You'd be better off with a second gun tbh.

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.

quite possibly, never bought a gat from tg but i wouldn't be surprised if they did the same.

that it does, although almost exclusively linked to issues in re-assembly rather than the power change in and of itself. being horrifically underpowered is unfortunately rather common, if it's a bit spicy and needs a downgrade retailers have a nasty habit of just whacking in the flimsiest spring they can find and calling it a day. needless to say this can cause problems (especially pme related problems) on some guns. the only shop i've seen do it properly is gunfire- they actually cut the spring and do a pretty damn good job of getting within, but not stupidly under, the limit.

the flash hider isn't too hard. the actual replacement is available on TG (although postage might be a problem): https://www.taiwangun.com/dummy-flash-suppressor-muzzle-brake/flash-hider-for-akm-replica-cyma?from=listing&campaign-id=19 it's a standard 14mm ccw thread so most aftermarket suppressors/muzzle devices will fit (including western style stuff if you wanna be a heretic). if you're wanting to stay russian themed bear in mind a lot of the aftermarket stuff uses the 24mm clockwise thread, although often they'll come with adapters such as: https://www.taiwangun.com/dummy-flash-suppressor-muzzle-brake/muzzle-brake-for-ak-grizzly-cyma?from=also-viewed&campaign-id=8 the front post is a bit harder, i'm afraid my search of the usual suspects has turned up a blank.

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.

the whole point of this thread is irrationally disliking guns even if you admit to yourself they're actually pretty good, not meant to be too serious

i know, ended up importing a pk1 which is a wonderful bit of kit, doesn't work indoors but it's still a head turner (and a few stomachs admittedly). very purple though..... although it does teach you the meaning of the term "bore offset" i'd love a 1p29, not because i think it's good but because my god that's a weird optic.....

I do agree, although aside from the pso, pk-a and kobra there's not a lot of options for dedicated siderail optics in the repro market. Which is a shame because a lot of the siderail stuff is the most steampunk glass you can get.

the more premium ak's tend to be a lot better for that, the e&l's/lct's/real swords. although if you're changing the handguards around you do gotta put some work in to get them to sit tight. on the subject of ak's i'm also not a fan of railed top covers/sight block mounts/"diving boards" for mounting optics, i get the practicality of not having to pull a siderail every time you install the battery, i get that zero retention is a pointless concern on an airsoft gat, and i get that you can still fold the stock. but i still don't like em. although that said i like the more eclectic siderail mounted optics the russians have so i realise i'm probably in the minority here.

lemme guess, it's all low density pla stuff in really bright colours? "when all you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail"

😛 ^huh, didn't know you could capitalize smilies......

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

this isn't meant to be too serious for example i like the p90, but i get why you don't (and it's bigger brother) "what length barrel is in that thing?" "yes"

inspired by some recent random chat about the scorpion evo figured it might be a fun idea to find out how many folks have irrational hatred for guns (or aspects of them). so what guns do you think are good (either real or airsoft), but you hate them anyway? for me it's glocks, i get that both real and (the good) airsoft versions make for fine gats, simple, easy to use, reliable and effective enough to get the job done. i can understand their popularity and i'll admit if i actually had to bet my life on a handgun it would be a good choice. but i hate them, they're boring, boxy, and the tat people sprinkle on them or carve into them with soldering irons just makes it worse. i also hate the fashion for putting buffer tube stocks on everything, ak's being most prominent but anything from shotguns, mp5's, scar's etc. i get that it means adjustability, i get that it allows a wide selection of stock options, i get that it makes sense. but i still hate it.

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.

oh for sure, too many springy things in a gearbox to get lost on site, better done at home with a clean&tidy floor. i've always advocated knowing your own teching, so many advantages once you get past that hill at the start and can put stuff together properly.

Oh aye, bail right before we have to put the effort in to re-rail the thread ahh, fair enough, my apologies.

Thats a gif i get it man, we all got guns we hate for no particular reason. Like how i hate ar stocks on non-ar's (ak's being most prevalent but not exclusive victim). I understand how it came to be, and why people do it, but i still just hate it. hmm, that could be an interesting thread.....

Its a fine weapon..... As long as you're ok with a trigger from a black and decker...... I preferr tactical tuna myself Also deleting smilies from a quote on mobile is basically impossible so, yeah, there's that..... If you've got the drop on them from a few feet and you're aiming for headshots might be part of the reason folk are getting annoyed, jus' puttin it out there. The evo got a lot of bad rep by a certain type of user sure (just like a lot of airsoft stuff) but in fairness it is pretty damn good and one of the few guns even a serial tinkerer like me would reccommend be left alone.

In fairness a 3 point works well on an f2000 I mean thats not a long list, mostly because almost everything has something on the left side of the gun that they interfere with.

hpa tapping a gbbr isn't going to make it quieter thanks to all that action noise, unless we're confusing terms. a solenoid engine with a nice foam can on it though, that can be very quiet and ideal for a dmr, at least if you don't mind the paraphernalia that goes with it.

sadly that stereotype does exist for a reason, ironically the best game i ever played was with a big team of guys who rocked up all with hpa kit, even as an hpa user myself i saw those airlines and thought "ohhhh shit.....", needless to say i was happy to have my predictions overturned. to answer the main question i recently realized how handy an ak fire selector that doesn't need to be reset to safe before switching from semi to auto is.
