  1. 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.
  2. This seems to be recurrent in the telegram groups I'm in. "Selling full custom gnu, parts list in pm"
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. I *might* have just ordered an Action Army T-11 from Powair6 along with an AAP charging handle...
  6. 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?

      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.

  7. 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)
  8. 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 )
  9. 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
  10. I need to find a home for my pink furniture though, since I sold my Ares honey badger
  11. 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?
  12. Here, have a nice cursed SSX-23
  13. Odd. TMs should have zero issues lifting 0.25s.. Is the hop unit perfectly aligned to the nozzle? Is the tensioner applying decent pressure? Is it correctly seated in the hop arm? You mentioned a G&G rubber which I supposed is the green one, I only had issues with them. They just did nothing-nothing-nothing-JAM ALL THE BBS. I'd try with a Prometheus purple, I only had great results with them (mind you, I'm capped at 1J too ) hopping up to 0.28s nice and straight (wouldn't go heavier, after all it's still a standard mound rubber)
  14. The same stuff we told you to do in your other thread The action seems to be a L96 type (APS2), you may find upgrades a little hard to source though.
  15. Sniping is 95% using your brain, 5% pulling the trigger. Ghillies help but they're not indispensable, there are much more important skills to master first (proper movement and fieldcraft). With those two skills, having a bright neon pink band on your arm becomes irrelevant because you are aware of it and know how to conceal it from the enemy (without resorting to borderline cheating like wrapping it around the ankle/gear).
  16. More information? Energy output? what bb weight are you trying to lift?
  17. Do you really want something that's gonna shake itself to pieces? Since you already have HPA kit, get an E&L and Daytona the crap out of it
  18. It's actually the Italian name for the sequel for some reason
  19. The problem with E&Ls isn't the spring, they're just shit mags.
  20. The fuck are these "top 5" lists for? Anything TM, especially the Mk23. The average range of a stock pistol (not counting TMs nor MK23s) is the same as a stock rifle/carbine (a 1J pistol has the same range of a 1J rifle, change my mind). /thread
  21. Nope, if we bomb the fuck out of the Euro Tunnel and shut down all the airports/ports as soon as the first doses are administered
  22. 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 😝

       

  23. I like that you guys are the first to get the vaccine, so if y'all turn into zombies we don't have to worry about it since you're already isolated on an island
