Going to be a bit of a long post, but I just got home (well, I showered first because I needed it, and have also since done all my weapon cleaning and gear unpacking) from Operation Irene, a Black Hawk Down / Operation Gothic Serpent themed (and scripted) 24h milsim event put on by Defiant...

https://www.wolverineairsoft.com/files/documentation/MTW%20Spartan%20Electronics%20Owner%27s%20Manual.pdf Pages 7 and 8 are what you want. Adjusting the dwell can be a little bit fiddly and can take a bit of experimentation to get right, but if you want it firing as well as possible it's a...

I've got the Silent Industries hop unit, nub, and nozzle, with a 4uantum bucking and a 6.08 PDI barrel that I've widened the hop up window in. With that barrel it's not an efficient setup, and I'm only getting around 100 shots per co2 bulb at DMR power, but it's damn accurate. Have you made...

Mine are two DMRs and a bolt action, though only one of the DMRs is not packed away in boxes. Since one of my pet peeves is DMR trigger spam, I'll die before I start trying to imitate the "that's not full auto" clip

Never played against me then, but in fairness I very rarely use my HPA guns and tend to use GBBRs and gas bolt actions most of the time, so I'm used to very low ammo capacity; my Tanaka m24 mags are 10rds each!

No, but also yes. Sort of. Joule creep typically refers to the phenomena where the power increases alongside the BB weight. This happens predominantly in gas guns, spring sniper rifles with large cylinders (SRS, Tac41, bore-up kit VSRs etc.) but can also affect HPA guns when set up properly...

I hate barrel socks because I think they're lame. When I started airsoft as a 14 year old rental player, I had been shooting already for 6 years with my parents, and I had also been in cadets for a few months where the first thing we learned is firearm safety. Even as a rental, you can bet I was...

I am finally ready for my first 24h milsim after spending a few game days tinkering and tweaking guns and load-bearing options. It's an Operation Gothic Serpent themed event put on by Defiant at Longmoor and I am going as a Somali militia sniper. Rules are very low ammo; realcap rules, but also...

That really sucks for the guy who got injured. As they say in the post, and as they say in basically every airsoft safety brief, you only have one set of eyes, so permanent damage can't even be repaired by medical procedures. All this does is reinforce my decision to wear my eye-pro from start...

Went out to Worthing Airsoft for my last game day before the 24h event (since I'm not going to a skirmish next weekend because... my favourite game has a major update on the Friday :geek:), so this was the last day to make sure everything was working as it should be. So even though I feel like...

If I was marshalling at a site where I had my own children playing, I'd hold them to a higher standard than the other airsofters but it sounds like this situation was the other way around.

Went to Driver Wood on Saturday this week instead of Sunday. Seemed like the correct choice, with Sunday being Mother's Day and the clear and sunny forecast looking better for Saturday than the potential overcast and rain on Sunday afternoon. Still on the gear testing for the 24h milsim at the...

I headed out to Worthing Airsoft yesterday and was determined to play the full day, since I skipped the previous weekend because I'm just... tired of the wet and the cold. This weekend wasn't raining, though I wouldn't call it dry since the woodland was still pretty boggy in places, but was a...

I've been wondering how well that new thermal antifog works when using corrective lenses. My assumption is that it wouldn't work because it's heating the goggles, but not the inserts?

I had this in reverse a few game days ago. I pretty much always use medium powered magnified optics (anywhere from 3x up to 24x) so I can always see when I hit people with my bolt actions and DMRs so I never have this issue. However I used my URGI with an LPVO and was shooting at people under 1x...
