sonofsammo Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Well delivery day so far was good! 2 new MWS mags, a single point sling, a little pocket knife and....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Nice! I’ve got one of them too, but mine has a couple of mods. It’s amazing how quiet they are compared to a GBB. Good luck hitting yourself in the dick with a single point sling only made that mistake once haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofsammo Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 Next question in the world of "spend my dosh for me"...... Can anybody recommend mag couplers for MWS mags please? I know It'll give me problems with pouches, but I think the benefits of an extra 30 rounds on tap will outweigh the disadvantages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Never been a fan personally, because once those two are empty, your reload time then becomes much longer unless you’re happy to drop £90 on the ground. Have a look at a ‘readymag’. That way you can always have a second mag on the gun, but not attached so you can still have functional pouches. After using it for a bit, you’ll get a good idea even without counting when you’re about to run out. If I feel like Ive got maybe <5 bb’s left before I move from cover or enter a building, I’ll change the mags out anyway. Unless you run a dump pouch, always designate a pouch for putting half empty/empty mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Its just practice, youll get a feel for shot count. Mag wise just use decent pouches, for speed the fastest has to be Esstac KWYI closely followed by HSGI Taco's, if i carry 3 mags i make sure i have 4 pouch slots, that way i can shove the empty straight in and pull a fresh one if im not feeling dumping the mag on the ground. Magpuls are good for protecting the bottom of the mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofsammo Posted March 6, 2018 Author Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm a bit limited on the pouch front, as my rig has fixed pouches. So I think the redimag might be a way forward if I can find one that's not extortionate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentonboy Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Magpuls and a Ready Mag are fine ideas: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F172770713483 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332574902811 These are good to for stowing on Molle, pocket edges or similar: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232644478677 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing how quiet they are compared to a GBB. I've just been having a play with it and I can't believe things: 1) how quiet it is 2) how accurate it is 3) how much more power comes from adding the suppressor My son was adamant that the gun was louder with the suppressor on. Then I fired with no BBs, once with, once without. Turns out that the increased noise was from the BB hitting the box harder with the suppressor!

Wo1f Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Is it a TM or an ASG? A Tm silencer should just be a foam filled tube and has no power benefits. An asg one increases the power I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wo1f Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 A strange one.... different B.B. weights perhaps? You want to use nice, heavy ones in it if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted March 6, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2018 Perhaps the thwack was more noticeable against the quieter report from the barrel with the supressor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofsammo Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 I read around a bit and decided to get a new stock and decided on this: click Solves two problems - gives me a new stock and allows carry of an extra mag - Result! Now looking for a vertical foregrip - but my word, the choice is endless!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofsammo Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Absolutely gutted. That lovely beautiful stock has to go back. Because the magazine catch doesn't work with airsoft mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if it would suffer from the same problem as the stock I got - that being that the magazine was too high at the top where the BBs come out, so the magazine didn't engage with the release catch.

None of 'em came close, which is why I ended up with the viper chest rig. Which is, quite frankly, shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dentonboy Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Uurrgh. Viper. Have a fleece of theirs which is good. My Dad has a SAAV which is decent. But every other item I have seen or owned is just pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
