Cheap Airsoft Guns

Airsoft Guns time off…Taking my love for Basketball to another level.

ballisticshobby — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:13:51 +0000

Airsoft guns is a new hobby of mine but before this, it was basketball. It was rekindled while browsing through a sports facility shopping site looking for something to spruce up our empty backyard. This got me all nostalgic and brought me back to the days when I used to play basketball during Physical Education classes in my high school where an inground basketball system has been installed. My father had always encouraged me to continue with this sport, primarily because I had the built and height of a basketball player. I remember frequenting the sports shops near the city proper after school just to take a peek into the windows that held a glorious display of basketball gear. It took time and effort to look for the perfect basketball equipment and I would constantly beg to my father to buy me a pair of shoes worn by my favorite player, a jersey or even just a basketball net and a basketball so I can have my very own court in my backyard. To no avail, my father would just always tell me to make do with what I have, which is to play basketball at the school’s inground basketball system. (more…)

M4A1 Assault Rifle by JG

ballisticshobby — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:37:45 +0000

The M4A1 by JG feels like, weighs like and sounds and shoots even more better than Marui.

Even the bolt lever opens the ejection port cover and exposes the hop-up system that now works with precision, as compared with other makes or brands. The similarity in construction will never guarantee us a similarity in performance, sometimes mere difference in millimeter can largely affect performance or accuracy in the hop-up system. So as soon as you get you JG M4A1, check right away inside the hop-up system for faults or tweaks. (more…)

TM Desert Eagle Airsoft Pistol Review

ballisticshobby — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 10:54:22 +0000

Here’s my review of Tokyo Marui’s Desert Eagle Hard Kick gas blow back airsoft pistol.

The presentation of packaging is good. The box is smooth and smells good. Upon opening, you will see the manuals, the gun, magazine and BBs. The BBs packaged are a bit smaller than the ICS BBs I did purchase. The only complain I have is regarding the manual. Tokyo Marui did not even bother to have an English version of their manual. I never owned a pistol before and are not familiar with the internals. I wish Marui would print their manuals having an English translation for new pistol owners to understand their pistols work.

Quick Loans for Hobbying Emergencies

Very recently, I bumped into an old colleague who’s also an airsoft enthusiast. Apparently, he just bought the AU-2G Sniping Gun from the prestigious Jing Gong Automatic Eletric Gun Series but saw another model that he now wants desperately. I literally salivated at the price he was selling the AU-2G.

I realized though, it’s not going to be pay day anytime soon!

I checked with friends on any short-term loans I could avail of. Out of all the options I received, it was Cash Advance 1500, an online payday loans cash advance site, that caught my attention. I particularly liked the fact that lending money was done in utmost confidentiality and even in the comfort of my own home.

If you are pressed for money and do not want all the troubles of lending such as slow loan processing, embarrassment from falling in long lines at a store, being caught totally by surprise by hidden policies and bonds or even the confusion that arise with handwritten forms, online Cash Advance Payday Loans is the answer.

Hobby other than airsoft - Online Casinos

ballisticshobby — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:09:16 +0000

Nowadays, a lot of people are getting into online casinos. And a lot would like to know more information about it. They would like to know how they could win, how they can claim their winnings etc. And one of the most important questions would be which site is the best? Especially for first timers, they would of course want to know which site is the most user-friendly. Which site is the easiest to decipher. Which site is the most secured, etc. (more…)

DBOYS AKS-74U Airsoft Gun Review

ballisticshobby — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 03:42:02 +0000

I went to the shop and…
The salesclerk handed me a beautiful red box… And I know my AK is in there. I opened the box and BAM!!! AKS-74U. I love this gun!! Bin Laden loves it too!! The gun is NOT TOO SHINY; as what I have read in the forums says otherwise.
I put the gun in the chrono and… I got 390 - 393 FPS. Not bad? No. IT’S GREAT!!!

Externals
This is a really beautiful AK. The weight is just right, the receivers seem rock solid, the wood handguard is nice, and the folding stock is really solid as well. One of the best thing that I loved about this gun is the quality of the externals. It’s awesome! Zero wobbles whatsoever, rock solid construction, and still maintains a reasonable weight. (more…)

TM Detonics .45 Combat Master Review

ballisticshobby — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:30:13 +0000

Finally my order arrived last week. A brand new spankin TM Detonics 45 Combat Master. Packaging was almost similar with the TM M1911A1. Magazine has a chrome finish however does not depict the real steel counterpart which is made of matte stainless finish. The grip panels are similar of the TM M1911A1 variant and the rear grip is parkerized.

Seams are almost non-existent same as the TM 1911A1 and I would assume for the TM 1911A1 owners, they would appreciate the finish of this gas blow back(GBB). Metal parts are the lower receiver, hammer, trigger, mag release, slide lock.

One thing you will notice instantly is the location of its rear sights is set oddly forward, reducing the sight radius to a bare 4 inches. However the the combat master was not really intended as a target pistol (real steel) so I guess being a replica, it is but logical to follow the original design. (more…)

All China Made Airsoft Guns 101

ballisticshobby — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:25:26 +0000

Things you should know about China LPEGs(Low Powered Electric Guns):

CYMA - Earlier models include the CM027 MP5J and CM028S AK47. Their release for 2006 includes the CM031 which is externally a CA SLR-105 clone but internally similar to its version of the AK47 with a different hop up chamber and inner barrel. They also recently released a TM clone G18c AEP, however their products lack the quality and precision of higher end brands. They also manufacture LPEGs, which are quite popular among beginners.

JIEKE/WELL - The Chinese company that revolutionized the MPEG(Middle Powered Electric Gun) market with the release of their R5 MP5 and R6 M4A1 in mid 2005. Its gearbox and motor proved to be surprisingly durable although both guns suffer from air compression problems. They later released the R7 or M4A1 with full stock and R8 G3SAS which surprised many with its robustness and accuracy. WELL is the first company to release the TM clone of MP7 or R-4.

Double Eagle (DE) - The company that revolutionized LPEGs with its famous M83. Double Eagle has been proven to make exact copies of Tokyo Marui’s weapons with small upgrades, which results in greater durability and utility. Their version of the AK47 and Spetsnaz were met with lukewarm enthusiasm as most other Chinese companies, many unknown, were able to come up with better performing aegs. Their M50 springer rifle was quite popular and easily “upgradeable” to 400fps by simply wrapping the inner barrel and hop up chamber area with teflon tape to seal air leaks. In early 2007, Double Eagle released a version of M4 S-System (the M88) and G&G-based UMP (the M89). (more…)

Help on Buying An Airsoft Pistol

ballisticshobby — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 05:39:54 +0000

Hi, to my readers. I’m planning to buy a gbb pistol. Specifically I’m eying a TM Desert Eagle and HFC M190 w/ compensator. I want a pistol that is powerful, accurate and reliable. It would be a big plus if it can take green gas, has a metal slide and realistic trademarks.

I want the TM desert eagle for its looks, but I’ve read that it’s not that accurate and cannot take green gas for a long time. And, the HFC M190 w/ compensator for its looks, full metal and green gas ready. But the trademarks are crap. Let me know what you think about this two. Or, you can suggest other gbb’s you think is better.Thanks, guys!

Other uses for a sniper veil

ballisticshobby — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 09:35:22 +0000

BB Protection—The most obvious use for a sniper veil is to help you conceal yourself from observation. Most people use it to cover their head/face. However, if wrapped around your neck like a scarf, it helps become a flexible protection tool to bridge the gap between your BDU collar and head gear/face mask.

Mosquito Protection—coupled with a boonie hat/lousy hat, the sniper veil can be wrapped in such a way that it can form a sort of mosquito net.

Gun Wrap—Instead of getting an expensive gun wrap, wrap your sniper veil around your gun. If the terrain is high in vegetation, cut a few stalks and pin it under your sniper veil as you wind it around you gun. Instant camouflage!
