      My friend who went there didn't say, just said they were closing down.

      They are winding down, it being quietly displayed at their walk-in store, but not broadcast online.

  3. Does anyone know anything about airgun valve design?

      They are vastly different from the GAMO blowback pistols vs the Umarex PPKs

      Depends on which model. CO2 holds higher pressure so there is a lot of limitation of the flow. There are still flute valves, but they are structured differently. TBH airsoft flute valves are possibly best system for blowback vs power out of the airgun systems. I have a Daisy 2003 which works like an open bolt MG.

  5. any one know if thereis a pencil barrel for a WE GBBR m4?

      3vi1-D4n

      You can order a WE XM177E2 barrel. Or an M16A1 barrel. But that may mean new front sight also.

      The guys who designed it have obviously never experienced army life.

       

      Not only does it look snaggy, it looks like a nightmare for soldiers to clean. Every crease lines can trap dirt/mud/sand. I can imagine this to be a soldiers worse nightmare, and a PITA for an NCO failing every soldier during weapons inspection.

       

      Can you imagine the time wasted?

  6. For the truest of the true fans of TM you can now buy a Tokyo Marui fake bullet in a case or even a face towel. Must admit the .45ACP is tempting: http://www.tokyo-marui.co.jp/ec/

      Thats like a markup of 1200% on the market price of a Bullet!

  7. Well, I guess Tiger HK 111 Airsoft is crossed off of my list as potential future retailers. Dumbasses. No response to emails nor support chat for 1½ weeks. Da fuq...

      Gunners you need to update your contact details on your website. I went to your address at Mong Kwok and called your number, no reply.

  8. So, is the A&K Mk46 Actually BETTER than the original M249s? or just different parts bolted on?

    1. 3vi1-D4n

      All good. Also recommend a FAB Tpod and get rid of the bipod. I had the pot metal bipod mounts replaced with a steel bipod mount and the bipod wasn't hardened to take the stresses. A FAB/ACM Tpod will though.

    1. 3vi1-D4n

      Thought it was the same? The A&K Mk46 still uses the M249 receiver as it still uses the box mag/M16 feed mechanism. It just has extra rail, barrel and sliding stock bolted on.

       

      One thing though, I never figured the differences in hop up performance between my A&K Para vs my friends MK1 which had a lot of hop fliers, mine is like a laser beam.

  10. Deep breath.......going to buy a VFC HK416 GBB and try to make it consistently skirmishable

      Once you know what to mod and look for its a piece of cake. It takes less time modding a VFC M4 work well than tuning a V2 meched AEG to shoot well.

  12. Ran out of gear grease. Can I use peanut butter instead?

      LOL. I guess I am that good, in either case. :D

      Real men don't need lube! Neither does my AEGs.

  14. Gah! Where's that diagram showing why WA GBBs can fire upside down? I know I was reading it recently :<

      Of course there are tradeoffs. I can get lots more mags per charge without the NLS than with it.

  15. Clearly the gods are intervening, making it difficult for me to find a donor gun to make a Groza out of. Will be making a GM-94 for the meanwhile.
