Modify is working on a Steyr Scout Rifle!!!
About time!
-
Time to redo all the loadouts!
-
Move your ass G&G and release the SSG-1 drop stock and handguard already!
Fuck's sake, I need to build my stupid tournament gun!

Can't you get a drop stock adapter 3d printed?

I swear I don't get some people.
1st game after the summer break, we invite the infamous cheater club (ye ye why are we inviting them... More people at the field, more targets to shoot at, that's why).
TL;DR version is that everything went well until the last 3 games, at that point nobody was calling his hits anymore 😕
Spotted the enemy sniper and dumped about half a flash mag on his forehead (before anyone goes full KM, it was the only thing I could see) from close distance (under 10 metres), only to be shot in the neck by a G18 burst as I closed in on him. Meh, took it and didn't complain, he looked like Jesus Christ with his crown of thorns, 'twas enough for me.
Last game was surreal though, one guy and I did a super long flank on the enemy defenders until we stumbled upon this girl who was looking the other way (she somehow didn't hear us and we almost missed her entirely), at this point I aim at her butt, flick to semi but the gun doesn't fire, she notices that we are both aiming at her from literally 3 metres, raises her gun but I've already vanished behind cover. My teammate went behind the very tree she was hiding in before she could let the first shot off.
She tried to burst my ass but I had switched to the AAP and put 4 rounds in her mask, my teammates pops out of cover and puts another 3 in her side, meanwhile she sweeps the void in a somewhat desperate attempt to hit us as we were on her 3 and 9 o'clock from her position.
She calls the hit and rushes to our club's president to call us out because we "blatantly cheated"..
Fuck's sake it was going soooooo well

Looks like Nov's testing another gun..

Imagine going on a bike holiday with your old man.
Imagine having the worst luck possible throughout the trip.
Imagine him crashing in the most retarded way ever, completely destroying his right knee ligaments.
Just when we reached the best places..

Fixed M16 stock on an ARP-9 yay or nay?
Kinda like the WWSD concept, but in 9mm
-
Does anyone have a spare M4 butt plate with door that he wants to get rid of?

only one I found was this but fuck knows about compatibility and it's a whole buttstock

Fucking deans, such a pain to solder..

Took the striker in a game.
Cheater club wants to join.
For some reason people called hits when I shot them.
Cheater Club president then proceeds to ignore a full auto magdump from the AAP01 from 4/6 metres.
Mmkay...

This whole concept of "club" play bothers me. Any group of humans will divide the world into Us (all that is good and pure and holy) and Them (all that is evil and corrupt), until it ends in zealous bloodshed. This is why decent sites will split up large groups - better to have you shooting at the person that's giving you a ride home.
-
So, had a night outdoors game yesterday, the AK performed flawlessly, the range with the MR-Hop is ludicrous on 0.28s, and it cycles smooth as silk.
The AAP01 with the new rubber and 0.3s was used as a sniper rifle, haven't used full auto in anger yet and in the last game it removed the whole attacking team.
On the other hand, a friend's Titan decided to shit the bed and randomly start firing for no fucking reason I mocked him all night..

Is it me or the specna arms website has disappeared?

Tfw your local retailer is doing R-Hop installs (just fitting the patch and swapping rubber and tensioner) for €85.
A bit of a scam isn't it?

the only real benefit i can see to the r-hop over a default unit like ml is the ability to have a softer compound on the contact patch and a harder one for the feedlips for a high fps build.
but even then at higher fps you don't need as much spin anyway.
just saves so much hassle dropping a pre-made bucking in and knowing it's going to be positioned and shaped just right.
-
At the current state, R-Hops are just a way for techs to make some extra money. A lot of money in my tech's case.
But I am pretty sure only a handful of people will get r-hops installed, as everyone plays on .2s and the retailer doesn't stock bbs heavier than 0.25g anyway, so the service makes no sense.
I still keep my range and consistency advantage
-
mhm....
Dboys PDW?
yay or nay?
-
Instead of playing and cursing people for not calling hits, I decided to do some teching today.
The point was to install a Warfet and replace the hop rubber on the AK.
Did the absolute worst solder/routing job ever done, the hop C-Clip snapped in half and I've glued it back together, the box is not really aligned with the hop chamber.
If Luke saw what I have done to this gun, he'd beat me to death with a stick dipped in horse shit.
When it shits itself it's gonna go to a really good Italian tech.

0.7J arp9.
0.28g specna edge BBs.
Maple Leaf MR hop.
Easy 60 metres.
Can't wait to see the results once I fix the air seal.

Well, I have tested it in anger on Sunday, although without fixing the air seal.
Managed to reach people at 60 metres (measured) while pulling a MC Hammer on them.
Spread seemed almost non existent up to 45/50 metres, but I will have to confirm it with a proper shooting test (might record it and post it somewhere next sunday).
Feeding is fine, somehow. My ARP never fed flawlessly for some reason.
Overall impressed so far.
-
@Skara nice. Omega nub I gues?
-
Smol noob teching question:
If I increase the cylinder volume (from a type A with the hole in the middle cylinder to a C with the hole 3/4 of the way) do I risk any PME? gun has a quite high rof in the mid/high 20s.
Everything else would stay the exact same.

Brass one is say 48mm to front of cylinder
Blue is about 45mm to front of cylinder
either would do - not much in it tbh
When you lost say 25fps/0.2j (depending on bb used)
that could have been from refitting bucking/barrel
or in a new hop/barrel setup
or
the bucking refitted to longer barrel that may not have sealed so perfectly
Coz a longer barrel would lean to more creep not less
So I'm a little surprised it drop a bit, should have crept up slightly
which I wonder if the new barrel/hop was fitted 101% perfectly
or a new hop/rubber/nub installed made the difference over original
in other words - if fitted correctly or a new bucking/refitting made a less effective seal or either a bit of dirt/grease ensured a bit more hop required to lift bb and that was where the drop took place
coz all things being equal you should have gained say 0.1j perhaps
The blue G&G cylinder is slung in most G&G's up to say 333mm barrel
and I'd lay money the spring is a m110 (360fps) or just over to make a firehawk type barrel hit 320fps with a 140mm barrel
by all means test/try the other cylinder but something changed when barrel/hop got refitted imho
also if open it up - check compression coz G&G's on some piston heads produce a below par seal, so get good compression with what cylinder seems to seal best on piston, with a decent o-ring etc....
But reckon the refitting of barrel & bucking especially did not go so perfectly and thus you lost power is a possible thing to investigate
or hop unit is sloppy and shifts forward at times losing seal
so ensure spring on hop unit to push it back to seal, if the mag tries to shift it away from box when inserted
something ain't right & whatever it is up with hop/bucking
THAT is what might have caused the drop
-
Thanks for the reply.
I indeed expected an increase in muzzle energy with the longer barrel.
I have already changed the piston head o-ring as the stock one was crap (all mangled and no matter what I did, it would not seal), the hop rubber was a prometheus purple that got replaced with a prometheus blue (flat) and then back to purple because the blue went in another gun.
Now I have a ML MR-Hop AEG rubber with its Omega tensioner, which is noticeably softer than the two prommy rubbers I had previously. Now, when I had the stock 130mm inner, both prommies gave perfect air seal and consistent readings of 0.98/0.99 Joules, compared to the stock G&G blue rubber that had readings all over the place (same thing happened with the G&G green, chrono looked like it was on LSD).
I am pretty sure I have installed the hop/barrel correctly and the spring that pushes the unit against the gearbox is fairly strong (it's the kind that slides over the barrel). Mags are very consistent due to their AK style locking mechanism and overall tight magwell, if they push the hop away from the box they do it in a very consistent way as well, because the readings are pretty much +- 0.6 m/s
I'll chrono with the new rubber tomorrow and see if it has changed anything, then I'll open it up and mess around with the air seal again.
Worst case it'll be a new piston head + o-ring and a softer spring to compensate for the energy output increase.

How does one not die in 30° weather?

Just found out ML made a MR-Hop for AEGs 😮
70m range at 0.9J here I come!!

Nice smol box from AA

AAP on its way.
Now, Arezzo (lovely town btw, if you ever come to Italy, make sure to check it out) is a couple of hours drive from me.
Hopefully it doesn't take a week to travel 200kms..

judging by the last time you spoke about the italian postal system it'll take about 14 hours to get 199.5km and 2 weeks to make it the rest of the way.
tbf i get a similar issue with one particular shop in ireland, for some reason stuff takes exactly a month to arrive and turns up smelling of fish.
i don't want to say the irish postal system involves chucking the package on the first lorry that looks like it's going vaguely the right direction, but i'm gonna insinuate the hell out of it.

What a shit game day this was.
Sniper kit needs to be redone (yay more money into the drain), I totally need mesh eyepro and 2 pistols are kinda useless.
Luckily I had the ARP and switched to that.

If I had a safezone to rely onto, I'd just use my frv belt and an armpit holster for the mk23.
Unfortunately that is not an option as I have to sling all my gear and supplies with me (radio, at least one litre of water, small gas canister). I need to rework my backpack setup.
Also thinking of switching to mesh when sniping, after all I play at 1J and everyone uses 0.2s, so the energy discharged on impact is very little (especially at 30/40 metres).
-
The thing with the mk23 is that it's huge, when I carried it as a regular pistol on my hip it got in the way every time I sat or knelt (is this correct?) down. Drawing from the hip when prone produces a lot of movement which can give your position away, which is bad when you're trying to remain unseen.
Shoulder/armpit/chest mount is the only system I can think of right now.
Regarding mesh, I know cheap bbs can shatter, the alternative to mesh would be to play without mouth protection or using something like a SISU, but the price tag scares me (in case I'm not comfortable with a gum shield)
