    New player North London Mayhem/AGL

    Welcome to the forum. From N15, it may be worth considering RIFT's Blackstone CQB site in Huntingdon as it is quite easy to get to by train from London and it's less than a 10-minute taxi (or a half hour walk) from Huntingdon station to the site.

    valid defence application

    Adding to what others said, I would argue hiring kit at a skirmish site is your best option to start with or if you have a friend who plays, ask them nicely if they have a spare gun you could borrow. Anth's plugging of a "perfect starter rifle" has exposed many of the problems with two-tone...

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    You've got to love that amount of spend without actually specifying what was upgraded and if it's even worth your typical 60-70%. Is he the same one who'd been selling those random gun bundles with the rifle that was relisted multiple times in different states of working order and with or...

    https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/gas-powered_1/hk416-g36c-1911-pistol-with-grips_i106552 The seller hasn't bothered to point out who manufactured the GBBRs or the pistol. I assume the 416 is either GHK or VFC but a buyer shouldn't have to assume anything. The G36C has apparently shaken...

    I used a TM MP5K in woodland years ago. Its range was fine. Like Anonymoose's example, mine only fired at ~0.8J and it was perfectly competitive.

    You've got to love that amount of spend without actually specifying what was upgraded and if it's even worth your typical 60-70%. I think the seller's in for a rude awakening with the Predator unless he can find a buyer specifically after the handguard aesthetic. It had terrible timing as it...

    I would say yes as a gun but as an Ares product, I'd tread carefully. My example was a good one that didn't skip a beat but I'm aware that the brand has a questionable reliability record and with lots of proprietary parts, repairs can be a pain. Depending on the mags you use, you may need to...

    Similarly you can make a deliberately insulting lowball offer. He'll cry bloody murder but you can counter by saying because he didn't give much useful information about what he's selling, you're taking on the risk regardless without a clue of actual market value. I think Airsoft Cam Man...

    I don't understand why sellers like that think being lazy and cagey with details is a good thing. The more information you give upfront, the more leverage you have to see your asking price being met. The less information you give, the less certainty you give a buyer, giving them more room to...

    Semi Auto "SPAS 12"

    I like that very much!

    Have you looked at the Specna Arms SA-F04 series? They're M4-based and under 2kg.

    Tm type 89 aeg

    In that case you should be able to see ~70% as TM RIFs will usually find a home in the used market when they're in that good condition.

    All G&G: TR16 Carbine (TGR-016-CAR-BBB-NCM) Advanced series, CQBS Mini, CM16 R8-L

    If you can find a consensus or at least a somewhat consistent average price from 2 or 3 retailers that list it as out of stock, you can work from there.

    Compression shirts in airsoft

    I prefer a UBACS too for the hot weather. I only wear compression tops under a shirt when it's cold. Not wanting to diminish your experience being self conscious, only the most extraordinarily fit of players don't look like a hot mess in this weather. I don't think most players could care less...

    Tm type 89 aeg

    You're looking typically between 60 and 70% of retail though TM often pushes higher depending on rarity and how collectible it its. Can you take some clearer pictures (not blown out by the overhead light) of the full gun and close ups of scuffs, scratches and other cosmetic faults?

    https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/bone-yard/aug_i106299 The seller wants £110 for a boneyard two-tone/tri-tone but hasn't bothered to specify the brand and model of AUG replica (I'll assume it's the JG 0448A). If the single shot failure is due to the known problem with the electrical trigger...

    New to airsoft

    To clarify Punisher's comment about eye pro, you can get suitable eyewear for a very reasonable price if you're not borrowing a mask with rental gear. Under no circumstances should you buy eye pro from Ali Express or Temu. There are lots of fakes out there and products labelled for airsoft but...

    New to airsoft

    Welcome to the money pit! You'll find most airsofters to be very friendly and approachable. There is the odd bad apple and snooty clique group but most players are very welcoming. If you haven't already done so, I'd check the site rules before you to there and pay close attention to the...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Easily? Not in practice, they couldn't. You'd literally need to change UK law, superseding the Policing & Crime Act 2017 where the current 1.3J full auto limit is a matter of statute. After that, liability insurance policies will need to be underwritten again and premiums may go up as a result...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    It is but 16.2J in paintball isn't more than 10 times the perceived impact of 1.3J in airsoft. Paintballs have a larger surface area and they fragment on impact so a lot more energy is lost than with a BB hitting you.
