No idea, but would it matter if you were innocent?

I was aware of the Echo 1 connection, but not of the JG connection - I'm planning to spend £220 on KS, do you have any info on what differentiates the KS from the original JG? Thanks for this answer, looks like my first AEG will be JG.

But what would you tell the police when they found you with one? Remember, the R is for "Realistic", if you had a 2-tone, you'd say "it's me pa's". Edit: Caught was too confusing.

You don't need UKARA for 2-tones, most people are happy with 2-tones, just take your parent to a shop, say "i want that one", job done. Do not pass GO; Do not remove the 2-tone from the gun you have bought. Though really, go play the game first, one of the purposes of UKARA is to ensure that only REAL airsoft players and a few select other groups can purchase/make Realistic Imitation Firearms (RIFs). If you have a relative with UKARA, you should ask them first, anything someone on here might say is moot until you do that. The answer to this question is in the 9th, 11th, 14th, 21st, 25th, and 43rd posts in this thread.

Because?

However I would recommend you find out the difference between them here: http://forums.airsofters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6735 http://forums.airsofters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=15619

Find your nearest brick and mortar retail airsoft store and ask them, it is only the RIF/IF that they cannot sell to you, you can still buy everything else - also note that assembling/creating a RIF/IF without a defence is effectively the same as being sold one (and not allowed).

Many of the 6 shots can be switched on the fly between 3 and 6. Of course, you'll probably save money avoiding it. But I don't think any of them are locked at 6.

Oh wow, you can refill the gas tank? I did not know that. Don't be silly... ...How does that (TM M870 breacher) gun perform in terms of gas loads to shots fired... how much do the tanks weigh - their volume, can you get pouches for them. Use some bloody imagination. I like the faux grenade gas refill containers myself.

Well, how much did it cost you for starters, is it worth repairing on that basis alone?

How do you manage the gas? EDIT: Seems I confused Esoterick's TM M870 breacher with Happy's ASG Trishot when I wrote this.

It's right at the bottom.

Sneaky Zero one, that two tone looks awesome. And on absurdly easy to replace parts. Looks like a good start.

Going to watch this thread closely!

You have in your recent replies elucidated information which was not clear from your earlier posts which explains a lot, however I still query whether you cannot do this without gathering data. If as you say, they are proportional, you should be able to figure this out without gathering data? Yes: I'm not a maths/physics wiz, but I just cannot see how gathering data can help with this. Remember FPS, is the velocity after the bb EXITS the barrel... the force of the BB after it leaves the gun - at this point it really doesn't matter what the internals of the gun were. You cant cheat this. (though yes, it may not be possible to predict the FPS of a .3g bb even if you have a gun's FPS result from using .2g bbs) I would suggest rather than asking people for data you just buy a bunch of different length barrels - not because your experiment is not worth the time, but because so much more can vary between results than just the barrel. You need to control variables and polling for data will not do this. Also, your form doesn't ask whether the hop up was on.

Yes. And this is why I question you, why do you need data if its a physics problem? There has to be a degree of trust in this sport, based on everything I have learned in the last 2 months, using eye protection rated for bbs at .2g at 1 joule is nothing short of insane.

I apologise, it was my understanding joule creep was the way in which a person, irrespective of intent, may cheat chronograph testing to achieve game play with a gun which is above the joule limit of a skirmish site because that site measures their guns (in these tests) by FPS which does not reflect an accurate result if the person doing the testing is not familiar with the table above and does not realise that you need FPS AND an honest account of the weight of the BB fired to know for sure whether a gun is within the site's joule limits - thus the FPS (solely) is really irrelevant (as anyone can just always chrono with .30g and say they're .22g). You are referring to something else (impulse) clearly. Aye, but are you saying that this increase in speed will not be reflected in the FPS recorded (and checked against the weight) and thus make it impossible to chrono a gun? That doesn't make sense to me.

Ok, but how does that fool someone who expects a certain FPS from a certain BB weight to reflect a specified total joules. What I am really asking is, if you have the FPS and the weight, how is what you're referring to relevant (i'm not saying it isn't)?

Unless the person doing the test is aware that higher weights chrono lower velocities, they will put in a weight above .20g and then say it passed the test, when in fact it has not. Why should a gun be tested at with higher weight BBs when the only things that matter are the FPS at .2g - or is there some trick to making heavier BBs cheat physics? You can't cheat physics. (I'm not arguing, but what you're saying does not line up with what others have said elsewhere, not saying you're wrong yet).

I find that hard to understand. How can you know that?

If not, then what is it displaying?
