Depends on the pistol... If its a 1911 then you need to get a little clip.

How is the ROF & FPS on that, I've ordered one for a "project" also just wondering how powerful it is?

The RoF is pretty good considering it uses a 7.2v. FPS I can't say (no chrono or coke cans) for certain but seems quite nice too, within the 270-300 range advertised. It has a range of about 30m and is quite accurate & consistant, particularly on semi. However my fiddling with the hop so far hasn't seemed to make any difference as far as I can tell.

I can't say I'm too keen on the mag though. I'm no hi-cap fan anyway but this one has a very small loading slot so can be quite slow & tricky to fill. It does feed well up to the last 12-14 rounds but thats quite a lot left in a 90rnd mag. I think I stick with the lo-caps.
The other thing is the charger is a unique one for AEPs and doesn't have a UK plug so unless you have one already you won't be able to charge it out of the box. My battery came charged however (the AH guy tested a batch to find out FPS so I guess it may be one of those) so I can at least test it.

mg34/42 basket mag, ak gearbox.

The 3/4 length leather flying/motorcycle coat arrived today.
One of the sleeves needs re-stitching, it's missing its leather belt.
sleeves are a little too short for me, BUT it does actually fit me.

All that I need for my USAS get-up now is the Officer boots.
Anyone know a good source of WW1 style high Cavalry/Officer boots. Civil War Boots has some nice boots, but they cost an arm and a leg

Oh and I've given in to temptation and bought one of these:
