The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Got the TM EBB AKS back from the tech yesterday after I put a 11.1v battery in it by mistake and fried it. While he was in there he did a couple of other small jobs to tidy it up as it had been playing up intermittently. New motor connectors, a bit of soldering / insulation and a fresh hop rubber and she’s back to shooting like a dream.
 

The charging handle doesn’t move when it cycles anymore as the hook that connects it to the blow back system has gone missing but that’s for another day. 
 

Also added a new pack to the load out as the new site I’ve been playing has a killer hill upto the safe zone and want to try and get everything up there in one go.

On Sunday I played a couple of games with my LCT G3 and a single 500(ish) rd hi cap mag. After 30 mins I started to regret the decision given its weight. A couple of guys had GBB G3’s with 8/10 20 round mags, the gun was a similar weight but the mags/gas etc was a huge weight penalty then one of the guys swapped and I got it.  As an airsoft gun GBB will always struggle but for realism they are stunning!! 
 

Now looking for a GBB AK or MP5………….

I run 5 45 round mags in my Apache (1 in gun, 4 on belt) and it's enough for medium length games and not that heavy. I offset the weight with a USP with 3 mags on the other side so doesn't feel like one side is heavier than the other.

100% recommend getting an MP5, not biased at all...

Added bonus, the trigger mech is compatible with the WE G3, so you can actually get a G3 GBBR with 3rd burst.

 
MP5 is my weapon of choice for AEG, I have 2x Cyma Platinums so a GBB version is defiantly on my list. How painful are they for upkeep? Lots of posts saying GBB is a pain but if it’s just a strip down and grease after use, which I already do with my GBB pistol it doesn’t sound terrible.

That is interesting information, you have now ruined my day and I must look for a G3 ?

Not very painful at all, can have the gun stripped, checked, greased and back together in 20 mins. 

Bada bing has a couple of really good videos on the Apache, well worth watching ?

I’ve just purchased a box of EG67’s.

And then a box of FBS Mk5 ball grenades. 
 

I was curious as to the difference between them. So I went all in to find out! 

 
The latest pair for my rusfor kit, just waiting for the Arrow Dynamics RPG7 to arrive from the forum sales thread to use with tag rounds in the future (then probably have to find a new wife when she sees it!) 

Just need to find a standard handguard for the AK47 underfolder and fit a plastic pistol grip when it arrives as the wooden grip is horrible to look at and hold so they match a little more
