"Domination" seems to be a popular word. As far as I can see, it's not about the actual experience of airsofting so much as willy-waggling over having the absolute peak top extreme bestest gnu on site. And to be fair, renting a master-race gun for a day is a far cheaper way of slaking that thirst than building one yourself. Me, I get more satisfaction from each hit the worse the BB-flinger is. Shotgun, AEP, unhopped revolver and even springer pistol kills are the most memorable, not BRRRRTing.

My teen brother plays with a combo of a CYMA M14, and a spring pistol from a sporting goods store, spray-painted red and white. He won the QC lottery, and the spring pistol actually shoots straight. It's downright hilarious to see him getting kills on guys running 1K+ HPA rigs with it...

So - I occasionaly wear one of these olive Webtex shemaghs around my neck (some events even mandate them for opfor kit). For my own edification - are we saying that some people find it offensive to wear something like this?

On the odd occasion I take out mine I connect it to the HPA tank but not the battery. Rotate the barrels by hand to chamber one BB and fire. Rotate to next barrel and shoot. No battery, no spinny spin spin.

Boomarms has always been a great place in the past to get unique or hard to find parts as well as good prices on more common items. However their recent service has taken a really bad turn. Their stock indication is a joke with 4 of my recent orders only partially fulfilled as they never had stock. These parts are still showing in stock on their website. Their communication is also terrible. They are not responding to most emails. What really has annoyed me is my latest delivery. This was only a partial shipment as 7 items were not actually stock. However what was shipped had many issues. 6 items are missing that they say were shipped and 3 items were the wrong version of what I ordered. For now I advise people to stay away from them until they can sort themselves out. James

You'll want a VSR / GBB style bucking for that, e.g. a Maple Leaf Autobot like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294329296678?hash=item448764a726 Opinions will vary about what hardness to use. I'm linking to the 75 as a middle-of-the-road option. You'll get suggestions to go harder or softer: t's up to you who to believe.

If you're unsure about how much it's worth then put a post in here https://airsoft-forums.uk/forum/151-appraisals/ It's better than finding your advert here https://airsoft-forums.uk/topic/26578-macks-airsoft-dreamers-of-the-week-thread/

Nothing wrong with a bit of...... oh wait, wrong forum You mean the winning is all that matters attitude, usually found in those with major insecurities and the knowledge that no woman is ever going to touch them in that special place without payment first I seriously hope that's a NGRS one. Mind you even if it is 10% off RRP is still pushing into Mack's territory *Edit* It is the NGRS version

On a different note, is the Jerusalem Post hiring proof readers? If not they should be

A little job for @Arrtee99 Making a schofield both shorter and also adding a hop, and a little bit of fettling to make the action a bit smoother.

Yasss. I've just picked up a ridiculous 1980's Japanese single-shot Remington 870, and it is so much fun

No, you're fine. See @Leo Greer's first response. Voltage determines how fast the motor wants to spin, and your gun is designed to run on 11.1V. Higher C / amps from the battery is always better, the motor will only draw what it needs. You never want the battery to be the limiting factor.

I cant remember off the top of my head, but it did look nice. That was in a random hobbby shop in Osaka, they had a very long wall full of guns and racks and racks of upgrade parts. The exchange rate is very good at the moment and you could pick a bargin, especially if you get it tax free. I got a load of good quality fishing gear and saved myself a few quid.

I do admire the ballsy 60's style advertising, that is quite something. As to the actual ad, well, the audacity.

As Shamal said, you'll be able to post an add here: Electric Pistols - Airsoft Forums UK (airsoft-forums.uk) But you'll need a few interactions with the forum first to prove you're not a robot ?

That thing looks disgusting, struggling to understand what these excessively expensive toys really offer. I don't even get the £1k recoil builds as the diminishing returns are huge.

I doubt that anyone you meet at an airsoft site would find it offensive. However, in some Muslim traditions green ones are worn by those who are regarded as descendants of the Prophet and the Imam Ali. I wouldn’t worry about it.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

It's kinda all crips & bluds innit #metoo

Nah, Kris Chanski

Well, after the review period PayPal have resolved this in my favour. I don't believe Bunny Workshop even responded to them. I have had a few recent bad experiences with HK dealers. However Rainbow 8, Armsaholic, WGC and even jkarmy have been great. I will stick to them for now. James

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/polarstar-powered_1/polstar-euro-style-build-speedsoft_i48314 £2000 and it doesn't even come with a mag!

I found my g&g only like 3s packs. I run tattu 1050 3s packs which are 75c if memory serves and max draw of 150c. They are great. Inad them as flight packs originally but they fit edge on inside stock brilliantly. No good if you have to fit in a buffer tube but if your mxc9 has the foot type it might drop in nicely.

No such thing as “too much”. Voltage controls the motor speed, discharge is the actual power the battery is putting out. In terms of voltage: A battery with too high of voltage can cause overspin or PME, but that G&G is designed for an 11.1v and should run it just fine. In terms of discharge: there is no such thing as “too much discharge”. A motor will only draw what it needs, unless there’s a short in the circuit. Thus, the battery can be too weak, but not too strong. I commonly run my loaner AEGs on a 5A 140C 11.1v.

Ever tried chronoing a tri shot down one? Firing 3 bbs down one can give some interesting results

Most sites I've attended use the "tube" type chrono, they tend to struggle with anything full auto, even guns with the slowest rof trigger errors.

How would sites chrono it?

Most chronographs should work just fine for your purposes, as the chrono will register each BB separate from its neighbors unless you have an error...

In this video there are what were the 3 common chronos in paintball back in the day: Big red - professional site chrono …. Turn it on, shoot over it and it’s tough for bad aim Little yellow - my first personal chrono. A bit of a pain as you have to press the button and then reset each shot. But it did the job Grey X radar - my second personal chrono. No need to keep resetting, just hold the button and shoot as much as you like A site version was/is also available, which you just turn on and can be mounted on a tripod or stand But now I’ll use a Virtue Clock, which is point and shoot (it’s possible to chrono someone from a bit of a distance - which may not be the most accurate method but handy for marshalling in game before approaching to make a spot check)

It’s also dependant on what chronograph you have access to and it’s capabilities If it’s a chamber / tube style that you shoot though then it would be ‘very carefully’ If it’s one that your shoot over then that’s much easier If you have to hold a button then many hands are required (unless you can tape it down), if it can be switched on and fired over without touching then it can be used with ease

It hadn't occurred to me, is it 1 live barrel or all of them ?, if it's just 1 then my suggestion should potentially work, but if it's all of them it'd be like Russian roulette, good luck with that ?

carefully

A few mid game action shots from last week ??

WGC Shop are the only HK store I trust completely.

That's absolutely shite, literally criminal, no doubt giving you the used parts left over following an upgrade. Can you claim the cash back via your card issuer or whatever payment method you used ?

Finally finished my ICS L85A2

One from this weekend, first outdoor skirmish in almost a year!!

It would seem I'm developing a bit of a B&T obession.

My wall above computer atm ......

Filling the void of no pewing for a few months (bloody work shifts) by tinkering with my AKs. Put my RPK back to wood stock and put a folding stock on my AK. Keeping the side folding reciever because I know I'll want to put it back on an AK in the future. Next pewing will be first weekend of August at Battle Lakes. May have to say goodbye to the RPK within the year due to a possible move to London as a mature student. So I need to give it a good few run outs.

Here they are VFC MK11 MOD0 SR-25 & VFC MK20 SSR, both GBB & both absolutely stunning! Dream to finally have the MK11 I have a thing for chunky straight mags

Nerd stuff, related to my pretend-space-soldier costume. It's from a far future sci-fi setting predicated on absolute ideological zealotry, where the slightest digression from the approved narrative in deed or word or even suspected thought results in accusations of heresy and non-humanity. So, nothing at all like the kind, gentle, nuanced and balanced political debate of CURRENT_YEAR.

Managed to find a HWS 1858, bonus is it's a long one. Well, a pair in all fairness. I'm not too fussed about boxes but these have Clint Eastwood on the cover so that's gotta be worth +10 tactical

Had a broken tappet plate and since I was in there I fitted a NanoAAB mosfet. It's a Tokyo Marui M14 with a wooden stock and firing at 330 FPS on 0.2g. I'll be using it this weekend as I've got a woodland day. I'm still deciding if I want to S hop it or not. The range on the M14, straight out the box, is pretty impressive so do I need to tinker with it?

So this one was a bit of a gamble. listed as boneyard on BBguns4less with no details of the issues. I had a few NGRS AK parts floating around so I bought it and when it arrived it was missing the fire selector lever that sits inside the receiver and is attached to the fire selector. The hop dial, which sets the hop, was snapped off and missing. Luckily I has a spare selector lever and I replicated the dial from another of my NGRS AK's and 3D printed it and it works well. It looks like this was a brand new, in the box, AEG that they robbed for parts - very happy with the result. And I also picked up a Canik TP9 whcih fires differently from about 99% of other airsoft pistols. It's striker fired, not hammer fired, and I quite like it. but me being me, I couldn't leave it alone as the extended mag release tended to dump the mag when holstered in my Warrior universal holster so off the the 3D printer again to make a 3mm thick extension to replace the standard 5mm version that comes with the pistol.

Best part about moving back to Midlands? Enough sites within a reasonable distance to get this shit back out again.
