Oh, I know that it's a common bodge, but it's the wrong bodge (unless your intent is to sacrifice batteries rather than fitting a more appropriate motor / gearing / spring). I'm literally shakening to see a tech suggest it.

See, this is why we need to make the <blink> tag great again.

It is commendably detailed, and actually sensible - I'm just very surprised to see that they're applying magical thinking to the electrics.

And painted two-tones, peculiar choice for a site.

Crikey, those have had a hard life. Still, honestly described and realistically priced.

Well, that, but as above, it's not your problem to figure it out. Don't let them fob you off, or start billing you for anything, including postage. If necessary you can reject it and claim your money back.

Sorry to hear that. While I appreciate the detailed and generally reasonably TOS, this is a red flag: "HIGH STRESS BUILDS Use of battery that exceeds 11.1v or 3500mAh or 50c Maximum Discharge." Yeah, no.

Thanks, I honour your service. Would it be possible to delete posts without mod intervention if X number of user reports are received for them?

Looks like it's time for keyword or national/regional IP blocking. Haha, no, I'd drunk-ban everyone then burn the place to the ground. NO CAPES!

I hear "seconded". Really, @Speedbird_666 is who I want to be when I grow up.

Which is why it's an awesome idea. Mods don't volunteer, they're press-ganged.

But I'm nominating you.

Losers complain about fairness. Winners rent a prom queen with the money they make from their channels (or something similar). Why on earth would I do that?

If it's a bolt action rifle with a minimum engagement distance, I'd just call it a sniper for simplicity. People seeing "DMR" will assume it's a semi auto.

That might have been me, I linked to a chemical site to illustrate the components of De-Solv-It, and a spambot may have flagged up that we're interested in sniffing glue.

But he's super duper enthused about it. Which is why we know who he is. And - also to be fair - his videos are also generally well lit, shot and edited. Mumbly McBlur, not so much.

I don't want to rain on your parade too hard, but building a channel now needs something exceptional. Supply is saturated and there are some great airsoft creators out there who languished in the hundreds (or dozens) of subs and views-per-vid, before just fizzling out. Even "celebs" like Negative Airsoft get views in the couple of thousands, which means fewer than that watching all the way through. Is there any particular unique selling point that you're pitching? This is intended as a constructive question, because unless you're bringing top quality content from day one, you'll probably need some sort of gimmick to distinguish yourself.

Thanks, we're familiar with the quirks of EN 166. And that's not EN 166. My Brave-fu isn't finding a "liberated" copy of EN 1731 F, so I have no idea what test projectiles or energies it claims to stop. However, I can find forestry helmets with fine mesh that claims to meet EN 1731 F, and I wouldn't trust that for airsoft use. It's reassuring that you have tested yours, but 2J of 0.2g isn't the same as 2J of 0.46g. Don't get me wrong, I use mesh myself, and DIY at that, using 3.5mm hole / 4.5mm pitch 1mm thick stainless hex. I'd be interested to hear how that (literally) measures up to the Nuprols.

Ahoy and welcome. We have plenty of wheezy geezers here, and there's always room to squeeze another one in.

Site membership + UKARA takes 8 weeks. Either way, he's absolutely fine, and doesn't have to do anything other than enjoy his win.

Nah, that's not a thing. I mean, they may have a fancy-pants chrono that they're testing their XXXTECHS against, but that's all they're doing. And it's all you need to do as well. I take my chrono to sites and chickety-check myself before the marshals shuffle up 10 minutes late so if I ever do get bounced at that site at least I can compensate next time.

Yup. I'm the cheapest of skates, but even I've figured out that skimping on solder wire is the falsest of economies.
