  1. Well that is about as practical as taking an AEG and having bloke (your valet) follow you around and load the stupid thing for you . Especially the longer ones that are meant to load like 8 or 9 shells into extended tubes. 'FireKnife'
  2. I will admit as awesome as this shotgun is for practial options Marui kind got it right with the gas M870. As funs as the APS is I would use it if airsoft had more 3-gun or PSG events . But then there is nothing more fun than watching someone come into a doorway, shotgun levelled in the 45 degree angle, fire a round and rack a spent shell into their own face . Though as for the competitive over combat well that is always going to be the way. Pistols are the same as I would happily run a Fobus 1911 mag pouch in a shoot event but in a woodland game I would just not trust it to do the sam
  3. We have a SLA system setup at work. Never kept to it and no-one cares as even then we are still faster than other companies. Seems to be people are expecting it nowadays which isn't on. Plus it helps if the company at the other end has the staff to deal with it. They probably see this as a general interest forum and think 'eh, who cares'. Well I *fruitcage*-ing care . 'FireKnife'
  4. You could have one on each leg side for different shells or one for shot and one for about to shoot? True though it is not amazing but loose shotgun shells does seem to be a way that people carry them in bulk when all they have to do is load, shoot and forget. But then that is like comparing speed / competitive shooting with combat shooting. In speed you are either static or only moving short distances so you can carry other options. In combat you need to move and not have pouches that can easily eject the contents off your mags everywhere. . 'FireKnife'
  5. It goes in the bin. As does the rest if the gun. Then you buy a better gun, a nice WE for half the price. But seriously I have no idea looks like it could be one of two or three springs. Don't tell me the gun doesn't have an exploded diagram in the manual? 'FireKnife'
  6. I think that is just a dump pouch or smilar, one of the zip open ones. One of the advantages of a real shotgun being you don't have to pick the shells back up . Have seen that shootout scene far too many times now, about the only 6 mins worth watching of that film (aside from the random punch up and odd five min shootout before this one). Also at 2.15 that is how most people seem to take hits in CQB around here about two seconds late . EDIT: Oh and 2.20 is the perfect time to watch for a reload of the shotgun. 'FireKnife'
  7. So finally managed to run my XDM for half of a series of night games. Ran like a beauty on Ultra and chronoed near the 275 mark on .2s in a slightly cold room. The sights made it very easy to hit with and the clean breaking trigger allowed for swift shots (few non-hit takes got two in the chest rather that one). Can't fault it and as mentioned elsewhere at some point I will put up a comparison between this and the M&P9. 'FireKnife'
  8. So took this to a game last night and it probably saw all of 8-10 magazines all on Ultra. It is a beast of a gun and I didn't have a single fault bar my own issue with double loading it after chronoing it. Chronoed at a healthy 270 on Ultra in a somewhat cold room. Can't fault it at all bar the rather small front sight for such a modern pistol (compared to the big *albatross* ones on the XDm). I will do a proper comparison review between the XDM and M&P9 at some point, a kind of polymer, striker, non-Glock debate . 'FireKnife'
  9. Is it me or is it getting rather dead on the 'idiot' forum? There seems to be little sales and conversation compared to what it used to be. Perhaps all the morons and children have gone over to the likes of FaceBook?

      Basically anything without paperwork. With the right paperwork/greased palms however it is easy enough to own even a full auto AK. But the illegal stuff mentioned were mostly pen guns and .22 NAAs, the typical assassination fare.

      Aha, that makes sense. We have a 'black market' in the UK but I don't think they use FB :P.

       

      As for ZeroIn it is bad during the holidays but it looks to really have died down now quite a bit.

  10. Your location is down as 'Scotland', summer was over months ago . Also perhaps a pic of me in action when it gets put up. 'FireKnife'
  11. I think that might be because of one simple thing. It is the only FNX out there so $225 is like it or lump it as you ain't getting another option. I agree it is rubbish how this has been handled and the price isn't really worth it from what I have seen but I suppose when you have the one design around you are going to get people that sadly just accept it and pay the frankly astronomical fees. Unless WE suddenly pop one out . 'FireKnife'
  12. If I recall the Marui was something like 50-60 wasn't it? But they may be making that 80 shots assumption on 144a which may provide more shots then the likes of Green while saying it can also take Green. Plus from what I have seen isn't an actual Marui gas tank for the M870 about the same price when bought in HK? Would need to see this in a non-retailer viewing first to see if it is worth it . 'FireKnife'
  13. Got's me a free copy of original AvP: Gold Edition from GOG.com. It is also DRM free, might be time to run it on the works laptop and frag each other.

  14. Eh, each to their own . I still find the kick coming out of my TM XDM on Ultra to be pretty hard to beat by any other gun (excluding of course using highly unsafe options or fully custom built guns with steel components that cost 5 times as much). Also had a shot of the M&P today on Ultra. The kick is there but it still feels to me more like a Glock on Green than the XDM or PX4. Though I must admit that may be to do with things like hand position and bore height over grip which can make a big difference. When I have given both the XDM and the M&P a shoot on Tuesday at a game I
  15. Well that does depend if you really need that performance from your pistol too . I go with Marui as they work for a pistol primary both indoors and out. Where it not the case and that could be said of KWA I would be running with them. However for just holster filling maybe the cheaper WE is better or the looks of the VFC appeal more? Perhaps Delta we just demand more from our pistols and are welcome to pay that extra? 'FireKnife'
  16. I think that last sentiment works for just about all their guns, the only ones I have seen people consistently say are better than the Marui version is the KWA/KSC HK45. 'FireKnife'
  17. For once Marui were last to the party so this time the mags are unique in their design. Also tried mine on Ultra last night, feels the temperature is about right so I am not worried about it going wrong. Still gives a very nice kick and can't wait to field it either this Sunday or Tuesday. 'FireKnife'
  18. Ah yes I did see that battery system, similar to some of the MP5s G&G also have. Well as they have it and I get a 5% discount that is about £208 all in which doesn't sound too bad to me. 'FireKnife'
  19. Well I am looking at the AKS-74U, personally my favourite design. However this is only a wishful purchase but it is the 'latest model' according to airsoft world and the quality does look good, have even held it in the store to see. Just now wondering what the FPS from one will be like........ 'FireKnife'
  20. Ok, simples question to the AK users out there. Are the G&G line of AKs any good for the price? 'FireKnife'
  21. True but it seems unlikely given that the M&P isn't really of the same contending level as say the Glock, 1911 or Hi-Capa platforms. It would be nice to see other options and I would welcome them but for a casual game it would seem about right, the trigger on mine is even enough and breaks in the right place for an airsoft striker. Though this does remind me now that I have moved to start looking at my ideas I had brewing that I couldn't do due to being in a place where there were few airsofters and many that didn't have a clue. 'FireKnife'
  22. I am assuming well, it is a TM after all. But I know this sounds bad as it means potential for breakages but it is good to hear someone out there is pushing it to the limit and making the most of it on harder gasses. I for one am too worried about breaking a £130 pistol that comes from a company with near zero original part support outside Japan and the odd popular models like the 1911 and Hi-Capa. 'FireKnife'
  23. I would say the slightly larger nozzle diameter might have something to say about that, given that the Hi-Capa is from the old 12mm nozzle days. But time will tell. It would be a great IDPA style alternative if we had an airsoft equivalent in the UK. As a proper IPSC style race gun though the trigger and a lack of spare parts let it down. 'FireKnife'
  24. Ah see I like plastic stock slides as then I find the gun functions all year round . But I have fired about 100-125 shots and the gun shows practically no signs of wear so it might be well built enough anyway for me to not worry, TMs have never exactly steered me wrong (famous last words).
