  1. Which 11.1V 2200mAh crane? Any decent battery seller will list dimensions, which you can measure up against the actual gun that you receive. The only consistent thing about airsoft is that it's not consistent, even within a given make or model.
  2. Forcing everyone to change their password to something new, once, would be less intrusive, and have much the same effect. I'm not going to swipe right on my phone to log in here.
  3. I go in fully armed, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304148616569 (although obviously in the best colour, beige). 8 on the arm, 1 in the gun, that leaves 4 in your pocket. In the unlikely event that you do get through 9 shells, it doesn't take long to switch in 4 new ones.
  4. Ahoy and welcome. I see you avoided the classic error of selling up then regretting it later. Dual wielded MP7s sound like a laugh.
  5. Yarp, those are much bigger bangs than .209 primers. There's no need for that in airsoft, tinnitus isn't something you can just rub some dirt in and walk off.
  6. Mmm, given the cold war and earlier gear that we've seen out there, and the unencrypted comms being picked up on Baofengs, he should be grateful that he's got more than pockets to stuff magazines in If he had any magazines. It's all going a bit Stalingrad, only that doesn't work so well when you're on the offence.
  7. Ahoy and welcome, but that's a new one on me. 9 primer detonations seems excessive. There were some small 3D printed cap firing grenades that were briefly popular (Airtac did some, then stopped) but they fired all 8/9 caps simultaneously, not sequentially. That implies fairly complicated internals. I'd be fascinated to know what that was.
  8. True, although I don't have to check my thermometer, barometer, and horoscope before packing my bag.
  9. Er, then adjust the hop? Generally you'll want to go as heavy as your hop can lift without losing significant muzzle energy. For example, I can run 0.2g at 1.2J, or 0.28g at 1J, with the lower energy coming from having to exert more hop pressure. I run the 0.28g though, as it ends up going further, more consistently, than lighter BBs. If you can lift it, 0.3g or 0.32g is even better. It costs more per magazine, but not necessarily per hit.
  10. That was really well done, and absolutely nails that we can still have fun despite everything a badly run site or event does to try and stop up. Subscribed, and thanks.
  11. Headlines when it happens in North Carolina suburbia, just a slack weekend in Chicago. https://heyjackass.com/ Mostly suicides. Looking at a map, a lot of the deaths are in restricted ownership States https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/ If I could Thanos-snap all firearms out of existence, everywhere, forever, I'd do it. Short of that, in Murca, I'd focus on mental health and the wars-on-whatever that incentivise crime, rather than trying to remove legally held guns.
  12. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
  13. Ditto, but there doesn't seem to be much about it. Cardiff Crown Court docket only lists the basic timeline of the sentencing on October 5th, and I can't find a record of the charges. It won't appear on BAILII since it's "only" Crown, and not contested. The thing is, I could easily see lazy journos (but I repeat myself) dropping the "imitation" from an imitation firearms charge to spice it up, but adding it in when it wasn't there to begin with seems vanishingly likely.
  14. Welshplod have done this firearm-airgun armed nutter for an imitation firearms offence. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/neighbour-bangs-grandmothers-door-air-25182750 It's a very curious charge, since either FA S16A (or S19) cover firearms (which airguns are) or imitation firearms. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/16A On pure speculation, it may not have been functional, therefore not a 1J+ lethal barrelled firearm, so they went for imitation instead. But whatever the reason, he went guilty, and it's a Crown Court precedent now. Next time we have the whole "Akchyually, something can't be both a firearm and an imitation firearms, because that would make me feel bad in my feels", this is so getting cited.
  15. Not a recommendation, but Airtac do them. https://www.airtac.me/shop/odin-sidewinder-adapters/gbbr---odin-sidewinder
  16. Well, that's better, if belated. And goes to show what a soapy-shouldering lie it was to say that there was no way they could chrono that many players. Using site BBs, or did they just trust you? Yup. #NotAllHPAWankers, but every time I've been mashed up in CQB, it's been by an HPA wanker. DMRs, HPA, I'd sod them both off.
  17. During the voluntary chrono that they said they wouldn't be enforcing? Doubting why someone running over 3x the allowed power level would show up to that. Even if specifically told to chrono, you could just feign gun problems and go and dial it down. Also, their published policy - as noted earlier, but it may have changed now - is that the only punishment for hot guns was putting them away. So I agree with kicking anyone running that hot off the site, but their published policy of not doing that rather invited it. I know, this is all anecdotal, it's not aimed at you. It's just that there clearly is no basis for trust at these big events, and that running them on a reactive, hope-for-the-best way is a woeful failure of the most basic duty of care.
