Cool. Do you have to wind the mid-cap mags to feed bb's through like you do on hi-caps?

Re: Thoughts on P90?

Re: Thoughts on P90?

Just keeping people up to date with my P90 experience...

So far I've upgraded it with a madbull 6.03mm tightbore barrel, a G&P metal frame and stainless metal bushings from tornado.

The tightbore instantly made it more accurate as you could tell by the much closer groupings with target practice. It also went up from 290 to 295 FPS after this simple upgrade - all it took was a quick pull old barrel out, line up the rubber seal and hop-up the right way round, slot it in and done. Easy!

The metal frame was worth the money methinks because of the more realistic weight and durability. The flash hider/silencer adaptor did need glueing in though to stop it falling out. And the area where the hop-up fits into didn't have a slot to stop it moving around in before sliding the frame onto the main body. Once on the main body however the hop-up barrel assembly is nice and snug so it's not a problem. Oh and the spring button assembly (for taking the frame off and on) needed filing down before it could fit into the metal frame ok. The sort of things you'd expect from doing a bit of upgrading I think.

The metal bushings didn't make any noticable difference to performance but it's just reassuring to have metal ones in rather than plastic for durability. The gear box is quite simple to take apart with practice - just watch out for the spring that might fly out! Definately worth having the TM gear box pictures in front of you before reassembling to make sure it's all in alright. I put just one washer on the wrong cog and it blew the fuse (don't know how some guys out there do without the fuse as it could have wrecked the whole gearbox!) last night.

Whilst I'm on the subject, Halfords was the best place to get fuses from (glass 15amp fuses) surprisingly as no one else in town sold them!

I've also bought a long-type silencer. It does quieten the shot sound down a bit which is a surprise considering the amount of silencers I've seen that don't do a thing, but of course with the gear box next to your ear you may think it still sounds loud - it may not to others. Also thought it'd be useful for firing from the hip as the extra length given by the barrel will make it easier to quickly judge firing angle - will have to test this one!

Also got a cheap box mag from Hong Kong. Only $29 compared with the $100 laylax one! It doesn't come with a wire and bag so you can house a large battery in front of the box but you can easily buy a bag and wire it yourself and save a fortune!

It really is the best CQB gun I've come across, and I've tried plenty now. So quick around corners, is nice and short and has no sticky-out bits to get caught on things, you can get closer to the ground for the same reason, easy to swap to left-handed for going round corners (with practice!), the lo-cap mags hold plenty of rounds etc etc

Despite what others say I still like the red-dot sight simply because it does its job well.

The low-cap (60rd) mags work brilliantly as others have said and so does the box-mag which is great for the outdoors as a kind of suppressing weapon.

All I want now is some of those new silverback 150rd mags (just like the lo-caps so no wind-up is needed and they don't jam!) and some bloomin' pouches to put some mags in...

I really am a happy man with this gun. My mates are fed up of me talking about it ha ha!

Right enough for now...

Re: Thoughts on P90?

Their ok in my opinion, but i find they are far too short to use! Its like using an MP5 with the stock folded!
