The 'Quick Questions' thread.

[SimonQuigley]

so here you can ask all the smaller questions that may not need a thread

[Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies]

I need booties yo.

 

Need to sit high on the ankle

 

Need to be light for a stealth and running about like a nutter playstyle.

 

Don't necessarily need to be leather

 

Good quality

 

Preferably not chinese made.

 

Budget is 45£ max.

 

I've seen a lot on websites but don't know anything from the quality,I remember some para style boots being posted here for a good price but I've forgotten which country and the website.

[AirsoftTed]

What size are you UTJ ? I'll see what I can find.

[Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies]

I'm size 41 in EU. I think that's 9 in UK?

 

I'm digging to find those para boots I've seen,trying to find that post where I found them..

[Richard65]

Should leave you with enough for postage and stay in budget!

 

EDIT:

 

My bad, they say EU 43.. you can't be a 9 then mate lol!

[TacMaster]

I don't know why the world can't run off a standard scale for clothes, footwear etc

[Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies]

German para boots,perfect! I remember seeing them a long time ago,hopefully they are still made in Germany,thanks.

[AirsoftTed]

If you're after something like the German paraboots you can get Issued British Assault boots for really cheap. £20 in grade 1 condition, I'm sure they can be found cheaper on ebay aswell. I've got a pair and they're tough AF.

I've just got a pair of German Para boots, they are very comfortable.

Serpa for WE G18C??, apparently wider than normal (According to Ed- he had to dremel the inside to get it to fit) =\

[Airsoft-Ed]

People have since suggested to me that I try a Serpa designed for a Glock chambered in .45 ACP, the Glock 21, 30 and 36/37, I think?

Since it's a chunkier round, the real one ought to have a wider slide by at least 2 or 3mm, which means that the holster for it would also be wider by 2 or 3mm, which coincidentally, is more or less right on the money to fit a WE Glock.

 

Thing is, Serpas cost a lot and I've already got one that I've made fit, so I'm not going to be the one to take the gamble.

[M_P]

If you have one that fits and works without an issue I wouldn't bother with a new one as like you say, the cost is high and could be spent on other things.

[Ian_Gere]

Has anyone ever used a Modify Hybrid TBB?

Cheers.those are the ones I saw,also got a peek of them at a Bazaar over here,will try pick them up.

[Spawnah]

Is WE a bad manufacturer? I've heard a few people say it is but don't have enough experience with them.

[Tariq]

I'd say the people who say that have either only tried the really old WE products, or just pass on hear say.

 

newer WE stuff are pretty good. may not be flawless, but I've seen TM slides explode after 2 hours of use. nothing is perfect.

[Spawnah]

Looking at G&G Combat Machines on ZeroOne, what are the tuning options and what do they do?

[AirsoftTed]

They're types of spring, changing the spring will change the kind of FPS you get from your gun. I wouldn't bother changing it on a Combat machine, they simply don't need it!

[Spawnah]

What battery best suits this http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=268_318_403_494&products_id=6076? Also, is that a good choice of first AEG?

[AirsoftTed]

You'll be needing an 8.4 crane stock style battery for the raider series, the battery comparment is in the stock, its a bit awkward to use but you get used to it.

 

It is indeed a good choice, anything from the CM range is good for a first timer.

Does anyone know where I can get some "Thunder Bs"? I can only seem to find them on eBay in America but I don't want to risk them getting stuck at customs

[AirsoftTed]

Answered this on your status but for other people, Airsoft World have them in for £25, Zeroone sell them for £40 but should price match AW if you ask them.
