Did some filming for a video promo for my killhouse Sexy SnapInsta.to_AQMKd1pS0u6GSZzzqHr74P0hxJi1_VqFDSYKzy--IgFj-n7zR9v-enMJhcYq302l786dQSoQVP1UmpYT3SMAtoZhko7qGanVK75pRAs.mp4

Had a fun couple of hours on the range at Bespoke Airsoft in High Wycombe this week to try and improve my response time to target and accuracy with the MP5 and Sig 226. The lane had electronic targets linked to an iPad with a number of games, spent most of my time playing hit as many targets as you can in 30 seconds and shoot the hostage taker not the hostage. Managed to get from 27 to 45 hits in 30 seconds with the MP5 and 14 to 30 with the Sig (with a mag change) big learning was ammo conservation, I will confess I am a bit of a spray and pray player but this taught me to make an accurate first shot count rather than sending 2 or 3 in case the first doesn’t hit. Two other lanes were occupied and we had a competition going between us for rescue the hostage, hostage target was green, hostage taker was red, hit as many reds as you can without hitting the green. Shop was well stocked (I only took 2000 BB’s so ran out) and reasonably priced. I Had a look at their walls of guns and they had some nice looking kit. I wasn’t there to buy a gun so didn’t look too closely in case temptation took over.

It wasn't relisted, I tidied up the thread as only one of the questions was actually constructive, & that information could be added to the post. Regarding gdpr, there are friendly retailers, who when asked nicely, will confirm if a ukara number is live, & if a name & postcode is supplied, that all three match, by doing so they haven't broken gdpr rules, so no need for a witch hunt or false accusations.

Thanks; I did wonder if it was a poor attempt at haiku. Applying for Chapter 11 does give them an opportunity to try to restructure the business and come out of it reasonably intact.

I know someone already pointed it out in his comments, but this was an easy one ?

Let me get some measurements off my VFC MP5 and i'll make you a pair of the ally pins.

Well it's not going to win any beauty contests, or shooting contests but it works reasonably well now. All it needed was... New Gearbox (complete) New motor New grip New ejection port cover(still doesn't bloody close tho) New receiver pin (tbf I found the catch for the original pin when I removed the old gear box) I forgot to add... a new hop unit too. Still want a gas tube for it (rarer than hens teeth apparently)

The Perun AB++ or something similar is probably the closest to that as it sits outside the gearbox, but you do have to open the gearbox to do some rewiring unless you are fitting it to a V3 gearbox.

To my knowledge the only programmable mosfets go inside the gearbox. You might be able to adjust the ROF low enough to 3 round burst with a perun of some kind however, I seem to recall them offering such a thing ?

£350-£450 depending on how quickly you want to sell it.

As long as the information is freely given with the consent of the supplier and can be proved, for the purpose of verification - if the retailer then only confirms that the details are correct or not without sharing any other information, it's A-OK. Doing it for this purpose is an "Informal Subject Access Request by Third Party". Anyone can call up a retailer and do this, it's quite often why my sales on RIF's take so long, if everything isn't hunky dory, it's not happening.

As its not entirely clear, is gen in reference to it being genuine? If that's the case and you can provide evidence of it, you could quite easily expect £500-600 - but it may take a while to sell it. If not, decent clones are still available for £120 new, so maybe £70-80.

This could be the case. About 5 years ago GI Sportz did the same thing (and not long after a GV vs Valken legal case) Filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US as one of the steps along the way to being bought up by an investment fund. Keep your eyes out for any mention of Fulcrum investment and / or an umbrella company Kore Outdoor https://koreoutdoor.com/brands

Valken filed for bankruptcy I think this was supposed to be, as per this that was posted on IG earlier Not particularly surprised, as the peddle cheap crap for both airsoft and paintball.

My NGRS MP5 sneaky slut. I love this gun, shoots so well and works so flawlessly. Waiting on a longer VFC claw mount rail to move the optics back a little. 3D printed tail cap to fit the ICS folding stock, Prometheus barrel with 4uantum bucking + nub, M100 spring. I think it's right around 1j on 0.28s, sufficient for me. Has a very "functional" pressure switch arrangement for the X400 clone, but i like it. The short rail section was machined to match the radius of the silencer, and a small screw is used to index it into the correct position.

It is an unusually ugly gun.

Yeah I honestly can't wait to use it. It's going to be so much fun haha that's a good idea of the pot of bbs at spawn point I might have to do that ?

Could I have some of the names of the shops pretty please

The ol' UKARA dodge. Although I'm not sure a 5-7 is really that high on the list of most people these days. And that's coming from a TM Fanboi

Connor, this isn't a gameshow, points don't make prizes, stop making work for us, read the rules ffs?

I’ve received a response to my wanted add, asked for photos as per forum rules, with name and date. Scammer has obliged but I’m not convinced by that lovely photoshopping on 2 different photos of 2 different rifles ? ?

Two of those mounts off Amazon, some ally bar and a bit of lathe work later..

One to add to the book of challenging wanks ?

Mine always seem to be a work in progress.

Flecktarn and DPM? ?

So, progress is being made. I bought a used DE M904E, which was in a worse state than I'd assumed, but it had its stock gears replaced with 13:1 SHS ones (short stroked by two teeth, I'd rather they had been as is) so there's one less thing to buy. I'd spent far more than I wanted to, but the inside of the gearbox was a bit of a shit show, and remaining parts will arrive soon for me to crack on and hopefully get it running ready for the Red Alert Battlesim Lite next weekend. My attempts with painting / rattle cans continues...

I have done it. Here in the land of cowboys and Indians, we have no rules, and no limits to our wankery Here’s Leo’s simple recipe for making the refs come over and stare whenever you test fire on the range… Traditional wisdom is that fast motors and fast gears are not friends. TRADITION LIED: Tienly makes the best brushed motors on the market, if not the cheapest, followed by Star Wei. Quality build and hand-wound armatures become increasingly important if you want your build to be functional in game without the motor grip turning into one of Gusteau’s Microwaveable Plasma Ultrabirritos. Oh yeah, and shredding your brushes while it’s at it. If built well, a 40K brushed motor can get you to 40RPS when paired with 13:1 gears and an 11.1v. Gears: any solid gear set will work for a while, as long as the bevel meshes well with your pinion of choice. To actually get high speed out of this thing without brute forcing it like some sort of wanker ape, we need to push up the efficiency numbers. To hit 40, you need 80% efficiency. 85% gets you to 43. And so on. SHS/rocket work alright. Siegetek are the best (but seemingly nonexistent in the UK). Solink have a good rep with folks that I trust, and are readily available, so I would go with those. Bearings. You can go bushings if you like with no issue, but real speed demons shell out for J-caged bearings, which can handle the increased stress of what we’re about to do to them. Be wary though, as many of these suckers are tall, and can interfere with selector activities. The “shortest” on the market are 2.5mm thick. Spring. To avoid PME, we need to punch that piston fast and forcefully. PDI makes the best, but Guarder comes in a close second. I would suggest buying at least equivalent of an M130 and M140. And to bleed off that extra spring power we… Shortstroke? No. Not before we have to. Short stroking damages both our tappet timing and our pressure spike, which I’ll discuss in a second, so we avoid it if we can. Instead we shorten our barrel. As any tech knows, all the spring strength in the world means nothing if it all blows out your o-rings and packing seal. This is the same for BB acceleration time. If there is no time to accelerate, it matters not what the ultimate velocity could have been. I would aim for 100-150mm and increase if you can. Cheap stock barrels from various manufacturers can be used to great effect in testing before any expensive parts are purchased. Did you know that most G&G ARP9s come with the equivalent of an M130 installed? Short barrel, fast cycle speed, strong spring. To make sure we can feed the frenzy we need a good stiff tappet and strong spring. This isn’t too complicated. Any stock or upgrade tappet that accomplishes the mechanical demand will do just fine. Guarder makes a good one. King arms does as well. Lube the rails and make sure it slides easily. O-ring drag is real. Double o-rings were invented to solve a design/manufacturing tolerance issue, not a design/airseal issue. Nothing wrong with it if it works for you… but Arcturus, Krytac, and I believe Guarder and Lonex make great single o-ring nozzles that may very well provide better fitment with your nozzle tube and less drag while you’re at it. Pick a strong, light piston with a POM head and ditch those bearings on the PH itself. They’re worthless. You need a total weight of about 15gs to be successful here. The easiest way is to use an SHS blue with the big holes and any decent POM head. Lonex, Gate, etc, etc. You can also remove material from any good quality one. Lonex Red FMRs and Arcturus poly pistons are prime for this. As long as the cylinder and cylinder head seal and don’t have any serious tolerance issues with your other parts, they’ll do just fine. You can easily polish stock brass cylinders to near mirrors of glassy perfection. But if you need to buy one… the Guarder Chromes are nice. As long as you have at least half the cylinder the porting doesn’t matter in the slightest for this. Don’t listen to Negative Airsoft, he does not understand the physics of ported cylinders; the port is not to let air into the cylinder, it’s to allow piston preacceleration. Which brings me back to why we don’t short stroke. When the piston accelerates before sealing with the cylinder, it creates a beautiful little pressure spike that effectively gives you a lot more oomph for less. Ask any HPA user if raising the pressure on their reg changes anything and you’ll understand. Less useful knowledge in this specific case, but great for general teching. Your shimming must be the shimming of Gilgamech and BBkidnu, the great shimmers of yore. We Americans look to George Shimmington. And to power this all, you need a good battery pack. Let’s face it, the vast majority of battery makers and sellers are liars. The packs aren’t IR matched, the capacity and discharge rating are blatant untruths, and the assembly quality is poor. Running your packs at above capacity KILLS YOUR PACKS. If you plug in a beefier battery and your gun gets faster, you’re doing this. You have two ways to combat this. #1 Overcompensate. Recognize the lies, and go so far above and beyond that even the lies place you easily in the green. Turnigy NanoTechs are good candidates. #2 Buy an actually good pack. Kypom are the best I know of. Gens Ace comes second. On the American Airsoft forums we happen to have a guy with a lot of mechanical engineering experience who can actually test cell IR ratings, true capacity, and discharge rates. He’s tested quite a few, and Kypom are consistently closest to advertised. Hopefully some of this is helpful to you! tech on -Leo

CRYE Gen 1s with the massive shit flap zip. Used to play a game of how many you could unzip with out being noticed in the briefing. :). Could go through 20k BBs running a STAR plastic M249 and only spend £20

And everyone was wearing either DPM,l⁰ US M81 woodland camo or flecktarn if you wanted something a little fancy

@BigAl Any particular reason this was relisted as a new listing cutting out the questions that were on the previous ad? Just wondered as you seem to have access to the ukara database without being a retailer, Or You are a retailer posting on a private sellers site ....

Probably would be a bit more desirable if the design wasn't so fatally flawed. Have had 3 in the past and they all failed in the exact same way. Replacement parts were unobtanium 10 years ago, let alone now.
