What obscure information did you find to make you want an Inokatsu??? You're unlikely to find one, even less likely to find extra mags and even less likely to find spares... Read a bit of the forum for views on first toys to get ?

It will of course depend on the circumstances of the case so any ruling will not be definitive.

Welcome Yao Check here for sites near you. https://playairsoft.uk/map You will meet people at the site. Some will want to chat and some not. Just have fun...

If you got a battery that's too big then you just have to return/sell it and get one that does. More research needed before purchasing ? Note: 11.1v is not recommended for most AEGs unless specified by the manufacturer so check that.

Yeah she was pretty hot ?

It was great at the time. First series to seriously use CG model effects VideoToaster gave us Lightwave ? I recently watched a bit of Blake7 for the first time in about 35 years. Wow, its so ropey now ? I prefer Space 1999 ?

When you're under fire a weapon malfunction is definitely not fun... ?

It may be coincidence but this is the only site where I've been hit (in the eyebrow above my eyepro) that actually drew blood. It was a 10m shot from a pistol (probably Co2) Pistols don't generally get tested at sites I know but Co2 ones are not allowed.

I'm not a peasant I'm a serf ? Wow, this thread has definitively come off the rails and into a ravine.

The answer is out there... ....waaaaaay out there ?

Rant overflow?

Depends on their max burst current output I think. Might get more info here

These statements shows you're clearly missing some crucial physics knowledge to understand the difference between BBs with Magnus effect versus an axial spinning projectile.

Yes, as long as you are at an official airsoft site or your own private land. The rifle must not be seen by the public.

Personally I don't think BFGs or pyro should be louder than a 209 primer. Definitely not indoors. There's no need to go louder than that as everyone in the 'kill' zone will definitely hear it. Blank firing guns at airsoft events may add to immersion for milsim games but not necessary for general game days. I think UK has more noise restrictions than the US sites. I'm sure there would be resident complaints if sites had constant semi and auto blank fire.

Yeah, I already know that (shocker) I'm talking on Earth... ...and its funny that the same isn't true for airsoft BBs because of the magnus effect. With the power of a sniper rifle its interesting that the bullet still drops at the same speed.

Here's an interesting gun fact which still intrigues me. If you fire a canon, rifle or pistol perfectly horizontally over a flat surface and drop an equal projectile at the same moment, they will both hit the ground at the same time. ?

You don't necessarily have to get a plastic rifle as the first. There are many sub £200 metal ones that perform perfectly well for starting out. CYMA, JG and SpecnaArms are well regarded in the bang-for-buck ratio.

Airsoft BBs use the magnus effect to fly straight so the backspin influences the distance a BB can fly. Unlike a real bullet, the higher speed of an airsoft fired BB does not necessarily equal longer range. The speed and weight must be perfectly matched to its backspin.

I don't even know what we're discussing anymore... ?

Welcome Carl (you youngster) All those in your list are good but are you sure you want to sink that kind of money into the hobby straight away? As Roger said, there are quite a few people selling their purchases for various reasons soon after getting them. Do a search for 'best starter gun' and read some of the previous posts on the subject. You can get a decent shooting gun for under £200 and although it won't have recoil or last round hold you'll get some good experience and better able to decide what to buy next. Plus its always good to keep your first gun as a backup. EDIT: Buying second hand may not be a good choice without a bit more experience. If you get something that isn't performing well or has a problem you won't know about it or be able to fix it immediately. Better to get something that has a known performance and with more experience you'll know what looks or sounds suspicious in a sale. We always advise to rent for your first 3 games so you can be registered with UKARA and it will give you some experience and influence your future choice of weapon... Having a UKARA number also allows you to buy a realistic looking gun.

Yeah, I think everything got confused by referring to the video as an example of lower velocity = more energy into target which ONLY applies to hollow point spin stabilized projectiles. Saying that lower energy = lower velocity or heavier projectile = lower velocity is just following the formula so not in contention. Are we all happy? ?

Its a bit more complicated than that with airsoft BBs. Look up 'Joule Creep' but... Yes, a heavier BB will go slower and possibly further because its less affected by wind but that's nothing to do with what the video is showing.

I've had a few of mine (cheaper makes) for about 4 years with no degradation except a layer of dust. I doubt they'll deform unless in a poor environment like a garage or loft where they're exposed to extreme temperatures in summer & winter. Those in your list will be made of the higher end metal so I doubt you'll have any problems. Airsoft replicas will not look like blued steel if you want that effect (eg for an AK) but going by your list they would be painted/cerakoted anyway so should look 99.9% authentic. If the airsoft version is cheaper than a deac then go for it.

I believe what the video shows is the guy finding the best energy/speed for the hollow point to open fully to its maximum without over deforming. The higher speed/energy caused the bullet to deform too much (hollow point folding over itself or tearing the rim off completely) resulting in a smaller cross sectional area therefore higher penetration. Again, this has no relevance to BBs
