yeah this is the thing, I might be stuck with that unless I can get some sort of muzzle extender to fit one one? if that even exists ?


You can get a barrel extension that would put the suppressor out the front fairly easily.

 
How long can you leave BBs loaded in a gas pistol mag without causing a problem?
Leaving BB's in any spring magazine (AEG mid caps and of course pistol mags) for a day or two will have very little impact.
However if you leave them full and the spring compressed for say weeks, they will likely compress permanently and lose strength to push out some of the last bb's.

If you're asking because you have done this, fill the mag to full and fire the bb's out and see if you can finish all the bb's in the mag.
 If you haven't done this, I would recommend that you don't :)

But again some mags may not be used for the whole game day so most usually have around 8 hours compressed and will work fine for months to come (will eventually have an effect but takes a long time).

They can be stretched if this happens, or replaced for very cheap.

I filled my mags to play on Sunday just gone, but didn't get to play.
So, as I'm playing this Sunday, I'm wondering whether I should empty them now, or just leave em til Sunday...

I mean.. I don't want to be rude by being sarcastic but it takes 2 seconds to fill them and empty them..
Pistol mag springs are rather thin, so the sprung metal will be more susceptible to compression issues, I would empty them if I were you, and also ask why you filled them up before you went?
I don't want to shout wrong info or say I know for sure, but when I started out 5 years ago I was told it's illegal to travel with a loaded airsoft magazines.

Again cannot remember but just empty dude :P saves less issues.

 
and also ask why you filled them up before you went?
Time. I have three kids and can get mags loaded and so on whilst still looking after em, waiting for wife.
I'm never able to get to a skirmish for the start time, so having everything ready to go saves playing time lost when I get there.

Fair one mate, but I would reload when Sunday comes around instead of waiting.

 
Dynatex timed BFG - Is it just me, or are the pins shite?
Have used it twice. Each time the pin was very difficult to get in. On the third time, it bent pretty much in half.
Can anyone recommend a decent pin that's compatible , but won't break so easily please?

You're not wrong, they are shit. And so were the gen 1 SWAT VTG's, however they came out with an upgraded one a while back.
May be worth your while ordering a couple from SWAT?

 
The pins on mine weren't too bad. I made more by buying some split pins and split rings/key rings. Cost about a fiver for 20 of them in the end. Also put heat shrink on the split rings to stop them making noise.

Some arrived today so I can do just that! ?

 
Hi I’ve recently bought a Nuprol Delta Pioneer Defender and i was wondering if there’s any point changing the hop up and some other bits to make it a better gun or should I just leave it and save the money to get a better RIF?

Yes to the second bit.

On the other hand a new inner barrel and a better hop rubber won't break the bank and can only improve the gun. As long as you don't throw too much turd glitter at it you'll be fine.

Leave it stock.

Already has a tight bore barrel and the hop unit is good for .28s which it can fire a decent range with good accuracy.

Save your pennies up for your next RIF then keep this one as back up...

 
Can you set of a MK5 Thunderflash by shooting it? I want to thread mine through the webbing but I don't know if it's safe.

 Aha, that's... interesting shall we say? But thanks dude ?

Not with an airsoft gun, no. In fact the main problem you'll have threading it through webbing is bending it when you move about.
