Not decided, I’ve always liked the MP5, but wonder if they’ll be a little short on hitting power & range. Otherwise I suppose it’s the many many M4 type. Double Bell 416 maybe 🤷♂️ I honestly don’t know, you hear good and bad about pretty much anything. But whatever I get I’d like it to be upgradable if needed, but repairable with available parts if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUKY Posted Sunday at 22:46 Author Share Posted Sunday at 22:46 (edited) I’m all too aware of how it goes from my air pistol collection. I’ve had to slim that down in preparation for this Edited Sunday at 22:46 by MUKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted Sunday at 23:06 Supporters Share Posted Sunday at 23:06 Glad to hear you enjoyed it. There's always a big buzz after day 1, so try not to go too mad. 11 minutes ago, MUKY said: I’ve always liked the MP5, but wonder if they’ll be a little short on hitting power & range. Perfectly solid choice. Jing Gong, CYMA, both work. Put aside any real world assumptions, anything with 200mm+ of barrel length (or even a bit less) will be fine. M4s tend to be a bit more easily fUlLy UpGrAdAbLe, you might want to find a way to secure the hop arm a bit better, but there's nothing hooky about MP5s. Mags are cheap, battery space can be a little limited, but lipos are compact enough that you'll be able to feed it electrons. Have some welcome-to-the-hobby memes!

MP5s are great. They're compact, especially with the collapsing/folding stocks, lightweight, ergonomic, etc. I have two Maruis, with an upgraded barrel and hop rubber they're pretty accurate to 40m, maybe a little more. They're well below the power limit but they're fine. Another advantage is with mid-caps you get a similar ammo capacity to others, but magazines are half the size. (At least comparing Marui 416 to MP5.) Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted Monday at 10:45 Share Posted Monday at 10:45 Welcome. I'd recommend renting till you get your site membership. Yes this is more expensive but it means you won't be stuck forced to buy a two tone. Do finmere rent anything else? If so this'll give you a chance to try other models which you may prefer. Having posted that though, a MP5 can certainly be used in woodland. I suspect that any performance issues were down to the ammo provided. Sites usually give out .2g bbs with rental guns while regular players will probably be using something heavier (at least .28g) Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, sure, I'd recommend it, but I didn't wait. I also never played with a two tone. What I'd definitely suggest is not dumping high-end money in. Tokyo Marui have that magic dust, but £110 for a JG SD6 is likely to be regret-free. 3 hours ago, Cannonfodder said: Yes this is more expensive And maybe not as much as it looks, as you'll be getting BBs for the rental money. Granted, probably not the BBs that you'd want... If the rental gun wasn't great, it may just have needed the hop adjusted - this takes a few seconds, and is something you'll need to learn to do on your own guns anyway. Marshals or other players will be happy to advise, and spot the BB trajectory for you. If it was giving you serious trouble, don't hesitate to let the marshals or site runner know - renting should get you a trouble-free experience.

Mik3F Posted Monday at 16:37 Share Posted Monday at 16:37 Or you could get a starter bundle that gets you everything you need to get playing with your own equipment and slowly upgrade / replace as needed Once you get a UKARA then the range of RIFS you can get really opens up Or check out the classified here for a suitable gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUKY Posted Monday at 22:22 Author Share Posted Monday at 22:22 So the site uses .25 bio BB’s, make of that what you will. I think I’m now decided on a Double Eagle M908B any suggestions on battery make, shop I plan to use seems to use a lot of BigFoot accessories, but also some WE batteries, acceptable?

Mik3F Posted Tuesday at 10:09 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:09 Just make sure to get the battery with the correct connector on depending on what your gun uses Deans, Mini Tamiya etc Although you can change the connectors on them quite easily if you know how to solder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lord_Poncho Posted Tuesday at 14:56 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:56 I'm a great fan of HobbyKing for batteries: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/batteries-chargers/batteries/lipo.html?srsltid=AfmBOorewg7W7txZBp1sQQReaQMzHMCWYjhJXlxPgrnOlK4NhYdpUR7t&___store=en_us#q=airsoft From what I can see, that M908 looks like it uses deans connectors. In terms of space, the M908 uses a 'crane' style stock, which does allow you to use 'nunchuck' style split battery packs. Personally though, I have a load of this type - they will fit your gun either in the stock or the buffer tube (bit that the stock slides onto), and are a versatile size that will fit just about any gun you choose to run in the future. I would get at least two, maybe three. They are only £6 each. Each one should last you at least 1000 shots/an hours intense woodland skirmish. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-1300mah-2s-25-50c-lipo-airsoft-pack-t-connector.html Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted Tuesday at 16:51 Supporters Share Posted Tuesday at 16:51 Yup, exactly what @The_Lord_Poncho said, and good call on the Double Eagle, M90X, we like those. Although... what happened to the love for MP5s? Tackle and ButcherBill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
