  1. It's my first dremel so https://www.dremeleurope.com/it/it/dremel®4000-686-ocs-p/ Sorry for pasta language but it's this one
  2. Heh the 3000 was on offer for €50 at the local store and I was tempted. But then found the 4000 4/56 kit for €100 posted and couldn't say no
  3. Might have just bought a dremel 4000... Need to skeletonize all the things!!
  4. You're asking questions that are WAY above our pay grade
  5. AA's packaging design is a bit shit, let's hope that the content doesn't match the box
  6. Yay, my Airtech ETU Speed Trigger Converter has been delivered!!

     

    Too bad it took 2 fucking months (ordered in October) and I sold my ARP-9 lol

      Mhm, lost faith in G&Gs, after taking apart my specnas I realized there is much more value in those.

      Message the person who bought your ARP9 and offer it to them. Cheeky but it might shift it for you.

      Nop, when I sold the gun he told me he was going to fit a Titan in.

       

      No biggie though

  7. Not quite 15 metres, but you get the point. There is a certain distance in which the BB doesn't seem to be affected by the backspin (varies from gun to gun, but let's say 5/6 metres in which the bb flies in line with the barrel), so a 5 metre range doesn't really show anything (a la Airsoft Mike). To the OP, I would first of all go through 6/7/8 magazines without caring too much about accuracy, then test on a longer range, say 15 to 20 metres, hop completely off vs hop completely on vs hop properly set for the bb weight you're using. To eliminate external factors, rest the gun on a bench/table/chair and record the results. Also let's keep in mind that: it's a brand new gun, the hop rubber will most likely need bedding in along with purging excess lubricant (you know, some guns are caked in grease/oil from factory for "protection" during shipping); it's VFC OEM'd;
  8. Yep that is a downside. Although it you think about it, you only need to set the hop once or twice throughout the year, or at least I do. Thing is, I heard that the stock unit tends to lose its setting with usage, as of now I haven't noticed it, but I haven't put enough rounds through mine to notice anything yet Let's talk optics for a brief second: Looking at a small and lightweight sight for the SMG. The dot in my pictures is shit, as in the laser beam being reflected in your eye if you aren't 100% aligned. Any relatively inexpensive suggestion? Not keen on dropping big money for an airsoft POS, nor drop big money for a RS sight that won't get used as much.
  9. How does one rate "unnamed" springs? With a certain degree of accuracy of course, not just "hard" "soft" lol
  10. Yep. Some accessories are really expensive though. Anyway, anyone has any experience with the cnc hop chamber? I'm thinking of picking one up to test.
  11. This seems to be recurrent in the telegram groups I'm in. "Selling full custom gnu, parts list in pm"
  12. Why have one, when you can have two! The all black SMG looks much better than my previous two tone setup. already dropped a ML decepticon and slings 0.3s way ova der
  13. Shit. Just got a call from my local retailer. He's just stocked a few AAPs.... Oh well, I guess I got myself a Christmas 2050 present, 30 years in advance
  14. I *might* have just ordered an Action Army T-11 from Powair6 along with an AAP charging handle...
  15. Aaaaand I finally got rid of my last Ares gun :D

      My 008 is hitting about 19 on a 7.4. I daren't stick an 11.1 in for fear of it eating itself (again). I didn't think that was too bad for the setup it has.

      You're right though 16:1 to 18:1 is a fairly minimal difference but it is noticable snappier, maybe thats just my mind trying to justify spending the money or maybe it's just the difference between rubbish Ares stock gears and decent aftermarket ones.

       

      Very nearly went 18:1 and DSG but I need it to be a reliable backup, not a touch n go potential.

      You swapped the motor, haven't you?

    4. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      Yes, swapped for a SHS HT one. I wanted to leave as much as I could standard but as one part swapped it ended up mushing another so now just about everything is swapped out.

  16. Oh no, I wasn't talking BBs, but real cheap shit ammo in a real gun (so it jams/misfires/breaks) and comparing it to running a heavy ass slide in the cold (couple of shots then vents all the gas)
  17. These aren't meant to be realistic, they're meant to be practical so lightweight, ergonomic and packing a decent punch. Think of them as speedsoft guns, they're unrealistic as hell but very efficient in what they're meant to be doing For realism, look somewhere else (FuLl mEtAl GBBs for example, so you can pretend to run cheap ammo when they stop working after half a magazine in the cold )
  18. Read the whole thread Range is a mixed bag, people keep saying it lifts 0.45s out of the box, mine struggled to lift 0.3s until I swapped the hop rubber, now it reaches 60 REAL metres easily. I don't really check groupings, it's meant to be a close range gun but I've had some pretty accurate first shots up to 50 metres. And yes, with a drum and a stock it turns into a very fun support weapon, until the hammer explodes
  19. I need to find a home for my pink furniture though, since I sold my Ares honey badger
  20. So. Let me throw this here. I want the gun to be as quiet as possible, filled the stock and barrel with foam and other sound absorbing materials, slapped a nice sorbo pad on the cylinder head, modified the internals of my suppressor, but there is still a very audible piston slapping sound, no matter what I do. Most likely it's caused by the messed up volume ratio (I believe the AS-02 sits around 4:1 or something like that) so it got me thinking: How can I reduce the cylinder volume? Four main options: Port the cylinder by drilling a hole; Apply another sorbo pad to further reduce the piston travel (consequently reducing the effective air output of the cylinder); Get a much wider barrel like a 6.20 or something; Make an airbrake. The first option is a big nope, I'm not willing to waste another sorbo on this gun, getting a widebore is out of question as well (because they're impossible to find here in italy), this leaves me with the 4th option, making an air brake.. I was looking at my piston (AirsoftPro one) and it got me thinking: The pad on the piston head is held in place by a screw. So I unscrewed it and noticed that the thread goes all the way through the other (spring) side: Brilliant, now what if I can find a screw that has the same thread, but is longer? So I started digging around in my box 'o bits and found some old gearbox screws, which appear to have the same thread as the piston head hole (M3) but are much longer: Voilà, fits perfectly But on its own, the screw isn't going to do much, so the next thing I did was to apply some heat shrink (unfortunately I don't have pictures of this step) just to see if it would work. And to an extent it did! Now that screw, which is a M3x20mm is definitely too short and it gets even shorter when you consider the sorbo pad on the cylinder head. So this morning I went and bought these: Some nice M3x30mm screws, note the different head shapes (bottom is the one I fitted yesterday). Also bought some washers and nuts. Tonight, when I get home from work, I'll install these longer screws and apply multiple layers of heat shrink (approximately until the whole thing fills the nozzle) and see what happens. What do you guys reckon? Will it work?
  21. Here, have a nice cursed SSX-23
  22. The problem with E&Ls isn't the spring, they're just shit mags.
  23. Mk23 carbine kit?

    Or another AAP-01?

     

    (I know the answer is both, but give me a chance 😢 )

      Tough decision.

      As you only run 1J though I'd say aap. The mk23 carbine kit is great for a dmr with higher FPS but at 1J levels the aap for it's better rate of fire and trigger pull.

      good luck getting another aap though 😝
