i must admit, if there's a benefit other than that i'm not 100% sure what it is. unless forcing the piston to impact slower is better for noise? although i'd have assumed a lighter piston would be easier to slow down.

that's because you're a toxic member who doesn't contribute anything to this forum. oh wait, sorry wrong guy...... i dunno, apparently being new isnt the problem:

budget would be handy. tbh this sounds like a job for a cyma platinum or a g&g

i can only assume it's for people who want to play paintball, but don't like the pain. for me part of airsoft is the fact we can dress up and have realistic looking gnu's, otherwise i would just play paintball.

see how much better the world is when we can have open and reasoned debate where we respect each others opinions fortunately the limitations of the internet prevent it being obvious that i couldn't type that with a straight face

lockdown has us all bored, plus we haven't been out shooting to grumble about what really needs to be addressed: speedsofters

righto, dunno where he's at but you never can tell with forums folk can be on at all sorts of hours.

fair enough, i thought when you used the term "conveniently deleted" you were inferring a cover up or something. btw who do you mean when you say Ed? if you're meaning avenger then i don't know his IRL name.

i can't say i'm sold on the idea of the moderation team acting as part of a conspiracy, they tend to be pretty impartial here. you're conveniently forgetting to mention the bit where me and @Skara offered you a fair trial. i mean as fair as any other witch trial was having a nice relaxing bath, and whilst my z5 might have been waterproof out of the box i ain't so confident it's waterproof now.....

are you meaning perhaps in the ad? because i ain't seeing what you're referring to in this thread. looks like the comments have been moderated and the discussion directed here, without seeing them i can't tell if you have a point or not.

you mean this convo? lets run through it shall we: original callout, just mentioning the price is expensive for what it is, which isn't unknown for this particular seller who often will link to websites in his own ads that are selling the same gun for cheaper than his price. bit of side banter playing devils advocate and defending the pricing (part of the open debate this thread is meant to have) both countering the points raised by albiscuit, again open debate and presented in a non-offensive manner. and this is the one i'm guessing you're meaning, where it is theorised (but not explicitly stated) that the gun was bought cheaper than it's being sold for, whilst also stating that there's no rule against this practice. granted there's an expression of distaste for the practice of acting as a trader via the forums, which is an opinion that can be argued to be entirely reasonable, although in this case stated with the help of memes in the banter-laden fashion that is common to this thread. i seem to be missing the bit where the toxic bullying happened?

i've tried those, problem is the gun just tends to pull the whole rig into an awkward angle which is just as annoying. neckscarf or even better a jacket with a hood are good for preventing slings sawing your head off.

yeah, we've had to add a customs branch since brexit. and if they do (outside of people just posting for a laugh) it tends to get pounced on pretty quick, eg:

Its certainly a lot prettier than some of the combinations people put on their hicapas.

This thread is certainly an unusual setup, but its purpose is to highlight to prospective buyers what acceptable pricing for secondhand gear should be so they dont unwittingly get ripped off. It also shows sellers the issues that might lead to them not getting much demand for the items they're selling be it price, poor description, bad images etc. Sometimes folk just dont realise how an ad appears to a prospective buyer. It works both ways though, if someone drops an ad in here that's actually fair then that point will be raised too. For example the debate about avenger's fal has multiple perspectives going on. Of course it is steeped in banter, but nothing worse than you're going to encounter at your local site. But if someone is willing to take on criticism then it's a helpful environment, if they arent then it's open season for a bit of entertainment.

mate i wouldn't go admitting that in public

Dick move for sure, but only bought on methinks by the somewhat unlikely circumstance of messaging the wrong guy.

ahh yes, ducking with a modern twist, i like it.

eh, gun teching is always a rocky road. you'll get there might just take a while.

I'm down for a good ol' witch burning. How we doing the trial? Ducking stool or red hot rocks?

I'm not sure i'm down for mixing ebay and the classifieds. If i want to use ebay then i'll just go look there. But i preferr the forum environment as the community side of things generally yeilds much better security for both buying and selling.

Now now play nice

At its simplest more volts=more speed At least so long as the battery can supply the current. Multiply the c rating of the battery, by the capacity of the battery in amp-hours (mah is milli amp hours so divide by 1000) to give you the rated current. Eg for a 25c lipo: An 800mah can put out 20a A 1200mah can put out 30a Change it to 30c and the current output goes to 24 and 36 amps respectively. If the current draw of the motor is more than the battery then it'll limit the speed it can reach whilst simaltaneously doing bad things to the battery. Of course generally batteries can supply a much higher burst current safely but i wouldnt personally rely on that. I remember once running an asg 40k motor on an 800mah 25c and fortunately as it was just a range shakedown i stopped before the battery was really damaged, but in-game could easily have cooked it. That same motor on a 1500mah 25c didnt cook the battery although it did cook my hands, the gears, the wiring and several pistons..... As a general rule theres no downside to having a higher c rating or capacity as long as the battery is good quality and physically fits the gun. As skara says often i find stock boxes on a decent 11.1 can put out respectable rof that generally isnt an issue mechanically unless the gun has a super weak spring (pretty common with shoddy fps downgrades) certainly it's what i'd be running. only reason my main ak runs 7.4 is because you try stuffing an 11.1 down the hole in a railed gas tube

Or looking vaguely like someone else.
