The Official Questions Thread Version: "Charlies in the trees, what do I need to get rid of them?" - General

[QUOTE=theryan11;44845418]So my friend just revealed to me that his father has an importers license for airsoft shiet. Now I realize why he as like 9 TMs in Canada. So since I can get guns for near factory price now, what should I get. I have lots of money saved and would like a hipster gnu[/QUOTE] The obvious answer lies in Maruzen shotguns and fancy pistols.

Hey guise, does this look at least look like multicam to you? [thumb]http://i00.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/1725301934/Mens-s-TDU-Rapid-Tactical-Hunting-Assault-font-b-Combat-b-font-Airsoft-Paintball-Long-Sleeve.jpg[/thumb]

Aliexpress is a nice website though

Are there any Five Sevens that can be imported into Canada / is sold in Canada aside from the TM one? I really like the look of the gun but I am pretty adverse to paying $450 + $60 per magazine + shipping for it.

Generally what could be classified as low-cap, med-cap, and hi-cap. Not sure what the lowest capacity for hi-cap is nor the others so that'd be nice to know so I don't go to this range with a hi-cap when they have them banned.

locaps are also called real caps. generally 30 rounds. midcaps and hicaps differ in a few ways. first is capacity. midcaps are very rarely more than 150 rounds. hicaps are usually 300 rounds or more and use a gear system to feed bbs from a reservoir into the gun, as opposed to the midcap and locap which uses a spring and a follower. if the mag has a wheel on the bottom that you spin to load the bbs, its a hicap.

Alright cool, the gun I mentioned earlier is real-cap with only one magazine... So I've gotta get more... gg airsoft gi, my money is being sucked away as we speak

Might not be as bad as you think. Mid/low capacity mags are hella fun to play with since you actually have to reload every now and then. Not to mention that you don't rattle like a maraca every time you run. [editline]19th May 2014[/editline] I thought I was going to die paying $50-75 per mag (for 30-50 round mags) for my GBBR, but I sucked it up and dropped a couple hundred on a bulk purchase and I haven't regretted it once. Since you're using an AEG, you'll be able to get as many mid or low caps as you need for pretty cheap too.

About mags: I'm hoping the new PTS EPMs are going to be reasonably priced, although not likely since they're being super hyped on most of the big retailers right now. Pretty much going to be the best PMAGs on the market though, 150rnd midcap, feeds flawlessly on high RPM builds, little indicator when it's topped off, built in magpul/grip baseplate thing, faux round window. Although I've read that they're more designed for v2 gearboxes? Is the magwell/feeder really that much different in v3 guns?

Pmags are supposed to be stanag alternatives, I don't think there are any stanag airsoft guns with a v3 gearbox.

UAR (:downs:), G36 with clippymag converter, F2000, Tavor, probably like half of ares stanags

[QUOTE=mousecop;44855523]Pmags are supposed to be stanag alternatives, I don't think there are any stanag airsoft guns with a v3 gearbox.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure KA SIG 556s are stanag compatible and v3 gearbox. I'm getting one soon which is mostly why I'm asking. Gotta ask Biscuit Boy, he had one for a while.

Ahh I see, well I don't believe That the hop ups on v3 guns would be the problem. You might have heard that they were designed for ARs because I know that the difference between PMAGs and EMAGS are that EMAGS are designed for guns that use AR mags but aren't AR's. I think Emags are just a bit thinner than Pmags and work in more guns. I could be wrong though as far as airsoft.

I know back when I had a KWA M4 I had some EMags and they fed like absolute ass in the M4 so you may be right.

Much more fun, but can get frustrating when you're on the receiving end of stream of 50 bbs and you can only afford to fire about a fifth of that back in the same amount of time. Hey ho.

I don't want to mess with it by having to reload a lot more. I agree it's more fun to reload but I don't really want to at the expense of breaking something.

Honestly, if you're just starting then you'll want mid-caps or high-caps anyway so it'll be cool. As Fish Muffin said, midcaps have a spring and follower and don't require winding; high-caps hold sometimes around twice as many BBs as a mid-cap but require you to wind them up after every 30-50 shots.

also hicaps make you [t]http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/stepanov/stepanov1106/stepanov110600007/9681565-young-dancer-with-the-maracas-posing-on-a-white-background.jpg[/t]

i use hicaps crucify me

I have to use hi caps this weekend cause I only bought three mid caps for my AK. But they'll be my last resort.

Does the WE have a better performance (shoots 300 vs 250 fps from KJW) and will it take the KJW magazines?

mags will fit from my EXTREMELY limited experience KJW glocks are kinda lackluster compared to WE but why are you getting another one

what gun is it? literally never heard of reloading a lot breaking a gun.

Granted, the GBBR does have that ~scary gun noise~ advantage in CQB - with the can on it makes my ears ring in tight spaces. Although for field play, it works great since I only really need semiautomatic. [editline]20th May 2014[/editline] oh hello new page

Hey BiscuitBro, you're the expert on PCUs around here. Would you say the ORC or the Patagonia one is better/cooler?

Zao, wanna hit EOA Sunday for gas gun night?
