    i know i'm like 3 pages back here, but the CU hop unit is my go-to hop unit for ak's and fits e&l/lct just fine. runs macarons and pdi just fine, and can be a bit of wrestling to get it into the gun but you get it setup right it's solid as anything. reminds me i need another for my latest acquisition...... edit: anyone know any uk shops do them? if i go to GS imma bankrupt myself..... kinda missed it myself, feel like it went very out of proportion from my original intent, still gives me some light evenings reading to actually go through it properly rather than skim it in 5 minutes this morning.

    it's probably a range, 455ish being optimal and decreasing to 509ish before it really becomes noticable. of course having said all that, for the 20 seconds when my mg42 was still an aeg it had no problems with accuracy whatsoever on a 650mm barrel......
  5. Adolf Hamster
    well that escalated quickly my original point, to be clear, is that because barrel length alone is a very minor factor for the performance of a pew, so if you want to run a short gun outdoors then you absolutely can and there's no need to feel like you're at a performance disadvantage for doing so. the other factors such as energy output, fps consistency, ammo quality/weight, hop setup etc all matter so much more for the task of actually slinging a bb downrange. hell the most accurate, well performing long range gun i ever built was on a 247mm barrel. likewise if you want to run a longer barreled gun, either for having the length to poke through hedges or just because you like longer guns, that's also perfectly fine. remember because you want to is as valid a reason as any in this hobby. i believe the argument there is that's 455 is the longest inner barrel that can be correctly volumed by a standard full stroke aeg cylinder, hence why some platforms (such as SR25's and SVD's) can come with extended cylinders/pistons to get a bit more volume. of course it's a moot point when talking about bolties, gbbr's or hpa's given those operate differently.

    We'll just say nuprol is the dreamer for selling cqb floor sweepings as new bb's

    Never used g&g but geoffs have served me well in all the guns i've used em in.
  8. Adolf Hamster
    I suppose technically they should work, but there's the paper specs and there's reality as you've found out. Even more, for the countries where fps limits are whatever the gun can do without exploding
  9. Adolf Hamster
    why not? barrel length has very little impact on performance (when all the other factors for performance are taken into account) only thing a longer barrel is good for it the ability to poke it through hedges for better concealment.
  10. Adolf Hamster
    yeah, i was agreeing with you but i opened in a way that sounded like i wasn't lol. can i ask why you were putting nuprol bb's in an mws? surely you'd want a top end gat to be fed the finest food?

    in fairness same factory just means same building, the cheaper brands can still use different tooling with an argument being that the cheaper brands use the tools that have worn out to where they're unacceptable for the premium brands. alternately steps with minor benefits can be skipped (eg polishing stages) or perhaps rounds off the line that fail to meet the tolerance spec for brand A get given to brand B who have wider tolerances. and ofc raw material can come in 2 entirely different grades from entirely different suppliers. the tl:dr being even if nuprol bb's are made in the same factory as geoffs, doesn't make them not shit
  12. Adolf Hamster
    nope, wouldn't put that monster pbs4 on there i'm pretty sure it'd actually bend the barrel. that is a shiny new e&l who's unfortunate life has brought it into my hands where no mercy shall be applied in replacing basically everything.....

    in fairness that's pretty much why we ordered from europe before brexit too.

      nope, they just didn't include it to begin with :P

      Well, can't worry about losing something you don't have in the first place I guess ?

      maybe that's why their mag springs are so terrible- can't lose their nice mags if you dont wanna use em :P

    indeed, the point is not that we think tg is a bad shop, but that if we have to deal with ups it'd be as easy to buy elsewhere.
  18. Adolf Hamster
    some of that is serious failures too, would beg the question what else is wrong with them that this guy doesn't realise.

      well there's really only 2 things i can put down that a bolty will do that my current stock can't:

      quietness- i do miss the hpa silence some times

      works in winter- i do have aeg's, but the dragonuv does not like the cold

       

      i'll maybe mull it over a while, have a krink build planned atm so that should keep my mind occupied and bank balance low for a while.

      I recently picked up a VSR to replace the SRS I sold (because there aren't enough good woodland sites local to me to justify having such an expensive bolty). I'd find it hard to not have at least one bolty on deck. It'll never be as quiet as the SRS was, but it was also about a 3rd of the price of the SRS (at least, how I had my SRS set up).

       

      A Krink project involving some certain repro Zenitco furniture per chance? Words cannot describe how much I regret selling on the contents of that Gunfire order. Ohh the nightmare I'm having obtaining it all again ??‍♂️

      oh yeah that was you i bought that handguard set off.

       

      yes it does involve those, and yes it really has taken me this long to get around to it :P

       

      have it setup nicely with a 2dp and plan is imma hang that monster of a pbs4 on the end and run tracers in daylight like a madman.....

       

      plans are mainly internal, gonna do a dsg build for no other reason than i'm bored and i've never seriously tried putting one together before.

    please tell me that box has a whole rif in it, because that would be such a beautiful mockery of their "firearms declaration" procedures.....
  21. Adolf Hamster
    i think its mostly the short mag, i understand they're somewhat rare for the vector.
  22. Adolf Hamster
    me too, i think it's mostly because i hate gyms so a day lugging around a heavy pew is my substitute arm workout. although i reckon the jg might even be heavy by the time lockdown has withered what little muscle i had to begin with.
  23. Adolf Hamster
    laughs, then cries in e&l ak with lct pbs4
  24. Adolf Hamster
    oooohhh that's a spicy pricetag......
  25. Adolf Hamster
    don't get that as much as the old "he's not taking his hits" accusation from people that assume that because you can send .48's over to hit them, that their .2's will be able to reply.....
