    Orders 5000 geoffs .43's, gets 5000 .48's

     

    I feel really cheated here......

     

     

    :P

      So your the bastard who stole all the .48s... get him lads!

       

      Joking aside, you can probably sell them straight on for more if your that way inclined.

      Screw selling then on, these are my "so it's come to this" stash.

       

      Also come at me, i got 5000 .48's and a polarstar :P

    Np, its an easy mistake to make, nearly missed it myself. Having met one of the nbb ones in the flesh its £44 for a reason lol.

    looks like the version wolf is selling has blowback, the version on taiwangun is NBB

      Lol, no such luck here, she's working just fine. Need to check out the hop make sure she's shooting straight.

    don't you just love ordering springs that aren't what they say they are, indeed not even close....

      Can you show us on the fps/Joules chart where the bad vendor touched you?

      They were meant to be m100's so give or take a bit 1j, they were closer to m130/m140's.

       

      Shame as the whole point of buying them was to have some springs i knew were in the right ballpark rather than my current batch which are all in the 0.5j range.

       

      All i can say is i'm glad i chrono'd it before giving it back to me mate, not sure he'd be best pleased at being told he cant play.

    did you really have the continue the meme about people complaining about people complaining? where does it end?
  7. Adolf Hamster
    In my experience, not reliably.
  8. Adolf Hamster
    not the price per-say but that description is pure gold.
  9. Adolf Hamster

    Well, experiment complete, using geoff's .4's in a polarstar is very effective.

     

    Did i say effective? I meant expensive :P

      sounds about right, went through 5000 of them yesterday. however it has at least confirmed what i was beginning to suspect which is the gun is good and the regular ammo i've been using all this time has been the problem.

    3. Rogerborg

      Five... thousand? 😖

      yep, if i'm gonna experiment might as well be rigorous.

       

      don't worry, many souls were harvested. although i think it'll be a while before i run them again :P

    because the cheapo airsoft ones have a nasty habit of killing batteries, at least the 3-LED types do. i at least still have all my charging kit from when i used to be into RC so not a problem for me. welcome to the life brother, excellent bit of kit, i'd honestly rather lose the polarstar than that loader.
  11. Adolf Hamster
    When you say "bb's" what exactly are we referring to? Is it actual ammo or some of those polystyrene packing balls painted yellow?
  12. Adolf Hamster
    is it just me, or would i much prefer the phrase "up shit creek without a paddle" to "in shit creek with a paddle and no canoe"
  13. Adolf Hamster
    bunch of nuprol midcaps, asg cnc 18k motor for the f2000 and some bearings for the '42 project
  14. Adolf Hamster
    Yeah, have one of these on another forum i'm on, called it the brexit thread iirc.
  15. Adolf Hamster
    it's ironic because the adjustment dials block you from actually putting any accessories on it, so probably doesnt cound
  16. Adolf Hamster
    I dunno. I have a bushnell short dot that's covered in rails and its pretty damn good, clear glass and excellent eye box. However granted its not normally a good sign
  17. Adolf Hamster
    This man knows.....

    i second this motion heavier ammo will give you more range, but lighter ammo in an indoor setting will have a marginally faster flight time (it gets overtaken at range by heavier ammo) but more importantly it's cheaper.
  19. Adolf Hamster
    fair enough, i hadn't heard of them but i was under the impression using explosive propellant automatically made it a firearm regardless of power (at least that's how i understand it).
  20. Adolf Hamster
    not really the price per-say, but this feels like it must surely be on the borderline of legality given it's using what appears to be explosives to lob rounds?:
  21. Adolf Hamster

    5k geoff's .4's and 10k geoff's .32's.

     

    At what point do i admit to having a problem?

      Ummm, i might do prisce, theyre for the polarstar

    3. Prisce

      Well, that sir, is when you officially have a problem.

      but muh accuracy?

       

      tbf this is an experiment, i know the .4's will be good but i've mostly been running the laser dot .3's and in the quest for a gun that shoots in a straight line the only variable left that i haven't fully explored is ammo, hence the big pile of geoff's to see how those work out.

  22. Adolf Hamster
    you would at the minute, it's been out of action for a long while during this conversion, currently got the air system ok but i've been having to upgrade the mag to cope with the requirements, currently working on setting up an m60 mag mech to run off the old motor from the f2000, i suppose i could have accepted it as it was but it's become a project of curiosity at this point
  23. Adolf Hamster
    very niche, although even more so as an hpa given that's going to ruin any interest from the re-enactors market. funny my logic was i wanted a ww2 gun and the mp40/stg didn't do it for me which left the k98 (and getting outgunned) or the 42 which i reckoned the 42 was modern enough to still be relevant (given it's lineage is still in service). that said we had a showing yesterday from a ww2 russian commissar running a very nice ebb ppsh41, so there are folk out there willing to take on something different. of course i'll openly admit if i want to actually be effective i'd still pick up the m4 over anything else, but then you can't play too seriously in this game.
  24. Adolf Hamster
    indeed, it's a tricky one, end of the day something's only worth what someone's willing to pay for it. like my mg42 conversion, to comission a tech to do that would cost a lot given what's been done, but at the end of the day it's now a very specialised bit of kit that unless you really want that particular use case it's pretty much worthless.
