Thompson queries

[mini_bini]

I am very new to airsofting, and as my first buy, I have chosen this link removed Thompson. I have some questions about it though. My first is improving the velocity. It shoots at about 190fps, which isn't bad, but there is room for improvement. I am aware that simply replacing the spring with a heavier duty one can sometimes cause a lot of problems with the rest of the guns, so does anyone know whether that will happen with this particular gun if I increase it to about 250 fps [or any recommended velocity]. My second is magazines. I simply don't know what I'm looking for when searching for magazines for this particular gun. I have found a few different types of Thompson ammo, but I do not know whether any of them will be compatible with this particular type. So could anyone link me a magazine type that will fit [UK please] it, or just give me more info about it?
Thanks in advance

Re: Thompson queries

i wouldn't say thats a very skirmishable gun at such a cheap price it'll mostly be cheap plastic and monkey metal parts if your lucky in the gearbox not to mention the only use high grade .12 bbs, keep saving up and try and buy a better gun second hand

Re: Thompson queries

yep, as the jester said, you try and modify that and it will break, pure and simple, pot metal and plastic, its a toy mate, the only similarity to an airsoft aeg thompson, is that it fires round balls.

Re: Thompson queries

and all airsoft AEG's use 6mm BB's regardless.

Re: Thompson queries

Haha ok thanks for the advice guys! But here's my situation, I don't have a license, so I need to buy 2-tone, but the thing is i can't find any 2-tone Thompsons for sale in the UK. Can anyone link me?

Re: Thompson queries

No, not unless it's on the Zero One shelves. A wee check of the rules before you post is always a good idea.

Re: Thompson queries

Re: Thompson queries

dont forget you have to be over 18 to purchase two-tones

So you may as well just play your three games, get your site membership, qualify for he defence etc and then you can purchase a RIF

Oh, and it's not a licence......
