i was debating fitting a real bullet belt, but im worried that its extra weight may cause further issues with the box mag gas connector popping out, or break the "wiggler" do you have pics of this mod? i may need to do the same to mine, but i am also reluctant to do anything too invasive where abouts are you playing?

Royal Mail won’t accept anything on Google street view, if it’s not on there systems it doesn’t exist? I believe the information Wavey_Gravey gave me is spot on with the address, but this guy James Parker is just being a dick saying it’s not.

Does anyone have experience with, or know anything about, the BO Dynamics P90? It's King Arms OEM and they upgraded it with a MOSFET but IDK what they used exactly. Can't seem to find much of anything on the internet about this and their own website doesn't have it listed, I assume it's because they're that old. I can only assume it's a simple MOSFET to protect the trigger contacts and let you use 11.1v safely rather than having any special functionality. All i've found about the King Arms P90s is that they're probably the best of the P90s before you get to Krytac and G&G.

Despite Brexit, we still have an agreement with the EU where we don't charge each other customs duties for items produced or manufactured in the UK or EU. But by and large that doesn't apply to airsoft toys and tat. VAT is still chargeable, from anywhere in the world, and the old £16 minimum limit is long since gone. Now, anything up to £135 should have 20% UK VAT added at source. The seller has to register with HMRC and pay over the VAT to them[*], then the item ought to come through without further VAT or duties. Over £135, anything imported becomes liable for customs duties (from the list of ten kajillion types of goods), VAT, and then all the charges that get added on for working out and paying those charges. I can see that getting complicated and risky, e.g. you've got an order containing a mix of items that attract different rates of duty, or if HMRC disagrees with the categorisation or value. [*] I imagine there are ways to arrange things so that VAT and duties end up just resting in your account for longer than might be strictly necessary, or where the basket price that you're charging doesn't always match the value declared to HMRC.

As far as I know it’s just a rebranded Classic Army. So it’ll probably be reasonably reliable but don’t expect anything special. I used to have one and it was perfect for CQB, useable in woodland games but you’ll be outranged by anything other than a stock AEG. Fairly well compatible with upgrade parts etc.

It’s really not that bad. As long as you wear a long shirt or something similar that’s not too tight you’ll hardly feel it. If you’re like me though and roll with shorts and a t-shirt, pain is just part of the game. 😉 I’ve never seen it myself. In my area we usually don’t have to worry about people being extreme full auto trolls. Honestly, I’m the only one who even has that capability, and I shoot semi-only with anything over 28.

Another weekend, another game day at Worthing Airsoft and it was a bit of good and a bit of bad, all things considered. We turned up and I had not one, not two, but three m14s with me! All of them were different in almost every way. My TM m14 is full length and HPA, my Cyma m14 was a socom with an EBR outer barrel (so I can run a suppressor and still have a front iron sight) and the G&P was a relic in the DMR stock. Anyway, I knew I needed to test them all and at least one would work, surely... Surely, right? Well, fortunately the first one I took up did. The TM m14 was set to 80psi, passed chrono at 1.11 - 1.13J, but it's still doing the weird jamming thing, but not as much and not as bad. It is still a bit weird when I take the mag out and clear it, but it doesn't jam itself open to the point where I need an unjamming rod to fix it, and when the mag is in and it runs out of BBs it's generally fine. Was hopping the .32s out to a lovely distance, so that was good. Then I took the two AEG m14s up to get them through chrono as well, then I could decide which one to use. I picked up the Cyma, put the hop on and... the power took an absolute nosedive from 0.9J to 0.2J. I picked up the G&P m14, put the hop on and... same thing. Dropped from 1J to 0.3J. Fortunately, one of the local techs that I trust was around, so I spoke to him and have now given him both to have a look at. It's probably just tired o-rings or something, since the G&P is a relic and still has stock internals, and the Cyma was only available from a European warehouse so it's likely been sitting around for a while. I don't do AEG gearboxes though, so off they went to the tech. Now I need to buy another rifle bag, as that only left me with my smaller rifle bag (still fits the m14s in, but I can only bring 1 gun at the moment and no way am I turning up without a backup). First issue I noticed was at the brief. There were a lot of regulars and they almost all went on the yellow team, so me and my friend made a point to go on blue. A few regulars also went on blue, but it wasn't a very even split. Sure, we had some experienced players on our team, but not site regulars, so while they know how to play, there were a lot who didn't know where anything was. We also lost the rental lottery, with yellow getting the hard-pushing aggressive rentals and we got the passive hide behind barricades out of the fight rentals Anyway, I had the HPA m14 mostly behaving, so I took that out along with my new £60 ghillie cape that I put together. It worked an absolute treat! First game we had 3 flip cans in the Tower / village area, one in the tower itself, one in front of the church structure and one in front of the stables. However, they started with 5 on each team already in a building, but here was the issue. Other team put 5 regulars in, our team had 5 rentals in and they got annihilated as soon as game was on, giving the other team a very firm foothold in the village. Moreover, we were on the rubbish side, so pushing in was an absolute pain. I managed to crawl up and take a position that I like and it happened to have an angle on the stable building where a bunch of the regulars were and I completely shut them down... Until I got shot in the back by someone on my team while I was clearly firing at the enemy. Ugh! Anyway, I went back to respawn and came back, but this time I pushed up even further, taking another spot that had vision on the back of the stables, but also had line of sight down a long path and to a few other barricades and caused some havoc from there, shutting down the back of the stables again, but also screwing with their reinforcements coming in. Game eventually ended and we lost 2 cans to 1. I have yet to see a team win from that side! Anyway, we swapped ends and it was largely uneventful for me. I managed to push to a position to cover the church can (which was enemy controlled and no way I was going to get up there to flip it) as well as the stables flip can which was controlled by us. Just sat there, plinked a few people trying to push for the stables can and the game ended with 2 cans to 1 in our favour this time. I have yet to see a team, even with the teams not amazingly balanced, win from the other side! Next game was the sands of pain. The box was set up in the open on a table and both teams had to get to it and press down their coloured button. I was going to take a position to cover it, but basically our entire team went in that direction and me being a sneakybeaky ghillie boi today, I didn't want any of that, so I took a flank with my friend. We pushed down into a thick part of the site and my friend heard two of the regulars on the other team. He took one out, then ran out of ammo on his pp2k and got taken out by the other. I took a wide angle and... got a bit annoyed. The player he hit walked off without calling dead man, so me thinking he was either cheating or being mediced, I shot him in the back and got taken out by the same guy who took my friend out. He then told me to "watch my full auto"... on a gun that is locked to semi-auto and can't spam the trigger because the Hydra engine doesn't seem to like it and throws a tantrum at me if I do. That sweetened the sourness of the encounter a little as I always enjoy a bit of salt, especially since I knew who it was (and his gun is incredibly spammy and has a very fast full auto that he runs .36s through). Anyway, I went back to respawn and the guy who hit me got taken out when he tried to make a play, but I had a devious plan. We would go all the way around the bottom of the site and come up behind the enemy team, making sure not to spawn-camp, but shooting them in the back after they pushed down a path a bit further from their base. Unfortunately the game wasn't long enough and we couldn't get to our intended positions as the flank was long and for the last part we had to move slowly and carefully to avoid being seen. No idea what the time on the clocks were, but we swapped it around and again I intended to cover the box but everyone went that way so I went the other way. It worked out phenomenally as I pushed around to the side and lay down by a tree as I saw the bushes in the Clearing moving, so I knew someone was coming that way (ironically named now. It used to be clear, now it's a woodland killhouse). Turns out a ghillie on the other team was pushing through, but I didn't have a great shot on him. I knew he would push out because nobody on our team was watching, but he stayed for a bit. Eventually he pushed out and I got him with the mk23 and I found out at lunch time that he was literally having a piss when I saw his head moving about when he wasn't pushing out, which I found mildly hilarious 😂. Fortunately, didn't see anything indecent! Anyway, after I took him out, I heard more voices from that way, so after telling some young'uns on my team who had pushed up to where I was, I crawled through a ditch to get under a holly bush and I got spotted by another regular. Fortunately there was a tiny defilade, so I managed to get low enough and crawl behind this tiny tree to the point where they couldn't hit me. I waited for a bit, then I saw my team making a big push just in front of me, so I took the opportunity to slowly raise up and shoot between the V shape in the bottom of the tree to hit the guy who was still there (the regular who had spotted me had moved on). With that taken care of, I managed to crawl a bit further and get properly under the holly bush with a line of sight down the path. I hit so many people playing around that path, including getting a few shots underneath the holly bush on the other side of the path and hitting peoples ankles. There were a good 7 or 8 people looking for me, but none of them could find me and I kept taking them out with the silent HPA m14, which had no MED, and mk23 pistol. Ah, it's moments like this that make sniping so much fun! I decided to call it at lunch time. Don't want to push it with my heart issues still around and decided to do some testing with the HPA m14 on the range. First I tested it at 1.88J, putting it to 120psi and getting a nice 1.84 - 1.87J with every shot. I also upped the weight to .4s and set the hop and... it was sooooooooooooo good. I was aiming at the head of the 75m target and hitting just below it on where the torso would be (it's a man-sized target), and as it wasn't very windy today I was hitting that almost every shot. I was genuinely impressed; I didn't expect it to perform that well! I then put it to 1.64J (Worthing Airsoft's DMR power limit), getting 1.61 - 1.63J at about 105psi and... the difference was noticeable. I could hit the 75m target, but I was struggling a lot more. Aiming at the head of the target I was generally hitting the bottom of the tree, hearing the distinctive sound of impacting on wood compared to impacting on the metal of the target. Managed to get a few on target, but had to aim above it and arc them down. Considering on 1.1J I was hitting the 60m target with pretty much every shot, taking a 30m MED for 1.64J just isn't worth it at all. 1.88J is a different story, so that HPA m14 is going to be a Driver Wood gun as they use 1.88J as their DMR limit, but 1.64J was just lacklustre. I was super impressed with the 1.88J performance though, and the weird jamming on empty issue, while it was still present, was less of an issue with the higher psi. I think next game day I'll bring the m40a5 with the SR-25 as a backup. With autumn well and truly here, the leaves are starting to fall and sight lines are opening up slowly. Yes, I think the staff are actively trying to dissuade snipers with how they're building up the site (one of the site owners was on one today about ghillie snipers), but heading into winter my m40a5 is going to start coming into its own.

If anything, they are loose, so inserting and removing them a few times isn't going to help. Thanks anyway.

Well the court doesn't just do anything they want, they follow the guideline, and an overpowered RIF would still be a Type 3 weapon despite the technical definitions under Firearms Act, so really going overpowered does not really mean much by itself, but the reason of it being overpowered would be (e.g. if you modified it because of intention to cause property damage vs if it is a technical fault of your chrono)

The problem with that is that the nature of an overpowered full auto capable airsoft gun is not clearly defined in any legislation. All we know is that it becomes a lethal barrelled weapon and, hence, a firearm. Anything else is up to the CPS and whichever, if any, court some poor sod ends up in.

That is where it gets messy as the law is rarely either clear or explicit; however, anything over the stated limits is a "lethal barrelled weapon" and, hence, by definition a 'firearm". One interpretation would be that a full auto airsoft toy shooting over 1.3J is indeed a prohibited Section 5 firearm, with all the legal ramifications of that. However, that will probably only be properly defined when someone gets arrested for possessing such a weapon and the case goes to court, probably followed by an appeal. Let's hope that never happens.

That's what I mean, the recoil of anything that's firing proper ammo will be way more than the recoil we will get from gas blowback, so I'm just surprised the gas blowback effect would be moderated in this gun. I guess it's tricky with the recoil generated by the slide or bolt alone without a heavy projectile being discharged.

Its very difficult for the Police to do anything other than an armed response to a report of guns in a public place. You can't say oh its just kids and and have a bobby trundle up. One day that will back fire. Mum doesn't want to see what actually happened, just complain about whatever she has heard has happened. In London there are cameras everywhere and on the Police officers, should be straightforward enough.

The MOLLE bandolier “It may not be the tactical gear you want. But it’s tactical gear you deserve.” The molle bandolier is a complete air soft rig. Nothing else needed. Each pocket can hold two M16 mags, a radio or smoke grenade. Job done. Each pocket has a top flap secured by a press stud. These are not fully closed so thin items like mk5’s can fall out. The shoulder strap adjusts but is sewn in. The press studs are used to install the bandolier in the claymore pouch on molle patrol and assault packs. There are two loops at the bottom edge so you can add a waist belt of bungie and have a compact hip/chest rig. The USMC are speshul and have a uniqueewee version. This has pals on the back to add crayon storage options. As it’s a grid you can add anything using MALICE clips. You could even sandwich two back to back as a grab bag. Yes, the USMC does have one piece of kit that’s better than the Army’s version. 😍😍😍

Wouldn't you want more recoil rather than less. I know I would if I was getting anything gas blowback.

I find it strange that none of these news has the actual picture of the actual water pistol in question, so we will never know how exactly brightly coloured it is "blue and white and one was pink and white" does not really say anything I mean for example these water pistol from amazon has a blue and white option, and a pink and white option, and they are arguably rather realistic looking https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electric-Pistol-One-Button-Sprayer-Blaster/dp/B0BWND47S7 Edit: I would go on to say the blue one qualify as RIF because the blue one is not a "bright blue", and white is not an "unrealistic colour" under VCRA Edit: I mean look at the product video on that page, it is a rather dark dull blue colour, it not exactly unrealistic

Not quite, but close. 😉 FPS limits are field-specific, but for general usage most fields are something like: minimum MED: 20 foot. 1.5J for Assault class: 20 foot MED, 2.25J for DMR class: 50 foot MED. 3J for sniper: 100 foot MED. And full auto rules differ. I don't use anything hot or fast on FA, as I prefer not to waste BBs and let my trigger response and reflexes do the job for me. Good idea!
