Even worse when they expect others to call them by said rank. Yes I've seen this happen. Said bellend wasn't happy when we obliged but added a few colourful words to the end

Reminds me of a certain Scottish based Walt we both know.....

Everything. You're all a bunch of cringy buggers and you know it😁 Re the photos on social media, blurring out your face is pretty pointless to me. If a prospective employer is seeing them on your profile then it's going to be pretty obvious it's you whether faces are visible or not. Either don't post them or at least sort out your security settings so any random Tom Dick or Harry can't see them. One thing I find properly cringeworthy are the excuses people come out with when losing. No they're not cheating and no they don't have more players, you just got out played. Rather than whining, acknowledge that they did well and learn from it. I suppose this is part of the winning is everything mentally which has started to creep into the game and I just don't get as some of the best games I've had have when I'm on the receiving end of an arse kicking

Yeah, after some research went for the Aster II with the Bluetooth starting to think maybe I should have just left my aeg alone… lol

This actually happened. Guy behind tree: "Push up lads!" 2 minutes later: Guy still behind tree: "PUSH UP LADS LETS SEE SOME AGGRESSION - SECTION ATTACK NOW!" 2 minutes later - he grabs a bunch of new players after trying to rope me in to it all and proceeds to explain to them a rough section attack. He then watches them try it and all get hit and then goes back to the tree. ENDEX Guy still behind tree: "We lost because we didn't push up."

I agree with this....and I don't. In these enlightened times, prospective employers WILL scour your social media footprint to see if you align with their perception of what a good candidate is (and to make sure nothing is going to bite them in the arse later down the line). Blurring out your face in photos can be an attempt to stop playing a game that quite a lot of people might think is a bit... odd, interfering with your job prospects. If they're doing it to try and be "more ally", then yeah, cringe as fuck.

I don't get it either, the 11.1 works on all my other rifs just not the aks-74u. I have the charger in pic, had it a couple of years with no issues. Charges all my other lipos, only difference is my 11.1 is li-ion and not lipo like all my others. It can't be a connector as the 11.1 works in my other rifs and the 7.4 lipos work on the aks-74u. If never had a issue like it. It makes no sense at all. Maybe it'll sort its self when I put a mosfet in or buy a slim 11.1 lipo.

Personally, I'd skip the Warfet and go straight to an Aster. That said, I believe you can do what you are suggesting. The Aster choice is more based on the modern mosfets being better able to handle brushless motors than the older ones like the Warfet.

My only cringe is players who take our hobby too seriously, I get the excitment of playing to win but it's airsoft not life or death. I like to see groups all kitted up in a milsim kind of way whether it's WWII Wehrmacht, GI Joe's, British army etc, etc, etc... but it's the players who try herding cats & lose their shit when it doesn't work that make me cringe most.

Cheers for the advice mate, will order a warfet and try throw that in, the x-asr has motor + and - as well as a blue wire from the trigger contact, all housed in the buffer tube. In theory I can just cut off the x-asr and put the warfet in its place no? Wiring seems to be the same?

How freely a motor spins is directly related to the strength of the magnets used to make it. If it spins freely then the magnets are weak and the motor will be shit. Ergo the Solink feeling clunky as it turns is, in fact, a sign of a better motor. Having changed the motors in a couple of Specna guns I can attest that they are, in fact, weak as shit. Also, the X-ASR MOSFET is rubbish. I also very much doubt the X-ASR can deal with a brushless motor. Fuck it off and put a decent unit in instead.

Hey dude from your prospective I can fully understand why you do what you do. No point making yourself ill. Well done on playing and doing what you do. So for you it's definitely not a cringe moment. Agree with the players who ridicule new or returning players because they haven't paid 1000s on guns and equipment. We all have our budgets and not everyone can buy expensive stuff. People forget some of these might be on an average wage and don't have the disposable income that others do, your life and wellbeing away from Airsoft comes first so can make the difference if it means paying the rent/mortgage or buying a new RIF and modding it.

You're so cringe...... Actually, that sounds like a really hard way to live - well done for still attending even with the struggles you have.

Hey dude, this would be me but i have a medical condition so everyones lynx and deodorant and cig smoke etc hurts my head, causes head pressure, breathing difficulties/coughing, blurred/double vision makes me feel like i have motion sickness , i zone out constantly like focal seizures and also a chance i end up bedridden with joint and muscle pain (my body attacks itself) for 3-4 days. Everyones fragrance to me smells incredibly strong or if i breathe through my mouth it tastes like ive licked the can . I live in complete isolation outside of airsoft and can only meet family or friends outside which most wont do so i sometimes go months without seeing anyone.. and airsoft is one of the few things i get to do so yeah i have to have my face covered all game, in safe zone , also in the shops the bus the train etc i get less weird looks at airsoft wearing a respirator than on a train or bus though 🤣 (no i dont wear a mili one on transport, is a half face one) But before this when i used to play many years ago i would always interact and chat with others also at lunch and in safe zone, examining various guns and also subjecting people to my really bad jokes. I sure do miss those days.... now i always sit on my own at lunch in the car park What i find really cringe in airsoft is the elitists who spend thousands but then shittalk new players or people returning who have purchased some guns and gear and just getting into it again i guess not everyone has a hefty budget or rich outside of the game

Difficult to think of things that won't offend somebody🙃, but eg a player who turns up with new top of the line shiney speedsofter at a normal woodland skirmish. Guys who bring their lady friends with them but forget to tell them not to wear skintight tops and trousers. Player with lots of expensive kit who barely if ever gets out of the safe zone (thats me btw 😄)

I find people who criticize others for blanking their faces in pictures cringe. Having spent a long time in in house recruitment for some pretty massive and well known companies, you'd be amazed at the things I've seen used for not hiring someone, so a picture of them holding a "gun" isn't something id want to be tracked back to me. I like the pics etc, I just don't want them tracking back to me. Likewise sometimes it's a great picture and I'm just pulling a derp face that ruins it. I mean, how ridiculous would it be to have my career derailed and earnings reduced just so that my face can be in pictures from when I'm playing toy soldiers. Also, people who are so "not competitive" that they actively do things to be not competitive, like bright gun/gear or talking down people who do put effort in, especially when they aren't effective players themselves. I'm there to have fun and my version of fun isn't being a moving target,

Never had a line catch tbh and run 2 MTW's also so it just made sense to go this way. Just takes careful planning and routing of the line on your kit. Mine comes from a sack on the rear of my plate carrier, over the shoulder (all through Molly tabs) and down the front. This leaves a loop tucked close in to the body and works well, even in a prone position. I did add 0ne more line support clip to the third internal rail support screw to the set up but no other changes. Next issue is how to fix my bullet belt over the box mag feed and mic springs 😀 I was going to add a microswitch to the trigger but the mic works perfectly for now routed in the spring, as I suspect the metal amplifies the sound. I meant to add originally that the slightly bunched area as line enters the Maxwell is actually just the heatshrink over some stainless metal braid protecting the line. I Ali blacked the line hole in the mag well which now looks like it was factory and the original mag fits perfectly and operates fine so all removable.

Ha, magnificent. As an aside, that was a great site. I did the original Town Assault there about 20 odd years ago.

Here's my M4 (Specna Edge), my brother's M16 (Specna Core I think) and my XM177 (E&C). The M4 has a Perun hybrid, 14:1 gears, solid bushings and compression set from Mr Ak2m4, motor is a bit of a mutt I built by putting the armature from a high torque motor into the case of a high torque, high speed one from AliExpress. Barrel is the original brass Specna 6.03 and uses a Macaron 60 hop rubber, omega nub. It shoots like a laser (in Airsoft terms) and has decent range. ROF is about 23rps on 2s I think? The M16 is bone stock and this also shoots fantastically, with decent range too- my brother is going to leave that as is. He has great fun blasting people with the 203 too, usually accompanied by giggling... The XM is my favourite to look at, the trades are fantastic and I love the old school integrated carry handle over the M4's detachable one. It has an upgraded compression set and nozzle, again from ak2m4, and a 6.02 stainless barrel. Hop is the same as the M4. It's running 16:1 gears and I have a Perun hybrid on the way for it. The problem I have with the XM is that it does not shoot as accurately as the M4, I get the odd curler which goes off to the side now and then. I may remove the barrel and try to polish it a bit to see if that helps at all...
