20 quid onwards, however you will need pouches, have no idea about them : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOLLE-PADDED-BATTLE-BELT-WEBBING-POUCH-MULTICAM-MTP-ARMY-CADETS-/121407988221?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item1c447ae1fd

IDK much about battle belts, will have a look around for pouches, but don't know any yet so can't tell you how much it will cost all together. How many mags are you getting?

Heroshark might do that (would have to ask him) but that wouldn't be cheap. £35 + £35 + whatever he will charge, (I imagine 20 quid or more, could be wrong though) is pretty much enough for a dye 4. tell me how much you are willing to spend and I will have a look around for you

The thing about buying 'pre-upgraded' guns is, are they the upgrades you would choose? Admittedly I've been out of the loop for a while, but a couple of months ago G&G MOSFET's still had a major question mark hanging over them, as in they were burning out. IIRC they couldn't handle LiPo's over 20C. Now for sure an average 11.1V 20C LiPo is better than even a VP Racing 1600mAh 9.6V NiMh, but a Turnigy Nano Tech LiPo isn't significantly more expensive than an average LiPo and delivers far more power faster... and cooks G&G MOSFET's...

And that's just the most obvious issue. You need to decide if what you get for the extra you are paying is worth it compared to what you could fit to a wombat machine for the same money. But don't forget to factor in the value of hassle... both in learning to gun tech vs sending a gun to someone else and down time due to unforeseen fuck ups.

Sounds like you should also read this.

I heard that about g&g mosfets this is why I have decided to get the gen 2

 

[team flex]

I do have a crappy chinese one, but I don't use it for skirmishing. I use mesh goggles and a half face mask, but I am going to upgrade to ESS advance V12 I reckon. Not sure as I have never seen them but maybe this would work with your boogie regulators

I have no real clue on battle belts so you should probably ask someone else

 

[BrightCandle]

No don't do that. Even if the G&G mosfet does burn out (its a quality control issue, some of them are fine and others really aren't) then you can just replace the mosfet if it does burn out with a better one. The Gen 3 however will already be wired for the mosfet, have the thicker and higher quality wire and won't double fire with a high voltage lipo. The gen 3 despite its mosfet issues is still a better option than a gen 2.

 

[team flex]

I think they have it under control now, even if it does burn out you will have it under warranty. Just a point though, it is £50+ quid more expensive, if you are good with a soldering iron you could do all the upgrades for much cheaper

to be truthful i carnt afford the gen 3

If you like the look but are gonna get it 2-toned or stuff

then consider a CM18 MOD1 then - black/brown or brown/black then ???

those would not go nicely with two tone, and anyway everything that has changed in colour bar the mag will be painted green, useless

 

[Sitting Duck]

well think about this: and this is one I have btw:

http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=9133

CM18 - they paint all brown stuff green

eg: on mine they could paint brown ris covers, crane stock, pistol grip and mag if they like

now remove ris covers, you not gonna really use or worry about mag as it is 120rnd so hi-cap

replace painted crane with stubby fixed so no messing with nunchuck/stick batteries

pistol grip - well you can replace if you wish but you won't see that much green on it anyway

pure speculation that they 2-tone this way but could email them about it

different looking gun - easy to change when UKARA'd without painting

drop down dust cover to adjust hop-up and the sights - hmmm not sure they might paint them

and you could strip back - but nice gun for £150ish - bit different to Raider/Carbine

but then up to buyer what they get in the end.

Mine is going on her first outing tommorow but don't care what others might think about it

I like it and bought it elsewhere cheaper than zero one

if owner likes it then forget what others may think is what I always say

they wouldn't, can give you my guarantee they would paint the rail. Otherwise it wouldn't be 51% which could get them a hefty fine and into trouble. Its better just to get the carbine. £120. you have 30 quid to spend, they paint the front end, replace for 10 quid, stock (stubbies aren't adjustable, and nunchucks aren't really that hard to use at all really, just means they don't fall around as much imo) cost £15, plus say tenner for the sight (they don't paint pistol grip, they paint rear sight for carbine at least) and you have spent £165, manufactured an RIF, broken the law and have a black gun...

 

[Sitting Duck]

not gonna bother getting into a row about this

but could find lots of guns with 2 tone ris covers but black black ris

my src is one example - remove ris covers = black front end

orange pistol grip and crane stock etc...

truth is we will never know unless somebody allready bought a CM18 in 2-tone

unless you ask and to be fair not all places will paint same stuff it is down to their

peception and decision in the end but I did say enquire/ring/txt/message/email etc.....

 

[GingerBreadMan]

I got a cm18 two toned albeit not from zero one but from Swindon airsoft. The gun was painted blue on the ris and the stock only.

 

[Sitting Duck]

wot - whole ris or ris covers ???

bummer to strip off - ahem dodgy ground painting but if I was paying for 2 tone

I want to know exactly what is sprayed or I will go to somebody else where I might

be told/discuss what gets painted etc.....

eg: ooh sir that is only 49.5% orange/green/blue - yeah well paint the friggin flash hider

you leave the receivers alone, paint the sights as well if ya want

well I don't know about that sir

you having a laugh what you charging me £10, £15, £20 to blow over just a bit of plastic

- ok no worries I will maybe go elsewhere or buy another gun from somwhere else instead

well it is a lot of messing about....

well move over m8 I'll bloomin' remove them if you can't, you plonk on table, spish spish

n refit when dry - not advance nasa rocket science is it ???

all down to if they really want money/business really - yes easier all round to get UKARA

but then the retailer has to decide if they want to go extra mile for customer service

or allow somebody else to gain that sale - and perhaps repeat business from new player

no biggie but like I said different places will paint different areas to get near 51%

some peoples 51% is different to others but even if whole ris is sprayed you could

just remove and ahem customise it - buyers risk btw

the real question is, how do you make your posts so damn funny!

 

[Sitting Duck]

the real question is, how do you make your posts so damn funny!

Don't take life too seriously, yes at work I gotta do my job properly but we can still have a laugh

unless we are under it so to speak - then we have to do what it takes but mostly we still can't cut corners

I take work serious - really do my best there coz I'm being paid to be be so good like all of us there

BUT I am an old fart, had my fair share of $hit hitting the fan n stuff - lost loved ones and heard some

even wose $hit happening to other friends - that kind of puts it all into context when things ain't always going

your way or how you would like it to. Myself included often forget how fortunate we are but moan anyway.....

Don't be afraid to have a dig at yourself from time to time - you alone are your best critic and know that you

have your own faults & imperfections - I don't need a shrink to analyze me back to my childhood - very very

longtime ago, and blame my upbringing/parents/family enviroment wasn't loved as a child n crap

I know I got problems (apart from babbling way too much), I got problems ffs - that is why they are called:

MY PROBLEMS so I just get on with it like we all have to do in the end....

Humour or me always going off-topic - well often you may as well try to have a laugh whilst we ride through

the world - getting stressed just don't work, but there is a balance like I explained and a time to mess about

If you wanna pi$$ your boss/teachers off a lot after they just had a go at you - SMILE - jeez that really pi$$es

them off - but be careful you don't get slapped in process.

Hopefully we remember the moments that make us laugh a bit more than ones that make us cry

Sorry for derailing thread - once again, but too many people take life way way way too seriously

yup I am a grumpy bastid too at times, but I come on forums to chill, and maybe learn/share some stuff

I don't come on here to have goes at people or have to defend myself - can't be ar$ed with rowing and

online ego crap - but I do bite back if caught on wrong day like us all I suppose

soz once again - fanx to all members on here who put up with me & my lame ar$e stupid ways

if I annoy anyone - soz but pm me & I reduce the crap I post

peace

yeah I would know about that

Picking between Combat Machines and Toptech's is now wholly dependent on aesthetics alone, all CM's as of january this year ship with Top Tech Gearboxes anyway, so that aspect is a moot point.
