  1. Well, that's Tim for you. He's only paid to look good on camera.

     

    He can't even get that right ;).

     

    However I was tempted by this but I am not so sure now the rate reducer is bogus. Might as well wait for the PM and buy a pair of them instead.

  2. I must admit that didn't put me in good stead either.

     

    However it is now fixed, working and has fired a good few shots (up near the 1000 mark by my last guess, both dry and not) and seems to be ok.

     

    Will have to see how it goes but on 144a it still does well and the light slide helps as it runs equally as well in the cold. Still trying to sell it though as I have too many pistols.

  3. Nope, it is a blued finish over a silver paint base.

     

    It means that when it 'wears' it looks realistic but it is still plastic overall for the base material, has to be given that Maruzen pistols are like TMs and have very specific guidelines on what can be metal / plastic.

     

    Still it is a bloody nice finish I must say.

  4. You would think on an expensive metal kit they would have been able to spell Alexandria right with no 'F' in it :P.

     

    Though the PP is nice, not a golden gun fan myself but I wouldn't have minded a PP kit (or a proper airsoft PPK but that is different).

  5. Really, will it be enough?

     

    Personally I have had some bad pistols but this just seems to be going far too far. How much was said plate extra (lets ignore the fact you got it for almost half price) on top of the gun which ideally it should have come with?

  6. There are quality 0.12g bb's out there, 

     

    I find that quality or not the less dense material can either lead to people not feeling glancing hits (if they are caught by the edge of the spray) or still have the potential to shatter more so than a .2 or .25.

     

    However it would be good to see it tested and see how it works. The comments I have made about .12s are from a variety including some of the better ones that still had issues.

  7. Actually it isn't bad at all.

     

    I mean the worn edges help but in the case of the hanguard it can get too warm if used under sustained fire, could warp and even burn depending on the application just would have to be something specific. Have never been a huge fan of artificial weathering and some guns just need to be played with than played around with but as it stands it looks used and better than it probably did when brand new from an objective standpoint.

  8. Shame Airsoft World doesn't have any spare mags in. They almost got me! 

     

    Don't do it, think of the children, won't somebody please think of the children!?

     

    Plus I am tempted to go and fondle the shop model that they have so you might be getting the one I stroked and nobody wants anything I have stroked ;).

  9. It could but you have missed out one key fact.

     

    The weight of a .12g means they can shatter a lot, lot easier and that is not good for the likes of mesh users.

     

    In fact many are made from such poor material that sites ban them in case of shatter. While it is a sound enough idea it might be dangerous.

     

    Also another thing, the lighter weight can lead to less felt hits. It is all well and good when you get a good 5 pellets hit on someone but if one or two clip a plate carrier or pouch at speed they are probably not even going to be noticed.

  10. I have a feeling I will stick to the Breacher, easier to run in the places I play plus I don't really trust the average airsofter to not makign something of the fact I am using a scattergun powered by CO2, even if it is low 200fps if possible.

     

    TM tri-shot for me but I am sure if ever 3-gun airsoft or PSG airsoft was more popular I might try it. Still trying to sort the idea of doing pistol competitions round here and that is tough enough as most of it is general interest but nothing solid.

  11. That for me just sounds like it is tipping the fun / useable scales too much.

     

    I am a huge fan of playing with something different. Hell if I get the Breacher I am so playing woodland with it one day but this to me feels a bit too much in the realism over function stakes.

     

    Saying that it can also depend on the site. I find many sites in the UK that are indoors like to get you out of the game zone / to the next game point ASAP once the game is over, that means a lap to pick up wads wouldn't work as well.

     

    For me I think based on limitations it would be best to stick to gas pistols and TM shotguns. Still good to see someone getting a good use out of one of these.

  12. Does your internet provider not give you an allocation of hosting space? I use my talk talk/tiscali allocation for all my pics and it's free, I've quite a few uploaded, search your providers website, all you need is a FTP client for uploading, I think using web based hosting sites is daft  when most ISP do have space for you?

     

    I am at work at the moment and using the hosting space is blocked as it is meant for work purposes, hence why I said I will do it later as web hosting is being a jebend and at home I don't have to worry about it ;).

  13. Now whos off topic? :P

     

    He might implode, be careful :P.

     

    However it is down to users to divert topics back as they see fit. If you want to go to a place with more specific topics that people stick rigirously too then I am sure they exist. Here it is a mish-mash of things but for many that is how we like it, makes it easier to chat rather than sticking to 'this is a topic about this gun, you will only talk about this gun, nothing else'. In fact if that was the case would we then not end up with too many topics open in case someone wnated to talk about something else. Swings both ways and seems to be best as it is :D.

     

    As for the APS is it still rather expensive to run in general? I have noticed that the cost of shells, wads and the rest of it still seems to really limit this gun not just in terms of it being a shell ejector but also in reloading the thing. For me I like fun that isn't expensive or too impractical and I just feel this falls out of that category if it is still as expensive to work as it seemed in the news thread :).

  14. WA Wilson Tactical Elite / Combat.

    Super rare afaik, never found another owner of one...

     

    I think that can be said of most WAs given they are made in limited batches etc. I have seen only one other of those and that was ages ago. Still at some point I wouldn't mind owning a WA 1911 but as I already have all the parts and setups for my TMs it feels a touch redundant aside from having it as a display piece.

     

    Also there would be a picture of my 1911s here but alas my usual image hosting in being a sod. Will put them up later on.
