Thanks for the response, looks like I’m going to have to get back to working on my CAD skills for when I get around to building a KS-1 myself

I didn't, I designed the PRT suppressor so eat up a few inches of the outer barrel 😎 Updated original post with new images

looks good but no subscription to watch it.

What about Generation Kill?

It would be useful to know the AK make. If it's TM spec then there is this set: https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p35362/CYMA-Real-Wood-Handguard,-Grip-&-Stock-For-AK47-AEG-Rifle/product_info.html if it's Inokatsu, Guarder or LCT then the LCT wooden kits will fit.

Wasn't there a survey a few years ago for TM, and a HP was one of the options?

At the end of the barrel you just want the heaviest BB you can afford to be travelling at the field limit FPS and at the correct hop amount which is neither overhopping nor underhopping And if you compare two systems tuned to deliver the exactly same exit projectile of above (an x gram BB moving at y FPS spinning at z RPM), you will find the system with the longer barrel will be more accurate and more consistent than the one with a shorter barrel, simply because all angular jitters of the exit vector are contained at a smaller angle of degree, plus the longer shape allows you to have more precise manual control over where it is aiming at biomechanically speaking, that is why I say for sniping you want a longer barrel to do the same job rather than a shorter barrel

Not taken any pics yet but this . . very happy with it. @sofieb and I are going to Top Secret Airsoft in Manchester on Monday evening so will get to use it then.

Im pretty sure that to run any kind of lottery you have to be registered with the lotteries commission! If hes not then he might run it in good faith but you would never know!

Typically AEGs will find longer barrels more difficult because of air volume issues. The gearbox only has so much air to push through the barrel, so if you have more barrel volume than cylinder volume your BB will stop accelerating and start decelerating while it's still in the barrel. However, if you have more cylinder volume than barrel volume you will end up wasting a lot of air as there is more air to push after the BB has left. This makes it a bit louder as you get a more noticeable pop as the BB escapes the barrel and the air expands, but it can also have some issues that I can't remember. All I remember is discussing it with a tech and he told me what happens but I can't remember exactly what he said, I just remember it sounded like a valid issue that I wouldn't want. For HPA it isn't such a problem because you can typically adjust your dwell depending on how long your barrel is, allowing more air to released per trigger pull in order to properly fill the barrel. A properly volumed HPA setup will joule creep like a gas gun. For gas guns, the problem with longer barrels is joule creep. With a gas gun the BB will constantly accelerate through the barrel as the gas constantly expands through it, much in the same way a bullet will accelerate more through a longer barrel than a shorter one. So when you have a heavy BB, which starts and moves slower than a lighter BB at the same energy, it will have far longer in the barrel to accelerate and will leave with a far greater muzzle energy than a short barrel due to the relative increase in energy imparted through the longer acceleration. All that said, you don't need a long barrel to have a "DMR" as it's just a designation in airsoft of a rifle that is semi-auto locked and typically has a higher energy limit and an MED. However, I'm a bit of a purist and am of the belief that a DMR should at least look like a DMR, so a 14.5" or 16"+ outer barrel is a must in my opinion, and then I'd just get an inner barrel that will go all the way through it. If you're going HPA, the only thing I would watch out for is joule creep, however you can easily fine tune the power output by tweaking the psi on the regulator to make sure you're within your site's limits.

Yeah CETME was first, some Germans went to France after the war, then Spain, worked on a new gun based on the StG45. Eventually (after lots of iterations) the Spanish adopted the CETME in 762 NATO in the late 50s and the Germans got a few along the way. Those guns became the basis for the G3. That's the super compacted version. If you look at the metal base/sockets on stock of the Stg44, 45, CETME and G3, the single pin at the bottom that holds them and the rough shape of TMH/lower receiver on each you can follow the lineage along pretty nicely.

My main concern if I were a potential buyer, would be this guns history. You see these come up in the classifieds all the time, with one dark and/or blurry picture on someone's duvet (usually also featuring the photographers feet). "I got this off a mate, who got it off some bloke at a game day. He reckons it's had some upgrades, dunno what or how old it is. Please give me £20 less than retail. Collection only, thanks" Put some effort into the ad and you may get around 60% of the new price. Hopefully you can at least recall how much you paid?

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/win-this-cyma-grenade-launcher-for-1_i60313 He's back again. Bad sport! He's not even telling us how many entries there are so we can't estimate a margin, assuming that there actually is a prize draw. I bet he'd have to sell at least 40 or 50 tickets to be able to turn a profit.

yeah but are they sniping with it?

Black hawk down got to be

Good call, maybe after TofD, watched The Pacific last week.
