  1. You probably need to push the auto sear (it's a small flat tab that sits on the front right of the hammer as you grip the gun). At first it scared the shit out of me because I pushed the hammer down too much (it engages said sear) and I couldn't fire.
  2. Hadron short stroke kits delivered, had to pay an extra €14 in fees (thanks Brexit), bumping up the final price at €28.50 per kit (incl postage), which makes them automatically not viable to buy in Europe. Will install tonight in both guns and I will also move the charging handle to the pistol while I wait for my WGC order to arrive.
  3. Team meeting in 30 minutes, teaching a bunch of untrained chimpanzees how to read and use a map is going to be fun :D

      Pretty much what happened.

      I didn't think people would struggle with very basic sums and subtractions 😕

       

  4. The bearing is so that you can still use the hammer while you wait for a replacement.
  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"

      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. Then they complain the guy at 70 metres ain't calling his hits
  17. 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..
  18. Welp you're not alone. Whenever I shave people ask for my ID when buying smokes -.- I look like a 12yo without beard -.-
  19. 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
  20. 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 😕
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. 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)
  24. Semi only sites, lol. How to turn an enjoyable hobby into a shit show just because someone got offended by a swarm of angry bbs in his butt.
  25. Hilarious DMR for hilarious games. Far from its final form, I'm still missing a TTI trigger (red), TTI charging handle with external fire selector (red), Hadron "bouncer" short stroke kit and a CowCow G18 hammer set. And maybe a Stalker TDC because the Mamba's window is narrower than the stock one, which makes adjusting the hop a bit of a pain. As of now the only internal modification I've done is a 60° Maple Leaf Decepticon rubber and I-Key. Performance wise it's stupid, 60m range on 0.3s at just about 1J of energy, great consistency (say 5" groupings) and despite the optic being 1kg alone, it's still super lightweight. (also one of the screws on the grip is missing, it actually stripped itself to all fuck for no reason)
