that is assuming the 22k rounds are from the gearbox in its current state. could well be it's 21.5k rounds through a mostly stock gearbox before the last batch of parts were installed. or 21.5k rounds through a different gun before the aster was transplanted into this gun. skeptical hamster is skeptical.....4 points -
I was also at the shift your rifts event both days. Ran my new ww1 kit on the Saturday. I need to get a proper canvas holster for the webley, but they are currently out of stock, plus I am struggling to find decent, comfortable replica or lookalike "ammo" boots that don't cost stupid amounts of money, so I just used my spare work boots, but other than that, I'm happy with the way it looks (Also, no idea why the last photo keeps uploading on its side... on my phone its upright and nothing I do will change its orientation)4 points

One from a few weeks back when I was running a chest rig for the first time in forever, certainly not helped by the fact I forgot to put ranger plates back on the mags. Forgot how tight those mags sit in the AVS panel, though the AirLite is undoubtedly comfy I found myself missing the structure of my PC.3 points

Heavier BBs, 0.36 to 0.40, Most Cost Effective To Buy In 2022?
Tactical Pith Helmet and 2 others reacted to Impulse for a topic
It's the same with sniping. I always say that the roles are more about how you play than the gun you use, especially in airsoft where there is such little difference in performance. Yeahhhh. I've set my spring VSR up for 1.14J (pretty much right on the money) and it's a blast. I use a scope rather than iron sights, but it's a very satisfying way of playing. Also, it's amusing when people start moaning about "sToP POiNt bLAnKiNG wiTh A sNIpEr rIfLe yOu hAVe aN MED!" if you shoot them up close with a 1J boltie. Nah, I always used .32s in the m21 and my spring VSR because it was cost-efficient and they flew pretty damn well. Not sure it can hop .48s (the spring VSR probably can...), but that's the only heavy weight I have at the moment. I think the m21 can hop .4s, but I'd love to see if it can do .43s or .45s. Will try a few .48s again this weekend, as I still have some due to using them in the HPA VSR, and the hop rubber I tried them on before in the m21 was awful anyway, but we'll see what works. It's not the end of the world if I buy ammo the m21 can't use, as I know the spring VSR can handle anything so I'll just feed them through that over time3 points -

barrel, hop, and rubber question
Tactical Pith Helmet and one other reacted to Rogerborg for a topic
Now, that makes sense: you always hunt the whales first. I get that brushless performance is great, but 11.1V and <£30 of Big Dragon grinds my gears as fast as I'd care to risk them. Bench tests might be satisfying, but the marginal extra field performance from brushless just isn't compelling for me at this point.2 points -

So why the fudge has he renewed his classified ?. Weird 🤔 EDIT my bad, I see his "reasoning" (?) for not replying here, although it makes no sense, pm notification via your email couldn't be any easier. Still thi nk he's a dreamer on his price though $5k for a bunch of springers of indeterminate age, with dubious power upgrades, if they're not legal for USA fields then they're definitely not UK legal.

I reckon so, that looks like another "everything I've spent on it, plus my time" pricing. Highlights: "barrel has been lapped 5 micron". That's 0.005mm, folks, in a barrel that's maybe only accurate to 0.1mm as stock, if you're really lucky. "custom 22tpa neodymium motor". Custom motor? Like, hewn from solid neodymium by magical dwarves? 13:1 gears + a weighted piston because, well, I guess Reddit seddit. Yup, that fits.2 points

To me it looks like we're trying to find a solution for a problem that does not exist. Like having multiple, pre set firing modes, in my 12 years of playing I have never gotten into an engagement and thought "oh, how I wish I had a 6 rounds burst for that guy and then a 3 and a half rounds one for that cheeky cunt behind that tree" A Gate Titan will give you some degree of customisation when it comes to firing modes, for example you can program it to have semi-binary-burst/auto which is something I did for a while before reverting back to my good old safe-binary-auto. Though I'm sure many people won't even bother and will just set active brake to adaptive (very bad for your motor) and precocking to adaptive as well. Just like brushless motors, they're a niche because 90% of the people don't need them, and the 10% who do are prepared to dish out some serious cash.2 points

Heavier BBs, 0.36 to 0.40, Most Cost Effective To Buy In 2022?
Floperator and one other reacted to Badgerlicious for a topic
I thought you already used heavier? It's worth it for sure, they fly so true. And if you're placing shots rather than being a typical assault player you don't need as many. I probably do 1000 shots on a very trigger happy day. 100%. Running heavy ammo and a gun built for accuracy gives you an advantage over a lot of other guns at those extreme ranges. If you can be accurate even when your bbs are dropping off you are functionally out ranging people, despite being technically within range of each other. Add a magnified optic to that and you can pick people off through the tiniest gaps in foliage. Then add a ghillieand you become a total menace to the other team 😂2 points -

From what I can tell 1 (maybe 2) Chinese factories making brushless at the moment (not including Warhead). Sold under different brands like Option, AOLS and Military Action. All have CNC aluminium casings. My guess they keep brushless production small to allow enough time to make as much money from non-brushless. It will probably take a new player in the market with little or no non-brushless investment to shake things up. At least 1 Taiwanese company also, I think ADV. Check out ShinWei YT channel if your Mandarin is good enough 🙂 Although when I looked at these they looked extremely similar to the ones now being produced by ChiHai in China.1 point

Using N2O Gas for GBBR???? Do-able?
Tactical Pith Helmet reacted to Tommikka for a topic
This type of catering N20 cylinder is at 50bar / 725psi CO2 under pressure is in its liquid state and expands to gas on release in the region of 800psi (But with rapid fire can drop in temperature and go back to liquid) This is partly the reason why paintball HPA regulators and mechanical guns were originally operating at 800psi I don’t know how it would continue to perform in the cylinder or on transfer to a co2 magazine etc for practical use. Assuming it acted like co2 rather than compressed air then it would switch between gas & liquid states, stabilising into its ‘stored’ state and acting like low powered co2 It would be interesting to know the results if you go ahead1 point -

Getting stuff out of Russia. Bullgear etc
Tactical Pith Helmet reacted to Floperator for a topic
Well you can't sanction them can you, because our manufacturing capability and energy production has been hollowed out and outsourced overseas because this generated the most profit in the short term for greedy motherfuckers who have no real conception of the economy beyond the next shareholders report. We actively destroy democracies and treat with tyrants and despots, to no ones benefit except a select few. Yemen is also happening *right now*, but the Sauds are our buddies so we're not doing shit to help them as they starve. No sympathetic headlines for them. No ones airing out the spare bedroom for Yemeni refugees. China has spent the last few years literally herding a specific ethnicity into concentration camps. No 24hr rolling news cycle for that either. All forgotten, because we are dependent on them. The truth is that its psychologically convenient for many of us to minimise the atrocities that our own administration tacitly accepts or even encourages, because there is practically nothing we can do about it. Smug? No, the hypocrisy of all this fucking sickens me. The Russians are just the enemy of the moment, that's all, and if our government didn't have a stake in using Ukraine as a proxy no one would be saying shit about it, just like they had nothing to say about Georgia and Chechnya. Just like they have nothing to say about the Uyghurs, or Yemen, or Palestine. I'd say I have more reason than most here to have a grudge against Russia - In a way I'm only here today because of the brutality of the Russian government. My grandfather came to Britain in 1956, fleeing Soviet retribution after the failed Hungarian Uprising, which he took a very active part in. The Russian security services tortured his parents - who I was lucky enough to know in my childhood - pins under the fingernails, that sort of thing. The whole family got the treatment, everyone who was still left. They were extremely eager to find and kill him. We used to go to Hungary on holiday every year when I was a kid. Before the Berlin Wall fell, but after things were at their worst, when people were burying bread and the meagre produce of their smallholdings to keep them safe from the privations of Russian soldiers. Things were extremely grim over there, a real eye opener as a kid from the west to see the kind of conditions people had to live in elsewhere. After the Wall fell we got to see the country heal year by year, slowly building up the kind of infrastructure that we take for granted. The dirt roads were gravelled one year, streetlights installed the next, tarmac the year after that. But the scars are still there today, if you care to look for them. So I don't really need a lecture on how bad Russian occupation is thanks, I've seen it first hand. Me and my family have better reason to hate Russians than most. But we don't. Even my grandad never boycotted Russian products - his favorite drink is Smirnoff ffs - and even he was and is able to differentiate between the actions of the Russian government and the Russian people themselves, who have lived under the heel of Putin for over two decades and are as much victims of their government as the people living in the countries that Russia invades and occupies. Who do you think your sanctions are really hurting? Tsar Putin, reputedly one of if not the richest man in the world? Or is it just another kick in the teeth for a people that have lived under poverty and dictatorship for longer than anyone alive can remember? As I said before, you can draw your own line in the sand wherever you want, and power to you. But to start moralising on other people's choices when we live in a fundamentally amoral system is frankly bollocks. Every time you start your car or turn on your hob or buy some plastic shite or charge your batteries you are in some way contributing to human misery somewhere. That's the reality we live in. Watching people suddenly get on their high horse about #IssueOfTheDay because that's what the media has told them to do bores me to tears. Do I care about Ukraine? Of course I do. And I'll still care when the cameras are off. I'll still care about the refugees after the media has decided they are now villains, not heroes (it won't be long, just wait and see!). I very much doubt thats the case for the people banging the drum loudest, a good proportion of whom a few months ago wanted to send in the gunships to turn back the boatloads of refugees crossing the channel. Maybe you'll still care once everyone else has put a different flag in their profile picture, maybe not. We'll see.1 point -

Is this a good first gun?
PrimeInsight reacted to Rogerborg for a topic
It seems to come and go, but another chap here was just after saying that he's blown the front off of his Orion. There was a batch that were dog rough and obviously poorly finished. Mine looks nicer - the pot metal might have been given a stir. It's got decent radiusing already done to it and hasn't cracked after several thousand shots at 1.8J as a DMR (I know, poor choice, but I can't not accept a challenge). Still, why gamble when CYMA, JG and Double Eagle don't seem to have any concerns in that price range. I'd normally include G&G in there, but honestly I think they're barring themselves from the basic AEG market now with their stubborn refusal to add any features to the Combat Machines while creeping the prices up.1 point -
Uuuuhhhh, I don't have that specific pistol, but I can confirm that my TM HK45 fits in it (suppressor and all), as does my mk23 if I put it to its largest, so I imagine that Umarex USP45 will fit too. Might want to wait for someone to confirm that though, as I can only speculate based on the pistols I've used in mine.1 point

Have to say I am very pleased with the result. I've added real steel grips and the small single safety for a more specific look.1 point

Looking at a browning high power mk3 we tech
Rogerborg reacted to Cyberlawyer for a topic
I have two of these that I do skirmish and I love them for the look and the cool factor. Why do I have two, simply because even as a backup sidearm I wont trust one to last a whole game day........ I also have a stock of Part #30 (I order them 10 at a time and will order another 10 when I get down to 5 left) as I basically regard them as a service item like 'o' rings, its not a case of if it will go bad just a matter of when. Also the hop-up is terrible, it works ok, but is awful to set and doesn't hold adjustment well and is reliant on a non-standard little rubber 'patch' and a minute brass grub screw that loves to work its way out and get lost. Again I hold a small stock of these so I can skirmish the pistol. In short if you are really committed to them they can be skirmished and perform ok, but a WE Glock cost less, shoots better and is far more reliable and uses a readily available hop rubber when it does need maintenance. P.S. Just to add this isn't my main skirmish pistol, but on the rare occasion I break out the MP5 and black overalls it would be rude not to...1 point -
