Outcome unclear: did you died? ... and yet ... Which is a huge failure of foresight, given that people are gunning out of them, or windows will be open. Granted, there are plenty of other "shoulds" in airsoft that can result in injury if not followed, like removing eyepro in game, or lobbing BFGs at head height - which I've been on the receiving end of. What makes TAGs special are that they're always carrying much, much more energy than anything else being shot, and that once you've pulled the trigger, there's plenty of time for things to change at your intended point of impact. I'd nope out of any event that allows them.

It wasn't as bad as it looks from that, but it knocked the lens clean out of his goggles. This was from a Murcan milsim where he was roof gunning from a vehicle that could only be taken out with TAG rounds. They were meant to be launched near it, not at it, but airsofters gonna airsoft.

Notionally it's just yeeting TAG rounds like any other toob. The reason I bring it up is that the video specifically talks about using sights to put a round on target, i.e. shooting as flat as possible, which is exactly what caused the injury shown. InB4 "nobody should": but they do. And "nobody would": but Licking Cumstain. Projectiles with ~16J of energy have no business being used on an airsoft site where people are signing up for ~2J impacts.

And there was much rejoicing.

Hi, we have a specific section in the classifieds for guns wanted: https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/category/17-guns-wanted/ Best of luck.

I do think it's helpful of Specna to have named their gearbox, so that we can know what to avoid.

Armed with the knowledge that ABS or PLA only masses about 0.2g, and 5.95mm of steel is about 0.86g, where would your conscience draw the line?

Sadly, he only needs to fool one victim before each ban to make it worthwhile. My solution of banning all users permanently isn't looking so radical now, is it?

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.
