    Hello! Lurking here a while but thought i'd sign up and say hello. First of all, thank you for posters of all the topics that I've poured over in regards to equipment, site reviews and in-depth knowhow of airsoft, it was very useful reading. So i'm living in Gloucester, on the same road as the StrikeForce CQB site which is fortunate for me. I was going to re-join a gym as I need to be a bit more active in my life but I enjoyed airsoft before and thought it would be a more rewarding form of exercise and looking forward to playing some weekly games soon as Christmas is out of the way. Used to play airsoft a few years ago in Bristol at the courthouse, very fun site and hoping to have the same CQB experience at the warehouse in Gloucester. Hit me up if you play at this site or any other close by, would like to get to get to know a few of the airsoft locals Cheers.

    Had a crack at painting, dirtying and distressing a gun. Not quite up to @GearTech standards (he shall remain the master 😅), but I'm happy with it! Sprayed in Halfords Khaki: Then abused with dark brown washes and attacked with various things: (Need to dust off the paint chippings/sanding)

  8. Auto say 3~5 sec burst takes a second or two to stabilise an "average" draw... it initially starts off at 80a from still, then lowers to say 5a on piston release (no load at all) then as it picks up piston, spring tension load increases to say 40a then releases 5a etc... after a few seconds the meter calculates an "average" draw rate as it cycles again again (about 11a - maybe a little less as a m95/100 with good compression on 455mm barrel = 350fps in other words, if good seals, on a 455mm AK the spring will be a m95 say so less like 10a) It is hard to accurately quantify the draw as a high speed motor really ramps up the amp draw ferrite motors suffer stalling on higher springs than neodym etc... so "load" on motor varies shitloads depending on build - which is basically what you are checking (The amp draw on/from the motor itself) You can lightly tweak the motor height if it sounds a bit rough and together with the amp draw and your ears detecting the less shrilly whiney sound... you can fine tune the motor's height/position to best sound/amp draw etc... as said if worried do it on 7.4v than on 11.1v note the amps 8.4v x 10a = 84 Watts (7.4v LiPo fully charged) 12.6v x 10a = 126 Watts (11.1v fully charged) as each 3.7v can hold a max 4.2v amps stay same, but Wattage changes due to different voltage like I said Wattage is not what we are looking for, you are checking the Amps (but the mosfet might have a max Wattage in its spec, though you'll be fine) Just a few seconds on Auto - note the amps should be around 11a give or take 1a (personally think it should 10a or less, but old motor, carbon build up increases resistance & less efficiency etc...) a nicely tweaked gun should be 15a to 17a (using a 25k~30k neodym motor 13:1 etc...) BUT REALLY DEPENDS ON MOTOR/BUILD ITSELF The higher the amps, the quicker the battery drains and also usually more amps = more heat generated at motor so it is wise to try to keep amps low or lower if possible if gun was built correctly doubt if you got high amp draw above 15a like a tweaked gun but the amp draw will tell you a lot & what fuse to use (as said a 30a mini will be plenty unless draw is high or you have a short at motor cage)

  9. That is a good buy, especially for the shrouded version. Even though I've got one, when I clicked on the link & saw the pics I was reminded that......

  12. Blade automotive type fuses are quite common... There is the regular type which has aprox 4.3~4.5mm connectors & There is the mini/micro type fuse which has 2.8~3mm connectors like on motor (the highest the mini/micro rating is about 30amp max afaik the larger regular fuses go up much higher) stock guns usually come with 20a or 25a as standard and 30amp micro fuse "should" be OK for most moderately tweaked guns pic of regular blade fuse install with mosfet... Now if you use a mini fuse installed in a similar way it will take up less room... the purple "mini" fuse goes up to 30a max, not all places stock 30a mini but they exist up to 30a without needing to go to larger size fuses with larger connectors (basically just need to keep same 2.8mm motor connectors to hand for mini fuses) When you first pull the trigger from stationary - there is a MASSIVE SURGE of say 80 amps for a very brief (milliseconds) moment every time you fire say on semi or start of burst Then the current draw settles down a bit and you get an "average draw" of say 11a to 15a on auto Grab a test meter... something like these - say £7:50 - ish plug it in between gun & battery... fire on auto for say 3~5 secs (if worried - do it say 7.4v) read off the amperage on auto burst effectively DOUBLE that reading at least - so really a 30a fuse will suffice most instances You should check the current/amp/wattage draw on your gun - it tells you a lot... if in stock build you are much over say 12 amp your shimming/motor height is shit on a 350fps gun I said STOCK BUILD - with a lame 24~27tpa ferrite motor pulling a m100 spring on 18:1 etc... If you you use a HIGH SPEED motor then expect the amps to rise to 20a+ (yeah HS motors are not that great & this high amp/current draw will drain your battery quickly) School science crap - AMPS x VOLTS = WATTS, - it is all relevent but amps is a good thing to monitor The AMPS will generally stay the same - or there abouts on 7.4v or 11.1v, in same gun just the watts increase from higher volts being used (is same gun I mean) Wattage does matter to say the spec of the Mosfet & stuff but we generally focus on amps TL-DR crap buy a power meter thingy, test to see what your AMP DRAW is on auto if it is higher than 12a on a basic std build then that is a bit high imho this higher amp draw is what blows the fuses (rated in amps of course) so check to ensure your gun isn't badly assembled/shimmed & drawing more amps than is should if done correctly I'd say the CM.028a on say a m100 max spring, 27 tpa cyma motor etc... will draw 10a (I'd still just shove in a 30a mini micro fuse) Polyfuses require careful planning & anything a little more "electronic" from fleabay can be a gamble You buy cheap 3034 mosfets from fleabay & is quite likely they are snide mosfets and snide 3034 will not handle the whopping current draw, nor will they have same internal spike protection (basically a cheap 1404 type mosfet only capable of handling half the current & will go tits up with voltage spikes) You bought polyfuse, I'd bet nowhere near the so called advertised spec (like buying a mobile phone battery or power bank from ebay/China - will only have half the so called capacity) Your fuses might have been rated at XX amps or a load of XXX watts but in real tests I'd lay it is perhaps more near half of the advertised load capacity Naaaahhhhhh - just go with a mini auto blade fuse & be done with it though the AK stock you use the regular one, heck even buy a fuse holder (just if space is tight, create your own with 2.8mm connectors installed on its side so to speak)

    Afuk Meet up 3.0

    Right so, Saturday evening it is. Obviously. We can have ANY Saturday in Feb or March. So we now need to decide on a date. Which might be difficult as Feb and March got roughly the same amount of votes. If you could, regardless of your vote, please put in the SATURDAY(s) you're available in both Feb and March. The fairest way I can do this, is to pick the most suggested Saturday, sorry if that means you cannot come, but hopefully with this much notice you can? Also, please put in how many people including yourself that you intend to bring. Thanks @heroshark @Barny @Albiscuit @Asomodai @Steveocee @GAMBLE @Tackle @leadly @MiK @Shamal @Spartan09 @Jaylordofwaargh @L3wisD

  15. TBH you are adding a potential risk by running them. You are also adding to resistance by creating more connections, and again as such more points of failure. I mean look at the cross sectional area of your 16g cable VS the fuse legs! You have a lot of room with a full stock, a fuse is a SHTF failsafe, which should not need to be replaced regularly. Safeguarding against shorts or overloading. Semi auto can pull upto or over 30A, but not for long enough to bother a normal fuse. Full auto anywhere between 12-20A All based on a healthy setup. The best setup without nuisance tripping or induced heat or other factors is a conventional automotive or glass fuse. Just run a regular fuse holder, with whichever fuse rating that is stable on Semi spamming. Normally 30A. Simplicity always wins!

    Scam Warning!

    SCAM WARNING. I would like to warn you all of a scam of which I have been a victim. Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking voluptuous 20-25 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start cleaning your windscreen, their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to another supermarket store, in my case, Waitrose. You agree, and they both get into the back seat. On the way, they start undressing, until both are completely naked. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately, and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet! I had my wallet stolen on October 4th, 9th,10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th and 29th. Then again on November 1st, 4th, 6th, 10th,13th, 18th, 23rd, 25th, and twice yesterday. So, please warn all the other men you know to be on the lookout for this scam. The best times are just before lunch and about 4:30 in the afternoon. Morrisons have wallets on sale for £2.99 each, but Lidl's are only £1.75, and look better.

    @Robert JamesI will be unable to attend because I need to remain socially distanced. As much as this would be fun, just like xmas, it is too much risk to the welfare of others before vaccination.

    I’ll give you heresy... M4’s aren’t safe either! I don’t think I’ve posted this since picking up one of the Leupold D-Evo sights. The magnifier is a bit of a pig to zero, but it’s a really cool concept.
