  1. 20rps should be fine then. yep that's your problem right there. you could try a PDI W-hold, it's my go-to bucking for when the maple leaf stuff has feeding issues.
  2. What was the fps before? If the springs intact and you havent messed with short stroking/thrust bearings then it shouldnt be dropping energy. I'd be looking first at air seal, specifically the hop as thats what you changed, a change in feed lip length could be losing you compression. Double spinning isnt in itself an issue, but might indicate she's going a tad fast, whats the rof in auto? Fps drop on auto (but not semi) is a sign of pme if your pushing her too fast. Been a while since i've run an shs ht but if memory serves they're much faster than the term high torque would imply, certainly on 11.1 i can see it pme'ing not so sure on 7.4, this is more ducks territory. If your aim is trigger response (or more accurately lock time- how long between pulling the trigger and the round going downrange) then you'd be better off looking at mosfets with precocking like the gate warfet, it'll make the semi auto nice and snappy but not require excessive auto rate of fire and cure the overspin at the same time.
  3. Suppose now i think about it this might not be the worst idea. Wether it drops the fps enough and/or deals with the overvoluming (although on an aeg overvolume isn't too bad) at the desired length is the question though. Still reckon a dedicated assault gun would be better, you'd get auto and much less faff to swap configs. Plus who doesnt need an excuse to get a second gun?
  4. heard the wide bores were decent if you could get the volume for them, they tend to be more suggested to pair up with hpa systems than aeg's. not surprising it's dropping the fps, it's an intentional air leak after all.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. If it was an hpa yes, you could swap uppers and just remember the pressure/fcu settings for each config. But aeg it's more hassle than its worth.
  8. 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.
  9. You'd be better off with a second gun tbh.
  10. 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.
  11. quite possibly, never bought a gat from tg but i wouldn't be surprised if they did the same.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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,
  15. 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.
  16. ahh yes, the old "but he can shoot me so obviously i must be able to hit him" paradox
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Oh aye, bail right before we have to put the effort in to re-rail the thread ahh, fair enough, my apologies.
  20. 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.....
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. i can see where you're coming from, for the most part that's how i've done things. never cared much about the winning side of it, indeed it's a rare occasion i even know wether or not the team i'm on has actually won whatever the objective is. however after all the care an attention you put into getting into a decent spot and getting a good shot off it's terribly disheartening for it to have been wasted by a failure of the target to follow simple rules. ha, you caught me before i even typed it. i guess for me at least it's just depressing how incapable people are of following even the simplest of instructions. needless to say my annoyance at [insert annoying airsoft thing] is exponentially proportional to how long they've been playing (and by extension should know better). wish i had your luck, in the decade or so i've been at this i can only remember one game that didn't feature a single instance of any of the usual suspects (irony being the only non-hpa gun there was a gbbr, take that stereotypes), hell some places i've played at you'd call it a good day if more than half of the players were playing decently.
