    Hpa tank pressure gauge

    Bit of a odd one. I have noticed that the pressure gauge on my hpa tank appears to be faulty. Its stuck at 3000psi and the needle never moves either direction. An example would have been after today where I put well over a 1000 rounds through my mtw. It started at 3000pai and finished just the...

    Vfc hk417 selector plate.

    I picked up a boneyard vfc hk417 and it needs a new selector plate. Looking about online. The original seems scarce and the places that do have it all want ridiculous amounts for shipping (some cases nearly £100) Can anyone recommend an alternative plate or know of any places selling one...

    starting hpa with some questions

    So for background. Many moons ago (2004-2008) i used to play that other sport of paintball and to be exact super air paintball. So i have a basic understanding of the tanks. But after much fettling, swearing, sulking and a few 'dont throw it at the wall' moments. I have given up on figuring out...

    Nozzle not retracting

    Looming for some advice. I bought a tm g3 that's slowly turning into a bit of a nightmare. The latest and hopefully last issue was found today when I went to test fire it. The nozzle appears to be fully forward across the feed tube amd not retracting at all when the gun cycles. My head says...

    1st world new gun problems

    So it's been a good week.  Just as I left for work last night my tm g3sg1 turned up that I bought from someone. Frustrating timing but that's how it goes. So this morning after 5 hours sleep (thanks neighbours) I rish tk the box like a kid at Christmas. Tear into it and look like a loving...

    Dmr sight set up.

    So I am venturing into the dmr world soon, having purchased a tm g3 sg1. I know the easiest way to get magnified sights on a aeg platform is something like the variable 1-4 type short dots etc. But I was thinking of running something more like a aimpoint clone on cantilever Mount with a flip...

    hpa aeg or gbbr

    So i'm in the process of saving for that next big purchase. I ended up down to Just my ICS Mars SBR for a while last year and it freaked me out only having one rif. I have my KWA erg back and working now which is great. But made me realise i probably want another rif either as a primary going...

    Running the London Marathon

    I hope this is ok. This year both myself and my partner are running the 2023 London Marathon for charity. Neither of us are in the greatest shape so its going to be a bot of an undertaking as you can imagine. And yes i have heard all the gags about 'it would be easier to drive it' 'London has...

    Rif from 'storage'.

    So nearly 10 months ago i sent my KWA ERG off to a tech to be serviced. Fast forward and various stories and scenarios later and i finally have the rif back at home. I sent it away wrapped in bubble wrap, protected with polystyrenne sheets to hold it in place and then wrapped securely in a...

    helmet mounted Howard leight ear pro

    So in an attempt to take a little pressure off of my head when wearing my ear pro and helmet, i found the combination was pressing on my temples and giving me head aches and making my ears hurt like hell from the head band being pressed down by the helmet. A few Google searches and armed with...

    Post Lockdown Maintenance.

    So with a large slice of luck we may one day be returning to our favourite sports and getting to sling some plastic once more. Bu here is the question. I haven't used any of my rifs since last feb/march time. They have been cleaned, dried and stored in a cupboard ever since. My gas pistols...

    Ear protection

    Yep you read that right. Ear pro not eye pro.    I was wondering what the best helmet mounted ear protection for us poor people is lol.  In context I have a fma exfil helmet and I was wanting to get some ear protection, preferably with a mic that could be mounted to the helmet.  I know...

    Those 1 in a million shots.

    Spent the day at battlestations activities today. More cqb than usual.  Thought I had prepared. One Tigris lower mask to compliment my ess ice glasses and baseball cap.  But sometimes, your just not meant to avoid that one shot. Today was that day for me.  Hit the tiny gap between the bottom...

    ICS Ble xae mag issue

    Hi folks, I have a ics ble xae gas pistol. Its about 3 months old and I cant figure out what is going on with the magazine for it. It doesn't seem to matter how much gas i put into the mag, it never seems to hold enough for more than 4 or max 5 shots before being empty. I have tried filling...

    Tears of the sun inspired loadout

    So over the past few months i have been trying to come up with an idea for a loadout that isn't just multicam/mtp. After a lot of thought i got it down to somewhere between a ww2 british airborn soldier, something vietnamish or the current thought of the fairly nice looking get up worn by the...

I dont know how long they had been sat for before i bought them. But after getting them home i tried to...

    Ics ape shooting issues

    I picked up a 2nd hand ics ape a month or so ago. It had just been fitted with a new hop unit and hop bucking.  Last game day it shot flawlessly though it does seem to struggle a little with the .28 bb’s. (Can’t seem to get the hop dialled in just right. It’s either not enough and they dip or...

    Grenades. And bang for your buck.

    So I was thinking about the pyros we use in game.  Now me, I'm an all round player, sometimes I'm on the tip of the spear, others I'm plodding along the rear. But I do tend to enjoy a good flash bang (ooooerrr matron). but that got me thinking.  Over the year I probably throw a good 100+...
