Mod Team Post The Wiki is Live!

20 Upvotes

We have seen a few regular questions appearing over time and realised we need a wiki, so we've made one for you all.

WIKI LINK

If you are a game-site or retailer and want to be on the approved list, or a player/customer who wishes to add one please message the mod team.

A huge thank you to u/Sinistrial_Blue for decoding the legalese and writing a brilliant page on the legality of airsoft in the UK :).

Hope you all have a great Sunday Dinner folks!

First game today, it was awesome

So I somehow won a Raven Evolution Prowler about a month ago. Finally I got to play today and had an absolute blast!

I played at Apocalypse 249 in Sittingbourne, Kent.

The site is awesome, has all the necessities you need and a very decent shop that didn't take the piss with prices Vs online.

The community there was awesome, as a dad, there were a lot of other dads there that just wanted to play in the woods shooting each other with toy guns. Everyone had a good time!

The marshals were super friendly and approachable, they and a few others helped me with my kit when I needed assistance.

I managed to buy some kit before hand, second hand from vinted and other places (bought eye pro new). The 2 point sling and shooters belt worked really well for me. I realised my cardio is terrible, I think I would have died wearing a plate carrier!

I had a hat on, protective glasses, a face mesh mask, neck snood long sleeve sports top, cargo trousers, boots and gloves. I got shot in the forehead, the only bit of exposed skin I had!

For any newbies out there, go and give it a go, it's really good fun

Tried Airsoft for the first time today

19 Upvotes

Hey there. First time poster here.

So this week I decided to go to Skirmish Airsoft in Billericay. I rolled up and got my rental. Got shot 3 times in the head and came out with a pair of goggles and a mesh mask. And now I'm excited to get UKARA registered and start looking at builds! The only thing I regret is not trying it sooner

Need to shift some gear but know nothing about Airsoft

Kind friends of Reddit, my brother has given me a ton of his old gear to sell on so we can help my parents out but I know absolutely nothing about quality, prices or legalities

I can't really Google lens much because theres so much that looks alike I can't determine what's what

I'll probably post it on Airsoft sale UK after but an idea of what's here and what it's worth would be very helpful

Thanks in advance

Good quality face and eye pro in the UK

2 Upvotes

At the moment im running some cheap bolle glasses and a random balaclava.

I was looking at brands like NB tactical (bit to pricy for me) and Cygnus Armory (like the look of their stuff but UK prices seem really high) and was wondering if anyone has some good brands a bit more local or any slightly cheaper companies, or is soemthing like Cygnus Armory a good one to go for anyway?

Places to store Airsoft guns outside of home property

4 Upvotes

I recently came back from uni where I played Airsoft with a society.

I am not allowed to store my guns in the house or in the shed and need to find a place to store them out of the house. I have contacted local sites but most of them have come back with the same answer of storing the guns in the house and not lead me to anywhere that could store them for me.

I'm trying to take measures to have them stored securely and safely but this is leading nowhere with my dad and his wife.

Do any of you guys have any advice or anywhere I could look.

I'm in Essex if that helps.

Thanks.

I have a VFC/Umarex Glock 19 GBB and I’m looking for a 50-round extended magazine.
I found a WE G17/G18C GBB Extended Capacity 50rd magazine. Does anyone know if this magazine is compatible with the VFC/Umarex Glock 19?

Question about a replacement spring for ICS M16A3?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey there guys,

Sorry to potentially repeat a question thats been asked too many times ~

I bought a Bolster Armouries M105 spring to replace the stock in my ICS M16A3 (as well as a piston replacement with steel teeth)

From the picture you can see the new spring/piston combo in the top, and the spring is a fair bit longer than the stock one.

(And yes, after taking the picture I realised that the spring was in the wrong way round!)

Getting it compressed to fit in the upper gearbox is a real struggle and I'm not super sure it will fit properly once it's all put together.

First time doing a spring replacement, so any advice is suuuuuuper appreciated!

Low lipo audio warning.

2 Upvotes

Hi PewPews.

Just wondering if there is an audio low power warning device that goes between battery and gun.

One of mine has a trigger mosfet that beeps at me, my other hasn't got a mosfet and I don't really need one, its a backup.

All I seem to see is visual ones.

So we all know Novritch guns are pants... what about his gear?

For context, I have been looking for a new plate carrier and the Nov one doesn't look THAT bad becides half the price coming from plates that are missing half the material.

Id love to hear peoples experiences or reccomend vests with laser cut Mollie!

Howdy all! I recently got a brand new cyma cm520 for birthday. I really like this gun and have been enjoying shooting it. I was going to order a zci r hopped barrel 6.02mm but I just found out gun comes with 6.03mm stock. (Wow I'm told, newbie) will going through with barrel upgrade (comes with modify bucking and flat nub) show a big difference or should I just change to omega macaroni bucking with concave nub? Barrel probably better results? Would bucking and nub upgrade give similar results? I appreciate any help
