Looking for a comms setup for me and the boy. I have zero interest or time to get a HAM license and I’m reasonably confident that the PMR power limit will be enough for the majority of sites we play at. That said, there are still a bewildering number of options. Main wants: * simple to use *...

The short version is I want carry capacity for 4-6 M4 mags, a grenade, radio, speedloader and odds and sods with the facility to carry a HPA tank on my back. Plate carriers naturally fit this bill, but I dislike the idea of their bulk and heat retention, plus if I’m honest I find them a bit...

Not much to preface this thread with, is the genuine CTR noticeably better than the clones?  Are there any particularly decent clones to go for?    It’s going on an MWS tube and minimal stock wobble is preferred without having to faff with shims. 

I've only ever used bio BBs, never had any issues, no noticeable fouling in any of my guns. However, I frequently hear (usually in GBBR discussions) of people only using non-bios in their guns for reasons ranging from accuracy to gun cleaning. Is this just recycled clap-trap from the days when...

Most retailers are pretty reliable at getting a box delivered these days, but after some pretty shaky after sales support on a recent order where the wrong item was shipped, I'm on the hunt for somewhere new to shop. Any recommendations for stores that actually have well organised and prompt...

This is really a bit of a self-indulgent moan about the internet not being the way I like it anymore, I expect the appeal of this thread (or otherwise) will largely hinge on your age, but anyway... I'm in a few airsoft related Discord groups, namely because they contain info I can't get...

Been thinking about airsoft joule limits in other countries and wondering who has the ‘optimal’ limit to balance effective range against injury.     I would personally happily take a higher UK limit, although tempered by the fact I still want my kids to be able to take part and I wouldn’t want...

Jaeger Precision has his new (TRMR clone) Impact grenade up for pre-order.    I’ve been considering a reusable grenade for a while so this comes at a good moment to part me with more cash.    Seems to be an updated and approved clone of the TRMR.    Any reason not to get one? Price doesn’t...

My woeful knock off UH-1 does not sit level on the rail of any of the three guns I’ve fitted it too.   Mini review: £52 from AliExpress, don’t bother, it’s shit. As you can see, it’s canted over once the QR is clamped shut.  Not amount of adjusting the QR or shifting it around on the rail...

Any help welcome and appreciated on this one.   Just completed (well, assembled) a new HPA build using an Inferno Gen2 on my boneyard Specna M4.    I’m getting inconsistent output shot to shot.    On semi, each shot is very weak with an audibly weak output (think mouse fart), often failing...

Been tinkering with my recent boneyard Specna One series M4 (still unsure of the exact model, but the externals are very nice, think it's an E&C OEM). It came with the old style metal 3-gear hop unit.  When I tried to fit my preferred ZCI rotary plastic hop, it sits a tiny bit further back...

I recently picked up a cheap chrono from AliExpress so have been doing some testing to see how my Double Eagle fairs in terms of consistency, but I'm wondering what the benchmark is?  I've done several runs of between 10 and 20 shots and nearly all are between 1-3FPS of one another, but then...

So as 2023’s airsofting is over I thought I’d embark on the masochistic ritual of tallying up the year’s expenditure.  We only started in May this year, but it’s quickly ascended to being a primary hobby with an outlay to match. I’ll preface this by pointing out this is for two as I’m...

The boy is generally happy with his G36 (very much so on the ergo and looks front), but inevitably has had his head turned by the snappy trigger response, high rate of fire and less agricultural sound signature of more modern AEGs.  I'm loosely thinking a motor upgrade and shimming the gears...

I'm in the happy position to have a decent budget for my first primary AEG, but equally I'm a miser so don't see the point in spending money needlessly.  For arguments sake lets assume I've got £350 for an AEG, but it's not really a hard and fast figure. I've currently got a DE M906C in my...
