Thats actually great info, I've noticed as well that the ESS turbofans are the "best" but I haven't even thought about buying them yet because of their price.

I might try making it but if not, that's definitely where I'm going, specially because it is budget friendly.

Thanks!
And Lizander, congratulations finally! would love to see pictures.

And heavier doesn't always mean more durable XD. My Classic Army gearbox on my m4 is broken. :(
Spartan26, Hollywood is right, and mines Classic Army.

The UK ARMS pistol I had broke. And I did get a shotty. And I got another pistol from Wal-Mart. It worked great for around 3 months then the spring broke or something and it only fires pellets two feet now. I'm going to try and take it apart, thankfully it's clear so I can see where everything should be.
 
Hey, Spartan26, like I said, I'm going to be selling it in awhile. If you can wait till I get the gearbox back in one piece than it should be good. (Nothing was wrong with it, I just didn't know I couldn't put it back together after I took it apart, so I took it to a pro.)
 
I have an airsoft party coming up really soon, so I would like to buy an extra magazine for my Ak 47. I found some on extreme tactics but There is no description. can anyone help me out?? The title says it is high capacity but I have seen other clips that say they are high capacity but they are only 50 shots or so. 50 shots would go by pretty quick, but for fully automatic gun that could be used up WAAAAAY too fast. Any insights? I want to buy from Extreme tactics because there is one in winnipeg. http://xtreme-tactics.com/store/product_in...products_id=593 it doesn't bug me that it is in plastic.
or this one: http://xtreme-tactics.com/store/product_in...products_id=595 I'm still trying to get pics of my gun. VERY SOON!!!

Theres absolutely no way to tell, no reviews have been posted. You can try to get a marui hi cap mag. If you go to the store you bought it from they should? have spare mags. If not, going to the store would be the best bet. Can't help ya here, sorry.

Like I said though, if you find marui hicap magazines they should fit.

While this certainly doesn't compare to some (ok, most :p) of the weapons in this thread, I thought I'd post a pic of my latest airsoft acquisition:
th_DSCF2435.jpg
Nothing fancy, just a cheap springer Cx4 Storm that I'm using for my upcoming Battlestar Galactica marine costume. Right now it's in a million pieces while I make it look more like the real thing :D
I'll post some pics of the finished product as soon as it's done :)

I don't play airsoft (too expensive to get a decent semi-auto anything here) so I just collect the odd piece for display purposes, I've got a cheapo EBB Desert Eagle here somewhere that's about half way through a 'Underworld' conversion and a couple of other pistols that are also in a million pieces (a TM 1911 and a TM Sig P226)

lol, looking for a new gun already?

Maaaaaaybeeeee........... (y)

I'll give you a hint...... :

I found another sniper for about 220$. It's a china made one, but I can do mods on it and buy other parts for it if I need to. I can buy it too. The warhouse is in Canada. I've been lurking around airsoft canada for a little while and the VSR-10 clone from buy airsoft.ca is pretty popular. It sounds decent as well for the price. as soon as I get 400$ I'm going to buy the gun, a bipod and an extra clip for my Ak, an intellect battery, and a few other things.

heres the link to the gun if you want to see it.

http://buyairsoft.ca/catalog/product_info....products_id=397

Not that exact one, I don't like the wood finish. They have an OD scope package, Its just not instock right now (so they took it off the page for a while (I hope)).

I got to go now, I'm studying *cough cramming cough* for a math exam tommarrow.

And if you get bored of Battlestar Galactica, you could mod it to look like a Battle Rifle.

Where's the magazine on that thing, anyways?

Pacbury, are you like, set on using that website? And whats your budget. I'd say the best thing to do is to buy a JG m4 or other.

Mario, for a low budget gun, echo and JG are good. [same brand] http://airsoftatlanta.com/aeg.htm#ECHO1 like. normally I'd reccomend something. but that's just being lazy!

yeah, i know that website isn't the best, but its the only place i can get none two tone guns in the uk.
(and before anyone says anything- no its not illegal, theres some random loophole in the law, and because they operate from southern Ireland its legal to buy R.I.F (black) guns from them.)
as for my budget, i can probably get any of the guns on there, but id like to keep it as low as possible.

Bored of Battlestar Galactica? NEVER! :p Does look like it could be a decent enough base now that you mention it though...

The mag goes up in the pistol grip, where that little notch is. The real one uses standard Beretta pistol mags but they didn't do the same for the airsoft version :cautious:
Almost finished my mods just need to fill the screw holes and paint it, almost as heavy as the real thing now... really good for beating people :D


Question for the airsoft buyers. Does anyone know of any springer FN Five seveN's? There used to be one from Germany but I can't find it anymore and I'm not prepared to pay the price for a gas one.

From what I can tell these are the same guns:

http://buyairsoft.ca/catalog/product_info....products_id=329

and

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...t&noImage=0

they have the same stats, and even part of the same name ( look under that name of the first link and you will see TF11.) They look pretty sweet too. If I could save $60 and be able to buy extra clips (for the Mac11, which might be the same as the Tf11). Also I saw a crosman UZI. I wasn't very interested because it is Crosman, but my dad mentioned that he wanted to get into airsofting. So I was thinking of buying him this: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...s&noImage=0

for $35 I think it would be a decent starter gun for him, especially since he might only go target shooting with it in Semi auto, so he wouldn't chew through a ton of Co2 chambers.

This site helped me alot. I was real intimidated of taking down my gearbox for my first year of airsoft, Now everyone on my team has me fixing their crap.

www.mechbox.com

If I remember correctly, you should have a Version 3 mechbox, which for the exception of the motor housing, should be very similar to a V2 box as far as takedown/ reassembly goes. The video for V2 spring upgrade is what you're looking for. There is also a G36C takedown video which should be fairly close to the SL8.
Best of Luck!

I was actually using that website lol. I couldn't get some parts together, but I knew how it went kind of. It just wouldn't get together lol. That gave me confidence as well until I died inside. For some reason I can understand v2 gearboxes-b ut v3 seems to be a whole different level, mostly for external parts and what not.


And Lizander, I'd say go for a nice semi-auto gbb so you don't run through your rounds too fast. Its a lot more worth it.

Didn't feel like getting my gear (multicam, ghillie and Marine Woodland), but here's my collection.

SL370058.jpg


EDIT:
That's an SL8. It looks like it's either a Classic Army or BE (Both Elephant), but doesn't look very shiny, so I assume it's a CA.
