No, not really, not after seeing that.......

Umm, you ok there cheif?

in a way it's nicer on hpa but there's not too many things you can do which will break parts or permanently fuck up the gun. the worst you'll have to deal with is something like a bad nozzle jam where you know it can be fixed on a bench (or at least tested before game day), otherwise it'll...

In terms of tinkering with the engine, there's swapping out to a low flow poppet (applicable for running lower energy limits), not difficult it's a 2 minute tool-less job on the f2. Then there's the fitting of the triggerboard can sometimes require creativitiy, there are "drop in" boards for...

If you're into trying to squeeze every drop you can then maybe it's worth it for you. The thing i'd advise is if you're the type to tinker and tune then you might want to think about the dual solenoid engines. They give you much more control over the process and let you really dial in to what...

A note on the silence: in a regular skirmish, it's at best only good for whoever you just tagged to dander back to spawn and come back to hunt you down. At worst the guy you just tagged makes it super obvious where it came from and you get immediate retribution from his buddies.

I'd say this is 99% right. As in a well dialled aeg can get to 99% of a well dialled hpa rig. Wether that 1% is worth the tank/reg/line faff is down to personal preference. That said, hpa isnt a magic bullet and a sub optimal build or engine can and will absolutely be outperformed by even a...

i suspect, as with many such things, it's rendition in video games, where you most importantly rarely get a decent profile of the gun and don't have to actually lug the thing around, is our primary culprit for this. it worked for me and my love for the tactical tuna aka the f2000 thanks to bad...

yes i may have taken the liberty of extending your meaning to include unrated eyepro to make a broader point, but that is indeed not what you were saying. my apologies for that insinuation.

I had a similar issue before i started using geoffs, the ammo i was using would jam up on the regular and it would take a few smacks to get it to feed again. Since the switch the same gun with the same mags basically never jammed again. I wasnt impressed with lct internals, pitting on the...

Everyone is welcome to draw the line of what they do or dont consider to be adequately safe where they want to. And yes your right that in many cases unrated eyepro is probably good enough. Given the gap between 166f and b means something could barely fail the b standard but still be more than...

You want more than en166f, b is better. Other standards like @Tommikka mentioned are better. From memory stanag 2920 is one of the standards that has airsoft energy levels as a rounding error (citation welcomed). Going with an established manufacturer is better, eg if someone like bolle is...

to expand on this point as it's important. even on a 1j limit field, EN166f is not enough, a close up hit can crack a lens (i've seen it happen), and that's assuming everyone is running kosher, and that is never a safe assumption. imo you should always be running eyepro that is not only...

Third the advice, biggest issue with fabric holsters like that is you lean on it the wrong way and pop goes the mag. Which i guarantee you wont notice at the time nor find afterwards. At least thats the case for button release mags, heel releases arent as vunerable, which is great for the 2...

this is a fair point, there's a definite subset of tinkering that falls into the "getting the gun good enough to even notice the difference is the hard part" category.
