    Mine arrived today. Added the angry gun shell caddy and the G&P mag tube extension for looks. Really like it but with green gas I was lucky to get three shells out of it. I have some 144a on the way but I couldn't wait to play with the new toy. Love the 6 BB's feature but will probably use it in 3 shot mode most of the time to extend the ammo. Now; just need the extra extra shells to arrive now. ;)

    3 shells? Sounds like you didn't fill the gas tank to the brim. Mine takes an inordinate amount of time to fill, and lasted a half-day's gaming without needing refilling. 7x shells each game, 5 games total, and still loads of gas in it.

  2. Picked one of these up last weekend, and finally got out to use it yesterday evening. To say I was impressed does not even come close to describe the feeling using this gun.

     

    On a single fill the tank lasted all day, and I was using TM + clone shells; no misfeeds or anything unusual. Reloading I found to be a little slow (same as the tri-shots), but the shooting of it was more than enough to make up for it.

     

    I started out on six shot, but reverted to 3 as I was having to change shells a little too often. The noise was intimidating enough for people not to come down the corridor, and peoples reactions were priceless upon getting hit by it - insanely fun!

  3. Either you're here for the community, in which case you post, or you're here just to sell stuff in which case you don't bother.

     

    I think that's the point of the limit, and it does work. Arnies is not a Sales website by design, and instead has it tacked on. It is a community driven discussion forum, and although that is waning I would agree with an earlier poster...would you rather see it die a death after a glorious fire, or limp on as a mutated shell of its former self. I definitely sit firmly in the former's camp.

  4. What's nice about the 100 posts is that when done right, you forget about trying to get your post count up, and instead just immerse yourself into the community. As this happens you get a sense of those in the community, and they get a sense of you.

     

    That sort of thing is invaluable when sending expensive products around the world, particularly where money is ridiculously hard to get out of people if anything went wrong.

     

    I do see the point Skarclaw is making - does that put people off becoming a member of the community? I don't think so. Personally, from all the forums I'm on, I think that it's just the way it is...forums are dying (said in best '2012' voice :D). People seem to be favouring the more instant methods of communication as opposed to the more in-line side of the forum. Tis a shame, but things like IM groups are drastically making smaller forums redundant. I think places like this still have their merit, but it just means that traffic will reduce.

  5. Urgh. The non-railed 92-series is still the sexiest handgun in the world, IMO. A TM M9A1 in the Shooters Design non-railed kit is a dream gun of mine.

    Amen.

     

    I just can't justify the price tag...even though I've spent more for things I want less, which is annoying. I hate how my brain works.

  6. Still in two minds about the magpul fore-end. I love the look, but not sure if I even have the skills to modify it to fit! 

     

    I don't suppose anyone who's already done it would be willing to write up a guide, including whatever takedown of the 870 is required?  

    One of the lads has provided pretty good instructions in response to my query for how to do it...back a couple of pages, but definitely makes sense. I'm in the same boat as you though...want the look, not sure if I have the patience/skill :D

  7. Its too cold for 144a.. That gas doesnt cut the mustard at all. Use preditor/ultra in the colder months - thatll kick your fps up to around 320 on a cold day and the kick will be alot harder.

    Got it in one.

     

    On 134a/144a in our respective climate and current weather it's just not going to work - the pressure isn't great enough. Cool down sets in far quicker, and you end up with a gun that's spitting BB's as opposed to slinging 'em. Switch to green gas and you'll be far better off. The pressure is greater, the cool down effect lessened and the power increases. As leo said, it shouldn't go above 325fps w/0.20g so will be fine even for CQB.

     

    The difference between green and 134a in this weather is astronomical. If I remember (and that's a very big if) I'll try record the difference on Sunday.

     

    I can understand if you're a little nervous running it off of higher pressured gas, so I'd go with something like Ultrair...it's not as high pressured as the likes of the Cybergun red-label (still green gas, by the way) gas, but greater than 144a.

  8. Mine is still chugging a long like a champ. I've found that the mags take an absolute age to fill, and loading up my 7x mags used up about one third of a gas bottle (750ml).

     

    Using Cybergun green gas (APS3, red bottle) it fires strong at just under the joule, with nice snappy recoil. On sustained burst fire, toward the end of the mag cool down began to set in (lessened recoil, slightly slower cyclical rate). Change of mag, and right back to where it should be. Used all day in 4 degree weather without a single hiccough.

     

    Like others have noted, the mags are a bit prone to dirt clogging the BB's - worth disassembling for scrubbing with a wire brush on the BB channel.

     

    I have 3x spare nozzles ready to go should I need them, and it's still running perfectly stock. Kinda wish I hadn't shelled out for the unnecessary nozzles :D

  9. I found that it looked great behind glass but once it was close (in your hand) the finish looked tacky and the feel of the pistol screamed "cheap toy" . It shot well though which was no surprise 

    It's the same with any nickel plated/chrome finish plastic guns; they look fine but ultimately are too shiny and end up just feeling like a cheap poundshop toy :(   I have the same issue with the Marushin SAA; looks great on display, but once in your hand...*shudders*

  10. Retailers over here only sell the kits, and they'll still charge full price for the valve alone.

    And they come out at £35 for a kit, (about $55?)

    That's much in muchness what it would be here for the kit; €39 (approx. £32). The valve alone would be €12, or £10 approximately.

     

    I wouldn't have thought there would be much market for the tool on its own...just goes to show you though!

  11. Just for the record, in case people think there's dodgy dealings, that NPAS valves are sold separately as well as in a kit. It means that for folk like myself who've got 6+ NS2 systems means I only needed one $35 NPAS kit, and 5 $7 NPAS valves :)
