  1. My Cores don't have the Onion gearbox, yet the compression was almost Ares levels of bad out of the box, even after copious amounts of lubing and o-ring stretching Technically one does not have to replace the whole compression set, at worst it's a matter of replacing the piston head o-ring and swapping the nozzle with a better one. On mine I went the extra length and replaced both nozzles and piston heads with FPS parts, mainly for testing as I heard great things about them but never got the chance to try them out. I left the stock cylinder heads as they sealed perfectly against the cylinders and being polymer they help with shock absorption (the piston heads and nozzles are polymer too btw)
  2. The bearing is so that you can still use the hammer while you wait for a replacement.
  3. your mom's a whore, did you know that?
  4. The stock compression in specnas is bad, I was getting horrible energy losses going from 0.2s/0.98J to 0.28s/0.6J (without even setting the hop), so I recommend you throw away the nozzle and get one with at least one o-ring. With the same gears/motor and a slightly beefier battery (7.4v 1450mAh 30c) I was getting PME for days, so depending on your barrel length you may want to short stroke the sector by one or two teeth and replace the spring with a longer one (SHS springs are great). I say replace the spring because bbs act as barrel plugs, increasing back pressure on the piston, the short stock spring didn't have enough oomph to overcome said back pressure and even on a short stroked setup I still had PME . Also forget about flat hops, they require an unnecessary amount of work (they need a super thick tensioner to make up for the lack of contact patch) and you can just get better results with a W-Hold or a maple leaf rubber. Moreover a flat hop stretches the rubber a lot more than other setups, which leads to a higher chance of tearing the rubber apart if the barrel window isn't 100% smooth. It's a thing of the past and it should stay there.
  5. After all, can't beat good ol' H2O, can you? It's all I drink when I'm out playing.
  6. They suck up water harder than a low quality whore sucks dicks. A few years ago i made the huge mistake of drinking a monster energy can before a tournament and ended up with cramps and mild dehydration halfway through. Never. Fucking. Again.
  7. It wasn't a full sized rifle, I had my AAP smg/dmr with me, which is the size of a MP9 more or less. My whole kit was bodged up in a hurry though, next time i'll be more prepared.
  8. I'd just get a bearing rotor at that point if there is no further damage to the hammer. 9mm is required as the 8mm one is for semi only guns. As far as triggers go, I found the TTIs to be extremely comfortable, the lack of safety doesn't bother me at all and it also automatically disables the cross bolt safety (a plus for me, it's not like the gun is likely to go off by itself so)..
  9. great.

    my hadron short stroke kits have been blocked by customs.

     

    I bet the officer will tell me they're worth €500 just to charge me an additional €50 or so for "handling"

      When the Pony Express turns up, please be sure to let us know. :D

      False alarm :D

      Tracking committed sudoku.

       

      I'll still get charged VAT and handling, but at least it's not €15020230230,65

      @Rogerborg ended up paying €14,13, which corresponds to handling fees (didn't pay any VAT).

      Definitely too much for what I ordered but eh, better than being stung for €50+

  10. It was hilarious tbf. 1st shot was an awful near miss because I had my rifle slightly canted, but he didn't seem to realize he was under fire. 2nd shot was deflected by a twig and went in his cheek. 3rd shot was square on his nose. All this from 30m tops so the BB had plenty of energy, it's not like I was a mile away. Was cocking the 4th shot but then a teammate took him out. I'm happy though, finally the vsr had the chance to show its worth (please note that I am shit at sniping so even getting one shot off is an achievement for me).
  11. I didn't feel like being useful today so I took the vsr, mk23 and aap smg/dmr out for a spin. Well, it turned out to be a good combination: The vsr didn't get used much due to the bushy nature of our field, I did get two long-ish kills with it (on the same person, right off the helmet because it's all I could see and a very satisfying "twack"), the third person I shot with it decided to tank both bbs (to the face, btw, from 40ish metres) and shrug them off despite bleeding a tiny bit from one of the impacts. The mk23 and AAP, though, got used way more. Sure I could have carried the pistol AAP for convenience, but the added stability provided by the stock and foregrip really helped a lot! Swapped the short dot with my T1 at the last minute before the first game, but in hindsight I should have kept the optic on there as I think it makes much more sense on a gun that is so accurate it would make the vsr redundant if it wasn't that quiet. As always, there were a few negatives: apart from the guy who didn't call his hits (he's the one who lost the national finals for us, btw, I'm used to him doing this kind of shit and the solution is generally a good burst to the face, couldn't do that today unfortunately), there have been a couple of arguments between the younger members, mostly about whose cock was the longest as it often happens between teenagers, you know, cooks and hens and farmer Joe. The main gripe of today, though, was kit (mhm, never had an issue with kit, ever, I swear): I had already tried doing this a while ago, but damn, trying to carry three guns at once sucks. Especially when one of these guns is hanging off a makeshift one point sling and keeps bouncing off and getting caught in stuff. Back to the drawing board on that one.
  12. Today I learned that people can take two 0.3s to the face from a sniper rifle, bleed, and shrug them off like nothing happened And that trying to carry 2 guns and a pistol is a cunt.
  13. Completely unnecessary, but who doesn't want to deck out a hilarious gun with hilarious parts?
  14. Yup. In the meantime, I ordered a TTI charging handle with external fire selector for the DMR. Unfortunately WGC doesn't have those nice CCT hammer sets
  15. Happy deaded hammer to you too. Mine are still going but I'll order some spares soon (next week most likely)
  16. http://perunairsoft.pl/hybridv2.pdf Given that a 2.5 is just a v2 with a boner, I say yes it'll work just fine.
  17. Then they complain the guy at 70 metres ain't calling his hits
  18. if not full on teching, at least basic maintenance. I get that people might not have the time nor the interest in what's inside their gats but I legit get asked every sunday to set someone's hop..
  19. Welp you're not alone. Whenever I shave people ask for my ID when buying smokes -.- I look like a 12yo without beard -.-
  20. TTI triggers delivered and installed. Big difference over the stock ones even if I haven't adjusted the preload yet. DMR is a little mushy but I blame it on the gun having just a couple of mags under its belt, I reckon it'll get crispier with time
  21. I have learned that GBBs aren't that bad to work on Also that most of my guns have a "semi automatic" position on their selector switches 😕
  22. If anything SLS isn't gonna crack between layers In le meantime, I've bought another Helikon 2 points sling for my 933 along with an M85 spring, because yes, short stroking by two teeth on a ported cylinder and an M90 still give me over 1J of muzzle energy -.- Also my TTI triggers arrived lil' close up of the triggers
  23. I think it's up to the refs to stop people from being assholes, by making them sit one game out to straight up bans. I also understand the economic aspect of running an airsoft site and that each player brings money to pay the rent. But from what I've gathered from my years on this forum, it looks like most sites go with the easy route of limiting ammo/fire modes instead of addressing the root cause (assholes). I am sure that a site owner who applies a non bullshit policy and actually kicks/bans idiots would get way more customers at his events.
  24. Unless it's a milsim, limited ammo games are the same as semi only. Maybe a bit less of a shit show, but still bad (imo)
