Custom M16A3/SPR built up off a G&P reciever with many RS parts on it.

Also just bought a Marushin Winchester 1887 Guards Repeater, real wood stock and metal bits... no pics yet, but will upload one soon. The repeating lever action is delicious.
I also have an AK47, MP5SD5, various Tanaka revolvers (including .357magnum and Colt .45 SAA 9" nickel plated) and an M92.
Also lots of hi-speed, low drag gear :laugh: and the gear is all real... real MARPAT, real interceptor OTV, real LWH etc....

Haven't been for about a year but reckon I might go this weekend. Not sure whether I'm gonna head to Ambush (my usual site) or Adventure in Maidenhead, as I just met the chap who runs that site and he invited me over.
-

^^^ cor neo you aint messin about are ya !!!!
I don't do things by halves :laugh:

-
Lol ide love to play next sunday i might see if i can organise a gun of somesort still got some camo ect! Did u play longmore much? Im guesing you know dave and theo? Charlie n that from ambush?
-
Next Chobham game is 11th, see if you can round something up for that :happy2:
I never played much at Longmore, used to play loads at Chobham, Eversley, and Lasham though. Also did Ground Zero in Southampton quite a lot as well, that was a super site with some great players.
I know Charlie, Dave, Theo... usual suspects :laugh:

I've just broken my £40 rubbish electric M83, can anyone recommend a replacement (machine gun) for about £130 - £150? I thought this looked okay: http://www.airsoftworld.net/jg-g36-ris-g608-7.html?SID=d8gp3aiat0e0rt4flhhjljg7q3
Cheers.

Tom - Where do you go? I could be tempted to give it a go :happy2: Seems like an addiction though i will probably end up dressed like Rambo.

Eww Chinese. And you mean assault rifle. A good, solid, entry-level assault rifle that is ready to be modified is the standard Tokyo Marui M16A2.

Plastic reciever, but millions of mods available for it, and it's a good, dependable, relatively cheap gun. Bit higher than your budget (it's £199 at SAS, but you might get better deals from someone like Wolf Armouries). Generally you need to be a UKARA member before buying one though, so that means going to three games with a rental gun and getting your UKARA membership.

I had a MAC 10 gas automatic blowback that HURT ALOT... it could almost pierce your skin at close range on a fresh magazine

Very good video below on the gun firing the pellets

I love 1911's, where can I get an airsoft version from like this? A decent one!
-
If you don't mind the plastic frame, the TM one I have is superb quality and has authentic markings. Special Airsoft Supplies and Wolf Armouries both sell it, but remember you most likely need to be a UKARA member I suspect.
I'm getting (by which I mean: I will get) a metal frame for mine because I like the feel and heft of metal over plastic. Trouble is finding one with all the right markings... most of the metal frames these days for 1911s have either nonmilitary markings or other manufacturer markings (Kimber and so forth). Finding the proper "Colt's Patent Firearms Mfg Co" markings on a metal frame is harder than you'd think!
-
I would be carefull with these as they look very much like replica fire arms which can land you in a world of sh*t.

They are completely legal to own, as long as you are over 18 and their power is less than 330 Feet Per Second (might be 350, but most site limits have it as 330 or 328FPS).
To purchase a new airsoft gun classified as a "replica firearm" under the VCRA (Violent Crimes Reduction Act) generally speaking you must be a member of the UK Airsoft something Association (UKARA).
Some guns are exempt though (for example, my 1873 Winchester replica is exempt as it is a replica of a pre-1900 weapon).
The other exemption is that if more than 50% of the gun is painted in a hivis colour, like flouro yellow or orange or red, it is no longer classified as a "replica firearm"; and so you see newbs running around at airsoft sites with pink guns and so on.
Of course you cannot take one out in public, it must be in a bag at all times, etc., etc.
As long as you're not stupid with them and you act within the law then there's no problem regarding ownership and playing the sport.
