Not impressed with the R-Hop patch 😡 It seems to have torn after 2 mags through it! Has been removed and a SBA rubber put in with the Faceless barrel to see if that fairs up any better. Can't say I felt any sharp edges on the window.

R-Hop porn anyone?

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Steveocee replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Just caved and bought a VMP for the SRS. Strangely going for a tighter barrel yielded an FPS loss. That or the hop is set to far on. Either way, shiny stuff yeah? -
Quick! Someone go make an airsoft site out of it https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8011865/Ghost-ship-washed-Irish-coast-Storm-Dennis-drifting-thousands-miles.html

Points for namesake though. Must be a massive pair to price that ambitiously lol.

Do you have the original TM parts? Are they included? -
Results of said Rapax spring testing! So firstly let me pre-requisite, yes I know my J are a little warm for the UK, this will be resolved once the new barrel goes in along with a longer airbrake to bring them back under control. The gun is stored without a spring so no it's not a firearm sitting there. My testing 0.2's are a mixed bag, it does look like there was an inconsistency. All shots fired on a 20" Sport with FAST hop set for 0.43s on it's last outing with SBA 60° bucking and a SBA airbrake piston head with medium brake inserted. Silverback M150 using 0.2 in fps 470 475.9 476.1 437.5 475 Silverback M150 using 0.43 in fps 348.4 347.9 347.5 346 345.6 Rapax 2J using 0.2 in fps 479.9 476.9 477.2 441.7 476.5 Rapax 2J using 0.43 in fps 345.7 345.4 347.8 348.3 350.1 Other points to mention So in a one after the other test I was wrong with my previous statement, the Rapax does feel a bit easier to pull than the SBA M150. The Silverback spring has had 2 game days (read 1000) bolt pulls so is likely better bedded in than the brand new Rapax. There was no spring twang!
-
So far the Rapax 2J spring feels just as difficult if not slightly more to pull than the SBA M150. Maybe because it's new? Haven't chrono'd it yet but will do to see a comparison on J. The way it "feels" I'm expecting it to be warmer than the SBA M150.

Second play with camo pens. Quite happy with the result.

@L3wisD It does, even if you prep really well (lots-o-sanding) the final outcome is very textured as you're applying relatively thick amounts with a sponge. On RIFs I see it as a good thing as it's quite grippy and matt. I guess you could sand it back and lacquer if you wanted smooth but then it'd be glossy?

The 'What have you just bought' Thread

@Cromulon1994 is it the v2 hater? May I ask where you bought it from as I've been trying to avoid finding them in stock for a while due to temptation lol. -
If you look a little harder, the tape has been applied to look exactly like the ADIDAS logo so this automatically increases the value by 200%.
-
FWIW; I received a Rapax 2J spring yesterday. Have put that in the pile of parts to go in. Just holding out for some stock to come in before I pull her apart.
-
Oh but that's just because you're limiting yourself to plastic. Have a look at ceramic 👍 Muchos pennies but heavier and whiter than grey 0.5s (and quite possibly not allowed to use them on any UK sites lol)
-
Of course there is no physical limit as such but you have to bear in mind that the stock hop is just 2 bolt ends pushing into a stock 60deg rubber. It won't ever offer a hop application as good as a top down style will do. Nothing says you can't use heavier, they just might not hop as well which would remove the point of using heavier ammo as it could potentially only range as far as lighter but take a split second longer to get there. Stock >0.4 FAST >0.5
-
As heavy as you can hop. Stock hop should be able to hop 0.4s, maybe make 0.43 if you take your time and get it perfect. Once you go FAST you're into the 0.5 territory!
-
New contender! £140 for second hand or you could have brand new for £106(plus £15 for a spare mag); Cracking price if it was the STI EMG version but the R601 on the side of that box screams it's an Army Armament cheaper version.

Excitement at getting a shipping notification and not remembering what it was you ordered 😎

Great run out yesterday. Using an M150 spring and medium SBA airbrake head set up for hopping 0.43's was making about 480 on 0.2's through the chrono (yeah I know but site dictated you chrono'd on 0.2s). Have dropped an order into skirmshop for a Rapax 2J spring though to get an easier bolt pull and hopefully combining that with the faceless 6.04 & rhop I will be able to use the long airbrake and still make about 2.2J. Only a few things left I want to get now. VMP for 1 and I'm thinking of a 16" outer with muzzlebrake and dtss barrel stabiliser (cheaper than a 420mm barrel)
-
Nice one dude. I'm going to wait my time out until 17/2 then it'll be 2 months from ordering.

My credit card spending has made me very remorseful this afternoon 😞

I mostly find myself panicking when ordering as I try to bundle as much as I can to save on postage and end up massively overspending even though I would buy the stuff eventually. Worse still is most places have 1 thing not the other in stock and vice versa from another seller so at that point I've talked myself into buying so why stop now?
Only a small shopping list left now though.

@Hedzshot maybe have a couple of games with it. Mine was a bit stiff at the end but 2 days use and it is effortless.
-
You literally only need an M150 and they're awesome. Hope 16th goes better for you.
-
Getting there, forgot to make out you're the victim but that's being picky lol

You realise you're supposed to disagree with a huge childish outburst right? Not be all sensible and understanding and reasonable?
