see new players i can understand, but if i had a penny for every time i rocked up to the chrono running the heavies only to get quizzical looks of "that's a bit low isnt it?", kinda worrying really that sites don't get it.

it amazes me that nimh batteries are still a thing, i mean i considered them old hat about 5 years before i started airsoft and that was over a decade ago now. although that said people still think 330fps on an 0.4g is the same as 330fps on 0.2g, people are still ree'ing for tm's (just the recoil now), and the systema guys got replaced by the hpa guys.

indeed, it's surprising given you can actually see where bb's are going that people still fall for it. these days even though i'm familiar enough with my hardware i have a pretty damn good idea where my shots are going even when they're going beyond the distance i can track them, i still give folk the benefit of the doubt unless i actually see the shot land. of course this is where magnification can come into play to extend the range you can be sure you've landed a hit, but at extreme range you then open up the possibility of legitimate no-feels.

Finally got around to putting an actual hop unit in the f2000. Modded an old king arms unit with an stub of inner barrel and it seems to actually work. Of course it being the f2000 it'll go from firing every shot with a 1fps deviation at home to feeding 1 shot in ten about 100fps under on the field.

If its anything like what i've met before it'll be along the lines of "i had him in the scope at 9x so i must have hit him"

Take a look at the pics. Looks fucked to me, in fact i'd be worried about whatever impact did that damaging the rest of the gun

fair point, maybe got lazy sticking on the reflective pad thing

reckon maybe it's the trigger block that's sticking rather than the mosfet.

what are we thinking? £50 above retail for a semi only gun is what i'm reading here

i did try that just to ensure i didnt end up with green fingers next game day so they're pretty well stuck as is. ahh well, nothing major, worst case it's all bits i can replace.

good to know, although my parts ended up too dark so i doubt i'll be able to bring them back, but will bear in mind for future.

Nice, what dye are you using to get the olive? I had a crack on a couple of bits over lockdown but they didnt turn out so well and i had to overspray them

Do it. The aksu is a great wee gun. However you will need a backup for the backup of the backup so i suggest grabbing an aeg variant as well as a gbb for the colder weather and a makarov just in case you get jumped mid reload.

I hate you An accurate summation.....

what the hell is going on with that grip!? edit: also why prioritise an ambi bolt catch over an ambi mag catch?

Yeah thats pretty tight, only place for gas i can see would be under the barrel. Unless maybe if your going semi only a mk23? Im that familiar with the internals on those admittedly so not sure how amenable it would be to what your going for. Either that or some serious modding of a gbb pistol mech?

i'm guessing as the v7 is a tight enough fit in a full size m14 that it's a bit chunky for the mini14. i must admit hpa does sound like the way i'd do it, don't even need the gearbox shell just mount the engine where it's needed (i'm guessing an offset nozzle will be better for fitment), you can wire up trigger contacts wherever you want them. avoiding the line and tank is tricky, you can get co2 adaptors that are the dimensions of an m4 buffer tube so feasable to fit if you're not running a folding stock? you'll be a bit more limited on rounds compared to a tank but depending how you plan on fielding it that might be an acceptable trade.

Man knows the way

Belt rig, plenty of options depending on the theme you're going for, but much more comfortable than a plate imo. Plates make sense if their primary purpose is to stop bullets so you might as well hang some mags off them.

So the rifle is £420 (first result on google, i'm sure its cheaper with some sleuthing) We gut the gearbox and get rid of all of those internal bits that definately aren't worth anything on the secondhand market. Then we add our shiny new inferno gen 2 spartan for £290 Which leaves us at £710 brand new, did i mention that comes with a warranty on the engine as well?

Man i always wanted to see an airsoft version of the old open topped cap'n ball revolvers

what worries me more is that the specific products aren't listed, or maybe i'm just weird that i can list the internals of my guns from memory?

man tm are bastions of elegant simple design, i never realized the hop arm and the barrel were the only internal parts on an mws!

i always just paste the url directly into the reply and it does it automatically
