tbf, joule creep generally doesn't apply to aeg's, at least in the same sense it's applied to the likes of gbb's, hpa's or bolty's with heavy pistons. that said, i've heard the term applied to meaning the difference between X fps on X weight compared to X fps on Y weight, which isn't the same thing. although i do get the sentiment that a site insisting on the old 0.2g chrono probably hasn't bothered learning the situations when that's not such a good idea.

before cutting anything, are you running thrust bearings on both the piston and the spring guide? if so you can lose the one in the piston (replace it with a washer) and that'll drop you a few fps. you do want at least one thrust bearing though, and having it on the spring guide saves piston mass.

yeah heard of this too. seems they've fallen quite far into the well of dirty tactics since the internet made finding out records from the original source much easier to find.

not just recoils, any tm will outrange anything at 0.8j. except the vsr10, those need stronger springs apparently.

y'know now you've made me think about it i'm not sure that's such a simple question to answer, at least in the intermediate case you're describing where either config is valid (ie you're not driving it fast enough where short stroking is necessary to avoid pme and there's enough volume overhead for that not to be an issue). there's arguments to be made both directions. normally for me at least the stroke tends to be dictated by the barrel length (dictated by however long the gun is) and volume requirements, but then i tend to lean towards higher ratio gears and torquey motors with a boatload of precocking for snappy semiauto and not really giving a stuff about rate of fire unless it's stupidly low (ie i'm happy with 15-20 rps).

we have an appraisals section for checking price: https://airsoft-forums.uk/forum/151-appraisals/ and a sales section for actually selling: https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/ as @EDcase mentions there's a post limit for some areas of the classifieds now, although i don't know what areas have limitations, or what those limitations are.

must say i'm inclined to agree. i'd even put money on it, just not as much money as Guinness charges, which is kinda the point with records like this.

am i the only one thinking that's heavy looking paper for a sub 1j bb to be penetrating at that range..... edit: some of the excel equivalent of back of a fag packet calculations suggest for a 0.48g bb we're talking ~0.07j of energy at 81m (assuming still air of ρ=1.225kg/m³ and constant drag coefficient of 0.45 for laminar flow (which iirc i remember checking and apparently it is for our energy levels))

not as many as proctologists....

this is the kind of man who hears the phrase "you can't aim for shit when hip firing" and instead of cowering in the corner like a wuss instead stands tall and bellows at the top of his lungs "challenge accepted"

yeah ok you win this round

never used an m14 with an optic, it that at the level of needing to maintain a beard just to tell where the stock is?

where have i heard that before?

effort and cost for sure, its the sad truth that above a certain threshold of cost guns will gather a lot of attention and interest until folk hear the price tag. especially when it comes to the RS zenitco stuff as folk who want that also want to buy exactly the setup they like, kinda like custom paint in a way. hopefully it doesn't take too long to find the buyer with the right combination of aesthetic preference, cashmoney, and lack of current gun.

i'd say typical for a jazzed up krink, but a jazzed up krink in itself is the niche. yep, folk are too used to their block-19's and ar builds, not used to the idea of having to fettle parts to fit. does seem fair for a build of that caliber, the only problem is the overlap between people that want that kind of spec and people who already have guns of that spec. i'm almost tempted to put it in macks now just to spite you

as you identify selling as a single unit is going to be tricky. problem with this sort of thing is folk who'd otherwise be interested in that sort of thing will likely have built/commissioned their own (to their particular taste). please do list it as a one-er though so my poor-spec repro zenit build looks cheaper when i get around to listing it

i dunno, in my experience useless in airsoft standards means unable to hit a barn from inside aforementioned barn.

Whats bore offset and cheek weld mean? Asking for a freind.....

the warhead motors are defo a step up, especially for semiauto. bit delicate with the contacts but the pickup speed is defo noticable.

look guys, we gotta accept that airsoft is a sport that attracts folks from various ages and backgrounds, it should be no surprise that forums surrounding it will be no exception. that's inevitably going to lead to dealing with folks with whom you have some fundamental philosophical disagreement with whether that separation be age, politics, religion or whatever. however i do think that alex has a point that certain things are best left unsaid on a public forum, although not for the same reasons. one of the things i've always loved about this forum compared to many is how rarely debates of this sort arise, either because they're not talked about or because folks here realize the truth that arguing with someone on an internet forum isn't going to get them to change to any great degree. on the flip side, shamal and druid have a point that if you support free speech as an ideal then you have to accept that also means accepting others should be allowed to voice opinions that don't sit well with you. I realize that it's an easy trap to fall into, hell i remember the vaccine debate suckered me in good and proper, but looking at the long term you can choose to either hold the grudge and end up having constant little spats (until the forum suffers for it), or accept the inevitability that nothing's going to change the other party's mind and you're better off forgetting it and focusing on the real issues that affect us all. like kickingmustang and speedsofters and hpa users because for sure we ain't gonna be solving a problem as complex as racism from behind a keyboard.

Hey guys whats with all the notifications....

^that

and so my fictional character turns real also he missed a hell of an opportunity to cash in on the borderlands reference..... sadly i'm afraid that reference went over my head

if you'd met him you'd know......

careful man, next thing you'll be asking why the first thing that's "the done thing" with a tm sniper rifle is to up the power when everyone knows tm's outrange everything ootb.
