What're the best .30 to .36s that one can buy in the UK? I'd quite like to spend around £3-6 per 1000 but am happy to buy in large quantities.

I highly rate RWA Airsoft Surgeon 0.3g BBs.

Has anyone purchased from a company called ur-tactical.com? www.ur-tactical.com I think they are Hong Kong based, and sell the OPS (UR tactical) range of clothing and kit. This is the same kit as sold by Hueys. I assume that Hong Kong is the main supplier, and Hueys is the UK retailer (whose do not have much stock and charge more for it). (unable to make red)

FPS is always gonna differ slightly for every gun, they aren't consistent to an exact velocity all the time.

and yes Jedi you're correct

Need to spray an alloy CASV front end black, is Krylon the best option? Or is there another, more hardwearing paint which is readily available and would look right?

Krylon should be fine as long as the current finish is sound. If not, rub it down to bare metal then primer and matt black car paint from Halfords.

Hi everyone, i am using the ultimate cylinder head and ultimate piston and ultimate piston head in the g&g standard cylinder. Now when i fire, it doesnt force the bb out of the barrel. I dont have anything covering the top hole on the cylinder so could that be the reason why? Any solutions? Do i have to get another cylinder?

I'm thinking about getting a tracer silencer but not sure if i should get a rechargeable one or one that takes throw away batteries.

How long do the batteries last on a non rechargeable one?

Just get the Marui tracer its better than all the others except the xcortech x3300w and thats expensive. Just use rechargeable batteries.

Get the ASG B&T one. It's exceptionally good and much cheaper than the Marui one. I takes standard batteries so just buy a set of rechargeables from Maplin and Bob's your uncle.

The asg one is ok but still think the marui one is better the bbs seem to be brighter. But each to there own.

They'll definitely last a full game day maybe more if you remember to turn it off at the end of the day!

Just how bright do they need to be though? My ASG one is plenty bright enough to be seen in normal ambient light (certainly bright enough to give away your position in the dark) I can't honestly see any need for it to be any brighter!

Has anyone tried the tracer hop up units?

As I said each to there own. I personally like the light show you get with tracers and want the bbs to glow as bright as possible. If that doesnt interest you then the asg is a good little unit certainly works as well as if not better than the madbull and g&g units. I use an xcortech but unless you want all the extra features its an unnecessary expense and eats batteries at a fair old rate.

TM tracer keeps up with high ROF a bit better, I tried an ASG & Madbull one and found they missed a beat or two.

Also found only the TM and Xcortech are self-contained well enough to not see the strobe go off when facing it (not a big issue when the point of a tracer is to make your shots visible, but it does give a flashing beacon of exactly where the end of your gun (and you) are). I've managed to pick out people firing them from dark rooms much better due to this effect.

I tried the Madbull Ultimate hop-up unit with the tracer added, it works but is far dimmer than the end of barrel ones if you only fire semi and if you have not fired for a while the first 1 or 2 BBs will not be charged at all. The permanent wiring also makes stripping the gun down more of a fiddle if rear wired. and will continuously drain the battery unless you fit a switch to the wiring.
