Where did you eat in Pisa @Asomodai? Because I've lived there for 5 years during my failed attempt at becoming an architect, I was actually born in there and still own the house my parents met and lived in before moving to La Spezia (some 70 kilometres NW of Pisa along the coast, where we still live today), that I now rent to students. The good places are in the old part of the town, mostly in the small alleys between the river and the main train station. Almost none of them make pizza though, they do offer local dishes (a lot of meat, Tuscany is famous for their steaks and meat based dishes) at good prices. The restaurants you see near the tower are really terrible, you might as well eat at McDonald's, you get better food and pay less money..

yo fuck off Heh, can't deny, some places really can't cook for shit.... There are different ways of thinking when it comes to pizza. The true pizza is just tomato sauce, mozzarella di bufala (you could translate that into buffalo mozzarella) and just a couple of basil leaves, thin crust (1/1.5 cm thick, crispy-ish) and the base kinda supports itself when sliced. Fries and wurstels are a common topping for youngsters, vinegar is a thing too when people start putting vegetables on (especially a sour type of salad I absolutely can't remember the name of, coupled with proper parmesan slices). One of my all time favourites is speck (a smoked salty kind of ham) and mascarpone cheese (sweet-ish, to compensate for the speck). There is also a restaurant in my town that recently opened up one in London (called La Pia), they make a softer, thicker kind of pizza that has become a trademark for them (I like it but as with all things, YMMV), and it's basically my town's street food Then of course you see those cunts putting fucking pineapple on pizza and you start hearing voices in your head that tell you to cleanse the earth from such heresy... now that is some heresy. Malta? Wine? the fuck?

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.

A 7.4v LiPo will stress the gun less than a 9.6v NiMh. 11.1v LiPos, on the other hand, aren't recommended for a stock gun without any sort of mosfet, as they tend to wear the trigger contacts much faster than other batteries. So, as long as you use a 7.4, you're good to go.
-
Some deans. I thought I did the smart thing with XT60s, but then I started using GATE mosfets..

ConCamo would like to have a word with you

Oh well at least he accepts broken JG 552s in exchange

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?

Hold on. Didn't someone already make an airsoft bow thingy some time ago?

Rule of thumb is the heaviest your gun can lift. For CQB you can use .2s as the engagement distances are short anyway and they're cheaper. I use 0.28s on my AEGs when playing outdoors bar the M4 that can only lift .25s despite the prommy flat hop. 0.25s when playing cqb 0.3/0.32s in pistols and sniper regardless of what I'm doing. .25s for tournaments because M4 lol. Speedloader: any will do, if you have the budget then an Odin sidewinder is the best thing ever, I understand that not everyone wants to drop €60 on a speedloader tho. Currently using a cheapo Pmag style one, works just fine. Also have an Odin clone but it keeps dismantling itself every 2 magazines (you get the idea).

on a side note, a FMA safariland QLS adapter just turned up in the mail. I think I ordered it back in February or something and completely forgot about it

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

Softairgames.it San Marino retailer. And yes, so then I can send a mail to Luke telling him the internet man told me AOE is key.

Finally found some fucking sorbothane. Don't worry, it's not going into an AEG to CoRrEcT ThE aOe IsSuEs!1!!!1one! It's going into my sniper to damped the piston cobra slapping the cylinder head. Bought 2x AK C-Clips, some o-rings and another Maple Leaf AEG 50° MR-Hop rubber.

It may be old, but it's good. What we really need is pictures of the gearbox, preferably open If that mp5 is your only gun, I'd honestly just hand it to a tech. Anyway, depending on the internals conditions you may just want to clean it up and reapply some lube here and there. I'd also get a mosfet (no need for those fancy £130+ ones, a GATE Warfet gives plenty of options for customization and doesn't require any sticker in your gearbox), it'll improve the trigger response by miles, other than protecting the trigger contacts from arcing if you use high voltage batteries. New hop rubber maybe? The ICS I had was kinda meh, it gave good seal but couldn't really lift anything past .25s FPS depends on what you're getting atm, if you're clocking at 330 there's no need to push for 350 as the range/consistency difference is negligible. Higher RPM, if you have the turbo3000 motor, chuck it away as hard as possible and put something better in it (idk, a Lonex A1/A2)

How a piston jams bbs is beyond me btw. Glad that you found the issue -
Ares Amoeba Striker AS-01/AS-02 Owners Thread
Skara replied to Solly4568's topic in Single Action Guns
Dude the whole system is called CPSB. There is a full co2 cylinder kit, a couple of cylinders, two pistons and at least two full bolts under that name. Do you have a link or a product code we can look up? Regarding your issue, it is typical of a fucked up hop (arm not applying constant pressure, tensioner being loose or rubber being shanked), although if you say it worked fine before installing the new cylinder head we can rule that out. Could be the "upgraded" cylinder head being too long, pushing the bb past the contact patch, which would explain the lack of backspin. What's the issue with your previous cylinder and sear? -
Ares Amoeba Striker AS-01/AS-02 Owners Thread
Skara replied to Solly4568's topic in Single Action Guns
Well, what cylinder kit is that? Because Ares cylinders are shit at best, maybe the new cylinder head does some funny stuff inside the AA chamber. -
Some (in my club) need a bit of incentive, easily fixed by holding the trigger for 1-2 more seconds than required. Tournaments, though, are a shit show. We had an episode at the national finals (where marshals should be absolutely spot on) where we (8 people) magdumped a guy running away, he called fuck all and kept playing lol. At the end of the game he looked like he got blasted by a point blank 12g birdshot. I'm not a dick though, and I run my guns at 20 rps ish and tend to do short bursts unless I'm providing cover for my teammates. But I'd take a wanker hose gun any day of the week at a tournament. /rant Back on topic, I'm happy with my 1J blanket limit and no MED, removes any kind of argument about BaNg bAnG/mercy/surrender.. Sucks for us snipers because we only have a marginal edge on range (good hop, heavy bbs) over regular AEG users who usually spam .2s, so a slightly higher limit for semi locked DMRs/Bolt actions wouldn't hurt too much, say 1.3/1.5J limit, still in the realm of no MED (it's not like you're using them in CQB anyway, plus it's one/two bbs tops coming your way, not 50) but at the same time allows us to stay "safe" further away from the action. But knowing how things go here, it'd probably end up in another shitshow of people running full auto 1.5J guns blasting others at point blank in the face.

Come to Italy and you'll realise how useful a wanker gun can be...

mhm....
Dboys PDW?
yay or nay?

Since it's an Ares gun, I'd sort the airseal asap, along with a better piston and bushings (stock piston tends to explode at the pickup tooth level and the bushings are way too soft). Check the tappet plate while you're at it, as it's pretty poor quality. Cylinder may need porting and the cylinder head is fine, as long as you lube/replace the o-ring (please, no PTFE tape). Give the gearbox shell a radius because they're reported to crack easily (they're a wee bit thinner than regular shells for some reason). Then, take the hop rubber and throw it as far away as possible because it's shit, replace it with a Prometheus Purple. The stock hop chamber is good (imo) but the arm has an integrated tensioner which is a bit meh. Works fine with standard rubbers but it's an absolute cunt if you want to flat hop/install a maple leaf. I have a flat hopped Prommy Purple and had to mod the flat tensioner to make it fit, I can show you what I've done if you want. Nozzle should be plastic and not metal, much less that can go wrong with it, and it won't shred your hop rubber apart if something's not 100% aligned. The barrel is fine, it's an alu 6.03, not great, not terrible, does the job. Give it a good clean. Gears are fine, if you want to replace them, do it, but remember to slap a magnet on the sector gear because that's how the EFCS detects the cycling. Motor, do whatever you want, I'm still using the stock motor in my AM013 but it's slowly giving up (it's 5 years old), in any case go for a good high torque.

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.
