    MP5 Photo thread

    I've just become a member of the MP5 Owner's Club, so here's my rather dull pic of my gat. It's purchased from the Classified's at a sensible price for a Secutor (which is probably an Ares under the skin, but I've seen that different manufacturers do different models, so this might actually be...

    Best aeg out of the box

    I got an email today, Novritsch have updated their M4 with some small improvements... https://eu.novritsch.com/product/ssr4-automatic-electric-gun-aeg/ Note that the lighter (cheaper) polymer is only 100g lighter than the metal variant.  Only the difference in the bank balance after purchase...

    At what cost?

    I have managed to be very frugal over the years, but I think the amount of time I've actually spent playing means it works out as tremendously expensive. I've got much better value for money from my two £400-500 guitars than I have with any of my boneyard specials. However, I get a certain...

    Interesting you should say that about the Well gun, as this one was linked in a promo email I got a couple of days ago...  https://www.socomtactical.net/well-we09k-ak-12-aeg-assault-rifle/ And I have to say it looks rather good!  If the internals are up to snuff, it's maybe a decent option...

    Best aeg out of the box

    The Specna Prime's look very interesting... A decent base gun with a brushless motor and a higher-end control unit.  I've  loved my Double Eagle M906C but given i had an overheating issue when spamming semi auto, to the point the Falcon fire control failed, then I'm slightly more reticent about...

    G36c Keymod

    I had this in my (standard style handguard) G&G G36C, and a variety of my other guns too. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-1200mah-2s-15-30c-lipo-airsoft-pack-t-connector.html It's very compact, fits in other RIFs which don't have much space, and it's been reliable.  And...

    Thanks for getting the 'sight' to 'site' in the title because it's triggering me

    Agreed.  Now please change 'sight' to 'site' in the title because it's triggering me ?

    Noob question about buying a line (get higher baby) (no! Not that sort of line!)

    The 13mm external diameter looks the very thing - cheers for that diagram - it also shows the correct orientation of my hexagonal 'lump with prong'  ?

    Noob question about buying a line (get higher baby) (no! Not that sort of line!)

    You're a bit confused?  I'm as confuzzled as feck   :D Maybe the bigger o-ring is at the interface of the pressure gauge to the bottle?  I've seen mention of 'top bonnet' in some diagrams for other bottles, perhaps that's the specific one I need. But info seems surprisingly thin on the...

    Noob question about buying a line (get higher baby) (no! Not that sort of line!)

    Bah humbug.   The o-rings arrived but are the wrong size for my Dye LT bottle, they're ~13mm internal diameter, and the diameter of the recess is 11mm. The original o-rings internal diameter was somewhere in the 9-11mm range, difficult to tell without the missing bit. Having had a quick...

    Noob question about buying a line (get higher baby) (no! Not that sort of line!)

    Well I _was_ going to say thank you for that eBay link, which I've clicked through and bought from, until I saw all the other offers for the same rings, at half the price, popping up at the end of the transaction ?

    Noob question about buying a line (get higher baby) (no! Not that sort of line!)

    These are the ones HPA UK are selling... The knackered o ring from my tank looks a tiny little more orange-y, but perhaps that's just because it's old https://highpressureairsoft.co.uk/products/tank-o-ring But I'm refusing to pay £7 when it can be sent in an envelope ?

    Noob question about buying a line (get higher baby) (no! Not that sort of line!)

    I bought the line from HPA UK, and it's fine - but when I tried to fill up my Dye LT bottle, the darned thing leaked. Turns out I mangled the o-ring (or it was old and just split) when I swapped over to the Balystyk regulator. So I need a new o-ring.   HPA UK seem to have a standard £7 p&p...

    Noob question about buying a line (get higher baby) (no! Not that sort of line!)

    The fitting on the right is the tail coming off the magazine adapter... I presume I'll be aiming for about 80psi into the gat, so a 200psi line would be fine. I have a proper chunky metal line coming off my own scuba tank, so don't need another whip line...  I think! Watching YT vidz (which of...

    Noob question about buying a line (get higher baby) (no! Not that sort of line!)

    I need to connect my Airtac adapter for my VFC HK416 GBBR to my air bottle... which now has a Balystyk 800 regulator mounted on it  So I need to buy a line.  I'd rather spend as little as possible, but will invest in something that gives me a clear advantage in performance or usability over...

    Boonie v base ball cap

    My boonie hat with a drawstring chin strap thing always seems to get caught on twigs and undergrowth more often, so my 'sprint' (oh I wish) from spawn at game start ends up getting curtailed rather abruptly ? I'm probably just wearing it wrong, but yeah I stick to my camo baseball cap, which...

    Where did your forum name originate?

    Where did your forum name originate?

    Being one of them 'earlier adopter' types, I was early in on interwebz back when being 'Roscoe' was enough to stand out on a chat list.    When all the 'Johnny-come-latelies' started filling things up, I changed to Atomic Rooster as my online nom de guerre.   Turns out I'd subliminally picked...

    GBB Pistol as my first Airsoft gun

    Is that the flaw where you must always load a magazine into the pistol with the slide locked back, to prevent the nozzle getting bumped and damaged?  If that's the only thing wrong with it, I might still get one (some day)

    GBB Pistol as my first Airsoft gun

    That KJW KP09 is a handsome beastie, that'll go some way to scratching some of my Browning Hi-Power itch some day :)
