Four Main Rules of Firearms Safety

Before handling an airsoft gun or real firearm, remember, and remind those around you about these rules.

  • 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.

Please message the mods if something is broken or wrong.

Can you switch between different gas mags on a pistol

Could you use a mag with green gas if you found a proper magazine to fit it on a pistol that uses c02 mags

Need help! question about buying gear

im playing german polizei based kit. I found a webshop which sells full-body-protection gears. What worried me the most is that a couple of friend want these kits too so they ask me to help them buy. But how many times i can buy those things? will that be very suspicious if i continuously buying quite "police - look - aliked" tactical gears online? Btw, im worrying because i thought this gear looks so similar as the gear that police are now equipped. waiting a German native im Kommentarbereich 😬

Radio Nonsense

So I got two Baofeng UV-5RM radios for Christmas for airsoft (me and a buddy), and I want to know what license I should get to be able to use these legally. I have no prior experience with radios, but I've heard GMRS or Tech license. If I get one of these, which freq/bands/whatchamacallits can I use? Any advice strongly appreciated!

Polarstar micro gen 2 regulator problem?

I have the polarstar micro reg 2 and its a really good unit but I need the psi to be a bit higher but when I raise the psi it seems to top off at around 135 psi mark. It seems that the screw is also bottoming out. I feel like this is not normal as in the past ive been able to increase past the 135 mark no problem. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

5KU Parts question

So I saw that 5KU parts have the Zenitco branding on them and I know Zenitco is technically banned from US Import, if I ordered them, will they get seized by customs like the real Zenitco parts do?

Hi CAPA mags

Hey yall so I have a hi capa Tm what do yall think are the best mags to invest in cause the ones I have keep leaking and i actually do my best on the maintenance on them and the rings and I’ll still have matches where I get my stuff ready and I’ll have no gas so I’m still very new to airsoft. But I’ve gotten very fond of the hi capas but the mags I have just seem to be my biggest issue they seem unreliable so what do you guys and gals use and happy new year!

Help me convince my friend to buy anything but a lancer v.4

Hey, I've got a friend looking to get into airsoft, I told him "get a cyma plat and I'll do your tech work" then he said "but the lancer tactical is cheaper"

So I've argued with him for days and I'm losing it. Does this just have to be a lesson hard learnt?

Green Gas or Propane

I want to really ask this but does propane degrade (because of the smell) o-rings in gas guns? I literally only hear that at my shop in my state and it has deterred me from using Propane and driving 25minutes to spend $45 on green gas. Please save my sanity and my wallet and someone give it to me straight.

Upgrading interest

I know im gonna get told to look at the v2 gearbox guide, but i cant find anything on my specific situation. I have a specna arms c19/ core series mk18. I'd like to make a decent trigger response build, I have a maple leaf bucking and omega nub inside as of now but what should I add first that will increase trigger snappiness that I can have inside by itself with other stock parts for a while? I have no teching experience and play cqb so goal fps is a little less than 380
