Been thinking to maybe go for a shotgun next, what is your opinion?

I've really been digging a Glock for the past two months and during my research the most brought up brands were WE and VFC. But people say that VFC is better out of the box and the WE is a more affordable and upgradable platform that has many parts to choose from. Also one thing that I've noticed us that the VFCs are more pricie due to the Glock banded components and are kinda picky with the magazins they accept. So my question is if I only plan to upgrade the hopup chamber and bucking is the WE worth getting over the VFC to save some money for extra mags?

Greetings all,

I am a noobie to the hobbie and got a starter pack to learn my way in ;)

My SA M4 has a mag that's "high cap" I believe, with the rotary thing at the bottom to load up BB's. I think I fucked it up somewhat because I forgot to empty it and left it in tension for a week.

During my last game I had feeding issues, leading me to believe the spring is loose.

What kind of M4 mag should I get ? Most websites only refer to them as mid / high cap, but I don't know which one to get. I rather go to one that you load with a BBloader rather than my current system because it's doing a lot of noise when you run around.

Looking for a tan mag, and buying from EU.

Thanks for any help !

So I had a friend come with me to play airsoft and I borrowed him one of my AEG's. Being an idiot, I didn't charge both my batteries and unknowingly ended up giving him one that was close to being empty. The gun stopped firing after about an hour of gameplay, after which we swapped batteries and continued.

Now regarding the empty LiPo, people's advice mostly seems to go from "it's fucked, toss it" to "just charge it, but not all the way". Almost 24hours after it went dead, I got the time to charge it and (seemingly) got it to charge all the way without any signs of swelling or heat from the battery.

But I still don't know if I can trust it, can I still safely use this battery and only have to worry about charging it in the future? Or would I risk my AEG being immolated mid game

If I were to buy a silencer to my aeg, would it acctually silence the sound at all? And if so, what brand would be the best pick?

Loving this thing, currently shooting in my basement onto some targets but I want to go on a field this month.

Hi Guys,

I bought a KWC M92 for CQB but its shooting 15-20fps over the field limit so I can't use it. I did a search and wondering if there hasn't been any new developments or ideas? Can I change the valve in the mag to reduce FPS? Thanks

So I want my brother's first airsoft gun to be as little maintenance as possible. I've heard that there have been issues with the mosfet, but also that these problems have been resolved (as mentioned in the wiki). Can anyone confirm this information? People who own newer productions of this gun, how has your experience with it been? Any maintenance problems or other issues?

CYMA Platinum M4 QBS

Hello all!

 I’ll admit, I am not an avid airsofter, but hoping this community can help me out by sharing your knowledge and experience!

 I am attempting to find an M9/M92 (no tactical rail) to use for display purposes. My biggest requirement would be it mimics the “blued” look of a genuine M92, instead of the basic “matte black” or “cerakote” type coloring that most seem to have. I’d prefer it to be metal, if at all possible. 

I have purchased both the WE Full Metal M9, and the KJW M9 Government model, and have returned them both as the finish is no where near something that could pass on display/camera as an actual M92.

Any advice for someone wearing of searching?

Picture of genuine M92FS, blued, for reference.

had 3 fully charged batteries at the end of my game n about a 4 day delivery time on a discharger from amazon. decided to take a throwaway gun, tape the trigger and just run it continuously since dry firing wouldn't be a concern. my 12v managed to entirely disconnect the motor from the gearbox and now it just sounds like a drill... it works though? fr experts is there any downside to this concerning battery health?

Should I be concerned? It still is fully functional but idk for how long without this piece

Trying to sell my Arcturus AEG but HopUp isn't really much help, and Facebook marketplace are strict as hell with their guidelines.

Is there another way to sell online (in the US)?

Also r/airsoftmarketplace isn't letting me list until I hit 20 comment karma so that really isnt a solution until then.

Hello!

I am going insane! Please someone help me! I have spent prolly 100+ hours attempting to fix this stupid issue with my version 2 AEG gearbox, and I can't figure it out. I am about ready to chuck this thing out of a window.

So for a bit of context, I modded a G&G arp9. Everything was fine until one day my gearbox started locking up really bad while I was out in the field. It cycled for a bit, but then eventually fully locked up. When I opened the gearbox, I found that some gears on the cheap plastic piston had worn to nothing. Seemed like an easy fix, just had to buy a more sturdy piston, but now I can't get this thing to cycle clean to save my life. Here's what I've tried:

• Re-shimming more times than I can count (sometimes going looser or tighter than normal on purpose)
• Adjusting motor height using the half-shell technique and adjusting while testing with everything in
• Replacing the motor
• Trying different springs (current one is an m120 but tried the original m140)
• Trying different gearbox configurations to attempt to narrow down the issue

At this point, I've screwed with the shim a bunch, and it feels like I've got it as good as it gets with this gear set. Here's what it sounds like with me just stroking the gears:

Here is currently what the gearbox sounds like with everything in:

Here's what it sounds like without the piston or spring installed:

And then here are just some general photos of what the gearbox looks like rn:

A few important notes:

• Before you mention it, yes I gotta patch up that one part in the wiring harness with some electric tape. The motor cycles fine outside of the handle, so I don't think that would be causing any issues at least right now.
• The bevel gear teeth are slightly chipped, it's not on all teeth, and there are no teeth that are worn down lower than others.
• When I cycle the gun with the motor, bevel, and spur in, the gun actually sounds alright. It's when I add the sector gear and onward where things start getting pretty grindy (although I don't have a video of the gun cycling without the sector gear atm). Maybe I'm just shimming the sector gear bad?
• The bearings do not move. They are all super-glued in.

And finally, here are all the non-stock parts I've got in my gearbox atm:

Rocket 13:1 gears (used a dremel on a couple areas in the gearbox to ensure all gears spin freely, sector gear has a sector delay chip on it): https://www.evike.com/products/12495/

Sorry for such a long post, but I really wanted to include everything so that those who want to help have plenty of info. Thank you in advance!

Running a high torque lonex A1 into 18.1 shs gears. I can't seem to get the motor to properly fit with in my gearbox and the couple times I did get it to fit I ended up seizing the gearbox forcing me to drop the anti reversal latch. The pistol grip barely tightens flush when everything is screwed down and I can't adjust the motor height at all. I have a mod1 motor grip and I'm curious if I should try a different grip to get better fitment/angle and if so what recommendations for a V2 does everyone have

Is there any kind of chassis or stock to make a vsr-10 look like a q fix

Hey y'all, I'm thinking of getting a new GBB gun or two, and I'm just looking for some suggestions. I already have:

TM 1911

EF G17

WE-Tech G27

VFC MP7

VFC SCAR-H

What other replicas would y'all suggest? I'm not really looking for practicality or fieldability, just fun and good quality. I'm thinking of getting a VFC BCM MCMR, WE-Tech Desert Eagle, or KWA Skorpion. (No consistency/theme, I know.) What are some guns y'all really like or want? Pistols, rifles, shotguns, SMGs, etc. Give me some ideas.

So a few weeks ago I got a Polarstar f1, I already had a speed trigger before hand that was meant for aegs, I put it on my gun worked perfectly until I adjusted it, everything went wrong.. please help please

Could an APS shotgun be used to shoot skeet

I’m really new to airsoft, and I have no idea why the barrel keeps falling out. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I was wondering how many people use skateboard helmets during games. I have one myself, but it's got a bright design on it. My question is, has anyone put a cover on a skateboard helmet before? I see roller derby helmet covers exist but I'm not sure of their durability in our sport. Thanks again!

Anyone know why? I have issues earlier because I put the tape on the wrong way, but now it is fine until you flip the gun upside down. What is the issue? The valve is literally as tight as I can get it with a wrench.

I need honest answers about this gun if you own it I don’t own rights to the picture

Anyone got any suggestions for a budget friendly scope to use on the Ares snipers? I’m not really looking for anything too fancy, maybe a 4x, but I need a good 3.5ish inches of eye relief and this scope I have needs like an inch. I don’t wanna spend more than $100-$200 on it.

I'm having many problems with my FCU. I was wondering if anybody could help me? First off is it normal that whenever you unplug your battery it disconnects second I'm having trouble connecting every time I click the name of my FCU. It connects then disconnect in like two seconds also sometimes it says it cannot connect. I tried charging my battery and I'm not sure if it's a battery problem or wire problem. Also, my full auto isn't working. I said it to full auto and it instantly starts shooting without me, pulling the trigger, but no BBs come out. So idk
