Sounds like an excuse to me.

@Albiscuit afraid we have to pull out. my mates missus got sick overnight and he wont go. Shame as packing up both LMGS kit last night took ages. Have a good time today though!

No probs, wondered why I couldn’t find you   

Happy birthday though!

@poachers if the underground plays ball on the weekend then I would love to take you up on the offer. What is your play style? See if we go tag team on some players.

If/when I get down to Plantation in the New Year more than willing to come pick you up mate

 

@Lasbrisas17 Have you played Gunman camp Bravo? Any good?

This is my first time, so I shall find out on sunday. Heard some people say its good though.

My ride has pulled out, so looks like I wont be playing this weekend anyway! 

 

I could always go to Tactical in Croydon though

@ak2m4 Get them to anodise it. A lovely gold finish that you can only see in the bottom of the magwell.

That's doubly disappointing then, as CYMA can churn out perfectly decent stuff.  Maybe just getting to the end of life on those moulds.

 

Wouldn't it be a laugh (sadly, not for you) if CYMA were fobbing off their bad castings on Dytac. It'd have a certain ruthless logic to it - use the best stuff in your own gear, and put the junk out under someone else's brand.

@Rogerborg and Dytac charge twice the price! 😉

Really they opened the parcel!! What the hell is wrong with people, greed.  She no doubt thought "hey free shit" then realised you knew exactly where it was.  You should have reminded her it's illegal to open post that isn't addressed to you

@ak2m4 No Harm this time around. I try not to make enemies of neighbours and I doubt she'll try again. 

Probably thought WTF is this stuff and best to give it to you. If it had been something normal you likely never would have seen them. 

 

I bought a RIF once and the seller put the wrong house number on the package, luckily they were not in and it went to the collection office and I managed to get to it before they did. I can only imagine their faces if it had got to them and they opened it   They wouldnt have known who it was for either so I got very lucky. But I still laugh at some little old lady opening up an M4.

This could be a case for Mulder and Scully 👾 

Just put some new ZCI Advanced 18:1 gears in it. Shim heights are correct as well as motor. Sounds a bit loud still. But should do for now. 

 

For best results watch through speakers or headphones. Phone speakers make it sound much worse!

 

 

 

Hmm. I may need to hold off then. I cant justify 230 quid right now on something that's not a bullpup 100 quid for the JG AMD-65 is really tempting mind! I believe that its mostly steel apart from the bits that matter! (The stock)

i'm looking at one of these atm: https://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric/ak-carbine-at-ak04-arcturus same factory as E&L. though, i'll be changing out the gearbox because their ones don't allow the fitment of a gate titan

Don't get a Trevor. Buy a PDR-C from me so I can buy @Davegolfs KWA vector 😎

I bought two, how about £15 for both?

Sounds good mate. Are you at the mall Saturday for the AFUK game?

Yep, I'll bring them Saturday

@Steveocee Jakub at Perun has sorted me out. Sending me a replacement after showing him a few photographs. He and the others at Perun seem quite disturbed as to what happened as they haven't seen it happen before with the ETU!

I was already a big fan of Perun before. (I am credited with turning Luke at Negative onto them when I sent in my XM8 with one to fit). But even more so now! 

 

 

i was same bud jakubs a top bloke there customer service is unreal!

respect to jakub and perun, always happy to help me whenever I have any issues.

Just be thankful that it wasn't destroyed and I didn't have to deploy:

 

Liek dis if u cry evrytiem 😢

If you dont copy and paste this message 100 children will die and Jesus will depart the earth. Retweet now or you dont love your family!!

 

Seriously though, good news. This is why I try to order from the UK as much as possible, and dont sell abroad on ebay (been stung on that too)!

yeah, something like that, never really counted but they hold a decent amount for their size.

I doubt i'd have the cash, but hit me up if you decide to sell them

will bear that in mind, gonna keep them till i'm sure these new ones are good then might move them on.

problem with that is i'd need my phone on me, and my phone is in the car

Has it been near anything magnetic?

you gave it a good shot mate, feeding issues get us all at some point 

@Zarrin they all have new tappet springs as none of them have had more then 1 skirmish!

 

@ak2m4 think I'll need to order more stuff. Might as well if someone who knows what they are doing are taking these in 🙂

I was reading a post on another forum regarding a feeding issue , couldn’t remember exactly what tupe

of gb but someone commented that it could be the lips on the mags , He also suffered from the same problem and after doing some tweaking got it working , I’m not saying it is this but it was his thinking outside the gear box that fixed it ,...pun intended  

I had one ages ago, and yes, this was the typical fps on it.

I have seen other posts in the past also mentioning the fps being lower than others.

The one I had used to do 370 on a single 0.2 but 250 when you had 3 in.

ah yeah...im sort of thinking back and im sure it had a "below 1 Joule" sticker on it. Maybe you have got one of them?

Well, since you went there, Sterling has been over-valued for decades.

Here's our 10 year balance of trade.  Note that in February this year it was over £7 billion, just in one month - the wrong way.

 

That reflects money leaving our economy, and ultimately it only comes back in when DeM MusLaMiCs (or the Russians and Chinese) purchase up our infrastructure for rent-seeking purposes, which just leads to even more money flowing out.

 

Those of us who work in exports (you're welcome) would like to see Sterling come down a fair bit yet to make us more competitive in a global consumer market that values low price over high quality.

 

It doesn't have to be that way: historically we've had period of trade surplus.

 

I'm sorry if the long overdue correction to Sterling makes toy gun purchases or booze cruises in Shagaluf more expensive, but it's an inevitable result of living in a high cost, high tax economy with an inflated currency.

 

Also, send 'em all back, mine the channel, mandatory gammon three meals a day, and so on.

@Rogerborg I am aware of that. Interest rates have been artificially low for a very long time to try and increase growth, but it's just not effective anymore and we are trapped as an economy. 

 

In terms of buying a toy gun, this is still a good time to buy... so we'll see. 

Wasn’t my intention. I’m not that sort of person. 

 

But if your firing enough for the hi cap not to keep up, you must be doing a lot of full auto.

Or the ICS High cap mag is generally known for its weak springs

what M4 was it?

 

tbh, ive never had issues with the fuses on mine, they have always seemed fine in my AEGs

 

on ICS hi-caps, my brother uses them all the time, never had any issues but tbh where we play its mainly semi for the majority of the time anyway so not overly used, and on ICS AEGS

Hey, more to annoy at your local field if you're one of those people.
Just hope to god they dont ask you about your setup.
Funnily enough i've had about 5 kids ask me if i can "put a polarstar in that" in like.. the last week. (It's only Tuesday.. 😕)

Think they've been watching too much American airsoft @zwez 🤣

@strykerles "DSG JUSTICE!! LETS GO!! NO FULL AUTO IN THE BUILDINGS MAN, HEY, HE BURNED MY PATCH!!! HOW DO I TECH?? DO YOU EVEN SPEEDQB BRO?? 😈😈"

God save us

Foam filled "suppressors" do reduce the sound. The air that comes out makes a noise and masking that helps a bit. If you fire your empty gun with and without holding your finger over the barrel, i'm sure you'll be able to tell.

oil filter is supposed to work on actual firearms

so on that basis if anything is REALLY going to work

it will be one of those bastards

(google oil filter suppressor)

 

most suppressors just change or slightly dampen the sound

they are like farts, some are more quiet than others

 

and love is like a fart...

if you try to force it too much - it will probably be shit

 

you could a piston brake or silicone pad over sorbo can lower the piston slap...

https://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/43-longrange-aegs/9062-guide-cylinder-head-damper-remold-bye-bye-sorbo.html

 

 often wondered about all those baffles/padding etc...

but it must work of a sort coz going the other way...

 

Don't buy a daft sound hog or FireHawk tip to become a loud annoying player on the field...

Just cover/tape up a M4/M16 flash hider to make a massive CRACK for no costs at all

So in theory going the other way some sort of "venting" or "slots" as well as the dampening material inside should perhaps dissipate the dulled sound ???

 

NB: this is just a theory based upon the M4 CRACK you get if you cover the flash hider

(try it - really makes a loud crack)

So if an enclosed hider amplifies then maybe - just maybe a vented sponge might just might be a little more effective too perhaps

Dunno - but I did wonder about all this crap coz most of it just changes the sound of the air, yet most of us still have grindy AEG's making the most sound

 

The padding deffo does "something" though

if you unscrew one them cw/ccw suppressors, pull out the spring/padding

it makes a friggin' amplified CRACK too...

just wondered if a cheapo slotted or swiss cheesed one would maybe be more effective ???

 

ignore almost all of this coz I'm just talking crap coz I'm bored atm

You want to dampen the sound?

Unless you have an airbrake I suggest to glue/pressure fit a rubber door stop onto the cylinder head, so that it dampens the impact of the piston head. An alternative would be to use a big fat o-ring in place of the door stop.

 

Did it on my Striker and it killed the sound so much I can easily run without a suppressor and still be quiet as hell.

 

On a suppressor there are a few things you can do.

Scotchbrite disks in place of foam and plastic/rubber baffles.

A fart flap helps a lot in lowering the sound but it needs to be done right otherwise it'll just throw your shots way off.

 

Also, something that most 'softers don't care about is a correct volume ratio for the bb weight.

Yeah but it is a G&G etu so it's shite.

 

But then it's a G&G so at least the rest of the gun will match.

Aug....

A nice cheap A1 with a full barrel that you can drop onto the TM HC.

Failing that I'd go for the TM M93r

Just bought the SVU without the CYMA AEP. I am going to see if I can stretch to the TM. 

 

The SVU is a solid as hell platform and now my first Russian gun!

Adolf speaks the truth, I love my SMERSH and use it for everything.  I also really rate my  SSOJaeger chest rig.  

 

A gorka, with a SMERSH is pretty much all you need.

@Prisce thats a weird reason to ban someone and a little bit stalkerish if they follow what groups people are in on facebook? It does look small but loads of people say you have to go once to make your own mind up, seems to always have a pretty decent attendance.

Well my team mate rang the owner and asked if he was included in the ban(he had his Ukara registered to DL) and the owner just said Anyone associated with said person is banned, including you and he put the phone down. 

 

You have met the Team mate in question by the way, and you’d agree he isn’t the sort to be trouble. It was just incredibly childish of the site owner.

 

 

On another note for the site, we did play some good games there, but the clientele weren’t very happy when we played the games to the rules and out smarted them.

Well.... That's a shitter. Not really how I personally would conduct a site but hey, their site, their rules. A blanket ban judged off of a perception of one player seems a bit much though. I'd book on under a different name and e-mail address 🤣

 

I've been to a few sites where the attitude changes from the regulars when the "away" team starts whipping them.

  

Screw you guys! Weather looks marginally better 😉

Enjoy

@Asmodai, less defense more the Germans get a huuuuge sad on about full auto at above .5 joules. Why some minor functionary may have decided to open your package is beyond me. That's the only thing I can think of out of hand tho I may be completely wrong. 
 

Where did the guns you ordered from San Marino pass through @Asomodai? Germany or France?

@Skara not sure about zmfrom Italy.  But the guns bought from gunfire were sent via GLS from Poland through Germany. Only difference this time is from the Czech Republic through Germany. 

FPS is important though guys. If you have the exact same setup but one gun has a higher fps, the amount of energy the bb retains in the higher fps gun increases and so the bb will travel further. People get confused between the relationship though. The only reason you should be using a higher fps is to effectively use heavier weight ammo to retain more energy for longer. 

 

Prommy barrels aren't magic on their own but the tolerances the barrels are produced with are very consistent + the material is better than stock barrels.

 

Flat hops work very well because it allows heavier ammo to be hopped much more effectively by increasing the surface area contact with the bb. Unfortunately, the only way to see these benefits is to in fact use the heaviest weight ammo you can. 

 

It's not so much that fps is important on its own, but it helps everything else take more effect.

Should have really clarified... FPS means nothing unless your hop is decent and is married up with a decent nub and rubber. Yes FPS is key but unless you get the first part right you could be shooting 450 but not able to get your ammo more than 30m

Imagine what your TM could do it if it were shooting at 1J rather than 0.58J.

 

Imagine what your mate's EVO could do it it had been upgraded properly.

and also that newtons is a measure of force not pressure?

@Adolf Hamsterpfft. Physics.
