  1. Or was it more what you'd call a suspension until he'd begged / bribed / browbeaten them into letting him back? I hope not, there should be consequences for showcasing egregious dickery.
  2. Hmm, now I'm fascinated to see how the air seal and feed mechanism would work.
  3. The truth bomb that just got me kicked off a Warhammer 40K group when offered in response to yet another tiresome horny-teen post.

     

    Clearly too close to the admins for comfort. 😆

      Funny, but also sad that that group has no sense of humour.

      The Emperor is protecting me from seeing the same tiresome childish incel smut being posted eleventeen times for every time it's reposted on Reddit.  I won't miss it, I suspect.

  4. Although L85s seem to come pre-loaded with a fair number of issues (making them historically accurate). Fair point though, get whatever gives you a tingle, they're much the same internally. +1 for CYMA, they're cheap because they make so many of them, not because they're badly made. The cheapest ones have toyish plastic, and basic internals, but they're robust enough and you're very unlikely to go far wrong with with a CYMA AK.
  5. Things I didn't know existed but now desperately need. BAM, Ali Expressed. Good shout on the radiusing as well.
  6. BUMP for completeness, I've since replaced this with about 1 1/8th turn of a coil spring on the RHS. I think it was from the inside of a suppressor rather than an AEG spring. This does a much better job of pulling the LHS selector tight against the receiver and keeping the nub engaged in the detents. You could use a piece of wire or perhaps a washer or a larger rubber o-ring than shown above, the full diameter of the circular part of the selector.
  7. Hmm, the triggers are pretty mushy, but the bar does need to be pushed down in order for it to engage the trigger. I'd definitely want to replace that spring. Ah, I did take a (bad) picture of it. The stock one is slightly conical, larger at the bottom where it pushes on the bar, but anything that fits might help.
  8. Indeed, but as a first gun, which will likely become a backup or loaner, they make sense. Cheap, plentiful, easiest to find spares and upgrade parts for, and fairly easy to sell on when you make the mistake of buying before playing and then realise that airsoft isn't for you. Although, all that said...
  9. I heard all sorts about him being banned left, right and centre, but he still seems to have no problem finding filming locations for his fictional dramas.
  10. To the massive nascent market for niche toys in a niche hobby?
  11. It's actually surprising that prices haven't jumped faster and higher than they have. Retailers are missing a trick, fortunately for us.
  12. No need to over think it. You already have a rotary hop, so just drop in a Maple Leaf rubber and you should be able to lift any BB that you can afford. 70 or 60 degree, I wouldn't go harder. Softer will wear faster, but changing hop rubbers is cheap and quick compared to just about anything else in airsoft. Buy a heavier spring or springs, depending on your site's energy limits. It's not an exact science, don't expect 140m / 459fps on a 0.2g out of an M140 spring, and be prepared to clip off a coil at a time and heat and flatten the end in order to tune the power. Get a chrono, and understand whether you need to tune for Joules at the BB weight that you're using (good site), or for fps on 0.2g (bad site). You can use an outer barrel extension rather than a silencer to hide a longer barrel, e.g. https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/external-parts/outer-barrels But bear in mind that barrel quality beats barrel length. I'm running an AOLS 455m, which to be honest is far longer than you need, it was just about willy waggling. AOLS or ZCI are fine at the cheap end. Internals, eh, leave 'em alone. Maybe a full cylinder if you need it, and a full steel rack on the piston - although stock CYMAs shoot at up to 1.5J using a plastic rack, there's no need to change it until and unless it strips. If your motor struggles, I'd replace that rather than fiddling with the gears. I like the Big Dragon M140 or M160 motors from Ali Express, you might as well buy honestly Chinese branded Chinese motors (or "mortors" as they say on the packaging ). Locking to semi is just a case of cutting a bit off the selector plate. I'd suggest buying a spare one for that and keeping the stock one safely aside in case you want to go back to full auto. Heaviest BBs that you can lift and afford, and don't expect instant magic from it, you'll have to tune and tweak it. One handy thing about having a longer inner barrel hidden inside a suppressor or extension is that you can remove the outer and rotate the inner if you have consistent curve to one side from the barrel being slightly rotated.
  13. Sure, it would be interesting to see what you've come up with. It's not that insane an idea, you're just using a leaf rather than a coil spring to shove a piston down a cylinder, and let's be honest, we're all playing with toys. If it's draw-and-release rather than drawing to cock a latched spring, then consistency might be an issue, and CQB sites in particular might want to take a hard look about what it's really capable of, as opposed to how long a pull you use for chrono.
  14. Damn, that's swole. Are you now, or have you ever been, an 8mm freak?
  15. It particularly gets my goat because there will be folk out there with pistols shooting at over 1.3J, quite likely unchronoed, with nobody batting an eyelid about MED or ROF. Sites should be educating players that appearance and barrel length means very little in airsoft, not surrendering to the fantasy.
  16. Beats me, with their track record (company and users) it could very well be either. Surely you'd Glock-block it after the first hilarious incident, but I guess some people prefer to be shocked and offended.
  17. That is quite possibly the dumbest, laziest, wrongest thing I've heard of a site doing, and it's up against some quite stiff competition.
  18. As promised, shouting out that PatrolBase have short VN style mags in stock again.

     

    In tan.

     

    And actually, mag, singular. They have one (1) in stock. 🙄

     

    I'll pass, if anyone else wants to bag it.

  19. He'd be in less trouble if he'd dick-picced them, I expect. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9823505/United-flight-evacuated-teen-sends-picture-airsoft-gun-using-AirDrop.html
  20. Well, that's a giant bag of dicks, and no mistake. What an appalling attitude. What site should we be avoiding?
  21. I'm having my butler order the under-footman to look up this "The Jungle" in Fortesque's Almanac of Significant Happenings.
