    Please help - locking a DMR to semi-auto

    Just trim a bit off the selector plate. No ugly irreversible external modifications, gun won't go into full auto, no problem. A better solution is a programmable FCU, especially because there will be times you want to be able to go into full-auto (e.g. to resolve a semi-auto lockup, which is...

    Zed Adventures have lost a site.

    Indeed. We aren't in dire need of more scrub woodland sites, we've got those coming out of our ears. Massive open fields? Passchendaele wasn't fun the first time around. Woodland doesn't play to airsoft's strengths, it plays to its weaknesses - unrealistically short range and an inability to...

    Battle of the smgs? Help needed!

    AEG: ASG CZ Scorpion EVO3A1. Hands down the best AEG SMG on the market at the moment - much less expensive (at least in the UK) than the VFC MP7, which is the only real like-for-like competitor when you bear in mind the ASG's factory FCU with stop-on-empty, 3rd burst, and bolt lock/release. The...

    G&P M16a1 front guard removal

    You should expose (and be able to see) the end of the handguards. It might drop free, or you might need someone to help you.

    G&P M16a1 front guard removal

    M16 handguards come off the same way as regular ones - pull back the delta ring until the handguard pops out, then you can pull the handguard backwards out of the handguard cap (which is just behind the gas block). I don’t have experience with that specific G&P but I all-but guarantee they...

    How to remove the flash hider from a G&G AEG GR25 SPR

    The manual shows that the flash hider doesn't screw on to the end of the outer barrel extension - it's just slipped over and retained by a grub screw, which is why you can just spin it. You need to unscrew the thread protector (the knurled bit), which is a separate part to the flash hider, to...

    Recommend a decent Springer pistol

    If you're chiefly interested in plinking, have you considered an air pistol or BB gun? Unlike airsoft guns you won't have to buy one in garish colours, and they are orders of magnitude more accurate than our toys. Spring pistols are bluntly chiefly a children's toy these days, and AEPs are a...

    If you want a G19X, what's wrong with the VFC/Umarex, or the WE/WE with partial trades? I can't think of a single thing WinGun make I'd pay my own money for.

    Upgrades for ASG Scorpion Evo SMG

    I would be extremely cautious about cracking open a Scorpion EVO just because. I am basically incapable of leaving the guns I buy stock, and what I have to show for that is hideous expenditure and a great deal of frustration for often minimal gain. The only gun I have that's bone stock is my...

    I wear my bike jeans (Rokker Revolutions), which have concealed D3O pads in the knees and hips and are also waterproof. Highly recommended, if a bit pricey.

    Good high mount red dots?

    Vortex Crossfire red dot left, Aimpoint Micro H-1 right. The H-1 was released in 2007, the Crossfire red dot was released in 2018. They have the same lens diameter, the same dot size, the same control layout, the same overall dimensions and weight and use the same battery. If you want to...

    Good high mount red dots?

    You have basically two choices - £10-50 buys you any one of a number of unbranded Chinese clone optics, or £100-200 buys you one of a number of branded Chinese clone optics. The Vortex Crossfire red dot, Bushnell TRS-25 and various other Aimpoint H-1 rip-offs totally unique 1x20 micro red dot...

    Help finding sniper upgrades

    The parts are from the right people, but I agree with @Asomodai that it's premature to start spending money: you don't even know what's wrong with the gun (other than being very cheaply made) yet. I'd start by tearing the gun down and setting it up properly, because JG didn't have time to do...

    Either or M16s

    G&P by a country mile. Buying a basic TM AEG (with the possible exception of the M14s and High Cycles) these days is a mug's game: you can get the same thing made out of much better materials for similar or even less money elsewhere. GP-289 is the pre-A1 M16. You want GP-290: M16A1 with...

    Silverback SRS Thread

    Waiting on a regulator and other CO2 components, but hopefully I’ll start to have answers early next year. I’ll update the thread when I do. They’re not really intended to be a sniper’s scope, but I’ve found G&P’s ACOGs to have very superior glass compared to other...

    Silverback SRS Thread

    I have a PDI in my Fast Hop G-Spec with the FOW nub and drop-in R-hop patch. I’ve barely had a chance to try it but it does all fit together.

    TM Mk46 Mod.0

    Mach Sakai's video is worth a watch with the auto-translated subtitles on, (a) because of hilarious mistranslations and (b) because you get to see just how well-thought out the gun seems to be. I still wouldn't buy one, but it looks like a very nice piece of kit.

    TM HK416 Rail Upgrade

    Making a gun longer is much easier than making it shorter, because when you're lengthening the outer barrel there's no requirement to extend the inner barrel too, and because you can just screw a barrel extension onto the existing outer to make it the length you want, so there's no requirement...

    Gun picture thread

    IIRC for some reason the Hephaestus (really expensive) was based on the S&T (cheap and really nasty) Tavor bodyshell rather than the Ares (really nice), even though the two were functionally identical since S&T are basically the bargain-basement offshoot of Ares. I always thought it was...
