The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Nixon and 3 others reacted to Dan Robinson for a topic
Not exactly a day of airsofting, but went big-boy pew pewing with the boy and my dad. Stumbletts Clay shoot near Horam. Been a couple of years since I last did this and was atrocious. The lad however.... Certainly kicked my arse with some pretty tricky stands. I remember wheb the place just opened up and was literally a shed and a couple of knocked together leaning posts for your guns. Over the years it's been improved and now the open area is like a sodding golf course. The lad's first time out with a 12-bore too. It's been poachers guns and 410 cartridges upto now. To top it all off we had a layover on the way home to pick up yet another pew pew. 20220717_101401.mp44 points -
What are the odds? I was whingeing about the residue from the tape yesterday so my wife is making me and my little group some bands! As you can see, there’s two sizes. The smaller ones are 19” long to get around my arms. The bigger ones are an enormous 25.5” for the absolute units that I play with! We used my skinny little legs as a guide for the bigger ones…3 points

Any upgrades that can be done to the Jag Precision JW3 TTI Combat Master?
Enid_Puceflange and one other reacted to Alimcd for a topic
Clean the barrel and hop rubber, see if the issue has gone away. if it persists, check how the hop rubber is sitting on the barrel and that it’s central. You should be able to see if the contact patch is in the centre of the barrel’s rebate. If that was central and everything is clean, it’s likely the hop arm is slightly deformed and putting more pressure on the near side of the bb than the far side. This can be remedied by bending it back into shape to give equal pressure on both sides of the bb.2 points -

TM NGRS MK18 HELP what mods?
Floperator and one other reacted to Davegolf for a topic
Once you go inside it can snowball out of control, as said the innards are not really deisgned to take more power. Even a straight spring swap to an M95 will wear the sector gear fast. https://sixgunsmithing.com/2018/03/19/why-upgrade-your-tm-gears/ You will only realise big gains in range and accuracy by doing a lot internally, and as most will say - unless its done right it will have a short lifespan comparatively. I would look to fit the longest Prometheus 6.03 barrel in (275-300mm i think) this will give a little FPS boost. A G&G green, or prommy purple (more grip/backspin/hop with less pressure) coupled with an SCS or Super Nub (centres BB in hop chamber consistently) will improve range and accuracy slightly.2 points -

Thought it was probably worth a shout out to the guys running Red Alert Newbury. Down there last Sunday and had an absolute blast. Great marshalling team who were not only actively keeping an eye on things but plenty in number. Chrono guys actually understand joules and are strict when it comes to questionable or borderline pews. Didn’t have any issues with cheaters, didn’t get hosed and I had another awesome day of play. I wilted as the day went on and called it quits at about 4 - it was just too hot! almost forgot, Chili con carne for lunch was delicious! Top marks2 points

I've only been once and it was their first game ever, so there were teething issues; haven't been recently so I can't say if they've sorted those problems, but the site itself is lovely and they had a really great foundation for sure.1 point -

First game in 5 weeks and I've missed this. Took the m21 and my 1.1J spring VSR to the site, but they didn't have .32s in stock (or at least they didn't have any of the brands I like and I'm picky with my ammo) so I ended up running my spring VSR. Was a really great day, as there were lower numbers due to people getting scared of a bit of sunshine and warmth and there were very few ghillies for once, which felt great being one of them even though I was only using my Russian cobra hood because I didn't want to cook. Skill level was... pretty poor. I spent a lot of time being the front line with my bolt action rifle as I slowly crawled up along the flanks, because nobody was pushing all day so my stealthy slow-crawl was faster than the rest of my team. During one of the afternoon games, I did a slight naughty because our team was getting stomped horribly on a rolling assault where we were the attackers. We just weren't making any ground and I was the front line with my sniper rifle, so I continued slow crawling until I was fairly near their spawn. They could've easily avoided me by going through the foliage, they could've easily overwhelmed me by charging past (they had no idea where I was, but with a bolt action I can't hit that many of them if they just charge past), but they kept walking slowly down the path towards my kill-zone and I ended up spawn trapping a good portion of the enemy team for about 10 mins. Desperate times called for desperate measures and my team still didn't push, even with a bunch of the enemy team not able to reinforce the base we needed to take. When it was clear my team still wasn't pushing the objectives, a marshall asked me politely to move on and so I did and that's where I called it for the day. Was almost out of ammo in my VSR after keeping them pinned anyway, but if that wouldn't get my team to push, nothing would. That said, I got a lot of great shots, but more importantly I played with an MED in mind, despite not having one as I wanted to see if I could bring my 2.3J VSR along and still be effective. Next game day I will take the plunge and bring the 2.3J HPA VSR instead because there were many shots I could've done if I had it today, but there were no shots taken under 30m. I think I have the site knowledge and the skill to make it work, even though Worthing Airsoft is so overgrown right now, plus I found a bunch of new spots to play around. Used my p226 as my sidearm and every time I do I come away saying to myself I need to use this pistol more. It's by far my best performing GBB pistol, reaching out accurately to 50m and can still fairly reliably hit the 60m target, plus it cycles like a dream. Also, the magazines don't have those damned pins in the bottom, having a screw in the baseplate instead so they're so much easier to maintain and work on. Highlight of the day is definitely dropping a shot onto a player at about 80m with my 1.1J VSR. Fired one and there's no way it went anywhere near the guy, so I angled it slightly, took another shot and then a second or two later the guy put his hand up and looked over in my direction with a confused expression on his face. He didn't see me, but the shot felt amazing. 80m with a 1.1J bolt action is a nice shot whichever way you look at it, especially using grey BBs like I do so I had to adjust based on my estimate of the range and my knowledge of how my rifle works because I couldn't see the BBs themselves Already looking forward to next game day. Will bring my big boy VSR next time and try running it alongside an mp5k on a sling and my p226 to try and get used to it. If not, worst case if I want to run an SMG alongside a BASR/DMR I can always use the mp7 in a leg holster, but I'd like to run a pistol because I love my pistols1 point -

Vortex are good optics but you can get clone red dots that will be totally fine for airsoft pretty cheap on ebay. Distances are short, there is no recoil to throw the sight off zero and they regularly get shot out so expensive sights are really more for bragging rights than anything. 13 is perfect age to start out. Kids get more out of it, play with much more enthusiasm and in my experience cheat less than the older players. Be glad they don't collect lego as my 12 yr olds addiction makes the airsoft money pit look like a pothole.1 point -

The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
JamesAirsofterAgent reacted to Floperator for a topic
My first night game at Reforger last night, had an absolute blast. First thing about night games is that it all hits a bit different when you've already done a days work, I got there about 5:30 (half hour early!), and left at half past midnight, and this morning now I'm back at work I feel like I've gone 5 rounds with Mike Tyson. But in a good way. Humidity was very high for the first part of the evening and I sweated more than I ever have in a day game, but luckily it cooled down a bit and a breeze picked up once the sun had gone down. Was interesting trying to put into practice some of the tips I got on here, mixed with my own bright, and not so bright, ideas. First thing was that, yes, red filters on your gunlight are good for preserving your night vision, but not so useful if every other player is running very bright white lights... I'll be taking the filter off if I do it again. The little trick with the glowstick taped to the acog fibreoptic worked a charm, but I didn't seal it off as well as I could and there was some bleed through from the edges, which may have accounted for one or two of my deaths. Very glad I bought some Bolle Pilots to use rather than my usual mesh goggles, I would have struggled to see anything at all through mesh. I did try wearing my prescripition glasses under the Pilots but it was just far too humid for that and they steamed up completely before I'd even left the safezone. I had an idea to take some cheap cob stick lights and put them forward of our position to silhouette the enemy, but this was a bit of a miscalculation on my part; it just meant that the other team avoided that area completely, flanked us and shot me in the back. So I used them in the wrong way but the principle is sound, just use them to funnel movement rather than light people up per se. Identifying teammates was perhaps the trickiest thing - for the last game we decided on a call-and-response so that if you saw someone and weren't sure you could confirm if they were a teammate, with some attendant risk to yourself. I still had a shameful amount of teamkills over the whole evening though. The night itself was run very well, no dramas or misbehaviour at all, hit taking was good. We played some new and different games - one an equivalent of that 'wink murder' party game, we also did some 3v3 and 1v1 in the village killhouse, winner stayed on. Overall would definitely do it again, with the caveat that I had to leave work two hours early to get there and this may not always be possible, saturday night would probably be a better night for it.1 point -

It can be done, but 2 litres of water per person adds up quickly, and that's all weight that the site owner (or a minion) is going to have to haul around, along with the usual consumables and rental gear. It's not a burden that I'd want to put on sites. They wouldn't need to bring enough for everyone - at first. Just the lazy forgetful clumsy unfortunates. But there's an endless appetite for free stuff, and if you knew your site was giving it away, would you keep bringing your own? It's far easier to inculcate dependency than wean people off of it. Bit of politics on the stage there.1 point

Best is definitely the Wolverine Bolt for my VSR. It got me into HPA sniping and it really changed the game on how well my VSR performs. Absolutely amazing piece of kit! Worst is probably... any of the random sale items I bought thinking "that's a good price and I might use it in the future" and then never used and relegated to my kit bag. Fortunately it's not that much, but it doesn't change the fact that they were awful purchases.1 point

Best: 5.11 CAMS bag (tldr a 190l bag with wheels, essentially a massive suitcase). Fits all my kit in bar my RIFs and saves so much time, space and energy. Worst: Every bolt action RIF I've ever purchased, because I know all too well at this point that I enjoy building them more than I enjoy using them... and you loose a shit load on them when they're inevitably sold.1 point

Right recently I was royally ripped off while buying a well mp7 of the Mong , when it arrived the condition was shit it was an ex two-tone which wasn’t mentioned in the ad and all in all just a shite gun , so I complained firmly but politely to the seller and received back nothing but attitude from then on any way long story short after paying £134’ish in total from buying it and then sending it back for a refund of only £110 (he said he wasn’t a retailer so wouldn’t reimburse me for fees as P&P as the gun did match the advert) tried getting the rest back through paypal but that was a dead end . Now on to the reason for the title , over the wknd a TM came up on the Mong seemed a bit too good to be true BUT after a bit of back and fourth with the seller the vibes where good so bit the bullet and bought it , arrived this am and all I can say is upon opening the box I genuinely did feel like the proverbial kid in a sweet shop ! With all the bits’n’bobs I got for an excellent price . So whole point of the ramble is to just let you all know their are still players selling kit that you don’t have to have some kind of previous ‘history’ with to not be continually worried your about to get stitched up ! here’s the ad for the well and the TM and a pic of the contents of the box , he found a couple of extra bits so chucked them in the box free of charge ! 😍1 point

TM MWS DMR Build
werkzeug reacted to Cyberlawyer for a topic
At higher joule limits heavier bb’s make more sense. A 2.5 joule DMR rifle will get much more benefit from firing .45g bbs at 345 FPS than a 1.3 joule full auto rifle will get from firing .45g bbs at 249 FPS. The original poster said he was working to joule limits and seemed unhappy that his longer barrel had joule crept up to 1.4 joules. Given heavier ammo also joule creeps (and the MWS joule creeps like crazy) he will likely get better range shooting something in the .32g - .36g range if trying to stay under 1.3j to be U.K. legal. If he is prepared to semi lock his gun and get up into 2j + territory then heavier bbs make absolute sense, but then the longer barrel wouldn’t be an issue.1 point -
