I'm hoping someone might be able to help, I've had a keyword search through the forums but can't seem to find anything relating to the current problem I have with my MWS. I'll insert a full magazine into the rifle and pull the charging handle back to get it ready to fire. I'll fire one shot and then the bolt gets stuck halfway through cycling and won't fire any more. The gas doesn't vent out of the magazine when this happens either. I don't think it's the loading nozzle as the first shot ALWAYS leaves the rifle as it should. This happens with all of my magazines. The gun is stock and I'm using 144a gas.

Remember that airsoft batteries are much smaller (fewer cells) than in the videos above. While they can spit fire or pop it wouldn't be as violent as seen in those videos. I think charging a 7.4v battery in an old cooking pot (without lid) would contain any fire as long as there isn't anything flammable too close. 11.1v Li-Po's would need a slightly bigger container but not much. This also shows how important it is to get a GOOD intelligent charger that would stop charging when the battery is full or if there is a problem.

Cheap brands and optics will have laughable parallax and performance issues, especially the eotechs and other fancy scope types. If you shell out a bit for a vortex crossfire red dot, you'll never need anything else. I have this and a sparc ar and they are both top notch. That being said, I recently went for a vector optics maverick gen 2 which was about £60 on sale at opticswarehouse and my god this thing is quite amazing as well. The parallax effect is pretty much unnoticable when shifting my head, and I've used it for several games days, even on my sniper rifle for fun, and it has held up very well. Would recommend that specific sight, can't vouch for the others.

Yes. They use OEMs to manufacture the items, then the companies get them branded for their own products independently. Neither make anything themselves specifically. Hence, they're in the same manufacturing location, because they're the same product from the same OEM. And this means that warhead *is* a rebrand regardless of any juxtapositioning. Easiest example of this in recent times is Nuprol. They don't make anything themselves either.

You can't go wrong with either TM (only if it's P90+, don't spend money on bone stock P90's because trigger is ass on all of them...) or Krytac. I own an Alpine (which is pretty much identical to a regular Kry P90 minus the side rails, colour, and low profile rail kit) and one of the best P90 I ever handled to be honest. Adjustable trigger is insanely good. 50/200 rounds magazine is a nice touch as well. Doesn't shoot on empty. It's just on another level. They don't need anything to be upgraded. Marui runs forever as long as you leave it stock. Yes, Krytac has many proprietary parts I think that's the only downside to choose over Marui. Never had Novri P90 but their customer service has a horrible reputation just bear that in mind before you jump into one.

If you mean a road-legal 250W electrically assisted pedal cycle, I would thoroughly recommend them. I use mine for a 12 mile (each way) commute with an 800 foot climb, recharging during the day so that I can use full power both ways. It means that I arrive without being soaked with sweat, and turns the climbs from a nightmare into a breeze. I ride a Halfrauds special Carrera Subway, bought on the Ride to Work scheme as a salary sacrifice, which brought the cost to my pocket down significantly. Not the lightest, but disk brakes, bolt points for luggage racks, mudguards and sidestand, the same power as any other EAPC, and reasonable battery life - I've done 40 miles on minimum power, but that was with some pushing on beyond 16mph where the motor actually cuts out. You'll quickly find a riding style that suits you, either using the motor just for hill climbs, or putting in the minimum pedal effort to keep it at the cut-off limit. I'm at about 2500 miles and ~125 charge cycles, and am starting to see some slight range loss, so I'm doubtful that it will make it to the claimed 500 cycles. Temperature also plays a part - like all battery tech, they don't enjoy the cold. The front wheel is quick-detach on the Carrera, and I do occasionally sling it in the back of my car, but if you want folding and portable, the MiRiDER gets a lot of love from its owners. One thing, there's a consultation ongoing about increasing the maximum power to 500W (constant) and allowing twist-and-go without type approval, so you may want to hang on and see how that works out. Anything more... pokey... than 250W sustained / 400W peak is technically a motorcycle like any other, with all the licensing/registration/VED/MOT/insurance/helmet laws that go with that. However, there's observably very little policing of pedal cycles, or electric transport in general. Most DeliverEats drivers ride Allegro emotorcycles with 500W motors and twist-and-go throttles, which are essentially what the proposed new limits would cover. However, that would move us out of alignment with the EU limits for EAPCs, so it might end up getting shelved.

Looking at it online it looks like it should take regular hi capa nozzles. It's not got any fancy RMR cuts or anything and I believe Army is the OEM making them.

I put the mag in, pull the bolt back and the magazine empties into the gap left by the bolt. There's nothing I can see to stop the bbs from just shooting out into the empty cavity, and I can't find anything online that says I'm missing any parts. I'm stumped, and I want to use this tomorrow at combat airsoft.

As I said, it's either back to school syndrome or post-purchase regret. This is honestly one of the best (or worst for the seller) examples why you should always consider rental for starting out and never spend big on anything you have to two-tone.

Other dodgy connections? bulb? Can't be anything else unless the batteries are in the wrong way round?
