Just in case it wasn't obvious why they're called "Hi-capa's"......

Is it too wide or too long?

I regret selling my Marushin Super Redhawk. Only six shots as it was a proper shell one but 300fps and adjustable hop.
-
Then they should really do away with the "Licensed product of" markings.

At the other end of the spectrum, I sometimes call hits only to realise a moment later it was likely some debris falling from the trees.

Taiwangun Shipping Disruption (Brexit Related Content)
Cr0-Magnon replied to Speedbird_666's topic in General Discussion
They're an interesting shop. I got a pistol from them and it came straight from the WE factory, slide in one shipment and frame in the other. -
Good luck with that. They stopped making them some time ago.

Why isn't there a Hi-Point airsoft replica ?

At $179 for a CF-380, could it be the first airsoft replica to cost more than the real-plastic?
Of course, everybody would want a Yeet Cannon.
Sort of do want.

@Rogerborg - Even more of a case for it being spring powered!
Surely some of these Glocks are approaching RS price or higher. Especially like if with the GHK one, the mags are £40+.

Oh airsofters never change. Some gems from yesterday: "Push forward!" - Screamed by the same few people who always seemed to be at the back of the crowd ? "I upgraded my gun to a 11.1 lipo" "I felt a hit from the side but took a look and there wasn't anyone there, so didn't call it. Then I got shot again and noticed there was someone hiding in a bush" Player: "Guys, I've just been hit by a sniper" Marshal: "Dead men don't talk" Player: "That doesn't count because I didn't say where he is"

Good YouTube channels for reviews and tips etc

I don't see the issue here. Have you never been shot in the forehead, bloody hurts! -

Cr0-Magnon replied to RostokMcSpoons's topic in General Discussion
I can't imagine truly trusting a retailers review of a product they stock. The same goes for most channels which have had the product sent to them for free and not even properly tested/used it, yet can't stop gushing over how amazing it "Phenomenal accuracy from this Raven Hi Capa. Here's me firing five shots, indoors and from three metres away." -
Best day in my airsofting history was today
Cr0-Magnon replied to LzChase's topic in General Discussion
I've currently got two DMR's on Negative Airsofts waiting list. Ones a G&G MBR 556 and the other this. Gonna be tough to decide which to keep ? -
Is it illegal if they can show they've already sold it to an international customer?
-
It'd still be nice for it to not fire when you inserted the mag. Although we shouldn't even be relying on not "flagging" people. If you don't want to shoot someone who isn't wearing eye pro, make sure mags are out and chambers are clear. If you want to at least make a concentrated effort not to shoot a team mate, trigger discipline n' all that... Also confusingly the pic is of a Gen.3 ?
-
It's taken me a long time to realise but as the great @Rogerborgonce said, all Airsoft guns do the same thing. Some a bit more reliably, some a bit quicker or a bit further but most just fine.
-
Yep, change the stock parts on the off chance that they would have failed at some point within the next three years....sell the gun two months later! Only then are you a proper airsofter.
-
The other issue is how many people say "just a shim and grease please" There's a lot of FOMO in airsoft - people who've never even used their guns asking how to get max range, accuracy and even ROF from them. So there's a lot of "make my gun the best it can be" which means new gears, piston, mosfet, a barrel etc and even paintjobs!
-
Only put it through one skirmish (which is one skirmish more than most youtube reviewers!) but so far very pleased with my XTC-G1 MS Aster. Not cheap or easy to find but solidly built, quiet/sounds perfectly shimmed out of the box, as well being jam packed with quality parts - including my favourite mosfet!
-
Let's face it, many things we do as airsofters are not because they're essential. A lot of people change parts before they break, just in case those parts break and need changing....which of course in itself is somewhat illogical. If you have a trusted tech and you're happy paying extra plus possibly waiting a good while longer (many reputable techs have long lists), then why not eh. I'm also guilty of this but do think in general we do spend far more time worrying about tweaking our toys than just getting stuck in on a game day.
-
Age is (kinda) just a number, it's a cliche but it can definitely be true. Being young often helps but is no guarantee of good health. So really depends how the individual feels. Although saying that and perhaps this is slightly dark but I can just imagine someone having a heart attack and there's a neurotic little twerp screaming "take your hits!" at them.
-
I actually think they should double the minimum age. No under 25's, at least a three day induction course, six months of banks statements and a permission slip signed by your wife/partner. If you're not married/living with your partner, you can't play. Save the space for those of us who have a legitimate reason to leave the house at 6am on a weekend.

Just went to my local (TWA Croydon) today. A pretty average day in terms of gameplay but I am happy with my new M4 (Modify XTC with Gate Aster) and the 9.9V life batteries which I think I'll replace all my lipos with. Although I did have an amusing thought. Some airsofters get so excited spending half their monthly salary buying a new gun or "upgrading" one they already have. They'll argue with people endlessly about which is the best make, which is the (only) way to do something or even which BB weight to use. Then an hour in to actually playing and they're moping around at the back, looking almost completely disinterested.

I have two of the flash mag version for my Scorpion evos. They came as separate mag and adaptor (obviously mine came with the Evo adapter), so I assume it's the same or a similar system. I like mine, they're solidly built and feed well.

Using gear like this actually saves you money in the long run. If you just shoot an airsofter, they'll go to respawn and be back in the game a moment later (unless it's after lunch, then it takes much longer). When you have the ability to DESTROY your opponents, they're likely to just give up forever, question the meaning of life and likely spend the rest of their days living as a hermit. After all, unless you're actually reducing the number of people who enjoy playing, are you even really winning?
