All Activity

Man, I still regularly visit the forums after all these years. Started off on it, went off for a while, and now still coming back. The quality and pace of discussions here is still much higher than the skibidi-rizz-adhd-gooner-mogging talk everywhere else. Discord is a decent place to chat about airsoft too but you have to be more selective and in the know-how on where to go because, being the real-time chat service it is, there are quite the few special folk of all sorts that don't think before they speak.

"Permitted activities", of which only airsoft skirmishing is listed. And we could lose that at the stroke of a pen, as it's not even regulatory, let alone statutory. Uh... so, they can't sell to you under any circumstances other than by adding £5 to the price? 🤨

..and that's the trick. Curating enough content you DO like so that the other stuff is relevant not just utter rubbish.

Where it all started 30 years ago & where it restarted 3 years ago... All my first AEG's in the 90's were springers except the Famas.

This needs a swoopy scope mount.

Spoken with site admin. Apparently Google suspended the email again, and it could take a few more days to sort out the issue.

I dont think mine has any spade connectors at all tbh, ill get some photos and videos after work and post them on here

I sometimes wonder if I'm on the 'tism' scale then I see things like this, then think... Nah, I'm ok. Not a pisstake... it's a serious comment.

@ruskitsellerhit the nail right on the head about the supposed death of forums ….. often cited that social media trumps forums, in the ignorance of what social media is and how long it has been around. Social media is suggested as beginning in the late 90s and taking off in the 2000s, but was preceded by 70s chat groups & bulletin boards A forum is a place for discussion, and internet forum software provides hosts with the ability to structure them They have evolved over time with numerous features beyond their origins, but remain as structured places Social media such as Reddit may be just a bulletin board system of today, Facebook is the current flavour of systems such as MySpace, these go in waves based on the population of those environments as a generation moves on and doesn’t want their day to day social media to be fully connected to their great aunt As these forms of social media lack a clear structure there sometimes becomes a misconception that the past is the past and has gone away, until a reminder of your night of debauchery a decade ago flags up in ‘memories’, which you can choose not to reshare - or even worse your friend shares their ‘memories’ involving you - it’s fine for a chat over old times, less so when you are now management and it flashes over your profile Forums do die, but they are the place that keeps getting visited, and I do like it when someone comes up on a forum to tell the community that forums are dead so come over to my new forum

Dunno if this will help but here is what's in my stock... there's a couple of spade connectors in the stock so fitting a mosfet should be easy enough.

I heard somewhere (I think it was on a podcast so take it with a pinch of salt) that social media algorithms deliberately only give you content it thinks you want about 30% of the time. This is because if it only gave you content you're interested in most people would get bored quicker, whereas drip feeding relevant content causes a little buzz and dopamine hit when something relevant or interesting pops up. This causes users to mindlessly doomscroll for longer

It would need would probably need to be opened up to see what the issue is. You can post photos and videos here. Then we can all try to help you.

Don't suppose you'd know how to solve the etu issue would you? Or if you have WhatsApp if can send you some photos/videos over and see if it is that thats causing it?

I genuinely never thought to do that! 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ll give that a bash 👍 That would certainly help narrow things down

It probably has an ETU in it; if so, the problems that you are having may be due to that not being set up properly.

Paintball mask, but price isn't unreasonable as the pro's are ~£150

They're thick i believe mate

yeah, but r/airsoftcirclejerk is quite amusing (and occasionally absolutely hilarious). As with all social media it's about curating your own experience. I often see people complaining that their TikTok fyp is just full of porn. Mine isn't because that's not what I use the platform for. Find the content you DO want, interact with it and the various algorithms with usually (not always, granted) steer you where you want to go.

Are the wires thick and bendy or are they thin and rigid?

I'll take some photos after work and post them, it does beep when a battery is connected, but also its just two wires connected to a deans connector in the stock tube

If there is nothing in the stock tube and it is still working, albeit with a fault, buying one of those is not going to solve the problem. If you are not confident about opening the gearbox, you need to get someone to do it for you. Can you take a photo down the stock tube and post it here? When you connect a battery, does the gun bleep?
