  1. can we take a moment to appreciate the position of that foregrip?
  2. as long as from the enemy's perspective you walk out of their sight and don't come back for a realistic amount of time i don't see the issue.
  3. so, ummm

     

    this is a thing:

    and they told me they weren't restocking them either......

      the ak isn't as unweildy as you'd think as long as you're not filling the whole front end with aluminium rails.....

      I know that they aren't unweildy ;) My 74u is actually pretty balanced despite being made of granite or something.

      It's just that adding 800 grams right on the tip would make it really unbalanced.

      it's not so bad, had a pretty heavy can on my e&l 74u.

       

      this is going to be a situational thing though, for night games etc.

       

      although granted it does make a stronger argument for getting a 105 over a 74m :P

  4. same, i mean when you're selling secondhand stuff you're gonna be taking such a loss anyway from depreciation. same with paypal fees, end of the day it's the price you pay for convenience of being able to safely accept money and not worth arguing over. skipping a days shooting is going to save you more money than you're gonna lose in postage+fee's most of the time.
  5. agreed, both buying and selling it's easier to just give a straight posted price. only time i can see postage being a big enough issue to deal with separately is if you're posting international which isn't a massive issue given most of our members are uk based.
  6. not really an issue with the pricing here given all the stuff that comes with it, but a dsg on a barrel that length? edit: forget that, looky what i just found: even if it's a recoil model that's a tad steep given the info provided.....
  7. why did i decide to try refinishing the makarov with aluminium black, soooooo much sanding......

  8. In theory yes, additionally it'll lose energy slightly faster than an equivalent 6mm projectile so at the same range it'll also have less energy to be transferring over that larger area. Of course if its sub 1j at the muzzle then frankly such an argument is pointless anyway because it aint gonna be layin down that much hurt even point blank.
  9. honestly so many still don't. you'll get places will kick you off for being 1fps over with the hop turned off but don't bother chrono'ing pistols or care about joule creep. end of the day what matters is that the rounds your sending downrange in-game are within the specified energy limit.
  10. all you need is the weight of ammo. the diameter is irrelevant for muzzle energy calculations, indeed it only comes into play if you're trying to work out things like drag/magnus lift but that's well beyond the scope of what a site needs to do. it isn't all that hard to take X energy and print out a strip for all the common bb weights showing the appropriate fps, sites are just too wedded to the whole chrono'ing on .2's thing.
  11. Agreed, cant see any reason why 8mm would be banned. Unskirmishable due to rarity of guns that use it and ammo to fire yes, but not any other reason.
  12. Fair point, i mean if i coulda got new prices.......
  13. eh, by the time you worked it all out and did the usual 60% it wasnt far off. such a niche gun i'm surprised it sold at all
  14. Typical government sheeple, do you not realise they can track you down now you've registered it?
  15. i was meaning in general sympathising with folk who want to start up this hobby but can't afford to. of course in this case it's very much taking the mick, especially when his criteria are "a reliable gun that doesn't break", well get a cyma ak then.....
  16. Whilst i sympathise with the guy, there are countless people who want to take up a hobby but cant afford to, why should we help him specifically get his dream gun, especially if he's apparently too proud to run a budget gun? Theres asking for charity and theres taking the piss, this is very much the latter.
  17. *checks code* yep that's £90 off my windowshopping basket......
  18. the ultimate series are pretty decent imo, only problem is any issues in the box and the motor will just keep on chugging whilst ripping apart anything that tries to stop it. £380 for an lct ak with no noteworthy alterations? sure the cyma ak mags are good mags but they aren't exactly expensive either......
  19. tbf marui users aren't the only ones who can deck a gun in shiny and expect it to work better. it's just that the tm recoil platform seems to attract enough of that type of player to make a stereotype. i don't mind it, especially when it makes their guns shoot worse, makes my life much easier
  20. tbf though, it's not like a gun being sold "working" is any guarantee of not finding something horrible going on inside. although if we're being super fair it's not like buying a gun brand new is a guarantee of not finding something horrible going on inside......
  21. which degree rubber are you running and what sort of energy output are you getting? i find the maple leaf 50 degree (green) can lift up to .48g at 1j, so with lighter ammo and higher energy you could look at the 60 degree (tan)
  22. are they blaming a broken bb for issues of uniformity that could damage an aeg? cos if you're putting a bb in that state into your gat you deserve everything you get......
  23. yeah i've heard a lot of similar stuff about the clones with the handles etc. and i must admit the dutch version rolls off the tongue better than the english lol.
  24. i'd give you an expected lifetime for the og m12, but mine hasn't broken yet..... for context i bought mine before the clones hit the market....
