Skara

Thing is that there are so many variables at play when picking noodles. I'm starting to look into buying a decent one but the more I read, the more confused I am.

Nice! I wish they were available in Europe as well, I'm kinda tired of paying €15+ for a bag of decent 0.28/0.32s

It WILL become a problem

Don't. Silly two piece design that causes leaks.

Paper and reality are two different things. I run a very similar setup in my King Arms PDW (ZCI 22tpa HT motor, SHS 13:1 short stroked by two and what appears to be a M100-ish spring) and I'm getting around 25 RPS on a 11.1v. Regarding the battery, find out how many amps the motor needs and pick a battery that can provide them. Undersized batteries tend to commit sudoku quickly.

Check if the bearing delayer bullshit isn't popping off its axle.

It seems to fit, although it doesn't solve my "tighten the grip and the gun screams louder than a petite vs BBC clip" issue, to which I have yet to figure out a solution. Along with a self unwinding motor adjustment grub screw piece of shit.

For real? Ah fuck it, I'll crack out the Dremel then. Also it's going on a cm.045 too

The saga of dumping whatever money I earn into airsoft continues: 1x Dboys fixed stubby stock; 1x Arcturus/D-Day AK74 high cap (trying it out, if it feeds in my Cyma I'll buy 5 more); 1x PTS Us Palm Ak grip; 3x Maple Leaf 70° Super Macaron (can't get enough of those)

This, tbf. I can hold my ground against r-hop bois in my club with properly set up guns and (Super) Macarons

Perun Hybrid mate, does what a Titan does but for less money

Bank account took another hit. Retro Arms V2 gearbox (now 3 out of 4 AEGs have them); FPS 8mm bushings; Prommy BC bright 208mm barrel for the pdw.

Oh don't worry, I'm not giving up on my Lonex mags, it's all I use in my M4s! I just wanted to find an "old school" high cap that works and feeds with my guns. Unfortunately the Specna high caps that came with them don't feed at all in full auto, even though they lock in so nicely despite the cunty ass Maxx chambers

Bit of an odd one but... What is the best M4 highcap that is not a Lonex Flash Mag?

What Chris said. Also, do yourself a favour: Next time you play, when you get home lay all the kit you brought on the floor, then group all the items you've actually used on one side, you'll be amazed at how much unnecessary crap you carry Anyway, a rough estimate of what I always have on me (regardless of what gun or kit I run) is: 3/4 + 1 mags, bag of BBs, at least one litre of water, radio, multitool, small tin with adapters/programming card/Titan usb thingy, 1/2 spare AEG batteries in case someone forgets his, cigarettes, phone (not always) and car keys. Maybe a windshirt if it's really cold/very light rain. Odin if I run midcaps (rarely). Water, BBs (+ Odin) and radio in my backpack, the rest in a chest rig or belt kit. You really don't need more

This ain't Mack.

Material is mostly irrelevant, just like diametre or any other fancy "feature". The only thing that really matters in a barrel is the inner finish and, since the SSX uses a 6.02 Maple Leaf barrel, I'd argue it's more than good enough! To answer your question, no, you shouldn't replace the inner barrel. Also, bore diametre affects energy output for the most part, so a 6.01 will give you more Joules than a 6.03 (same length, same specs, same everything) and with gas operated guns this may result in more (or less if using a wider barrel) Joule Creep, so keep that in mind

Bought some custom made pouches from Baribal in Polen land: Two of these to go over the mag pouches on my belt kit - Primarily to hold navigation stuff and multitool + bits; One of this to turn my 9 litres Tasmanian Tiger Essential Pack into a sort of this for games up to 8 hours long (I'll be using my Direct Action Dust for longer games); A 40mm velcro inner belt (hook) to be used with my FRV Shooter's Belt and Templar's Gear belt kit; A Dump Pouch; Everything in Ranger Green and 500D Cordura. € 140 for everything (including PP surcharge and shipping from Polen). Next is another golden carbon fibre barrel (for my 933) and a 36k Warhead Black still for the 933 (with possibly a 16:1 gear set to keep the RPS down to 20/22 on a 7.4v)

Yup, decent retailer, bought my T-11 from them along with a few bits and bobs. Postage to me isn't overly expensive (€12 via GLS) but you might incur in import fees.

You get very similar performance for a) less money and b) less hassle. It's more about how much you want to invest in your gun, both in terms of money and in terms of time spent on tweaking it.

Let me elaborate: Except for a couple of (at least to me) mandatory parts like hop rubbers and such, every "build" needs to have a goal: I modify guns to make them reliable and efficient, someone might go for raw performance, other for more "realistic" stats like realistic ROF and such. It all depends on what your son wants from his gun, is it a CQB shooter? does it get used in the woods as well? What's the target energy (in Joules) and ROF? Ask him these questions and come back with answers
