US eBay maybe? They're pretty cheap on there (relatively speaking).

Don't tight bore for accuracy with heavier weights.

Well chaps, if the new law covers the point of sale then under most circumstances they won't be able to make those old sales illegal and ask for our stuff back. Cleverly avoiding Ex post facto law is a pillar of modern legal systems but is also the reason why you can still buy 'pre-ban' automatic firearms in the US (if you have the money). Having said that, they could easily make gun ownership illegal in some other way by simply banning their transportation or use etc. If this comes into action and it covers the ownership (again, not the sale) then the UK (and the rest of Europe) would be looking at a huge amnesty that's bigger than anything that's ever been done before. We're talking far, far bigger than Australia or Britain's voluntary gun surrenders and that's going to cost an absolute sh*tload of money and oversight. They are going to need to be super committed to do this on such a scale. It's far more likely that - if this were to pass at all - that it would cover the sale of goods and not ownership. I guess what I'm saying is use all of your Christmas money to horde guns like an American hordes ammunition whenever someone shoots up a school.

He'll probably reply with: 'I'm your MP not your MEP', heh.

Torn bucking, cracked cylinder or just dry seals. How does it sound?

Yeh, that's what I was agreeing with - rod seems the best way like you said earlier. I should've quoted Ian really.

For my M249 I'll likely just be dumping 2000 normal and 500 tracers in there before giving it a good shake. Should work out fine! Problem with using two speedloadsers that I can see is it's incredibly hard to just eject a single BB without the one behind it rolling out onto the floor. Maybe hand load the single tracers and use the speedloader for the rest? I guess with a midcap that's pretty hard though as the tension increases.

If you put Nuprol ones next to Heroshark it's very clear that the Heroshark ones have larger openings and are less obstructive of your view - not sure if this is down to poor design on Nuprol's part or better materials in the Heroshark ones that mean the metal can be thinner, but either way Heroshark easily make the best ones out there.

Probably from here: http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/41-vsr-rifles/11058-tutorial-easy-takeout-your-vsr-style-mag.html I'm likely going to do the same as getting them out is a real pain - especially the G&P ones (though the feed mechanism is slightly different so who knows if it's doable with them).

Ok, thanks for that. I grabbed the shotgun primer adapter, but have yet to try it. Was only £5 in the sale so I figured 'why not'. Maybe wrapping it in two layers of electricians tape may make it a little less painful if it were to hit someone?

Slightly derailing here, but how affective was your Ohshiboom at detonating on contact with softer surfaces and grass? I'm going to be using it in woodland and just wanted to know what to expect.

No, it wouldn't come close to that much.

It's a slightly more polished version of Project Reality for BF2 - that's no bad thing, and given the development team it's not surprising. Graphics are a tiny bit lacking, but the core gameplay is basically just more tactical Battlefield - reminiscent of ArmA, but not as large-scale. Most of the core followers of the game are good guys that don't mess around too much, but ultimately it plays better with people that you know and can use Teamspeak/Discord/Ventrillo/Skype/<your choice of VOIP goes here> with. What with it selling well and some of the more scrubby ArmA players moving over thinking it's going to be like king of the hill with some Battlefield mixed in could ruin that balance, but if it's anything like PR then finding pubbers to play with isn't too difficult either.

Are you actually booting from the USB? Go into your BIOS when you start up (depends on the manufacturer, but can be F9, F10, F11 or F12) and make sure the boot order is set to boot from your USB (if you're installing Windows), hard drive (if you're swapping from an old PC) or the disc drive.

I got the B&T, but I'm in agreement that the X3300 is the best out there. Its other functions are very impressive too. I have found that it does make a difference if you use decent batteries too.

I've got Nuprol .3g tracers (as they're the only brand really for that weight) and they seem fine. I've also got Blaster .25gs which work well too.

Signature might need an update then

This guy gets it: Never ever fully trust a retailers opinion of a product - they are there to make money, and this is particularly abundant online where they don't have the one-to-one interaction that you might get in a shop where they can guide you to something more suitable or answer questions you have. A positive blurb on their page is the different between a missed sale or not so they absolutely will be biased. Sorry man, but this isn't just airsoft. Life lesson to be learnt here about buying anything. As least it's only somewhat wasted on a cheap plastic gun and not a car or house.

Hmm, for that money I'd just grab a decent brand's GBB SMG - instant trigger response does help a bit plus they can be a lot smaller given that they don't have the limitations that come with AEG gearboxes.

AFAIK, only G&P and a few smaller brands are making barrels threaded CW these days. 90% are CCW, so as a rule you can assume that's the case.

Shoot yourself with lighter BBs to build up a tolerance for heavier weights.

Or use the Google Search syntax to do this: tm mp5 site:airsoft-forums.co.uk Then you'll only get results from here.

It'll be fine. Shake well to make sure the lube is dispersed though.

I don't own any AEGs anymore because I love GBBs and HPA so much, but AEGs are more reliable in some cases (in that they don't have as many variables). If you've been airsofting a while and think you want to take the plunge then I'd say give it a go; you won't know if it's for you until you've tried. So yes, I would recommend gas over AEGs because they're more interesting and fun to use to me, but I would never recommend them to a beginner because they can burn a hole in your wallet and aren't as reliable shooters a lot of the time. At the end of the day, I feel this is one of the more subjective areas of airsoft so treat my opinion as just that - an opinion.

Well at least Newegg is decent in the States.
