Also what a lot of players don’t seem to realize is TM are made exclusively for the Japanese market(Their not that bothered about what the rest of the world wants) where the FPS allowed is no more than 322fps by law . TM manufacturers all their gun to function to there maximum potential below this number hence they function so well at a lower FPS compared to other brands , and once you DO start ‘up-grading’ you end up in a situation where once one part is changed it throws everything else out of sink and you then end up replacing another part , then you need to replace another part , and another etc etc . I buy what I can afford AND what I like , so my collection runs the whole gamut from £25 springer shotguns up to £600+ ‘special’ guns AND everything in between ! ? I’ll be honest I’ve never encountered anyone looking down on my kit(but I think they probably realise from my general ‘demeanor’ I wouldn’t take any of that shit from anyone ??) but in the end who really cares ? I don’t ! ?

Longest I've had it in was about an hour and a half. Wife loved it. Oops, wrong forum, misunderstood the title...

Never say never ?

Don’t diss the BBG4L stock Apparently it’s a sound investment, allowing you to get a more than 100% return after giving it a jolly good thrashing ?

Do you mind me asking what it is that you're after? There is physical stock that may not be listed online. Someone may have a lead on what you want here in the UK already.

Yes, the case that springers to mind is of the drunken beggar (but I repeat myself) that was convicted for public possession of an orange "soft air" gun. It's unclear from the reporting whether the prosecution was under 16a as above, or Firearms Act Section 19, simple public possession. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/man-toy-gun-outside-bank-2723276 Still convicted though, Firearms Act doesn't distinguish. I'm guessing one of these beauties. Broken drum time, but public possession (IF or RIF) is the real risk for us as owners, purchasers, and even "modifiers", not any VCRA considerations, since the VCRA won't be an issue unless you've already been caught orange handed. Note that Section 19 is a strict liability offence that requires an affirmative defence, and the prosecution doesn't have to show any intent or guilty mind. I try to keep site details readily to hand on my phone when on the way to or from a game day.

I've never looked at TMs principally because they are far and away beyond my budget. For me one of the thrills of airsoft is how much fun you can have without needing to spend massive amounts. Of course, wanting to spend massive amounts is a very different thing... For me, light weight wins every time, so it's plastic for me. Not at all fussed by recoil. Did try a GBB Glock once a few years ago, was fun but wouldn't go out my way to get one. Yes, gear snobs can look down at me if they so desire with my crappy Lancer Tactical M4 and my UAR. What is it thats said about APS, "A Piece of Shit"? Well to me they're great fun, work perfectly and cost me hardly anything. Most of all, I'm happy with what I've got. And they do the same job of lobbing plastic BBs at sub-350fps as something five times the price. And if folk want to blow 500 quid or whatever it is on a TM, fair play to them. Personally, I'll still hanker after a sub-£150 CSI XR-5 and perhaps an affordable non-CO2 Desert Eagle. As far as I'm concerned I'd never own another gnu if I had both of those.

Clearly. But wiv such gud returnz on investmunt yood fink theyd aford sumwon whooz a desent spelchekur too sort out they're websyte. Cos ryt now it looks lyke Angela Rayner is responsible for the coding...

Glad you asked. So, as is typical one of the RIFs that was part of the order went out of stock (not surprising as it was leading up to Black Friday). I've since been in contact with TG, re-jigged the order and am awaiting them to invoice me so I can pay through PayPal. Everything is in stock, and they are still up for running the test order with DHL to the UK. As soon as I've paid and receive the shipping notice I'll let the forum know, so you can judge how it went. However, being a glutton for punishment (and because I couldn't pass up a bargain on Gunfire), I've also got a parallel order with them, noting they've ceased using GLS (apparently they had some issues) and have gone back to UPS. I did email them about this and they seem to think that recent performance has been better to the UK (to be fair it couldn't have been much worse). Luckily I'm not in a rush, and I thought it might prove an interesting experiment to compare the main Polish retailers and how quickly they are shipping and report back. Any delay will also give me a chance to think about what I'm going to say to my wife when all these RIFs turn up...

I'd send them back and the retailer would cover all costs. Bloody cheeky of them.

Damn you ! I appear to have accidentaly ordered a Spectre ?

Impressive! Lose walls, small penis or numbness cream + a rubber??

True and fair bud. People buy rifs different reasons; I like collecting gbbrs for example, not always practical but they always put a smile on my face when someone gets tagged.

Tbh I tend not to bother prepping the surface more than a quick wipe down, but that's because I like the worn look. Also Krylon OG and Halfords green are the same shade, as I found out when painting my M4

Worse than UPS? Then I can only assume that this means GLS sort their incoming packages like this. Greater heroism hath no man than that he put in "race ya" orders to two Polish companies during the Christmas rush. I'm fascinated to hear how it works out, both with the orders, and explaining them to the wife.

I can see that screw now actually, but oddly I’d had it off without touching that or the rail l but yeah it’s there cheers until I get my 3d mount for my Venom this is all I have spare to use! ?

This is one of my rifles, 4 years after being painted with Halfords paint. It’s worn but in general still looking good. Having spent large portions of my life painting surfaces, I’d say prep it every time. Yeah it might take a bit of work but the results will always be worth it.

My sister just cited Godwin's law as we argued. I did compare her to Hitler, but only to persuade her to shave that silly little 'tache off.

Phwoarr, haud me back. A top-quality "bundel" (sic, to quote BBG4L) of complete keech featuring keech splintery BBs, keech battery, keech firestarter charger and finished off in super dooper keech dayglo orange for additional keechness. Does it come wi' an instruction "manuel" (again, sic, cf. BBG4L, who's spelling is top quality like their RIFs)? Where's ma wallet...

Yep, and that's what its all about, having a smile on your face. Whether its practical or not! Quite right too. I've only got four RIFs however the one I shoot most often at home is the 20 quid Galaxy springer 1911 I picked up from BBG4L. Its a hoot. Thankfully never come across any gear snobs at games, the folks at my home site are all great craic and there's none of that. However it seems to be pretty prevalent on the net. Stuff em. Pfft. Who am I trying to kid eh...

Try Luke at Negative Airsoft. I believe he has a small supply of a limited number of parts for Bolt MP5s.

All WE rifles are hot bro. Hence all the npas/ nozzle mods and fls disc shenanigans. Also 1 joule nozzles are available from milspec etc.

Pretty much all of my RIFs have come from HK or Japan. If you have a defence, just import yourself. Just know how much you're likely to pay in fees and the rest is just like ordering from a UK retailer 99% of the time.

Yeah defo from my experience; inverted recoil, decent hop, bolt stop function, shit fps - tm ngrs ALL day. Decent fps, ok hop ( although on any m4 aeg it takes five minutes and five quid to make it decent) any other brand aeg! Unfortunately you start tweaking Tokyo maruis and the toffee metal house of cards comes tumbling down. This is why they got such low fps.

? Let us know if that fixed the problem

Bet nobody saw that coming huh? I hadn't looked at the site for years, they just had the SSG and maybe one pistol at the time. Looked again last night, pretty big line now. Also watched a video about their plate carrier since that's my field and that was.. interesting. The staff at the company is apparently 55 people now so those old rumours about customer service being shit because it was just him working from his house definitely don't apply anymore. As with the RIFs, all the kit is just slightly modified versions of cheap chinese stuff available elsewhere; admittedly with some reasonable input visibly based on a lot of playing airsoft. As with anything, if you order enough they'll make alterations to a product from the factories. The way the company was born and has evolved is certainly interesting and pretty unique compared to the classic old model of manufacturers and retailers.

Smart looking gnu that. Summat right out if Halo, or 40k, or Star Wars.

A good 7.4v LiPo will deliver as much or more power to the motor than the 8.4v NiMh As @Shamal said, the MilliAmp Hour (mAh) is how much electrical power the battery can deliver in one hour. (Basically how much it can store) You'll need one bigger than 600mAh. (1300mAh or larger) You also need to look at the 'C' rating. This indicates the maximum power delivery and should be as high as you can get. 20C is standard 25C is better. This should do the trick but check the size fits Make sure to get a decent charger to keep it in good condition and fire free ?

Well, I had a few hours spare so I thought why not try and break my M904E by taking the gearbox apart (my first ever gearbox disassembly!) to see if I can get back my missing 15 FPS, which turned out to be far more stressful than I thought it would be (and a test firing of just the gearbox in the receiver failed, s**t, until I realised the battery was flat). Bottom line is that right now I have to disassemble it again as the combined XT cylinder head and nozzle are too long so BB's are not feeding, the XT and stock nozzle are the same length though, so maybe a cylinder head or tappet plate problem? I see though that MAXX make all sorts of lengths of nozzle so I've bought a few of theirs as well (they do a 21.25mm, lengths seem to increment up or down by 0.25mm). The disassembly did throw up two interesting things though. First of all the bottom of the pistol grip is cutting into the motor wires... https://i.imgur.com/IhUDTtt.jpg ... and secondly I'd seen on some websites that the DE M90X's allegedly had a bearing on the piston head as well and they do!.. https://i.imgur.com/LVlAPn6.jpg ... and this has had no effect on my my Guarder SP100 spring which is still 17cm after around 10,000 shots. Edit: I also bought a Guarder tappet plate, on which the "fin" on the rear that connects with the sector gear is wider, and with this swapped in this morning we're feeding again and back to 345'ish FPS on 0.20g BBs ?

My delivery turned up today. Yay! A fairly painful wait, as its missed what might have been my last game of the year, but I have to say the kit itself is nice. The modular suppressor is very much like the cheap AliExpress one I got last week, but that was actually nicely made so I'm not going to complain. And the modular design is good.

Plucked from my Instagram (sneaky_rich_airsoft). Wasn't much fun on green gas with the cold weather but with HPA.....totally different beast! My mates lending me his M4 adapter for tomorrow, so hopefully fun shall be had, by me atleast anyway!!

I used halfords on mine with no issues. Seems as good as Krylon IMO. Coating it in matt lacquer will help protect the paint.

I picked up a new battle harness recently. so changed from a black Viper Skeleton harness to the Viper Battle Harness in multicam. And during Black Friday I spotted some big discounts on the Novritsch (sorry) modular suppressor and one of the rifle camo covers. The cover was so cheap I thought I'd see what it was like... not bad I think - it certainly breaks up 'black slab' of the top half of the gun

Because that was the offence. The distinction of a VCRA IF or RIF is irrelevant to the offence Section 16a of the firearms act: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/16A [F116A Possession of firearm with intent to cause fear of violence. It is an offence for a person to have in his possession any firearm or imitation firearm with intent— (a)by means thereof to cause, or (b)to enable another person by means thereof to cause, any person to believe that unlawful violence will be used against him or another person.]

What's the top one B, is it a type 89 ? Looks a bit FN, I likey ?

Protection for your eyes, yes they'll be fine but make sure you have some anti fog treatment with you too. Also - you WILL need full face protection if you're under 18 (some sites are under 16). If you're going with glasses then make sure you get a lower face mask too.

Nope, to my surprise the weapons catch actually holds it very firmly and just heigher than the centre point of the weapon. I would say it flaps about as much as a moderately discruntled whale.

Does it not flap about like an absolutely terrified salmon?

This weekends line up for The Gaol in Leicester! Decided to give my MTW a rest l, so I can play with my other toys!!

Fair point , BUT as Airsoft is 80% ‘the look’ and 20% performance it NEEDS a spectre not an ACOG ! ?

I know, but I've got a bit more time on my hands at the moment than usual so fancied playing around a bit ? To be honest I could probably just get away with just re-greasing the stock piston head and seeing what happens, but I've an itch I want to scratch.

Currently £79.99 on Just BB Guns This used one must be nicely worn in to save any buyer having the hassle of being able to return to the shop if it’s gash ? I mean, why buy new when you can get a secondhand one for more and pay for postage ?

The EmersonGear one buddy!

Sights? Pfft, point and spray, bro.

Now normally I’m definitely not a “guns done !” sort of player as I’m always want to change this’n’that with my guns , but after getting an ‘old school’ red dot from these very forums(very BIG shout out to @kistofurryfor it) I honestly can say I’m really happy with it now and can’t see anything I want different on it . Now that’s nice .

I feel for the OP as he's clearly got a lemon but I've had no issue with them myself and to say that an entire company is shady off the back of one purchase is going a bit far. As for hiding where they're based, if you don't notice that all the shipping options are China/HK based at checkout then that's on you.

I actually think they should double the minimum age. No under 25's, at least a three day induction course, six months of banks statements and a permission slip signed by your wife/partner. If you're not married/living with your partner, you can't play. Save the space for those of us who have a legitimate reason to leave the house at 6am on a weekend.

A penguin is driving a rental car through the desert when suddenly the air conditioner stops working. The penguin, frantic with the heat, swerves into the first car repair shop he sees. Penguin jumps out yelling, "Quick, quick! Drop everything and fix my air conditioner. I'm literally dying from this heat! Really, it's an emergency!" The mechanic says, "Calm down, now. I can fix your car in about a half hour, and you should just go across the street to wait in the ice cream shop. It's cool in there, and they sell soft-serve ice cream." The penguin is thrilled, jumping up and down, and yells, "Yay!! Soft serve is my favourite!", and he scampers across the street waving his stubby wings. Exactly a half hour later the penguin rushes out of the ice cream shop with vanilla ice cream all over his face, and runs into the repair shop, yelling, "Did you fix it!? Did you fix it!?" The mechanic says, "Yeah, no problem. It looks like you just blew a seal." The penguin frantically wipes his mouth and yells, "No fucking way! That's just ice cream!!"
