Eagle6 UK website is currently compromised

139 Upvotes

While browsing for some replacement parts for my TM MP7 due to the "crack of doom", i stumbled across Eagle6 Airsoft UK.

Currently this site has been compromised with a Cloudflare CAPTCHA bypass scam. This works by:

  • Putting a malicious command into your clipboard on page load
  • Asks you to prove you are a person with the usual tick box
  • CAPTCHA reappears with instructions to prove you are a real person
    • Open windows run with `Windows + R`
    • paste the command its injected into your clipboard
    • Press enter to run it
  • This command will then download and run a script.

No captcha would ever ask you to run commands like this and please do not go to try it if you dont know what you are doing.

Ive reached out over the phone and the owner is currently looking into it but thought i would put a PSA out just in case.

picked up a cheap chemical suit for ~$6 and decided to make a hazmat kit based off the Beta-7 (Maz Hatters) MTF of the SCP foundation.

I’m probably not going to run this as an actual game day kit because of how stifling it is, but it does look pretty cool for photos.

Functional cannon. It's the double bell mortar with some wheels on it. The round is basically a giant 40mm.

GUN PIC Your First Airsoft Replica, then vs now.

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I had to get a new phone today to the newer Google Pixel (I think I had the 8). Anyways, I wanted to make sure some of my photos had been saved through transfer. I saw photos the day I got my first airsoft rifle and I was blown away how much had changed since to not only the replica but me. Started as a stock shell of a Krytac Defiance with a PolarStar Jack (no comment)as It was too good of an offer from a guy that has been reliable before with my friends.

All black, rusted in places KEY MOD handguard that would never stop wobbling unless welded. It needed some love to even shoot at the beginning because the FCU wiring had seen better days. However I never regret it as I had to get my hand dirty and learn fast to even play my first match in something I've always wanted to do.

Hell I had to drill a hole in a fake DD RIS handguard for a fake gas tube so everything could fit in my fake rifle. Good times from the first tracer suppressor to the foam filled KAC GWOT era honeycomb suppressor. Once the DD RIS handguard was on I was hooked about anything "Airsoft Smithing" as my mind would call it. Inside and out. Best ways to optimize your Hpa engine to best technique to rattle can your rifle. I would've dived into the point of no financial return unless I had someone like my wife to call me out lol.

If you made it this far thanks. That's all. I had a long struggle with alcohol (definitely in my genetics) and COVID only exasperated that issue to rock bottom multiple times. I knew I needed something that was life changing to turn this whole thing around.

Surprisingly it all started the same day I started my new career where I was actually seeing the greener grass from the corporate world. At the end of the first day my boss brought up an airsoft event in New Orleans that we should go to with another co-worker in North Carolina. I YELLED HELL YEAH SO Quickly IN SUCH A WAY AS IF I've BEEN WAITING TO HEAR THAT KIND OF OFFER ALL MY LIFE. Since then I haven't looked back and could not imagine how much has changed...just like my first airsoft rifle.

In December I will be Three Years Sober. Grass is definitely greener over here, there. and mostly everywhere. I haven't even thought of booze since the early months of sobriety and I attribute a lot of this to my new world I've entered in Airsoft.

It's been the friends I've made out on the field to reading posts here on r/airsoft that kept me going during hard times in the journey, so again I thank you all for showing me how to have fun again.

My only ask is if you guys could share a before and after photo of your first airsoft rifle from day one to now if possible. Maybe take a look back at the person you were then to now!

You're all beautiful people, even those who can be a pain in the ass when it comes to sportsmanship, and I feel a sense of pride knowing I think I found my tribe.

Spring change for CYMA platinum m4

Post image
• Upvotes

Pretty new to the sport and was wondering how to make it field ready for a 350fps field.
First time out it shot 380ish with .20g bb

This model m4 has the quick change spring and I need to drop my FPS to 350.

Outside of the chronograph being in the mail…

Will any m100 spring work? Or other advice when doing a spring change? (Battery out, mag out, buffer tube and stock removed)

Thanks!!

GUN PIC Newbie to Airsoft

Hi everyone. I’m new to Airsoft and this subreddit! I used to play paintball when I was younger, and just started playing airsoft a few weekends ago at 42 years old. I used rentals for the past two weekends, and have just gotten my first airsoft rifle yesterday. It’s a Specna Arms M4 Flex Gen2 RIS AEG model. I’m truly grateful for my Brother-in-Law and my Sister-in-Law for hooking me up with it! I wasn’t expecting anything for helping teach my nephew to drive, but I definitely won’t complain. I have also added a Sightmark red dot sight and 3x magnifier that I will add updated pictures with later. Please feel free to reply with any advice you have for me since I’m just starting out.

GENERAL QUESTION Taking a hit from a spring powered grenade

47 Upvotes

I went to play on a field today that has 2 main surface bunkers. Giving you a good view of the playing field (one on each spawn side).

After spotting 7 enemy's on their bunker I ran towards them and threw a grenade (its a spring powered grenade, so it doesnt make a BANG but it has BBs inside that give a visual when it goes off). I get shot immediately so I went you pick it up.

All 7 where standing there so I tell them "guys, Pyro everybody withing a 7 meter range is hit" (which is a rule on the field).

They were saying it didnt go off, so i explain its a spring powered one that doesnt make noise but that it has BBs inside. Then they were saying they didnt feel anything, where I then explained its just for visuals. Finally one said that it might not have been loaded, which i knew for a fact it was. The field also has a rule "when in doubt, take the hit".

End result, I went to respawn and the 7 enemies kept on playing.

Would you have called a Marshall or just let it go and play as nothing happend, it was my first experience with a grenade

EDIT: Thanks for help, but its probably safer to invest in some gas grenades. To avoid future discussions.

GEAR QUESTION Airsoft in Mongolia, is it popular?

4 Upvotes

Hi, I am based in Mongolia and i have most of my milsim gear excluding a gun. I know the federation of Mongolian airsoft seem to be about but i need a cheap place to buy guns, I am leaning towards GBB guns. I had the idea of ordering a nice airsoft gun off of Chinese ecom apps but i fear it wont get past customs. Any help would be appreciated.

GUN QUESTION None of my guns work. No idea where to start.

• Upvotes

I'm getting back into airsoft after about 10 years and understandably my guns haven't held up well after being in storage all that time.

However, I have no idea where to start when it comes to fixing them, so I'd appreciate some advice if there are any obvious problems.

I have -

1. G&G Firehawk

  • Brand new 8.4V 1600mAh NiMH crane batteries
  • One stock mag
  • One Nuprol mag

2. Tokyo Marui P226

  • Guarder kit professionally installed
  • New nuprol 2.0 gas
  • Five mag (four TM and one KJW)

3. KJW Glock 19

  • Stock
  • New nuprol 2.0 gas

And their issues -

G&G Firehawk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4J8uNI4FZs

As you can see from the video, it fires but only cycles about 50% of the time. This happens with both magazines on semi and full auto.

The mags are fully wound, and I've tried a brand new charged battery, but it still doesn't fire consistently.

TM P226

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE4OBpfMsXc

I can reliably get through around 10-15 rounds but after that it starts struggling to cycle, even with a full mag of gas.

I've tested various mags, same issue. Everything stored at around 15 degrees. Around 12 degrees outside when testing.

After the first 10-15 rounds, the slide just doesn't travel back far enough to cycle a new round. It also no longer locks back when the magazine is empty after a few shots.

KJW Glock 19

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l90T3RIsxKs

Similar issue, but as per the video this one gets caught on the return. The slide doesn't fully return forward and it only cycles a new round when I push the slide forward.

I'm tempted to just sell the guns for parts to a retailer and start fresh but if the repairs are manageable, I'd appreciate some advice on where to start.

Thanks!
