Operation Ironclads (Michigan @ Vikings)

[Hadoken]

Aah, kinda feels strange not being able to shoot you guys today. Probably because we've all been looking forward to it for quite some time now and if you're anything like me you've been planning tactics and day dreaming about the perfect shots you'll make.

Ammo990: Glad to hear you got your PSG1, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it! OOh, I'd love to own one of those!

*Hado jealous*

[SickPointe]

Grrr my XM177-E2 still isnt here!

[ammo990]

I'm glad I got my PSG1 too, but the battery is screwed up.
I had to order a new one this time i ordered from the US so I should get it by the middle of the week, along with some biodegradeable bb's.

[Unnamed]

ive heard mostly bad things about biodegradable bbs. anyone got any experience?

[Ed]

As long as you get the good kinds you shouldn't have any problems.  The bad kinds start to biodegrade too fast and they chip and flake in your clips and gun.  Then you get jams and sh!t in your barrel.  I also hear that accuracy is bad with them too.  

With all the problems I used to have with bbs I just use Tokyo Marui .25's and maybe .2's.  They are the best!  They fly strait, they give an impacting feeling when they hit and they never jam.  Of course you can only buy them from HK and they cost $10 for 2,000, but you can't compromise when it comes to bb's.

[Unnamed]

i love how you say

they give an impacting feeling when they hit

;D
if you can tell the difference between TM bb hits and other manufacturers you are much more dedicated than I am  ;D

[ammo990]

I also have .25 mauri bb's.
I got the biodegrabeable ones because the skirmish that's probably gonna be in the end of dec. will be on gov. property, I doubt they want hundreds of little bb's scattered in their park.

[Bigmack]

i use excell biodegradeable .2's....no problems...ever....never jammed on me....even when i put heavily used ones through my guns...
and if you want marui BB's.... 13 bucks a bag...at mdairsoft.com...all bags...13 bucks.

ammo990 When did your gun come? I'm still waiting and I ordered on November 7th!! Grrrrr......

[Ed]

Thanks a lot, I'll look into that.

Just a side note, Unnamed, but I can only (sometimes) tell the weight of the bb's once the hit me, not the brand.  I made the hit referance to TM bb's because TM are the only company who makes .25's.  If anyone says that they can tell the manufacturer of the bb's by the hit 'only' is prolly full of bullsh!t.  But you I sense that you knew that.

[Newman]

Haha Ed's wrong!  ;D

I only buy .25 bbs, and mine are made by Airsoft Elite!
3000 for $18 at Airsoft Atlanta!
They work awesome with my ICS MP5SD6.

[Ed]

I didn't know about those bb's.  I only buy from Overseas dealers and they don't offer "Airsoft Elite" bb's.  Don't those guys make AEG's now?

[Minky]

Excel also makes .25, along with .23.  I bought a bag of .23 off ebay to try out at the next skirmish, and I'm probably going to buy some bags of .25 from Maryland Airsoft while he has them in stock.  As soon as Unnamed pays for his gun that is ;D

[Newman]

Ed-you've been out of the loop, eh?

Airsoft Elite makes damn good MP5s, I own a technical ICS MP5, but it's marketed with Airsoft Elite.  My MP5SD6 shoots farther than Viking's M4, Ballista's M11, Hadoken's MP5SD6, and Retraw's MP5PDW.  I'm guessing they put in an upgraded spring.

Plus, it has some metal on it, Hadoken's MP5SD6 is lighter than mine.  The metal makes the infamous MP5 magazine wobble gone.

[Locutus]

"Airsoft Elite makes d**n good MP5s"

That is debatable. I have used ICS MP5s, I personally wasn't impressed. The mags were horrible, they didn't shoot well consistantly, and while they had metal recievers, you couldn't even tell it. They are good starter guns, but they are no replacements for TM.
