Bac British Airsoft Club an Alternative to UKARA
Adolf Hamster replied to Jaylordofwaargh's topic in General Discussion
is it just me or does it read like they want you to have attended 3 different sites? because whilst i'm pretty well known with at least 2 sites (one of which i dont play at any more) i'd have to actively go out and play a third..... tbh this just seems like another ukaralike setup, tbh i'd rather see the actual ukara system getting used a bit more and being a bit better organised. for a start ukara seems to be the only defence people unfamiliar with airsoft are going to stand a chance of being aware of (for example ups) so any other system is going to need that same recognition before it becomes remotely useful. -
after several years, finally had to replace a part on the odin

Yeah you're probably right, it is quite a 'load bearing' part, especially at the point at which the clutch essentially disengages when the magazine is full. Having said that, in this design you probably want these replaceable weak points to be able to break, so that you can easily and functionally replace them when need be.
Been thinking about purchasing a 3d printer actually, not really looked into it in much detail or know where to start and at what kinda price point. -
-
Right, so my brother works at a place which used to be the UKs biggest rapid prototyping / industrial scale 3d printing labs... technically not anymore as they have been taken over by Siemens, so I guess their German now 😅.
They can print with powders of pretty much any material you want, both metals and polymers. Big massive rapid prototypers half the size of rooms. So yeah anything I suggest to him, he throws some elitist shade at

well we tried the betelgeuse way, didnt seem to work so maybe we need to do the biggie smalls way

Thought tou had to be looking in a mirror when you said his name for that to work?

It wouldnt be the worst assumption to hope the cyma svd and svu use the same nozzle length. You can mod them yourself although you really want to be using a proper lathe to do it properly, i've done it with the polarstar jack nozzle bit theres no reason you couldnt do an f2 nozzle (the f2 being the platform i'd reccommend for a dmr build) Maybe wolverine does something similar, just cant say for certain as my experience is all polarstar stuff but my intuition thinks its a similar story.
-
Nozzle length is the big problem methinks. Not sure what the box style is on the cyma, last svd aeg i worked on was i think a king arms and was 100% weird internally. Most manufacturers will offer some range of nozzles, but this may be limited. Best option is to figure out what the closest equivalent is and going from there. I'm not too familiar with the wolverine stuff but i know polarstar will make you a custom nozzle for the f2 if you need it, add the universal trigger board wired into the stock contacts and should be able to make something of it.

Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Adolf Hamster replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
To play devil's advocate to your devils advocate (does that make it a double or anti devil?) The ad has been up for a fair while, it doesnt take 15 hours to take a couple of snaps on a mobile and upload them. I'm not saying the gun he's selling is actually in bad condition or anything, i'm saying thats the reasonable and safe assumption people are going to quickly draw from that ad not having proper pics. Which for a £550 price tag is gonna be more risk than most are gonna accept. -

See the moment i see that, the first thought that springs to mind is "the one he's selling must be in shit condition" Thats actually worse than no photos because he's demonstrated the capability of taking them. -
Yeah, thats whats making me think he's done the same again.
-
Think he's hiding because he doesnt like being reminded that he cant go shooting with lockdown.
-
Yeah, i found whilst the range and accuracy with the super heavies was fantastic, realistically i'm just not able to shoot that well with a pistol so was kinda pointless. Run her on .32's these days, nice middle ground.
-
it's a case of quality and QC i've not used the shs plastic ones but they seem to be well liked, and perhaps a nice switch from a standard type. the advantage of the rotary style is finer adjustment for the likes of flat/r/maple leaf style hops that have a smaller "sweet spot" for lifting. the maxx unit is very nice, but perhaps not worth the money unless the rest of the build is already pretty well dialed in to take advantage of it.
-
Fair enough. Maybe its just an ad-hoc thing then. I assumed they'd lean to spring cutting as it would presumably save money.
-
Interesting the lct was for sure cut down. Unless maybe it was an e&l downgraded gun? The one i picked up recently (granted from the classifieds) had the e&l downgrade paperwork and was a brand new spring. As i said i dont put much store in it, theres no substitute for having your own chrono to be sure its kosher before you hit the field.
-
can't comment on TG but gunfire seems to cut the stock spring down, they do a decent enough job tbf. it's just a thing i've seen on a couple of guns now- stupid hot springs with a hole drilled in the cylinder. needless to say the piston head was not in a pretty state.....

i see @L3wisD is on top of that scam. begs the question where (or possibly why) did this guy get 3 nearly identical evo's filled with a very similar list of shiny parts? i feel like placing bets on them shooting worse than a stock evo..... -
i assume it's easier for them to offer 310 as this is not only uk but also a bunch of other places (ireland for example) being a serial tinkerer i'm only really concerned with the potential legal issues, often i've seen 1j rated stuff putting out about 0.5j so i tend to just assume a spring change is gonna be required. on a side note: manufacturers/techs/retailers who "downgrade fps" by drilling holes in things please just stop, it hurts my soul on a fundamental level.....
-
what bucking you running? i'm running a green autobot and with a rubber shim under the hop arm it'll lift even .48's (and bulge the nozzle every other mag ) effeciency wise i havent found much, you could look at aftermarket piston heads, i kind of heath-robinson'd a cowcow one with a chunk o ring and a lot of sanding and whilst it's definately helped the warm effeciency (as in ability to run more than 1 mag) i've yet to try it in the cold. really need to get this refinishing done.....
-
that's standard UPS procedure, they did it to me for a bloody f2000 hop unit, the form is a pain. you don't have to put a ukara on it for non ukara parts but if you have one it probably won't hurt. kinda sad it takes it 2 days the cross half the planet and 2 weeks to get out of their depot.....
-
this is my normal response, but generally i'm aiming somewhere a little less sensitive. last time i gave a bang kill it was that close, had the barrel of the makarov against the guys shoulder, although granted an 0.75j gun into a padded webbing strap is a totally different kettle of fish. you did the right thing (annoying as i'm sure it was to go through), a little compassion for the poor sod on the recieving end goes a long way.
-
Iirc the pdi i'm running is usp compact length, 75mm sounds about right
-
out of those 2 my preference would be the titan, but i'm kinda meh on the whole subject of optical mosfets these days.

there is always an element of confusion, if your hand isn't up and you're walking back to your lines then it's reasonable to expect folk on your own team will be expecting the enemy to be coming towards them from that direction and will quite reasonably shoot at the first bush that twitches. hell this happened to me yesterday and was a clear-cut case of mistaken identity (he apologised, i took the mickey out of him for being an idiot, all was well and good) as with all things in this game it's contextual, legit cases of accidents or mistaken identity aren't anything to get worked up about, it's only when folk are being especially ignorant or intentionally malicious that it can get aggravating.
