  1. for an R-hop do I want a hard or soft hop rubber? I thought hard so it seals better

      You want whatever rubber seals round your air nozzle the best. Thats all that matters

      ^ This. usually the softer ones seal better in the hop unit. usually.

  2. anyone know where that letter from the home secretary saying they'd help us out with a defense against the VCRA is?

      Heh. I thought it might be rearing it's ugly head again. I would have thought it would be buried somewhere deep in the VCRA sub forum somewhere. Not obvious on my quick look though.

      Probably archived by now, any thread more than a couple of years is like that. Not sure how you search the archive, but it's all still there.

  3. what are KWC 1911s like?

    1. NonEx

      NonEx

      Pretty damn awesome all things considered. Try one out :D

      It's fun, feels, looks and sounds good and shoots decent!

  4. That's logical, surely? Once you've racked the gun you've already loaded the BBs, so moving the switch just tells it how many to load on the next racking of the action?
  5. KJW make a black finish 1911?? I want one of those with CO2 power but I could only find MEUs...
  6. When my friend's broke I didn't even think to try to fix it, nice idea! Keep us posted on whether it holds up. Did you check your nozzle guides?
  7. Like this thing? Yeah I sort of do want that...
  8. Gah, don't say that. I'm getting closer and closer to buying one D: This is the one I want, such a lovely old school gun.
  9. My friend broke two before he got sick of it and sold the gun. From what I can gather, it might be caused by the nozzle guides not being up to scratch and allowing the nozzle to move side to side and/or rotate, causing it to hit the feed lips or another part (can't quite remember what's in there...) and break.
  10. Since you have the experience and seem to have your MP5 running well, you should do a mini write up of the various upgrade parts and whether they're worth it or not would help people who still think that these are useless wall hangers. There is some info I remember you posted but I think it's buried in a news thread somewhere. Also I forgot to ask, what do you think of: 1. The hop-up in these 2. The mags, I hear people complaining about their construction
  11. Yep, agreed haha. Seemed to vent a fair bit but the rate of fire held up just fine! How's your VFC MP5? I'm increasingly tempted by one...
  12. My flatmate has one and I love it, I'm constantly in his room playing with it... I'll echo what you said about the selector being too small though, I quite agree. Grip could also be better, but hey it's an AR-15 standard one right? Millions of aftermarket grips to choose from. His one is rock solid in every respect though. We have been racking and HK slapping it enthusiastically since he got it a month or two ago and the charging handle's still going, however Hephaestus are making an aluminium one. Also my friend filed down what look like mould flashing blobs on the mag and now it
  13. Looks like VFC are slowly learning...
  14. Ah so you guys adjusted the design? That's cool
  15. lost the spring from inside the follower on my 1911 mag. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

    1. Stuey

      Stuey

      oooh good idea sir! thanks :D will give that a go

    2. Stuey

      Stuey

      heh, I found it *on my keyboard* - what are the chances?

    3. kenxin

      kenxin

      I would look there for at least 1 kwa hop ball bearing and 1 marui follower spring, but I'm afraid monsters will pop out if I turn that keyboard upside down.

  16. love ordering from KWA, they're so nice ^.^

  17. Just bought out the last of firesupport's Skorpion mags >:D

  18. Didn't snoopy have a load of nozzles break not because of the air bubble? Possibly a design issue elsewhere
  19. It is pretty loud. Made my ears ring from firing a mag next to my ear to set the hop.
  20. is there an upgraded gas router for the TM M1911?

    1. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      Huh, I could have sworn they did. Though why not try shimming the ones you have with the LPE shims?

    2. hwagan

      Guarder do one, but whether it's any better than stock I can't say.

    3. Stuey

      Stuey

      Might get a Guarder one and a Nine Ball one (see if I can mod it in)...

  21. But in theory it's not a replica of any real gun, no. Obviously takes cues from contemporary firearm design though. I would say it's more GHK saying 'screw copying an existing gun' and creating what people want - a light, short, simple, accurate carbine that shoots well and kicks hard. ^^ This too. In theory they take WA-spec GBB M4 mags, I hear in practise the G5 magwell is wider than some M4s and they can fall out. Tbh though, you wouldn't want to, the G5 mags really are excellent! Hnnng really want one.
  22. Sounds good, might have to try an upgrade hop rubber because the performance with the stock one is leaving me distinctly lukewarm. Will definitely give the ball bearing a go though, very cheap to try! Need some help here guys! Was fiddling with my MP7 today and the bolt wouldn't return to battery properly, eventually found this in my trigger mechanism: Now it looks like part 122, the rubber recoil buffer. But there's still a rubber part where 122 should be and the gun works as it's always done - I'm confused!
  23. Try warning the FAA before you test fire it... But seriously won't that get you like 600 fps? Oh I see - is that bearing really 4 mm? The dent on mine is tiny. But I think I see how your setup's working...are you still using the plastic plunger thing to push down on the bearing? (part 16 for clarity)
  24. It's cool, I was very curious! So 370, bit higher than we're allowed in the UK...thought so. Not massively so though. Looking forward to pics immensely! The 190 mm barrel is almost the same as stock, right?
