Come on then, give us a clue.

all you had to do was lower your expectations for the definition of the term "working" it's a curse.....

According to TG, they'll hopefully be restarting shipping (over £135) to UK this week . . .

Yup, I'm the Guinea Pig for this. One of the RIFS I was after went out of stock so I'm just finalizing the order with their Customer Services this evening.

I like the fact that he's prepared to "talk about postage" ffs, why, cos the guns are so cheap? They say there's more out than in lol?

Those ASG chargers are bloody awful in my experience. Get yourself a decent charger and you might get away with a 1000mAh li-po all day.

WANK! ? im glad someone I “know” got it hit me up when you flip it next week ya caahhhhhhhhnt!!

Problem with you is your ridiculous optimism. Few boneyard rifs I've looked at are that good...

Hi @EvilMonkee yes as per the site they will be available early December, apologies to all, just had to focus elsewhere of late.

Should be fine in a CM.128. I run my CM.123 off of 1200mAh 7.4V stick lipo brutally shoehorned in and with a Deans connector replacing the standard contacts, but that was more just for the fun of it. A drop in replacement makes sense and I found even a tiny 7.4V lipo gave a far snappier trigger response than the stock NiMH. I'd stick to 7.4V for a very specific reason. CYMAs come with higher powered springs as stock, and the cheapest way for a seller to get them down to UK power levels is just to lop some (or actually a lot) of coils off. My CM.516 came shooting bang on 1J, but the spring had been cut down so much that it was barely long enough to return the piston fully. Not a problem with 7.4V, it shoots quite nicely. But when I dropped in an meaty 11.1V 2600mAh highish-C battery, I got significant overspin on semi, double-shooting on most trigger pulls. Unless you're sure that yours already has a full length M100 or heavier spring in it, I'd go with 7.4V. Capacity and even C rating won't matter that much with a stock CYMA, as the draw from the motor will be the limiting factor rather than supply from the battery.

Not an answer but a look at the real rifle which may point you in the right direction.

In the past they were the go to brand for reliability, but fortunately for us poors the ACM manufacturers have upped their game in terms of qc. I agree their gas guns are great, but some models can have issues (I'm looking at you FN57 and R870)

I made a lovely curry last night. Put ginger and everything in it. The kids didn't like it at all. I suppose they were quite fond of the cat though ? Regards

going to 7.4v lipo won't be an issue. its a case of battery physical size and connectors. you either need to rewire your gun or get a AEP lipo converter (like this https://www.airsoftworld.net/new-tokyo-marui-micro-aep-to-smg-7-skorpion-mac10-battery-adaptor-for-li-po-lipo-7-4v-550mah.html )

eBay UK for cheap surplus MTP and DPM Flecktarn.co.uk for budget-to-mid range stuff that hits a nice value point Hueys.co.uk Tactical-kit.co.uk for more gucci stuff UKtactical.com is a steady bet British Tactical is great but takes a smidge more knowledge to understand and C2R fast are about to launch their site if you're feeling rich and want what the SAS use these days. The majority of the rest of the tactical gear available in the UK is clones imported from China and some is good for airsoft and some is hot garbage, you roll the dice.

Safe bet? Yes, almost universally in terms of (at least) decent performance and great reliability. I also mostly collect/build and very occasionally play and I've got TMs that have sat doing nothing for a decade, I pull them out and they work more than well enough to be competitive on the field, I have no stresses or worries about them. For me that's what matters. 'Best'? I actually genuinely would be a millionaire if I had £1 for every time I'd read that in relation to airsoft but with no further explanation.

@Tackle My consolation prize A Cyma 870 springer with a decent quantity of cartridges for the price of postage ?? Want to paint the pump & stock to make it look a bit more “Magpul” Then I will day glo fibre the sights. Planning a few pistol & shotgun games on our site soon ?

My Titan 3,000 mAh Li-Io was £36 from the site shop (but my membership does give me 10% off of all purchases). The way I play though it probably won't last me a whole day at my next game, at times my M904E may as well be an M249 ? Edit: Also on Sunday just gone I probably used around 3,200 mAh of charge overall.

I'm a guy who subscribes strongly to the idea of 'suppressive fire'. I got quite a few kills on my last game when I was spamming shots at an obvious location and people would either peek into it or jump out from it. And the rest of the time I like to think I'm stopping them from using a good firing position to shoot at my team. Also - I've paid good money to be there, I'm damn well going to fire my gun as much as I can - it's fun Firing lots of single shots and 3-5 round bursts I estimate that I used around 1500mAH worth of juice (at 7.4v) for a full day's play on Sunday (one Li-Po emptied, plus a bit from my Titan which I wasn't sure was working ok, so was my backup). I used up a bag and half of BB's, so between 4,000-4,500 BBs in that time. It's good to hear the Li-Po storage thing can be abused somewhat. I can't find my old 7.62 ammo can to store 'em in though, just using a Quality Street tin at the moment. I suspect that'd melt pretty quickly in the worst case scenario ?

Is he having a fuckin giraffe??? 3k would buy you a real M4 ffs.

A single Kong Power 7.4v 1300mAh 20c will last me a whole day. I stick to single shot and only at targets I know I can hit. In a stalemate I'll move instead of the endless exchange. Of course I take about 3 batteries on a game day just in case ?

You won’t find Pencott in a surplus shop . as to what to wear if your field craft is up to scratch then quite frankly you can wear what ever color you want . A good 80% of the people you’ll come across on an open day haven’t a ‘Scooby do’ about it and the will literally walk right past a concealed player using even just the bare minimum of field craft skills !

What he said , I’m terrible at looking after my Batts , I’ve never set them for storage , they don’t get touch until the day before my next game day I alway put them on charge first then when it’s beeping full I THEN put them on to balance . Touch wood the only batteries I’ve had die on me what I’d say was prematurely are 9.9v LiFe I was using for a couple of yrs all the ‘normal’ LiPo’s have been fine .

yeah one of them would be enough thats true and i cant remember of the top of my head just did some digging online and found it sure it was £35. I was meant to have the 908 but they labelled all there 904a stock as 908b stock so got that sent to me and then didnt have the 908 in stock to swap so refunded me the difference in price and sent me a free speedloader. So i only have the buffer tube space for a battery in the 904a Yeah agreed for the sake of £15 give or take its not worth worrying about in my opinion and i can get a 18cmx2cm battery in the buffer tube of my 904A with it just sticking into the stock a little it but doesnt make a difference as i have the stock extended so doesnt interfere.

It's not the length so as the girth as the actress said to the bishop. Wiring can take up quite a bit of space in the buffer, so you're either looking at trying to stuff the battery and wiring in side by side, or coil the wiring down into the buffer (remembering that it has to be long enough to reach the end) and ram the battery down on top. All that said, I'ma go and do some experiments now, as those 16-18mm x 20mm 11.1Vs might actually go into my MP5K or down a buffer tube.

For tactical shirts and combat trousers, try local surplus store or amazon. You can make your own ghillie from camo netting and other materials, there's tutorials online. In terms of looking "organised and professional", you'll need to be more specific. What are you trying to achieve looks wise? Keep it practical, don't just spaff shedloads on fancy kit, it needs to be practical and comfortable. Really all you need is eyepro, a gnu and BBs if you want to break it down to basics... the rest is sort of for looks. Assuming you're at a woodland site, some sort of camo is a good idea. Brown, Khaki, OD or any camo pattern like DPM, woodland, MTP or the Jack Pyke style hunting/fishing pattern is great to make you blend in. Don't wear black as it stands out a mile...

Give the absolute state of Customs and Border Farce at the moment, if they're still not allowing us to pay VAT at source then I reckon I'll wait until after Wintervalmass, and to let braver souls make the attempt.

Got a good deal on a boneyard Secutor Velites gas shottie & hard case, hopefully a fairly easy fix ? @Enid_Puceflange sorry mate?

Shit like this is why I stick to gas guns, which for all their faults are simpler to work on and I can at least physically see whats happening with the mechanics

I do think the new BTP camo works better now we're in the autumn, even the desert version would do a better job blending in with the golden leaves that are all over the ground and the low trees. Dark stuff was less effective and sticking out a bit more than usual yesterday... In the morning I was wearing a black camo UBACS style undershirt, and I wished I'd bought the multi-cam version instead. I definitely don't need stuff slowing me down. That would = stopped A massive shout-out to this chap, who did the WW2 load out properly... He even lit up a pipe during the rest/reload breaks for the full effect Tally-ho!

It's the airsofter's natural progression: At first he plays with nothing but the gun and a couple of mags because that's all he can afford. Then proceeds to buy all sorts of stuff, plate carriers, pouches, tons of mags, optics and what not. The ultimate stage is back to gun + a couple of mags because the rest of his gear just slows him down.

Good old DPM, great all round camo IMO. Best loadouts are the simple ones ?

Bargain-bin S95 DPM + cheap hat and gloves off Wish + used/boneyard Viper skeleton harness. ESS goggles, Tigris mesh mask. Kombat UK universal holster. A couple of SA80 pouches, and a cheapo fast mag holder for when I'm in a hurry (Got 4 of those on the way from that there China) Works alright! Just wish the DPM could hide my belly a bit better

Bloke goes in to a pub. Orders a beer and sits quietly drinking it. After a while he starts feeling peckish and notices the bar snacks and food menu. So he goes up to the bar, asks for a menu off the bar maid who hands him a menu. After reading the menu, Cheese rolls £1, Ham Rolls £1.50, Cheese and ham roll £2, sausage rolls £1 and hand shandy's £5... So the guy calls the bar maid over and he asks her, "Are you the person that give out the hand shandy's" and she replied "Why yes, I am" fluttering her eyes at the guy... He replies "Good... Wash your hands I want a cheese roll..."
