    it was an obvious overkill comment. i didnt mean for it to be taken literally. just a comparison between the glock and the m11 as backups. you think i'd actually fire 50 rounds into someone at point blank range?

    oh and that other ehobby asia site seems to just be a backup gear store. its been open since 2004. sure its even called "ehobby asia combat gear store"

    i think if they were going to add airsoft guns to it it would have happened by now. maybe they'll just reopen the other one?

    is there much of a price difference between the full and semi only versions?

    http://www.speedytoys.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=253

    HFC M92F. i think ill buy one of these when i get the money. has a full auto feature. although i doubt id ever use it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,518 ✭✭✭[--SC(+)PE--]


    the semi auto is $82 on gunner and wgc while the fullauto is $105 [both fullmetal] or their abouts ,its not a big difference but might be the difference between me getting an extra mag straight away or making do without.

    so, semi with an extra mag or full auto with no extra? hmm..i think id stick with semi. although, you wont have an aeg will you? ...interesting. then maybe auto pistol will be your friend

    quite the dilemma isnt it [since im kinda steering away from the mac 11 i just might go with something thats fullauto]
    Il probably get a pair eventually ;)

    Where you gonna get all the gas for these? Unless you buy it in massive quantities. It ships by ground mail only which can take weeks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,518 ✭✭✭[--SC(+)PE--]


    England ,im in no rush

    wolfarmouries does three bottles for the price of two. takes a week and a half to deliver. anyway, im going for the propane adapter. a lot of people seem to be doing this. and no, it doesnt break guns :P, if you use it properly. the top of the nozzle comes off and you can pour some silicone oil into the bottle, so it basically becomes green gas, minus the nice smelling crap.

    nice order! so you put an extra mag on even after full auto? big spender :D

    ah stop temping me with links! lol. i worked out, a Famas, large 8.4v battery, charger, high cap mag and postage would only cost around the €230 mark.

    thats not too much of a dent in my grant

    now to just convince my mother to let me buy a third airsoft gun with her credit card. eeek. this is gonna be a tough one


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,518 ✭✭✭[--SC(+)PE--]


    lol.
    *sigh* i still need to go and spend moneys on other bits now like silicon some kit and a rifle bag and im looking around for the best place to get gas hmm
    o yes ill be needing 1 of those nifty shell pouches for my shoty arrgg.


  • Registered Users Posts: 34,609 ✭✭✭✭o1s1n

    i was looking out for a rifle bag myself. saw some nice camo ones on ebay a while back. didnt cost much either.

    seriously, i dont want to sound like salesman for the propane adapter, but it seems too good to be overlooked.

    check this out
    http://www.unconventional-airsoft.com/information/adapter/adapter.php.htm

    http://www.airsoftcommunity.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=18480

    there was an excellent thread talking to the guy who invented the product. he posted up a lot of the data he came up with while researching into what exactly green gas is made up of. if i find it i'll post it up.

    the end result basically says,
    green gas = propane + silicone oil + some smelling agent.

    ive come to the conclusion that is it totally ridiculous to import green gas for €12 a bottle when i can just walk over to tesco and buy some propane for a fraction of the price.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,518 ✭✭✭[--SC(+)PE--]


    im going read up on it now cos to be perfectly honost i dont no squat about gas at the moment :o

    well, the one thing to make sure with gas is, if you're using green/propane, make sure your gun is strong enough for it! :D

    turn the mag and the bottle upside down to fill it. smaller mags 3 seconds, larger ones 5-6. some sites say to fill it in bursts.

    oh, and for the love of god, dont go putting a lighter to the end of the gun. looks cool, not safe in the slightest lol

    oh, and there have been cases of green gas containers exploding due to heat temperatures in cars. they are made from really thin alloy. not nearly strong enough for holding propane

    also, it might seem like a good idea to empty the gas out of the mag when you're done by pressing the valve down. dont do this, it can damage the o rings...just empty the gas by shooting it (a bit more annoying then it sounds)
    oh and to prevent leaks in future, when you're finished, put a one second squirt of gas into the mag.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,518 ✭✭✭[--SC(+)PE--]


    well everywere ive read bout my soon 2 be sidearm says that it can take green gas all year round pretty much. im reading bout that propane do-hicky at the moment but the main site is down. Do you have this thing for your mac11 r or u considering gettin it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 34,609 ✭✭✭✭o1s1n

    that site has been down for about three weeks. thats the main reason i havent gotten one yet.

    the older adapter had a short nozzle, which was hard to fill a mac 11 mag with. for some reason their nozzle reciever thingy is set a bit deeper then normal mags. actually i find it a bit tricky to fill it with a normal green gas bottle. the new adapter out at the moment has a longer nozzle though. so im just waiting for the site to come back online and then ill order one. then i'll be off to tesco to buy a big bottle of propane :)

    im getting one mainly because the mac11 goes through so much gas. its actually ridiculous


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,518 ✭✭✭[--SC(+)PE--]


    looks very promising so it does.And i realy wasnt looking forward 2 buying some expensive gas from england tbh.
