ASPUK - bless their little hearts - just resell AirsoftPro parts for the most part. Go to AirsoftPro.cz and get them from there if you can. Fitting out a BASR is basically the easiest teching in airsoft so I'd certainly give it a crack for yourself if you're patient and know how to watch a YouTube video. I wouldn't say their barrels are better than PDI or EdGI but then I've never owned one so that opinion counts for about jack all.

The AirsoftPro V2 trigger is pretty good. I've owned both the V1 and V2 and they're pretty great. This is a region for doing your own research in though because knowing how the VSR functions and what you can do to correct errors with it really should be the minimum if you're semi-serious about sniping. The VSR is the most well documented airsoft sniper rifle you can buy and there's a limitless amount of information available on it both here and on http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/

Look into the Mancraft SDiK as well. A lot of people are moving away from spring to CO2 and HPA this year (judging from these forums and others).

i was looking at the mancraft sdik, but i'm not sure if i would then have to get other upgrades. what kind of upgrades would you still recommend? the trigger, a barrel, bucking rubber and other things? and the mancraft shoots well then?

 
Use the search on here and Google - sorry, but it's been asked and answered loads. The TM VSR is basically the most well documented airsoft gun ever made. Feel free to ask any questions not already covered, but those two have been extensively.

​anyone had issues with Warriors own glove brand?, I need a new pair of gloves

​Do they match Mechanix sizes, as in L in one is same as L in another or do they differ?

​thanks in advance

 
Would type in red, but doesn't give me a selection to do so on mobile:

Any known green gasse's that offer a lower FPS than say Abbey green(144a)? Gun chroned at ~330 FPS but main site I'm testing it at will have a 294 limit?

Got a couple outdoor games booked where that FPS is fine, but I know I could get 3 games a weekend in if needs be if I have a way to drop to that FPS easily. Don't want to fit a limited as I'm trying to review/skirmish how it would be out the box for work.

as i have forgotten, can you run TM EBB guns with Li-Pos? I was thinking the 7.4 or whatever from that website, can't remember the name but i remember them being really good from my experience.

also, anyone had any experience with the fire support upgrade service? do the guns still have that "magic" after the people have been messing about with the gears (basically do they still shoot nicely?)

thanks

 
OK, ignore last question, i have a few more though, if you can answer any of them please do, all help is appreciated

1) I want to go a bit more expensive than a CM16, was looking at an ICS transform4 (i like the keymod etc)

What are people's opinions on these? have read around a bit and they seem pretty good quality and nice guns, so I was thinking this would be a decent workhorse kind of gun

2) Upgrades, If I were to get this gun, how could I upgrade it to shoot accurately. What i was thinking was

1- LiPo for faster rof and snappier trigger, plus LiPo's are all I have used and seemed really good

2- PDI tightbore barrel, I know that 6.01 is a bit extreme, was thinking 6.05? is this sensible or not at all. Not really sure what it comes with, but i hear PDI is still the best barrels (albeit expensive)

3- laylax purple bucking - i hear this is the best bucking, and its a tenner so if it increases the accuracy even a small bit it would be good.

I want a gun that can shoot TM kind of range at around 340-350 FPS but not more, and will be very accurate. fine if it shoots a bit less than TM, i had a G&G cm16 before and was fine with that

TL;DR

is the transform4 a good gun, and is upgrade 2 + 3 good. whilst we are at it what other upgrades should i do (barring gearbox, not too worried until that gives up, as long as the ics components are decent which i hear they are)

cheers, and sorry for the spam, i try and keep it down lol

 
i have the CXP-UK1, standard as is, run on 7.4 Lipo and love it! (same with me, first AEG, first battery type)

cant say any more than that to be honest, no need to upgrade it as perfectly fine, shoots around 320/330 depending where its chrono'd :) . One day I will try heavier bb's but still got several thousand to get through....

If you do get one, and carry out any upgrades, keep me posted :)

one day I will tweak, but so far it only has a torch and foregrip...all I need :)

yeah i will upgrade if i do get it, keep in mind i always change my mind but i like the price and the supposed quality. i'm guessing the body is polymer? is it solid?

Doesn't need any upgrades just change battery connections to deans.
No point upgrading a gun unless you're replacing something that broke.

 
so no upgrades? i would have thought a tightbore and purple bucking would be a good idea?

 
mine is the 'metal' body, got it from firesupport, Trig used his ICS Jedi trick on me.....but i did like the look of it when i held it in my arms compared to others in my budget, it was different :)

ok, so only mod I have is that it has deans connectors, other than that, its not been touched :)

well the point is you can answer 1 of the questions. i'm not gonna ask 1 out of the 3 questions if i have 3 questions, but the 3 questions aren't enough to open a new thread. idea was to answer 1 of the so questions or whatever.

@djben9, that is the £260 gun or whatever? if so, it shoot nicely? seems like the gun to get at the moment, good price, good build and good reviews so far

Inner barrel is about 6.04 and quite good for a stock barrel. PDI is better but performance gain is negligible and really not worth the cost.Prommy purple is ok but I wouldn't replace the stock bucking until it dies as they perform well enough.

Tightbore does not mean better.

 
alright, so basically, change to deans (will look that up), and don't touch the internals apart from that. thanks for the help

yeah, that's the one, but if anyone asks, like the wife, it was £130....

Firesupport / ICS code ICS-264

Also got 2 lipos, charger from them as well as a front grip and some mid caps :)

you cant go wrong really, but its your decision at the end of the day. I did think about getting the longer one, tweaking and sniping but that was before I knew a little more than I do now :)

Ok, not to sound a dick but what do you want to run? is it HPA? is it a recoil AEG? is it a decent AEG? I know you are young so it is all quite exciting, but work out what you want from a gun.

In answer to this question and probably most others you ask..... buy a Krytac from their Trident range, either Mk1 or Mk2 will be amazing. You won't need to upgrade as the improvements will not outweigh the cost.

They will match a TM for range/accuracy if not beat it. They cost a shed load less. They are a world better than an ICS. Only reason not to buy one is if going HPA.... and then you'd not want a TM either...... or would you.....

Reason for having a Krytac/TM if going HPA would be the hop.... and I'd still go Krytac. But seriously if going HPA buy a GBBR and convert it if you want recoil, or buy a donor AEG that looks ace on the outside and cheap as chips inside if buying an AEG to HPA.
