BL Tech (now RDX Technologies) BOSS back from the dead

While it definitely sounds cool I bet airsoft sites in UK would get complaints from nearby residents if it became popular.

This.

Also I can see sites banning them if they're too loud. Yes we can use bfgs with 9mm blanks but with something like this it'll be going off way more often so the chances of it doing damage to someone's hearing is far higher

Apparently sound level can be tuned as per below but even then, that's still a lot of noise going off near your head.

I do recommend checking out their youtube videos from 7 years ago as it will answer most questions .

It goes on your existing airsoft gun and the volume can be adjusted from lower ,more ear safe levels to full immersive levels the same as firing blanks

It'll depend on how low the volume can go but I can still see it potentially causing issues as repetitive noise at lower volumes can still cause hearing damage. A quick Google search shows that repeated exposure to sounds at around 85 decibels can cause hearing damage. This is about the same as a kitchen blender or a truck going past.

As sites have a duty of care towards customers then I can see them taking the easy option of banning them rather than leaving themselves open to potential litigation or losing customers due to making ear protection mandatory

Society really is turning into a bunch of melts LOL.  At university I had a stereo so loud, that when we held a house party, the Student Union bar used to send a member of staff to our hall of residence/house 300m away to ask us to turn it down.  Oh man I could tell some stories...…   After we left, they turned our place into an Islamic studies building.   Apparently we were the last straw in a long line of cohorts that knew how to have a good time.

Life is getting so sanitised now it's no wonder our kids are the way they are.

I don't think it's really designed for open day sites where they have to cater for the lowest common denominator. More for special events where blanks, pyro and ear defenders are standard .

I think the immersion provided by these units would be ruined by the Spandex and hose pipes at most open days these days anyway.

I do forget that to many airsofters  there is only open day airsoft as they enjoy those and wander no further

Eeeeerrrmmmm..... OK then.

That looks electric to me, or at least I'm not seeing a gas fill port. Interesting concept though.

Wasn't there another option for just sound effects ?, I see to remember @L3wisD selling something on here that you could program with any sound you wanted, not just shots. 

Yeah, I had a beta prototype version of it.. can't remember the name of it now.

But essentially was a tracer with a lead running back to the 3D printed peq box that had a speaker mounted in the top and took a micro SD card full of audio files.

Really wanted to build a pulse rifle with the iconic squawk of the colonial marines blasting away.

Ended up selling it to someone on here though
