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?

Evening all, long time no see 🖐️ - hope you're all well! So, I'm only noticing now the price jump between .32 to .36 gram BBs, as I've never actually used above .3 myself. Anyone know exactly why that is? Off the cuff, I can think of three possibilities: - Less sale and production volume of .36 + sold. So, to justify production they need to sell more (there is probably an economics term for that lol) - At that weight they need to start incorporating a heavier core to the BB that adds more weight than the standard plastic / ABS can create? So a more complex production? (I think I'm just plain wrong here, never heard of anything like this) - The final reason I could think of was that at .36 grams the industry considers you to be moving from common AEG weights into single shot sniper rifle territory, therefore less ammo is consumed, and a higher price is justified. The most stark and easy to see example of this is with Geoffs, where there is very gradual incremental price rise from .2>.25>.28>.3>.32 and then a massive leap from .32>.36. We are talking £14.29 & £17.99 for 3k .32 Standard and Precision respectively, and then a whopping £38.79 & £52.29 for .36 - not a jab at outdoortactical below, as the pricing seems to be pretty universal across the 4 shops I checked who had Geoffs and the trend does also seem to apply to other brands too. https://www.outdoorandtactical.co.uk/?post_type=product&orderby=popularity&s=geoffs+BBs

Hello @Sewdhull. I have done and it all looks fine to me. Do you think anything else is causing the problem? Thanks

I thought it might be useful to have a phone mount on my plate carrier so that I can use the Ares Alpha app to see my location, that of the objectives etc. So I got myself a cheap mount from AliExpress that protects the phone and holds it securely in place (in landscape mode) on my chest. I can then simply open it up slightly, see my location on the map and close it again. And then I started testing it: To unlock my iPhone you swipe up from the bottom, however the mount has a strap over the phone to hold it in place and you can’t do it without sliding the phone out. ❌ Face ID on the iPhone only works if it can see your face but I’ll be wearing a mask. ❌ Ok I enable ‘unlock with Apple Watch’ but the phone will not do it when in landscape mode, only portrait mode ❌ So I enter a passcode but I would have to take off my gloves to do that ❌ When the phone is unlocked I can’t actually see anything as it is too close to my face and I would need to wear my reading glasses to see anything detailed. ❌ But apart from that it really works nicely😂

Thank you for this. Can you just clarify which tabs? Do you mean the clips on the bottom that are hinged in on the bottom edge? Just don’t want to break anything in the process 😂😂

For target shooting at home you don’t need any of the VCRA defences - a brightly coloured IF will shoot as well as if it were a RIF. Bright IFs can be anything from a cheap BB shooter to a bells & whistles airsoft gun with a paint job

Thanks for the feedback. I do like shiny things plus the main point was to shoot some targets at home, I do understand a pistol is only necessary in some CQB games so for anything bigger I will get a feel for it once i try some. Just had a chat with Bunker 51 (i'm in London), the only bookings open to individuals are for 3 hour games but they can add me to another booking for shorter games too! So will do that soon.
