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.

Can't decide which combo use this Sunday.

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.

North East Uzi magazine parts?

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 :)

How can I reduce wear when using C02?

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.

Maruyama smc 9 pro

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?

VFC Umarex Walther PPK/S GBB Kit Full Metal Unboxing

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

Trigger help on Vfc mp7

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.

1911/2011 trigger shoe

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?

Unpopular Opinion on VFC GBBR’s?

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.

Seeking recommendation

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!
