cylinder head to air nozzle (always bad with those plastic ones!)
A smear of silicon grease can do wonders there.

1.3J from an M100 and a stock (but stretched-and-greased) CYMA gearbox and nozzle. Yes, quivering on the edge of a Section 5. The difference between nearly sealed and really sealed is remarkable.

In Airsoft you don't usually need high C, low internal resistance batteries.
Need, maybe not, but I'd always choose higher C (and higher capacity) over lower.
Although with the caveat that anyone can claim anything, and very rarely have it tested.
Hmm, I might suggest airsoft batteries to to ProjectFarm... 🤔

The itemised bill lists the two-tone fee - am I paying a discount on that?
How long have the bio BBs been hanging about for and in what conditions?
The cheapest, toyish plastic CYMA + a bunch of free gifts.
Might as well be titled "Buyer's Regret Starter Pack".

Ahoy and welcome. As above, it's either the cut-off switch not cutting off, or the trigger contacts being too close. In either case, it's a case of taking the gearbox apart to find out. This is quite time consuming and intimidating the first time you do it, but there's nothing particularly hard about it, and there are loads of decent disassembly videos on YouTube that can help.

Some sites have a rule that fet only locking is not allowed. Stops you fucking about with it in game I expect.
The counterpoint being that filing a bit off of the fire selector does nothing to prevent trigger spam. I honestly don't think there is a way to keep them honest in-game.

When I get home I'll measure what a gas fill wieghs on one of my mags.
Do we know what 300ml of propane/butane mix plus propellant weighs?
-
Ahoy and welcome.
Loads, is the short answer. It'll depend on temperature and such, but even with moderate CQG pistol use, I buy new gas cans (I use ASG ULTRAIR Power Green Gas 520ml) so infrequently that I couldn't even guesstimate a cost-per-mag.
Gas pistols aren't free to run, but they're so cheap compared to other airsoft costs that it's just not a consideration.

Ahoy and welcome.
No, not personally. I assume that's the LayLax automatic BB loader.
UK prices seem to range from £50 (if they had any) into the £60s (if they had any).
There's shill review here which shows it working out of the box, but it's not that fast and clearly struggles to half-fill and EPM1. The comments aren't very complimentary.
Nice that it comes with multiple adaptors, but I'd stick to an Odin or clone, given that replacing Odin internals costs a fraction of throwing one of these away when it breaks. Also, Odins and clones are available, but it seems nobody has bothered re-stocking these.

I was going to say that if you're playing CQB, you can run a GBB pistol primary effectively, and if you get the right one, you can dress it up in any carbine kit you like.
However, Apocalypse is a hundred acre woodland site, so I'd definitely go AEG there.
And of course rent first and try airsoft out a few times before buying anything (except footwear and maybe eyepro).
I suspect that OP may be listing what he wants, rather than what he has.

That's a little bit of a Frankengun with the Olde Worlde front post, but a new fangled RIS handguard. That's handguard doesn't really add extra value for a purchaser unless you can find one that's after that specific combination. And grips, suppressors and mags are more what you'd call free gifts or sweeteners.
I reckon that's a Delta Armory DA-A02-ETU ALPHA, so £250 new, so maybe £175 used for the base gun. £200 isn't an unreasonable ask - and you might get it at this time of year - but unspecified "upgrades" would actually put me off. I wouldn't even mention that, just what it's chronoing at, if you know.
Expect plenty of lowball offers, and "Swap for... ?" asks.

you will find the system with the longer barrel will be more accurate and more consistent than the one with a shorter barrel
Should be.
But given the QC of airsoft, you could also find that you've bought 4" of extra wonkiness at end of what might have been the perfect barrel if the cut had fallen in a different spot.

I didn’t stipulate it was or wasn’t, I said it was a private seller. I don’t get the point you’re trying to make?
That there's a subtle difference between using your debit card to pay an invoice (where the chargeback scheme applies), versus making a direct bank transfer payment (where you're generally on your own).
This isn't victimblaming, just pointing out that the difference will matter to your bank. I'd also agree that you've complicated things by punting it on. I'd be very surprised if your your bank is able to reverse that payment - I'd actually be a little concerned, as it would seem to be a scammer's charter for rogue purchasers if both banks are prepared to simply take your word for it.

Wow. This is like anti-advertising. Antvertising? Horribly fascinating though. Now I'm wondering if there's actually a niche for so-bad-it's-effective Idiocracy style marketing.

The Perun ETU++ has a DMR feature that set a minimum time between shots.
My AB++ has it as well, and I should really turn it on.
Sadly, my local doesn't require it, and you're lucky if you even get checked for semi-lock at chrono. But that's a different, and more general, rant about the uselessness of pre-game chronoing for catching chancers.

Yarp, it's entirely up to your local sites, you'll need to ask them. It's one of the most LARP-ish aspects of airsoft, as functionally, the BB doesn't give a stuff about what it came out of.
Locked-to-semi is both a site issue and a legal issue, as anything capable of auto and over 1.3J is a Section 5 firearm, not an airsoft gun. It's easily enough achieved on most guns just by filing a small amount off the fire selector so that it can't push on the semi-auto cutoff lever.
My local is fine with me running a long barrelled M4 with a scope and solid stock as a DMR.
1 hour ago, Impulse said:It's mostly spamming the trigger though, that's the big no-no when it comes to DMRs
They are indeed super-exploitable, and enforcement is essentially non-existent. With the best will in the world, when you're presented with a juicy target in the open, it's hard to resist the reflex to send two[*] BBs at them in short order.
My other local disallows them entirely, and only allows sub 1.2J auto guns, and bolt actions up to 2.2J, nothing in between. I actually agree with this.

Agreed, and it can go heavy on the film and light on the sim. I really enjoyed a Narcos themed filmsim that I did a few years back. You had a camo-and-ARs Federales side for Sergeant Serious, and a Hawaiian-shirts-and-AKs Cartel side for LARPing larks. But it was a well run two-day event with defined objectives and a scoring system (for those who cared) that added a lot more depth than a regular skirmish. Well worth a try.
