Oh, he's already said 2 midcaps. Lol m8 just axs m8

What does the SSG10 not do that you expect any other stock gun would do? I mean, I'm happy with my TAC-41, and SRS owners like theirs too, but I wouldn't claim consistency at a real 90m. That's the stuff of YouTube fiction.

Sorry to see that. The Orion boxes are notorious for it, even though they're radiused from the sweatshop. I'm running a 2021 example as a DMR at 1.4J just to see how long it lasts. I'm sure it's only a matter of time. It's rather perverse that they come fitted with an M120 spring that's likely to wreck them sooner rather than later.

Should be fine.

Given that he's asking the new price for the older, heavier A1 Silverback, I think there's somewhat of a feverish optimism to his adverts.

Invision doesn't seem particularly extensible, but it does have some spam and membership options that might be worth exploring. e.g. Allow registration, but require approval of all posts Flag the account for manual review All taking up moderator time and punishing the innocent, sadly. I don't see an obvious way to limit a new user's post rate or allow user/community moderation to raise their trust level.

But 180m of 5mm sisal is £37. I wonder how many airsofters could tell the difference, either while wearing it, or at 5m.

Is that... is that a net, and some wool?

Ahoy, welcome, and yup, /thread, basically. It's best not to change too many things at once, as then you'll never be sure what's helped, done nothing, or made it worse. Maple Leaf Macaron 60 plus an "omega" style nub is my go-to. I've messed around with flat hops, R-hops and S-hops but why bother when the Maple Leafs do such a good job? This combination, although ak2m4 is off this week and not taking orders: https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/hop-up-buckings-nubs/maple-leaf-macaron-60-nub Opinions will vary and you'll see 50 suggested (especially in colder weather when the rubber will be harder) or 70 (from Johnny Abroadlander where it's scorchio). I've tried both without noticing much of a difference at UK power levels, so now just stick to 60. While you've got the barrel out, give it a through clean through using a rod, cleaning patch and isopropanol or your solvent of choice. You'd be amazed how much oil and grease some barrels ship with, and they can spunk more badness down there over time from whatever's coming out of the cylinder or magazine. That'll help accuracy / consistency. Ultimate range is determined by the muzzle energy, which is a different subject. But if you're getting anything between 1J - 1.13J using 0.28g BBs (or as heavy as your hop can lift and your wallet stand) then you'll be competitive with anyone else. It's rare that those last 2 or 3 metres of range really matter, compared to having correct and consistent hop applied.

I wouldn't use anyone except those two, which is why they have such long waiting lists, which is why I wouldn't use them. It's a self-causing / self-solving problem. If it's for a specific gun it might be best to mention it, as any Sklyar can mess up an M4, but some techs specialise in messing up GBBR or HPA builds.

Usual advice. Take it in cheerfully and see if it's a simple fix. If not, you notionally have a right to a full refund within 6 months, but best of luck wringing that out of an airsoft shop. Fire in with the demand for a refund, then a letter before action, then a small claims / money claim online action, adding to your costs as you go. Don't expect a speedy resolution. If you bought on a credit card and it's over £100, you - again notionally - have a claim against them, which would be worth a try.

Awaits "So, I bought an Ares because you get what you pay for."

Fully "modified"?

Seal-Skinz work, but so do army surplus waterproof socks / liners from eBay. And they come with a name and number pre-written inside, and the faint aroma of yeast and regret.

The fact is that Ares guns just can't handle the raw throbbing power of Ares owners.

Ahoy and welcome back.

Agreed, although I can't suppress the low moaning sounds when I get a sniper headshot.

I'll just echo that I've had no feeding issues with a random mix of ASG, CYMA or Nuprol shells in either an ASG or CYMA spring tri-shots. It seems to be one of the very few things in airsoft that's 'standard' enough to not have issues.

Sadly, it is indeed "worth a try" though. There was a 15 year old lad begging on one of the UK Failbook groups who successfully grifted a bunch of gear from "you can't tell me this is a bad idea!" contrarians. As a thank you, he started posting pictures of himself up on his roof, doing his best Rooftop Korean impression. The "told you so" was epic.

A secret username? 🤷‍♂️

Wait, hang on. Are you getting 350fps with 0.25g BBs? If so, that would be 1.42J, which would make that (technically) a Section 5 firearm, and way above any UK site limit for an auto-capable gun. Specnas EDGE guns come with two springs, an M90 (which I assume is the lost one) and an M120 (which is consistent with ~1.4J) If you've been playing with the M120, without your gun locked to semi and using DMR rules and a MED, I'd like to know what site(s) you've been playing at. And I'd love it if one of the UKAPA reps who frequent here could have a word with them about the wisdom of saying "350fps limit" and assuming that even well intentioned players have any idea what that actually means. Anyway, tl;dr version, get an M100 spring and a chrono, or an M95 if you want to be more confident that you'll come in under the Joule limit for UK sites.

Ahoy and welcome.

Well, as an addendum to the above, I'm certain there will be a couple of teams of stripy socked speedsofters, buzzing on Monster and testosterone from their one descended testicle, and pre-firing every corner with a solid stream of glowing jizz-balls from their ghostbusted hi-capa with a 2 gram trigger. Which is absolutely fine as long as it's consensual and everybody has the same expectations. But without a crystal clear set of rules, guidelines and tone-setting, I can see tears before endex.

Aside, I agree with all of the above, and fully expect that this is going to be yet another muddle-through-and-make-do event where half the site regulars will turn up anyway without even knowing it's been booked out, get allocated to ad hoc "teams", then play exactly as normal. It's absolutely typical of a dis-organiser who thinks they can put in the work only after enough people beg to attend that they think it'll be worth it, rather than doing the same amount of work up front and actually giving their event a chance. But I went with a ha-ha post because I also doubt that OP will ever be back to engage here. It's a drive-by leafleting. I'll be delighted to be wrong about any or all of that.
