  1. Having unspent monies can lead to terrible things :(

      They're all gone in taxes already -.-

  2. So.

     

    A 15 yo tried to rob an off duty cop and his gf with a toy gun (doesn't specify if airsoft or IF), got schwacked pretty hard as he took one to the face, 2 to the chest and one in the arm, then got carried to the hospital where he later died.

     

    The boy already had troubles with the law, as did his father and one of his brothers. This episode happened in Naples, which is the same as Marseille but they all speak Italian.

     

    When the family heard about the boy's death, they literally destroyed the hospital's ER causing harm to personnel and other "guests".

     

    Now the mother is complaining that the cop, with an alleged firearm aimed at him, should have:

    1) recognized it was a toy gun, even if there was no red tip or anything, at 3 AM in what appears to be a rather dark street

    2) shoot the kid in the legs because of course he's gonna carefully aim at the kid's feet instead of putting as many shots as possible to neutralize the threat.

     

    Also her later in the news, when asked about her family being a bunch of criminals:

    "committing a crime or two is ok"

     

     

    This country is fucking beautiful xD

      Full disclosure, I know full well which one you mean, but I loves me a good debunking.

      This is how deep down the drain we have gone as a civilization.

      i dont think some of us can see the light anymore! :lol:

  3. Just break his wrist. Can't beat you if he can't hold a gun
  4. Until the mag decides to fuck itself into oblivion. I have yet to see a co2 mag lasting more than a couple of fame days.
  5. No way he's pulling a m160 with the stock cylinder without tearing it apart. Fun fact, the right side of the gun isn't even shown. Dreamer of the week confirmed.
  6. It's more of a temperature/energy output matter. I run a 50 and it lifts 0.4s just fine, but I am limited to 1J so I stick to 0.30s If you live in a cold area a softer rubber (50-60) is recommended over a harder one (75+) After all you're not going full auto at 50 rps chewing through it in a matter of days.
  7. I have too many LiPos and my phone doesn't last a day. So, for the exorbitant price of €5,50 I have just bought a LiPo to USB converter Will be useful for long tournaments as I don't have to buy, charge and remember a big power bank Link for those interested
  8. May I suggest to apply a small section of heat shrink to the cylinder head? I assume the leak happens between that and the hop rubber lips because I guess the latter are a tad too large. Or a dental floss mod (a really old school trick to have more consistent hop and a bit more air seal)
  9. Same. I was so hyped about it, but then: Price tag Proprietary everything Good fucking luck finding spares and magazines. The last bit of "innovation" was the NGRS series. Until P* comes out with their full auto Kythera. And maybe a recoil simulating HPA kit that doesn't cost €1000.
  10. Had a chance to try the TM scorpion (the modern design one) yesterday, a teammate bought it because apparently he didn't have enough TM stuff (he owns at least 5 recoils and he's been playing for less than a year).

     

     

    I'll be honest.

    It's utter shit.

    It really needed to be a GBBR and not a fucking AEP. Especially for the price.

     

    HPA could be the only way to fix it.

      What specifically was wrong with it?

       

      Was he running it on nimh or lipo?

      Overall performance wasn't impressive.

       

      Range was the main issue, I know it's an AEP and that the box has some quirks because of that. But having to overhop rather heavily to reach 30 metres seems a little excessive to me. I know it's meant to be a fancy electric pistol, but come on.

      Also because of the tiny cylinder 0.20s were as slow as the 0.4s I load in my Striker (1J build, you get the idea)

       

      I think he was using a LiPo because the trigger was rather snappy for an aep box and the rof was actually decent, not sure though, I'll ask.

       

      I love the looks, but it doesn't justify the €300ish price tag.

       

      the box has some evident limitations, so why an AEP instead of a GBB?

      You get a much snappier trigger, you can actually use a decent bb weight and you have the fun factor of the recoil impulse. Plus the huge magazines help a lot with gas efficiency...

       

      I have also just watched a p*'d skorpion m video. That's what the stock one should perform like.

      Thanks.  And I agree that it's a CQB gun: using it at range is a bit Quixotic.

  11. Needs to be functional though was thinking either a short fixed stock, a peq box on top for the battery and folding stock CCR style or no stock at all. Also this paint job. So ugly it's beautiful.
  12. TM G17, 2nd hand with a leaky mag and the BBU seems to return to battery a tad slow.

     

    yay or nay?

    Can probably snag it for less than €50

      A g19 would've been better (more compact) but hey.

       

      I'll try to fix the mag tonight and see what happens.

      Made a thread about it, so I can figure out what needs to be done :)

       

      I can do whatever I want with the gun even if I haven't bought it yet!

  13. Ugly as fuck Loud as hell Gonna be my new tournament gun. Will put all my efforts into making it as ugly as humanly possible. (Actually, if you have any ideas on making it more hideous, fire away)
  14. How much would you pay for a 2nd hand Ares CCR? considering they can be bought new for €130 ish

     

     

    Thinking of starting a Noisy Cricket project. Short gun but L O U D, so loud it'd scare the living fuck out of people.

      Mhm.

      Tested it, it's kind of shit and I'm pretty sure it needs a new motor.

      I think I'll pass and save some more for a brand new one.

      Do you know what FPS it's shooting at? I don't know how valid this information is as you're 1J only aren't you? In my CCP when I had it it needed about an M120 to make 320fps. Really calmed down and sounded less strained when I dropped in an M100.

      I have no clue. Will chrono both (his CCR and my frankengun) on Saturday. And yes, 1J limit

       

      It could be a big ass spring, could also be years of negligence, overall the CCR is pretty battered

       

      There is another possibility though, IF this guy wants to sell it anyway, I could swap boxes+motors (my good one goes into the CCR and his bad shit goes into my 009), so now he has a 009 to sell and I have a nice CCR with a perfectly functional and smooth internals.

       

      The only problem I can see with this option is the wire lenght. My box is rear wired, his is front wired. While for me it's not really a problem as I can easily cut down the wires, He needs some longer ones or a small extension.

       

      If that happens then I'm only paying idk, €30 for the body swap.

       

      And if the battery compartment can be detached (haven't tried yet) I could totally fit the ICS front end I have.

  15. Blowtorch like a man, and make sure to send them the full destruction video Posting it on here is a given
  16. Give me one reason to not buy a Visionking 1.25-5x26 scope!

      GPWM.

       

      I stand by the 1-4 being better though. And the Victoptics is FFP not SFP like the VK.

    3. Skara

      Skara

      Heh, I see :)

      FFP/SFP doesn't really matter to me. After all these devices won't make one shoot more accurately.

      I have found the Vict Optics you mentioned for €40ish, I guess I can give that one a try too!

       

      anyway, I have just found a €30 2x20 optic that could go on my mk23...

       

      Shit, I'm draining my bank account once again :(

      Visionking is excellent I have one as well

  17. But hey, all that extra Airtech Studios plastic must be worth something!
  18. Ordered a shoulder mic for the Baofeng. Also got a message from an eBay seller I bought a leaf suit from telling me the delivery might be delayed because of the virus. I demanded a free mask or a free virus as a compensation if the former isn't available. (Jokes apart, he's been very professional, offering me a refund. Decided not to, waiting 10 more days isn't a problem)
  19. I read it somewhere a few years ago. He has an European warehouse and an American one. Batches are sent to those 2 hubs and then delivered
