I tried for a while, but found myself disconnecting it for weight saving more than i was using it in-game over simply mono-poding on the magazine.. But if you think it looks cool, and you use it enough to be cool with carrying it, then play on.

And, where relevant, who fitted the parts.

I might argue that 3, leads to a shocking inconsistency of 2, and if you want kickingmustangs that's how you get kickingmustangs acting as 1. A central body to publish a standard ruleset, meaning you can rock up on site and know exactly what the rules are, how they will be enforced and what to expect if they're broken (ie not just nothing as is so often the case) is badly needed. A central body to provide training, on things like the dark and mysterious art of knowing what the numbers on a chronograph mean is needed, because that information being easily and freely available evidently isn't enough. A central body to amplify, or denounce, the pr that puts our hobby in the spotlight as required. Do we really want non airsofters impressions of the sport being "airsoft cheetar destroyed by 500fps sniper shot to the balls [instant karma] [super painful] [he regretted it]" or "airsoft fights and flipouts compilation #2756". At best we get people showing up for their first gameday thinking that's an acceptable way to behave, at worst it gives the fun police all the ammo they could ever want. We need to remember that for many people in the uk guns are bad, and unless you're a soldier, an actor or a videogame sprite you have no business even touching a gun shaped object let alone actually be allowed to roam free with one. Of course it's pie in the sky thinking to some extent, but then i suppose it might be as alien as the early days of other sports where regulation didn't seem necessary.

I have seen ones without dedicated vents, although in that case friction and leakage around the front end usually does enough of the same job

That didn't need a secondly..... Ye gods, is playing your games really that hard?

and tbf, if there's any valid reason to use .12's, it's in a grenade. no better use for the fired/dirty/crap ammo that you wouldn't want to put through a pew.

I'm on board with this. Yes you can lob 0.48's from a pistol at 0.75j if you're trying hard enough, and yes the range and accuracy is hilarious. But realistically, can most people shoot a handgun in the skirmish environment well enough to make use of that? what you're trading for it is extra strain on the components, particularly the nozzle bulging or even bursting when subjected to regular doses of the heavies..

Auto precocking could cause this. When it first powers up it doesnt know the timing of the system, so intentionally overruns on the first shot to time it, then from that info it can set a more appropriate precocking timer.

Sorrynotsorry

For unmodified examples i can think of 3 cases: 1. Typical airsofter fickleness 2. Popularity 3. Unrealistic performance expectations For modified examples it's much more simple: 1. Coating it in superglue and dragging it through the prometheus catalogue is not the same thing as actually improving the performance.

That will catch on every bramble, briar, twig and branch out there whilst offering basically no real benefit to concealment for those who are not already capable of hiding in a high-vis should the need arise.

Sold years ago i'm afraid.

That boils my blood. If you think the token adoption fee the shelters charge is expensive then you cant afford to keep even a healthy cat, and that's not fair to the animal.

This, a hpa with a big can on it is practically silent

That's the core of my reservations. Now granted there are use cases, eg running a dmr where reduced piston slap is good and reduced rof is bad, where the airbrake can be of benefit. That said, i don't consider piston slap to be a particularly big issue at least from a noise perspective, if you truly care about silence then you might as well skip a few steps and jump straight to the logical end of such a quest which is a suppressed hpa. Yes please, we do indeed love sums here i don't doubt the concept should do something on paper, but wether or not that something is meaningful is an interesting question.

Its the potential for rebound, or settiling under pressure. And a varying aoe is exactly what you dont want

For a springer they have some logic to them, but i would have reservations about using them in an aeg given their intended function is to run counter to the needs of sector gear engagement.

Dont want it too tight though as you'll not be able to adjust motor height

so a viper chest rig, an m14, and a snow camo pattern inappropriate in all but the most Scottish of winters?

Glad to know i'm not the only one who can't not see caliber numbers when they appear.

We Makarov? No rail but some creativity could add one. Certainly it can be made accurate, at least as far as anything airsoft can be.

As an alternative to this for actually cleaning the barrel, I use a 5.56/.223 bore snake (also known as a pull through). Tight enough that it cleans the entire inner barrel in one pass and doesn't need loads of force to pull it through As long as it doesn't have any metal brushes/other components, dont want to be scratching the barrel/tearing at the hop unit. I did always keep a plastic rod i got with the mg42 in the kit bag with a few strips of cutup microfibre which is handy for when you forget to clean the barrel ahead of time.

i'm gonna offer the alternative solution: don't bring anything or in longer form, trying to work on a pew in the safe zone is at best going to be an exercise in frustration and at worst the easiest way to lose bits. do the work at home, get your gun in good order, and bring a spare (or two) if you can't accomplish it with a leatherman within a minute, it's probably a job worth waiting until you get home.

I do wonder that given his earlier (pre "going big") wasnt that bad that maybe its a case of wearing the mask long enough to become it? I remember him having more normal gameplay videos, the stuff where he was showing a lot of uncut footage of him being a hedge and occasionally someone would walk by him or he'd take a pot shot. Whilst it felt genuine, it would have been dreadfully boring to watch to someone who didnt play. Then ofc there's the video that gets picked up by the algorithm, a natural cheater encounter, ad revenue starts becoming a thing that exists in a meaningful way and it's a slow decline into having to seek out, then manufacturer drama to keep the clickbait machine fed. But then: Sounds like an equally plausible origin story.
