Okay, five second Google search makes me want to check my computer for viruses after visiting that site. They make it sound like it carries the plague.
Yeah I bought my Aimpoint Killflash from them. Took them forever to ship it and they weren't responding to my emails asking for an update or a tracking number. Really shady, I don't recommend them at all.
Botach is sketchy, they have a large supply and good prices but they're a little shady from the reviews I've read.

Sorry, just for clarification...

Good site? That is an insane deal and I want that badly.[/QUOTE]
I ordered those goggles from their website and didn't have any problems. They arrived quickly and there were no issues, dunno why there's so many complaints.
NO.
DO not order from them.
I ordered a few things and they never arrived.
They shipped them to the wrong adress after about a month of waiting for shipping and never responded when I repeatedly emailed them and stuff about it.
How can I get the plum furniture look on my AK74?
I have a DBOY PDW, I want to get a silencer/barrel extension and I was wondering if I need to get a longer inner barrel. I would assume not as that would defeat the purpose of an extension.
You don't need to but if you are getting a extension you might as well get a longer inner barrel for more accuracy and range.
Hey guys I have a problem. I have a ca m14 match and the mag that came with it no longer feeds right. It puts out maybe 10 bbs then needs to be wound up again. I emptied the mag and the gear wheel that you spin at the bottom is still tense as if fully loaded. Could it be an issue with the spring inside? Would it be worth it to open the mag and try to find the problem?

Mag's probably fucked up. Buy a new one.
I see. That sucks. Would there be Any hope of ripping it open and tinkering with it?

You can try. No guarantees anything good will come of it.
Might as well open it up and see if you can fix it as its not working anyway.
I guess. Thanks. This really sucks, seeing as how I have no money.
What would I need for a retro, greenside US Rangers loadout?

80s/90s woodland would be BDUs, patrol cap, black jungle boots, web gear set and a M16, nothing very special in my opinion. Basically same as regular infantry except replace the pasgt helmet with a cap and remove the pasgt vest all together.

Get like, 4-5 midcaps, that should be all you need if you play as a DMR I think.
I fixed it. Was very easy. There's a little spring inside that makes the wheel click when you spin it, that completely came off.
Also I am curious, where is the spring located in an AEG? In the gearbox, or does it vary? Because when I took my M14 apart, I unscrewed something underneath the barrel and a long spring came out. Would that be it?
[editline]10:08PM[/editline]
Also G&G and CA M14 mags are expensive as hell so I rather have some working hicaps.
The spring for any AEG is located inside the gearbox. You need to pull out the trigger mechanism and the upper separates from the body on the CA and G&G.
That spring underneath the barrel I'm pretty sure is for your charging handle. It's an odd design. The spring that powers the gun is inside the gearbox, just under the bolt cover.
Any good airsoft uzi that's not TM?
Any good airsoft UZI that isnt some GAY ASS FUCKING MICRO PIECE OF SHIT?
Thanks @ ender and stupideye.
What is this model paint weathering? How do you do it?
I would imagine it would be very painstaking to detail it with paint
So whats up with my battery? On Friday at a game it shorted out or whatever. I thought it was just dead, but when I plugged it in it wouldn't charge. One of the guys there said my battery shorted a cell.
I'm using [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_74&products_id=1224]a smart charger[/url]. I don't know why it did this. I checked all of the connectors, the parts where the wires go into the cell, and they're all intact.
Did my charger do this, did I break the battery physically (like twist a wire oddly), or was it the battery brand? I don't know what brand the battery was, but it was a crane stock battery I got when I asked "Can I get a 9.6 crane stock battery?" Pretty much done buying from AEX entirely. All of their crap is overpriced.
Intellect is a nice battery company isn't it?
How do you know that the battery wouldn't charge? Did a light not come on or something?
If that's the case, then you may have shorted a cell. A great way to test this is just to get a voltmeter and check the voltage of the battery pack by testing the connector. If you don't get a reading, then you have a damaged cell or something not completing the circuit. If a cell has indeed shorted, you should be able to narrow it down to which one it is by testing each cell.
If all of that checks out and you have voltage readings wherever you check, then your battery is fine and your charger died. That would cause it not to charge your battery fully the day you thought the battery died.
Although if you just bring the battery into AEX they should be able to test it. I find it hard to believe their techs don't have a cheap $10 voltmeter to check the batteries and guns.
I know it won't charge because the light wouldn't come on. That particular charger, when you plug it in, flashes green-red-green-red, then turns red to signal that it's charging. When I plugged in the battery, it did the startup, but never turned red to signal charging.
When I got to the field I dry fired to test that it worked, and it half cycled or something then just stopped. Whenever I pressed the trigger from then onward with that battery in I mine as well had no battery, the trigger did nothing.
Also, I know my charger isn't dead because I charged my friend's spare battery on it the night after. His spare battery was how I was able to play that day.
Just used a voltmeter and it showed up as shorted.
So crappy battery?
Okay guys, I'm near a gun club in Arizona right now, and they sell MOLLE pouches that are nearly identical to the pouch I have on my vest at home. I want to know whether to buy a fairly large pouch to put on the back of my vest, or a pistol mag pouch to hold a flash light or a candy bar or something (I don't own a pistol, by the way, and I barely have any mags (3) nor equipment.
If you play all day in the scorching sun I'd recommend a camelback or hydration pack, if that's what you mean by "fairly large pouch." Actually, if you just want to spend, you could invest in midcaps and more pouches.
Or if you want to do something quit a bit different, you could try something like this since you don't have much gear to carry:

[url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=4667[/url]
[url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=2147[/url]
All 3 and your existing pouches and you've got a high speed low drag loadout.
