Skara

Last weekend we took part to the National Finals...
 
A 26h nonstop game that lasted from 8 AM on Saturday to 10 AM on Sunday. 1200-1700m above sea level elevation.
 
Overall performance wasn't the best but we didn't really care, we went for the experience, in any case we ended up 15th out of the 20 strongest teams in country..
 
Few things learned (kinda, some I already knew):
 
- the right clothing is crucial to not end up like a popsicle, in particular it got VERY cold Saturday night/early Sunday morning with temperatures just above 0°. I had packed a puffy jacket just in case and it turned out to be a lifesaver during pauses from marching/playing. Started with just my combat shirt on, added my thermal baselayer and windshirt at dusk and kept it this way throughout the night. A beanie was used too, whereas my gloves stayed in the backpack at all times.
 
- thermal sights are OP, in fact combat objectives went so much better at night than during the day.. NV would have been nice in some instances, but we made do without.
 
- I need a lighter poncho, the one I have is so heavy I left it in the car (took the gore-tex shell instead), on Saturday morning we had rain so heavy it felt like I had jumped in a pool in full kit  luckily it was windy too, so I dried up pretty quickly..
 
- with these temperatures I only drank 3 litres of water in total.
 
- Proper boots do make the difference, I don't think I would have been able to get to the end with my old Crispis... The new La Sportivas are much lighter, much softer on road/paths and definitely more breathable.
 
- I barely ate anything, just one energy bar and some dried fruit along with a hot dog at our own objective (sort of a one-use safe space)..
 
- New backpack is awesome, it's the right size for these events (15 litres) while being mega comfortable.
 
We still have plenty of room for improvement, should we qualify next time we'll try to be more motivated and more prepared, both physically and mentally.

take smol cylinder, take very sharp knife, get them to know each other....
profit.

Probably because there is less "length" to go wrong compared to a longer one.
 
In the wall of text I deleted I mentioned how my 5" M4 is way more consistent than it was with a 10" barrel, essentially achieving the same, if not slightly more range.
And the 5" is just a cut down and recrowned Guarder barrel I had while the 10" is a prommy 6.05...

I was going to write a wall of text to respond and debunk, but...
 
If a long barrel is betterer than a short barrel, then explain the Mk23...

Things got that bad, at one point I ended up talking to my wife🧙‍♀️🧹

Half Life. impulse101 was a console command to give all weapons and ammo
 
Then a retailer in Japan decided to use it, so I dropped the 101 to try and avoid confusion...

As if I didn't have enough kit...

Bought this in "military green", hopefully I can test it before the upcoming national finals, it'll replace the Tasmanian Tiger Essential..

Should have just gone all imersive stick a gillie suit on and shit your pants like the well trained pretend sniper elite soldier you are.

Eeh, first game after summer break went well.
 
Nothing interesting to say about performance, I've had the shits all week and I'm not in top shape, but I'm glad I managed to play and not turn into a puddle of feces.
 
Gun/gear wise, finally tested the new pdw and yeah, I'm happy with it.
Throws 0.32s over there at 27 RPS with a reasonable degree of efficiency, considering it's running a 3t short stroke and a M95 spring.

I have to think that this belongs here.
 
I want to know how exactly it gets to this price, doesn't mention the base MK23 it's built off (probably a cheap ASG?) 
 
The shell adapter is about £100 new so where's the rest of the cost, and why is there only one photo that doesn't even show the entire thing? 😶

Certified dreamer moment:
 
Managed to sell the SMERSH for €150 posted....
 
 
I paid 70 for it....

Peruns are easy to programme.

Santa came mega early this year...

The SHS nozzles I bought a while ago were supposed to be 21.3 but they turned out to be 21.5 and change..
 
Length also depends on the hop unit, hop rubber and inner barrel, some combinations love short nozzles, others want longer.
 
For example the Maxx TE hop I have in my pdw says it wants 21.25mm tops but ran fine on the aforementioned 21.5mm shs nozzle for a while.

Plenty of threads already on sorting out the power and various issues.
 
It could be the cylinder (doubt it, that thing should be good up to 360mm barrels), it could be the nozzle timing, nozzle length, nozzle air seal, hop unit fitment, hop rubber lips, general compatibility between these parts. Could be the tappet plate, delayer chip, tappet plate spring, tappet plate compatibility with the gearbox shell, number of teeth removed off the sector gear.....
 
All the info we have is the cylinder size and barrel length..
 
 
I reckon it's time to write an article on the matter and then copypasta it everywhere....

Been planning this for a while & happy with the outcome, still need to find a switchset... when I find it.
 
disclaimer... They liked them big in the early 80's, I feel the need to grow a 70's porn tash now tho.

Must be the King Arms box being a little off spec.
Had a similar issue when trying to fit a Retro Arms gearbox inside my now deaded KA PDW. It went in a little weird.
 
Lancer Tactical should use the same OEM as Specna, Dboys and such, so I expect them to be pretty much as standard as it gets whereas King Arms seems to be doing its own thing altogether.

how so?
