you've got to be kidding me..... topic a while back on medium shaft motors (maybe yourself @LazzurusMan?): me thinking "hmm, i have a medium length lonex somewhere that got mis-delivered from gunfire and i cba'd sending it back", looked for it, couldn't find it, figure it got yeeted me 2 weeks ago "i have too much shit, gotta clear out", in the process find said lonex, can't find thread, motor gets yeeted me now "FUUUUUUU......." edit, for the sake of being constructive, whilst the infinity motors are damn good as brushed motors go, at £70 i'd probably prefer getting a long shaft warhead base and going with @Lozart's suggestion.

usually the rhop is best avoided given there aren't many places can do them properly. that said, umbrella are one of the ones that i thought could do it properly. assuming no potential for a qc defect (eg patch coming loose) then there's a couple of things might be worth thinking about: 1. they seem to taylor more to an american audience, so might be the compounds they're using aren't ideally suited to 1j and cold weather 2. lower fps could be from a bore obstruction, but it could also be (and tbh is more likely) a leak between the nozzle and hop. did it come with o-rings around the barrel? if not then you might want to try adding some to get the hop spaced onto the barrel (does secondary duty of reducing reciever wobble), should be enough to make the front body pin a tight fit but not overly so. 3. the quality of seal within the gearbox remains a factor, and can have a much bigger impact than the hop/barrel combo when it comes to consistency. 4. and i only mention this because it's a sneaky one, but make sure when you're setting the hop you start with it off and turn up, not the other way around. reason being is you can sometimes get 2 "sweet spots" with the second being at a much reduced energy level yet overspun so much the round can still fly.

you say that, i did once have a duel with a chap who was running 0.2's from a bolty outdoors. problem was it was a flat 1j field and that happened to be the day i felt like running the .48's. so when i say duel, it was kinda one-sided....

it's certainly possible to replace feed springs, maple airsoft do replacements although they can be hard to find. i've also done it replacing springs/followers in e&l mags with cyma ones, but that would mean buying whole mags which would kinda defeat the purpose.

Ahh, another thread, carry on.

Is that where the deja-vu about the age-based insults is coming from?

Loving these insults, keep em coming!

On an unrelated note, for some reason i find myself reminded of the phrase "playing chess with pidgeons"

I'm finding it so hard not to make a joke about mobile phones having spellcheckers these days. Wait, shit......

Man popeye hasn't aged well....

Given how this discussion has gone so far it pays to be sure... They are when you're dispensing self-defence advice on a uk forum....

you do know retroactive isn't the same thing as pre-emptive right? again, we're talking in the context of one caffeinated geardo on an airsoft site losing his shit over being over-shot, it's a situation that happens regularly enough without descending into anything more than shouting, finger pointing and general handbaggery. life threatening it is not. you mean the stuff that's illegal to possess, let alone carry or use in the uk?

so you are advocating pre-emptive defence, glad we're on the same page.

the options were: -push -strike first -headbutt -sucker punch at least going from the original post:

i'm guessing something like this?

you realize i wasn't quoting the bit about pushing people back right? i was quoting this: because that will get you kicked off site..... we're talking about one geardo losing his rag at an airsoft site, not taking a walk in downtown mogadishu....

ladies and gentlemen if it may please the court i propose the following motion for "dreamer" be applied to the defendant. to this purpose may i present exhibit A: the charge sheet for which includes but is not limited to: stating it has been "upgraded" but without what parts have been used or who installed them use of what appears to be a brass cleaning rod intended for RS use, complete with brushes, one can only imagine the barrel scratches nuprol bb's cheapy chinese charger with an EU socket, for the nimh ad description says cyma, but lower receiver says specna arms portrait orientation pics all for 400 schmeckles, sans delivery charges ofc.

i'm calling bs on that because that would mean marmite had utility, which i refuse to believe......

pre-emptive defense sounds like a great way to get you kicked off site, and it will be justified.

urgh, marmite, isn't that the shit they scrape out of the bottom of a brewing vat? yanno, the crap most companies throw in the trash? mayo is a tricky one, uk brands are crap flavorless goo, but you get the continental stuff? hmmm goes lovely on chips. however whilst we're on the topic of foods needing burned in eternal hellfire we can start with liquorice, it genuinely mystifies me how anyone can actually like that stuff enough to actually eat it, let alone pay money for it....

Hmm, as you say could be trying to shift old stock. Curious if there is truth behind this, if only as academic interest. Certainly all of my experiences with nimh are years old at this point given i've never had call to use them since the lipo takeover. Ofc there are valid uses for nimh (even in its bad old form) in airsoft, when dealing with rental guns. Cant trust rentals to understand the gravity of not mashing the trigger until the gun stops cycling.

Not entirely sure how much i'd trust a source that includes a sales link. But if there's been a reformulation of the chemistry of nimh cells to eliminate memory this is the first i've heard of it, surprising companies haven't at least re-named it to avoid the stigma of the old cells.

Pretty sure i still have a discharger lying around somewhere from the bad old days......
