They are strong enough but personally I wouldn't use them because they're not sealed around the edges so a BB can get underneath from certain angles.

Protection for your eyes, yes they'll be fine but make sure you have some anti fog treatment with you too. Also - you WILL need full face protection if you're under 18 (some sites are under 16). If you're going with glasses then make sure you get a lower face mask too.

Does anyone know a good place to buy the diddy 20mm x 5mm glass tube fuses? I need a 30A for my AK and the ones I find are either 20A or below, or in China, or part of huge quantities or in selection boxes.
I only need a couple!

Those are 30-32mm. Rostok is after 30A in 20mm which are much harder to find, to the point where I gave up and settled on 20A. Mind you, I've binned off all my fuses now anyway, it's just another point of failure.

Bodge? That's standard servicing procedure on anything made in Longbridge.
Also, now I'm miffed that I resisted the strong temptation to suggest that.

Plenty online if it has to be 30amps https://www.amazon.co.uk/Glass-Fuse-Classic-Length-Electronic/dp/B073HJCP59
Thanks but 30mm is too long for the plastic fuse holder the tech fitted.
Mind you, the damned thing takes up a lot of space and makes the top cover hard to fit (especially under-fire, as I found out), so maybe it has to go anyway.
The fact that the fuse did blow gives me some pause for thought! However, it was only a 20A.

I only had one pop (before I deleted them) and that was a 20A mini, after a V3 lockup where I did what everyone will do the first time it happens: held the trigger and hoped.
I'd reckon 20A is sufficient to protect against user error in a reasonable AEG, and once you've learned to not just keep fingerblasting long after it's clear that you're not going to get a happy ending, it's only there to protect against a full short. My plan for that is to hurl it away then strip the corpse for parts.

Where can I buy the circular button to unluck the folding stock on my TM AK-47S?
The button fell off at my last skirmish.. I've searched a lot but nobody seems to sell this particular part, it's not even showing as out of stock anywhere.
@ak2m4 Do you ever see them anywhere?
(Alternatively, if I could swap the under folder for a side folder I'd be interested in that, but unsure if it's even possible on a plastic body TM AK)

I'd like to fix an M4 collapsible stock to my AR15... but that has a fixed short buffer tube, and the wiring might be a problem. Is there a way to do it?

Yes, I've just done it with my 308. It foes require some cutting and additional/alternate parts, shot me a pm or make a new thread it's not a quick question thing.

So I got all the FN57 specific upgrade parts worth a damn. But I did spot this Nine ball Dyna Piston Head For M&P9/HK45/XDM-40/PX4/FN5-7 Gas BlowBack Pistol Series - Skirmshop Ireland LTD
Any reason to get an upgraded Gas pistol Piston head? Is it for longevity and maximum seal? I am sure the seal I have now is fine.

I need to swap out some / all of the wiring in my SG552 gnu, which gauge wire do I need? 14 or 16 or 18 AWG?
(Stock motor, spring etc, expecting to stick with mini 8.4v NimH battery. It's a tight fit around the gearbox, so the more flexible the better)
And does anyone sell small quantities of black + red wire, and with heat shrink?

a friend of mine has qualified as a personal trainer. He is looking at different tasks with his circuit classes he runs. One thing he mentioned was he saw a fitness video he tried out 1 mile run, various exercises but they used weighted vests. I said i had some low profile vests that you can put training plates in
Any one know where you can get the plates or much about them?, also, are there any cheaper than warrior vests you can use that are low profile and take these plates....
I will google anyway so don't panic when i get a break in work but always good to get first hand experience or avoidance as i remember some members asking about them a while back
