I run 5 45 round mags in my Apache (1 in gun, 4 on belt) and it's enough for medium length games and not that heavy. I offset the weight with a USP with 3 mags on the other side so doesn't feel like one side is heavier than the other.

 

100% recommend getting an MP5, not biased at all...

 

Added bonus, the trigger mech is compatible with the WE G3, so you can actually get a G3 GBBR with 3rd burst.

I wanted to do the same with a VFC G3/VFC MP5A5.

The VFC Navy pack with burst is oddly tricky to find these days, annoyingly.

I bought a whole MP5 for it.

MP5 is my weapon of choice for AEG, I have 2x Cyma Platinums so a GBB version is defiantly on my list. How painful are they for upkeep? Lots of posts saying GBB is a pain but if it’s just a strip down and grease after use, which I already do with my GBB pistol it doesn’t sound terrible.

That is interesting information, you have now ruined my day and I must look for a G3 ?

Not very painful at all, can have the gun stripped, checked, greased and back together in 20 mins. 

 

Bada bing has a couple of really good videos on the Apache, well worth watching ?

https://kicbbgun.com.tw/en/pro_05_02.php?id=26855&category=188 based on my last few rifle orders, EMS is about $60USD, so you'd have it shipped for £389.57 - then you just pay ~18-20% at customs on top + £12 for parcelfarce handling

No, he means with the 3-round burst.

 

[Tank423]

Well MB01 loaded with PDI and Airsoft pro parts.

 

Paid less for it than the cost of the trigger unit in it.

 

One very happy chap even if it ends up shooting like shit ?

Gen 3 PVS-14 

 

And a MCL-S2 stock 

[Cooperman26]

I’ve just purchased a box of EG67’s.

And then a box of FBS Mk5 ball grenades. 
 

I was curious as to the difference between them. So I went all in to find out! 

[Cannonfodder]

No pictures as they haven't arrived yet but I just picked up a pair of trousers and UBACS in British Opfor DPM

The latest pair for my rusfor kit, just waiting for the Arrow Dynamics RPG7 to arrive from the forum sales thread to use with tag rounds in the future (then probably have to find a new wife when she sees it!) 

 

Just need to find a standard handguard for the AK47 underfolder and fit a plastic pistol grip when it arrives as the wooden grip is horrible to look at and hold so they match a little more

Just bought another RA-Tech WE M4 Steel BCG as I managed to kill my existing one last weekend - so despite certain people's assumptions, they're not invincible. I was nearly 100k bb's into it though so it certainly lasts a while.

 

Gas key is the bit that broke, but without it, can't use it.
