Its a false equivalence to assume that wanting more power limits is the same as having the whole "just tell them to wear face pro" mentality. My motivation for wider limits is situational, whilst a field with wide open sightlines and longer average engagement distances i can see more power...

site design can help, but plenty of places aren't too up on building structures and the like. unfortunately the answer to why anyone would play there boils down to lack of options.

in this case, when i'm using "field" it's not referring to an airsoft site. field is referring to any area within an airsoft site that is wide open with no cover or concealment.

when the field is literally an open field, there ain't no thinking, sneaking or running around a guy who can hit you when you can't hit them. and there are fields where this is the case. i think we've both played enough to know that don't work out so good.

I'd wouldnt use those words. It provides an engineering challenge followed by a morality challenge. Ie how far can you make your gat shoot within the rules then are you prepared to break the rules to keep an edge. Tactically you just have "know how far you can shoot, know thats further than...

it would depend on the site. obviously we're not advocating for 5j cqb here, hell i'm very much in the anti-owchie camp. however there's plenty of places where there are sightlines that a ~1j class pew is not going to be reaching and you end up playing the open field tango. maybe my...

The intent is to encourage a bit more diversity. Give someone a bit of a range bonus for lugging around a g3 rather than an mp5. But you're right that it's not the most practical thing, it makes a lot of assumptions about a sites ability to enforce different limits when the reality is far too...

I can see an argument that a larger base limit would allow some flexibility for sites to have different limits for different classes of pew. Give the smg guys 1j, the ar guys 1.14, the support gunner/battle rifle guys 1.3 etc. Means there'd be a benefit to lugging around a heavier gat over...

If the legal limit is 1.3, and the site chooses to allow up to that limit, then i'm not sure what the issue is. you can decide 1.3 is too much owchie and choose to avoid any site that allows it, thats a perfectly valid choice. Its not like people sneakily running hotter than site limits where...

By the time everyone is kitted out as whatever their version of a super-cereal secret-squirrel-weekend warrior is you can barely distinguish people by the camo they're wearing and the gat they're wielding. Whatever someone otherwise presents as the only thing that should matter is if they play...

Yeah, shoulda prefaced my statement with that. Selling a gat that you've never used because its a wall hanger or you have other reasons is fine

Am i the only one who thinks that only shooting a gat a few times before getting rid of it implies it's shit and thats why you want to get rid of it? Kinda like how a secondhand car that's 3 years old with 5 owners, whats so bad about it that nobody wants to keep it longer than a year?

a test is to assemble the upper+lower without the inner barrel/hop assembly see if it's still tight, will tell you if the hob is being jammed in there or if the gun is just a bit tight.

Pushing the hop unit up tight to the gearbox, which to a certain extend is exactly what you want. Indeed using o rings round the outer barrel rather than a spring the purpose is to acheive exactly that and even to the point where the pin needs a little tapping to get it in/out. Does double duty...

the nozzle length is just a case of getting a longer nozzle, there will be a correct size for your particular gat. you don't need to seal the gearbox to the hop unit, the key seals are: piston o-ring to piston rear face piston o ring to cylinder cylinder to cylinder head cylinder head to...
