Updated for August! Unsure of what direction to take next...

The element Dbal one? It’s okay, but the button on the rear is a little weak. Pressure pad works fine though

 
I do prefer the look of a PEQ, butttttt.. This will fit my pistol quite well too, already have a holster which will fit a light. I can get this and if I like torches enough I will get a PEQ for the rifle and keep this on the pistol.

Need to work out what I am going to spend the rest of my money on now. With the Ape sale I have about 600 to play with. Still tempted by the gas Tavor... I can afford about 4 extra mags at 40 rounds capacity each... Hmm!

That gas tavor is kwa, right? Or the hyphestus one?

 
I have a (justified) hatred for KWA’s hop up chamber. Fine for cqb, but I wouldn’t bother personally. Couldn’t lift a dick in a strip club, never mind a good, heavyweight BB..

I think it depends what version of the hop unit they use. Not sure what that will be yet. 

Maybe I should just get a Real Sword Type 97 and be done with it. Heavy though! 

 
Put it this way, I’ve had a kwa usp tactical, 2 usp match’s, a vector and a pts mega arms 308. They all have that shit rotary hop up that does naff all.

Is it the one that needs the key tool to actually adjust?

Yeah. Literally every gas  kwa since the dawn of time has had that horrendous hop. I can only assume the tavor will too

Food for thought... Will have to see!

Just picked up a pair of Edge Tactical SBR160's glasses for dead cheap at Pro Airsoft. Along with some Bolles. Sorted for Eyepro now! 

EDIT: Just picked up the flashlight as recommended above.

Sorry to disappoint you... And on my head be it! 

It just came up for pre-order for the first time and I couldn't stop myself. I am so sorry :(

So I guess my future has been decided. No DMR for some time!

Get a review up and tell us what you think of it at some point. It may be great, I’ve just been put off by the brand.

I just got as giddy as a school girl when it came up...

Update - coming into about 1200 cash in the next two months. The Tavor has arrived could do with a few more mags and I am going to be a trialist for a new bunch of feed lips for KWA mags that will eliminate the common feed issues. 

So apart from mags. What next? I am still shottyless. I have upgraded my one and only pistol and I am a bit dissapointed in the grouping of shots for it. The DMR is still pending me buying upgrade parts for the SL8. Still no sniper rifle. I am also still pining after a Real Sword Type 97...also thinking of real steel FAMAS scope rail.

Hello gents.

Quick background, I am a Bullpup/full auto whore, I have two TM FAMAS, TM Aug HC, Cyma F2000. I also have some normal styled rifles, namely a JG SL8, ICS Ape, SRC XM8 and an ICS CXP 15 M4. I have one side arm which is the TM Strike Warrior. 

My buddy and I are in the middle of a tour of the SE sites, this means quite a bit of long range and not much CQB. 

Everything apart from the JG SL8, Strike Warrior and Aug have been upgraded with decent barrels and internals. 

I just sold an S&T Tavor pro. This was because I was to purchase the not-quite-released Tavor GBBr. Unfortunately yesterday I found out that the mags only hold 40 whereas I was under the impression it was 60. To carry 600 rounds I would need to buy 15 mags at 55 a pop. As someone who trigger spams this is not exactly great news.

So I need to make a decision to either spend what money I have (about 450/550 and I can add another 200+ every month to that) on the Tavor money sink and grab mags as I can afford them. Or look for something else.

I have some glaring holes in the collection:

No DMR - I have a JG SL8 which would be perfect to convert to a DMR, it's a G36 base. I can upgrade it to top spec with the money. I would probably enjoy a DMR role with my battlebuddy. But I don't get the satisfaction of a shiny shiny new RIF.

No Shotty - I have occasionally pined over both the TM Spas with folding stock and TM KSG (Because why not!). Its something that has appealed to me, but there are not a lot of CQB sites in the south east.

Pistols - I could sink some money into the strike warrior, I already bought the larger gas capacity MEU mags that Tm have just released and I have a Laylax tightbore ready to go in. So I would just need the Maple leaf hop unit and It would probably shoot lasers. It would only cost me an additional 50 quid to do this. 

However I have been having alot more fun with pistols recently so maybe I should get another? 

Sniper - I have always been put off by getting a sniper rifle because I feel like I wouldn't have much fun, but as someone who has only been playing for a year its probably because of all the "don't play snipe of you're a newb" statements. 

I do love the look of the SRS silverback and I could probably stretch to it... I just don't think I could do it justice. 

High end bullpup AEG - All my bullpups are cheap or mid range which have been upgraded. Maybe I should just shoot for the best and get the Real Sword Type 97?

Face Pro and tactical gear - I have mostly been playing with cheap Nuprol mesh and Revision Ant goggles. Mesh being my preference despite the dangers. Maybe i should consider a pair of Herosharks? I did try out some cheap Bolle glasses recently and really enjoyed it. But then lost them. I run in a French FAMAS loadout which I am happy with. 

Either way I am very undecided of what to go for next. Upgrade the rest of my collection, buy something new, go Gas rifle, go long range, go shotty, maybe mix a couple of the cheaper options above... 

What do you guys think I should do? The mags of the Tavor have thrown a curveball and I am wavering from getting it. I just need some advice on the most prudent and fun course of action.
