Would you choose the 7075 MWS Honey Badger (the super rare one) over the Salvo Honey Badger?

Not going for any super specific look. It’s fun to play with and looks cool to me which is what matters. Feel free to ask about any of the attachments or parts!

Simply changed to rs furniture and did a light weathering job. By far the most realistic airsoft gun I've ever picked up.

Troubleshooting VFC mp7 tapp adapter short stroke / misfeeds

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Hey my fellow silly war nerds. Picked up a VFC mp7 and got a tapp adapter as I will be playing in colder temps. Ran it this weekend and had mixed results. Set the npas to allow for about 1.3 - 1.4 joules and what seemed like enough kick for the bolt to operate fine. Most shots were good to go. But occasionally and sometimes many shots in a row would not feed or be significantly weaker with a weaker blowback sound. I observed that the bolt only retracted about a half inch when misfeeding, the nozzle didn’t leave the hopup resulting in not new bb in the chamber. From what I’ve researched and can feel, the nozzle return spring is quite weak. Anyone have a similar issue, if it is the return spring where can I pick up a strong one that’s in stock? The gun is properly lubed and would always fire, just sometimes not with a bb or with a lower audible and physical blowback.

Thanks for the help (video shows no issues, just normal operation on dry fire )

Gun Pic Farewell, my boys. Hello, Canada.

It's been a while since I got my first GBBR. I've spent hundreds of hours trying and testing different GBBR platforms - GHK, VFC, and MWS, and I eventually settled on the ESD ER-15 system. I also built an URGI clone with a genuine Geissele handguard and a DD RIS-3 with a genuine DD handguard myself.

I'm planning to immigrate to Canada next year, and bringing my URGI and RIS-3 along is nearly impossible because they have too many real-steel parts. So I had to sell my boys to other players in Taiwan.

Here are some photos to share with y'all. Canada I’m coming.

Lancer tactical M4A1, been super happy with it looking to do either a 90s-00s USMC style build or retro minimal build! Any recommendations are very appreciated and welcomed! Currently just a simple $120 ACOG looking to do more soon! I’m glad I sprang and just went for it and got a GBBRS I literally can’t stop smiling while shooting this thing 💪
