1.3J is also the legal limit. Most sites use 1.14J to give a bit of wiggle room so if you fail chrono by a little bit you're not suddenly brandishing a Section 5 firearm. Same with bolt action snipers, any single shot (includes DMRs) has a legal limit of 2.5J, just most sites go with 2.32J for...

Only around 270fps because of the 20" barrel unfortunately, but that's well under 500fps so I'm fine 😅 What? You're telling me I'm missing an extra 0? Nahhhhh, fake news

Hunting GIs with their own weapons...

A very simple accessory for my stock pouch to really look the part. Those damn cheaters will call *these* hits (this is a joke, these are de-primed, inert rounds and are just for show!)

I went to Worthing Airsoft again this weekend, but I only played half the day. I never thought it'd happen, but I think I'm all airsofted out so I only wanted to do half the day. Over the past month I have played every weekend, two of which were full weekend events, so I guess it makes sense...

Yep, pretty much this. Pre-ban Tanakas have a screw in the bolt that regulates the power by blocking off part of the intake depending how far you close it, very much working the same as an NPAS. They're pre-ban, because Japan passed a law in the mid 2000s or so that meant Tanaka couldn't produce...

Ratio is still a factor in AEGs, but it only really becomes an issue in DMR builds honestly. Any 1.14J gun running sensible weight ammo will be fine with the air volume in an AEG, but DMRs tend to have longer barrels and want heavier BBs, which is a really bad combination for proper air...

*looks at pre-ban Tanaka m24, pre-ban Tanaka m700 AICS, post-ban Tanaka m700, and post-ban Tanaka G33/40* Y-yeah... can't justify having two Tanakas...

1.68:1 ratio is very low, honestly. I typically refer to the old 1tonne forum posts on the airsoft sniper forum when he was testing different barrel lengths with VSRs to work out the best ratio. It's old knowledge, but I don't see it being any different these days. I also don't see how it'd be...

Yeah, I'm totally with you on that point. It's why it annoyed me so much when someone did do the stitch-counting, because in all the filmsims I've been to so far it's been pretty good. I saw a couple of modern AKs with wood parts bolted on to hide it, modern rifles wrapped in tape or hessian...

Long one, so grab your snacks and a cuppa... I just got home from the first episode of 2026's 'Namsoft at Gunman Eversley Alpha. I think my car has an electrical fault though, as the ABS, traction control, and oil warning lights came on, but I checked my oil levels and they seemed fine, and my...

What do you mean there are no hot single RIFs in my area?

I wish more sites did this... And if you can't answer how your gun is semi-locked, then maybe you shouldn't be using it. I don't like this as an option either, and as @Colin Allen said above, it's not a grey area as it's still full-auto capable; most are just a quick switcheroo that you can do...

I don't think trigger spam at semi auto is a criminal offense as there's no rate of fire to the law about section 5 firearms outside of it must be single shot. Could still get in trouble with the police though if the officers mistake the semi auto spam for full auto if it's fast enough, and I...

Played the full day at Worthing Airsoft today. I was going to only play half the day and use the 2nd half to make sure all my gear is set up for the Vietnam game as I needed to get my DMRs down to 1.14J as Gunman have a sniper ban at Eversley this time of year. However, I arrived early (as...
