That looks like a standard side folder to me, cant see any reason why they'd fake that.

i'm sure like the mk23 there'll be an aftermarket solution to make it adjustable. personally my view is it's a shotgun, i wouldn't even bother trying to use it beyond cqb ranges. which is probably why i've never really been bothered with shotguns, but this does intrigue me.

didnt know they wore lycra and DYE masks?

that's somethin special alright.....

there is but one god, our lord and savior Mikhail who sent his only begotten son unto us so that we may have moar dakka.

the answer is why would you even ask that you filthy heretic!

*happy russian noises*

that diagram looks different to the f226 i had. in the one i had there was a much larger bulged section at the base of the grip frame, it had a pin at the rear making a slot that the tail end of the stirrup (S61) would ride in, the spring itself was just pressed against the top of this block. you can kind of see it in this image: of course they might have tweaked the design since, wouldn't be the first time i've seen 2 of WE's models with the odd redesigned part to them.

Sounds about right. When you get 2 of them nattering on about how such and such is being offered the megabucks to join some other team but they think such and such is past it cos he's too old and so and so would be a better pick but its not transfer season yet and the 5th league wickets are stacked against the team that everyone normally thinks should win because they've kicked more home runs than anyone else in the past 5 years but that was all due to such and such who's practically a demigod of the ball handling but not any more apparently. And then the building burned to the ground......

I feel both elated and depressed by how much that resonates with me it's true though, all it takes is 2 football fans in an open office.......

this is a uk airsoft forum, with a majority uk based membership, and you have to remember moaning about things is a time honoured British institution.....

Can i just put forward this thought: We're on an airsoft forum arguing which star trek captain was the best. We have acheived peak nerd..... Yes i know i started it.....

watch them both singing then tell me kirk is better......

And?

If its good enough for patrick stewart ...

yeah but it's coffee, it'll still taste like you just scraped the burnt bits off your toast into a mug and mixed it with water. gimme a nice chai or earl grey any day

i do agree there, yes all those cases can have legitimate whoopsies, shit does indeed happen. the problem is identifying when it crosses that line for example between an extra couple of rounds that were already in the air to holding the trigger down even after the hand goes up. yep, and it is responsible for a lot of issues. reminds me of the fake dead walk discussion we had on here a while back about abusing people's trust by walking around with the demeanor of someone who's not currently playing. for sure you're gonna get tagged, ask any marshal how many times they've been dandering along to catch a round because someone saw a hat moving through the hedges and fired even the high-vis won't always help. i'll openly admit to having been on the sending and receiving ends of that sort of mistake more times than i can remember. it's not generally something worth getting worked up about. of course there's a line between one round to somewhere padded just to be sure and jumping straight into a full broadside or deciding to go directly for the squishy bits, which is what folk do if they can't trust that someone who looks dead (hand up or no) is in fact dead.

it's a character trait i don't understand. i mean if you wanted to out macho the other guy surely you'd be doing paintball instead? it's why statements like "oh don't be a wuss" really annoy me when talking about things like intentional headshots in this game, like disliking pain is somehow a character flaw.

Yeah i really dislike those games ever since seeing 2 fellas dump their entire ammo stock into each others arms point blank and walk off coated in blood.

there does come a point where it bridges from annoying to impressive. worst i heard of (although didn't witness) was someone shrugging off a close range rinsing with a 40-mike.

yeah that general idea. that's the tricky part of the design, although it is possible to get that level of sensitivity, for example scales work pretty much the same way just slower. it wouldn't necessarily need to be massively accurate, just enough to tell if my ".2's honest guvnor" is actually firing .4's, and there's nothing says you cant back it up with a regular chrono mechanism to determine the velocity. it would need to be a bb trap, if the bb gets caught then you know all its energy has been transferred.

i preferr my fantasy world where people are honest. although i admit yours is possible more attainable...... that's the idea, although point 4 onwards present the biggest challenges. hardest part would be reliable bb capture and getting the precision, of course if you coupled it with a regular chrono it might only need to be accurate enough to detect the liars. yep, i blame google, when you look up "fps calculator" it's all links to figuring out why fortnite is running slowly. yep,

to expand for those who might be unfamiliar with the term, joule creep is the phenomenon that some airsoft gats (namely gas blowbacks, hpa and some bolt actions) can have varying energy outputs purely by changing what weight of ammo they're firing. so someone could chrono their gbb using a site's .2g's and pass chrono just fine, slap in the .4g ammo they normally shoot in-game and suddenly it's hitting a lot harder. needless to say many sites/people might not even know this is happening. chronographing on player weight does eliminate the issue of accidental use of joule creep, however it does allow (but also require the cheater) players to simply lie about the weight of ammo they're using. the jury's out on which method is better (using site .2g or player weight) which is why you'll see sites using one or the other. might reverse the tables for creep suseptible gats though, if you're in-game weight/energy is lower. you could keep stock of the common weights to test individual cases but that applies as much when using .2's as the site ammo. still think the ballistic pendulum idea has legs.

ahh yes, the old "but he can shoot me so obviously i must be able to hit him" paradox

oh hop setting is a big one, alongside barrel cleaning and realizing that even a good gun will shoot like shit if you feed it crap ammo.
