Skara

YO! Skirmshop (NL) got the stocks in stock Just grabbed one along with the two rail sets (the one that replaces the rear sight and the longer top/bottom ones). I now just need a 2nd gun

Today was fun. As per my status update, my M4 decided to be a cunt and jam bbs, so I ended up playing with a teammate's backup gun. Which didn't like Lonex flash mags. But heh. At least it somehow worked. But anyway, short session today as the weather was crap, I went with a slightly lighter loadout (more speedsofty, my belt + a chest rig with just 3 single mag pouches) which worked really well. We had a new player who was at his first game, he quickly gained the nickname "fisherman's friend" because he literally showed up dressed like a fisherman (rubber boots, weird blue boonie and a green pvc parka). Wore mesh goggles because glasses kept steaming up, not a smart idea considering that I took a bb shard to the eye. Luckily it didn't do any damage but for half a second I got scared as I've witnessed some nasty shit with cheap bbs and mesh goggles. Oh, and it was probably the last game for a while, the expected rise in new rona cases during the autumn/winter season somehow caught our government by surprise, so we are most likely shutting down sports tomorrow (but not parties, silly country).

Barrel diametre doesn't affect consistency as much as you'd think. First make sure the air seal is spot on (from the piston down to the hop rubber). As for the wobble, either what Adolf said or you can glue a thin rubber pad directly onto the stock/receiver.

Yep, but only with the AA mag, the WE mags I'm using are fine. Also CO2 makes the gun run super hot for my 1J limit lo

Why would you use CO2 in the first place?

Very kind of you, but don't worry. I'm just gonna sit here and bitch until I can find one in Italy or Europe

HOLYFUCKINGSHIT. €25 postage to Italy. Fuck that. Seriously.

Where did you find that stock? ffs.

Front sight is backwards btw.

By the way I'm going to remove the trigger safety on mine. It kept being a bitch yesterday.

I'm cursed with everything airsoft related, really

I got a lemon then, because mine was really inconsistent.

Which is stupid, because you NEED that ring to mount the stock 😕

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I'M SO HAPPY! Fucking finally found a stubby M4 fixed stock with the fucking door! €24 posted from a San Marino retailer! Now, onto yet another handguard for the ARP-9...

Nowhere I'm afraid, I ordered it directly from Airtech (paid €18 including postage to Italy)

No clue. Could be the sear sitting too high?

Quickie before I place an order. What's the difference between TYPE 1 and TYPE 2 AEG pistons?

I would avoid those BFG ten speed style pouches. Just because being elastic they tend to lose strength over time, especially the cheaper ones from FMA/Emerson/Viper/Whatever.

SHS set from Pete acquired, now I can turn my ARP-9 into a proper wanker gun ❤️ In addition, I just bought an Airtech Studios hair trigger thingamajig for the G&G ETU which shortens the wank pull from the current 65 light years to roughly 2mm. Next is a drop stock.

I feel you. But outdoors they aren't an issue at all for me.. It's when the fuckers decide to take a peak in my living room that I go batshit crazy

My dad's knee looks the same, although he crashed while we were on a motorcycle trip. At first we thought the ligaments were gone, but the X-rays showed they're intact. Go get checked mate, hope it's nothing serious

I had really bad luck today. Woke up at 5 AM (slept 2 hours because reasons), met with my teammates and we drove 2 hours near Genoa for a "huge" game with all the clubs from the region. Super hyped, I took 5 guns with me: Specna M4, Ares Honey Badger, Ares Striker, Mk23 and AAP01. We arrive at the site, get dressed and line up for temperature test and chrono. 34.5° body temperature, apparently I'm a zombie or something but whatever. I notice something's off: the chrono the hosting team was using is an absolute piece of inaccurate shit. Tested the Striker: 1 reading at 1.00J, not allowed.. Shit, okay, Specna next. Same, 1 reading at 1.03J, not allowed. I know for sure that they both are well within the 1J limit, but heh, let's try the Amoeba, 0.96J.. Then my teammate who has a stock TM HC M4, 1st 5 readings were between 1 and 0.95J, he passed (lmao). At this point I'm getting tilted, I offer to use my chrono instead but they refuse. FINE, let's play with the honey badger. Pistols, though, weren't chronoed and I was literally the only one not running CO2. I'll let you guess how many people ended up bleeding because of that. We are divided in two large teams, each team has a base and a flag to defend, if one team snags the enemy flag, brings it back to its base and holds it for 20 minutes while still having its own flag, that team wins. Terrain is rough, steep climb for us to get to their base while the enemy has all the advantage in this world (guess where the hosting team was? Lol). Back to us, the game starts, I spot a column of reds who are trying to flank us, I switch to full, pull the trigger and suddenly hear the horrifying sound of a metal rack being chewed to shit. Cool, I get hit, go back to our base, ditch the rifle and spend the rest of the day sniping people with a mk23, with the AAP for close up full auto bukkakes.. Throughout the day I only managed to get a handful of kills, mostly because the people I shot with the mk23 (bar one, who called the hit on a clearly dry magazine), since they didn't hear gearbox winding or piston slapping, decided to NOT call those hits, despite visibly flinching when hit. We eventually manage to steal the enemy flag but the game ends right after. Overall it could have been a really fun day if they had a good chrono. Plugged the battery back in the specna, it clocks in at 95 m/s on 0.2s consistently 😕
