Update - I've been trying this gun out as a side with a few friends in the woods (private, not public so don't worry, I'm not getting arrested). It actually works quite well, especially since the shells are large enough that you can load 5 bbs into each, effectively giving you a miniature shotgun, with effective range out to 5m or so. Not bad for a side. Another bonus is that the shells fit in my 410 ammo belt, so reloads aren't too slow anymore either. All in all, surprisingly skirmish-able, can't wait to try it out for real.
Having compatibility issues with the pics, but should be sorted in the near future

Cheers. Guess it's low caps till I've got some cash to shell out on the TM one...

What sort of hi-cap mags would people recommend? I've tried using the CYMA manufactured ones, but despite being 100 round cap mags, won't hold more than 50 rounds before jamming. I've got 2 of them, so I'm doubtful that it's a manufacture error, so it's looking like a design flaw (but since CYMA copies TM, this seems to suggest that nothing will be any better). Anyone found any other brands to work better?
Thanks

This is one of UHCs many revolvers, which have come on sale in the past few months.
First impressions were good. Solid grip, user friendly sights (nice and fast to aim), and hey, a revolver which actually revolved. For £20! The plastic looks metal enough at arms length, so while you're firing it, you can't tell.
The FPS is rather low, given at a measly 150 using .2s (use .12s though, the hop ups designed for them), but personally I think that's a good thing - this makes the hammer very light to cock, and being a revolver, meaning that you can draw it in true fast draw style - this means while it may be outgunned by practically everything out there, you can certainly get to it considerably faster.
Even loading this gun is fun - flicking open the cylinder (you can do this one handed, just like in the movies), hitting the extractor rod, watching the empty shells fall to the ground, loading in 6 new shells, then snapping the gun shut is deeply satisfying, and with only 6 shots, you get plenty of excuse to do this (finally, a good thing to say about low capacity).
Shooting the gun is, unfortunately, not so fun. While the sights may be fully adjustable, this does little to offset the problems of .12g bb's, low FPS, and strong winds. Hitting trees at 10m was a matter of trying to shoot in between the gusts, and quite frustrating.
So I moved on to being Clint Eastwood, and practicing fast draws, which was far more fun. As I've already mentioned, the Python is insanely fast to draw - it's weighting and shape mean it'll sit comfortably in even the crumbiest of holsters (a Viper hip holster) without a retention strap (tested this with a handstand, it was still there), but will pop out the moment your hand starts to pull that hammer back. And for some reason I'm yet to understand, it shoots much better from the hip than any automatic (aka magazine fed) pistol I've ever used, and even better than itself when actually aiming. "Dropping" three trees in quick succession has never been so satisfying. The Python literally halved my draw time (before it'd been set with a TM M92F GBB, cheating with safety off of course). While 1/2 second still isn't Clint, it's a step in the right direction.
All in all a very nice gun. No match for a GBB or EAP, but quite a lot of fun, and something I'm even considering taking on a skirmish - after all, when's the last time you actually used your pistol? And for look, and speed of draw (just in case), this is well worth it.

This is probably a stupid question but anyway... I have one of these, how do I tell if it's a V1 or a V2? It was bought second hand about 2 years ago, and was 2 tone originally if that helps. Thanks

Like many people here, I seem to have the jamming on semi auto problem. Is there any solution to this problem? I love this gun, but have never been a fan of just mindlessly spraying on auto. Any ideas whatsoever? I'm prepared to do a lot of rewiring, and even buy the odd spare part. Maybe some way of using the fully auto part of the gearbox, but with the trigger cutting out after 1 shot? Thanks

Hmm... I'd say AEPs are just as good as GBBs, just nowhere near as fun.
With this gun, does anyone else have a problem with the trigger when after roughly 30 rounds half the trigger pulls won't have any effect (not even a motor sound)? Leaving the gun for about 20 minutes fixes the problem, so I have to assume it's overheating, but this seems a bit odd.

Thanks... better get cracking then

Hi, I'm new to this site, and am probably just being an idiot, so any advice would be very much appreciated.
I've been trying to view the classifieds section to buy a new gun. At first I was unable to do so, so I followed the register links and created this account. Now I can log into the site, but I'm asked to log in again to view the classifieds, but my login details don't work here. I assumed I had to make a different account to view the classifieds, but links to register just take me back to the forums. Where've I gone wrong?
Thanks

Hi, I've got 100+ posts, but am unable to access the sales section - it simply doesn't recognise my login and password, and tells me the log in details are invalid. I'm using the username Airsoftbuyer1234 , and I've checked the password is correct. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
