Killbox: Taking Airsoft to the next level
Dan Robinson and 3 others reacted to Colin Allen for a topic
I once designed a couple of weekend immersive military experiences. In version 1, participants would arrive in the dark, ideally while it was raining, and would be sent off to dig slit trenches on the edge of a field. Once they had settled into their slit trenches and were just starting to heat up their ration packs, they would be ordered to move out immediately. On arrival at their new location, the process, or a similar one, would be repeated. Keep doing this until endex and then send them home. The alternative to this was to stick them in a barracks for a weekend, complete with ironing boards, irons, boot polish and all the other wonderful bits and pieces. Their first task would be to get their kit into a condition that would pass inspection by a grumpy former senior NCO, who would be well paid for throwing their kit on the floor, emptying their lockers and shouting at them. Once they had got their kit sorted out to his satisfaction, they would be sent out for an eight mile run in full kit, ideally in the rain, after which they would have to do PT on the parade ground. This would be followed by sorting out their now wet and scruffy kit, again subject to Mr Grumpy's inspection and approval. Then, get them to clear up the barracks before they get a chance to eat. Keep this going for a couple of days and send them home. I thought that these would provide a far more realistic insight into military life. I also had an RAF variant, which consisted of checking into a 5 star hotel for the weekend and running up a huge room service bill.4 points -

A new gun doesn’t immediately begin to customise you It may have appeared to do so If you leave off from the marriage part then you can work on getting a good range of spares with all the spare disposable income ….. But there’s always the danger of so much choice that you find yourself unable to decide and then find yourself twiddling your thumbs not doing anything with any of them3 points

It's a bit like getting a new girlfriend. You liked the look of her or she was cheap,(either way works),all the functions worked and she did what you wanted. Its when you get married that you see where changes can be made and like Airsoft those changes come at a price. It's around about this time that you may think about getting another model that suits you better or keep the one you have and get a backup.👍😉 Ouch!

Pulse Rifle
HutchBelfast and one other reacted to Nick G for a topic
As my GBBR pulse rifle build seems to be of interest to a few I thought I'd do a build thread sort of thing. Bear with me , I dont do 'tech' so the order of posts and pictures might well be a bit random ! I'm starting with a WE Thompson that I've been gifted. It's seen better days and came a cropper when an hpa experiment went very wrong, however I should be able to sort it given time. The upper reciever has cracked in a couple of places so I've ordered a replacement. Untill that arrives i've done a very rough and ready strengthening job with some scrap angle ally. Looks a bit frankenstein, but will hold the upper together for now which means I can crack on and get everything mocked up then fit the repacement when it's in pieces for final prep and paint. What I started with Snow Wolf body kit, there are lots of bits in the box ! Very basic strengthening job to hold the upper together for now. You can just see the cracks. The puls rifle outer barrel mounts via an aluminium adapter, on the aeg this also mounts onto the hop unit extension. The holes on the side of the block take M3 bolts that also secure the front brackets to the body. I plan to drill and tap the botom of the block and secure it to the handguard extension on the tommy to help support everything although it seems pretty robust just bolted to the body. In order to hold the hop unit and inner barrel into the GBBR upper I chopped the mounting lug off the spare barrel that came with the Thompson. This them mounts and secures the hop / inner in the standard fashion. If I had access to a lathe I would have shortened and turned down the outer so it would fit the mounting block in the way the aeg one does.2 points -
In case you didn't know, the bookings have been live for a couple of days now. This year the are open earlier than last year. Just search for National Airsoft Festival 2023 to find.2 points

I'm guessing the navy version would involve getting to know your battle buddy extremely well2 points -
Also.... where did you buy it from as certain shops apparently class stripping the slide off the gun to set the hop as "Voiding the warranty". As above tho if it's new and you've just bought it return it right now. Do not take tools to it, do not try and fix it just get your money back or a replacement.2 points

How do they perform, do they: 1.shoot straight 2. & have a reasonable fps, by reasonable fps I would say 250+ for the pistols & 285+ for the rifles. If points 1 & 2 are achieved, then leave them alone internally, they're not broke so you can't fix them so to speak, & attempts to usually go one of two ways, the manufacturer balance is upset & they end up worse, or alternatively you chuck more than their worth at a "tech" (?) just to gain a small improvement (hopefully). Now, no offence intended, but 3 of the 4 brands you've purchased are considered to be cheap & pretty mediocre in the scheme of things, chucking more money at them isn't gonna drastically improve quality or value. Essentially, if they work OK, use them until they don't, that could be a long time potentially, & when they finally do break, sell them for parts & get the kit you really need. As for the external cosmetic, your only limits are your imagination (& wallet), do your research as to what you need, which is not always what you want lol, it's easy to waste money on unnecessary dead weight that looks pretty lol. You don't need to send them to anyone, plenty info & guides on the net, diy👍 Edit: man above has faster fingers than me, but we're both singing from the same hymnsheet.2 points

Ahoy. I wouldn't spend a penny on the Ravens, unless you're using them as CQB primaries. But then, I wouldn't use a Raven as as CQB primary. What sort of "adjustments and customisation" are we talking here? Because if you send off a gun to a typical tech with a remit of "Make it betterer!" then it's a toss up whether you'll even get anything functional back. It's important to be clear about what they're not doing now, that you want them to do, or to do better. Semi-auto trigger response or trigger pull; rate of fire; burst fire. More power (or less), and better consistency (note that I don't say "range" or "accuracy" there, since those aren't necessarily the same thing). The ability to hop heavier BBs. Rewiring, or a shim and re-grease. Your KWA and Lancer are both reasonable spec to begin with, but aren't particularly common (and the KWA has a "V2.5" gearbox which might be a head-scratcher for techs), so I wouldn't send them to any rando. The only person I'd actually trust with anything decent is Luke at Negative Airsoft, or maybe Kingdom of Airsoft. Luke in particular can also do cosmetic customisation.2 points

Mmm, Lancer are known for their budget (but decent enough) M4s. That Lancer ARP-9-a-like is a bit more upmarket than their usual fare, I'd be interested to know if it justifies the price.1 point

How old is it ? if you've only just got it then I'd send it back. Certainly on my G18 the trigger doesn't release the hammerif the slide is off. As I recal the last Raven 17 I had on the bench had the same issue of the hammer getting stuck down. If you decide to replace the hammer unit , the WE one fits the Raven , however the last Raven 17 I had apart needed a WE G18 hammer unit.1 point

Do it right. Swap the nozzle for one that feeds and seals on the zci unit, then build your two barrels on those. Also be aware that those extra 7 centimetres of barrel will dramatically increase the muzzle energy, so your gun may end up being too hot.1 point

Not quite. You still have to apply for an airgun loicence, but it's effectively an automatic add-on and only costs £5, instead of £72 for 5 years. It's shockingly close to being sensible.1 point

Middle class, maybe. But not prepubescent in this case. The named director is 44-45 years old. He's also a "NFT and Metaverse specialist" at another company he's director of. And a crypto investor!

******Be warned that reading up on this is at your own risk and isn’t for the faint hearted***** At the very least this can result in crossing your legs, wincing and horrific images in your imagination Operation Spanner covers the investigation and prosecutions - the whole thing never went away. Prosecutions took place escalating through magistrates, crown court and to the Old Bailey with guilty verdicts covering 8 convictions sentenced between 18 months and 4 1/2 years Appeals were unsuccessful in the appeals court, House of Lords and European court of human rights Guilty verdicts remained standing. Protests, a legal review and proposed legislation changes came to nothing. For @Killboxthe situation remains that to the very least ‘consent is limited’ Let alone a basic duty of care if you’re ‘shocking’ someone who doesn’t realise that they have a heart condition. It’s quite timely to think about a reckless act and being imprisoned for manslaughter1 point

The body fits pretty well, I've had to take a little bit off it in certain places where it was very tight, still making adjustments to that but the first proper mock up looks decent. The round counter sets to 95 when the mag is in as it should. Small micro swith and circuit board fits into the top of the mag well. I've yet to solder up the sensor that should count it down as rounds are fired. This fits into the front of the outer garrel inside the triangular support. I've now added the stock to the mock up and that works fine (although it wont retract fully because of the angle ally on the upper) The gun cycles but sticks on the mag occasionally, this doesn't seem to happen outside of the body so when it's apart again I need to see if something is affecting the mag position slightly. It's very much a work in progress with lots of things to solve along the way and going to be a longish project but I think the cool factor when it's done will be worth it.1 point

Can’t be bothered to try and make a barrel clamp on RIS fit under the front sight so I trimmed a Polymer Magpul Mlok extended rail to suit 😂 Clamps through the holes in the fore end and keep the light out the way. If my repro light had threaded holes I could lose the clamp and bolt it directly - might invest in some taps and try threading it.1 point -
