaestus Project T, I think that was well-regarded.

    Tm Mp7a1 (Aeg)

    If you put 11.1V through a TM AEP it will explode. AEPs are fragile, aftermarket and factory parts support is very poor, and their tiny air volume means it's challenging even to get 1J out of them, if I recall correctly. There's a reason people are prepared to pay ridiculous amounts of money to...

    What Brand AEG and Why?

    I split between my ruinously expensive TM SOPMOD and my downright affordable EVO3A1. When it comes to OOTB AEGs I firmly believe the ASG Scorpion EVO3A1 is by a country mile the best gun available - possibly the best OOTB airsoft gun on the market at present, full stop. Yes on the new ones they...

    Imax B6s Are S**t: Change My Mind....

    I agree completely with this. There must be tens if not hundreds of thousands of B6s out there; it is one of the most common hobby battery chargers. The law of averages demands that eventually at least one (even one of the real ones) is going to go up in smoke and take someone’s garage with it...

    New TM Release Announcement. GBB Akm/Mk18/P320

    LCT have an MP5 coming soon-ish (it's in their catalogue as coming soon) which will almost certainly be available with their EBB gearboxes, which are pretty brutal. You don't get the usual TM refinements (stop on empty, bolt lock/release) but you will get a stamped steel receiver and decent...

    Ebr Conversion Help

    @AK47frizzle is spot on. You can get replica EBR chassis for the WE M14 from $450 for the chassis alone up to $1,400 for a fully upgraded gun, but the only AEG conversion kits I'm aware of were the rare, long out of production and eye-wateringly expensive G&P kits for the TM-and-clone M14s...

    The Cardinal Airsoft Sin....

    In descending order of annoyance: Unsafe play, especially blind fire, but also overkill. Coming round a blind corner pre-firing, dumping 10rds into someone at close range, is totally unnecessary; I came to play airsoft, not indulge your sadomasochistic fantasies. Included in this is high-RPS...
