  1. FTFY. L is for Lid. L is for LARP. Cheap tat is best tat.
  2. LARP is the only real reason. Well, maybe CQB if you get whanged in the skull a lot. Well, occasionally I'm in the mood to hide behind hard cover, pop mine on a stick, and waggle it around to get shot. The cries of "Marshal! Take your hits! Maaarshaaaaall!" are worth it.
  3. Whitelisting UK IPs remains my suggestion, since the chances of an Elbonian spam-goblin using a UK proxy seems slim.
  4. My local sites say that if you can't see where it's going to land, don't throw or post it. Knee height is face height if someone is lying down or even just bending over to, say, pick up pyro.
  5. Give it a go, dud grenades are always good for a laugh. This is truth, impacts are essentially for murderising people on the other side of a doorway. They can be used to great effect that way, but a timed grenade has more flexibility because you can bowl it for a considerable distance along a hard floor.
  6. One thing, are the indexing slots for the C-clip on the barrels at the same distance from the rear? Is the barrel and bucking securely seated in the hop unit? There are no real standards in airsoft, and fractions of a mm differences can have radical results on airseal (or feeding).
  7. Nah, I wouldn't bother with an impact in woodland, unless they have lots of solid-floored structures that people need winkled out of. The usual airsoft rule applies: don't send it out in any way that you wouldn't want it coming in.
  8. That looks like a nice job, it's all sensible stuff, and I'm seeing something like £300 in total parts on top of the base, right? The thing is, they're replacing the standard parts that probably slung BBs about 80%-90% as well. Comparing against new, the cheapest Specna EDGE 2.0 with a decent MOSFET are now £260 and up... but the unbranded Double Eagles with FCS are £190. If I were selling it, I'd ask north of £250. If I were buying it, I'd offer south of £200. Other price points and compromises are available.
  9. As with TAG rounds, they'd be the sort of things that I'd expect to be restricted to well managed milsims where all participants are over 18 and have given informed consent to being around them. A typical skirmish day is full of kids and chucklefucks, and nothing capable of crippling the most vulnerable participant (shooting glasses and no earpro) has any business even being on site at all.
  10. Is this a serious question? "185 dB of sound pressure at 1m" That's instant, permanent, hearing damage and tinnitus, plus traumatic brain injury. Wanting to use one "in airsoft games" is a great argument for why you shouldn't be able to get your hands on one. Frankly, I'm not even happy with Mk5 bangs in game, given the foreseeable risk of one going off right next to someone's head. Mk 7 and above have a 20 metre safe distance, for reasons that should be ear-bleedin' obvious.
  11. I mean, if it's sealed inside a pouch, doesn't that effects its ability to draw air in? Just curious, as I run an exposed DIY fan. I guess if the Ex Fogs work, then there must be enough airflow. Especially if you want to see what's inside them...
  12. Random question: if it's in a pouch, where is it drawing the air from?
  13. Then you can cut it out and use it as a 7.4V after a bit of resoldering. I have one like that which works fine.
  14. Does your charger have a storage charge setting? You could plug the mullered ones in and see if it'll balance the cells down to 3.7V or so each. In an ECPD. While filming it for Science.
  15. Me three. I've popped stock fuses (20A? 25A?) with stalled motors, and now upgrade by deleting them and applying electromechanical sympathy. Batteries - particularly NiMh - can look good by producing voltage without being able to supply enough current, so I'd agree with trying another one, i.e. a 7.4V lipo rather than spending more money on last-last-generation technology. The other thing you can try, short of a gearbox stripdown, is shoving a long ball-end Allen key or similar up the nozzle, feel where the piston is, and see if you can get the it moving a bit. I've used that to push a stalled / locked up piston back past the release point. Be aware that it'll then want to come forwards rather assertively.
  16. Then it'll almost certainly be the wrong polarity for airsoft, for reasons that completely escape me. There are some pictures here, and a suggestion on how to rewire the connector. Fingers crossed that there's not too much damage, but magic smoke escaping from electronics is rarely a good sign.
  17. Yeah, Bullseye is peculiar like that. I like them as a seller, but always check the total price from their site versus eBay. It is rather peculiar that they're posting out the same part from the same stock for less, via a 3rd party ordering service that takes a further cut and makes it easier for customers to claim the money back. It seems like buying from them direct means that you're effectively paying them to run their own website and stock management service, as well as listing on eBay.
  18. Not dropping a handful of precious shells in the mud / dark corners. The HFC can be reloaded without removing the shells, they're essentially a bit of a gimmick. Bit out of my price range.
  19. My favourite part was where they stole the description straight from ActionHobbies, who are retailing this new for £150 https://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/products/jg-g36c-airsoft-rifle-black/ Trader, dreamer, or scammer?
