Righty - The actual review will be up this evening when i'm home from work, along with lots of nice pictures for you all to stare at. This 'Pre-review' is mainly here to give everyone a quick breakdown of the features of the gun, and for anybody to pose any questions they'd like to see answered this evening. So... Where am and how many money is? I purchased mine from Wolf Armouries - Cost me £399.99. Wolf are so far the only UK retailer i've found to stock these, although WGC and Redwolf and the like all seem to have them in stock. As a bit of a side note, i was VERY sceptical about

As stated, mod's don't get paid, and they do a decent job - They're all only human, and as such, they're all going to make the occasional fufu. Everyone's affected by their opinion of people, and the only way you're going to get standardised moderation is by paying people money, and writing them a detailed manual. It's a free forum, full of craploads of useful information, nice people, and it's very well run from what i see. 98% of the time everyone gets along, but there's always going to be arguements and the like.. It's a minor nuisance. Kind of like Megan Fox messing with your sh:t, an

That was the biggest problem i had with mine... The biggest i could fit was an 8.4 700MaH (back in the days before NimH)... Still, i loved it so much i was more than glad to carry around 4 spares. Get some pictures up once it's metalised! I think i might try searching for one come payday..

I don't think there's such thing as a flawless airsoft gun - There's always the odd minor niggle on anything, but from what i gather, KA seem to be keeping those niggles to a minimum. Is the non-vented motor baseplate a standard on all KA AR's, or is it just the sniper rifles? I'm quite the trigger happy type, so i don't want to be melting the pistol grip...

Great reviews and info all round folks - I was a little sceptical about King Arms at first, as i haven't read up that much on their internals. Definitely makes me feel a lot better about getting me a VLTOR V.I.S

Car-15... WANT. MORE. THAN. CAKE. I used to have one 3 or so years ago, and i miss it like a dead relative... Gah. Maglite, i'm sure you won't, but don't put anything on that other than a para-cord sling... you lucky git

Yeah, it'd be nice if it was a select fire pistol to CHOSE to go fully auto rather than the gun deciding to do so itself. I've found in room temperatures of around 20-25 degrees celsius, the full auto issue won't occur unless you fire EXTREMELY quickly, or if there's very little gas in the mag. I've only had it happen after lots of rapid firing or in the freezing cold though, so it's not a huge issue. Definitely gonna try and get a TM hop unit in there.

I'm definitely planning on investing in a TM outer barrel/hop set - I think the biggest flaw of the gun is the accuracy. Other than that it's a perfectly good M9, although i'd say it's really more for the summer. I haven't had any problems with magazine fitting or any kind of slide grinding, mine is all very smooth - maybe something to do with the extended slide weighing down a little more on the rails? As for the full auto, that's exactly the problem i had - I'm guessing it's something to do with the metal conducting the cold better and therefore freezing the gas quicker. Damn you, briti

Bit of a post-skirmish update. The hop unit seems to have worn in now, so glue the grub screw and the accuracy isn't too bad. Similar to the WE range of colts, but not quite as consistent. Perfectly adequate though. HOWEVER. This gun CAN NOT COPE with the winter. At all. Previous use in cold weather was usually straight after getting out of the car, which i should have taken into account. Today, on the other hand, i drew the M9 2 hours into the day after i ran dry in my primary. One single shot, a quick burst of 5 fully automatic shots (none of which fired BB's due to the slide

Sorry, forgot to mention that - It doesn't have a functional de-cocker. The safety catch disengages the trigger, so when the safety is on and the trigger is pulled it'll move as normal, but with no connection to the hammer. @Darklite: You've just made my day, thanks for the info!

The WE Beretta M9 As the topic suggests, this is my review of the WE M9. Overview, History, that kinda stuff... So, as we all know, the M9 is the militarised version of the Beretta M92F 9mm Semi-Automatic Double Action Pistol. Accepted as the standard US service pistol some time in the 80's, the weapon is a 9mm pistol. 15 9mm rounds in the magazine, double or single action, and usually seen in the hands of good ol' Bruce Willis. It's used by many many people worldwide, be it police forces, military or civilian. It's a hollywood favourite, and has spawned many a clone and copy. The re

That's an awesome looking grenadier style M4 - Looks very realistic. Nice one

@ Jonny - Gotta be one of the nicest berettas i've seen, awesome photos 'n all. Here's my meagre offering... Apologies for the photos, they're bits i've cut out of larger pictures involving other stuff. Tis a WE M92, the hopup is terrible unfortunately, and it has a tendency to cool down on the last few shots if the mag isn't fully charged with gas. Looks nice, built very well and sounds amazing though. *edit* Forgot to mention - Just under the RH side of the slide, where it should say 'Read Manual Before use', it actually says 'Read Meanal before use'. Hilarity.

Finally got round to some half decent pics of mine - Dboys M4RASII, and G&P M733.

Thanks for all the kind words guys Quick update on how it's doing while i'm here - It's been to 2 skirmishes now - Took it to a very, VERY intense game last sunday, another 4000 rounds through it, and it's still flawless. Not a scratch on it, despite the usual abuse, and no gearbox faults whatsoever, even minor. One game was restricted to semi automatic only, and through the course of 6 130 round magazines of very rapid semi-auto firing, it didn't lock up once. It's also worn in a little better now and the accuracy once the hop is set properly is excellent for such a short barreled rifle

I'd break my right hand wrist for one of those.

The only place i know of with them in stock (well, last time i checked) is Airsoft Armoury. Website is www.airsoftarmoury.co.uk - I'm sure they'll ship to Argentina, and the customer service is brilliant. Give 'em a call or an email

Jack man, you sound like an ultimate n00b when you type on the internet, lol

Here's mine... This is the 2nd, and favourite - The picture really doesn't do it justice down to the angle and the rubbish camera, but it's fantastic in person. It's mainly as a result of starship troopers, because it'll remind me of what a numpty i was one day, and because it's epic badass. This is the first tat i had - Again, the angle makes them look 'bent', but i assure you they're not. The 'Love/Hate' thing is a bit cliche i guess, but there's a lot of personal symbolism to me.

Thanks buddy But yep, it's definitely a hell of an AEG. Took it to another game today - 4000 rounds through it, didn't skip a beat. Survived heavy rain, and it still looks brand new. Not to mention one guy in a corrguated bunker on the other end described hearing the RoF dinging off the metal as 'Trouser changingly terrifying'.

Gah, i feel i'm not doing all mine justice thanks to the crappy phone camera... Methinks the work camera may be coming home for the weekend.

I second the above statement. Win detector overload, all 4 of those rifles look the nuts tomster!

blabla - Loving the 609, that looks fantastic - the foregrip looks great, very 'I'm a navy seal, put a god-damn foregrip on my gun you *badgeress*'... *edit* - I love my new gun so much i'd forgotten i'd already posted pictures of it!

Just a quick few points on retailers i've used, and what they're good and bad for. Airsoft Armoury - Fantastic customer service, fantastic walk in shop. The website is inaccurate with stock levels and lacking a lot of accessories they stock, but a quick phonecall will solve those problems. They're brilliant for purchasing RIF's, and will often offer a discount for larger purchases. My personal favourite place to buy anything airsoft. They're also very good for acquiring difficult to find items, and are more than happy to offer advice and information free of charge. They seem to specialise

The Skirmish Report Right, just got back from a day at Tech Brigade - Certainly not the most fun sunday i've had, but that's a different story for a different forum. You fine people probably want to know how the seemingly wonderful M733 performs in actual fake battle. Well, frankly, it performs wonderfully. I can't really be *froitcagio* to do a proper paragraph stylee in depth run down here, as i'm feeling quite run down myself. So, here's some bullet points. - The gun handles like an absolute dream. In most cases, i wouldn't be found dead without a vertical foregrip on my weap
