Im excited to have this together and my Mrs just looks worried when I try to show her - more than understanding how awesome I think it is lol. (Which is fair enough) It’s was a TM Sopmod, I made it into a CQBR and now (my impression) of an L119A2 Angry Gun rail and flash hider PTS grip MK18 TM Stock RS Magpul Angle grip Angry gun charging handle catch E6 M110 spring Prom Piston Prom Piston head E6 recoil spring Prom 6.03 inner Prom Purple Rubber Prom Flat nub Action Army high torque Motor ACOG upgraded with Gucci bits from a very helpful member on AF U.K. 🇬🇧 I don’t have the CC lower, I honestly just can’t face getting the gearbox out again, I had to do it about 3 times because I had to learn as I went. when something explodes and I need to replace the gears or whatever then I’ll burn some more cash doing that last bit, but for now just want to enjoy using it. I get zero single shot lockup, this was either the new motor or Titan battery, did both at once after lots of single shot lockup, so it was one of those or a combination. I did not need the MOSFET. Not looking for anything other than just showing off because I’m very very happy and can’t wait to use it. yes, it is a lot of mags. No I cannot ever use them all

Mags and trigger printed in resin for the VFC SCAR H AEG.

Bought broken vfc mp7 aeg and after few weeks of waiting for trigger micro switch i got it back to working condition with perun ab++ mosfet, bullgear cnc tappet plate and gear clip and entire aeg rewired to work with mosfet apart of mag cut off feature which was removed due to known feeding issues. Rest of the aeg works as intended at 285fps on 0.25g bbs.

1. Better an administrative warning whenever a post offers to auction (sell for money) a non-airsoft item (console game). 2. If the humour is not understood, then maybe the joke was not made clear or actually funny. 3. From a cast of thousands, I think I can deduce who it was. Although the chances of them reading this post are minimal, and caring about it even less.

I've seen one start spewing smoke in the safe zone when someone yanked out of his gun by the balance lead. It got lobbed into a bucket pretty sharpish. And I've had an RC helicopter totalled when the lipo went up. I suspect the outrunner motor may have worn through the outer covering on the Lipo . My fault if so as the battery wasnt in quite the right position. That was 'interesting' when it started spewing smoke ! got it on the ground before it went up at least.

I'm not a peasant I'm a serf 😋 Wow, this thread has definitively come off the rails and into a ravine.

Have you considered the possibility that you've burst into a pub and are shouting "I LIKE BEER! WHY DO YOU ALL HATE BEER?" at a rather bemused clientele?

Nor would he have a licenCe

Looks like a posh biscuit tin to me ?😳

I like M4s too (I have three). I just like baiting people that get upset when you dare suggest that their L119A2 is just an M4 in a fancy frock. Yours is very nice though (but if you do have a Bazooka that would be SO MUCH COOLER!!!!!)

About time I reckon 🤔, its got boring as f#ck😴

Nice M4.

I make that 0.0001261148327138J of rotational kinetic energy, or a lot less than that required to hold it up, so it's got to be leeching that (small) amount from the linear. Insignificant compared to the drag, I was just curious, unlike some peasants in here.

0.25s will hop 100% - 0.28s are better and the go to but not 100% sure if they are hoppable with the stock rubber - I am currently running 0.25s despite having a ML Yellow ZCI barrel because the site I went to that was all they had... It's also important to know what type of site you go to. 0.28s are usually better outside and for distance however in cqb you will be suprised how well a 0.20 can perform If you want to upgrade or anything in the future let us know.

except that is very very literally what the magnus effect does to an airsoft bb.....

Visually the delta recon is the most similar but if you want an m4 opposed to 416, the mk18. The kwa has harder kick than the tm, and will have higher power out of the box, though it might still need a rubber change for our climate. The tm has the stop on empty function whe using the correct magazines.

As a purveyor of airsoft tuning bits that actually knows what the fuck you're on about, I would say 'almost uniquely odd' at the very least. 😜

@furylemon97, try somewhere else to compare. Absolute was actually my first site and got my first UKARA there. I thought it was OK until I tried other places. 'Red Alert' is good nearby and so is Skirmish Wycombe' a bit further.

Depends on what side of the trigger your on 😏

It's the only site I've been to that doesn't chrono all guns. Unfortunately there is a lot of hate for the site owner due to his habit of taking money for goods and not supplying them.

They are called retainer clips. You'll need to measure the shaft that it connects to though to get the right size

That’s mega Nick, love it! - “Pukka” Do you find the mag release catch sometimes releases the mag on your kit when carrying the rifle? I’ve heard that’s a complaint which is why I didn’t do that mod. to be honest with you I was extremely tempted to switch fire completely to a GBBR partly due to the added realism and extra weight of the mags (perverted maybe but I wanted it) and also the opportunity to fit any stock and grip and not need to worry about motors or batteries. I actually bought a TM MK 18 GBBR and I was going to do it, but then I read the thread on here about the drama of getting the barrel but off and I bottled it, cancelled the order and decided to not worry about the limitations and go for it with the NGRS and get it as close as practical while keeping it a great plastic slinger. But I do have in the back of my mind to save up, buy a TM CQBR GBB and make an A1 so I have both. im also considering offering my set up for swaps at some point, (maybe) it’s possible someone who went TM GBB might wish they went NGRS for the weight and ammo factors and do me a straight swap. And if they don’t then I’ll keep saving. I can only shoot one at a time unfortunately Was the upper a lot of work? Did you modify using those little bits of 3D printed plastic that guy from L119 lovers makes? I was tempted to ask him but the idea of repainting the whole upper made me question it. seeing yours just reminds me how far off mine is! Lol

I’d say a pattern is definitely emerging of some kind of operator ‘miss handling’ being a major factor in all the stories with any kind “oh shit it’s burning !/its jetting out smoke !/its going nuclear on me !” in it but few “it just exploded all by its self for no reason at all !” stories ?

Well that's great news if they have cleaned up their act. Shame it took a permanant disability to bring it about. Can you say whether they chronograph at start of game and at random times during day? Regards

What do you mean? From my perspective it just got interesting?

Yeah agreed Nick, honestly mate I’ve not got the money or the stamina to get it correct at the moment. Stock I decided on because I want the 3000 Amp Titan battery. It’s not a wall hanger it’s my only weapon and it’s primary use is flinging BBs I did look for a Magpul solution with reasonable cost but I didn’t find one that met all my requirements. Pistol grip is an experiment. It’s close enough to be good and I’m hoping I’ll get less forearm pain… let’s see. it’s definitely not a replica, then again the blokes that use them mod everything so much i doubt there really is a correct way

Thanks @Lozart. might go for the embossed look actually.

yeah, can be fun to delve into this sort of thing, tbh i'm surprised it's that small myself figured it'd be a more major component.

Damn you, you're making me defend them...🤪...they are the only site I've been to that uses barrel socks.I can only relate what I've experienced.Would I tell anyone else to visit there?Not without warnings regarding the chrono especially and as advised there are definately a few regulars who abuse the lack of chrono.I have pressed them about the lack of chrono use at every opportunity,but saying that I haven't been for quite a while. The reason people play there is the same reason they buy kit off of him.......cheap.

It's the advice I always give people who want to get into sniping: get a solid sidearm first! You'll need it. I often joke that I get 1 kill with the rifle and about 10 kills with the pistol each game. It's also part of the reason I kept my m21 and spring VSR to 1.1J, as I'll generally run the HPA VSR if I want 2.3J and an MED, though even when using my 1.1J BASR, I still get more pistol kills even without an MED! I'm currently in the process of upping my game and improving my trigger discipline. Transferring completely away from AEGs in favour of GBBRs (because they're so fun to shoot, I can't go back...), so getting used to 35rd magazines there, but I also may be buying a Tanaka m700 this weekend (another "I don't want to buy anything, but I can't pass up the opportunity" situation, since Tanaka rifles are loooooong out of production) and those gas sniper rifles only run a whopping 10rd magazine, 28rd if you get the extended ones, though I'll be keeping to the short ones. Yeah, you get less "kills" playing like this, but it's so much more satisfying. As a German dude told a teenage me back in Spain when I used to play there: it's not how many you hit, but how you hit them.

yes the angular velocity is a bit of an unknown. in the spreadsheet i made a while back i ended up having to go with a macro and goal seek to just brute force it, hence the whole "20cm of rise" caveat as there needed to be a fixed goal to look for. although tbh a few corners were cut, eg the magnus force was simplified to the force for a cylinder of equivalent cross section rather than doing it properly and splitting it up into increments, or the very oversimplified drag model that treated air as an incompressible fluid. but then i was doing it because i was bored/curious so an approximation was good enough for the aforementioned 1j of muzzle energy and 20cm of rise criteria it would come out as: 63.67 rad/s for 0.2g 79.54 rad/s for 0.25g 97.03 rad/s for 0.3g 133.46 rad/s for 0.4g 173.293 rad/s for 0.5g it's part of the reason why as mentioned, heavier=better doesn't always hold true practically, when the losses in the hop to acheive sufficient spin drop the energy enough to the point where a lighter bb from the same gun would go further. fun anecdote- it's possible to have 2 "sweet spots" for hop, first when you've just enough pressure to get the spin, then turning the hop on further results in the expected overhop, but go too far and the energy will drop to the point where it'll meet a second spot, with a much higher spin but lower energy. although more usually by the time you get to that point the gun just jams.

Or, fire until they explode, then back off the trigger by 10%.

huh?

Cheers, it's woodland with some sort-of cqb 'villages' where we change to single shot. Most of the longer range stuff feels like 20-30, occasionally 40m, but at partial targets - sometimes through a bit of light brush - so accuracy and momentum the key things there! I've had a dig around in my kit box, I found a bag of 0.30s in there I thought I'd already used. And a bag of leftovers which could be anything from 0.20s to 0.28s. Maybe even a pick'n'mix of all 3 weights. Anyway, I'll see if I can lift the 0.30s in the garden.. should be an interesting test! edit: Yes, it'll over-hop .30s. That's the stock rubber that's had probably a hundred rounds through it, at room temperature, at 20m range. Geoff's .30g Bio Natural Precision BB's. Operated by a non-expert user Now obviously I may have so much hop wound on at this point that the fps might be unusably low, and I definitely saw some variability in the trajectories (though that's perhaps down to the new hop rubber, and the newness of the gun as a whole, and me only firing a couple of shots at each setting, with a battery that probably needs a recharge) but it's definitely lifting them successfully. I'll probably order a big bag of 0.28s just to play it a little safe, but when I'm at the site next I'll try to get a chrono reading with the 0.30s Absolutely loving the look and feel of this, and the binary trigger... lurrrrrrvly!

damn you, making me have to go do math...... so for 0.5 seconds of flight time, with a muzzle energy of 1j and hop set for ~20cm of rise above muzzle: a 0.2g bb will lose 0.002406j due to gravitational potential energy and 0.9j due to drag forces a 0.5g bb will lose 0.006015j due to gravitational potential energy and 0.58j due to drag force granted that's a very oversimplified calculation based on simply the flight time (ie not counting energy that would accelerate the bb upwards to get that 20cm of rise), but then the drag model is pretty over-simplified as well. however the point is it's a negligible amount compared to the primary force which is the conventional drag.

These statements shows you're clearly missing some crucial physics knowledge to understand the difference between BBs with Magnus effect versus an axial spinning projectile.

As a totally unbiased onlooker, I believe you have reached peak airsoft. No, don't look at how I play, that has nothing to do with it!

I had a laugh at the evolution of my play style over the last 2 years - from 40rps DSG wankery to almost exclusively semi-auto with a hint of bolt action

Well, they do now. I didn't see a resolution to that case one way or the other, I'd assume their insurers settled at the courtroom door. And reminding people to fire until clear? Barrel socks will come to every site eventually, after the dry-firing fun and games turn into someone losing an eye. I've taken to wearing basic ballistic glasses in "safe" zones now too. No chrono, even after being on the sharp end of a negligence suit, is astonishing. While I'm the first to point out that pre-game chrono is largely just theatre, not doing any sort of chronoing at all is appalling, and I would have no doubt that some regulars will be rocking Section 5s or billion-Joule snipers. And I'm the last to suggest escalating situations, but I think that might result in a roundhouse swing with whatever RIF I had to hand. Did you bother even bringing it up with the site?

The looming deadline for the Rogueworx underlever kit has made me do something financially irresponsible. Underlever kit now on order, The Muzzelite stock is for now in my spares box and this Hogue Overmold has arrived ready for my underlever I’m going to be keeping an eye on the classifieds for the next boneyard KC02 so I’ve got a receiver and trigger box to stick in the Muzzelite. It’s too unique and too ugly to not take to the field. Got a mate working on a solution to make the trigger less, well, bullpuppy too

I'd always suggest a Maple Leaf 50 degree bucking and 0.28g minimum in any AEG these days. Omega nub, no omega nub, I'm back and forth on those, but all of my AEGs can over-hop 0.28g, even the MP5K with a somewhat ropey hop unit.

Typical isnt it. Works for some, not for others..thats airsoft!!

Que the borg....Its not a License! 😉 regards

Looks good, if nothing else

at this point should we maybe rename this thread to the grand unified theory of airsoft? i think so far the only topic we haven't taken a tangent into is the #knownfact that tm recoils don't abide by normal physics oh bugger....

I read that as "getaway mask", and thought "But everybody covers their faces in banks now."

Film blank prop guns are completely different to publicly available ones. (in UK) Prop guns have a partial restriction in the barrel to increase back pressure but gas is vented from the barrel like a real gun. Public sector blank guns vent vertically from a hole in the top of the barrel. I'm going to assume the cause of this accident was similar to that which killed Brandon Lee... (It was the fault of the armourer for not checking the barrel properly) In one scene they used prop rounds in a magazine or being loaded etc. These may be real round which are inert or plastic ones that look like real bullets. Unfortunately a plastic bullet came off the shell and stuck in the barrel. When blanks were used in another scene the plastic bullet was fired and broke apart when it hit the barrel obstruction but the bits that exited still had enough energy to kill at close range. Nothing like this can happen with consumer blank firers except if someone purposely pushed something into the vent hole. Even then it probably wouldn't have enough energy to cause serious harm.

I had a blank firing m9 and I'm pretty sure barrel was blocked.gases and sparks came from hole drilled in top of slide.🤔
