ffs shut up dude, i had them fooled with the long con

this is why i like the forum environment, gives you a better feel for the person you're buying/selling with. i'm much less dubious of buying from someone i see posting regularly and being part of the community. of course its understandable that the likes of ebay etc are going to have that extra layer of paranoia surrounding them.

As much as i'm against scammers and have sympathy for their victims, posting the guys bank details for all and sundry seems a tad ott no? I mean we've already named and shamed the guy so folk should know to avoid.

Quite possible, as with all eye pro though the only way to be sure is to nab someone with a bolt gun and get them to drop a round in it point blank.

The only 2 places that spring to mind is gunfire and taiwangun. Kind of a shame though, the e&l mags are nice bits of kit.....

Funny enough my advice with ak mags is the opposite way round- put cyma mags in everything. Ive used cyma's in jg's, lct's and e&l's. Iirc there is a known thing with either e&l or lct mags not working in one direction but i'm damned if i can remember which way round it is, i *think* as your experiencing its the e&l stuff doesnt work in other patterns but take that with a big pinch of salt.

you've not met the kind of players i've seen, our record so far is failing to call a broadside from a 40-mike...... couple of months back running the dragonuv there was a chap in that position, called me over to take a shot (because of course big gun with a scope=more range but that's by the by and tbf i was yeeting .48's), my first shot went about a foot over the guys head, close enough for him to flinch but definately not a hit, meanwhile all i'm hearing is "you hit him you hit him". likewise yesterday i was being credited with a double kill despite being 99% certain the first guy the bb passed didn't make contact (ironically he was the guy i was aiming at, the second bloke walked out at the wrong time) unless you not only see the bb land, but you know it's close enough to impact with authority and hasn't bounced off a mag pouch or something where they might legitimately have not felt/heard it, then you gotta give them the benefit of the doubt.

Oh for sure, the diminishing returns is strong in this hobby. The biggest lesson i learnt from the m4 is perfection is nice but not worth the effort over "good enough" and that was after having incrementally got it there over the guts of a decade

Tbh e&l's stock barrel/bucking are pretty passable, although i'm not saying you shouldnt throw a macaron in there......

The problem with "upgrades" is the ability to make a gun perform better often lies in simply assembling it properly with a few choice parts in the places where they really count. Its not a case of buying the most expensive iteration of each component, slapping them together and expecting the end result to be better.

Are the biscuits and beverages provided? If so can we set the age limit at say, my age minus a year? 😛

Kinda situational really, depends how far back the spawn is, how realistic the enemy advancing is etc. These days i try to focus more on not getting hit than on hitting other people, so i normally do take the full walk (and generally try a different direction/angle) Ofc the solution is fall back games without fixed respawns, although you still get folks with very short legs who can do 30 paces in about 5m

a fair point, only really works if you're being honest and giving a realistic interpretation of how long it should take to get back into the action. ofc airsoft is filled with things that only really work if you're being honest.....

ahh yes, makes sense. mine must be rated to OD then (well, outer radius)

yeah, we can't rely on dirt splashes or guaranteed hit calls in this hobby sadly. like i say my finding with the lpvo/stacked dot was i was using the dot almost exclusively and rarely would i actually use the magnification, and likewise i find the pso is a bit of a pain if you're trying to get on target quickly (also whoever said you can still use irons with a pso mounted is a liar ) main reason i use it is because what else am i mounting on a dragonuv

tbh the red dot/magnifier thing is one of those ideas seems better on paper than practically, at least with the quality of airsoft optics. it's more the existence of an eyebox compared to a dot where (assuming it's got decent parralax) you see the dot you use the dot. thing is if you look at the RS world "red dot distances" can be out to 300m, you don't need magnification to get hits at airsoft ranges, you need it to track the bb's flightpath and the targets honesty.

the issue with lpvo's is the 1x isn't really 1x compared to an open dot. tbh when i ran the m4 i pretty much kept the variable at 4x and used a stacked red dot for 90% of shots only switching when i needed to track the bb's flightpath at range. with that in mind i'd be more minded to go for the fixed 3-4x and stack a red dot for closer range work, i've been using the dragonuv with the pso (fixed 4x) and aside from the inability to aim quickly at closer ranges it's been just fine (with the caveat that the pso is going to be much worse than a more modern optic)

i mean how long are this dudes arms

can we take a moment to appreciate the position of that foregrip?

as long as from the enemy's perspective you walk out of their sight and don't come back for a realistic amount of time i don't see the issue.

yeah, that's what i'd call a significant chunk if the site's running a 1.3j outdoor limit for auto guns. you sure those o-rings were for a cylinder? they're normally 1" (25.4mm) diameter. which reminds me i need to restock my 26mm o-rings, i have like 3 left........ worth checking the measurements as you say, but i love these: https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/nozzles/ec-m4-metal-nozzle-double-oring-21mm

I was meaning more specifically to you. Whilst parts (especially for m4's) tend to be generic, the emphasis is on compatible-ish, and a good part that works great in one gun might make another gun worse. For range and accuracy i tend to go with the following as a generic formula (in roughly increasing order of benefit/reward ratio): Give the barrel a good clean Good quality heavier ammo (as heavy as your wallet can afford), i find the ~.3g range is a good cost/performance balance for assault guns outdoors Change the hop rubber/nub combo (especially if its struggling to lift heavier ammo), i like the maple leaf macaron/omega nub combo although some guns dont like feeding with the longer feedlips so the pdi W hop would be my go to in that scenario. Air seal, air seal, air seal, i have a guide which covers the main areas to look at: Once youve got the air seal sorted you can think about spring changes if you're a decent chunk under your sites limit, no point whacking a massive spring in to lose all the energy to leaks. Dont get too hung up on fps, yes energy matters and all things being equal more is better but if you're 5-10fps under the limit its not really worth the effort. And after all that you can think about changing the barrel, the overriding factor for barrels is quality, a well made brass or stainless barrel is gonna be better than a cheap "tightbore". I'm a fan of pdi stuff but zci's 6.02 stainless offerings are very good for the price. I wouldnt bother changing barrel length too much, doesn't much for accuracy except mess up your volume ratio. Rate of fire is a tricky one depending on how far you want to go, however if what you want is a snappy trigger response then a precocking mosfet like the gate warfet will give a nice boost without the associated problems of a high auto rate.

What areas of performance are you wanting to improve? It really depends on your play style and what you want/need as to what path you should consider and what areas will yeild improvement compared to those that might not be worth the effort.

Iirc isnt it all just standard ak internals? Been ages since i looked at one but the only area i remember thinking was weak was the barrel/hop mounting and alignment with the gearbox.
