Hang on, hang on, wait a second... ... OK, go!

I thought he kept it to one lie per video. That's still a lot of lying, but at least it's deliberate, unlike Skylar on Reddit.

Not at their current daft prices. They work well, and the plastic is decent, but when you can get fire control systems, quick change springs, rotary hops and all sorts for the same money, they just don't make a good argument for themselves any more. Probably. It really depends on the specific example that you get: airsoft quality control can be more what you'd call an aspiration. Interesting that PatrolBase claim less energy for the longer barrel one. It could be down-sprung, under-volumed, or just have a dodgy air seal - on the examples of each that they tested. A a first / only gun, for woodland and CQB, I'd go for one of the longer models. Short barrels do work, I love my MP5K, but for CQB or as a sniper secondary. For woodland primary, I run 200mm+. That said, the right gun is the one that puts the biggest smile on your face. If the heart say stubby, go for it. Worst case, you can throw a silencer and longer inner barrel on it for outdoor use (and spring, and cylinder and...), that's common enough.

Good work on out-running him!

Salma Hayek is 56, your argument is invalid. You just need the right outfit.

Well, the tappet plate and spring are small beer, but it may just be that the tappet isn't engaged on the nozzle. Either way, it's going to have to come apart to find out, so you may as well strip it down now rather than waiting for the parts. While you're at it, I'd note that being knocked back on the day for being hot will run you more than a basic chrono. Sorry to hear that you've bought a "project gun". I'd assume that about anything bought used, which is why I very rarely take a gamble on "minted, mate, skirmished once, not for me" bargains.

You know I have a memepic for that, right? If you have a £150 one, I'd play with that, at least until you're confident with the sites and hazards.

That's actually a decent attitude. Turn up to get shot, rather than expecting a fantasy YouTube kill ratio, and you'll have a blast. It is a fun hobby. If you get a chance, I'd recommend trying both woodland and indoor CQB as they can be quite different experiences. Filmsim / immersion events are also worth a go, once you've got some experience under your belt. You'll get a massive adrenaline hit from your first day, and it'll be the bestest hobby ever: just try not to come home and blow mortgage money on buying the bestest toy guns ever, at least not right away. Renting for a couple of months until you have site membership / a UKARA number is a good way to avoid making expensive mistakes. Spend the time cadging goes with a variety of guns - airsofters really do tend to be a friendly bunch, and we love showing off our toys.

We can hope, but performance in RC racing is objective, while in airsoft, the narratives in our head are as important as cruel reality. We're still at this energy.

Typical clickbait unboxing review. OP didn't even cover whether this 0.35J beast has a "fully working safety switch". I feel unsafe just reading this without knowing!

Polite FYI, if you post in text from an app or web page in without selecting "Paste as plain text instead", then those of us reading in best mode, dark mode, can end up seeing this:

For someone who wants exactly that package, and doesn't mind taking a gamble that they'll receive something fully functional, or anything at all for that matter, and won't balk at being stung for postage and doubtless PayPal fees too, it's a steal.

Yes, I run a plastic Murcan canteen. It carries liquid, you can drink from it, it worked fine during all those wars that Murca lost "drew". Plus side, it's easier to clean than a CamelBak, downside, it's totally "not" leeching plastics into the water. I should really look into finding some sort of stainless steel solution with the same dimensions before my cognitive fakulties deegrayd 2 fur.

That battery connector looks like the standard one on the original nimh TM (and CYMA clone) AEPs. So you have got an AEP battery, it's just that your AEP is too uPgRaDeD to use it. Short of downgrading the pistol back to an old style connector (and I don't know where you'd get one), if you're feeling brave you could try carefully disassembling the end of that battery and seeing if there's enough wiring there to solder a Deans on to - you can see the black and red wires under the connector there. That could get a bit scorchy, so the alternative is to buy any regular non-AEP lipo that will fit in the space and use that instead. You'd be surprised what you can get in there, I'm running a 1200mAh 7.4v in my "1911", granted with some modification (cutting a hole in the front of the frame under the barrel).

Wouldn't be the first time. Mid Century History Enthusiasts are drawn to this hobby, and I've expressed concerns a few times about the "Calm down, it's just dreᛋᛋ up, lol" sorts. If the organisers are OK with what went on, I'd prefer that they say so clearly so that folk know what to expect.

I told you to listen to the naysayers!

Hello, welcome, and thank you for kindly allowing me to decide whether I prefer airsoft or paintball, it's very gracious of you. I'm almost certain that you won't start spamming links to a "blog" that's a thinly veiled affiliate ad-serving site. Sure of it.

You'd generally run 0.4g+ in a sniper, but you should be able to turn the hop down to accommodate anything. From what I'm seeing, it has two grub screws to adjust the hop, under the mag - are you adjusting both, and have you tried going all the way in both directions?

... a politician being asked to define a woman.

There is no more noble cause. I'd call it a win and move on, airsoft is more of an art than a science.
