really? must say i'm surprised. been hit plenty of times in fingers, and i normally run fingerless gloves and never felt even close to breaking. not sure how you'd implement it real time, sure you can get those suppressor mounted chrono's but i guarantee most folk wouldn't want to be running those all the time, i sure as hell wouldn't.

not gonna lie if i'd been hit that hard i'd be watching the bugger like a hawk until he did get chrono'd. not that it should be necessary, unless you've got terminal osteoporosis or something like that a bb should not be breaking a finger. he's lucky that it was just a finger and not some poor rental kid's mesh mask.

you didn't call him out on that? it's ridiculous to be getting injured like that regardless of weapon type. in defence of hpa there are plenty of systems equally as amenable to either intentional (quick change spring on a scorpion for example) or unintentional (joule creep on a gbb) types of running hot, and there are hpa regs out there with tournament locks. however even as a fan of hpa i'll admit to there being plenty of cases where a sites lack of understanding lets people take the pee to ridiculous levels. for example the amount of places that see a low fps number and say "that's a bit low mate" even when i've told them i'm running heavy ammo and the chrono is showing the right joule value.

interesting insight. the hopup certainly is an almost magical hackery of physics, and it's pretty common for folk to be either over-hopping or underhopping then raging at how they aren't hitting their target. but once you figure out what it's doing and know how to work around it you can do some interesting things (like tilting the gun to compensate for wind or shoot round corners). there's definately a lot of stuff people do in airsoft i'd suspect they'd be much less keen on doing on a real battlefield when a 2 minute walk is replaced by eternity in a casket.

whilst i don't wear flecktarn much these days, i can vouch for it's impressive concealment properties, first time i'd had noticeable instances of "how did he not see me!?" when i started wearing that stuff.

Problem with 3-d camo is its horrific for shedding on the undergrowth, guy in our squad runs a kapkan covered in netting and he ends up leaving the stuff in every bush he comes across. That said, head and shoulders covered, park yourself in a bush and its gold. The big one i know i suffer from is not covering the face, although i dont play stealth that much anyway.

knew ye'd sell the kidney

see it'd be a nice looking gun if it had a flush barrel, always was my problem with the fnx's. i just wish tm would come out with something russian, we need an mp-443 in our lives.

welcome, those look like some epic playgrounds. wish we had stuff like that round here.

interesting hearing about the uar having mag problems, got one in to work on at the moment and none of my mags fit. can't say i see the problem with the flash hider, standard cc2 with a lock screw as far as i can see. fortunately the owner has a drum mag that fits it so guess that's not a problem.

Yeah but its under 400 on .48's so if anything it's underpowered.

agreed, if that's what you want from a pistol it's hard to defy the mighty hicapa

i suspect the technical limitations are going to be significantly less than the legal limitations. as in taking something that qualifies as "a gun" and turning it into something that is "not a gun" without the full blown de-activation process. of course i'm talking about the uk here, your milage may vary depending on where you are in the world.

what hop rubber? some hop rubbers (maple leaf for example) have longer feedlips which can mess with feeding and give weird symptoms. take a look up the feed tube and see how much of the hop protrudes into it

sounds like a great idea, a wee popup that says "are you sure, this thread hasn't been used in x years" would be great. not sure about warning other people though, part of the fun of forums is trying to be the first to spot a necro
