Current pic of the obsession.

Got my handguard painted and setup today; It's got a 45mm spacer on the end, but it's a much better fit when I ready it on my shoulder with the stock 15mm one so I went back to that. I'm also waiting on another RAMP and a 2.5mm ModButton to go with/behind the MAWL on top like this: And the ICS MARS lower reciever (stuck in customs for 19 days today..) Changing the torch on the side to arisaka mount, but needs some work:

Found a Marui M203 shotgun launcher on another site and promptly enquired about it. should be with me in a few days

Had the pleasure of meeting @DrAlexanderTobacco at a milsim. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

That butchered front grip. ?

Today was an absolutely fantastic day with many successes at Worthing Airsoft. We played part of the site that is often neglected and it was super fun. I went with the 1.1J spring VSR so I had no MED (I was called out in the safety brief so people wouldn't whine too much when I shot them up close) and it was a really satisfying day. So many great shots and stealthy moments. Our small sniper element of 3 snipers and one AEG guy managed to hold one of the three bases with the help of a group of rental kids who held their ground against large numbers of way more experienced airsofters for the whole game. Never underestimate rental kiddies! Even though we fell at the end because they just overwhelmed us by pushing us with way more people than we could take out, it was an absolutely cracking game. Made me wonder what the rest of our team was doing Not only that, but one of my good friends at the site has recently picked up a TM VSR project gun (it was broken) for himself and got a local gun tech to upgrade and fix it. Took it out last skirmish day and didn't see much success, so he switched back to an AEG. Today he took it out again and asked if he could follow me around the site to learn how to do the sniper role properly and I said of course he could. He said he'd probably just run it in the morning and then switch out to his AEG again at lunch, but as lunch came and went, he took the VSR out for the afternoon as well as he had so much fun with it in the morning. Said that it felt great to play and was super satisfying to use a BASR, despite less "action". The only detractor for the day was that there was absolutely rampant non-hit taking. Marshalls had to pull up a lot of people on it and I had a lot of instances where I hit someone, they react to the shot and then run away or go to ground. I never understand people who get hit by a single BB out of nowhere with no audible sound queue, and then try and brush it off as "nah, that didn't hit me." If that happens, it's probably a sniper who is watching you through a scope and can see their BB bouncing off your love handles.

My boy first game

So did my first day playing Airsoft today over at Airsoft Plantation. Went with a friend who turns out has been going for some time! Mostly had a good time, absolutely shattered though! Don't think my body has moved like that (short running bursts, kneeling down, bending round corners etc) for around 2 years. THINK I mostly kept up with the pace, there were a few times I was happy to stay back a bit lol. As a first timer, my biggest challenge was knowing the map. Marshalls explained the game and where we needed to go etc, but not knowing where they are, meant I was just following others around quite a bit. Think once ive been there a few more times, ill start to get to know where everything is and have more of a equal playing field to the regulars. (Maybe i should have asked the marsalls for a map or something...). Did feel guilty at one point as a nade went off which I thought was 7-8 meters away (where they say anyone within 5m is hit), but marshall called me out to say it hit me, happily took the hit without question, just didnt want to come across as cheating at all. Overall I enjoyed myself and can only see it getting better, Health Stats: Fat Burn Minutes: 217 (119-140bpm) Cardio Minutes: 182 (141-167bpm) Peak Heart Rate: 155bpm Calories Burnt: 4,324

In a word, great. My Son and I went to Tower Airsoft in Billericay for what was our first outdoor skirmish. There were only 30 players and nearly half of those were one team so it was the rest of us against them. If anyone from Team Sasquatch is reading, thank you. You guys really made the day go well for me and my Son. The games were reasonably brief and a mix of attack and defend. The turnaround time in the morning was a little slow but the pace picked up in the afternoon, and by the finish I was certainly done for the day. Everyone took their hits and spirits were high all day. Marshalling was good, I can see why AP have got the reputation they have. The highlight for me though was the fact that both site owners made a point of seeking out my Son to speak to him and make sure he was enjoying himself. As a parent it always annoys me when people ignore kids and speak to us like they're not there. These guys walked straight past me to speak to him, absolutely brilliant. We shall be back to Tower and will be giving Plantation a go as well. Once I've fully recovered. ?

We just go by general experience. Saves a lot of time. Until he defines his needs... Some people do a bit of research before asking questions but asking about an Inokatsu is not a great start.

Its true that it depends what he wants it for but that 'cookie cutter' response comes from years of the forum seeing people waste money on toys only to be disappointed with the experience and sell them soon afterwards. Gas guns do need a certain amount of experience and maintenance to get the most out of them. For home use is fine but for gaming they're very limiting to the inexperienced. @Johnelliott Look at WE, GHK, Tokyo Marui for various price levels of gas rifles.

Is that the WE version? If so could you kindly tell me where you got the light? My x300 clone doesn't fit on my F226 rail. Oops, sorry. Just realised it is a laser.

What obscure information did you find to make you want an Inokatsu??? You're unlikely to find one, even less likely to find extra mags and even less likely to find spares... Read a bit of the forum for views on first toys to get ?

They are very rare especially in this country. Your best bet is to get one imported from Asia. As a new person to Airsoft I would recommend getting an AEG rather then a gas gun.

Dressed up the P226

I like that, the pattern on the grip, love it.

Tested my m700 on my chrono and pretty pleased with the results. it's not as consistent as a spring or HPA rifle, and it varies from mag to mag, but 1.9J - 2.1J is acceptable deviation between magazines. Although one mag is chronoing at 4.1J so that mag isn't being used...

tbf it didn't cost me too much real wood no stock though. migt beable to squeeze an aep in it.

Thought I’d throw up a picture of my AK before it’s sold. Intended it to be a bit of a space AK, Administrative results wannabe. Sans the Eotech, perst etc. Ended up very farcry esque!

I want a skirmishable mini 14 so bad.

Shell ejecting maruzen, very cool old piece. Will get a video done at some point.

Not that bit. We do play down the bottom by bridge island, yes, but it was nice to finally play 3 base domination down there instead of up by tower. It's usually some sort of rolling assault if we're down that neck of the woods, so it was nice to play something different. I really want us to play more paradise too, but I think it needs a bit of TLC first.

Just got this 'TCU' installed, works great: See how much wobble there would be without it:

Hi, ALL! ? Went to my 1st CQB site, since 2018/19, do I stand a chance? ? Doing the best with what I have, enjoy it for what it is! ??? ?GAMBLE?

My new M655 with functional 20rd magazine

My "parts bin" MWS monstrosity. the kick on this thing with duster gas is like shooting real steel. definitely harder than my 22lr!

The walnut Turkish furniture I ordered arrived… the Mrs was disappointed but I wasn’t. Just need to decide which lovely Czech lady gets it?

Really crap photo as just delivered and poor lighting, but the start of anew build

Ah yes. Getting that way myself... can't be arsed with social media anymore or the dickheads that inhabit it and seem to think their opinions are of importance. Anyway. Nothing new here but took this pic of my two main plastic blasters with pet Xenomorph looking on. Thought it looked quite smart so I'd share. Nothing special but I just liked the shot.

Is this your first time on the Internet? ?

Heres all the British stuff I have at moment. Some are still wip. And currently working on a retro model 725 as used by sfsg. Next will be the G3 turned into a G3KA4.

Some Cool HK builds of mine. All GBBR aside from the HK53

New TM. Eventually I'll sort some type of gucci US civvie build, for now I've got an HK F stock on the way and will probably get a real standard plastic handguard too for this original look. Wanted the SF 628 but oh lord no not for that much; may just get a GBB lighted forend. For now, just that HK aesthetic.

I'd like to start off this thread by saying that the pistols, rifles and shotguns that I recommend are, and always will be, from my own experience of using them and by popular opinion from regular users on here, other forums and other reputable sources. This thread will also be updated over time. The amount of threads I keep seeing about this subject literally popping up every other week is getting a tad bit annoying, so, I figured I'd create this thread to save people from repeating themselves. So, you're a new player looking for a decent gun hmm? You have a set budget for a gun that will be suitable for skirmishing and won't break anytime soon. If you have a budget of £20 - £60, these guns will do just fine. Primarily gas and spring. - Any Double Eagle/AGM single-shot shotgun: These things have good range with .25g BB's and don't shoot above site limits, for around £30 you can't go wrong. Bison shotguns are a good option if you prefer a different look. - Any Double Eagle tri-shot shotgun: Like the single-shot shotguns, these also have good range but cost slightly more (around £50.) Do not purchase the Marui tri-shots new because, personally, the quality is on par with the Double Eagle tri-shots, not worth above £100. Cyma make metal tri-shot shotguns with folding stocks, full stocks, stockless and all metal or polymer for under or a bit over £100 depending on the model. G&P shotguns are outdated and overpriced, avoid. - ASG, KJWorks, HFC MK23: Absolutely the best gas pistol for under £70, very efficient, accurate and cheap to buy. The included 'silencer' will increase the FPS, try to find the Marui silencer to make it deadly silent. - Cyma AEP's: Like the MK23, these AEPs are excellent for the money, reliable gearboxes, some upgrade options out there on sites such as Eagle6 and Firesupport, magazines are very cheap, LiPo kits are also available and are a worthy upgrade. - HFC gas pistols: These are OK for around £30, average accuracy and gas efficiency, plastics used aren't great BUT the pistols are rugged enough for skirmishing, but they won't stand up to long-term use, consider saving up for the MK23. If you have a budget of £60 - £100, this is an ok budget for a gun. - KJWorks P226, Glocks, M9s and 1911s: These guns are absolutely solid, will last a long time if taken care of. Good kick, average gas efficiency due to metal construction, fully Marui compatible. These are capable of using Co2, but is strongly advised due to inconsistent FPS. Magazines are poor quality and WILL leak during your ownership, replacing them with Marui magazines is advised. The paint that is used is very easily chipped. - WE Glocks, P226, M9s, XDMs and PX4's: Like KJWorks pistols, these pistols are very solid performers and are reliable, average gas efficiency and good range. Avoid purchasing second hand, these pistols are usually very well used in their lifetime, check the condition of the pistol before considering purchasing. The Glocks are slightly fatter than the real thing, so as such, they do not fit most plasic holsters, either trim the holster or purchase an adjustable cloth holster. The paint on the pistols is slightly better than the KJWorks, but will still easily be scratched off. - ASG Dan Wesson revolvers: These guns are reliable, but have no hop up, so they lack range. Only capable of holding 6 rounds, these are not suitable for skirmishing due to the lack of range and the inconsistent FPS. Good, realistic backyard plinkers for collectors. - JG Skorpion, Mac 10: These are very reliable and rugged AEP's, clones of the Marui so plenty of upgrade options and magazines online from sites such as Eagle6. You will be outgunned by regular AEG's such as Combat Machines however due to the small gearbox and weak motor. Will make a decent side arm if using a high-capacity magazine. - Well R4 & R2: Decent AEP's, on par with JG. Clones of the Marui, so upgrade options are available. The plastic Well use for the AEPs are very poor, and will shatter under heavy use. The R4's magazine release will snap if used a lot, so take care. Please consider the JG over the Well if possible. If you have a set budget from £100 - £200, the options are essentially endless. This is the budget you need for a good reliable gun. Spring guns aren't included on this list as you'll end up spending more than you'll realise when you end up upgrading them. AEGS: - Any: G&G Combat Machines/GC16, Cyma AK's/Mp5's/M14's, JG G36/AUG/AK's/G3s, ICS M4's/Mp5's(Sportline)/AK's/G33/Sigs/Mx5's, Classic Army Mp5's/M4's/AK's/P90, SRC G36's, ASG Sten-gun/MP40/MP44/AUGs(JG)/M14(Cyma), APS AK's, King Arms P90 and D-Boys KAC/AK's. Pistols: - Any: Tokyo Marui gbb pistols! Their Hi-capas, Glocks, M9's and 1911's have the most after market parts. KWA/KSC pistols are also very good, the Glocks are extremely robust apart from the full auto versions due to their weak fire selector. Marui pistols will work fine on propane/green gas, though I wouldn't recommend using propane/green gas in them on warm days, stick to HFC gas instead. KWA/KSC gbb's have inferior hop up designs, as the 'nub' that is used to apply pressure is just a tiny ball bearing, whereas in the Marui pistols, they use VSR buckings and regular nubs. "Why aren't sniper rifles/DMR's included?" . Spring guns aren't included on this list as you'll end up spending more than you realise when you start upgrading them to 'outperform everyone on the field'. DMR's are just AEG's; put an oversized scope on an unweildy rifle and you've got a DMR. If you have a set budget above £200 to £300, any AEG will do. Consider Krytac AEG's as they're very well shimmed and have excellent air compression. If you like realism, try gas blowback rifles such as WE/GHK/KJWorks, the WE's will definitely require upgrading for long-term use, also consider HPA use for consistency (or Tippman M4's). If you don't like the idea of buying gas but still want the realism, consider the Marui recoil shock series or CTW's. Hope this helps!

First proper skirmish with the MWS today and I was impressed and more than a little happy with every trigger pull. Today was unseasonably warm for Nov so green gas was working well and I even managed to score a few hits during the morning. Feeling I could tweak the hop a bit more, I went to the range over lunch, put a mag through her and was very happy. Slapped another mag in, squeezed off two shots then pffft. Bolt neither fully forward or back, lots of manipulating the forward assist to get it far enough forward to separate the receiver, and there it was - the spring in the extractor bent to buggery. At least I have a spare.
