suppose that boils down to making cheating/cheat calling a full on legal battle, which is Billy Mitchell levels of sad..... even if you won it wouldn't change people's perceptions of km, people will choose to either believe he's a sniping god in a world of cheaters or he's a liar who spins tales to get that sweet sweet ad revenue.

Apart from the heavier piston side of things it's pretty much all done in the name of a higher rate of fire. It's a debhilitating condition that starts with fast motors, evolves to short-stroking but if left unchecked can lead to dsg builds. The final stage of the illness is scrapping the gearbox entirely and fitting a hosepipe to it at which point there's nothing for it but a good ol' fashioned witch burning. Man that post got increasingly off-brand as it proceeded

Is there an argument to be made via merchandising then? He does use his videos as an advertising tool for his own products and the people featured in the video as "cheaters" are being used to bolster the persona of km as a player who's skills, strategies, and therefore equipment are worth using/learning from? This kind of copyright law isnt exactly my strong point so i'm not sure how well that kind of scenario would be covered. Doesnt really matter either way, it'll be a case of videos getting pulled and by the time yt makes a decision either way people will have stopped caring.

essentially making a claim that because the video features him that it's his copyright and anyone who posts it is infringing on that copyright. it's meant to be for music or tv shows that just get straight up ripped into youtube but in this context it's being used to silence criticism as the video tends to get immediately pulled while youtube/facebook decides if it's a ripoff or not. thing is, if a copyright claim is made fraudulently (people are allowed to use others work for "fair use" and criticism/commentary afaik is part of that, or if the used sections are short) then it can backfire massively on the one making the claim (we're talking youtube pulling your channel kind of backfire)

it's presumably to try and make people think they're using a proper engineering material like pa66 rather than bulking out their cheese mix with some sand they found on the floor.

not really seeing anything that's much of a revelation, but then if you genuinely believed airsoft video hit markers are accurate then you're probably a fan of many youtube channels. km is by no means the only one to do this and unless you actually see the bb land or the target call hit and walk off the field wether it's in video or in real life then you can't claim otherwise. hell even if you do see the target call hit and walk off the field doesn't mean you hit them, it just means something hit them at approximately the right place and time for them to call hit. as for doing it for the views/admonies? well that's no surprise, even novvy boy straight up admitted to playing the youtube game. i have no problem with the notion of spinning fantasies to create drama, but if you're trying to hide the fact so you can boost your reputation at others expense? well that's just not cricket.

I Blame Mgs4 With This Pickup!
Adolf Hamster replied to TheFriendlyBro's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Gonna have a look, was looking socomtactical had the brown grip version for 120. Although now i'd probably just put the black grip on. I reccommend a ml macaron and some geoffs .32's for instant hilarity in a pocket sized package. -

The pmm grip is pretty comfy, personally i preferr it. Where'd you grab it? I'm in need of a new slide and its almost as cheap just to buy the whole pistol. -
Taiwangun Shipping Disruption (Brexit Related Content)
Adolf Hamster replied to Speedbird_666's topic in General Discussion
could be a specifically bad batch they got? i mean airsoft qc is a lottery at the best of times. i very rarely use a pistol at all and when i do it's generally because my rifle's out and i can't be bothered going to refill mags. other than that maybe for a bit more free movement when hedgelurking but that's a one shot wonder kind of situation. -
Confused About Legally Owning an Airsoft Gun
Adolf Hamster replied to toooldforthis's topic in UK Law
if you think you're too old to play you aint, find an outdoor site, park yourself in a hedge and let the young ones come to you, all that running about means they'll only be tired when you shoot them otherwise the main thing is to be sensible, joe bloggs spots someone messing around with a gun shaped object it's gonna be awkward questions wether you're a regular player with an up to date ukara or not. -
Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Adolf Hamster replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
i beleive there's meant to be some argument for it being better for snap shooting, although i can't say i agree. if the dot has good parallax then it feels like having the window as close to the eye as possible to give the largest field of view is superior. of course the other reason on the ak specifically is that the gas block mounts are deemed more stable than a hinged top cover and the fixed top covers/siderail mounts can make access for maintenance a pain. -
Confused About Legally Owning an Airsoft Gun
Adolf Hamster replied to toooldforthis's topic in UK Law
you can sell it on here, you just need to make sure whoever's buying it has a defence. the defence technically speaking is being an airsofter, but the most common/well recognised way of proving that is the UKARA scheme. there are other defences such as film/media or re-enacement although i'm not so up on the specifics of those. of course a lot of folks are going to be having expired ukara's at the minute thanks to COVID. a side option is just keep it, maybe think about going for a game when we get let out to play, it's a fun hobby. -

Adolf Hamster replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
that's a red dot mounted to the rear sight block (the ad being for the mount that clamps onto the rear sight block on an aksu) whats odd as @alxndrhll correctly identified is the fact the front sight block is right against the trunnion. that's gotta be what, a 4" barrel tops? -

An Interesting Take From a 'Real Steel' Perspective
Adolf Hamster replied to alxndrhll's topic in General Discussion
yes in a state of full on civil war where there's enough divide that some or all of the military turns to the other side it's irrelevant. but in a situation where the divide isn't so strong and the military stays on the side of the majority of the population then it's a different story, like the whole storming the capitol thing or the rush area 51. -
Spartan09s Planned Charlton GBB Project
Adolf Hamster replied to Spartan09's topic in General Discussion
agreed, tbh i'd be as much an advocate of staying green gas, no line and it's not like you'd expect this thing to be going toe to toe with everything on the field performance wise. -
hey we all had to start somewhere. if you sort the compression and it's good with the usual checks then there's also the possibility it's blow-by at the hop.

Spartan09s Planned Charlton GBB Project
Adolf Hamster replied to Spartan09's topic in General Discussion
i was thinking about something like that, afaik that's how the m14 does it (with a reversed "lockup" so it's the bolt actuating rather than the other way round) thing is it'd be effectively short stroked as with a fixed bolt protrusion like that it's gonna clip the reciever before the bolt has gone all the way back. maybe a livable option though, you wouldn't notice when shooting and it would only show when racking it. -
fair enough, i forget sometimes that i'm the one not in sync with the rest of the world's sleeping patterns lol.
