So I'm making my own grenades...
Dan Robinson and 3 others reacted to Jez_Armstrong for a topic
Oh I see! Yeah I did have a look at their Facebook page and it seems they/he is making some kind of epi pen grenade, from my thinking it's just far to complicated to set off It needs to be simple, push a button and throw the thing, from the video I saw you had to do about 4 or 5 steps before the thing even gets set off And because now I'm unfortunately down to just one 3D printer in my workshop I won't be making these at a really big production but I do feel it might be a good idea to give away the design for anyone to print themselves and draw up a wiring diagram and how to so you can make it yourself The shell itself takes 18 hours to print and assembly of the internals (if you're handy with a soldering iron) takes about 30 minutes Cost wise, it's whatever your 3d printer costs to run for 18 hours which according to my smart meter was about £6 The board costs £10 The buttons cost £8.99 for a pack of 8 The speaker was from a £5.99 bluetooth speaker I got off amazon and ripped out It takes an 18650 battery and I used an 18650 battery holder inside You'd need some wire, a soldering iron and a spare SD card I don't have time to sit here and make X amount of these I'm just a one man band but I'm happy to give my creation away to the community4 points -
Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
MistakenMexican and 3 others reacted to Super64 for a topic
https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/19722-rare-we-colt-m4-co2-rifle £1230 for a WE CQBR with mags and a few accessories. That’s massively over priced I hear you say. Ah, but hold on. He’s ex-infantry who wants something more than just a normal airsoft gun. So this is a rare WE Colt M4 (yeah, there’s no Colt trademarked receiver, so it’s just a bog standard WE CQBR with a couple of internal upgrades), which is a fully upgraded milsim rifle. Now you see where the value lies 😉. Honestly mate, you’ll be lucky to get half that price 🤔4 points -

Actually use a gun before spending the same amount on "upgrades". Often you'll get bugger all improvements. Decent fieldcraft will beat Gucci kit. If you're going to send your gun away to a tech then do your research first. To many people call themselves a tech but don't know what they're doing. Play your way. Just because someone else wants to play a certain way doesn't mean you have to.2 points -

Don't buy any of Avenger63 over priced shite on the classifieds. Be careful of buyers near Dundonald, Northern Ireland, they are probably Stephen Glennie trying to scam you *AGAIN*. Always use Paypal and send an Invoice or request an Invoice. NEVER use Friends and Family.2 points -
HPA is not magic pixie dust. It does not immediately make your gun the bestestest around. GBB is fun and not as much of a pain in the arse as people make it out to be (if you do your research and buy the right thing - which hopefully you'd be doing anyways!) And as a "wish other people knew/did this", if you're going to tinker with your gun buy a bloody chrono 😄2 points

Don't waste money on cheap snipers, anyway. Upgrades are often side-grades. Heavier BBs are the cheapest real upgrade. Most successful YouTubers are presenting a fictional narrative, not a documentary. The rules are more what you'd call guidelines. Play the way you'd like others to play, even and especially if your standards exceed those of the site's marshals and their mates. And meme magic is more real than Toyko Marui magic.2 points

NO TRADES OR SWAPS Selling up some gear, this is the first to go. Full details below. Gun has krylon on it but can be removed. Has been intentionally weathered to give it a used look. Been skirmished maybe 5-6 times total. An amazing gun and no expense spared. Only what was needed to be changed internally to make it better has been done. Has a good kick and you can run it on propane no problem and Mapp gas under 10 degrees. This thing is an absolute beauty and pictures don't do it enough justice. Rifle with no mag (everything else included) - £1100 2 x stock MWS mags with genuine magpuls, no leaks - £40 each Collection only (From Portsmouth area) for the rifle, its too big and the cost for insured postage will be silly, not to mention shipping gas is fun.. For everything else it depends on how many or what you want so we will talk. Will do a better deal for anyone that will take it all. TM MWS - some krylon, you can remove if you want.

I should imagine, & I believe he's rightly complimenting you Jez, that the speed you've turned this round & subsequently refined it shows its/your potential for a multitude of uses, or the manufacture of other products that can be used in all aspects & scenarios in airsoft. 👍 (or maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick & I'm talking bollocks lol🤣)1 point

Scam Sale on Used Airsoft

Also, be aware that if you see this WE M14 EBR for sale anywhere using this photo, it’s also one of my pictures of a gun I sold a while ago. I know of one person so far that’s had this offered to them for around £200 using this photo. £200 is very cheap for a standard WE M14, let alone a fully trademarked EBR with accessories. So it suggests it’s a scam as opposed to the current owner wanting to sell.1 point

Use what works where and how you play. My battle belt/webbing rig is a horrible mixed camo mutoid thing that works very well thanks. It cost less than £20 and serves well for skirmishes and post apocalyptic games. The solid no frills CYMAs and G&Gs do the same. Keep it functional and simple is the essential thing.1 point -

Hey! xD (I do agree on this for most people though) My answer isn't helpful because I started a long time ago and haven't actually changed much. For me it's mostly just knowledge on manufacturers that would stop being available, like Tanaka Works and Western Arms. I wish I could've bought some of their stuff while it was still sold outside of Japan... I think for actual useful stuff it'd be that modern kit =/= good kit. My US Vietnam belt kit is amazing, but it's very much an old design; not a strip of molle in sight!1 point -
DE M908a Spring Change for better FPS
ak2m4 reacted to RostokMcSpoons for a topic
I can personally recommend the Macaron 50 deg + Omega combo. The 50 is quite soft which means it can give more spin, but eventually it'll get chewed up and need replacing. A simple job. Hop rubbers are considered a 'consumable'. The 70 degree one in @Fatboy40's specification is a bit stiffer, and therefore more resilient when under the extra pressures his DMR will run at. Always a good idea to try here first... https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/hop-up-buckings-nubs because @ak2m4 is here on the forums and he's beyond helpful with any tech questions you might have I've got an ASG M105 spring in mine... different makes will give different results for the same rating so you might have to buy a couple before you hit the ideal power level. But hey they're cheap enough, and the quick change system makes them relatively painless to fit. If one is slightly too powerful and you can't be arsed to source a less powerful one, then you can always start cutting coils off the end (I've never had to as yet). Again, ak2m4 might be able to help with his experience. https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/springs ZCI barrels have a good rep, plenty here... https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/inner-barrels I've not got around to changing barrel on mine, I had a poor experience when I first 'upgraded' my TM AK47 with a tight bore, and then had no-end of jams with BBs failing to get through properly. I think that was more down to the poor state of the cheap ammo that I used back then, they're probably fine now... but my DE runs accurately with the stock barrel. One day I'll try a replacement - more accuracy is always welcomed! One more item to consider is the motor. The standard grey motor in the DE's is quite cheap and not the best. It can get a bit toasty under heavy load, so this https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/shs-high-torque-motor-16tpa-long is a recommended (but not essential!) upgrade... just a straight swap for the existing motor.1 point -

Do wear what's cool... temperature-wise I get very sweaty running around in my kit (British Army MTP under-shirt + jacket, combat trousers, belt rig) so always take along a couple of undershirts to change into (one for lunchtime, one for end of the day) so I don't get too cold when I stop running around. That's even during the winter. (Maybe I need to invest in some high quality running or hiking undershirts) I tried a cheapo combat vest from eBay. Made me sweat horribly, so I remain wary of plate-carriers and other stuff that'll add to the heat and sweat retention around the torso.1 point -

Just to echo what everyone else has said really. - My G&G cm16 raider out performed my LCT AK out the box. So price isn't everything. - play how you want to play, find what you like doing before buying all the gnus. - you don't need all the shiny 'operator' kit to start with. Unless you want to look like a member of 24 SAS 'the Autists'. - try different sites.1 point -

This one I feel in my bones. Especially as weekenders are a thing I do.... There are a number of things that, as I looked around the hobby (after first rental) that I do know instead of getting deep in, so here is a short list. 1. Budget Airsofting is possible and enjoyable, patience is the key 2. Good boots are simply a must as part of the setup cost 3. Most people forget mags and batteries (and charger) when considering cost of starting 4. I hike so a back bladder was part of my start up costs - nothing ruins a last game as much as not being hydrated1 point -
