Suggesting an L85 over a SCAR-L is a pretty serious offence, but i suppose we can let it slide once.

Sorry, there must be an echo in here. ? I remember seeing a Marui one in a (paper) catalogue about 25 years ago, i've wanted one since then. I'll have to give Splatoon a try some time, it seems to get good reviews from other players.

Those short triangular handguards look so cool. ??

It should fit fine, there are pics of them on 19Xs which are the same frame dimensions, and pics of them on 17s and 19s too. Good choice on the 45, by the way, i have a couple and it's my favourite model. ??

I'll have to give my EMP another look then. I love it, but it doesn't perform as i'd hoped. (yet.) I'm not really fussed about my 42, i want to like it but it's totally underwhelming, don't know why my mags don't last a whole fill, and i have 3 of them for it. Surprised you don't like the P365 so much. I know it has no hop, but my 4.5 one is pretty accurate. I like the design and ergonomics of it. I kinda want an airsoft one but have 15 pistols already and only really use the same one every time.

I have a VFC Glock 42 and i really want to like it, but the magazines don't hold enough gas to empty a full load (10 rounds?) and the trigger's horrendous. I have a Strike EMP pistol like yours and it's really nice, but only like 200 fps on 0.2s. Keep meaning to buy one of those P365s as i have a 4.5mm version and i looooooove it. Such a great little gun, shoots so well and fits in the hand perfectly.

SCAR-L. ??

Oooh! Are we planting potatoes?

I think you're right, it is M14-2, you can see where the little hop adjuster passes through the front. But i agree it looks like the hop's broken. If the snapped part was metal it's by silver where broken, and it looks like there's a clean break seperate from the 2 horizontal ribs either side.

Old? What an understatement, some have weeds growing out of them!

What gun and NPAS is it? Do you mean set up or install? For setting up, with a chrono it takes probably 10 mins to set the NPAS and hop probably about the same.

The general consensus is that AEPs are dogshit and a waste of money, poor performance and horrendous trigger response. Better off with a CO2 pistol, work all year round, largely unaffected by cooldown, etc. This was recommended to me by @Colin Allen and he was absolutely spot on, and i've only used CO2 pistols since. I have Umarex/VFC Glock CO2 mags i run in my other Glock GBBs without issue. Going by the SSE18 i'm guessing you're fine with Glocks, so worth a look. (I put the CO2 mags in my 18c and the full-auto is fast.) Also have an Umarex/KWC CO2 H&K USP, which is really nice but all proprietry inside which mostly rules out upgrades.

Is that not the bottom of the hop unit? https://www.sixmm.com/en-gb/products/cyma-g36-hop-up-chamber-setfor-tokyo-marui-m14-aeg-series?srsltid=AfmBOoo_DgxJqB2FDvqr_tgwTo5vwLuZijEMPz8amFEh1_G2Xd_f51pm

Worst derail ever. ?

Yeah, but he'll throw in the 30 quid silencer! (For extra, obviously.)

You look exactly like i imagined.

I don't think you even need that if you've seen the typical muzzle and trigger discipline of the average airsofter during the safety briefing.

So after deciding not to spend too much on the new 417 right away.. i bought a new inner barrel, a new M100 Spring, a scope, a bipod, and two 500mm pieces of raw ally bar/tube to make a silencer for it. I can't be trusted with money.

No no no. He got permission from the police, remember? "Deal with it as you see fit." He has it recorded, it's basically a warrant. Errr, right? ?

If it's like the ones i have, clockwise to reduce power, anti-clockwise to increase.

So why would they say ex-army, and not ex-police? Just so we're all on the same page, none of this adds up and everyone thinks you're talking utter bollocks, in the follow-up thread that no-one asked for, after you got locked out of the first one. In the (unlikely) event any of it's true, don't do dumb shit like keeping RIFs in your car and rolling around with them day to day. That alone should be obvious. Someone who says they have 4 kids should be a little more sensible and responsible. ?

I don't like your attitude! (I think that's the line?)
