Thanks, ChatGPT.

Yarp. Closer and closer to my "Ban us all" solution, I see. <excellent.gif>

As my old Tibetan Zen Sniper master said: “You have to think like a bush to become a bush!” 😀

Time for some glitter retribution?

It do be true though.

People who still buy Ares deserve the horrible experience they get. Change my mind

Doesn't that scratch your screen?

Well that solves the mystery of who's been stealing from my washing line

Don't let people put you down. They told Beethoven that he'd never be a composer due to being deaf. Did he listen?

So early January 2024 we’ll finally see the ASG CZ p-10c Co2 version in stores across the UK. i’ve got my grubby little hands on one so anything you want to know. Ask away. key points so far: -2 versions, “vanilla” & “tactical” -Alloy slide -Polymer lower - hop up adjustable without removing the slide whilst the slide is racked -Safety trigger with a mechanical safety under the front of the lower - “tactical” comes Optic ready but includes rear irons in the box aswell. 14mm ccw thread - ambi mag release, optic plate & threaded outer all available separately - 3+ magazines from a single co2 bulb at approx 10c

Just realised , my pose here is the same as the “Cool as F” reaction emoji 😇

TBH, I'm not sure.

Oh, ahoy and welcome and all that. You've very nearly got a good slap-fight going here about hop unit springs, that's a good start.

Thanks, interesting reply. I am going to play around with the variations of the two and see which one I like more

Strip it to the last two parts (tube & end cap) Dump it in a bowl of scalding water Then, long nose pliers in the grooves on the end cap whilst holding the tube with a towel Thats how I got my old one apart

Like a painful lucky dip....

I use them in my LMG for the "lots to the everywhere" approach!

6 fucking years old Must be a record

This is something I've never heard claimed before. I'm not saying that it's wrong, but If there's more than a tiny fraction of a mm of movement then that's begging for feeding or air-seal issues as you change the nozzle-to-bucking distance. Also, plenty of us replace the stock spring in an M4 with o-rings specifically to squish everything together more tightly. My Specna EDGE is quite fussy, and its mags have different dimensions to most of my other random collection of M4/M16/STANAG mags. In particular, the distance from the front to the feed tube is a full 1mm larger than (e.g.) my short VN style mags. Having measured it, I knew that I needed to shim the front of the VN mags with the loop (fabric) side of some self-adhesive velcro tape, which has helped the feeding. But wait, there's more. Even the BB-stopper inside the magazine feed is different. The VN mag stopper goes further into the feed than the Specna one does, and there's a distinct flat section that protrudes into the feed, thusly. This can lead to the mag not wanting to insert at all as the hop unit feed tube hangs up on top of the magazine stopper, and needs a good wiggle to get it to actually insert. To ameliorate that, I very carefully filed and sanded the rear of the hop unit feed tube to angle it more. This helps it to slide into the magazine and push the stopper out of the way. The tl;dr version is: don't guess, observe and measure. Calipers and a magnifying glass or jeweller's loupe are better than speculation.

This fella said to me today: “Are those thick lens glasses you're wearing?” I said: “No, they're mine"

And of course 350fps with a .20 BB will break your rif or your fingers if fired from an HPA set-up. There's a full account on here if you care to look. 😉

Welcome back ✋ Yeah I think many here would say the M908B is a good starter. You can also consider CYMA and Specna. (Many threads talking about this subject) There's LOADS of choice for chest rigs and pouches. Look at ebay and army surplus to get the cheapest stuff. It can take a few tries to get something you like as needs change. Check out here for sites near you: https://playairsoft.uk/map

I say "bring back the bush"....... Are we still talking about Airsoft ? 😏

Must have trained under Grasshopper coz a bush was deffo a 1970's thing.

It’s the way forward…. It’ll save my marriage and my bank account 😂

Well, the wee helmet still hasn’t replied to me Tempted to send him a couple of breeze blocks now if he does 😂

He is only asking for descriptions and photos, I may well take him up on it.

At least some of them must be real people

One of the bots I reported bafore had managed to list an AK47 under guns owned so not sure where that puts a joining question? Unless we go with the classic what am bestest gnu?

@Rogerborg I got a Specna Edge as well and after tinkering a bit I discovered a few things: The inner barrel assembly is free floating inside the outer barrel and can move freely horizontally in the axial direction. The hop unit is spring loaded on the outer barrel, which pushes it against the gearbox. But when everything is assembled, there is a whole 2 mm of clearance for forward movement, obviously by design for self-locating into magazines. The hop unit feeding tube is chamfered for this purpose (or made more chamfered to improve magazine locating, as you have done). The inner barrel has surprising amount of wobble inside the outer barrel because it is just free floating inside. All these wobble up and down and side to side, and tilting in any direction, is detrimental for self-location into magazines because when the magazine comes in, there is too much room for error and the hop unit can be outside the correct zone for self-location. The inner barrel can be shimmed or "stablised" for better accuracy, but this needs to be allowed to move horizontally without friction for the self-location to work. Similarly the outer barrel can be shimmed on the inside diameter of the upper receiver hole (as opposed to using barrel nut shims to try to hold the barrel in place by sheer friction), to centralise the axis. Besides accuracy, this has added benefit to tightening the guiding slots for the hop unit so there is less chance for the hop unit to rotate axially which again throws off the location of the feeding tube into the magazine. You can test the forward movement of the hop unit by pushing it forward with fingers through the magwell.

I've got no idea how these bots work or how AI tools could improve them but I've noticed that many of these spam users even set their avatars. I doubt a simple question is going to stop them when any question simple enough for newbs can be easily searched. Would be interesting to see

In Airsoft we have to accept that MOSFET means ETU however complicated or not that ETU might be. I assume anyone saying MOSFET in relation to Airsoft is referring to some circuit doing the switching instead of the switch contacts. I don't like it because for me a MOSFET is a transistor, the T standing for transistor, just another packaged 'chip'. Even the simplest ETU is more than just a transistor tho, I think the MOSFET, 2 resistors and a diode being the simplest.

If you use a weaker spring it's likely that the piston won't whack the cylinder as hard making less sound giving you the impression it's less powerful than the brass barrel. Your brass barrel may not have been 6.03 even if it says it is. It sounds like all is working as you'd like so now's the time to play.

We just need to see one example post to know what they're up to these days. It's all the same shite. I'm banning several a week too. I'm generally reviewing the latest posts from whatever time I wake up to around 8am (I'd be doing that even without the spammers, as I'm the lab rat that keeps pushing the button in the hope of a reward)

@ symbol + our username. Should auto-populate a list to select the user.

Well that was certainly more subtle than John Lydon singing pretty vacant

Oh yes they did

Cops were called to a house because the wife of the house said she killed her husband. The cops asked the lady why she murdered her husband. She said, “I just finished mopping the floor and he walked on it!" The cops called the Sergeant at the nick and told him what had happend and he asked if they had arrested her? “No Sergeant,not yet,the floors still wet”

Because all airsoft youtubers are total wankpuffins who should have been strangled at birth .

nice looking guns As for tinkering I love trying it, it's great when you put it all together and it just works Built a DMR from a Cyma VSS and it now sends .43s straight and true for a long distance

My main load out is 8fields Partizan/SS-Leto camo chest rig, Partizan/SS-Leto camo top and trousers, AAC T10-S quickly painted with Halfords spray cans, G&G RK74-E recently sprayed up in Partizan/SS-Leto camo (not a great colour match but hey ho I tried), pimped S&T PPSH-41 (had to rebuild the whole gearbox after it broke after 100 shots..) and an SRU PDW kit for a WE G18c. Recently got the AAP-01 assassin but not used yet. (Edit- SS-Leto added)
