The platinum series has a proprietary hop up arm with a cut out to take their nub. I found it much easier/better to change the complete hop up assembly to one with better tolerances. I like Maple Leaf hop up rubbers and Omega nubs but I also enjoy crafting my own nubs. It really depends on your...
We have 2 in the family. Both have been upgraded with Aluminium hops, ZCI stainless barrels and Maple Leaf rubbers but home made nubs. Accuracy and consistency improved for relatively little cost. Parts sourced from AK2M4
CYMA 098a Platinum and others in the series are a great value entry to...
Can't somebody who knows KM help and guide him away from destroying this sport and towards becoming a positive influencer. KM has the potential to do serious damage to the airsoft we all enjoy so much. Enough is enough Mustang. Over 25 bans at sites in the UK should be telling him it's time to...
The great thing about Luke is that he speaks as he finds. This is refreshing in an industry populated with too many fanboys and paid influencers many of whom mislead the less well informed or gullible. Keep it up Luke.
We have been using two G&G Raiders 2.0 combat machines for the past year. Both have performed faultlessly despite some pretty harsh abuse. Don't come across the Ares but see plenty of Raiders which shows their popularity. Based on our experience the Raider 2.0 is definitely not inferior and...
Played our third game on Sunday. This time it was back to Bravo Romeo. Best yet despite the rain.
What we have learnt:
1. Marshals make a huge difference. Their guidance is invaluable to new players like us.
2. Big or sprawling sites with time limited objectives or roving objectives are...
I am also a relative new player. Was advised by numerous players to go down the G&G route as an relatively inexpensive entry level. I went for the Raider 2.0 as it seemed to offer a number of advantages over early versions.
Have been absolutely delighted with it but have just upgraded the...
Thanks for the advice. We had missions which gave snipers have a big distance advantage with the lack of cover and undergrowth especially at this time of year. Will stick with the AEG's for the moment. Guns being upgraded now. We'll see how we get on next time.
Lurked for a while but have finally managed to play first game with my son last weekend. So much fun. Now completely hooked.
Learnt that AEG's in standard form have limited range and rate of fire. Opponents with upgraded guns could often out-range us and engage before we could return fire...
