  1. Sadly.....

    You're still a "a little bittle kid" in the eyes of the law even though you likely have some fluff on your top lip now.

     

    Also a point to consider - if you live in your dads house, you need to live by his rules, he may have his own prejudices against it regardless to the legalities.

     

    Take him to a skirmish for the day, bit of bonding, you never know he may get the bug and then you'll have all the guns you want.

    Hello Folks.
     
    I have an SRS 16" Covert A2.
     
    Current mods are:
     
    Rapax 2J Spring
    Stalker Kraken Ultimate Hop
    60 Degree Kraken Hop rubber
    Maple Leaf 410mm Crazy Jet.
     
    I use .48's only. 490FPS on .2 once conversion takes place. I decided to keep this setup for two years and would start looking at making thing's quieter once the setup either broke or lost enough FPS to take a look at.
     
    I recently cleaned the rifle and replaced standard silicon grease with dry PTFE type lube. This resulted in a much better and smoother bolt pull, but I lost 30-40FPS.
     
    I am looking to regain the lost FPS by installing a weighted piston kit and fine tune with an airbrake to reduce sound.
     
    What are your preferred recommendations for kits?
     
    I can purchase either the Sniper Mechanics W.A.S.P kit or the Scorpion kit...
     
    OR the cheaper original Silverback SRS Variable Mass Piston kit and with the savings I can also grab an SRS Aluminum Spring Guide
     
    What do you think is the best way to go?

     

    Silverback VMP but install a SniperUpgrades mousefart on the front end of it. Even now people know SRS are quiet, I still get comments on how quiet it is. Mega consistent as it uses an O-ring to seal and not a cup.

    **Also, dry lube is fine on your cylinder but use the normal grease on your existing cup and FPS should come back up.

    @Steveocee I believe you posted a vid about a mini mamba setup. You had a longer barrel running out the front. Did you ever put in a shorter barrel? And if so what sort of velocity were you getting?

    I'm struggling to get over .5 joules with green gas. 84mm 6.02 barrel. 

     

     Be interested to see if it's a discrepancy my end or the limits of that length of inner barrel. 

     

    Nope not me.

    Hi all,

    I have an SSG10 and I have recently got a TM MK23 pistol, so essentially I am going for a silent loadout. However my (stock) SSG10 is till pretty loud, but I would like to 'fix' this. Firstly I do plan on blocking up the hollow butt plate with foam however my main question is this. Should I purchase either a WASP or Stalker piston and will they actually make a difference? If so which one and should I get a 3+ joule spring to achieve my 2.3 j site limit?

    If not then do you guys think airbrake, sorbo pads, fps adjuster and m160 spring will do what the pistons do just at a lower price?

    The reason I ask is I have seen a lot of contrasting information and I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thanks and merry Christmas.

     

    Stock VSR style pistons (ssg10 is this) are known for being pretty loud. Thankfully it's easily solved with an airbrake.

    You need to think opposite way though, bigger spring means more power to dampen down or faster moving piston to slap harder.

     

    WASP over a Stalker every time as stalker are just copy experts in everything they do. WASP with a long air brake and then the lightest spring you can get away with, RAPAX 2J is a good one. Add some weight to the piston (it comes with sleeves) to get the heavier BB's flying, aim for about a .43 using a 430mm barrel and your piston>barrel ration should be as near as dammit good enough (which also keeps it quiet) and you'll have a really quiet setup (for a springer).

  5. Had a read through as "back in the day" I used to work in car audio and there was occasionally the ask for a "power cap" from some of the boy racers, they liked the LED flashing lights and display on them.

    Back then it was always the answer of - ok-ish if you want something very quick and wasn't too hard on the draw, otherwise if your bass note dropped low and stayed there, it was additional strain on your battery trying to supply the amp and the cap simultaneously.

     

    In the given examples, I would imagine that semi response I guess "should" be likened to a paced tight beat but I would imagine a long pull on auto would be like dropping low for a few seconds (so not advised?)

     

    Good read. Thank you.

  6. It's fine, just let it go. The only thing I can imagine is on your original hammer the half cocked ramp had worn down a bit and this isn't the case on the new hammer and/or they were a little "rough" with your sear spring and gave it some more pressure.

     

    Either way, it'll be absolutely fine just pulling the trigger and letting the hammer go on it's own. The hammer impacts the knocker which is spring loaded, we're talking about the tiniest amount of wear/impact to the hammer ever. It'll take it a million times (well maybe not if it's Vorsk) before it breaks.

     

    Just remember - there is no firing pin, there is no "chamber" it's an airsoft toy, normal gun physics and logic don't apply as much.
