EDcase

Yeah, 250mm is already quite short and you've halved it to nearly pistol length. There just isn't time for the air pressure to accelerate the BB before its out so you have to increase the pressure with a heavier spring. Heavier spring will of course put more strain on gearbox parts...

Yeah Gregor Fisher 👍 Loved those ads

Got hit quite close range on the eyebrow between hat and eyepro. May have been a hot gun because it drew blood which dripped down into my eye. Didn't leave a cool scar tho 🤨😄

Doh!!! 😖

So the title of the thread is wrong...? Its not a GBBR but EBB

Update in case you haven't seen: Its now available in HK https://www.octagonairsoft.com/product-page/s-t-lee-enfield-no-1-mkiii-air-cocking-real-wood-rifle But for that price I don't think I'll be getting one 😔

Add it to the list with the Browning Hi-Powers 🤔

Yep, but to complicate matters, its not good to leave batteries fully charged for long periods either. Intelligent chargers can be set to 'Storage charge' which is 70%

Two of the same spec should last a whole day. You could try and find a higher mAh that will fit. Having said that, THIS should last all day by itself. (Check physical size) Still cheaper to get two smaller batteries like THIS and you have some redundancy.

Yeah I meant for optimal charging to prolong the life of the battery. They can be charged at a higher rate but since you're normally preparing things a day in advance I would always go gentle on the batteries.

Yeah, if they haven't been charged in over a year they're probably dead. There is a possibility to revive them with a NiMh/NiCd charger but must be done carefully to avoid a fire and they may never get to 100% so probably best to get new ones. The charger looks OK but if you want the batteries to last as long as possible it may be worth investing in an intelligent charger. (Do a search for the thread talking about chargers) Hopefully someone can confirm but I think the 'A' setting should be on 1A for batteries below 2000mAh

Hi and welcome Murray Those look like decent capacity batteries. What charger have you got? Its better to have two batteries and swap at lunch rather than use one until its completely flat. If not using a battery for several weeks its best to select 'Storage charge' after the game day (if you have an intelligent charger) I would advise to stick with 7.4v and as high mAh as will physically fit in the space. 11.1v will work, and be very snappy, but puts much higher strain on all the components in the gearbox so likely cause a failure more quickly.

Duno that make and for that price I'd say no. Its OK to get second hand but known makes, mentioned above, and you need to know what to look for in case they've been damaged.

Sorry, can't help. Those are far out of my comfort zone to spend on toys. CYMA, JG, SpecnaArms etc. are the go-to for best price/performance ratio.

What misconceptions ???? 🤨

Salut Might help if you actually said what you need 😉 Make a post here: https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/category/18-parts-gear-wanted/

What else do we have to talk/moan about? 😏

What he said 👆

Yep, another reason why dicks are dirty fukers 😆

Yeah its not anything against HPA itself but unfortunately dicks love HPA because its easier to get to that level of cnutness

I think that's a good deal. Any more info on the shop so we can check its OK? 2x hi-caps (High Capacity) should be enough. Each holds around 350 BBs and he can fill them between games. He shouldn't get used to auto spraying all the time and use single shot as much as possible. Get him one bottle of 3300 0.2g BBs. That should last more than a day. Search for 'Assault vest' Here are a few examples: 1 2 3

Well its dead... Got the 11.1, fired a few semi, very cool Fired a burst on auto, wow awesome Next trigger pull, nothing but whirring motor. 😖 Stripped teeth somewhere... Bespoke collecting on Monday. We'll see what they say... 😥

Yeah small local is good I think. As long as they are well run. Problem is that smaller sites will have fewer marshals and probably be rather bendy with the rules etc

Nice 👍 ....but.... That box is the size of two gunz...? 😉

Its for looks only. Some people are really into dressing up in the proper looking gear but you obviously don't need armour for airsoft and can actually be a pain because they don't feel hits properly. Also it tends to be bulky so movement can be restricted. You do need some kind of webbing to hold magazines and other bits.
