I know we've been with the m16 system for decades but, uh....why don't we use a bull-pup design?...i'm just thinking in terms of the overall length to barrel length ratio...what is the advantage of what we have no over the bull-pup design(except not looking like you're scratching your armpits when u reload[])

I was up at BT for the Good Friday game, and sometime during play the front sight of my KWA g19 GBB fell off...I couldn't find it amongst my gear, and retracing my steps produced nothing as well...so, what should i do??? i don't want my gun to be a front-sightless-freak, so do i HAVE to buy another metal slide/barrel (which comes with both sights and a few other little bits)? I sure hope somebody knows where i can get a g19 front sight, or at least knows some alternative to one so my gun will look and aim like it should...

I know Arizona is not host to the coldest of cold seasons, but it does get considerably cold up at BT in the winter months...I have experienced gun problems that I know are caused by the cold temperatures...(especially my GBB...) I know why the problems are happening, but I would also like to know how to prevent(or at least lessen) these problems...does anybody have any tried-and-true methods for playing with optimal gun performance in cold weather??

Well...In taking a look at a few of my friends' CA AEG's, I have notice numerous small differences.  I have the CA M15A4 Carbine and my friends have: CA M15A4 Carbine, and CA M15A4 Tactical.  First off, I looked at my friend-with-the-Carbine's AEG, and I noticed, on the inside, that his piston was black, and mine is yellow. A little bit strange considering it's the same gun.  And when I compared it to the Tactical, There were even bigger differences.  First off, obviously it has the full-stock(and the wiring for the full-stock), and that's not what i'm talkin' about.  On this AEG, the upper and lower receivers slide apart instead of hinging apart like every other armalite series weapon I've ever seen.(including TM's) Also, the gun came with a metal hop-up unit installed already out-of-the-box.  And the new armalite CA AEGs' lower receivers usually are made designed for plastic ones.  The order we bought our guns was: 1 ) my friend's carbine; 2 ) my carbine; and 3 ) my friend's tactical.  Were there changes in production that weren't announced? Or was I just outta the loop on that one? Or, another possibility, are the inconsistencies normal for AEG's?...I wouldn't think so but then again, I don't know... Oh and we all ordered them stock with no work(upgrades)done on them.  Also another note(kinda off this topic's theme) when my friend ordered his carbine, he went ahead and got the 12v 1500mah batt that comes recommended with that gun...It was supposedly made for that gun, but, when we got it we discovered it was a large connection, which didn't fit the carbine's mini-plug w/o a converter wire.  we didn't have the converter wire.  So he told me, instead of waiting, he'd rather cut off the mini connection that came with it, and have me attach a large one to the gun.  so I did, but he made a mistake in cutting the wire, because he did so north of the small plugs that connect the fuse(and extra wire length in the negative wire) to the gearbox wires.  So, now when we take his gun apart for maintenance, we can't fully remove the upper receiver from the lower receiver, and we have to work with the two pieces teathered together...not hard to work around, just a bit of an inconvenience...(sry i just had to tell that story...I find I have nothing else to do at 3:20 in the morning )

Hey guys...sorry i didn't get this post out earlier but here it is.  The game is on the 2nd and carries over to the 3rd.  It will be located at Bushnell, and the games will start at approx. 6:00P.  We are going to have a grill going and we'll set up tents near the field.  After everybody has had their fill of night games, we'll retire to our tents and sleeping bags.  In the morning we'll grill up some breakfast and play some day games...Again sorry for the short notice...We need some more to come, we have about 7 comming now...post here so i can get a roll call.

hi, i discovered AA a little while ago and i have a question...i have been playing airsoft for a little bit(i own a TM M16A2), however, i still consider myself a newbie. i am 15 years of age and a junior at Hamilton High School.  I would love to play at the next match but i am not in a team and i don't know whether there are age regulations, and if so, then can they be overturned by a parent's consent? I'd really like to play so can you help me out? I am turning 16 at the end of Sep. if i can't play now...could i play when i am 16...(the reason i have these questions is because the rules page is a little confusing about this issue)thanks, bye.
