I do not wish to know anything about your pink helmet!

Not had much luck with this, I've heard that backup with Star/Ares is lamentable in the past and this seems to be the case. Firesupport said to try Action Hobbies, Wolf Armouries or failing that Hong Kong! Neither of the Uk retailers mentioned nor Redwolf have the gearbox shell in stock and I can only assume from their reply that Firesupport don't hold any hope of restocking them. I have just contacted Ares direct via their website so will see if anything comes of that . . . . .

Pump action Saiga...Anything for looks I guess

look at some videos filmed with them and decide. just because its 1080p does not mean its any good. I know side by side compromising with gopro hd2 to veho 1080p, the veho had slight better picture, an a ton better sound. it cost less and came with tons of accessories (built in screen, mounts, straps, remote control etc). Thou to be fair, I find mine fairly awkward to mount Last thing I heard, when gopro 3 was released, was that the white and silver is good competitors, but that black beats much anything else on the market. but I guess the others would have upped their game by now. oh and I have a cheap Chinese thing aswell.. it's pretty worthless.

Pretty much any g&g will be a good choice out of the box, they tend not to need anything doing to them to be worth using.

well with vfcs reputation for aegs, that makes this fairly exciting! I just hate the though of buying anything umarex or cybergun thou -.-'

So impressed was I by the video that I got one of my own. I do have a problem, mine does not sound anything like this, its more pew pew than clickty click! How do I fix my hand gun ?!

Doesn't look anything like a 6094 It's a cheap Chinese vest by the looks of the stitching on the molle

Could you provide any links to guides or anything, I am quite interested.

Now, before anything else, please don't just hate on me because of my gun, it isn't the best but I get kills with it at woodland skirmishes so just factual help please. So I own a, um, Double Eagle M85 G36C and It has served me well, but I feel it needs a power boost. I kept reading about how it isn't built to be upgraded, but I have opened it to replace the spring as I plan on a new gun soon anyway so why not? It is an m90 but it doesn't fit... It is so much longer I can't see it ever going in and thee diameter is too big to fit in the cylinder (I think that is what it is called anyway). I had not read about difference in the aeg springs so why is it so wrong. The seller never mentioned diameter or length and I thought the springs would be fairly universal. What springs will fit? Thanks. Oh and it was a pain to open so would rather have increased fps so if I can't get a new spring any other options?

I didn't mean to diss or anything. However, pictures only show what it looks like. You can't judge until you actually hold one. I'm 13, weak and a pretty small year 8. My stock is not that bad. If you don't like it, ICS sell many different styles. Stubby Stock version (same with a smaller stock), folding stock (like a g36c stock but a different style) and a standard m4 (Just your average m4.) I've held an SRC Dragon and they're very light and they're cheap. The reason they're £70 - £80 is because the externals aren't metal. Everything is plastic, even the buffer tube. However, SRC do make very good things like their g36 range. I almost bought one.

Hello, I am very new to Airsoft and love it so far have had 3 games with rental guns so went out and got my own, It was working fine shot a few rounds but when I was putting the battery back on I had the breach open (G&D DTW) and now anytime I connect it ether when the breach is open or close its goes crazy and the gear just keeps spinning anytime I connect it, I cant shoot or anything! If you have any idea on what it could be or help me or I could take anywhere please message me I am very keen to get a game with it! Thank you and hope to see some of you on the fields!

Haven't looked it up myself but IIRC you only pay tax if 20% is over £9. Import duty is 5% but you don't have to worry about that unless you're ordering something expensive over £190 or so, say a gun for example. If you have to pay either import duty or tax I believe the shipping company / company (Parcelforce for example) charge you as well. Around £9-13. So yeah for inexpensive stuff like that you probably don't need to pay just watch out and remember there are other charges if you buy anything more costly! For example a KWA RM4 is only $380 from ehobby Asia but once you factor in shipping and other charges it's £330 or more, so the same price as buying it domestically anyway. On the other hand I could order a box of MAG MP5 magazines for £31 shipped or pay £60 including postage for the same thing from Airsoft Supply Drop. Hope this helped.

I don't think it'll be anything to worry about. When companies like WE's can take steel bolts then I doubt something from TM will struggle too much, even their aluminium ones are known to have a number of issues. TM are one of, if not the best when it comes to reliability and unlike many airsoft companies, they tend not to sell stuff that will break easily, their stuff tends to be made so that it's not taken apart often or so that the user doesn't have to constantly replace parts so long as it's used as intended.

It's called a jezail, my father was gifted one out in Saudi, more of a decorative sniper than anything else, and the metal work tended to be of a very low quality. Ruddy murderous in the right hands though.

If your friend is skirmishing he has a defence. You don't need anything like a 'UKARA' to own a RIF, you don't need any kind of permit to respray one if you are skirmishing. If he has sprayed it black he doesn't need to respray it to any other colour. There is a some bad info being passed around in this thread. A site shouldn't be asking you any questions about where or how you got your RIF. It's nothing to do with them. If he has a defence he can spray his two tone any colour he wants. .

Just recently bought myself an SR36 series rifle when I bought the rifle it said the FPS was 300/330 but when I was at a skirmish two weeks ago it was firing at 3:50 is there anything I can do to slow it down I am very new to Airsoft so would appreciate any advice thanks

Maybe I should be a little clearer; I'm the one in need of help and advice. If you clicked here hoping I could help YOU, I apologise. Now, on to my problem... I'm looking for my first tac vest, my rifle is a Tokyo Marui G36c. After looking around, I decided I didn't want to go the webbing route due to lack of knowledge, waaaay too many options and of course, price. So I found a couple of all-in-one vests but really took a liking to the ones with a cross draw holster. I ordered, a day later there it is. Chuffed to bits but alas, the main magazine pouches can only take an M4/M16 size mag. The G36 size mag simply wouldn't go in. So that vest went back. After hunting around some more, I cannot for the life of me find anything that states it is able to take this size of mag AND has a cross draw. The closest so far has been from flecktarn.co.uk. It's a web tex cross draw in black. I was just wondering if anyone has actually encountered this problem themselves or if they know of something that fits my wants and needs? Your help is greatly appreciated. ( in advance)

At my local site I am certain they would be asked how they got it. Some guys on their first game out got questioned about their Combat machines just this week gone. Turned out the marshall's hadn't spotted they were actually transparent so all was well but they do question that sort of thing. I think it would be a good idea to tell your friends they have committed a criminal act that has a fines and potentially hefty jail time sentences associated with it. Taking these to skirmishes would not be a good idea. If the friends aren't likely to do anything as a responsible individual you need to explain the VCRA to the parents so something can be done.

You WILL need a LiPo specific charger anything else is likely/guaranteed to write off either the battery or the battery, patch of carpet underneath and any nearby objects.

Pretty sure 99% of sites have that rule, never been to one where you weren't required to remove mags before leaving the game area and entering the SZ. I very much agree with keeping fingers outside trigger guards at all times you're not shooting at someone deliberately during a skirmish, there's just too many potential factors at work. Apart from anything else it's literally the easiest thing to do just about ever, possibly a close third after breathing/absorbing light through the eyes in this thing we know as vision. No matter how good a site's rules are you can never prevent some f****** morons putting loaded mags in AEGs and thinking "oh I'll just have a quick test fire in the safe zone.. it'll be fine". I've seen it, I've f*cked up myself in my own house (which I'm very ashamed of but when the ricochet goes real close it teaches you a lesson for sure) and I've met very few players who haven't seen someone do something like ping off a shot in the safe zone. I always bring at least 3 sets of eye pro to every game anyway, largely just because they're permanently stored in the bags I take. The plan in future is to wear my preferred set of eye/face pro for the playing then a quick switch to some nice, dry shooting specs once off the field. Military and airsoft folks alike are all largely shocking when it comes to safe weapons handling, I've seen it from every service, rank and every type or skirmisher without exception at some point or another. Most brits (mainly softers) hate the 4 rules that the yanks like to use, but having tried them extensively they're what I employ at all times with RIFs and guns. I personally find they give far more confidence and safety than the military and airsoft attitudes of "it's unloaded"; however I'm not the king of airsoft by a long old stretch and I do not expect the vast majority to agree in the slightest. It'd just be nice if people would respond amicably on the very odd occasion I ask someone to not point a barrel straight at my face, rather than getting pissed off and instantly massively defensive over a simple, politely worded request.

haha no i am over 18, a 24 year old student, so i have very limited funds, rental guns will be good for me dont wanna rush into getting anything just yet. So would you recommend buying some extra bb's? im sure they'll have some on site but bare in mind i have no experience with airsoft or airsoft guns so loading will be confusing at first. Haha i sound useless! Thanks for your tips so far! i've got some cheap surplus camo, boots and face protection getting delivered later this week so hopefully i'll be all set and wont stand out too much as a newbie haha! Any in field tips? other than dont walk out in the open, and always call my shots (i can understand that getting extremely frustrating if not done)

Its becoming a fashion that when cropzy posts anything the thread gets very weird or very stupid... Are you the new frizzle? *Love you frizzle*

I can personally vouch for the guys at Matlock Combat Games they are a belting bunch of guys. If the woodland site is anything to go by the Gaol will be amazing, but as it's still a new site things will improve as they put a lot of thought into their days. If anyone is near by to this place I strongly suggest you jump on board, it's just a shame I'm a bit too far away as I'd be all over it
