  1. I do actually get the pragmatic argument about most AEGs vs most bolties, but the problem that you're trying to catch is edge-case exceptions. As always, I'd argue that the only thing that actually tests what energy guns are producing in game is chronoing them in game, with the weight that they're using. If you don't test reality, then you're just dabbling in various flavours of fantasy and hypotheticals.

  3. If that's how they react then fuck them off and find another site, preferably one who they know what they're doing and don't throw a tantrum when questioned

    I did a small order and found these https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/viper-tactical-express-utility-pouch-large-22852-p.asp are just a bit too small for the box mag, but with a squeeze can hold 4 stick mags in the internal pocket. If i got my 3d printer working, you could probably print something to keep them more rigid and upright. These pouches https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/mil-tec-molle-belt-pouch-large-utility-23514-p.asp fit a box mag very snug. Might need a bit of breaking in. But they too also hold the stick mags

  6. Is that the flaw where you must always load a magazine into the pistol with the slide locked back, to prevent the nozzle getting bumped and damaged? If that's the only thing wrong with it, I might still get one (some day)

  9. Pretty much, gbbr's/hpa's can just keep sending gas until the bb leaves the barrel (when setup to do so/with an adequately long barrel), longer the bb takes to leave the more gas is sent the more energy is added. Aeg's have a fixed starting energy, so if the bb takes longer to leave the barrel it doesn't have any more energy to gain, as the spring just pushes the bb out as fast as it can. The spring bolties are a bit more confusing, but essentially by having a heavy piston slowing the rate of energy being made available to the bb, meaning that a lighter bb can escape the barrel before all the spring energy is released. Theoretically aeg's would joule creep too, but the amount is sufficiently little to be insignificant compared to other variations.

  10. Mint, when he says "AEG" he means stuff firing in full auto in this context. My GDR15, GBBR and HPA systems with 400mm barrels all Chrono over 1.3J if I set them up to read 350FPS with a 0.2g BB and then change to a .4g BB. I am not 100% sure on the physics but I guess the projectile stays in the barrel longer and the fact you have more propellant behind the projectile that can expand VS a cylinder in a traditional AEG might be the case. Thanks for the reply. From the photos it gets around 15-20 players. Was looking for the nostalgia of playing at Ambush Adventures Chobham from the early 2000s but I guess it was not to be

  12. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/57A Law is pretty clear. It is not 374fps at 0.2g, it is explicitly 1.3Joules. However, it seems they may be correct that an AEG shooting 350FPS at 0.2g (1.14J) is unlikely to experience Joule creep that would increase up to above 1.3J. Though a DMR or Sniper may be likely. The only data I've found on joule creep in airsoft is this reddit post from 10 years ago https://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/29wi1s/joule_creep_testing_results_various_guns_and_bbs/ The data they found is as follows: The mid-range AEGs and pistols tended to have very little joule creep from 0.20g+ (or even negative sometimes), however the DMR (SR-25) and sniper (VSR) did show significant joule creep. The DMR increases in energy ~34% from 0.20g to 0.40g. If we were to assume that this DMR were at your site and were shooting at the site limit of 450fps at 0.20g, (1.87J), when loaded with 0.40g bbs, it would be shooting at or just above the legal limit of 2.5J. When you consider that it is also firing in semi-auto, that is not safe or fun. The sniper's increase is also a concern but your site already appears to have addressed that. Generally, it seems that the rules that this site has for AEGs should be fine, as is the rule on snipers. However, the DMRs should certainly be chrono'd in Joules on the BB that will be used, the same as snipers are at thissite. It would be nice to have some more up to date data on this with more varied guns and more information such as piston volume.

  13. Super rare vintage. Three words that are guaranteed to mean someone found it in a loft and where it should have stayed
