Guest Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I’ve had two hi-cycle TM Patriots, 30 rps is loads of fun but eats mags. 11.1 lipos munch gearboxes though, had to rebuild my daughters already, so sticking with 7.4’s from now on. rdb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofsammo Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Thanks for all the ideas - all food for thought.@Callum Hornsby thankfully I'm not that far gone that I'd need that The Glock drum mag made me think about revisiting my APS carbine kit for my glock - It fits well and doesn't weigh much. But the drum mag adds nearly a kilo. And only holds 120 shots. So I decided that's a no. So I got my MWS out. And that's a no. Mainly because of the low cap mags and the much higher weight. Which leaves my red headed step child. Nuprol pioneer defender. I could shoulder it and provide slight support with my left hand, which was more for balance than anything strength wise. However, my arm having to change direction or move quickly makes it feel like I've set it on fire. Which is unpleasant. So I think I'm leaning toward a light AEG, with a decent high cap or drum mag. What's the weight distribution like in AEGs? Because with my MWS, it's very front heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted April 1, 2018 Supporters Share Posted April 1, 2018 Yeah fractured it in seven places playing a couple of years back. Carried on and played the day out then went straight for a drink. Really regretted it the next day but was still running on it again in 3 weeks. Human body is an amazing thing for healing itself. Just buy a mk23 and have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wo1f Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 This and a drum. Lightest way you can get a full size gearbox in a gun I’d say. http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/Airsoft-smg/cyma-cm-041k-mp5k-black.htm#.WsEvxXDTWEc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshOnSnow Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I'd probably go with a polymer-body MP5K with hicap, or go full gangster with a MAC-10 or Uzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxy MP5K from TaiwanGun. ~£71, ~300fps, it spurts BBs in the direction that you're pointing. Cheap out, you're not going to be spazzed forever. Consider it as a long term sidearm / CQB / lulz gun.

Moderators Tackle Posted April 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 1, 2018 How are you gonna be winding a mag repeatedly during a game ?, yep you can get around supporting any gun with the use of a two point sling, but mags will be the issue, changing & winding them, my thoughts keep coming back to an "electric" mag, with either sound operation, a decent sized button on it, or even a pressure pad "tail" that you could mount near your trigger finger. If winding mags is gonna be an issue then id look in to those first & then look at what gats it opens up to you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably won't be able to use it properly for a few months. Which means that using my darling MWS will be a little problematic. So, I need suggestions for a practical right hand only loadout for woodland. On the plus side, it potentially means another gun - woooooooo! I could just use mk23 as primary. Another option I guess would be a sniper with a bipod - but I wouldn't know where to start. Any suggestions along these lines? What other options are there that would allow me to have a decent day out, whilst staying competitive? I'm looking for light and only needing one handed operation. Thanks in advance Go and get yourself a M11 or maybe a Scorpion spray and pray. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s small and manageable enough as is and with the right sling it’ll be a doddle to point . A team mate due to health problems has to be VERY selective of his guns and has one and loves it , says it’s so easy too use even with his borked health .

Moderators Tackle Posted April 2, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 2, 2018 Lol, my "smiley" was meant to indicate my sarcasm, like bullpups but not a great fan of the p90, prob due to the standard style mags. thinking about it though, magpul pdr-c with electric m4 box mag, I've got one & it's pocket size literally, & very well balanced for one handed use, can't believe that I'd forgotten about this one.

No, it’s not just HPA, it’s also a 1200 round remote mag feeding into the bottom of the Vector mag.

I built it to run in my Vector, which effectively uses a pistol mag, at the shooting range. Basically, it’s an HPA rig with a Redline SFR regulator feeding into the bottom of the mag via a normal HPA adapter. Then, a Classic Army M249 1200 round remote mag, and a bowden tube feeding the bb’s into the bottom of the mag. Took me a few goes to perfect the Bowden routing, total about £280 quid I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
