I hear Kicking Mustang beat the record. Guiness disputes it but his scope cam clearly shows the hit. 😄

This is my planned loadout for Sunday. Nice and simple, Arktis chest rig with my magazines, Safariland for the Glock. Will be the first run out of my NGRS Mk18 too! Only things I might add are some belt mounted pistol pouches and an LBX sling if it arrives in time.

This isn't new news I'm afraid - it was publicised in March this year but I thought I'd post in case it's of interest. 81m is the guinness world record for a sub 1 joule airsoft rifle using less than 0.32g bbs. The video is a reproduction rather than the actual record being broken and it's in itallian. From what I can tell using google translate he used the following setup to do this: g&g sbr tr16 mk1 zero-shock piston (green) double lapping stainless steel cylinder 275mm "diamond" barrel blue hop rubber "without internal groove and without internal hump" he mentions Omega but it's not clear if this is an omega nub or not he also mentions the word "flat" but it's not clear to me if this is a flat hop or just a description of the hop rubber. a bag of g&g bbs I think Looks like you can buy most of this stuff at this guy's shop which is lucky... They don't go into how many shots it took him to do this and I wonder what kind of a tail wind the record breaking bb had when it hit the target. Good on him though. It sets the bar at least.

As someone who tried to get them to come and certify a world record I can confirm this is not the case, they generally tell you that yours is too silly (really?! Have you seen some of the stuff they certify?) and then threaten legal action if you call it a "world record" with out them verifying it (even if you never mention the G word) Last email to them was pretty much summed up as "Go away in small, jerky movements'

A few more pics of my 417 Drum adapter. It is designed for the A&K SR-25 drums as they are plentiful this side of the pond, dont break the bank, are sized for 308 (the main reason I chose a SR-25 drum over something smaller like the Angel Custom drums, which are sized for 5.56), and have some nice features including a sound-based auto-wind, button-wind, and switch-wind. As it seems all my drum adapter designs end up being, it is split into 4 parts for printing - left and right inner halves, an outer shell, and the base. Inner Right showing the internal passageways for loading BBs, the feed tube, and the sound sensor slot and wiring tube: Right and left inner halves put together: The outer shell: The base - printed inverse to this, of course: The four parts assembled (Isometric): The four parts assembled (top): The four parts assembled (back): The cut-away internal shot of all four parts assembled:

Ahoy and welcome. Those are reasonable enough choices, there's no need to spend more than CYMA M4 money on a first AEG to see if you stick with the hobby. They also upgrade well too, mine has evolved into a surprisingly snappy and consistent little thing. Is there much to research about airsoft? Turn up, spray and pray, then complain that you would have made 20,000 kills if they hadn't all cheated.

Get it right, your PC wasnt 'hacked' you clicked on something you shouldn't have. 😜

So I ran the Southampton Marathon on Sunday. Took me 4 hours and 25 minutes which I'm really pleased with considering summer decided to turn up and it was 25 degrees. Legs have just about stopped aching now. Was it a good experience? yes Am I doing another? hell no

Turned up on site at the usual time ready to Marshal for the day Unusually low numbers meant that the opportunity to player marshal arose Some of the usual protagonists were absent, which meant a good day with little to no issues. Managed to get a whole day playing with my new (to me) TM Ak74u . As I wasn’t expecting to play I took no pouches , or any usual playing gear. Had an awesome day Then after packing up time I got paid too!! Beat that 😂👍

y'know now you've made me think about it i'm not sure that's such a simple question to answer, at least in the intermediate case you're describing where either config is valid (ie you're not driving it fast enough where short stroking is necessary to avoid pme and there's enough volume overhead for that not to be an issue). there's arguments to be made both directions. normally for me at least the stroke tends to be dictated by the barrel length (dictated by however long the gun is) and volume requirements, but then i tend to lean towards higher ratio gears and torquey motors with a boatload of precocking for snappy semiauto and not really giving a stuff about rate of fire unless it's stupidly low (ie i'm happy with 15-20 rps).

Looks hot - as in sweaty 😄 Many people realise that lighter is better. Especially with this kind of weather 🥵

Is that all? People are always talking about shooting further than that and the opposition not taking the hit in the safe zone..... oh wait!...

Welcome, Sounds like you're all off to a good start 👍 Yikes, its going to get expensive 😄 The 'accidental' shooting by your wife is unfortunate. Make sure you instil the safety aspects of gun usage; no finger on trigger until ready to fire and ALWAYS wear eye-pro. You should be happy with a CYMA AK. (You'll inevitably consider tinkering to get more range 😉) Do lots of reading in the forum as most questions have answers in here somewhere 😁

Guinness confirmed, but won’t list my measurements as they deem that world record to be ‘inappropriate’ Many records these days are about trying to find something that hasn’t been listed before, so if you have some reasonable criteria than you have an instant record - and when you’re beat at least you were first. The other is about hype and advertising. The ‘longest’ paintball shot has existed in a few ways, such as the worlds longest shot - but unofficial because it was just a side ‘competition’ at an event Then a few organisers do it as well and either try to refine it guaranteeing a new ‘longest’ shot or they just make a traders puff with claims and ignore anything else One might go to the bother of booking an official adjudicator to turn up and gain the official longest shot These go hand in hand with publicity stunt ‘advertising’ such as the guy who got all the Daily Mail headlines with a paintball tester job vacancy at £50000 per year ….. plus small print - zero hours contract hourly rate equivalent to £50000 per annum The job being a Marshall / gopher zero hours contract including a photo opportunity getting shot for the Daily Mail follow up story On another tack though…. 81.1 metres is nothing Everyone should be queuing up with their ninja springer snipers from Bbguns4less that can shoot a nats left testical at 500 miles

Oh what ever could I be working on now? In other news, my three latest projects - that being my AUG HBAR, L86, and QJB-95 are done. Look for them in the Gun Pictures Thread.

TM 1911

Best charger without spending silly money is probably one of these. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/skyrc-t100-battery-charger-444856

Got another 1911 Also some cheap wood grips. I was going to get the MEU but then I saw the night warrior version 😮

tbh it wasnt too bad - it was quite overcast most of the weekend until Sunday where it did get rather warm

I’ve gone full circle, simple kit —> all the kit —> simple kit! No messing about, just a rifle, magazines and some bangs! Cheap(ish) and cheerful!

Looks similar to a drum mag adapter I've seen a friend working on Am I right in thinking that looks like a hk417 mag?

QFT, the only real difference is which works best for you, and that you can stick to. The key point is that if you're not happy with your weight and physique, you have to try something different. You can't wish the lard away. So just work through the list, and don't get religious about it: I was running a fever the past few days, and fed the "energy, naow!" cravings with beans on multigrain toast, and wholemeal pitta-bread pizza. Mmm, forbidden carbs. I'd hope that we can all agree that refined sugars are about as necessary and healthy as crack, and should be the first thing dropped.

Morning y'all, been lurking on here a bit and reading up on plenty of articles so though that I should register and say "Hi" so that I can bombard y'all with questions etc. and bore the arse of you! I'm totally new to the sport and have only played 2x games so far and hopefully have my 3rd booked for this Saturday so i'm on my way to getting my UKARA defence so that I can look at purchasing my first RIF. I took my eldest 2x sons (14 and 15) to Battle Stations Activity Centre in Snetterton as it's near to where we live (Norwich) and we had a great time, hence it slowly consuming all my time on various sites researching everything from camo, loadouts, guns to BBs and attachments! We were all raving about it so much that the wife decided to join us for our second visit there and she too now has the bug, so I can see this getting expensive as we've already started to purchase some gear. I would say that 'the family that shoots together, stays together' but thats not true as my wife 'accidentally' shot our 14 year old in the dick and now he's now not sure if he wants to continue playing!! I have suggested that he carries on but with additional protection but he's still not 100% sure... I have a number of hobbies and always tend to do my own thing within various groups and this sport seems to be the same for me. I wanted some camo gear, but I wanted something different from what i've seen at games and in various facebook groups so i've gone for some Swedish M90 Splinter camo and I purchased a fast style helmet along with some good quality goggles that attach to it. I have the crap combo of wearing glasses and sport a beard, so eye/face protection has taken some consideration. I tend to sweat loads when running around, so want to use a minimal loadout so i'm also thinking of a minimal chest rig, something like a Trojan to hold some extra mags, battery, basic tool kit etc. RIFs - Part of me not wanting to follow the crowd and my love of old classic cars and all things mechanical means that i'm heavily leaning towards the AK platform, with the CYMA being a good contender at the moment due to bang for buck that i've read it offers. I've probably already bored the arse of y'all so erm yeah.... "Hi" and maybe see some of you at site in the future?

must say i'm inclined to agree. i'd even put money on it, just not as much money as Guinness charges, which is kinda the point with records like this.

Would be interesting to see a test comparing 'plastic' and 'metal' bodies. I would guess the plastic to be a bit more resilient because it has more flex and the weapon would be lighter so less inertia on impact. I still prefer metal though 😏

am i the only one thinking that's heavy looking paper for a sub 1j bb to be penetrating at that range..... edit: some of the excel equivalent of back of a fag packet calculations suggest for a 0.48g bb we're talking ~0.07j of energy at 81m (assuming still air of ρ=1.225kg/m³ and constant drag coefficient of 0.45 for laminar flow (which iirc i remember checking and apparently it is for our energy levels))

I did keto for a total of about 10 months over the last year and a half, but it's super not for me. One of the side effects I got was heart palpitations if I was ever dehydrated, and I can tell you that waking up in the middle of the night feeling like you're dying is really not a fun experience. I still don't have much sugar, because I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I eat just a normal calorie restrictive diet, but not too restrictive since I'm also trying to put on some muscle. For me, being a total foodie,. one of the reasons I do so much exercise is because I also like eating lots

It's the little things that count - Waldo Custom Hush valves o-rings for my mws and glock mags. Goodbye to gas jizzing everywhere

I've done some more buying recently! I bought the AA handguard from @Lexypic and a nice shiney under grip from Amazon. Oh and a printed scope protector from Stay Fresh Shoe / Project Airsoft. So I now have this: My mate has printed me a charging handle but it's in a white / marble effect. So I'll fit that to get me by until I can get a red one.... Which leads me onto my next topic! AirsoftEire do actually have the red charging handle AND the AA 200mm barrel that I want to fit in it. The postage and import fees are about £20. I'm tempted to deploy the rule of "F#@k it" and just order from them. I wanted to run the 200mm so I can reduce the PSI that I use on my HPA tapped drum mag. But, does anyone think it might up the FPS too much and make it unusable with a green gas filled mag? It's whopping out 310FPS on 0.2's at the moment. Hop is set for 0.25's to just about make it across the longest part of my local CQB site, which is 40m maybe?

This is like a reenactment of the world's longest dick measuring contest, with the usual spats over top-or-bottom, shaft-vs-balls. Incidentally, none of these rules/guidelines appear to be listed on the Guinness site. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/96291-longest-airsoft-target-shot

Welcome Shadowfox. As CRTHayes said, CYMA is a good make (No experience with the Platinum). Others to look at are JG, G&G and SpecnaArms. Its really up to you to choose a rifle style you like. Obviously the M4/AR15 is the post popular to add accessories but there are many others available too. Look around the online shops to see what grabs your interest... (Unfortunately stock is very low in general at the moment) £300 is plenty to get a decent first RIF but don't forget to set aside an amount for other essentials: - Eye protection. THE most important part. Not only to get good protection but reduce fogging as much as possible. - Boots with good ankle support. - Webbing or some load carrying setup to carry ammo etc. - Magazines. You'll need a few depending if you go for high or mid capacity. - Batteries. A couple of LiPo batteries to last the day. - and a good charger to keep the batteries healthy and not burn down the house. There are many posts regarding all these elements so best do a lot of searching and reading 😉

I'm liking it already even with a picture taken with the lens cap on! 🙂

The B6AC is very good (I have one too) but becoming hard to find. Have a look at one of their latest models around the same price range: SkyRC S60

Baggsy I'm private Godfrey, we move at about the same speed lol.

not as many as proctologists....

Get another Imax B6AC, and then the mini hooked up to a motorbike battery if you need to charge at a site 👍 (I've both, and someone at two sites I go to has a big Stanley Fatmax toolbox which he keeps his motorbike battery and charger in and has also an inverter in it with a standard three pin power outlet - Edit: To clarify it's all mounted in the toolbox, it's really well done, and the three pin outlet is on the outside)

Isdt and skyrc are the chargers I use. They have a mix of models to suit budget and desired spec/setup. Ive used them for many years on airsoft, rc crawlers and fpv quads and they have never missed a beat.

Couple of pics of myself from the Stirling game this weekend at Catterick

If it's cycling ignore it Airsoft construction in not exactly precision engineering.

So for those that dont know im an armoursmith/ blacksmith and ive decided to take on a gun project using these skills. Specifically the ultimax 100 mk 5 because I love the ultimax but Id also like to be able to use my regular m4 mags and that version has a magwell. Made a mockup so far. A v3 gearbox sits about perfect in this but on the real one the upper and lower recievers are welded together. If I did this Id never be able to get the gearbox out. Im probably gonna try to make it in a way that means the rear end cap can come off and the recievers can come apart. One of the main reasons I chose this gun is because its basically just 90 degree boxes for most of the reciever. Ill probably just be brazing on other pieces of metal for all those details on the side of it. Evetything else will be hammered out of 2-3mm steel. I will probably also be getting a friend to 3d print some of the brackets and internal parts for the barrel and hop. Should be a fun project.

Trio of Tanaka saa's

The question I'd ask is, can you take a compressor to and run it at site? Probably not. A 48Ci steely like most of us buy needs to be topped up several times throughout the day. You would be far better off spending the same money on a decent air rifle type cylinder and then paying £5 every 3-4 games to get it filled by someone with a multi thousand pounds compressor than trying to jerry rig a noisy and dangerous unit at site.

You mean expensive guns don’t make me good at Airsoft ☹️

#ready

New arrivals. G&G sr15 e3 mod2 knights armament and Novritsch SSG10 A3. The PEQ's 3m velcro adhesive sticker won't adhere on the rubber switch so I'm looking for ways to attach it to the top rail. Just incase the stock barrel and hop aren't up to the job (SR15) I've ordered a barrel and bucking from @ak2m4@ak2m4.

Purchased a lovely E&L. Don't plan on doing anything to it modifications wise, perfect just as it is 🍑

My latest acquisition - GHK G5 can see me chapping on @Alimcd door for one of those drum mags 😎

🤣that's brilliant 👍 (Having seen the film a few times I can literally "hear" the characters laughing at the crap we discuss 🤣)
