I don't think there's any saving this one.

Sounds to me like the site owner either doesn't understand joule creep isn't a constant which affects all guns in the same way or is just too lazy to chrono properly. Yes it may take a little longer to get everyone sorted when chronoing with whatever ammo is used in game, but many other sites do it without a problem so it's obviously not impossible.

It's a much better idea to be arguing that the site test a pew as it's intended to be used i.e on the ammo going through it in-game. After that the unit you use becomes less relevant, although joules is easier to apply because the limit is the same whatever the BB weight and therefore less numbers / conversion charts are required thus making chrono clearer and easier for all concerned. IF they're doing random in-game chrono's then joules must make that easier too? I'd go with an argument that shows the site that there is a benefit for them to make the change, they want people talking about a great game day rather than moaning about hot guns and having to buy some 0.2's just for chrono.

Received the package yesterday, all arrived okay. No import fees either and sailed through customs which was lovely! Definitely recommend 18Airsoft

I'm sorry but I don't quite get the context. Do they chrono test on 0.2g only and not on the weight the player is using? If that's the context, I agree with Hudson's suggestion that doing tests with different weights to illustrate joule creep would be a good idea. I would have thought liability insurance policies would be strict about energy limits.

The end result, quite chuffed with it tbh. I'm sure my old SM would have a fit if I left any weapon like this tho.

I'll have a look at mine later, from the outside there seems to be an extra little tag that sticks out the top of the ejection port that flips the cover open.

Ha I guess there's at least two of us that like it. I just want a decent ootb bullpup

It's happening with it assembled and unassembled. The little flag piece isn't reaching the button to drop the dust cover as you pull the charging handle back either way, which is really odd. It's the first time I've seen an upper receiver with a sphere shaped cut out rather than being straight and smooth. I'll upload some pictures tomorrow of it to help explain, just was hoping somebody may have had an idea as to why or been in the same situation!

The Specnas use a better hop unit than the A&K, uses a proper nub in the correct orientation rather than the verticle one in the A&K

Made the trip down to Dirty Dog at the weekend for their second all-day game event, Operation Sireeen (with 3 e's!), a re-run of last year's Operation Overkill. (Edit: We've now got a video of the day's action!) Mostly the same format, unfortunately started at the same spawn as last year because we were on Black last year and Camo this year, and they'd swapped the Camo spawn from last year, so us swapping teams resulted in the same spawn! We had a good idea of what the start was like as a result, though, and this time the opposition were the Red team. The day started well, with our squad (Royal Huntsman, callsigned to Golf for the event) able to quickly rush up the side road from Camo spawn and claim a toehold on the high ground: Red technically beat us there but were unprepared for our attack and so were pushed back off the edge of the hill, allowing us to hold a favourable position and allow follow-on Camo groups to beef up the numbers and spread out over the high ground. A fierce battle for the central fort of the high ground ("French Fort") ensued with us eventually squeezing Red out by cutting their ability to funnel reinforcements into the structure, which is where the lines largely sat until close to lunch time, where a ferocious Red counter-attack rolled Camo off the high ground entirely. We'd retired off the line to replenish ammunition and couldn't arrive back on time to help preserve our access to the hilltop, and so withdrew to our spawn fort as a major Red push downhill was closing in on it, but lunch was called there and then so the setback wasn't fatal. Red were within shooting distance of our spawn fort at the point of lunch though, an impressive advance! After lunch everyone reset to their spawns and, this time, Red made a much more serious effort to rush the high ground. The access road we'd successfully gained last time was the site of some intense fighting but, with Red beating us there again and this time being prepared for an early fight, they couldn't be dislodged. What followed was a couple of hours of Red dominating the field: with the high ground secure they handily repulsed every Camo attempt to gain ground for those hours. Multiple times we were able to fight up to the lip of the hill but couldn't then flesh out a foothold, inevitably being pushed back downhill again. Eventually a tactical error was made somewhere on their part and a Camo team force rushed French Fort and hunkered down, interdicting Red lines of communication and allowing multiple other ongoing Camo assault attempts to start to consolidate footholds throughout the hilltops. This resulted in a complete flip of circumstances, with Red facing an uphill battle against entrenched Camo forces using the high ground to their advantage. At our furthest advance we were menacing the outskirts of Red's spawn town, yet another flip from the morning when it was Red's BBs peppering the walls of our HQ. The day ended with Red making a final push to retake the high ground, succeeding in establishing a fairly solid position at the base of the hill but being repulsed in their effort to push up the road to French Fort. Camo took the day with the most points. Improvements-wise from last year they handed out the HQ comms frequency to individual squad leads rather than having Marshals just trying to shout out updates, which made it far easier (at least for us, a fairly cohesive team with our own team comms as well) to understand what the current active objective was and to get updates on major movements. For improvements to make for next year I think Camo spawn (which was Black spawn last year) is clearly the inferior one, with Red spawn (which was Camo spawn last year) being closer to the central high ground area and having a proper road running from their spawn right to the central French Fort. As much as Camo won this year we won because in the morning they didn't expect us at the back road as quickly as we got there and in the afternoon they left a gap in their lines and lost the central high ground fort to a mad rush. As this event matures (if they keep running it every year) the regulars are going to learn from these things and soon the team that gets the Village spawn (Red's this year) will dominate with ease. A possible solution is that they stop the game for lunch and reset at that point anyway, maybe swap sides? Overall though a great game day, glad we went back for Sireeen, and I expect we'll be back for whatever 2025's game gets called!

Probably best to do some actual testing to show what results you can get. Strangely they seem to accept joule creep effects for sniper rifles, hence menasuring on the BB weight used, but not on any of the others. Does the site allow HPA? If so, that might be the easiest way to test and demonstrate it. I know one of my local sites insists on sticking with the "chrono on a 0.2", and I could very easily abuse this for joule creep in my bolt actions if need be, but I understand it enough to account for that. I'm certain that there are plenty of players running around with theirs firing 499.9fps on a 0.2, but creeping massively once they get in game. Whether you'll be able to get them to change their mind is another thing, however.

You'll get feeding issues at the rate of fire. not sure if even the upgrade kits for the box mags will keep up.

Have a look at Pew Tactical on AliExpress. They do clones of Haley Strategic, Ferro Concepts, Spiritus Systems and Crye. I have a couple of bits from them and it's decent for the price.

I totally agree. There are some small spring pre-loaders which do make it snappier still and worth a fiver on Ebay.

FYI just got an Email from https://www.proactstore.com/ (Action Airsoft) UAD triggers and most importantly hop units are in stock (or shipping pre-orders at least)

Really good day at DogTag - only did the morning as I had to pick up the other half this afternoon but the morning games were fun. We (blue) started attacking, having to clear out the trenches, then the CQB area, then the rifle range and finally the FOB. Attackers had to push through, plant a flag in one area then raise the corresponding flag in the next area. Attackers respawn, defenders one life and fall back. Pretty standard stuff really. What made it really excellent, was that on each team there were people with mortars, so the opening game started with two mini artillery barrages. Same for when we switched sides after the break. I had a couple of really nice plays while defending, including one great spot where I could shoot onto the back of a doorway from about 20m away. I got about five or six players who ran in, with a few complaining of friendly fire. In the end, it was bad luck that knocked me out with a badly thrown grenade (aimed for a bunker miles away) landing near me. Used my WA M4 and it ran like a dream - shot lovely and straight all morning with real shot to shot consistency, which is pretty key when you've only got 30rds a mag. Credit also to the marshalls for testing a 'DMR' a guy was chronoing only to discover it was capable of full auto. He told them it was a DMR and semi-locked. I didn't see the full outcome but as I left they were offering to throw him off the site.

So have just made myself a custom Pelican 1510 loadout to take with me as my MWS brakes down pretty easy and the gun box I bought was way too big for taking on a train. Wondering if anyone else would be interested in something like this can accomidate other boxes I just had a spare 1510 laying around un used.

Go visit Crawley Surplus Store for a good mooch around , ask for Jim

Buy a drone & fly it really, really close to the airport... your life will get exciting very quickly.

Just a message to say that I will be stepping down from the forum. On the 13th I lost my wife and best friend. Thank you all for listening to my silly comments and crap jokes over the years. Life seems to have lost its humour for me. Fire off a few for me and remember, call your hits 👍 Regards Nigel
