Airsoft-Ed

Yeah you still need the nub in the hop unit to apply downwards pressure when you adjust your hop. All R hop is, is the replacement of the dimple in your hop rubber, for a flat piece of rubber that completely fill the hop window cut in the barrel, and sits flush inside the barrel.

I think you're a bitch anyway, Finius :3

This is the best documented shot I've ever seen:

Not a lot you can do then really. You need evidence that you're a skirmisher, a load of photos or the say so from your site operator are about as good as you can give without UKARA, but even then there's nothing to say the seller has to sell to you.

450ft is more like 135/140m

Proper read that as "urinated eyes" a good 5 or 6 times there, I was just sat here thinking, "...What? Pissed on eyes...?" Haha But anyway, my issue with it is that the over the top way it's presented is sort of similar to those scams you get emails about, where on the surface you think, "Hmm, yeah" but the second you actually give it some thought, you immediately turn your nose up and delete the email. Like those bots that like airsoft pages just to try and sell hangbags on Facebook, y'know? You'll go on the profile and there'll be some photos and it'll look like a genuine person, but then you check their interests and look at their posts and you realise they have nothing to do with airsoft at all and thus; *decline request to join* Like Britain First's Facebook page! That sort of weird propagandist type affair, except this doesn't have a clear cut goal. I just think the whole thing seems a bit scary, like someone's just thought, "How can we get airsofter's attention?" then compiled a list of all the stuff airsofters like, without knowing themselves, hence the unusualness, and then crammed it all into one paragraph to try and sell the idea, but instead it's just come across as some really terribly written, rip off of the RMC recruitment ads. Like it's just trying to sucker in some naïve people who might not know any better. For what purpose? No idea. But I'm going to be avoiding it like the plague. There was another similarly walt-tastic page floating around not so long ago where some individual bloke, who almost definitely will have been on some sort of register, was trying to build a team up and this just hums all the same tunes. Might I have got the wrong end of the stick and blown this ridiculously out of proportion? Yeah, and I kinda hope I have because I'd love nothing more than to be wrong and if I am, I apologise. But this whole thing just gives me all sorts of funny gut feelings. So if I am wrong, you really need to work on your writing and change your approach.

Is the age of all the members actually in double digits yet? This sounds more and more like a kiddies commando club with every comment.

Just take enough batteries to last?

You choose to pick that out when "dumb" is also spelt wrong... Riiiight, you're clearly an English language boff.

I set up an airsoft society for my Uni when I was there, and everyone who joined just kept their kit covered up and under their bed, nothing's come of it yet. Our union refused us space to store RIFs on campus, so we had no option but to store them in halls/appartments or whatever, and it's not like they didn't know because we had a freakin' airsoft society, the guns had to exist somewhere. In the event of enforcements coming in, I'd offer my house as a storage vault, as I stayed at home for Uni, but it never came to it. Once one of my mates was fondling his new M4 whilst sat on his bed and security just randomly walked in and didn't even bat an eyelid lol, he had a conversation about how he used to shoot MP5 in the army or something. TL;DR Don't be a dick with it and no one will be any the wiser.

Are you sure it's the valve that's the issue and not just the base plate O ring? Try dunking it under water to see where the leak's coming from.

Hmm, that's a pain =/ Spark plug adaptor? http://www.carsparkplugs.com/spark-plug-thread-adaptors-brass-22mm-down-to-14mm.html?gclid=CIuik7eH3r8CFfOhtAods1QALA#.U9EKi4BdVZE

Just use a standard suppressor tracer unit and go for that badass Russian soldier from Metal Gear Solid 2 look.

Oh, I like you more now People who put 74 mags in 47s and vice versa are heathens.

Have you thought about mag based tracers? I bet there are tracer mids.

Inb4 everyone advises against getting a sniper as a first gun. Seriously. "Sniper" is just a word. It has absolutely no correlation whatsoever with the actual capabilities of the rifle. Rental guns will be better that any sniper out of the box, you need like £300 of upgrades to make them worth it. I spent over £600 on mine and gave up. Get an AEG, for the love of all that's holy.

When you arrive you get given a written briefing in an envelope. Each team have the same objectives and they're all at set times through the day, so it might say that at 1400hrs you need to assault and capture the fort in the middle of the site. It keeps the battles focused in key areas. I actually really like that type game plan, with time objectives and stuff like that. You can fight to the location earlier to get a foothold, at the expense of losing control of an earlier objective. But it just doesn't work too well with 2000 players. If there were 3 teams of 30 it'd be the most intense as fuck game day ever but the whole point of the NAE is that it's ridiculously over subscribed, so I guess you have to leave it to MilSim events to do the same thing with more condensed numbers.

Yeah, I think there's a vast world of difference between actual maximum range, and the range at which it's actually possible to hit someone without them having time to get out of the way. I think everyone's effective range is only really about 30-40m unless you're firing on semi because then it's harder to figure out where the shots are coming from, harder to see singular shots in the air coming at you etc. Snipers may have a greater effective range, but that's down to their higher power, faster shot travel time, and the fact that a lot of the time they're using non-white ammo and obviously, also only firing one shot at a time. The range debate is fairly pointless tbh and I know the question was asked more for the sake of technical exercise; "What set up provides X range" etc. But no two guns are the same even from the same manufacturer, so it's no good for that either.

See I actually have 140m of flat, open space where I can test range using Google maps. My AK, which I know from experience in games can outrange just about anything, can only just about reach 50m, and that's with a degree of arcing. Maybe aiming 1-5ft high, I forget. It's firing at 320ish and then loaded with .25s. My SCAR set to around 370 on .2s, which rather terrifyingly actually makes it fire .28s at, wait for it... 370fps... Dat joule creep doe... Can hit 70m flat with ease. It might even be 80 but I lose sight of the shots before my 80m marker. All I'm going to say is, a lot of you have no idea how far a metre is... Oh and, Maple Leaf rubbers are OP.

Handful of screw drivers of various lengths and head types, a little swiss army knife style allen key tool, duct tape, electrical tape, PTFE tape, silicone spray and grease, pliers of various types, needle nose, wire cutting etc. I think that's everything. Actually no, I also have a gas valve key.

Noice, I might see you there.

Yeah and if you have the Gimpy to hand then it'd be a shame not to pose with it at every given opportunity, because that thing is as beautiful as the loadout
