Zak Da Mack Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 First of all, welcome to airsoft and the forums Have a look at the G&G combat machine range. http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/index.php?cPath=268_318_403_494 Cheap, effective and very low maintenance. Just what an airsoft newb needs The site I linked offers free two-tone and a free voucher to certain airsoft sites across the UK. A battery and charger is needed though, but both of these can be bought on the site and still come up to roughly £140. Happy shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbeard Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Thanks for the reply, I just have a question about the combat machine. What caliber bbs does it shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted July 14, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 14, 2013 6mm, pretty much every common gun is 6mm. Use. 25g one for the best results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbeard Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Which battery and charger would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike636 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 A 8.4V 1600 Mah NiMh should last you a full day on a trickle charge, at the moment I'm unsure what if any, mods you would need to run LiPo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Thank you, so it's an 8.4v 1600mah NiMh with a trickle charger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike636 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yeah that should be sufficient ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 19, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 19, 2013 You can get a trickle charger that cuts off automatically once the battery is charged from Component Shop. Either this one 8.4V only, or this one 7.2 / 8.4 / 9.6V For batteries you can't go wrong with VP Vapex: the red ones from this page - depending on which gun you get you'll need a particular shape of battery pack. Zak may be right though, because once you consider P&P it might work out better to buy them from wherever you buy your AEG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iTTz n00b Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 mini type connector and get a 9.6v battery for a higher rate of fire,8.4v in the cm16 carbine is a disappointing 600 rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaza66 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yes you will want a mini Tamiya connector, just wondering if you'll need a large- small adapter like I did =/ Should come with the gun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbeard Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I have another question... Would this fit onto the hand guard? http://www.wolfarmouries.co.uk/airsoft/bb/product.asp?page=product&id=AA203BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 20, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 20, 2013 I don't think you can put a rail on the CM handguard, b/c it's designed to split into 2 halves to fit the battery. I think you should stick with an 8.4V battery. There's nothing wrong with 600rpm, but I think you'll get more like 700 anyway. Yeah, a 9.6V will give you a higher ROF, but it will also wear out your gearbox faster, and may cause a failure, such as shredding your piston teeth, knackering your tappet plate spring, or chewing up your piston head O-ring. It's also possible that the gun will not feed BB's smoothly at a higher ROF without modifying the sector gear with a tappet plate delayer. I realise that all this may sound like gobbledegook and, frankly, until such time as it doesn't, you're best sticking to manufacturers' recommendations. Still, if you must, here is a VP 9.6V. And yeah, the CM will come with a Mini Tamiya connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I think it may fit on the handguard, because there's holes on the bottom. Can you reccomend a good 8.4v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 20, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 20, 2013 You may be right. If it's important for you to know before you buy, make a thread to ask if anyone knows in the general discussion section. I already linked to an 8.4V VP above.
