    Got shouted at by marshals today for my ROF and I wasn't even shooting when it happened... marshals just get attracted to the dye mask.

    literally every CQB site I play at I hear a rof complaint. Either aimed, at me, someone else, whatever.
    Only place I have played at that has zero complaints is Bravo 1, and that's strictly double taps.

    Must be frustrating.. I'd be pissed off if anyone came to me crying that my gun is shooting too fast..

    I also noticed a lot of people here on the forums use cheap BBs (Nuprol is the British equivalent of our Royal stuff)..

    So, here's the thing:

    Do people really think that saving €3 on a bag of bbs (bought once every 2/3 game days) will save them some actual money?

    When they can buy higher grade bbs and not having to worry about jams and bbs shattering onto eyepro?

    "the £s add up at the end of the year"
    I find that the brits near me are very hung up on this fact and will put poor bbs through their gun to "save money"
     I actually use a bb brand thats a bit cheaper than nuprol per bottle, but im yet to have them shatter... (The Draft Club).

    Maybe it's just poor luck when they shatter because any bb can do it. But I know for a fact the local players to me tend to save as much money as they can because "it all adds up"

    So... I just found out that Steve Glennie is back at his scamming games.... Just scammed multiple people in a massive discord group chat over the past 2 weeks -_-

    Nobody will go to his address because most people are all talk. 

    Not everyone knows about him because they just want to get rid of something or buy something thats a bargain. Until you read about him, or get pointed in the direction of a thread etc you wouldnt blink to sell/trade to him. Would you google my name if I asked to buy something from you? Probably not.

    That's true.

    As Evil stated though i wonder if its been through other parts of the Irish legal system yet...

    Anyone know why the hpa Evo isn't stopping on empty? Just a dodgy trip switch on these mags? Or is this a lie I'm reading on the website ?

    I would guess the spring in the magazine is busted.

    Try doing what you're doing with a bit of help from gravity.

    (turn the gun upside down)

    L
    LightningCh
    They worked upside down, must be a bad spring then, oh well at least I know now lol.

    Urgh, tried to book in to the local CQB site and turns out, my mom has put the kids safe settings on the router... It's ALMOST like she doesn't want me playing airsoft or something... hmm, wonder if she realises I know the account password lol.

    where you playing at mate?

    I was booking on for Bravo 1, kinda wrecked my plans, still booking an evening game there though for the closest possible date lol.

    L
    Ok so had to take a few days away due to life, but back again, airsoft tomorrow and more annoying posts for all :P  

    L
    ok so just chronoed my krytac with a xcortech mk3... 0.25 bb landed a 310 fps shot as a highest... thats gonna be scraping under the chrono at my next game... I hope their chrono doesn't read it much higher...

    You might find it might be lower so no need to worry!

    ive had my various AEGs chrono’d and the difference can be quite a bit between two chronos at the game!

    my brothers G33F chrono’d high on the morning by 3 or 4 over but afternoon it passes with flying colours!

    L
    Had a great day at the Gaol with @awestie90 it was his first time and I set him up with CQB (not my smartest idea lol). But we both enjoyed it and will definitwly be going back lol.

    Unfortunately there was lots of cheating though which is a shame but meh, it happens. Can't be a great day every day.

    L
    Loving my insomnia as always lol. Gotta be up at 6am in order to get ready and drive to the Gaol... Currently 1:32am... Probably wont sleep now.

    L
    Ok so as I already know this place is mainly London and everywhere but Staffordshire lol.
    But I want to see who is actually in the Staffordshire area who is active on here. Let me know, if we can get enough then there's chance of a team (makeshift team i mean)... Or at the very least, regular meets at sites across the area lol.

    Just spent at least 1 hour properly adjusting my condor recon rig to fit me... And doing a makeshift job to strengthen the bib kit... But now that it's correct I can get my 4 M4 mags on the lower section, and my hi capa on the bib... and still run a tight 2 point sling for my primary without clashing with anything :D

    When my Onetiris FPC arrives I’d be spending some time on pimping it too  :)  somehow, gonna have 2 air hoses running through for my glock and primary !

    L
    LightningCh
    lol, that sounds like fun... But at least the FPC would have the structure in it... the recon rig and bib are basically fabric, and a hicapa with its mag in is almost 1Kg of weight, so it was dragging everything down lol.

    Was refusing to use a belt holster as it collided with my gun, and drop legs never properly fit me and just slide around my thigh.

    In the end I stuffed cut to size cardboard pieces into the rear admin pouch on the bib so it doesn't bend as much.

    L
    Doubt there would be any interest for some magpul clone MBUIS flip up iron sights in Tan?
    What about Some original Krytac Iron Sights? Need cash but not got anything spare to actually sell lol...
    Still got that battery up for sale as well, only had 1 bite and it fell through due to lack of deans connection...

    So yeah, any takers? probably not...

    How much you looking for, for the magpul clones?

    L
    LightningCh
    The Magpul Clone MBUS sights have sold.

    Just the krytac stock iron sights and the battery left.

    Although I may hold onto the krytac sights for resale reasons... Hmm.. Will think about it.

    L
    So since I never learn... I decided to disassemble my Krytac CRB, and just hoped I didn't wreck the spring again. Lucky for me the krytac is built a little differently and the receiver slides right off, not up and away like on the G&G... So no issues :D

    L
    LightningCh
    *looks down after posting and spots the spring from the inner barrel* god damn it -_-

    L
    So took apart my Wild Hog today to just try and see how easy it is to do this. Turns out it's easy :D  Only thing is I'v e managed to do something to the bolt so instead of being a non locking bolt for hopup access... it just sits freely wherever i put it and i have to manually push the bolt forward again to hide the hopup... no idea what I've done but won't complain as it makes it easier to access lol.

    I can't get it to sit any better so I guess the spring is just stretched out too much now. looks like this is a really common problem... how can it be stopped? I mean, I guess first time around I didn't realise that there was a notch that catches the charging handle so if do it gently it may prevent it but wow... one of those inherent flaws in a design i guess. thanks for the replies guys :)  I'll get my hands on a new spring asap.

    Yea this happened to me on my most recent change of bucking... Annoying, but I got a spring change done at proairsoftsupplies for like £5

    Fair enough, I'm getting the gun swapped over to Deans as well as the batteries this weekend so I'm sure the tech will replace it for me for a couple extra quid... At least I know what's actually happened now lol. Part of the learning curve into tech work I guess :)

    L
    8am, in a place I've never been before? It must be airsoft time at a new site... Already seen a guy go by with his LARP gear on for CQB... so... Let's see how this goes...

    L
    So for the last couple days I have been trying to find the best way to cram an 11.1 Lipo into the crane stock of the G&G Wild Hog.
    I contact a gun tech as I need to get the wires shortened and a Deans conversion done anyway, I mentioned the trouble I had and he said "Are you trying to cram the stick down the buffer tube without moving the ECU?"
    So guess which idiot just found out he can move the ECU out the way because it's on a huge wire?
    This one... 

    At least now that I have found out and moved the ECU to the right hand side... I can fit 2 sticks in the buffer tube and 1 in the left side now lol.

    L
    So come to charge my LiPos to storage charge (they were shipped with 30% due to postage and all that) Am I right in thinking it's roughly 4.0V for storage charge on 11.1V LiPos?

    L
    So with my recent purchase of a Nuprol Carry Case. I need a pair of combination padlock (or just a basic key one) that will fit the lock holes. Anyone know a decent lock for them?

    L
    LightningCh
    Maybe you and I have a different opinion on "decent" because at no point did I say I wanted "expensive" locks. I want something that's sturdy enough and not going to break the bank (I have had many "cheap" locks break on me even though they were £5, just bad build quality) -_-
    Also "cheap suitcase lock"  is an incredibly vague term as well because 30mm depth shackles don't fit properly...

    L
    LightningCh
    Oh and also, locks are required by security to get through train stations and airports. This isn't just some "I want a lock for safezones" this is a lock for travel and with how airports handle luggage? I'd rather have a better built lock on that won't shatter and shell out the money.

    L
    LightningCh
    I made a forum post about this anyway explaining in further detail

    L
    Oh so the status updates was disabled in my own settings!? Damn, how did I not see this earlier? Ah well, I've finally found it haha.
