As they're seemingly becoming unobtanium, bought another Large size Nuprol Hard Case for the Scar, as it won't fit in any of my existing ones because its marginally too long.

I think the whole point of it was ML made so many VSR upgrade parts, that they just up and made a rifle with all the bits installed as standard, so I doubt there is much left to upgrade. Fluted barrel is indeed the deluxe model.

Mate they keep telling you this: you can't chrono Joules. If someone walks up to the chrono, says they're shooting .28s, then the fps is 240 the marshal chuckles and says, "it's running a bit low innit?" It's not like it's unheard of for a gun to shoot at 1J or even less. Not everyone has RIFs tuned to 0.00001J below the limit. You might pick the odd cheater out with this interrogation, but you'll "catch" 50 kids with two tone shitters for every actual cheater, and hold the chrono queue up for an hour.

its combination joules and weighing bbs, joules is the constant if the site limit for full auto aeg is 1.2 j and someone Chronos 1.2 j but the fps is 240 and they said the bb weight is 0.28 they lying cos a 0.28 at 1.2 j would chrono at 300/310 fps at 1.20 j , you would need to then weight to confirm , so technically they have passed chrono but have lied about the bb weight ,if there lying about bb weight what else are they being dishonest about?

Yep would have got it myself if I hadn't spent the month's budget on other things, that's a good price

I am genuinely tempted to pick it up.

That's a solid deal for sure. NPAS as standard in GBBRs would be great.

The best option would be to take it to a reputable tech near you or find someone trust worthy (and who knows what they're doing) and let them have a run at it. Some, if not most, techs will let you post your gun to them if you don't want to travel. The ARP9 is a good gun, i'd suggest getting it fixed rather than selling it. If you bought it online using paypal G&S, you could try pushing for a refund from the seller as it's not functional and I assume it was advertised as working.

Poorly shimmed AEG gear boxes really grind my gears.

I have no idea of its stock or not tbh unfortunately, was thinking of getting a new battery and trying to adjust the motor height and see of that does anything 🤷🏼‍♂️ if it doesn't, it looks like I'll have to sell it to fund something that actually works properly 🤦🏻‍♂️

Almost returned to stock now - an NPAS valve should come as standard with GBBRs these days to be honest. At that price, I'll be surprised if the listing lasts 3 or 4 hours.

I’ve had good success with the team Wendy replica pads / harness set from Aliexpress. i put them in FMA L/XL lids and it’s the only way I’ve been able to get a comfortable fit.

I still think the best and easiest way to do it is: 1) Player goes to chrono and says what weight they are using 2) Marshall chooses a random amount of shots through the chrono 3) if all readings are in the limit; remove the mag and take a sample of bbs. 4) Weigh the bb on some micro scales (your typical drug dealer scale haha) 5) Approve the player if weight matches Yes this can be somewhat cheated still but it makes it far harder

Mmm. Biohazard is pretty good, and did actually in-game chrono an HPA pistol user who I fingered for blasting me shockingly hard. And they checked his gun with their own 0.2g BBs, also good. But what if he was actually running heavy BBs? My fingernail chrono suggests that he was.

Forums (well, forum singular I don't know of any other active ones in English) are my main go-to, always have been. Not perfect but the highest overall knowledge and maturity levels and simply by far the best format/layout of discussions. I'm always on my desktop though and the hardware change is a big factor in the move from website forums to social media apps. I like the main airsoft sub-reddit quite a bit in terms of the builds and loadouts etc that you can see, a lot of nice guns and the like getting up-voted most days with (imho) better discussion attached than FB. Personally I've seen many a niche piece of kit or gun part on there that I found very interesting. I've also often found answers to questions or useful pics on the reddit when I've google-d for things, as google actually indexes reddit in some meaningful way whereas 99% of IG and FB doesn't seem to come up in google results (that or the content just doesn't exist on those platforms). As mentioned there's quite a lot of decent sub-hobby/niche groups on FB where the people will hang with the most knowledge on NGRS MP5s or a specific family of GBBRs or pistols, or whatever. Use each platform appropriately to take best advantage of the content which they host. Oh and there's discord, pretty sure there's tons on there, but I almost never use it so couldn't really comment. Again not sure that layout is good for growing a depository of info in the way a forum layout is. It's more like an old school internet chatroom, where a forum is like a series of mini blog posts.

I guess we'll see if it's the going rate if it actually sells. Currently, does not seem to be getting received well.
