I am surprised Firesupport just use a standard spring they are generally better than that.I think they swap out the gears because there have been a few failures. Marui guns are generally well made but the gears are garbage, work great if left alone but dont like being messed with. Its all about balance with TM aegs once you mess with one thing something else usually gives up.

Beat me to it. I was already saying an orga isnt a great idea in a recoil. I was just pointing out that they are the only two brands which make any real difference over decent stock barrels.

First off the prommy barrels are ok and you haven't bought a duff one if your worried. Pdi are the straightest best finished barrels on the market. Their main ones are the 6.05mm which is great but to get the best results needs lapping but once done the difference is noticeable. Best off the shelf is their 6.08mm brilliantly finished and performs really well. The orgas are widebore 6.13 and 6.23 which can give great performance with a well set up hop. Good range and groupings arguably better than the pdi but I personally am on the fence. I wouldnt recommend the orga in the recoil though, in an aeg you want a gun to be firing 390fps before you put it in because it will lose about 40 to 50fps. Recoil gearboxes are not great for high torque builds. The problem with tightbores is that you can get a small increase in range but the accuracy isn't as good especially with grouping consistency.

The eagle 6 spring mentioned above is just a shorter spring made for tm recoils.They use a slightly shorter spring to the standard aeg gearbox. Firesupport I would of thought would use a compatible spring when upgrading so wouldnt give that too much thought. Firesupport are a very well renowned store that dont have a habit of trying to rip people off so I would just trust their judgement. Tightbore is the only thing I wouldn't bother with it will give you a few more fps but is not so great for accuracy consistency. The TM barrels are fine and only really worth changing out for PDI or Orga. The bit in the middle was a bit unnecessary and wont win any friends though mate. Havent seen anybody post anything negative on your thread.

Could be worse mate I havent played since the start of November and I am still recovering. Getting older isnt much fun.

Change the spring then.

Dont mean to be funny but a fair amount of what you wrote in this thread comes across as condescending. Maybe you didnt mean it that way but its still a bit of a pot, kettle black situation.I think we all can post or read things that are taken wrong but its generally best just to let it go. Regarding the topic the answer is in the title. Opinions Its what we all have some like to spend lots and get the very best others dont and both choices are correct to the individual who makes it. Wouldnt it be boring if we all agreed and bought the same thing.

Just check to see if its counterclockwise most are but you do get the odd one that isnt.Tracer units are generally ccw.

Sorry got to disagree with most of that. Hit taking can be crap but that the players not the venue and can happen anywhere. Never seen the staff be rude ever they like a laugh and joke occasionally but only ever give crap to the regulars. They definitely dont favour the regulars if anything they come down on you harder for any infractions because you know the rules. Bfg rules I agree with I have been hit by one that some twat threw down a corridor, a few inches higher and I would of caught it in the side of the head. Its too dark and too up close for lobbing round chunks of metal just use cardboard pyro, they are more fun anyway.

I practice my fitness for airsoft by repeatedly running into walls. I find its the best preparation I can have I usually start training about a week before a normal skirmish and at least a month before a big event. To jazz it up I occasionally throw in a few suicide slides. I have almost cracked the embarrassed did anybody see that ninja jump up now.

You made that up didnt you.? At least I made the effort to find a real thing for the acronym. F*cking yanks always have to have the last word, even when its wrong. ?

Mesh is fine.If the bb does break up and do through it doesnt do any real harm because all the energy is removed. Quick rinse with some eyewash and back at it.

What has the United Kingdom Team Racing Association got to do with airsoft? Is sailing a defence now?

Ouch that had to hurt. Not sure if you can really put that down to just the holster though. I think the hillbilly holding the gun had a fair bit to do with it also. Laughed so hard I nearly threw up.☺

Yep but a firehawk is basically an over sized pistol (a sh*t one). Your krytac PDW on the other hand ?

The only way you might get a firehawk to do 55 metres is if you have a tailwind and a good throwing arm.

Great another gear argument. How about this for a gear opinion. Doesnt matter who makes it all that matters is. Its comfy It doesnt dissolve in the rain. Doesnt tear like rice paper. You can carry whatever you need in it. And most importantly you like it. Everything else is just personal opinion. Me personally I dont care if its military grade or if SF use it because I am not going to war, I am going to play airsoft with my toy gun.

Divorce your parents on the grounds of cruelty.

Just noticed you said to get it shooting 80 to 90 metres. There is no upgrade that will do that short of a Xmas miracle.

Why buy a firehawk if your just planning on gutting it and spending more money on it? Buy this instead. http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft/krytac-trident-pdw-black.htm#.VnBtHi8Ybfs Short and stubby but you can still use outdoors out of the box. It will be a better gun in every way.

Theres logic there. Somewhere. ☺

Is there any point with a 5 metre range? Could hit targets at that range with a McDonald's straw. I use the building I work in. I can set a target at 50 metres and it has the added bonus of pissing the boss off when there are bbs everywhere.

Thats funny your missus told me it was cqb at best. Apparently it breaks down pretty quickly as well.

Oh well add that one to the half dozen that have smashed before. Its a pretty common occurence there, one of the aspects of playing in there is something is always getting smashed or set fire to.
