it depends on the action. for aeg's and gbbr's they're pretty much pointless as the action noise is by far the largest element. for hpa's and nbb's where there's minimal action noise then they absolutely help with the "pop" you get from the barrel and can bring it down to a level of silence that if you're standing a few feet away the sound of the bb landing makes more noise than the gun does. for aeg's yes, however it's still largely pointless given the gearbox noise, piston slap etc. you can do quiet aeg builds (mostly by filling the gun with more foam than is good for it), but you have to really really not want to just carry a mk23 as a secondary for when silence is required.

i did experiment with cutting baffle shapes in the rings, wrapping a cut up mousemat around the inside of the chamber (to dampen any noise that hits the can wall), stuff like that. dont think it did all that much, a decent sized can and an action that's quite enough for suppression to make a difference is pretty much all the way there. besides, anyone you shoot silent or no will be coming right back for you after he's respawned (assuming he didn't scream hit at the top of his lungs then whisper "he's over there" to his buddies as he walks off)

yeah it's pretty common, normally 3 rings wrapped around a spring. ofc having a bit of space for gas isn't the worst thing in the world.

i tend to have just the one bottle in the field, then drink plenty inbetween games from a stash in the car. although the sites i play are generally the kind where you can go back to the car between games.

having just finished replaying mafia 3 i was kinda wanting to turn it into a "paint it black" pun, but my pun game was insufficiently strong

interesting review, if you are in the mood for pulling apart then some pics would be lovely, although granted the whole point of a gun like that is to not have to pull it apart. it's a fair point you make on the price, it always seems easier to stomach the bills when they come in smaller chunks rather than dropping it all at once on a pew, even if it ends up the same once you're done.

wait, that's supposed to be custom? looks like something a clumsy decorator would be wearing right after finishing a job for tim burton.......

Must be awesome playing airsoft on a submarine

i don't think it's actually a slide, looks more like a bolt mauser style? would make sense with the then fixed optic rail the scorpion evo selector was meant to be a lesson not a challenge.......

and you were doing so well too.....

One would assume that the aftermarket ak style adapters would likely fit (maybe with a little fettling). And if the current crop dont fit a new crop will soon pop up, the world is full of heretics after all.

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.....
