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.

it's good to be thinking about these things, you're in good company here many of us are the kind of people who like to ponder about how to achieve the best pew. without wishing to sound too insensitive, it seems that English isn't your first language and unfortunately this is making it a little...

it's also worth noting that there are cases of systems that don't operate with the firing occurring immediately after nozzle closure. i'm not 100% on the timings but a gun with sufficient precocking likely has the nozzle forwards round chambered before the trigger pull, and for sure dual...

If i'm reading this right, you're suggesting that there's a gap between the bb's resting point and the protrusion that imparts spin? That's not strictly a design flaw, there are non-standard patterns of bucking where the protrusion is a seperate component some ways down the barrel.

to emphasise on my earlier point about ammo, if i had a penny for every misfeeding gun i've "fixed" by handing the owner a magfull of geoffs and saying "try that".

Bedding the spring in probably isnt necessary to be too active about. Unloading a few rounds is a good idea to prevent feeding issues, and becomes more relevant the stronger the springs/the bigger the mag, a cut up stub of inner barrel with a pin ~60mm from the end can be used as a quick...

A lot of the key points have already been mentioned, and taking as a base assumption that your gun isnt the limiting factor (the usual gun based reasons for poor accuracy/consistency) then heavier will be better. A lot of folk tend to land on the 0.28-0.32g range for a balance between...

I do love the dichotomy of the very serious and respectable academic with presumably so much authorizing paperwork in his name on youtube rationalizing video game guns while wearing a steel panther t shirt.
