  1. Could be the phone mic but that doesn't sound healthy.
  2. Yo I'm not in the Sahara!!! My field is at about 600m asl and it gets as cold as you guys
  3. Yep 70s don't deform as easily as 50s and 60s, give much better results in full auto fire than the softer counterparts. 50s are way too soft even at 1J.
  4. Give me ALL THE FUCKING ROF! Actually I've had this very discussion with a couple of teammates (kids mostly) not too long ago. We were chatting about upgrades and they wanted to know what a good RoF was, told them it's around 22 because it still gives plenty of plastic being thrown over there but at the same time you don't empty a magazine in 2 seconds flat. (Unsurprisingly, 22 RPS is what all my guns achieve on 7.4 batteries except for the pdw, which uses a slower motor)
  5. I did the testing in winter, where it doesn't get much warmer than you guys I mean I'm in southern Europe but I'm not in the Sahara yet
  6. If you go for a macaron, I suggest the Super variant, the contact patch is wider and it has two convenient shoulders that sit on the barrel window for better alignment and rigidity. Also go for a 70, I got better results with 70s than 60s or 50s in terms of consistency and range. Omega nubs are fine albeit you want the hardest one you can find for a more consistent hop. Motors I use both SHS HTs and ZCI 22tpa motors, the latter is much slower but runs super cool, the SHS will run a lot faster but heat up more.
  7. That sucks! It appears that the only option is to get a CowCow set then... Great, the thing is impossible to get here in Italy..I guess I'm fucked
  8. Let's play a game:

    Guess what makes my AK mosfet overheat and shut down?

     

    (I have no clue btw, I am opening it right now)

      Thanks but I think I know how to put a gearbox together :D

       

      It's just a matter of opening it again, cleaning all the grease from the mosfet sensors and reassemble again.

       

      And then do a proper test on the field to see if it overheats.

      I had that problem with a titan, had a blob of grease right on the sensor 😂

      Yeah it's a mess, just like my life 🤣

  9. It was okay today. Played with midcaps because my lonex are all in pieces for maintenance and repairs (got very little spare time these days and everything takes thrice as long), I genuinely thought I would be outgunned but nope, it was completely fine, I guess I should use them more (on the ak, for example, if I can fix the mosfet overheating issue). Having a proper Odin does help massively though! Next time, of it's not raining, I'll crack out the ak and smersh, haven't touched it since this summer.
  10. Tfw you're too lazy to fix your broken high cap so you use midcaps instead :D

     

    Now that I have a real Odin I might use midcaps more often

  11. I use flash mags and have owned a G&G manual drum for a while. The drum is convenient and being mechanical it's almost indestructible, but it weighs a metric fuck ton (it's 2kgs fully loaded). That's the main reason why I sold it. Winding it is easy enough once you get used to it. Can recommend both systems because they work really well, just be aware of the newer lonex mags because I've seen quite a few die (the little anti reversal springs seem softer than what they used to be).
  12. I'll crack out the calibre tonight but from memory it should be an M3 nut.
  13. Btw I own a C-08, it's my tournament gun Although there is nothing original left inside apart from the gearbox shell
  14. I'll elaborate more: Having a realistic feeling gun is great, but in terms of actual performance on the field, the body being polymer or metal doesn't make any difference. Thing is, we are mostly lumping around our guns all day and slowly drain our energy. The weight of the thing will determine at what point in time you'll start to hate your life I'd rather have an all polymer gun that is light and manoeuvrable than something realistic looking but that will tire out my arms quickly. with that being said, Specna (along with Evolution, Dboys and Saigo Defense) offers more than G&G despite having a lower price point: proper steel bushings, decent brass barrel, QC gearbox and rotary hop unit, whereas G&G insists on brass bushings, pressed tinfoil barrels and those stupid geared hop units that a) are more expensive to make and b) they are flawed in design because they tend to unwind themselves. And they out screws on the wrong side of the gearbox -.- you pay for the brand (and a fancy polymer body with the 2.0 series) but get outdated internals. I know you can replace those parts on a G&G buy why pay more and replace parts when you can spend less and have them on board already?
  15. When I had the arp9 I couldn't fit anything in the pdw stock without the extension. Now mind you, I did have some extra wiring because of the perun upgrade kit, but still the battery space is too limited! I ran it on a pair of 11.1s that are roughly 130x17x18 millimetres.
  16. Get the C-25! You're getting more bang for buck than any G&G you'll ever come across and, let's be fair, it's much better to have a polymer body than a pot metal one!
  17. A retailer local-ish to me has one king arms pdw stock 😮 I'm waking up super early tomorrow to collect it on my way to my drone piloting exam Just need one more now (preferably in fde)
  18. Yesterday two kids got lost in the woods (very thick vegetation, especially in that area with trees so low you have to actually crawl underneath and you have no reference points to look at and track, it was also their first time in that particular part of the field). Now, we know the field like the back of our hands and finding them was easy, but why the fuck did you decide to NOT backtrack and instead you picked a completely random direction? Also, when people shout your name, why the fuck wouldn't you answer back? When confronted, one of them kept bitching because "he knew where they were" which was obviously false, if they knew where they were, they wouldn't have had to be rescued lol.
  19. It's the airsofter's natural progression: At first he plays with nothing but the gun and a couple of mags because that's all he can afford. Then proceeds to buy all sorts of stuff, plate carriers, pouches, tons of mags, optics and what not. The ultimate stage is back to gun + a couple of mags because the rest of his gear just slows him down.
  20. I had a rather bad day. Decided to take the t11 out for a spin, numbers were low so I thought it would be a fun easy day. Couldn't be more wrong. Wind kicked up instantly so I basically had to shoot ghetto style the whole morning, plus I kept making bad positioning decisions so I ended up with a whopping 0 kills day. Well, one, but still disappointing. I suck at sniping and my field doesn't help.
  21. What a rollercoaster! Glad your stuff didn't get stolen
  22. Then the Italian army poncho is the last thing you want lol I say get an mfh one, they're all pretty much the same rip-stop fabric and they all need a bit of waterproof treatment after a while.
