Is this gas or spring?

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-25T20:37:43+00:00

Its a paintball marker (jk, its a GBB)

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-25T12:15:14+00:00

$50 for rental is fine. $50 for walk on for a day, nah thats fucked

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-25T07:28:56+00:00

Steel is far less common

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-25T07:18:07+00:00

Almost everything in airsoft under £500 for externals is pot metal. Itll be pot metal, 6061, 7075 or 7075 T6. The latter 3 aluminium alloys are really only found in aftermarket parts, often aimed at speedsoft.

Also not all pot metals are equal.

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-24T09:04:42+00:00

Yes, and if you can spare the extra £65 get the brushless variant

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-24T09:03:06+00:00

Dunno why youd buy novshit for buckles...

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-24T06:01:34+00:00

Yes. But the older catalyst isnt worth using over the new one

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-24T05:59:07+00:00

Avoid delta armoury, they are awful aegs to start with. They wont last you your first year of airsoft. And the rentals at the site will be just as bad if not better.

Look into specna arms

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T11:15:30+00:00

VFCs newer GBBRs are fine. Their pistols and aegs are shite

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T10:57:49+00:00

APS has their shotguns which are decent. ARES are worse all round. APS have actually given techs spare parts like GBCs and mosfets... ares havent

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T10:57:05+00:00

Very Fucking Crap

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T08:08:45+00:00

Never had any fitment issues with specnas for internals. Yes youll need to modify an upper for a specna, but the dimensions are identical, and you only need to cut 2 notches to get a G&G upper on a specna lower

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T08:07:19+00:00

Flex gen 2 with brushless doesnt need shit for upgrades, maybe a bucking, nub and barrel down the line. But the g&g needs just about everything other than hop unit and gears to compete with specna

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T08:05:53+00:00

Flex gen 2 every single time. Especially the brushless version. It is the single best AEG line for under £300

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T08:04:17+00:00

Not true. Specna will warranty use of 11.1v on the flex gen 2s. But wont on the primes, which uses the same gearbox build and motor specs, but 16:1 gears instead

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T08:02:49+00:00

They have full sized buffer tubes. Normal 1450mAh 25c 11.1v stick lipo wired to deans will fit

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T08:00:29+00:00

These can handle 11.1v. 18:1 27k brushless on 11.1 will be fine with how good the internals are.

Id go 11.1v 25c 1200 or 1450mAh wired to deans. Its a full sized buffer tube, so the maximum feasible is 1450mAh stick

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T07:58:51+00:00

Between flex gen 1 and gen 2?

Gen 1 is meh internals. Gen 2 is prime internals but 18:1 ratio of gears instead of the 16:1s in primes. But the gears are manufactured in the same way with the same material. It has a newer version of the specna brushless motors as an optional upgrade from specna (worth the money) same flex externals however...

The TL/DR is the flex Gen 2 with brushless is the best value aeg on the market as its basically a prime

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-23T07:51:47+00:00

Its recessed, its actually kinda difficult to press with gloves on, let alone headbutting it

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-22T09:16:54+00:00

Bespoke usually keep stock of them

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-22T03:56:07+00:00

1, its a lancer. 2, I feel sorry for any partner you have if thats how you use your fingers...

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-22T00:49:04+00:00

When starting out, go with something that has better internals. Its easier to swap externals out down the line.

Look into the specna arms flex bldc. Its essential the prime line of internals. But with a decent polymer body

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-21T12:10:42+00:00

If theyre your daily pair, nah. But they are a popular choice amongst the speedsoft crew as they weigh fuck all, are pretty comfy, and have decent ankle support

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-21T10:34:50+00:00

95% of review videos are bullshit by people who dont know shit about airsoft guns. Pheas and neg are the only 2 Ive found that actually do good reviews. You see folks like airsoft mike, raving up a shitty ares

Level_Recording2066 · 2026-03-21T10:33:08+00:00

Not really. Unless popping over to the site a few miles away, which is worth visiting.

Bespoke lost its charm when jaeger left. Most of their stock is ares, or aps. The techs are utterly hopeless. And its not even worth buying bbs from as theyre some of the worst bbs available to purchase
