  1. Having held the tan one and fired it I am still tempted by the black one but also know that the £135 some places are asking could also get me a Marui which feels nicer overall . 'FireKnife'
  2. Must admit, the HK45 and USPc by TM are the only thing keeping me away from running my 1911s. 1911s have become the outdoor guns, the HK pair are for indoors . 'FireKnife'
  3. Dang, poor dog. Only one site I know has a resident pooch and it stays firmly in the safe zone, nestled away in the on site shop / shack where it is 99.9999999% safe (as you never really know but still). Anyway I just realised I was at a game last weekend and not one camera was out, I feel appalled to know that there was a chance but alas no pictures were taken of me . Must remedy this as fast as possible. 'FireKnife'
  4. Because incase you ever forgot who made the guns design, those grips . Still nicer looking than my bone stock TMs but then mine are for shooting well and never looking good . 'FireKnife'
  5. This does seem a bit odd since the one I got from Wolf had the usual trades and everything. Maybe it is to keep someone happy or they used a different import method that required modification for the gun? Either way has anyone bought one from them and can confirm? The trades on the TM USPc are so nice it would be a shame to see them carved off for some reason. 'FireKnife'
  6. The P226 and XDM are much the same, in RS you need to retract the slide to a point but on the Marui it just turns as normal. At least on the HK45 and USPc you have a point in the slide that you have to push it to in order to strip it 'FireKnife'
  7. Ok got a chance to play with my USPc last night and here are my findings: - Decocker is light but takes a good bit of travel to work so feels about right. - Slide feels a touch brittle compared to other TMs but the rear of the slide feels as solid as possible. - Not a huge range but spot on for the Lower FPS. - Firing it on 144a is like a Detonics on Green, nice and snappy but no huge levels of kick. - Finish and looks are typical spot on TM. All in all I would say a 9/10 generally but a 8/10 compared to other TMs. Still just so glad to have a TM USPc at last. And agreed the little
  8. It can also be the cheap metal nozzles on GG cans. I find that the plastic nozzles on some cans fills better in my Maruis but the WE and HFCS guns I had worked better on the metal nozzles 'FireKnife'
  9. I will be honest, I have only seen that happen on a few guns and said models were known for issues. But on TMs, KWAs, KSCs, WAs, some WEs, some Army's and many others like HFC, KJ and the even lesser clone makes have lasted with the standard cast parts. Maybe it depends on how they are run and treated too, but I have only seen issues in issue prone guns with the odd exception that you can't really blame on anything other than just lack of luck in getting a mediocre part. 'FireKnife'
  10. Had a feeling there was something like that behind it. Plus agreed, even the material cost alone would probably double that of a TM. Given full steel guns hit upwards of £1000 I could easily believe it. 'FireKnife'
  11. Having had my TM XDM for a good 9 months of decent use I can't say I have seen a single bit of part wear. Everything in it looks fine and like it will last. Running it straight on Green is going to cause issues though as it has a larger cylinder, meaning it will have a bigger effect on the parts as it rocks back and forth. On Ultra, and not firing it in a very warm room, it is chugging along fine. Had an issue with the front sight popping out but that has happened in other designs that use the little cross piece holding the site to the slide. 'FireKnife'
  12. That building looks very familiar . Reminds me that I need to get to a game myself in this area soon enough. 'FireKnife'
  13. Very odd, I would say check the structure that holds the hop rubber and wheel is nice and tight. That or open it up and remove any excess lube in the area. It needs to be stiff but still able to move. 'FireKnife'
  14. Mmmm, shiny...... 'FireKnife'
  15. Marui and falling for it: 'FireKnife'
  16. I must admit, after over two months of owning the HK45, when I go to my pistol cupboard and go to take one of my moderns out the HK usually gets first pick. I keep finding new things to like about it, plus the combo DA/SA and SAO is great as it allows me to have a gun that works in SA but allows me to explain DA/SA to others that don't know yet . Plus on the small backstrap it fits far too well for such an ugly grip. 'FireKnife'
  17. You would be surprised how many chicks like guns. But maybe it is a test to see if it still works like those countless YT videos of Glocks firing after basically being *suitcase* on and then left for it to dry and cake on? 'FireKnife'
  18. No Tokyo Marui, I don't want your shiny, plastic revolver that weighs all of 400g, I like many others, want to see you release a USP Compact!!!

      645g for the 6", but why are they plastering it around as if it were new? They've made the "new" v-notch hop stainless Pythons since like 2010.

      Also shame on you for getting me excited for nothing.

  19. Happy First Annual Pointless Spending Day, can't wait for the next one to come round!

  20. WE Makarov in Black, why you no in stock in UK shops!!!!!

  21. So guys, Airsoft Zone, meh or good? They have the WE Mak in stock.

      Awesome, will get my pistol ordered then when I next get paid :P.

  22. The combat gun point would be about it featuring in Metal Gear Solid 3 as the main protagonists go to gun but it has a bright, 'in the white' slide sides and controls. These are not good for a military combat gun as you would find black / green / tan better. But it is for MGS so makes sense in their world . 'FireKnife'
  23. Well that and the smaller piston space. It really can be a tank though, especially on the TM 40rd magazines . 'FireKnife'
  24. Anybody here from South Thanet? You know who to vote for:

  25. Sums up just about every 'but why' argument for me. That is the way you play, awesome, keep playing that way at your site with your friends and have fun. As for me the bang kill rule is silly but then I think some places would do better to teach some players a little trigger discipline along with actually taking single hits, not needing three or four to put them out. Maybe in said posters area it is very different? But that works for them. 'FireKnife'
