Look its 18 inches with a tmi of only 4 that can only have minimal statistics for girth, angle of attack, tip gyration centre etc.

ahh, so we're talking a low angle of attack noodle then

ahh but what's its TMI score?

did you not see my sneaky link

so for my version, i'm thinking big, super big. a giant milsim, draft in an aircraft carrier from the navy and take over a couple of coastal cities. the civilian populations of the cities are all given eyepro and chronographs and aside from checking players nearby for cheating they're to go about their daily business unless they wish to interact with the players. any civilian owned firearms in the game area are replaced with airsoft equivalents that may be taken and used by players, any damage to civilians personal property (broken doors/windows, items taken by players etc) will be replaced after the event. the game mode is a counter insurgency type deal, the opfor team gets to start in the mountains nearby and players can commandeer whatever they want from the local populace (eg rock up to a farm and nick the farmers pickup to make a technical) blufor gets to start on the aircraft carrier and can use the carriers comms, boats and helicopters for transport (which will be operated by elbonian military personell to ensure safety) blufor's job is to find and destroy opfor, opfor's job is to survive as long as possible and inflict as much damage to blufor as possible using any techniques they see fit. fps limits are based on weapon class: pistol calibers- 0.75j no minimum engagement distance for semi or full auto intermediate rifle calibers- 1.3j, semi in buildings but otherwise basically uk rules full power rifle calibers- 2.3j with 20m MED or 30m for support guns extra high power calibers- 3.5j with a 40m med (eg barrets, m2's etc) no rof limit but this will be somewhat controlled by the ammo limit. all magazine capacities are limited to their real-world counterparts, no limit on the number of magazines a player can carry. extra loose ammunition may be carried but dummy rounds are given on a per-round basis. eg if you're happy to carry around a 250 round belt of 5.56 you get to carry 250 bb's to reload your m4 mags, you are only permitted to drop the dummy ammo when also dropping/firing the respective amount of bb's. all ammo will be geoffs .48g bb's which be supplied at the event (as this is known ahead of time it's the players responsibility to ensure their gnu can lift that weight) explosives are handled by physical effect or 5m radius eg a pea grenade kills' everyone in a 5m radius and anyone outside who gets struck by a pea. a supply of TAG grenades (both thrown and launched) will be provided to both sides at the start of the game. hard cover does count although breakables such as doors/windows do not count. protective equipment is down to the players discretion- ie if they don't want to wear face protection then they must also accept the risk of personal injury. medic rules are single hit revives by assigned medics- only medics can revive players and each player can only be revived once. players cannot move on their own once hit but can be carried by other players to a medic. medics cannot heal each other (so they will be a prime target) deaths are permanent- elbonian military personell acting as marshalls will occasionally sweep and escort "dead" players from the field replacing them with mannequins. players are required to leave their equipment (guns, webbing, ammo etc) with the mannequins. mannequins may be cleared by the civilian populace during quiet periods. any subsequent damage or loss of players equipment is considered part of the game (ie players know they might lose their toys). once off the field "dead" players may return home or stay and watch the event, if a player willingly quits the game (due to fatigue, personal life commitments etc) then a "dead" player may re-enter to replace them if they so desire on a first-out first-in basis. the event will be free to enter as a player, however prospective players must pass a lie detector asking them if they intend to cheat during the event, that they understand the rules and accept the potential risks. intentional cheating during the event will, if caught (remember there will be more marshalls than players with every civilian acting as such), result in immediate and permanent banishment (ie they will never step foot on elbonian soil again) i'm sure there are a lot of plot holes i've missed, but you get the general idea edit: unfortunately my traitorous underling who i put in charge of organising and managing this event forgot to tell any of the civilians that the event wasnt real so they spent the first few days terrified of all these terrorist looking blokes running around nicking their stuff and threatening to shoot them.

bit of a tricky one. what type of box is it? if it's a standard v2/v3 then you could feasably use an internal mosfet and re-wire just the trigger externally (i'm thinking of something like an ascu where there's a convenient microswitch) otherwise it's a case of a microswitch under the col, but getting it to trip and wait for the trigger reset rather than re-engaging the moment the sector rolls over is beyond my electrical knowledge.

yeah but good luck finding magazines

yeah you're gonna need a new charger. the skyrc s65 seems to be the current flavour of choice: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/skyrc-s65-ac-charger-65w/rc-car-products/438918 of course you might want to try and find a local danish supplier rather than deal with whatever the export system for the uk is now.

ooh harsh, so basically cod zombies but with unwilling participants?

sounds like the battery is dead. nimh's don't age well and one of the things they'll lose is their current supplying capacity. the voltage might read ok but it still can't supply the juice to crank the motor over. the motor twitching at all means it still works, the only potential issue there is if the polarity is reversed it'll still twitch against the anti reversal latch no matter how good the battery is turning it. the first thing i'd be looking at is a new battery, that'll eliminate one variable from the problem, of course there may be other issues but can't know that for sure just yet.

so lockdown has spawned some pretty serious threads so maybe we should balance it out with something totally stupid. so the king is dead, long live the king- you. you are now the god-king of elbonia, your wish is your people's command. mud exports are proving profitable and your resources are practically limitless, your people loved the previous king for bringing such prosperity and will follow your counsel. so what do you do for airsoft when you can do what you like? the law is your word so you wanna change fps limits? fine you wanna clear out an active power station to play cqb? just order the workers to leave you wanna do a milsim with real civilians? well go right ahead wanna give all your airsoft buddies solid gold systemas to play with? no problem. wanna hire a marshall for every player? sure wanna throw cheaters in the gulag? go for it the only limits are what is physically possible (ie no magic), and your imagination. so what would you do with airsoft in your country? if you want a bonus challenge, then the underling you assign to carry out your commands is a traitor and wants to subtly ruin your plans- what does he do to foil you? edit: should clarify that while elbonia isn't a large country but it does have a lot of varied terrain and somewhat extreme seasonal weather variation, so you should be able to get a reasonable facsimile of any region you like from dry desert to snow capped mountains.

100% this the real skill in teching is getting a good gun to shoot well on "inferior" (put a lot of weight on those quotation marks) parts. unfortunately some folk make the mistake of thinking that more expensive parts=better parts when the reality is even a well-made high quality part can absolutely ruin a gun if it's not the right part for that build. for example that gearbox shell might be superbely made and exactly to spec but if that spec isn't exactly the same as the reciever it's going into then the hop might not line up, the body pins might not line up just right or the motor alignment might go out but only when you tighten down the stock screw or something along those lines. i mean it's entirely possible to have a £2k+ gun be incapable of hitting the broad side of a barn if it's not setup correctly. as an answer to the compression problem personally i'm a big fan of these nozzles: https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/nozzles/ec-m4-metal-nozzle-double-oring-21mm although they're out of stock at the minute.

dude's got committment, you gotta respect that

There are some options, but be careful when picking the repro zenitco stuff as the handguard dimensions on some patterns of ak are different to others and even when it is the "right" type you may need to crack out a file to get it to sit snug.

Even worse is it could be an m4 mag adaptor in it too, that or a drum. I'm not against the concept of a stocked pistol but tbh the carbine kits you get now seem the better alternative for practical usage.

Whats worse is i suspect that thing will be ordinarily fed from a hpa adaptor because thats a lot of optic on the slide to be cycling..... Edit: and thats assuming its a non-tilt barrel because thats a lot of can......

8 mids i can understand, but 8 hicaps? only reason i can see that working is if there is literally no other magazine type available.

could be feedlips, or could be the mag, hpa's tend to be a fair bit more demanding on feeding. i'm not familiar with the wolverine systems but you might have an fcu setting that controls how long the nozzle stays back for which could help feeding at the expense of rof.

tbh the side rail looks pretty decent as-is. if it were me i'd lose the torch and if possible the side section of rail. if you wanna go the tactical route then some repro zenitco on the frontend will give you somewhere to mount a torch to (which will also be more convenient for activation)

dont wanna go drilling into the wood. really hard to find a pic of what i'm meaning but something like the laser positioning of these:

ahh the greatest spirit of the ak, if it don't fit imma make it fit tbh i'm currently hunting for a way to get a wee stub of rail mounted between the gas block and barrel so i can get me 2dp side-mounted there and can go back to the original handguard.

ooh, been a while since i seen an nicd in the wild..... as a very, very rough guide a 7.4 lipo is gonna give you equivalent (indeed a bit more) poke than that 8.4, although with lipo's you do need to take a bit more care with charging. if the guns you've got could take that monster nicad then tbh you have a lot of options. however if you're selling them, then tbh i wouldnt necessarily worry all that much as generally batteries don't really add much, if anything, to a sale (especially if they don't come with associated charging equipment).

yeah i just couldn't miss the opportunity to point it out don't worry, you're in good company, like i say some of us never shoot the same gun twice

fucking called it
