    magazine compatibility?

    I am struggling to source L85 midcaps (AEG) but I have been advised that M4 mags will fit. Can anyone confirm or dispute this?

    ICS L85A2

    I am considering an ICS L85A2 but a fault has been discovered by the current owner. It only fires upside down and since I have no plans on visiting Australia, this is a problem. Any ideas or experience of this?

    leg holsters

    i havent worn any other kind so i dont know the extent of the problem with regards to variety but does anyone else find it annoying when you are moving around and the holster flaps around with the weight of the pistol in it? it really put me off carrying a side arm last time but hopefully i...

    DMR. why???

    IIRC site rules for fps are: sniper 500 fps (side arm is compulsory) DMR 400 fps all others 350 fps as I understand a DMR, it has to be locked to semi auto which rules it out as a support weapon what is the purpose of this designation? Sacrificing full auto for an extra 50 fps seems daft...

    ROF?

    is there a way of finding out or is it the old failsafe way of emptying a mag filled with a counted number of rounds while your mate times it? obviously this relates to full auto only. I am curious about my AEG and AEP. I reckon the AEP is quicker. The only foreseeable issue is the fact that...

    lens protector too visible

    I am deeply unhappy about how visible my scope lens cover is. I cant see anything through it so it has to be flipped up to use it. I was thinking of tail light lens spray to rectify the problem but I am open to suggestion

    G3 mag

    i have a magazine that keeps failing to feed bbs. the techie guys say there is nothing wrong with it but they are wrong and i cant find anything obvious. all i have noticed is a noise every now and again when winding the wheel which sounds like it is winding itself back a bit. having seen the...

    CO2 pistols

    simple question: can a CO2 pistol use gas instead of capsules? obviously this would require different mags but I think I am going to like my latest purchase. 70p per capsule is going to restrict its use though so is there an alternative?

    testing the water - milsim

    I know there are milsim days but I am not keen on the current practice from what I have so far picked up on them. It sounds like a normal game day minus the safezone which doesn't sound very realistic. I was talking about upscaling that on facebook last night. 24 to 30 hours in the field which...

    CO2 capsules

    how do you carry them in game? i dont know how susceptible they are to bb hits so i am not sure about belts or arm bands designed for them but i dont want them loose in a pocket either

    oil bb feeder after loading?

    the instruction manual with the CO2 pistol says i should load the mag with a speed loader (not from the top) then spray a little oil on the first bb. i have never heard of this before although i suppose it would lubricate whatever the bb passes into follow this or ignore it?

    L85A1 manufacturer?

    airsoftworld recommended avoiding G&G due to gearbox issues and told me to get the ICS version landwarrior recommend against the ICS which way should i go?

    speed loader or manual loading?

    I watched 2 reviews on my newly purchased CYMA desert eagle. The first said don't use a speed loader the second recommended it. Which way do I go? Manual loading would be a pain mid game but I don't want to damage my mags also, are there variants of this gun or are CM121 mags the ones I want to...

    reactions to airsoft

    I do laugh at the people who know nothing about this sport. They ask me what I have been up to and the answer 'buying guns' is usually met with surprise. Then they ask what I shoot and the obvious answer is 'people' because I love the reaction. 'oh...erm...right....ok'! Fair is fair, they are...

    AEPs

    i cant seem to find much in this category and navigating some retailers sites is not as simple as i would like. on my phone i have an option to see the details of every weapon but that is not obvious on my laptop. unfortunately it is harder to find the correct category on my phone so i have to...

    headgear

    the cap isn't really working out too well and a mate has given me a DPM beanie hat (I think? It has a soft brim all the way round) but I am considering a beret. Any views on this?

    upgrades?

    I am buying a RIF with a couple of mags, scope, better battery, gun bag and upgraded spring. One thing I do want is a sliencer but I haven't seen this particular rifle before. How universal are upgrades? Its a TM G3 SG1

    hoodies?

    i had an idea for better protection above the neck since i currently use a hat, goggles and half mask. This leaves a lot of exposed skin and isn't very tactical. I can buy a woodland camo hoodie which would cover everything that the goggles and mask leaves exposed and it wouldn't look out of...

    buying RIF without UKARA number

    i am going window shopping tomorrow but as an impulsive buyer, i might find something interesting to use on Sunday. I do not have my UKARA number yet so what can i do? I don't have contact details for the site i use (website wont work on my phone) and it is not the retailer who is putting me on...

    L86 faster than L85?

    i have been looking at AEGs, namely the L85A1 and the L86 is only £20 more but is it worth it? its longer but has a bipod but is the rate of fire going to be higher? i am guessing the FPS will be about the same but unless it fires more rounds per minute then i dont see the point in buying one...
