  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  3. 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!

  4. 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)
  5. 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.

  6. Blowtorch like a man, and make sure to send them the full destruction video Posting it on here is a given
  7. 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

      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

  8. But hey, all that extra Airtech Studios plastic must be worth something!
  9. 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)
  10. 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
  11. Considering Nov's European warehouse is in Austria......... We need a "Macks 5000iq Awards" thread
  12. Who cares if he scammed someone. You're here, you won't scam anyone. Period. Forum police reporting in.
  13. I can hear the REEEEs from here. You're trying to scam someone into buying a 2nd hand piece of shit as if it was 2 fucking new ones from the retailer. Actually way more than new. It's not even HPA'd. Not even upgraded. Not even including the optic. And btw glide rings aren't an upgrade. Good luck with that, especially now that the new SSG10 is literally less than half the price you're asking for. You sir are a joke, a bad one I'd say.
  14. It's 750 of you want the scope. Such a bargain. Kappa
  15. It's a general rule that applies to everything, not only airsoft related stuff. Now don't get me wrong, one can ask whatever price he wants, and he may got lucky and sell an used item for its full retail price (or even higher as I did with my first AEG, made a hefty €50 profit out of it, buyer was particularly mentally challenged), but if he does then he can't complain about being showcased here.
  16. Is it me or eBay prices have skyrocketed?

    Plus many items I was following can't be shipped to Italy anymore.

    The fock's happening?

      All the US based items can't be shipped anymore, UK based items went from €15~ shipping to 40+

      And all the Chinese shit I had in my watching list now cost as much as buying them locally.

      I am tempted to buy from Aliexpress but I have no idea how good of a website it is.

      Bought a few things from Aliexpress & DHGate, haven't had any issues with my orders. Even asked to cancel an order & refund once, it was done quite promptly. Stick with the larger sellers with actual reviews and you should be fine

      right now might not be the best time to order, might get huge delays, ive been waiting for batteries for a month now and theyve still not touched down in UK

  17. Kryptek highlander leaf suit, not a 100% colour match to my field (at least in the pictures) but nothing a bit of spray paint can't fix. I just hope it doesn't come with a free virus as a gift
  18. 12cm barrel extension for the ARP (bought one a while ago but it was too short) madbull black python 229x6.03 inner (I hope it's the 2nd gen as the 1st one is shit) still for the ARP.
