Stuck compensator on outer barrell
Enid_Puceflange and 3 others reacted to AttackBunny for a topic
I have tried twisting it both ways, with tape around the outer barrel and then mullgrips to secure it and screwdriver through the compensator to rotate and it’s just twisting the tape around on the barrel… if I have been tightening, it’s going to be tight now 😂4 points -
https://prefired.co.uk/ads/el-aks74u-aeg-with-mods-and-original-parts-to-return-to-stock-if-needed/ Struggling to see where the justification for the £600 price tag. Considering it an E&L Essential with some unspecified brand of internal "upgrades" which consist of a hopup and tight bore inner barrel, and replica Zenitco parts Also the proof of ownership paper looks to be photoshop in so could be a scammer.3 points

Has Airsoft changed, or is it just me?
gavinkempsell and 2 others reacted to Tommikka for a topic
This links into something that sparked a conversation recently. We play a game and therefore don’t have the real life worries of being wounded or killed - we just pop back up again following respawn I played CQB a couple of months ago, and the end result was a battered body with a large grin. During one of the games I was lasting a matter of seconds - running in the door and mostly getting shot, turn around back to the door, compose myself, gather a handful of players and repeat with the objective of trying to get a couple of us through Contrast this one extreme with the other extreme when I first played events over 15 years ago Respawn was at either end of the field: Game on Two teams meet in the middle You get eliminated Walk all the way to the back of the field, then return to the middle I quickly became very adverse to being shot, and unless needing to reload etc via the safe zone then there’s the temptation to walk back a bit then turn back in game Put in appropriate game rules for spawns etc and I think that takes away one motivation for cheating (some people will cheat anyway) At one of our events we tried out a medic rule with punch cards Players had the choice of putting their hand up and walking to a respawn point (a marshal within a reasonable distance) Or laying on the ground calling for a medic Instead of most medic spawns I’ve seen with the medic staying close enough to combat but trying to preserve themselves I was watching medics crawl almost to the brink of a ridge to punch the card of eliminated players We found it successful and a useful tactic for faction leaders, but something we have only used the once to keep it for certain circumstances3 points -

You need to buy a gas blow-back rifle then. Lots of parts that are real-steel interchangeable, beautiful clacky bolt mechanism, decent trigger response. RECOIL All oily bits, no electrical bits. Realism with every 30 round mag change!3 points -
I did some work on my mates car for him and in payment he gave me a pew that I didn't have in my collection..... An Ares Scar L. It didn't work (i knew this, he knows i like playing with them to revive them!) so i got to it. stripped, cleaned, greased, shimmed, confused about this EFCS malarkey, figured it out, chrono'd at 0.6j (0.28g) and wondered why the ambidextrous selector was in a bag in the box.... OH MY GOD. what a faff. No, scratch that, WHAT A MONUMENTAL PAIN IN THE ASS THAT IS!!! Now i have patience. I'm an engineer. things that come apart should go back together (with the odd left over screw of course) but even i gave up with that!! Nightmare job. Anyway. Scar L now 1.1J on a 0.28 and with the help of the internet, firing semi/3 shot. Safe is more of a suggestion on behalf of the selector switch (that ISNT ambi!!!!!) Just thought i'd vent/share. LOL.2 points

I quite like the programmer, although I recently had to wire it to Deans. Changing the VZ58 to Deans delivered an unexpected bonus; the Deans connectors are just the right size to keep the three battery cells in exactly the right places to make refitting the handguard simple, rather that the nightmare it was before.2 points -

Video games I think have influenced the die alot thing. Death in games is very gradual now, mistakes cost less. I used to play roguespear years ago with some military online buddies, 2 shots and you were dead, crippled and then dead. Loved it. I think the player base, getting younger with Thier experience of the world was bound to change things...that's ok. Gotta adapt or spectate2 points

Stuck compensator on outer barrell
AttackBunny and one other reacted to DerDer for a topic
The last time I had to use a stock pot filled with recently boiled water. Took about ten minutes of soaking. Also quite a few goes with a wrench. Whoever put the threadlock on it was very generous. Something like certain M4s are very easy to remove the front end and separate the outer barrel from the rest. Imagine the Scorpion will not be a similar case. Take your time and try not to get frustrated. Easier said than done admittedly. Good luck with it.2 points -

AttackBunny and one other reacted to Enid_Puceflange for a topic
I had a similar situation not that long ago I boiled the kettle and poured the hot water over the offendingly stuck part, only took a few seconds for the heat to radiate through the part that was stuck and with little effort it unscrewed. Obvs, if you attempt this, have the rif pointing downwards over the sink to stop water going up and into your barrel2 points -

Returning which gun?
Rogerborg and one other reacted to RostokMcSpoons for a topic
There have been a few threads on the same subject recently, so a search will give you more detail, but the recommendations will be around Cyma (lots of choice) Specna Arms (lots of choice) Double Eagle (yes, really!) m904/m906/m908 With your budget you could also go with Novritsch SSR4, or be a guinea pig and try one of the Rossi's which look interesting, or the new Delta Armoury guns currently touted at Patrol Base - which seem reasonably priced but no idea how good they are! Don't forget some good eye pro, decent boots, extra mags (I love my Lonex flash mags), and a bit of webbing to carry your kit on...2 points -

BigStew and one other reacted to Cannonfodder for a topic
I'd say yes and no. There have been quite a few changes where newer tech is slowly adopted, such as lipos and mosfets, but they're nowhere near essential and nothing touted as a game changer has remotely been anything like one2 points -

Latest arrival Not much info regarding these online, and YT videos are very old and scarce Im pleasantly surprised with the build quality of the TM plastics and more metal than I had expected. Still to be tested as my batteries are deans and I don’t want to change this at all. more a collectors piece than skirmishable, but it will get an outing one day The few YT videos out there show partial markings, this has full “UZI” on the receiver, probably something to do with different markets, but didn’t think that TM bothered with that stuff2 points -

Previously seen these go for £300-£400, usually with only 2 or 3 mags though, maybe that'll ease the pain a wee bit ?1 point

Looking for a team
Rogerborg reacted to Emergencychimps for a topic
If you rock up to a stirling airsoft event on your own, you'll be put with a group or a group is made from people like you who are on their own or in smaller groups. It's an easy way to get chatting. As for chatting at games, can be hard. I have found a few tips help. Compliment people on their game play, good shots, nice move etc all increase the game play. Ask about their gear/guns, (be warned, some never shut up if you do that.) I have my first name on a velcro tag on my chest, I think it just makes it easier for people to chat to me etc as they don't have to remember my name or feel awkward if they have forgotten it. Also, remember other people are often on their own, know as much or as little as you do and basic questions etc such as "how long do we have for lunch", do we come back between games etc all help to break that ice.1 point -
I'm convinced TM should re-release their whole back catalogue as either GBBRs or NGRS's and then just buy an island with the profits1 point

Leather is rated based on its texture. Cows with abundant water sources typically have softer hides, rated 'A'. Hides from cows living in hot, dry climates are typically D-hide rated.1 point -

Yes Gore-Tex (or the other brand names) should say ‘Waterproof OR breathable’ and not ‘Waterproof AND breathable’. Yes they are waterproof and yes they are breathable but not both at the same time. They only breath when the pores are not blocked on the other side by the larger water molecules.1 point

Yes & no, fets, sound generators, tracers, smoke generators, various options for recoil, hpa, wanker guns, the list is seemingly endless. Or, you could run a bog standard aeg with technology more than 25 years old, & still dominate the battlefield. Works for me 😁 (sometimes lol😏)1 point
