    Converting from mini-Tamiya to Deans...

    Hi ho!    Well it's been a while but I'm expecting to go to a skirmish or CQB session for :checks notes: the second time this year, I think. And to celebrate this I went a bit bonkers and bought another gnu.  Yay!    I couldn't resist a nice little Cyma AK74SU that the previous owner...

    Best place to buy batteries?

    Hi all,  I'm in the rather scary position of having lost a couple of my Lipo batteries.  I think I've checked all my gnus to make sure they're not plugged in, but damned if i can find 'em.   Anyway, upshot is that i need a couple of 7.4v and maybe a little 11.1v too, around 1400-1600 mah...

    Ear protection and face masks

    Wednesday evening was a thoroughly enjoyable event at Special Ops' "The Fireplace" CQB environment. Plenty of amusing gameplay, all worthy of a write-up by someone who reports such things better than me... but I'm here to ask about protection. I was taking refuge in a tight corridor when...

    Noob question about buying a line (get higher baby) (no! Not that sort of line!)

    I need to connect my Airtac adapter for my VFC HK416 GBBR to my air bottle... which now has a Balystyk 800 regulator mounted on it  So I need to buy a line.  I'd rather spend as little as possible, but will invest in something that gives me a clear advantage in performance or usability over...

    Guitars

    Well if we can have a Watches thread (which I like), then let's have one for geeeeeeeetars too, as they can lovely things to behold and meddle with. I am a pleased-as-punch recent purchaser of this:    PRS SE CE 24 in Blood Orange   If only I could play it as well as it deserves!   ...

    Putting a regulator on my bottle

    So I've been running with a small bottle for my Tippmann, with no regulator as it does all the clever stuff stepping down the pressure within it's own system. Now I've got an airtac adapter for my vfc, I've got to fit the regulator I bought a while ago.   I could just connect the bottle and...

    JG SA58/LK58 30000 FAL carbine owner's thread

    As mentioned in the 'What Have You Just Bought' thread, I've picked up one of these bad boys for a bit of a song from Action Hobbies' boneyard. Had to stick a barrel extension on it for a more SLR feel, and an old red-dot 1.5X sight cos it suits the aesthetic, and bingo, it's close to the...

    New Double Eagle UTR DRP9 ... tidy little SMG with new feature

    ... so it looks like a UTR with a choice of stocks, two mag options, and that new feature is a 'stop on empty' function.   Which I like the idea of, assuming it doesn't make the mags too expensive! Now, Double Eagle, where's that commission check you promised, eh???

    Double Eagle N4 video - improved gas efficiency

    I asked in the comments if this is a change to the mags or the RIF, seeing as most complaints center on the mag design

    Muc-off Urban Dry Oil lubricant - usable?

    I found this in my garage, bought for my electric bike but lost, and now found...  Seems like it'd be usable in my VFC GBBR, but amirite, or amirite (wrong)???

    Hand Grenade etiquette

    So if my rather knackered knee settles down in time, I'm hoping to be playing outdoors at Spec Ops on Sunday.  Yay!   Hopefully I'll get to run my Tippmann HPA in anger for the first ever, and also it'll be my first chance to throw my recently won multi-shot grenade around.  (Assuming the...

    OMFG Grenade - which .209 primers?

    Having won a rather nice OhShiBoom OMFG multi-shot grenade, I need to get some primers for it.... I can see commonly it's Fiocchi 615 or 616 primers available, and I can see 615's are more sensitive. I was probably going to buy a 3-pack to save a bit on the p&p, but I don't want to end up...

    Need a spade connector.... what size, and where from?

    One of the female spade connectors to connect from the gun to the motor has broken in my Classic Army M15... I went off to Halfords and bought the smallest one they had, but it's still mahoosive compared to the diddy litle thing on the other wire.   I'd say it's about 2.5 or 3mm across by...

    GHK v3 AKM - QC issues

    Oh dear.  Looks nice to an AK noob like me, but sadly it seems the QC is so poor (and yet GHK defend it) that's it's not the best choice.

    Tokyo Marui AK47-S spare parts supplier?

    I've swapped all my working guns into the loft for their Xmas holidays, and bought down a couple of not working / needs work toys to meddle with instead. One of them is my first ever airsoft gat, a Ye Olden Times TM AK47-S It's taken a bit of a battering over the years, but a set of Cyma...

    Action Hobbies Boneyard - possible buyer's remorse ;)

    Well, well, well.   The dam broke and I impulse-purchased a gun for the first time in a while.   The annoying thing is I probably bought the wrong gun :( Ok, rewind to last night.  Big boneyard sale on at Action Hobbies, I spotted two gats I've had a long-term hankering for - A Cyma Galil...

    Novritsch SSR63 (SL8 / G36 DMR) - video review

    This popped up on my feed. As someone who often likes the idea of owning a DMR but is aware I'd probably fail to tech one for myself, this looks rather appealing!   Also, I have a bit of thing for thumb-hole stocks, ever since the BSA Buccaneer was a thing (and the L96 too).

    Any Black Friday deals worth bothering with?

    I've had a few emails from BBGuns, Defcon, Socom Tactical etc about Black Friday. So far I've not seen anything that's tickled my fancy (or my credit card) but 'never say never (again)' - I could do with a batch of Bio BBs (0.28/0.32 and some sniper ammo), and I'm always interested in bargains...
