    Yeh and everyone please tell the brand of your gun and don't just state what gun it is and what fps it has because it's overrated. Fps plays a minuscule amount in performance compared to the other important factors such as reliability, durability, accuracy, uprgradability, etc.

    If you still think fps makes the gun then go here.

    How do you carry all your mags anyway? On a vest or in a bag? Oh and what kind of gas does the usp use?

    Muzzle Velocity: 400fps @ 2.5g 6mm bbs

    Effective range: 50'-150' (pending on the wind)

    Accuracy: I don't know if there is a standard measurement for this, but at 20' I can shoot a 2" diameter cluster 9/10 times, and a 5" cluster at 30'. That's the farthest I could test in my house (without wind).

    The gun used to be clear, but I did a custom paint job. I accidentally ended up making it illegal. :/ Oh well...

    I have yet to figure that out... They're G36C Mags... So they're a ***** to find vests for. But I do plan on getting a vest soon.

    And the USP uses Green Gas.

    Nice paint, looks nice and textury if you know what I mean.

    But saber, do you actually buy green gas? Because over here in the US it's really expensive and a better way is using propane because it's the same thing without the silicone in it. And if you want to find g36 mag pouches then just try and search you local forum classifieds for stuff. A lot cheaper than retail stores.

    Yeah, I'm buying a propane adapter. And the mags fit in standard double mag pouches. So most vests will fit them fine.

    So the mags I got are the biggest pieces of **** ever. The mag wants to double stack them, but it's so wide, that they get jammed sideways. Constantly... I've tried lubing them, double lubing them, triple lubing them... ****... I'm sick of this, I'm just going to go buy a JG M4A1...

    Usually plastic m4's are a bad thing because the receiver tabs tend to brake easily. Either try a metal one or something completely different.

    A little late to the party I guess, but I just got into airsoft a little bit ago. I've only played one game for 2 hours so far, but I thought it was a ton of fun. The airsoft field is pretty large, and me and my friends are the only ones who play there. We have pretty good guidelines for play areas too.

    The areas we usually use are TOP, BOTTOM, or TOP and BOTTOM. TOP has really heavy cover, and is more for crawling with auto's and shotguns, and BOTTOM is very good for sniping. All of this is next to a creek by the way. Here's a quick mock-up. And the pink areas aren't necessarily for non-use.

    And here it is from Google Maps.

    I worked for around five hours on it this past Wednesday, and mainly just cleaned up some spots that were used alot, but were full of branches, rocks, and whatnot. But, I also added a lot of pallet cover on TOP, a sniper Tiki Hut, a tree that's pretty thick and about 10 feet tall. And you can climb up the back and sit on top of it, which is sort of hollowed out. We grabbed a big log, stood it up, and planted a wheelbarrow on top of it.

    Sadly, my friend who introduced me to it broke his ankle the first time we played, and we had to carry him all the way out of there and had to cut it all short. But, this weekend, I'm gonna borrow his shotgun and bring it up there to play with 4 people altogether. So, at least I'll be able to play longer. :/

    Here is the shotty I will be using.

    And here is what I plan on picking up soon. (hopefully)

    I thought you can't ship metal body's into Canada? I asked you that when I wanted to buy one for my G3.

    Anyways I got my gearbox guys, it works great! I'll post pictures later.

    The shotgun is a double eagle I think and the g3 is a JG. And if you can't get a metal body are you allowed to just get an all metal gun in the first place?

    Blood, post some pics of your new gear box. What brand is it anyways? I'm guessing JG and are you planning on adding any upgrades?

    Yeah, the shotgun is a Double Eagle, and the rifle is a JLS or something. Also, here is what my friend is letting me use tomorrow.

    I remember playing airsoft. Echo 1 M4 CQB-R. I got it for my birthday mid September and played with a few friends. They said it was "fast and strong" I didn't believe them because it was an Echo 1, which were usually around 350 FPS or below. And they aren't usually fast either. I guess I lucked out. Until it broke. They said the gearbox locked up or something and the trigger fuse broke.

    I'm gonna start again, hopefully. Has anything changed since September? JG got better? Those China brands are making higher quality guns?

    They're actually getting better and better though the lemon rate is till high because of the chinese peasants not caring about the guns because they get payed $1 an hour. And nowadays with noobish new players going OMFG ITZ SHOOTING AT LIEK 400fps GUYZZ, AND SINCE FPS MEANS EVERYTHING I SHOULD BUYZ IT LOLZZZ.
    Yeh so they basically slap in stronger m110 or m120 springs for fps and it works. Even though it doesn't last long, people want fps so their guns crap out on them and most of them are too dumb to do anything about it and are rich so they dump it and buy a new one.

    What kind of sounds does your gun make anyways? It's easier to tell what happened if you say that.

    Alright, I found the one I will be picking up really soon. It's a JLS FN-2000 A.E.G. Not sure when I will get it though. Here's a pic.

    [​IMG]

    Anyways, I played again today and did some 3v2, then my friend's little brother tripped and snapped his new gun in half. We played about 7 games, but I only got one person out. The biggest problem I have is picking good spots. I can sneak to each place pretty well, but I also don't take as many shots.

    Hey guys, I got this gun to start out. It's not exactly that powerful...but the detail is good. An annoying quirk though...the magazine slips out on its own...without pressing the release. Whenever I'm running with it, or just carrying it around, it'll slide out. And when the magazine is fully loaded, I have to hold it in the gun to **** the first few shots, or else it'll start to slip out again. Anyone else have this gun/this problem?
