Haha! They're not that bad! I suppose it depends on how real you want to make the Sim! We'll take a look at some other options as well rather than Clansman for the Battle Group net. TBH I'd prefer not to use Mil Radios as they're a pain in the a** and I can't really be bothered with hassle of applying for radio licences. We defo need two separate Radio Nets though. A section and Battle Group net. We've been approached by an investor if we need anything so purchasing good equipment shouldn't be an issue!

And there's another gun on that ever expanding list of guns to get in the fullness of time! The donor gun is the ASG M70 Varmint - does anyone know if there is an upgrade route for it? I've asked Daz @ASPUK, so if/when he comes back with anything I'll repost it here, but it would be good if anyone has direct experience or knows somebody who has.

Just a heads up about the airsoft show, I bought my ticket before I knew better so will see you there on the sunday, but I hear its full of idiots such as JustBBguns who are trying to impress the neighbouring shooting show, who are all in tweed and flatcaps, so take anything you hear from the stallholders with a pinch of salt.

Consider themed airsoft as well. Theres a big WW2 airsoft community out there http://www.ww2airsoft.org.uk/ that way you can repeat a scenario by adding the ww2 twist and appeal to a different market without having to come up with anything new

Nope, can't make the forum paste anything. Search ebay for "Bianchi 580 Speed Strips" Seller I used was "rrdav7", but there is another one (who I didn't find before) whose shipping seems a little cheaper. You need the 0.38/0.357 ones, not the 0.45s I'm really pleased with it. Works like a charm and takes up next to no space in admin pouch/pocket. The heroshark tube looks good though...

I used to think my obsession with motorbikes was expensive, I think I have spent just as much if not more on average per month on airsoft as it would cost to buy a new motorcycle on finance over a couple of years! Am now on a self imposed ban from buying anything except consumables or repairs/maintenance till at least the summer. I get so frustrated and bored this time of year as it is no fun getting the bikes out and trackdays are def out the question with this weather.... buying airsoft bits and bobs have been my comfort blanket. So from now until July if you see me post up I have purchased another AEG or similar please feel free to call me a twat!

Do you know where the leak is? Did you drop or knock the mag on something? My 1st time out with a gas pistol, I dropped a mag and it developed a leak along the seam at the bottom of the mag. I sealed it with a small amount of 2 part epoxy glue and it's now fine. If you haven't dropped it or done anything wrong, it's faulty so send it back and ask for a replacement. It shouldn't be possible to overfill the gas as it will only fill up to the point where the pressure in the mag is the same as in the can.

SND, you come out with some of the most bad ass loadouts I've ever seen mate. Great work! Would love to see what else you've come up with! Anything Recon/USMC related?

I think he meant Tank as in Septic Tank, rhyming slang for yank. As to him not having much of a clue, I'm inclined to agree, it also amused me greatly when he was in the 'best airsoft players' event thingy that was run by some chick who's internet famous because she plays airsoft, uses a computer and doesn't look like someone's taken a lump hammer to her face. She too by the way has no clue. American's will lap up pretty much anything so long as it's well edited, just look at fox news!

External wise ~ absolutely gorgeous. 10/10. the only flaw i can think of is the bolt makes the most horrible noise when released, but the same thing happens with all of the scar aeg's excluding the marui recoil's. Internals ~ i know 3 people with the same gun that have never had any problems with, they shoot and sound amazingly, sadly i have had never ending problems with mine after owning it for over a year, i guess i was unlucky and got a crap one out of the 999 good ones ._. My selector switch was as stiff as jimmy saviles dick in a nursery and cost me a small fortune just to fix that, i mostly play cqb so i am constantly playing on semi and for some reason my gun just completely locks up and i have to switch to full auto and back to get it to shoot again, and finally the trigger response is pants with anything below a 9.6v nimh battery or a 7.4v lipo. The gearbox and motor also make horrific noises when shooting lately, i think its telling me its upgrade time!

i will let you if i do tho are you looking for anything else?

$603 including shipping, I expect O P Tactical have marked the customs declaration correctly and put the full value on it. From now on anything pricey I order from the states will go via my cousin in North Carolina, they can then more creatively fill in a customs declaration on my behalf!

I love the fez! Holster I'm dubious about - it's a bloody awkward place to draw from over the top of a dropped slung AEG, which would still be moving as you bring your right hand across. I'm probably over-thinking it, but the only time I've absolutely had to rely on my pistol was with my SVD diagonally across my chest against 2 people carrying AEG's patrol fashion, muzzle down, in a situation where we were all mega surprised to find each other there. I drew my USP from a really low slung drop-leg (which put the grip exactly where my hand drops to naturally - I have gorilla stylee long arms) and shot them both before they could raise their muzzles sufficiently to get on target. Now you'll just have to trust me on this, I do have quick reflexes but I haven't practised quick draw skillz not that there's anything wrong with doing so it's just that, so far, any obsessive compulsive energy I've had spare has gone on practising mag changes for various guns from various rigs... Still, it'll do for just carrying your MK23 suppressor on. The only other practical solution would be a shoulder holster. I don't think that even an ASG Strike Systems MP9 Thigh Multi Holster would work, because the suppressor would stick out so far that it may interfere with squatting and would definitely get grounded into whatever muck was underfoot... unless you converted it to a waist belt set up.

Is it possible to swap out for an ICS aeg grip do you think? I think that's what WE based the receiver dimensions on- might be worth a try anyway. Assuming it's anything like the AR-15s I wouldn't worry about "because otherwise they'd be fucked so fast they wouldn't be worth owning" the internals last quite well although my mate's 416 has had quite a few issues with the ra-tech parts. The steel bolt doesn't function at all and the trigger group springs up problems every other week- If yours end ups having issues, have a look at getting a CWI trigger set, they're meant to be much smoother. However that is based on the AR-15s so may be completely transferable to the l85. Shame about the grip though, people complained about it when the gun was first released, you'd have thought they'd have done something to sort it out by now. How does it shoot so far though- hopefully something of a brighter note?

Are you insulting my Glock Sam? I never did anything to you...

Conversion charts dont work Ed. Energy wise: 1J on a 0.2g would be like 330fps, 1J on 0.3g would be 270fps. But joule creep actually means you get something like 285fps on a 0.3g which would mean 1.15J. Thats 0.15J increase without doing anything to your gun apart from changing BB weight. Technically however most sites state 350fps on 0.2g, not a joule limit therefore you havn't broken any of their rules. You would still be within legal limits too so not a huge thing to worry about. This is a thing with GBBRs as the bb doesnt stop accelerating until it leaves the barrel, thus gaining more speed. Lol You'd think they'd just put down their standard price to match, rather than waiting for people to ask. Thats a huge gap.

but ukara dosent effect jbbg, do they even sell anything not 2 tone?

Really? That's impressive. I was planning on using it for short range and AEGs for long. That's good news. Iain mentioned the bolt catch on the right side. Is there no way to fasten it in? Melting some solder on the back of it or something? Or would anything extra being on it block the bolt or something?

In a word, superawesomemagicfuntimehappiness . As much as I love my ICS, this thing, with it's lack of electronics and gears, is far easier for me to understand. I went for bog-standard internals (apart from the NPAS, and MilSpec fixing the pistol grip), my plan is to upgrade parts only when absolutely necessary. I've had to make some minor modifications to the bolt and guide-rods, as they kept getting caught on each other. 5 minutes with a round metal file, and it seems to work. The bolt release (square switch on left, above fire selector) is a bit fiddly, and can get warped with use. Hold-open catch (on right) is non-functional, and will break if touched (it's not actually held in place by anything) Entirely stock, it's giving me great range and accuracy, and a fairly consistent FPS of 300-350. Not the most reliable weapon in the current temperatures, but due to the accuracy & range, this is my out-doors weapon, while my ICS has been relegated to indoors/CQB only.

UKARA really can't do anything worthy of note, the most they could ever realistically do is remove JBBG as a member, but as Ian has said, JBBG are a big noise in UKARA because they make a lot of money, why would you kick out one of the richer members who when the shit hits the fan will be able to help with legal fees/lobbying etc?

Weird I've never had a problem with them but I heard all the stories of how bad they are and I would never trust them if I bought anything expensive, you're much better off purchasing from a proper reputable retailer. Now I've heard all these other things they've done I'm genuinely surprised they haven't been seriously investigated or shut down or something as they seem to be running things very unprofessionally and all the descriptions of things are either incomplete, the wrong one altogether or contain inaccurate / completely made up statistics. Not to mention that creepy bloke who does the reviews. Looks right like a paedo to be honest. Stood there with some £20 springer in one video and was like 'WOW. Oh...this has got to be...the best gun I've ever fired...I know I say it a lot that every gun is the best but this is genuinely brilliant" Stormhall's right though there are already about 20 threads on JBBG alone.

http://www.acetoolonline.com/Irwin-4031051-2-Pocket-Cotton-Nail-Apron-p/irw-4031051.htm I'm also looking for something like these for an airsoft related project, however as usual it seems they don't even exist in the UK and Wickes / B&Q / Screwfix don't stock anything like it. No idea why we don't have them over here, but would be great if anyone does know a place like a smaller chain of stores that will sell them or knows a supplier who can sell them. Thanks

Does the LAW fire anything and if so, what?

You dont look anything like the Master Chief
