If only you’d been looking last year you could have picked this up for her ; but unfortunately I did , AND now it looks like this ! 😁

"the battery at the moment is externally mounted for maximum trigger response and fire rate." "The safety selector plate was faulty so I removed it" So it's £800 for an incomplete gun

Maybe he's giving up airsoft cos he can't work out why he's so unpopular at every site...

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.....

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)

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.

Wait... So all this time I just needed to strap the battery outside my gun to upgrade it? So glad to have stumbled across that secret

Everyone knows right facing gun are always worth more money

Finally got my Speedcat slide back from the anodiser

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 time

TM MWS almost finished & has been a pain, but loving the result. Accidentally bought a red forward assist and mag release, but it is kind of growing on me. Also want a spare 5 - 6" handguard. Unintentionally became a Strike Industries build. Any suggestions on a colour for cerakote?

Yes it's russian and this is from a few months ago, only just found the picture Cyma VSS with MP5K backup

Tupperware party 😛

FTFY. Gentlemen, this is peak performance. Y U NO puttee tho?

Ye can wi' a Cannae Drive. Given the entirely imaginary results from it, I suspect that it's based on Tokyo Marui technology.

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.

I can see what's happened. I think the dearer gun is real whereas the cheaper gun is made of cardboard? Regards

I’m curios why and how @PinkGunis selling the same gun twice AND at two different prices ? 🤔

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.

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.

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 😂

I actually do damn well with a 350fps bolt action with open sights. You pick targets and shoot much more thoughtfully.

Broke out the paint again and possibly ruined another gun.

A cool shot from game day, I think this was shortly after I fragged 3 of my team 🙃

God was knocking, and he wanted in bad.

It's the soul of the last bb warrior he claimed, forever wandering in that glass as a reminder for everyone to call their hits

Yes it is, along with real grips

After what’s felt like months of waiting for parts to come back from people, I’ve finally put my Speedcat back together. Here it is next to it’s matched KC02 And because the KC is finished now, here’s the Battlecat/KC matched pair too Finally, not quite as close as I’d like on the wood but my third pair

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.

I aspire to being a Total Menace 👊

W - ⚓- 🔫 Eh. The motor (or "mortors") I buy cost about the same as a game day. Given how much of the junk we buy just sits around essentially unused, dying in the line of pew-ty is the heroic way to go.

I briefly played with using some 8g N20 chargers in a tiny custom crosman 2240 I converted to take 8g CO2 caplets. Lower power and fewer shots than the CO2 equivalent, I would just be guessing but would think more powerful than propane etc. In a reciprocating semi automatic gun I'd imagine that it's going to smash the balls out of guns designed to run on green gas, and be insipid in guns designed to run on CO2. Save it for making whipped cream or emergency home dentistry.

If true, he is selling a firearm.

Tried to watch one of those hard core tractor videos that are all the rage last night. I didn't make it past the trailer...

Anybody notice this little issue on another of Andrey's finest offerings - apart from the Two-tone respray and missing selector markings? : Pretty sure those lines should be 90deg to each other.... But of course, it's 'new and never skirmished' - despite the shit paint job and the man's finest gunsmiffing skillz to re-shim, AoE correct and radius cut the gearbox.

Chopped and changed a lot over the last year or so, but I strongly suspect this’ll be my MWS from here on out. Only thing I’ll be changing is the Aimpoint mount to something a bit more fit for purpose. Internally just had the standard Supernub and HSB, have an npas to sling in at some point.

Sorry for the late reply. It's beautifully made and feels very close to the real deal. The slide racks like no other airsoft pistol. You can't feel the nozzle moving at all, which makes it feel very nice to rack. Loading the mags is tricky and slow. The baseplate retention spring often retracts inside the mag and I find I have to prod it with a screwdriver to get it to spring back in place. On a positive note, they look amazing and feel well-built. The trigger is weird. It's heavy, but also a little mushy. I don't like how it feels and it doesn't feel realistic IMO. Don't get me wrong, it's better than most other airsoft triggers, but it's far from feeling like the real thing. The hop is a bastard to adjust, but it's fine once it's set. It shoots 0.30g BBs nicely, but accuracy isn't it's party piece. The recoil impulse is tremendous, and it actually takes skill and some practice to accurately land follow-up shots. It's a proper training tool and great for collectors, but I think it'll struggle to keep up with more traditional type pistols. It's definitely a trade off of realism over airsoft playability, if that makes sense!

Shortys vs longbois

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.

The Magpul stocks will fit, CTR provides the best lockup with no wobble. As for grips it’s personal preference, Magpul, hogue, ergo or the BCM grip is great ( I have one for sale 🙃 ) but I’ve recently swapped to a reptilia as I have girly hands.

GBBRs? Don't mind if I do... Though, without any shells, this is a bit more reasonable for now... Still got a bunch of stuff I want to get for it. The build is only just beginning!

I've floated my latest marsupial fighting series idea to my bank manager. If all goes well, Mortal Wombat will be on your screens soon.

Where airsofters think their skill level is…. …. and where it actually is.

Not my normal setup but it was only like this for the day so was committed to digital celluloid.

I had them added. Jim at LC's engineering did them for me on mine and a mate's one. they were the first ones he did so he spent wuite a bit of time getting fonts etc as close as he could to the referance pictures I sent him. 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.
