Should more sites weigh the bbs during chrono?
Rogerborg replied to JVacation's topic in General Discussion
"locked" Spot checking, in the field, with site BBs. Good on you for doing that. More sites should, because anything else is chrono theatre, a way for players to find out if we're likely to fail in-game testing. Most players aren't going to be a problem, so most spot checks will be fine. But there are going to be some rogues, and the goal should be to identify and eject them. If everybody could be trusted, then chrono wouldn't be necessary, right? I mention the Depot as I was spot checked there, and they punted one of their marshals for running hot. I even saw the site runner getting checked by his own marshals once in game - although presumably he'd have had to pick himself up by his own collar and... uh... toss himself off. -
I don’t have a choice, its for a stag do 🤷♂️ It’s right near me too, had no idea it was there! Well I guess if it’s as bad as you as say then a little suffering is good for the soul 😂😂

Every time I go to a larger event with a large group and nobody is using comms for the whole weekend apart from the people who have their PTT in a bad spot and are constantly hot mic-ing 🤣

Nah, you're fine. 11.1V can get a little spicy[*], but 7.4V is spot on for CYMAs and most other toys. [*]

In truth nothing is foolproof. I've been to places that give you ammo, tag your RIF etc but there would be nothing stopping me turning up an NPAS or similar in the field. I played first time round about 20 years ago, then got back into it recently, and I've never been spot-checked in the field. The only thing I've ever seen that was lairy was at DogTag last summer: a guy chronoed as a DMR (he was right in front of me in the queue), then in the field I clocked he was firing full-auto. I told a marshall, they spoke to him and reported back to me that he had turned off the semi-lock on his mosfet. They sent him home instantly. I do some marshalling at a site in the SE when I'm free and often run the chrono. Do the same checks in the chrono, tag the RIFS (and regs for HPA) then eyeball everyone out of the safezone to make sure everything is marked up. When I go out into the gaming area, I take a chrono out in my pocket and I have spot-checked people. I've yet to come across anyone doing anything silly like adjusting power post-chrono. -

Thanks guys was worried there was something in it that would turn me lipos into fucking grenades or something so that's my mind well eased. I run a 7.4 in everything else but was just being extra cautious with the new toy

Nobody said it was illegal to buy, or to own, a RIF. It's an offence to sell, to import (or cause to be imported), or to manufacture a RIF, or to modify an IF into a RIF. The same offence applies to everyone. The same defences apply to everyone. In practice it's simply not enforced on anyone, retail or private, anywhere except at point of entry to the UK. But this isn't Facebook or Reddit where confidence and VOLUME hold sway. In the law section here, we cite and discuss statutes, regulations and case law.

Yes, totally agreed with spot checking. Especially with the transition from a cool morning to a warm/hot afternoon, I have seen some GBBR users go above the limit in the spot check despite passing the chrono test. There was one HPA user who gave a marshal a bit of grief over being asked to ensure his regulator was locked when the marshal noticed it hadn't been after passing him on the test. -
Nope, it comes with (or at some point came with) a NIMH battery, as some CYMAs do. Bin it and go to 7.4V lipo, there's no reason to use steam powered tech.
-
I can't think why you can't run a LiPo as long as it's a 7.4V. You can run 11.1V on an AEG without a MOSFET/ETU though you run a higher risk (not a guarantee) of needing to rebuild or service your gun more regularly. I use a LiPo exclusively on one of my 20+ year old AEGs that doesn't have a MOSFET/ETU since its NiMh batteries lost most of their charging capacity years ago. Personally, I recommend LiPo over NiMH every time as long as you use a balance charger and keep an eye on your batteries when they're charging.

Sites should be chronoing with their own BBs, not trusting players at all. They should also be checking that some hop is applied, and spot checking in-game, given how easy it is to increase power with springs, gas or regulator adjustments. But that would require preparation to maintain a selection of speedloaders, and to tell players to leave room in their mags. Most sites don't even check tags during the day, let alone actual muzzle energy. There are some very rare exceptions, like the Depot, demonstrating that it can be done when the site runner and marshals actually care. -

In very good condition for surplus gloves, don't expect pristine condition though. Got lucky with the surplus lottery on this one. They are size 9, so I think it's size L, but do your research aswell of course. Any questions please ask. £23 posted.£23

Whether you think it's good or bad, sites will test to what their insurers require of them. Your proposed chrono test can still be cheated by players testing with X weight ammo but playing with a heavier weight where joule creep would fail the test. There's no logistically fool-proof test so trust is a key part of the process. If the chrono test passes a player who then gets caught in play above the joule limit, that liability is on the player as they can be prosecuted for assault with a hot weapon. -

I'd be ok with it, for no reason other than as far as i've ever seen there are only 2 types of comms you'll get in a skirmish: 1. People who forget they have radios and hardly ever talk 2. People that announce every single little thing they're doing like they're narrating a minecraft lets play And in both cases i suspect you wont get much information that can be used to your advantage. As for milsims, unless part of the sim is specifically targeted as "we're pretending we have military grade encrypted comms" i'd also see it as fair game.

That's not true. If you turn up to the chrono and say you are using a 0.2g; the fps limit will the be 350 with joules at 1.13j and that's what the person doing the chrono will be checking. If you have a mag of 0.32g instead which is firing at 350 fps the joules is at 1.82j Unfortunately it happens -

Ahoy hoy guys quick question. Picked up a lovely cyma rpk recently (https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-052-rpk-74-folding-stock) now on its patrol base page it reccomends a nimh battery. My question is, is there any legitimate reason I shouldn't run a small lipo in it instead, or should I be A okay? Thanks in advance for any help here's a picture of AK Khajit

CTCSS Just sets a squelch tone to send your transmission, it can still be listened to you just can't transmit unless you have the same tone, but even then some devices can show you the tone that transmission is set to
