How to Maintain and Clean a Pistol
Before handling an airsoft gun or real firearm... remember, and remind those around you
-Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
-Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
-Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
-Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Kit 1: TM MWS and WE G17 Kit 2: TM AKX and AAP-01 Guess it's true that once you go gas, you never come back... Or someting like that.
so i bought a umarex glock 17 gen 5 second hand but it seems to be missing the part at the front to adjust the hop up , is there a way to adjust it internally or does anyone know where i can get that part?
Hi guys, I've recently got a brand new NE uzi and it's great. But one of my mags lost its follower and spring. I can't for the life of me find any specific parts for this. Any help appreciated :)
Green gas wears less but isn’t good in temperatures around 50 degrees F or less. C02 performance is said to stay the same at the same temperatures but it wears seals and gun internals faster.
Just wondering are the BB's supposed to Just roll out of the barrel when loaded? 😭
How would I be able to increase fps/accuracy/and range, I’m looking for a good hop bucking, nub, etc and I’m tryna get 400+ fps and reach the maximum distance I can with my gun
First and only one in the USA right now
Now I can finally field a PPK/S unlike the fragile plastic Maruzen model.
This one is sturdy and quite heavy
Absolutely love it
I really want one of these and I'm wondering if there any good. I'm I. The USA so I'll have to import it. Should I order from WGC shop or Action! Airsoft? Or somewhere else entirely. I've never ordered overseas like this so I'm in the dark.
Also, would a shart be a suitable substitute for lithium grease in an Aeg gearbox?
Been seeing one user with a love of USPs but I haven’t seen them post one of these yet
The very first VFC Umarex Walther PPK/S in the USA. Had to pull some strings to get this from overseas before they sold out. Got 3 of them. Keeping one, sold one, and have one left.
Full metal and feels quite heavy/sturdy for such a small pistol. 12 plus one capacity and locks back on empty. Shooting video posting next.
Sorry for the music in advance, tiktok added it with the autocut and I tried to mute it before posting
Pistol seen above is one of my favorites: SIG P365 CO2 powered airsoft gun
I have a WE-Tech Samurai Edge and i’m looking into improving it my mags are leaky so I thought i’d fix them up a bit with upgraded parts I looked into Laylax/Nine-Ball stuff but the m9 parts are impossible to find anywhere in the us I also wanted to upgrade the hop up chamber but i’m not even sure any options exist for that anyone got suggestions for both of those? bonus points if someone can help me find wood grips that fit too (collector design werks don’t fit and ss grips are not accurate)
Hi, I recently posted on here a few days ago about my mp7 having some issues, turns out it was a problem not relating to the replica itself, however now that everything is almost in working order, this time my replica cycles but then stops due to some kind of hammer reset issue. As seen in the video I can rack the slide and shoot once but then the hammer dosent reset, that is until I vigorously shake the gun until you hear the click in the video, only then can I shoot again. I’ve disassembled the gun multiple times and I’ve tried loads of things but still can not get it to fixed.
Update to the G5 EVO lower. Tapp changed some things and is almost done with it.
I can't seem to fine a flat trigger that doesn't have some sort of fancy design. Anybody know where I can find something like this? Would a real trigger shoe fit in a TM Hicapa?
Looking for information relevant to the 6mmpro Staccato P CO2 magazines. So far I havent seen any useful information. All help or advice is greatly appreciated.
I wanna buy a gas blowback rifle, what price range should I lay on? I know AEG’s tend to be more affordable but I don’t want to spend 600 dollars on a rifle unless is necessary
After enough experience with my BCM, i don’t find the VFC GBBR platform as an example to be particularly better than other non-TM GBB’s. What it could do better than a stock OEM WE Tech is have higher quality, stronger metal components that would last longer. But in terms of performance and capabilities it’s roughly the same issues. Or in some areas worse than a WE, such as hop-up inconsistency that my WE in its OEM stock or in its present full steel upgraded state never had. I was just kinda surprised by it honestly. Maybe its level of attention to detail and licensing is what makes it such a popular platform. But i don’t think it’s popular as much for its performance, which doesn’t particularly stand out.
I just think the bias stands that when a GHK, WE, Double Eagle, etc, has problems. It’s blamed inherently on the platform. Whereas when a VFC has those same issues, the response from the fanbase is that it’s just the way she goes and is expected. That they always require upgrading to just function as they should.
Quite frankly in airsoft the less realistic, the better it performs. The more you try and make it like the real deal, the less amount of consistent performance you get out of it.
I wouldn’t say VFC’s are a bad choice, i just don’t think in my experience that performance wise they are a whole lot better than other brands considered to be less reputable.
The KWA Kriss Vector. Got her lowered to 1 joule for indoor play and works amazingly with Krytac Kriss Vector mags
Hey, so as the title says, I'm looking into buying a GBBR. Problem is I don't know much about them, so better to ask.
The bugdet is up to 1000€ including mags, and upfront I'll say MWS is most likely out of the picture since it's almost nonexistent in my area. Similar story with VFC, also kinda hard to get, but I've heard good enough stories about both that I'm willing to import, if you know any sites that do international shipping.
Well that's all and in advance thx 4 help!
Are any of the members here using prowin magazines? Does anyone who uses it know what HPA nipple the prowin magazine uses?
