Yeah, it doesn't do anything, and I'm pretty sure is never did. It must either be a way to pull images off the sd card or for firmware updates. Reading that blog, it may mean that the IC is fubarred 😡. Feck knows what Teledyne will charge to fix that...Well they'll just replace the board if anything at all.

That looks like a Specna Arms SA-E23. If anyone knows i'm talking mad shit, please correct me, but the 'slots' you can see at the 3, 6 and 9 positions are m-lok. There's plenty of attachments that are m-lok. If you can't find m-lok attachments, there are m-lok to RIS rail sections that exist so you can attach just about anything. The top rail is standard 20mm RIS/RAS AFAIK which will accept just about most accessories.

Hey all, having trouble with my rig, can't figure out where these bloody straps go etc. How do you secure anything?

I built this for a buddy who no longer needs it, but I know ZERO about MK23’s, the market for them or bits for them. I know the pistols are easily the worst I’ve ever used, but a few special individuals love them lol So, does it have any market appeal, is it worth anything? cheers in advance

Yeah fair point. Not done anything to it since I brought it off a seller. I think it was thrown together with bits from the Airsoft fair

That was my thinking, nitrogren is actually a non-reactive gas it doesn't interact with anything, you can fill your car tyres up with it infact I'm sure racing car tyres are filled with it. Also as it's innert its safe to vent into the atmosphere unlike propane also in most cases it prevents oxidisation so should in theory be really good for the internals. Mainly I was making sure I wasn't being completely stupid in why we use compressed air apart from the fact its easier to produce with a compressor etc...

Had a cracking day at a CQB site where I ran a Glock with a few mags for most of the day. I'm a bit of a unit, so just running a pistol made me a bit more nimble than usual. Favourite kill of the day was headshotting an enemy at point bank range (he had a helmet) after sneaking round behind him. Had enough time to do a Clarence Bodica vs Alex Murphy "nananana nanananana nananananana BOOM" move too 😁. It's all down to how you play. Oh and I'm a tight arse, and see no point using anything more than 0.2s indoors. It's not like you need to punch through a hedge or adjust for cross winds.

How long's a piece of string? It depends on the site and how trigger-happy you are. Even a friend of mine didn't go through a while large can on Nuprol green gas in a day of playing with a pistol as his primary. Hop-up is meant to create a small arc to allow the BBs to travel farther before they drop. It depends on the gun you use whether a heavier BB is beneficial as the hop on your particular gun may not be able to lift heavier BBs more readily for a desired range. In what respect? Context and not being vague matter. If you mean your shotgun and pistol, it depends more on he who wields than anything. Does your CQB site permit BFGs? Playing with only a pistol doesn't make you a speed softer in itself. Being a speedy boi may not lend well depending on what objectives you have for the site you play at or its rules of engagement. Whether you should play with only a pistol is a decision only you can make with trial and error.

Not at our power limits. I tend to zero my scopes on the 75m target at my local site and I can hit the 85m target semi-consistently as long as there's no wind (can hit it with wind, but there's more luck involved at that point), but anything further is a mix of calculation and luck, as you have to arc the BBs and hope they don't stray off course for whatever reason. At the end of the day, we're firing air or gas powered muskets and they will never be "precision rifles". In terms of which is the best, that is down to personal preference. For example, a lot of people would disagree with me when I say that the Tanaka m700 platform is the best overall platform because it's gas powered and therefore not quite as consistent as spring or HPA (some people HPA tap the mags, but I prefer the VSR platform for HPA builds). If you spend a lot of time learning exactly how the Tanaka m700 platform works, and you have the patience to tweak it at the start of every game day, then the Tanaka m700 platform is the best since you can still get it more than consistent enough for airsoft, they shoot just as far, just as accurately, the bolt pull is effortless and they're incredibly silent. However, if you don't learn the ins and outs and tweak it every game day then they're awful. For user-friendliness, I'm very fond of the VSR platform, so anything VSR-based would be my recommendation. If you already have an SSG10, that's what I'd use. Get it running close to 2.3J on at least .45s, but preferably .48s, with a good hop setup and you'll be golden.

Not really listening to music as such, but as I'm trying to learn how to play my guitars (all 4 of 'em) I have a long list of Top Choons that I try to play along to. Everything and anything, quite lidddderally from ABBA to ZZ Top as long as I can use Chordu to get the simple chords so I can try to wrangle some rhythm guitarishness out of 'em. God bless him and his Canadian cotton socks, but Mr Bryan Adams has written some hits aren't really 'my taste' but that are damned fun to play along to, and not too tricky. Same for a bunch of other popsters. I'll give anything a go. Luckily though, I'm finally getting to the point where I can hit on the beloved Cardiacs, for some of the simpler (slower, less stoppy-starty) numbers... and this epic is the current fave for strumming along to https://chordu.com/chords-tabs-cardiacs-dirty-boy-id_d-dd4fMUhAY

It took a while to get me back to the bunker. It was a collection of little things that put me off, lots of shouting, pushing the game too hard, marshals stripping people of any kind of stealth tactics by walking up behind them and shouting "move, move, come on lets push forward", which is all well and good until you're wielding a single pistol and there are 8 opposition players around the corner with rifles and lovely little camping areas, waiting to pepper the life out of you. It started to seem as though there was an element of clique-ness and there were becoming rumours that certain people were managing to skip chrono, resulting in hot RIFs on the field, which isn't particularly fun in such a close quarters environment. I might add that I'd never experienced a hit from anything that felt like a hot gun, and the chrono issue may have been only rumours, but with everything building a gloomy picture of the place I decided to take time away from it. I had an experience where I had a few duff flash-bangs from their onsite shop, not a big issue. I had a quick chat with one of the staff, to let them know more than anything, he decided it was much more appropriate to call me out in front of everyone, telling me I had no idea how to strike a fuse and that there was nothing wrong with them, despite the fact that they were all damp from storage. It irritated me, because I'd always recommended them as a site to visit, we'd played regularly on an almost weekly basis at one point. The flash-bang incident was the icing on the cake. Going in last night the atmosphere was much different, it was calm, the marshals were respectable, visible and in the right places at the right time, the briefing was prompt and to-the-point and the game play was well managed. I felt like the night was for the players, like it once used to be, really enjoyed myself. Even if you only go once, it's worth a game for sure. As for Valiant, that one is on my list of "places to visit". I did the Vendetta site in Gloucester and absolutely loved it, a number of our team have done Valiant already and they loved that too!

It's been really great the way that AIrsoftWorld have handled this, and I hope they don't get hung out to dry by G&G. However, my primary concern is owners, who are out £400 for a paperweight that they've been told not to use until-and-if a fix is rolled out, while the clock is running on their right to reject. And a gen 1 (or 2 or 3 or 4) fix for gen 1 problems is often pushed out by marketing rather than engineering, so I'd be hesitant to trust anything rolled out in haste now. Frankly, I'd hope to see a recall of all guns sold, and (at minimum) a retailer fix applied. Because if they send out new grips to owners, and they still fail, then it might become a "Well, you must have fitted it wrong" wrangle. The longer you hang onto it, the harder it'll be to get your money back. tl;dr - if I'd bought one, it would be on the way back for a refund, no reasons given. Which suck for retailers, but it sucks more for owners.

Yep. Motorcycles, airguns, boilers(!), PCs, literally anything these days uses the Gen 1 buyers as the R&D department!

Hello all. I've been away from airsoft for a few years now but making a comeback! After going through all my gear, checking and cleaning up my guns (TM 416 Devgru AEG and TM PX4 blowback pistol), I realised my PX mags are toast. They are leaking through both valves and O-rings need replacing. After having a looksy online for O-rings and/or valve replacements, I came across TM valve taps for running an HPA system into the TM magazines. Started researching into this and from what I saw/read, it seems fairly straight forward. I've never run HPA before so I do have a few questions though... Is running HPA through TM pistol mags as straight forward as it seems? Fail safes: if my regulator fails and decides to dump all the air into the line, is there anything I can install to prevent my pistol exploding in my hand/holster? How many shots can I roughly get out of a 13ci tank, at site allowed pistol FPS rates? Is there anything I need to do to my TM pistol to prevent damage from running an HPA system? Do I literally only need a tank, a regulator and a hose for a full pistol system? What are the better brands and retailers to get HPA systems and parts from? Many thanks for any help offered!

quick question, I currently dont have any IPA atm, Can I just cut it up and just clean it without anything? just wanna do a temporary clean so it will remove anything heavy. Then I'll get IPA as its still on order.

Last night game of the season is over, games were slow because the area we played in had thick canopy coverage so it was nigh on impossible to see anything (well I could hehe).. So no Airsoft for me until September where we have a 27h game on the first weekend and the national finals on the last. In the meantime I'll try to source some NV..

Picked up an old G36C+ a classic 'Bag of Bits' from a friend for £40. The rif seems pretty solid, nicely trademarked, and is marked with UMAREX licencing details on the magwell. Shoots quite nicely actually at circa 1J. I've been researching who the OEM could be, as I'm quite tempted to give the gun the love it deserves, and a bit of searching indicates Umarex have used a plethora of OEMs over the years for their G36s, including Cyma, JG, Ares, S&T. Does anyone know who the OEM is of this particular version? The gearbox is black painted metal - which makes me think it i possibly JG? If so, I'd be rather pleased! And if so, anything that I should look to swap out/replace for performance and longevity?

The battery voltage won't do anything for the FPS. A higher voltage battery will increase the rate of fire. FPS is dependant on air seal and spring. From talking to guys at games it comes at around 330 fps and some people use an 11.1v to get the high rof but I'm not sure what voltage battery is recommended. Maybe run it on 9.6v NiMH to be safe. I'm sure someone will confirm if 11.1v lipo is good or not.

The "perfect" gun if you insist on just one is anything that an individual can use effectively indoors and outdoors scoring consistent hits. I use many of my same primaries outdoors and in CQB and get hits frequently because I play somewhat regularly and hone my skills. You should focus on being within the site limits. Chasing the limit risks to failing a chrono test. My M4 that could be likened to a PDW is "only" 0.9J when I've played at sites with a 1.13J limit (indoors and outdoors) but I've scored hits regularly in both environments and not felt at a significant disadvantage against other players bound to the same limit. As others have said, being within 1.0J should cover you at the vast majority of UK sites if you insist on never having to "open up (your) gun just to play indoors". A quick-change spring option offers a reasonable compromise where just need a screwdriver to eject the spring and its guide if you need to downgrade the former.
