But a stock TM will work for all eternity.

VFC, G&P, LCT, REALSWORD are some of the companies that come to mind 4 me when going for external quality, the TM will have an all plastic body(some of their newer guns are metal, like the recoil shocks.) but VFC guns will be full metal, usually have a functioning bolt catch and their AR variants have thinner pistol grips closer to realsteel

i dont know why people dont like VFC pistons mine is doing great [editline]1st June 2013[/editline] omg buy a recoil shock scar/416

[QUOTE=felix the cat;40865197]But a stock TM will work for all eternity.[/QUOTE] doesn't mean the internals are good

Does the the Galaxy MP5K PDW have 14mm CCW threads? If not, I'll be going with the other one.

[QUOTE=JimmyA;40865339]doesn't mean the internals are good[/QUOTE] yeah reliability has nothing to do with a gun being good

[QUOTE=Joetehpsycho;40865360]Does the the Galaxy MP5K PDW have 14mm CCW threads? If not, I'll be going with the other one.[/QUOTE] It does. It has a standard mp5 flashhider under the QD PDW one. You can also buy a direct attach piece to where the threads are directly on the end of the barrel instead of being on the flash hider.

Last question about the Galaxy MP5k. How long should I charge the shitty battery with the charger that it comes with? I won't have the cash to buy a replacement and smart charger immediately, and may have to use it for a game or two.

The charger I got with mine had a small LED on it, so I assume it's a low grade smart charger? I never used it though since I have a smart charger

[QUOTE=dwt110;40865387]yeah reliability has nothing to do with a gun being good[/QUOTE] i'm talking about internal quality jesus fucking christ does nobody understand that tms are so reliable because they're weak?

Would a neoprene balclava with mesh modded in the mouth and ear areas be field legal for an under 18 y/o? Something like this [T]http://i.imgur.com/v3XKIxb.jpg[/T] (not my photo)

[QUOTE=JimmyA;40868948]i'm talking about internal quality jesus fucking christ does nobody understand that tms are so reliable because they're weak?[/QUOTE] you realize that all marui gearboxes have marui magic dust sprinkled into them and all the pieces are casted out of stainless reliability

[QUOTE=GREN EYGS N HAM;40869861]You don't need a gun that shoots hot to be good. What you are saying is that slapping an m150 spring into an LPEG = best gun in the world.[/QUOTE] i'm not saying that???????? i'm saying the internals aren't the best quality, they aren't, they're reliable, but they're not very strong, they work well because they're weak.

Yes I realized that before you posted just now, disregard me, I'm being a dumpass.

JimmyA is right. TM's are designed to fire under 300 FPS according to Japanese law, put an M130 or even M120 in that to get it to around 400, the internals will wear down. TM Pistols though, godly.

TM Pistols though, godly.[/QUOTE] but it's been proven time and time again that if you tune it to fire around 330-350 (where you should be in accordance to cqb field rules) the gun will hold up just fine. 400's pushing it already.

Dutch fields don't even allow FPS higher than 350, iirc. Anyway onto my next 'question', I seriously need glasses otherwise I can't hit shit. But I'm not really into damaging them onto the field. I guess it'd be a good idea to get a full-face protection helmet? Does anyone else wear glasses on the field?

Okay so I think I've ruled out going black gear with tiger stripe. Other colored gear would go better with different camo if I switch in the future as well. The only other colors I really like are coyote brown/tan and olive drab. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/information.png[/img] For CB/Tan + Tiger stripe [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/wrench.png[/img] For OD + Tiger stripe I would prefer not to buy new gear for a while so I think I should decide what color I'm going to be loadouting before I purchase.

Is that the only camo you plan to run? Take into account any other potential camos you'd be running with the same gear.

The only other camo that I might run is ERDL and maybe AOR1/2 but I really dislike MultiCam.

I run my black mag pouches on my otherwise OD kit with my tiger stripe and it looks pretty good IMO. I have some tan mag pouches and I don't really like the look of them on tiger stripe, contrasts too sharply with the dark color.

tan ≠ coyote

I'd go for coyote, khaki or ranger green. Those are more or less universal and look good with most patterns.

Hmm doubting to buy: [url]http://www.ebairsoft.com/larue-style-ar15-handguard-p-6505.html[/url] or spare a bit more for a: [url]http://www.airsoftshop.be/madbull-daniel-defense-mk18-rail-95.html[/url] Doesn't look too different to me..ghelp

the first one has a gap between receiver and the rail due to the barrel nut the second one is from a better manufacturer so its higher quality (most likely) and leaves no gap between rail and receiver

Lots of dry vegetation around this area during the summer. To be honest desert patterns are going to work a lot better than tiger stripe for the summer, but for CQB it's not going to matter.

Yeah I'm going to be going with CB/tan. A guy on a local marketplace group was selling a CB JPC for $75 and a CB Gen2 Battle Belt for $20 and I was so tempted but then I remembered I'm going to Taiwan next week. Hopefully Taiwan stocks CB/tan gear. Going to be buying a lot of stuff. :v:

Can you hook me up with this man selling a battlebelt for $20 by any chance?

Hey before you head to Taiwan let me give you some cash so you can pick me up a Spectre DR.
