Hi mate. What part of Cheshire are you from? Don't worry about the age thing. Unlike paintball u will tend to find it isn't dominated by kids. I am 29 and 466 days lol and I tend to find I am in the middle of the age range when I play.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i3CqISdXdCA If u can't find the length of barrel in handbook or on line, take the old one out and measure it. Providing you want the same length of barrel (ie u don't want to extend it into a mock silence) u should be able to just but one the same length but with a tighter bore. How tight is upto u and dependent on how good the ammo that u use is.

I agree with prof; barrel, hop etc will make a greater difference to range.

Sorry didn't read all of the post, there is a lot. Retract what I said. What a d*ckhead.

The lad only made one post, do you think he is regretting it now? I think he has the right to wear what he wants and if it's good enough for prince Harry..... I am sure if he was fully informed he would maybe think twice about it. But I would say that one mans dictator is another mans hero. Only have to look at America who HAS to b at war with someone. I am sure that all the extra attention (bbs) will stop him from wearing it again. Lol.

On a serious note, I would look at what there "more active" sports have to offer. We all know about tennis but a lot of bike racers suffer alwith sweat. Might b worth thinkin out the box.

Have you tried this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yjSj244aEW8 😉

Can't help with that, I just use the force. Lol

Hav u tried getting inserts for a fan assisted goggles? Apologies if I havmiss read and this option has already been explored

Also thank you proffink. Stopped me being board during xfactor. Lol

Firstly I would like to make it clear I would never "cheat" the chrono. No need. It's rear for me to engage at over 30meters. Due to site. However could somthin be added To the barrel/silencer to slow bb. Then removed.

Hop?

Think the discription of "bullets" is correct. Lol

I know but I wasn't talking about that I was talking about cheats. And yes I ment more 😏 However think my point is founded. POWER 🚗 Top gear style

Yes but muzzle energy is determined by the gun not the weight of bb. For every action there is an equil and opposit reaction. To bring it back to my point. Using a heavier Bb to get under 350fps means u have an increase energy. I know y people use them again not my point.

My issue with hot guns isn't the increased distance it the risk to eye pro especially if it's a "reaction shot" at close range. A .43 @ 350 fps = 2.45J. A .2 @ 2.45J will be travelling @ over 500 fps. The gun still transmits the same energy regardless of the weight. (Give or take)

Agreed. Well off topic now.

u have just confirmed that I am right. Because a .4 @ 350 fps will be <1.14j it will infect be over 2j. I never mentioned creep. Wasn't the basis of my point. By switching down a weight of being it will increase the fps. Because the energy transferred to the projectile from the piston will be the same.

i would have thought that a .4 bb travelling at 350 fps has a higher muzzle energy than a .2 bb at 350fps. There for by using a .4 for chrono @ 350 fps u would have a higher muzzle energy than a site with a limit of .2 @ 350 fps. And so "cheat" the chrono. This would then mean your gun was shooting hot when switching to .2 for in game action. I wasn't discussing the relation between speed mass and energy, merely people's desire to gain any "advantage" they can. Please feel free to tell me if am wrong.

U learn somthin new every day.

Lol. What idiots. I didn't look at the weight. Bottle water is the same. 100 years traveling in volcanic rocks but the second it goes in a bottle it has a date it must B used by.

Are they bio degradable? If so then they should have a use by date.

They use .20s because then they know the energy transmitted from the projectile. If people where permitted to use there own weight of bb for chrono test then they would need to work out the energy calculation for each possible weight. If I used ur own ammo for the test it would be very easy to put .4+ in a mid cap. Shoot under 350fps then switch to .20/.25 when the game starts. This would potentially mean u put other players at risk especially if playing cqb where engagement distance are some time measured in inches. .20 are used because this is the lowest weight most of us use so indicates the max velocity the weapon will shoot at. I do think however that the hop units should be set to a minimum for the purpose of chrono test. I know what this would mean re setting it after but it's the only way to get a true reading. Especially if ur gun shoots at 349 fps.

Might be easier to just throw stones instead.

Wife keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. Told her a go pro, couple of timed grenades and some bits. What's everyone else askin Santa to bring them? ( if it's to early for u to think of Christmas keep the bar humbugs to yourself thanks )
