    Super lucky escape if Paypal have refunded you. Many on here pay by F&F and get shafted.

    There are. You get it more at Milsim events but the CQB near me did a 3rnd pistol match which was good fun.

    Group of about 60 of us. Gave a bomb to a group of 20, bomb made very loud noise every 10 mins. Very large woodland. Group were told to make themselves scarce for 60Mins. Our job was locate and retreive bomb. Doesn't sound that awesome but it was fantastic, total free roam of the woods and creative license to either lay in wait or go full bore searching.

    It's to do with cylinder to barrel ratio. Ideally you match your cylinder volume to the barrel, no air wasted, no slowdows, perfect exchange. When you run HPA you have a huge cylinder volume so you have an excess amount of air, the air has to go somewhere, this means that the air displaces a lightweight BB easily and then the excess air just is unused and is vented out the barrel, this can cause a bit of turbulence and is a minor issue. The real issue is when you stick heavier ammo in as then that excess air gets utilised in pushing the BB out as it needs more behind it to get it going. That's joule creep. What you experienced with your VSR is the same as the cylinder in a VSR, especially for a Gspec with 303mm barrel, the cylinder volume is larger than the barrel volume. MCG have kind of done the right thing, just expressed it in the wrong way, they want to remove joule creep but instead of chronoing on joules or even the weight you are using and converting down to 350 they have said 330 on a 0.2 which is effectively 1J however 330 on a 0.2 could be abused on a very creepy build with heavier ammo to be above the equvalent of a 0.2 at 350 (which is the AEG limit). Yes in theory you could creep like buggery and get away with it on sites that chrono on a 0.2. I watched someone chrono at NPF with a 0.2 and get 480fps and then stick some .43's through and get 400fps. The guy opted not to use it as he was a decent person BUT the marshall was fine with it (I was like WTF?!?! and clearly there is a hole for education - yes I brought this point up with them - no I didn't ever get a reply). I set my snipers hopup for the correct weight and chrono from there. Even my spiciest sniper does 317 on a 0.48 which I think when you look at a conversion table is about 490 on a 0.2? I'm happy as I won't joule creep, I'm well within site limits and I have a small buffer for a dodgy chrono. I will also be perfectly fine if I go to a site that chrono's correctly in J's as well as a lot of the guys buying Novi SSG's are going to be absolutely on the limit with a 0.2 and will go way over when they go heavy weight.

      Do I need one in my life? That's the question?

      I tried the polymer variant previously and it was 'fine'. I know they get a lot of praise, largely for quality versus cost. I've certainly used better (though these were either more expensive, or harder to source), and I've certainly used worse. The part I was least impressed by was the inner belt, which may be more a case of having used what I feel to be much better designed inner belts rather than it being objectively poor. I was toying with trying out the metal buckle version and just using a different inner... but managed to catch myself before falling for the trap of buying something I really don't need because it's cheaper.

      But what colour? OMG.... choices 😮

    Sorry yes Taiwangun. I know the AA capas are TM compatible in regards to BBU area so the mags should work fine.

    highpressureairsoft have got some KILLER cyber monday deals on. I've bought what I need so go nuts.

      Thanks to you, I just spent £200ish on a tank, line, regulator and SDiK bolt for the VSR

       

      Damn it, why did you have to say that highpressureairsoft were having deals? xD

      @Impulse you're victim number 2 that's owned up then lol.

      If you want it and it's cheaper then it was the right time.

       

      And in my defence your name is impulse, I wouldn't imagine you not to be impulsive lol

      Well, I've already been using my VSR with a Wolverine Bolt and CO2 adapter, but I wanted to try the Mancraft kit too as it doesn't need a battery and is half the price of the Bolt M. Also, this lets me just use an HPA tank and never worry about having to change out those damn CO2 bulbs every few mags. It also dictates that my next big purchase will be a Polarstar engine for one of my m14s, so I can run it as a HPA DMR. Silence, range, semi-auto ROF... I think it'll be my scariest gun. I might keep it at 1J so I don't get the 30m MED as my 1J AEG m14 can out-range most bolties at my local field, but with a regulator I can make that decision easily without having to open up the (horrible) v7 gearbox to swap springs out. Yes, I have 2 m14s, what of it?! xD

       

      Hey, I'm the picture of self-control! I didn't even renew my UKARA because I refuse to buy new RIFs until I've either paid all my debts or hit my target weight.

    I want to apologise to @ak2m4 for ordering a set of screws for £1. Will try to break more stuff so the order is worth doing next time.

      HAHA, I forgot that was you.... I have so many customers with your 1st name, I get them all mixed up...wish you just asked me would have just sent you a whole load, sigh

    Why bother when you can be spoon fed?

    Monster! I'm just waiting for HPA to have the Cyber Monday sale. Going to try and pick up a P* Jack to drop into a CM16-SRS for a bit of a sleeper build. You seen the FPS limits at MCG on HPA? 330fps on a 0.2. They do that so joule creepers can't get above 350 but still, can't help but think "chrono with the right weight BB and go for 1J eh". I'm sure a 1J MTW will still destroy most things out there. Beech corner won't know what's hitting it lol
  12. Steveocee
    Best get one ordered then lol
  13. Steveocee
    It's almost like cam man knew about the incoming stock and new revisions isn't it?
  14. Steveocee

    I've survived! No large stupid purchases. Only a cheap suppressor for a gun I don't use.

      Same here, but probably will buy something before christmas 😂

      Same..somehow..

       

      Mostly because the things I need aren't on discount 😕

  15. Steveocee
    Do they HAVE to be TM mags? FWIW TG have the Army hi capa mags for about £16 brand new each and there's 15% off today. Would total about £125 delivered for 8 new ones?
  16. Steveocee
    I'm Derbyshire but was looking at Z Mart the other day anyway as I don't mind a journey for a unique day.
  17. Steveocee
    Just proves how little you value a used and probably knackered LiPo and half a bag of $hite BB's
  18. Steveocee
    Happy to club up as it'd be well worth an early morning / long drive to play there.
  19. Steveocee
    No idea why I'm tagged as it's a long ass way to travel but I'm well up for it! Just need lots of notice. Preferably a Saturday as well but if it's midweek then I'll chuck a days holiday in. I'd likely bring a buddy as well. Need to @GAMBLE for this 👍

    There is very little to no reason not to buy directly from Primary. When I bought mine it came in really good time and they mark them up as "pneumatic parts for toy" so you don't get bashed by customs. They're a stright up company. If you wanted lesser products, Highpressureairsoft sometimes have the TAPP stuff in and there is a comapny called CT innovations based in EU (pfffft importing from US will be easier soon) but their adapters just aren't as nice or well finished as the Primary ones.
  21. Steveocee
    Why not just sew your own patch over the ones it has? BDU you want with your stamp on it and won't insult anyone.

    More amazing CQB sniper hate cheater DSG gameplay because they thought airsoft was fun with abuse rage quits and fight. Did I do that right? Second part of the morning at Skirmish CQB now up 👍
  24. Steveocee
    Contrasting to the above. A buddy ordered some vector mags, they shipped a couple days later and received fine. Very up and down.
  25. Steveocee
    Thank you, nothing too extravagent but spec list is as follows; I apparently have a PDI barrel in transit (although it's going the long way round the world to get to me), also have some AIP aluminium sights to add to it as well. All running from a Primary HPA adapter.
