Which you'll need given their warranty. This does seem credible. I have a desk full of recovered 18650 li-ion cells, some of which have dipped below 1V, and which all recovered after a bit of "never do this!" brute force. I'm seeing prices of £30 for the Valken 3Ah 7.4Vs, which is pretty much a coin flip whether you want to gamble on one li-ion, or two lipos for the same total price and capacity.

Valet.

Is there though? Anyone can lie about BB masses. If you're honest about an 8mm BB's heft, then the diameter really, truly doesn't matter.

The 100% accurate interwebs apocrypha says that they scaled the total length of their MP7 with the flash hider to H&K's specified length of an MP7 without the flash hider.

Li-ion owners love them, and they're likely to be physically more robust. However, I tend to agree with Luke at Negative that you're better off with two (or even three) lipos for the same money, given that if your li-ion craps out, you're stuffed. Sound like Titan essentially told him "tough luck, mate" as well.

I can't see a problem in this case. An 8mm 0.3g BB has the the same energy as a 6mm 0.3g BB at the same speed. It'll lose it quicker, and be less dense and hurty on impact. I'd rather be shot by (properly chronoed) 8mm.

Great to hear that you enjoyed it. You'll get a huge adrenaline hit from the first few games, and even if you're fit you'd likely find yourself stressing muscles by holding unusual positions. I mention this because it's very easy to spunk the lad's inheritance on toys while you're still buzzing. The 56 day membership / UKARA wait seems frustrating, but can save your wallet. If you can't resist the urge to buy things, then secondaries (pistols, cheap spring breacher shotguns) can be a fun complement to rental AEGs.

No problem, and you're right to ask as there's a baffling range of M4s that look largely identical. The G&G CM16 is decent enough and used to be a default suggestion. You'd be unlikely to regret owning one. However, in price for features, it's slipped way down the list now, and it's getting harder to recommend them.

That. Or if you want to spend a bit more, a Specna Arms EDGE 2.0 with the GATE ASTER optical mosfet. The rotary hop unit is decent enough, and both the DE and Specna are wired to Deans and have QC spring systems, which the G&G doesn't. I think my EDGE 1.0 even came with a flat hopped bucking and nub (although I threw then in the Bits Box in favour of Maple Leafs parts). Barrels, rubbers and nubs are very easy to change if you want to dive in yourself, although I'd suggest just cleaning the barrel and playing with an AEG to get a baseline for its performance.

How do you spend an extra £1380 on top of a £380 gun? I'd guess it's someone who imagined paying that much would buy him the YouTube video experience, headshot after headshot at 100 (airsoft) metres. Doesn't even claim that it shootslikealaserlegitmate.

Well, you're not the problem that they're trying to solve. Something to bear in mind is that the folk on this site and others represent a small subsection of airsoft players, and I'd suggest the most engaged and interested - and dare I say, honest. I'm not long after seeing a Failbook post from someone who'd bought an HPA system and then thought to ask "How adjust power tho?" And even at that, at least they asked. Others might not. There won't be many folk turning up shooting hotter than a thousand suns, but it'll only take one to make a site shy of the platform and what it can do.

Bear in mind that the legal definition of an airsoft gun is based on what it's "capable" of with "any missile". So sites could make an argument along those lines, and test with a variety of BB weights, and with the hop dialled to various settings. You could even test what an HPA rig can do with the regulator dialled to 11 - I wonder how many folk are turning up with Section 5 firearms. Their site, their rules. But they need to explain what ze rules actually are. They're demonstrably not clear, or consistent, and actually contradict their own published contract.

So absolutely no idea whether he's made it better, or worse. R-hopped how? By who? Does it actually even shoot at all? And it doesn't need any of those. He'd be better "de-beasting it", putting in back to stock and flogging the "upgrades" separately. Foot in shot, absolute degeneracy.

Oh, I'd prefer that too, as a player. However, as a site, if players can just shrug and say "OK, I'll put it back in the car and get my CYMA" then why would they care what their gas guns are creeping up to? What I'd really want is some clarity and consistency, regarding what I'd be tested with, and what the consequences would be. Hmm, I wonder what Anzio would do if a player voluntarily approached marshals to ask to be re-chronoed in-game, and came out over. 🤔

How much is too much? My real objection is to this use of the word "variance" at all. The gun is either over a limit, or it's not. Once you start saying "yeah, it's over the limit, but it's only 10% over" then you've just upped your actual limit by 10%. Now, how much can it be over that new limit before you punt it?

Is it though? If the only penalty for running hot is that you might sometimes have to switch to something else, then it's not much of deterrent.

I don't know what this statement means. Is that referring to the BBs that are made available at the chrono? I ask... ... because of that. If they're going to have a zero-tolerance policy towards guns (something I actually agree with, especially for HPA), they should apply a similar high standard to their own communication and pre-game testing. That's if the goal is to actually keep everything below their limits, rather than to have the thrill of shouting "Hah, gotchya!" and punting punters.

Sure, and sale, purchase and possession doesn't require a loicence either. Practically speaking, the chances of you being caught, prosecuted and convicted beyond a reasonable doubt are somewhat less than getting a straight yes or no answer out of a politician.

And again I find myself in full agreement with that policy. However, they need to be crystal clear what the testing methodology is. Yup, that's what their written policy says. It clearly doesn't match the reality, and it's daft for them to even mention 0.2g in CURRENT_YEAR, but sadly they've still got that 350 / 400 / 500fps mindset. It's also unnecessarily confusing, as what they actually mean is that there's a hard 1J limit on HPA guns. Knowing that, and that they might drop in any weight of BB, I'd be setting up to be comfortably under 1J on a 0.4g (with the hop set for 0.25g). If that makes HPA uncompetitive, then perhaps that's actually the tacit intent of the site policy. Now, that's interesting and sensible, but contradicts their published policy. OP, was that your experience? Were heavier site BBs available at chrono? Was there any hint given that they might test with heavier BBs? I find myself in the peculiar position of actually agreeing with what they do, but sighing and tutting at what they say. It does rather feel like the site owner enjoys the thrill of catching people out.

Wellll.... I approve of sites doing regular spot checks all through the day, using their own BBs, and heavy ones at that. But. If they're going to do that, they need to be absolutely clear about it so that you can tune for it, and provide them at pre-game chrono as well. Mugging people with a surprise weight is a cad's trick. And it's a peculiar weight at that. If they're really concerned about what over-volumed guns can creep up to by loading heavier BBs, they should be using 0.4g or even heavier. Sounds like another site owner who has formed a muddled but adamant opinion, and now won't be swayed by reason or logic. Sadly, there's no critical thinking test for running a site. [EDIT] Oh, this lot? https://firstandonlyevents.co.uk/first-and-only-airsoft-rules/ I've ranted about that "actual" and "variance" utter gibberish before. What a bizarrely over-complicated way of saying that they have a 1.1J limit for AEGs[*], but 1J for HPA. And they explicitly say "All our Chronographs are measured with 0.2g ASG bbs", so why would you tune for anything else? [*] Also, they don't seem to know that 350fps on 0.2g is 1.13J or 1.14J, not 1.1J, so it's not even clear which figure they'd use. I'm calling Dunning-Kruger on that.

Preach it. Cosplayers add "weathering" to simulate battle damage. My EVA costume is constantly being repainted to repair actual BB impacts. You can't get more realistic than real[*]. [*] Childish pretend.
