    It shouldn't have gone so far given how overwhelming the evidence was in his favour (but then, there was a lot of bullshit going around about it & still is even now). The memes were pretty good though: https://imgur.com/gallery/4386htf

    Piston head O-rings vs performance tests

    I did watch out for that while testing, but there was no notable difference in consistency between them. I don't think you're likely to lose any power/suffer consistency issues to such air loss unless the cylinder is undervolumed for the spring strength & barrel in use. Edit to add: All of...

    Piston head O-rings vs performance tests

    A lot of attention is paid towards various components when tuning performance in an AEG, but it seems piston head O-rings are often overlooked beyond merely testing that they seal against the cylinder. A typical piston head O-ring measures about 24mm outer diameter, like these ones...

    What Bio BBs should I be buying?

    Some brands do this & I'm not sure why, I don't like it because it's an easy way for crap to get in and mix with the BBs if they're not kept in a clean environment. According to the packaging G&G claims their bio BBs will take a few years to decompose if left lying on the ground at...

    Another RIF incident in the news... Its only a matter of time now

    If a criminal wants a fake gun that looks real enough to commit a crime with then they don't need anything that looks even close to what we use. They could easily make something that looks realistic enough (or even easier than that they could simply buy an airgun that's just as realistic-looking...

    Another RIF incident in the news... Its only a matter of time now

    Coming soon: the "Knives Bill", which introduces new restrictions for all knives and a licensing and registration requirement for all blades longer than 3", with a special "section 1" knife license required for knives with pointy ends... ? Nothing to stop criminals grabbing a can of spray...

    BB weight vs Range

    That would be me. Some bad BBs and the ones that looked ok didn't seem like anything special (the ones I looked at were the 0.25g version though while the ones tested in the video were 0.28g)...

    What Bio BBs should I be buying?

    It's quite possible that this could just be a bad batch, as I've only tested the one bag / single weight - and the tracer versions are fine. It's a shame as they do look pretty good otherwise. If anyone else gets any 6mm Ammo BBs I'd recommend spending some time checking them over before using...

    What Bio BBs should I be buying?

    I bought some 6mm Ammo BBs to test. Shipping was extremely quick; I placed my order late on Friday evening, received the shipping notice email on Saturday & they were delivered on Monday - this was with free delivery option too! These are the 0.30g version, in both the regular and tracer...

    What Bio BBs should I be buying?

    That's very interesting. I guess it's not that surprising that most BBs perform about the same, as from what I've seen with my testing they tend to have similar size ranges/variation & as they mentioned in the video many brands are probably made in the same factory anyway! It would also be...

    What Bio BBs should I be buying?

    More Geoffs bio BBs, this time in 0.30g. Only white + tracer versions this time. Geoffs 'Super Natural Precision' 0.30g Bio BBs Weight: All measured 0.30g Size range: 5.91 - 5.95mm; 0 measured within the 5.95 +/- 0.01mm tolerance. 1 was 5.91mm minimum, 7 were 5.92mm minimum, 12 were 5.93mm...

    What Bio BBs should I be buying?

    The regular white versions do seem to be pretty decent (in both 0.25g and 0.28g at least) and I've not had any issues shooting with them so far & intend to continue buying them. It's just the black and tracer versions that seem to be be a bit dodgy for whatever reason - perhaps the addition...

    What Have You Learned About Airsoft Recently?

    Most bio BBs don't swell up, or at least modern ones don't (although their "biodegradability" is questionable). In any case, don't use poor quality BBs, bio or not...

    What Bio BBs should I be buying?

    I bought some more Geoffs bio BBs, this time in 0.28g. These are 'Super Natural Precision' in white and black and 'Natural Precision' tracer BBs (they don't do tracer versions of the former - I'm not entirely sure what the difference is supposed to be between 'Super Natural Precision' and...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I used to use one of those vests with my P90... it's a bit of a squeeze, but the big pouches at the bottom of the vest are *just* big enough to fit two P90 mags each (although it may make the vest stick out a bit at the sides due to how long P90 mags are).
