Why on earth would you think that it's wor... "Fully upgraded by KOA " Ohhh. Translated: "All the diamond encrusted stuff that neither the guy who paid for it, nor I who traded for it, ever once actually liked enough to use: that must be worth at least that that much to you as well. Beg me to sell it to you, peasant. On your mud encrusted knees."

It can be the difference between glasses steaming up or not for us sweaty paedo types. S A F E G U A R D I N G. Besides, I can assure you that I'm hirpling slower than Johnny Speedsocks can sprint back, tap the tree of spawning, and then get back into action. Do you believe in equality of outcome, or are you literally worse than Hitler?

Not so great if it encourage rentals or regulars to pick up bad habits. I only tend to do it if I'm alone, or with sensible folk who are doing similar and understand why it's basic fair play to give the other team the full benefit of their kills. Another of my list of stuff that very nearly works for me without having to hit the fan. For anyone baulking at the price, a small pot will last longer than any airsoft gun you're likely to own - you use just a tiny smear each time.
-
To be (grudgingly) fair, it is a significant factor, if you're talking very CQ. And depending on how, uh, "mental" the "reponce" is. But yes, over-sold and over-priced. If it's that "perfect", why's he selling it?
-
I'd say that's fair play, as it works out exactly the same for the other team either way. I do it myself at times, always being careful to take at least as long as I'd have taken to slow-walk right to the respawn. However, I do like to set an example by going all the way there, especially if there are any sprint-back-10-paces-then-rejoin jockeys around. Wow, good job. You look like you should be on the set of the Walking Dead. Or half of you, anyway.

I think it makes me sad. "Ghk mk18 never skirmished and around 7 bbs shot for a slow motion video and put back in its box" I reckon that cost him just shy of £16 per trigger pull. I'm sure we all understand the urge to buy stuff just to have stuff, but economically speaking, this is like buying a G&G CM16 then just throwing it straight in the bin.

Phew, lucky guess. It's going in a JG G36, and I'm not fussed about ROF so much as semi-auto response and being able to reliably pull the piston past a lock-up: I've had a couple of lock ups where the spring was almost fully compressed and the stock mortor just wouldn't pull it that final tooth.
And yup on the diode, I already have an SB260 in all my mortors will be swapping it over.

keep the JG motor (O-type pinion)
and if/when the 140 arm gives out
swap it all over & use the JG arm
which they say is a 22tpa
certainly has a little bit more performance
than std Cyma/G&G stock motors
it was just the weak ferrite magnets holding it back on lock up
when you just don't have the raw grunt the motor stalls
and fuses blow or there is a really BIG spark at switch contacts
when the switch re-opens
The spark or arcing isn't from the motor starting but flyback inductive energy when you release/open switch
on a stalled motor this spark really increases when switch opens
(on std non-mosfet setup or on mosfet this flyback can kill certain uprotected mosfets)
the schottky diodes snub the inductive spikes
but they nick 0.5v schottky to up to 1v for other diodes
so there is a trade off for circuit protection it seems
fucking annoying a little bit more thought isn't used in these peew peew's - but just slapped together and shipped out the door with no consideration at all.
in the geeky electronics world they would be mortified at running motors without a snubber diode & often they would lean to a capacitor & resistor method to quench the spark
I glanced at some of it & just thought it is way way too geeky for me
nah fuck it I'll just use the ICS method at some motors or splice it in on the motor wires on SHS/G&G types as close to motor as possible & leave it at that
Good choice as i said - best of the 3 BD motaaaaa's imho

That's worth £20, I reckon.
[Edit]
"there is a really BIG spark at switch contacts when the switch re-opens"
Yup, I just had to clean up the contacts after what can't be more than 5,000 rounds, thus adding the diode.

Wants the buyer to work out what they are as well: "The PayPal service fees are not include, please pay an extra fees when you are making payment via PayPal." But "free" (i.e. included) shipping? Alternatively, pick up in Central Manchester, or apparently from a remote wind-swept hillside in Dumfries & Galloway, according to the map location given. Lazy is never a good look when you're asking someone to part with £580 (plus secret fees) on trust.
-
That's a shame. I wonder what they'd say though if one of the marshals or owner's mates turned up with one. Might be fun to take it along just to show them. I'd offer to be shot with it. Likewise with Chinesium lasers or anything else that you want to claim / show is safe: crash test that stuff yourself.

The number of days given by the seller, which they are free to set at any number they like. The delivery company is of no contractual relevance to the purchaser. I prefer the bad news to come to the seller via a notification that they will be charged back if they don't resolve the situation. Just to end any argument about who's responsible for what before it even begins, because I am so done with having that "You need to chase them up, mate" or "Give it a few more days" flannel rubbed on me. This sounds very pugnacious, but consider the situation: the buyer has paid money up front and received nothing but a promise which has been broken. We've come to accept this as par for the course, but it doesn't have to be that way with the many tools at our disposal these days to hold sellers to their promise. Remember, if it doesn't get resolved, they can claim compensation from their courier. We can't.

Propane rather than CO2? Do they even chrono those? Might have been better not asking. I mean, what are the chance of you being spotted using it by someone who knows that it's not 6mm, and cares? And what would the consequences be if it's under the Joule limit? The legal definition of airsoft guns goes up to 8mm. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2017/3/part/6/crossheading/firearms/enacted The only practical consideration I can think of is old, brittle ammo shattering.
-
Yes you can, because until it's in the customer's hands, it's entirely the seller/sender's responsibility. My policy now is to not even bother arguing the toss with sellers or their chosen couriers: I just initiate some sort of chargeback (eBay / PayPal / debt/credit card) the day after it's failed to arrive. The quicker you do it, the quicker you get your money back. You can always halt the process if it shows up. Worst case, it's better for you to have your money and the goods than neither of them.

Oh, right, sorry, I thought it was the tinted lens, but I see the dings now.

Folk desperate for something to do after / between rona lockdowns, I'd guess. POW and Section 8 are both rammed full and selling out weeks in advance at the moment. Oh, hang on. See this mask? It looks like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Paintball-Protection-Resistant-Activities-Black-Clear/dp/B08JCPMTSR "Notes: The PC lenses can withstand 310 FPS within 5 meters of the bbs shooting" Nice of them to say so. I'd be wanting to test shoot that and see.

Finally, the Imperial Guard get the recognition that we've always deserved!

Long suffering, but she knew what she was getting into.

Sadly there's no way to comment on the actual begging page at https://gogetfunding.com/airsoft-aeg/ Although you can message the grifter from there, if you register with the site. To wish him luck, no doubt.
-
Why? He's suffered no particular ills. There's nothing noble about living beyond your means, or grifting.

Played in woodland yesterday, had an OK time, but it mostly reminded me of why I prefer CQB.
Once you've lain in one flooded mossy ditch, you've laid in them all.

That's a fair point, I enjoyed sneaky when I was sniping, but this site has a weird rule about playing twice before you're trusted with a 485fps / 2.2J (double weird) sniper. Not that they're enforcing it in practice, I suspect.
When you're out with a random AEG and all of the games are variants of "rush an objective" on a busy site, it's pretty much the start of Saving Private Ryan over and over again.
-
Yeah, when I'm out with an AEG, I still play like a sniper (sometimes even with the ghillie on too), because I don't like rushing objectives when you know at least three enemy players will be sitting in a bush ready to light you up. People are often amazed when I use less than 1000 BBs in a day while out with an AEG, but that's just my play style and it's what I enjoy.
I think woodland is great if you have people with you, because you can do squad tactics and really dominate the game, however without coordination (which, let's be honest, skirmish airsofters aren't going to coordinate), woodland is... I don't want to say it's bad, but I think I'd prefer CQB if I wanted to play a faster, more rush-like style. Attacking objectives in woodland requires a lot of repeated aggression, or some sort of sneaky super-flank where one guy takes out half the enemy team (which feels amazing in fairness).
-
I treat woodland a lot like cqb though. I find coming from a cqb background you have a few skills woodland players do not have, it was always evident when a woodland squad rocked up at the mall for instance.
I still rush, push forward and play a sneaky style in woodland much like I did at cqb. It doesnt always work granted, but players can be surprised by a lone guy rushing forward when they were not expecting it.

2 many uther projekts m8

Well, tbf, m8, they're an easy fix, but tbh, m8, I just don't have the time. New rubber bands?

Spends £1,136 (plus the rest). "The gun has never been used in game but a few shots have been fired down a range". At a £686 loss, I'd wonder how much each of those BBs cost to shoot. I guess it is a bargain if you want all of those exact parts and are prepared to make them actually work together. Honestly, these adverts just make me sad. Comes with 7 mags and 3 batteries, but has never been used for its intended purpose. Somebody save it!

Fun day with my nephew, if somewhat technically gruelling. One AEG was misfeeding and DOA, one packed in during the day, so he ended up with the venerable CYMA M4 (still going strong) and pistol and I was down to a pump action shotgun. He also lost a pistol mag and dropped another and broke the feed lips, but stuff happens. Hopefully a bit less of a gear grinder next weekend.
-
Expensive day's airsofting at Biohazard today with my nephew: he lost one Glockazine, and dropped another and cracked the feed lips. Ah well, fun was had and nothing lasts forever except WuFlu restrictions.
-
That looks absolutely awful. So, well done.
