    Umarex UMP 45 - dodgy fire selector

    Hey! Bear in mind I'm a lowly Airsoft noob, barely playing for a year. So, what does "over-running" mean?

    Nice, thanks.

    Umarex UMP 45 - dodgy fire selector

    First time using the gun at South Coast CQB on Saturday. For the most part it was great, I had more fun with this thing than any other game using my G&G Raider 2.  What I found though was that in single shot the gun would sometimes just decide not to do anything, as if the battery was dead...

    Rotary hop up arm isn't moving

    Nah, I've totally wrecked this one. I think because I was too thick to get how the hop up arm worked with the adjustment wheel, so with my figuring out how it worked i've worn down that little bit on the lever that slots into the wheel. Like I said you live, you learn. Though to be honest a...

    Rotary hop up arm isn't moving

    Hi Nick. Yep, I see that groove now. I think what's happening is that the little plastic nub on the back of the hop up arm should slot into that groove but now I'm convinced that it's been worn down and unable to slot into the groove on the adjustment wheel. Probably because of me messing about...

    Rotary hop up arm isn't moving

    Thanks for replying. I mean with it disassembled and out of the gun the hop-up arm doesn't physically move. There's a spring under the end of the hop up arm that's nearest the rotary dial and I imagine it's job is to push that end up so the other end goes down and pushes the nub into the hop up...

    Rotary hop up arm isn't moving

    Hi all. I've got a G&G Raider 2.0E L with a G&G rotary hop up exactly like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZRmDjd3PnA I've flat hopped this thing but find that the hop up's arm appears to be stuck. I can turn the adjustment wheel round and round either clockwise or...

    So it seems I've turned my Combat Machine into a Death Star superlaser

    Genius.

    So it seems I've turned my Combat Machine into a Death Star superlaser

    Different site each time - South Coast CQB the first time and Ironsight yesterday. It did occur to me that one chrono would read differently to another but I do want to go back to Ironsight. I'm still blown away by the leap in velocity from just wrapping the bucking. Thanks for the advice on...

    So it seems I've turned my Combat Machine into a Death Star superlaser

    I might be exaggerating just a wee bit. Short version of the story is I got my G&G Raider CM16 2.0 chrono'd at a game today and it averaged out at about 357fps which made it too hot for the 350fps site limit. About four weeks ago it chrono'd at 298fps. All I've done since then is I've...

    Over engineering zeroing-in my sight?

    All good, guys. There's a similar method used for motorcycle wheel alignment and I wondered whether it'd apply here. I'd suspected not otherwise I wouldn't have posted, so thanks taking the time to comment!

    Over engineering zeroing-in my sight?

    Disclaimer: I took up airsoft only about a year ago. I've had my own gun since May. I know enough to know that I know very little and I'm old enough to be OK with that. But I also know that airsoft guns are by their nature inaccurate things. I have flat-hopped my gun after reading, watching and...

    Remember that buzz when you just started out?

    Who is this? What's your operating number?

    Remember that buzz when you just started out?

    ...well, that's me.  My first game was in July last year, after years of wanting to get into airsoft. Reasons for me taking so long to start are in my first post (this being my second), and that first game didn't disappoint. Real life got in the way of getting to my second game which was April...

    Hello from Christchurch, Dorset!

    Hello! I'm Jonathan and it's good to have found these forums. I've had a read through the guides before posting here and I've learned a ton and I hope I've some awareness of the board etiquette here. I've been keen to get into airsoft for quite some time now though have played only once so far...
