Airsoft Chat Thread V.7 Shimano gears are the best

Wait a sec, you do realize that the Marui P90 is by far the best gun suggested with its only issues being low fps and hard to carry magazines right? Any gun made by Marui is pretty much constructed from magic and very high quality plastic.
[QUOTE=Northy66;37200996]yuh shipping and customs is always a possible issue when importing from HK or US to UK. I know they have everything cheaper and it's a pain but it's always safe to purchase domestically.

All legit UK websites. Although wolf armouries overprices everything like the london bastards they are.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=FloaterTWO;37201019]The M14 is technically a battle rifle, but it's pretty much an assault rifle in airsoft terms. It's got a selector switch so you can use it on full auto, so in terms of functionality it's similar to the other guns you were looking at.
Also, if you can i'd suggest ordering from the UK for the sake of simplicity, getting a gun shipped across from the US is probably going to be a pain in the ass unless you know what you're doing and how to import it without customs having a shitfit.[/QUOTE]
Alright thanks, I'll search UK sites and see if they offer the M14 EBR as well. Thanks.

No dice guys, that M14 EBR on Airsoft GI is around £100-£200 cheaper than other M14 EBRs on UK sites.
Looks like when It comes to buying time I'll have to get the gun from Airsoft GI.
You still run a probable £40ish shipping cost. The fact it might have a much higher FPS than the UK versions and of course probable custom issues.
Just make sure you go through all the customs buggery really professional and precise like. Or customs will rape your with the missile platforms at the olympic games.
taking a wild shot in the dark cause i'm america but can't you only get things from inside the UK, even with a UKARA?
Uh nope I bought my AK from Hong Kong. UKARA is just to justify having an RIF as opposed to two tones and is for the most part recognised as allowing it to pass through customs once they've verified that you are actually in the database.
Still, Customs have the discretion of just destroying it or refusing the UKARA as valid reason.

I believe this also applies to shipping to UK.
I'm not experienced when it comes to shipping and the such.

The free shipping is only for America
G&P M14 Socom DMR is sooo sexy.
Availability: Out of Stock
And 400fps
You'll have to use like 0.30s constantly or change out the spring
[editline]12th August 2012[/editline]
because 360fps limit most of time srs

You'll have to swap the spring on most CYMA guns to get them to run at the limit for most UK sites, everyone i know who's bought one has had to either downgrade or chop a few coils off the spring (that's the ghetto solution)
And shipping is likely to be more than £40, i've bought smaller and lighter things off ebay from the US and still had to pay ~£50 for shipping, it's likely to be around £100 for a gun, maybe even more if you get anything extra and considering how heavy the EBRs are meant to be.
except you chrono with .2's
so if you shoot hot with .2's then switching over to .3's won't solve anything
I read some sites let you chrono with a particular bb weight if you can prove that's the only ammo you've got. Which makes sense I suppose but there's alot of room for aboose.
Also GI only ships to Canada + US dOHOHOHOoho

welcome to living in the uk
I'm still recommending the TM P90 way more than the CYMA M14.

it ain't about the FPS though
a gun shooting 450fps w/ .2g would output the same energy with .3g's

Whelp, I think I'm going to end up killing myself soon, theres got to be someway of getting a M14 EBR for less that £300.

Alright, If it comes to it and I cant get a decently priced M14 EBR I'll look into that TM P90 I was originally going for.
The CYMA EBR is still pretty new, so i'd expect it to come to the UK stores eventually, it's just taking its time.

Oh, didn't know it was new.
Good thing is I wont be able to buy it for a month or 2 until I get a UKARA, so I can wait.
Better get to bed now, Bye guys, and thank you so much for all the help.
What a fucking weekend, played at one of the coolest and most atmospheric AOs ever and got to staff a Lion Claws game, fuck yeah.

A bunch of my friends went, but I didn't have the money to go.
I never seem to have the time or money to airsoft anymore... I feel your pain notrabies.
Best airsoft ever today.
Highlight:
CQBCity with Josh, Ender and Taiwanese.
I'm running down "street" between buildings, slide feet forward past cover both Browning Hi Powers aimed to left, Shoot two surprised play to win types, josh shoots guy about to shoot me by firing OVER ME, I flip my guns to my right and shoot another play to win type of guy, stand up, look around and say "Holy shit. That just fucking happened"
This is one of many "Max Payne" moments I had that [u]ROUND[/u].
Also we took video and Taiwanese took pictures.
Oh and two veitcong came to CQBCity and advertised this place:[url]http://www.airsoftreserve.net/[/url]
They took pictures too and I'll rehost them when they upload them.
gooks...
