  1. I knew a guy whose upgraded Thompson had a legendary rate of fire, but was problematical because the magazine springs couldn't feed fast enough to keep up. The days when you just put a 9.6v and a 1j spring in a marui and ran it till the gearbox exploded...
  2. Once the BB leaves the barrel it will start to decelerate. There may be some slight residual acceleration from gas/air exiting the barrel but that would be negligible and only for a very short distance. Ye cannae break the laws of physics...
  3. I managed to find the post that got me banned from Arnies for "Trolling" back in 2005 😁
  4. I believe this is/was standard practice of the (in)famous Special Airsoft Supplies...
  5. One of the first forums I joined twenty odd years ago when I started. Lasted longer than many of the others.
  6. Well, a "Cosplayer" on their way to an event has realy stirred things up... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14349311/amp/moment-man-sniper-rifle-Elizabeth-line.html
  7. Unless you are dead set on an AEG, the WE Apache GBB is a nice bit of kit. All the appropriate bits are metal and three round burst is fun. Kicks a bit though and mags are heavy and limited rounds.
  8. Where do you get these from? Asking for a friend...
  9. Looking for something simple, and ended up building a "Toon" B24.
  10. I have had more interesting usernames elsewhere. I was "Paddy" on Techbrigade, ASCUK, UKASC and Arnies, on account of having Irish Roots. As I got old and boring I just started using an abbreviated "real" name. I remember a load of guys signed up to ASCUK as a team and were "Wolf Squad Gunnner" "Wolf Squad Sniper" "Wolf Squad Leader" and then pmd the admins for name changes when the team broke up. I do remember the time HaVoC MaN got himself banned, and we weren't using validation on new users, so he immediately rejoined as Beakersuxcock...
  11. Well, I saw this and it was hilarious. Spoiler allert*** GOLD PLATED DESERT EAGLES!!!
  12. I had an old pair of trackers that I managed to scratch the lens. Used them as a test pair, quite happily tool a .177 air rifle pellet without marking or deforming. Not massively scientific, but I was curious, having seen some alegedly "mil-spec" goggles crack from a 500fps sniper test.
  13. At the risk of putting this thread back on topic, there was nothing in the King's Speech suggesting further banning replica guns or removing the airsoft exemption...
