  1. Yo @Steveocee, you just ended up on Instagram in a KM name and shame post.

      "I'm surprised at the response, feels very forceful when he could have ignored me."

       

      It's his new double-hard-bastard persona that he's trying to monetise.  I pity him, really, but the sooner he's banned from every site in the UK the better.

      Who uses Twitter over Instagram? People who read books with words not pictures 🤓.

       

      If you have a privileged place on a platform, inspire people and you'll equally lift yourself as you lift others. Troll followers will turn on troll leaders in time as a newer more toxic troll emerges. This clickbait will dry out as each video becomes more indistinguishable from the last.

  2. Sorry for double quoting you. I have just ran a quick test during lunch break. Semi & full auto with a 7.4v LiPo. Misfires happen with both the 300rnd stick high cap and the CA X9 midcaps. With the latter I have to literally move the magazine back and forth to make it feed. Also tested the drum mag and it seems to be feeding properly. I have noticed that most of the misfires are actually double feeds, DOES THIS MEAN THE NOZZLE IS TOO SHORT? Shall I order 3-4 different nozzles and try them out? or is there a quicker/less expensive fix?
  3. I'll swap rubbers then, and hopefully test it on Saturday.
  4. Another quick question, yet again sorry in advance for not posting in red but I just can't do it on the phone. I am having some misfeeds with the ARP. It's not a mag problem, as I get them with the Drum, the standard crappy high cap and CA X9 midcaps. Every now and then one bb gets "peed" out. In some rare cases it appears the gun completely skips a bb (but chambers it on the very next cycle). I have replaced the broken stock nozzle with an identical one. I have also swapped the crappy G&G blue rubber with a prommy blue (swapping nubs too obviously). I am going to swap rubber to a G&G green one (with the internals sanded because I want to retain the flat hop setup). Could it be that the nozzle and the Prometheus rubber lips aren't compatible? Could it be a nozzle that is too long?
  5. Is anyone in the Sniper Ops Facebook group?

     

    If so, is it me or the content posted in said group is getting lamer and lamer every day?

      I don't have Facebook (trust me your life is better without it) but is every video titled "ghillie sniper destroys entire team gets banned and cheater punished" ?

      I only use it for those "XX owners" groups that are actually useful.

       

      It's more like the quality of posts and answers.

       

      And of course all the KM fanboys literally switching off their brains whenever the almighty God of being above the rules posts something.

  6. That is true, and I still firmly believe some San Marino shops deserve to burn and their owners being hanged from their testicles. Over the years some of my teammates had a number of bad experiences with some of SM shops, including not having a proper return policy, trying to avoid free repairs/replacements still within warranty, and one of them literally got scammed to shit when he paid €300+ for a TM G3 SAS and received a TM cardboard box with a 2nd hand JG g3 inside (no, that ain't bullshit, I was there when the guy received the package and opened it). Decided to take a leap of faith with Softair Games after reading about Asomodai having received what he ordered in a short time. Ordered some striker parts + a ETU upgrade kit and it got delivered within 24 hours, everything was in perfect shape. So yeah, SG is excluded from the "shops that deserve extinction" list. for now. For all the other stuff I need, I have my trusty Emperion ❤️ which also sends free patches with each order
  7. ODdly enough, OD is my team's official equipment camo for tournaments. But nobody gives a fawkes about it and we all run whatever we have xD Speaking of purchases. Just ordered a SMG insert, a small can of nuprol 2.0 and 3x CA X9 midcaps. €90 with 24h delivery from SoftairGames (in San Marino) If they perform well I'll buy 3 more
  8. Former roommate (now renter) is literally digging her own grave right now.

     

    I've always been kind and understanding towards her, letting her pay the rent way later than the usual date (because her dad gets paid on the 15th), not letting her pay for some shit she broke (like 3 door locks, a couple of handles and a window frame) and doing everything I could to fix problems without spending money.

     

    She's exactly 1 month late now for the rent, she has to pay some bills (which I always fully pay beforehand by my own pocket), she says her dad isn't getting paid.

    But her mom bought a €100+ plane ticket last week to visit her.

    I have nothing against a mother visiting her daughter, for God's sake kick me in the balls if I do, but i'm quite pissed with the "haven't paid the rent yet but I spent unnecessary money" mentality.

     

    I am now legally entitled to kick her ass out of my house. Which I will do if she pulls out any stupid excuse.

    I have around 3 years worth of proof of her paying LATE despite his family not being "economically challenged", but purely because of her mother's laziness.

     

    I may sound like a dick, but I'm getting tired of this situation.

     

     

    Plus I have proof of her boyfriend (which is also a renter) actively trying to delay some procedures to try and fuck me.

     

    Thoughts?

    Shall I proceed with the eviction procedure?

      Idk if I should, tbf.

      I mean, I could link her "work" IG account.

      I don't think you should (remark was made jokingly). Keep the moral high ground and only post nudes if you have them.

      Wasn't going to anyway :P

      Although her "work" account is public and literally anyone can take a look at it.

       

      Asked for an update on the rent, her dad hasn't been paid yet.

  9. Black Friday with exactly €19 in the wallet and 0 in the bank account.

      You're not exactly missing out on much.  Retailers jacking up their prices so they can make "massive" reductions that are ultimately maybe a couple of pounds cheaper than normal or in some cases more expensive than other retailer's normal pricing.  No thanks. 

    3. Skara

      at least you have something.

       

      I was going to write an awfully long post ranting about my former roommates not paying the rent on time, but I was getting too tilted (at one point I was about to cry) while typing.

       

       

      @djben9 I wasn't going to buy anything anyway, the things I need are not on discount or haven't been released yet :(

  10. What if I slightly file off some buckles to make them all cross compatible?

     

    I just need to remove a couple of extra parts and probably half a millimetre off a couple of female ones.

     

    Do I risk having to replace all the buckles?

      I was going to ask but you've already answered. Are we talking bearing the weight of kit or are we talking the weight of say a struggling adult that you've bound and are using buckles to secure?

      If option a, should be absolutely fine. If option b, structural integrity reigns supreme, you don't want to chance people getting loose and making authorities aware of your misdemeanours.

      I have industrial grade, 8mm thick zip ties and plenty of gorilla tape for that.

      Also can't break free if you're unconscio......what the fuck?

      😂

       

      Worst case I'll zip tie the shoulder straps to the rig with the ones mentioned above.

      Tried filing the buckles, didn't work.

       

      Ended up zip tying them :P

      Can't :(

      need to pick one :(

  15. Teammates always ask me to try my ssx and if it's worth. The answer is always: Yes you can try it, no it's not worth it. I'm still thinking of a decent response to KM that doesn't involve insults.

      This thread, I posted the screenshots from that FB link in there if you want to take a look.

       

      The FB post hasn't been removed though, but it's in a private group you many not be a member of (sniper ops), this would explain why you can't see it.

      I wish Helikon would follow suit and make one in their 'adaptive green' so it would match my chest rig from them

    3. Skara

      or an A-Tacs iX one so I can match my TMR ☹️

       

      Sent Emperion a message, asked if they could show me the pack rigged to a tmr to check if the buckles are compatible.

      I tried strapping my Condor hydration bag to it but for some reason the buckles aren't compatible.

      Condor male buckles fit too tight while the helikon ones don't lock.

       

      If they are kind enough to answer and they actually fit, i'll order one in either grey or OD and give it a paintjob to match the iX palette

  17. Perun ETU upgrade test tomorrow :)

     

    May even write a "first impressions" review.

  18. Found my old ICS inner barrel.

    185mm long, not sure about the diameter but I suspect a 6.08/6.05, has a nice grey finish, made of aluminium (or aluminum?).

     

    It's just 5 centimetres longer than my ARP inner (128mm, shit finish).

     

    Shall I go for a swap?

    1. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      ICS stock barrels are actually fairly good and definitely an upgrade on the ARP. It is Aluminium but very nicely made considering. 5CM will make a fair amount difference, you might want to check your FPS on full auto as the cylinder might not be matched.

      Swapped barrels, it falls just short of my sound hog.

      (Terribad pic, I know)

       

      If this setup ends up working well, I will get a 5.5cm barrel extension machined next week so the whole inner is covered and I can use a madbull gemtech can.

      It looks good with the trademarks and, in a minimal way, muffles the muzzle sound.

       

      Believe it or not but at range it actually worked on my old ICS.

       

      Also yeah, I'll have to check the fps and correct the cylinder volume ratio/cut down the spring.

  19. Nice view from my new office :P

  20. I have that shim in my Arp9, I used to have it in my 009 back when I had an aftermarket hop chamber and now I have to use one in my AS02. I'm trying to lift 0.30s with a 50° decepticon rubber and the Omega tensioner, while people easily lift 0.45+g BBs with the same setup.
  21. Small question regarding hop ups. Is it normal that I have to make a shim on every freaking hop chamber I have on my RIFs, otherwise they wouldn't apply enough pressure? Here's a quick terribad drawing, the shim is the blue part between the arm and the tensioner
  22. There is definitely something wrong. The gun now applies hop, but with the wheel all the way down it barely hops 0.3s. I think it's because the tensioner is too short and, just like every other hop up in my possession, requires a tiny shim made from half a biro cartridge. No biggie, as I have about a dozen of those already made from old standard tensioners it's just a matter of dropping it in between the arm and the tensioner itself.
