  • Big game on Sunday with all the teams from the region.

    Field looks seems to be really open.

    Shall I take the sniper or sling 0.32s in my AEGs?

    Ahahahah, I'm afraid our adventures with the cheetah club are over :(

    After "stealing" our worst members (literally, they took in a guy who doesn't call his hits unless he bleeds and another who thinks he knows it all lol), we decided to never invite them on our field again.

    With that being said, I think I'll bring the AK, although I have to check the shimming as it's a bit of a whiny bitch, if I can't fix it in time then it's Honey Badger time with the specna as a backup.

    I have ML rubbers in all my guns, so hopping them rocks isn't really a problem..

    Referrs to .32's as rocks

    Got more Intel on the field I'll be playing at.

    Seems good for sniping..

    Okay, gonna take the sniper BUT I am also taking the AK + smersh combo, just in case shit gets real and I need to fling many BBs over there in a short time.

    BOIS I NEED HELP!

    (Nice clickbait huh?)

    for real tho.

    A mate of mine has an Amoeba CCR for sale, externally it's OK but internally it's utter shit, all grindy and runs at sub 20 RPS on a beefy 11.1...

    I have a Honey Badger, internally it's great but I want a super short rifle with a folding stock.

    Would it be worth to swap bodies?

    Skara

    I just rebuilt the HB in its stock form, with the super unbalanced and heavy OEM 9" rail. It's uncomfortable but it does look good, especially with the FF carry handle (which I bought FYI :P ).

    also chronoed it, 0.96J (good) and 16 RPS on a 11.1 (meh).

    New motor's coming in next week (debating whether or not putting the ifrit 25k or the incoming SHS high torque in there, any tip?).

    I've already seen that AY thingy, what bugs me is the metal receiver.

    Not because of the weight (2070g vs 1930 of the Ares and I can still send it to a friend to be skeletonized and shave some grams off) but because after a while all the metal body guns I've seen turned into wobbly cunts. Definitely inviting for the price (apart from the weird gearbox shell).

    I'll check on another teammate who has a CCR, it's been rebuilt recently and runs somewhat smooth.

    Ifrit is more expensive

    25k and main point is it has an " O " type pinion

    The SHS HT is 30k (ish), has a D type pinion

    To me it falls to performance/price and ease of pinion replacement. Even if you got a pinion puller, if you can get or already have spare pinions that some might mesh with bevel being used

    SHS do both type of pinions anyway

    If you got a puller then it boils do to the price/performance & availability I guess

    Both are good motors

    If you got an ifrit in your gun then you don't HAVE to change it like you would if you had a later STD 18k G&G grey motor

    If people find the 25k Blue "Powerful Motor" ferrite motor

    or better still the Orange Ifrit in their new G&G then they don't really need a new motor is what I mean

    tough call but price performance I'd probably go for SHS

    but if a Ifrit came in gun or lightly used one came along for a cheap price I'd consider it

    as said think price/availability along with pinion etc...

    will dictate which one is better - but both are decent

    Skara
    Skara
    Asked because I already have an ifrit (it's in my arp at the moment), since I'm getting another SHS HT/13:1 combo I thought I'd slap the SHS stuff in the ARP and use the 25k on the Ares.

    I'll give it a try tomorrow and see what happens :)

    Not looking at 27 RPS/7.4 type of performance tho.

    but ffs 16 RPS on a 11.1 is just meh :(

    Modify is working on a Steyr Scout Rifle!!!

    About time!

    No, I once again added too much unnecessary shit :(

    Move your ass G&G and release the SSG-1 drop stock and handguard already!

    Fuck's sake, I need to build my stupid tournament gun!

    Steveocee

    Just buy the SSG1 and be done with it.

    I don't need a whole new gun, I just need those 2 parts for my honey badger (handguard and maybe the stock) and ARP-9 (stock)  :(

    I swear I don't get some people.

    1st game after the summer break, we invite the infamous cheater club (ye ye why are we inviting them... More people at the field, more targets to shoot at, that's why).

    TL;DR version is that everything went well until the last 3 games, at that point nobody was calling his hits anymore ?

    Spotted the enemy sniper and dumped about half a flash mag on his forehead (before anyone goes full KM, it was the only thing I could see) from close distance (under 10 metres), only to be shot in the neck by a G18 burst as I closed in on him. Meh, took it and didn't complain, he looked like Jesus Christ with his crown of thorns, 'twas enough for me.

    Last game was surreal though, one guy and I did a super long flank on the enemy defenders until we stumbled upon this girl who was looking the other way (she somehow didn't hear us and we almost missed her entirely), at this point I aim at her butt, flick to semi but the gun doesn't fire, she notices that we are both aiming at her from literally 3 metres, raises her gun but I've already vanished behind cover. My teammate went behind the very tree she was hiding in before she could let the first shot off.

    She tried to burst my ass but I had switched to the AAP and put 4 rounds in her mask, my teammates pops out of cover and puts another 3 in her side, meanwhile she sweeps the void in a somewhat desperate attempt to hit us as we were on her 3 and 9 o'clock from her position.

    She calls the hit and rushes to our club's president to call us out because we "blatantly cheated"..

    Fuck's sake it was going soooooo well :(

    We're on the same page.

    I'd rather play in 6, but 6 trustworthy and honest players, than playing with 30 others and having to deal with cheaters and dickheads.

    On a not-so side note, lemme start that thread and see what happens ;)

    Steveocee
    Steveocee
    You played against this team and they cheated.

    You invited them back again for whatever reasons but expected the result to be different?

    That is a textbook definition of insanity.

    Skara
    Skara
    To be 100% fair, I didn't know they were coming, nor did our president.

    It's a member of our club who knows their president and invited them.

    He thinks they're cool, but then all this shit happens every time :(

    Imagine going on a bike holiday with your old man.

    Imagine having the worst luck possible throughout the trip.

    Imagine him crashing in the most retarded way ever, completely destroying his right knee ligaments.

    Just when we reached the best places..

    Motorcycle trip, not bicycle.

    He can't drive anymore, so he is stuck at the hotel until a friend of mine rents a van and picks us up on Tuesday lol.

    At least we can still visit some WW1 museums around here :) which is the theme of this holiday

    Ok.

    Hope he makes a good recovery.

    Enjoy the museums.

    i'll pm you, lest i get burned at the stake

    Fucking deans, such a pain to solder..

    Skara
    Skara
    Well you do need a fuckton of tin on the connector's blades.

    XT60s required very little and they have those awesome sockets for the wires rather than a flat plate..

    But hey, GATE mosfets come with deans, not XT-60s :(

    AK47frizzle
    Flatten wire with pliers, put some solder on both wire and deans contact, melt them together, boom, done. Then heat shrink.

    Steveocee
    Steveocee
    Just use a choccy block. saves soldering then lol

    awwww shit.

    I got paid....................

    yup, €150 down the drain already.

    Took the striker in a game.

    Cheater club wants to join.

    For some reason people called hits when I shot them.

    Cheater Club president then proceeds to ignore a full auto magdump from the AAP01 from 4/6 metres.

    Mmkay...

    Ive always wondered about the psychology of the cheater.

    It is somewhat soul crushing especially if you've put a decent amount of effort and skill into a good clean shot only for it to be wasted.

    This whole concept of "club" play bothers me.  Any group of humans will divide the world into Us (all that is good and pure and holy) and Them (all that is evil and corrupt), until it ends in zealous bloodshed.  This is why decent sites will split up large groups - better to have you shooting at the person that's giving you a ride home.

    it's how airsoft works here. Can't really do much about it.

    So, had a night outdoors game yesterday, the AK performed flawlessly, the range with the MR-Hop is ludicrous on 0.28s, and it cycles smooth as silk.

    The AAP01 with the new rubber and 0.3s was used as a sniper rifle, haven't used full auto in anger yet and in the last game it removed the whole attacking team.

    On the other hand, a friend's Titan decided to shit the bed and randomly start firing for no fucking reason :D  I mocked him all night..

    AlphaBear
    AlphaBear
    Is that the same friend who was having problems with his Titan previously? He did clean the optical sensors of grease and gunk and placed a new white strip on the selector plate and then recalibrated the trigger.... right?

    Skara
    Skara
    his brother but his gun. And yes apparently, he did clean and recalibrate everything..

    Is it me or the specna arms website has disappeared?

    Right when I was looking at buying a new gun ?

    It's not showing up for me if I search for it, but it is there if I connect to the url directly. ?

    Tfw your local retailer is doing R-Hop installs (just fitting the patch and swapping rubber and tensioner) for €85.

    A bit of a scam isn't it?

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    the only real benefit i can see to the r-hop over a default unit like ml is the ability to have a softer compound on the contact patch and a harder one for the feedlips for a high fps build.

    but even then at higher fps you don't need as much spin anyway.

    just saves so much hassle dropping a pre-made bucking in and knowing it's going to be positioned and shaped just right.

    Skara

    At the current state, R-Hops are just a way for techs to make some extra money. A lot of money in my tech's case.

    But I am pretty sure only a handful of people will get r-hops installed, as everyone plays on .2s and the retailer doesn't stock bbs heavier than 0.25g anyway, so the service makes no sense.

    I still keep my range and consistency advantage :D

    Adolf Hamster
    Adolf Hamster
    same here, although i do sometimes wonder if i should really be preaching the benefits of heavier ammo quite so much, don't want the playing field too even......

    mhm....

    Dboys PDW?

    yay or nay?
