Double Eagle M904E
Excellent replica made by the DOUBLE EAGLE house, part of the M904 Series. This Series aims to provide good quality replicas at affordable prices. The replica is almost entirely made of quality Nylon (body, ris m-lok, grip, stock ....), while remaining very robust and above all very light. There are also numerous metal parts (external barrel, stock tube, flame extinguishers and other small details) that do not negatively affect the weight of the replica itself, making it an ideal light, compact, robust and reliable game weapon.
The replica is equipped with screen-printed logos (including the unique serial number), a beautiful retractable stock in 4 positions, useful flip-up folding rear
sights, a very comfortable AMBIDEXTROUS fire selector, a functional straight trigger and of an anti-slip handle.
The mechanics include a Ver.2 metal GearBox with metal gears for maximum reliability, reinforced cylinder head and piston, 8mm bearing bushings, quick spring release, metal bearing spring holder and particular electronic board called FALCON with integrated mosfet for motor and battery protection.
The replica, thanks to the installed Falcon electronic board, can be programmed to fire single shot or double shot in SEMI mode and can also be programmed in full AUTO, to create controlled bursts from 1 to 5 shots. Through the card it is also possible to adjust the sensitivity of the trigger in 3 modes.
My Double Eagle M904E
Although it didn't need it, I have done a fair few mods to my Double Eagle, just to get the most power from it thats possible (and legal in the UK)
The first thing I did was change the spring. Now I couldn't find any specs that said what spring was inside already, but I figured it would be a weeker spring such as an M95 or
something along them lines. I decided to go as high as I dare, which in this case was for an M110 spring. I took it to a site to get in chronode.
Now bare in mind, it's pretty decent out the box, about 280/290 FPS on a 0.2 bb. The new spring took it up to around 315/320 FPS. This was better, but I still wanted more!
The next, easiest mod I did was to change the barrel. Once again there was nothing to say what was inside from factory, so went with the most common, but best upgrade I could, a 6.02
tight bore barrel.
Now this didn't do a lot to the FPS, maybe upped it by about 5 FPS, but the most noticable change was accuracy. Again out of the box it was good for around 30-50 meters, but with the
tight bore barrel, and the added power from the spring, it was accurate to a T, at around 130-150 meters!
Now this type of RIF is more for CQB (Close Quarter Battle) but with the added power and accuracy, it definetly made a difference on larger, open field games. Being able to pick off
targets at a greater distance, really made a differnce to my game play.
The only other internal mod I am going to be doing is changing the motor to a higher RPM, so it goes from BLAPBLAP to BRRRRRRRrrrr!
As for the rest, its all external mods, such as the short hand grip at the front, the red dot site and the Acetech Blaster Tracer Unit. I also desinged and 3d printed a belst clip carry
mount so I can holser the RIF to take the weight off my arms/hands if I need to.

G&G CM16 R8-L
In terms of design, the CM16 R8-L AEG features a quad, free-float rail system on the hand-guard as well as a top rail which extends across the top of the receiver.
G&G has definitely given players a lot of rail real estate to mount scopes, lights, or whatever other accessory they prefer.
The battery is stored inside a multiple position crane
stock and, when fully extended out, the gun measures roughly 30 inches in length! Additionally, the AEG package includes a cantilever red dot sight which,
while not super high-end, is fine for a typical airsoft game, although it does seem to have a fair bit of parallax effect if viewed from off-center.
One again you can see that I have done some mods to this beast, as Im not one for keeping things standard!
The most obviose thing I have done is added a scope and a hand rail that I designed and 3D printed myself. Also as an added "cool thing" I 3D printed a Red Airsoft badge to go on the side.
Also I have added 2 of the 3 Way Rail Mount to the top rail to sit the scope on.
Internally I have only modded a couple of things. One being the inner barrel, again to a 6.02 tight bore, also slightly longer than the original, to give it more accuracy at longer range.
Another mod is a spring change again,
to add a bit more power. The last thing is the motor, I put a high torque motor in instead of a high RPM, to add more power.
There may be more things I do in the future with this as the plan is to turn it into a DMR Rifle, semi auto only, and an FPS of around 400 ish. But thats in the future so for now it runs
well, and is super accurate to around 200 meters! after the scope is dialled in of course.

WE SIG P226 GBB Pistol
Now this is a proper piece of kit! The WE SIG P226 is a full metal GBB pistol that was designed from the seen in
in use by the British Army and the SAS. Its full metal body and plastic grips give this pistol a realy sence of realism, with its weight and feel.
Its power is perfect for the side arm of a sniper who wants something super reliable, powerful but small enough to not cause a
hindrance. It's also super accurate and also very easy to use.
This was the first piece of airsoft equipment that I (Twitch) ever purchased many, many years ago.
It has been my most reliable piece of kit, with only one part breaking, and thats after years of use. (the loading nozzle).
Luckily however, there are many replacement parts avaliable for this.
It has been a real joy using this over years and I don't think its one I will ever
give up or get rid of. I have made my one a bit more personal by giving the grips a paint job.
As you can see, I went for a 'hydro dip' paint job effect so it's different on both sides.
This also has a rail on the underside, perfect for attaching a tourche or laser.
I purchased it from Socom Tactical, again many years ago, but they still sell it so it
has definetly shown its popularity and reliability.
