[First day, underwhelmed. Is this what all airsoft events are like?]

I am going to generalise but since covid i have found every site i have been to a little lack luster.  

 

Our local site.. The late the great Combat South ( pours drink ) closed. So we have tried lots of other sites and have not yet found one we would go back to regularly.

We have had some fun, don't get me wrong. Sadly the effort most sites seem to be putting OR equally the lack of staff they seem to have these days seems fairly noticeable. 

I am no Combat South fan boy ( Love you Russ ) . They had some games that didn't work and honestly most weekends were a rinse and repeat of tried and test scenarios.  But it was always delivered to a high standard, the marshal's were visible and engaged. They also provided a high quality lunch. (Which i do not understand why other sites who are now charging upwards of £25 a person, do not provide something so basic. Well not without an additional fee. Tight asses)

I am hoping that as Covid fucks off, that competition for players returns and the the sites start upping their effort. 

 

Or i'm just jaded and overly entitled....

Or due to the great sites being lost to housing developers that the glory days of airsoft are dead.

 

Or because today's airsofter seems to be weak, whiny and scared of being drilled full auto.

Or its the speed softers fault. 

 

.......... it is speed softers fault

[How do I prevent or mitigate gearbox cracking in the future?]

Radius the gear box and do not put in too big a spring and you will be fine. 

 

If you are planning on going DMR then you are putting stresses on a box that it was never designed to take. So other than going for a good brand of AEG it will or will not split

The title makes less sense than I do after a few tequilas but someone has already beat me to posting a video of Sir Cuntly and his magic sniper hits. The only airsoft player who seems to have an infinite range, perfect accuracy sniper rifle, not affected by environment or weather.

LOL, ain't we all, we're quick to put the boot in but I wonder how many would have bought kit if the price was right ? 

 

Obviously that's a rhetorical question & we're all gonna take the moral high ground in disgust 😏

 

I would risk assess the chance of me being caught vs the saving on some nods.

 

No, No .. I would 100% buy it. There is no question around it.

But... it "lifts 0.4s through the wind 100M to the target!"  Curious that the chrono figure given is for 0.3g, but presumably it applies the TM magic equally strongly to any BB blessed enough to be shot from it.

Apparently it achieves this physics breaking, sniper beating range with duster gas too. 

Fuck me TM is incredible! 

 

Extra value is achieved by the banged up oxidized mag on the far left.

TM mp7 gbbs seem to swing massively in price. I've seen packages go for £300 with 5 mags in good condition to well... that

 

I paid £500 for a brand new one that a guy have bought and not got on with. 
Came with 5 Mags, all boxes, working PEQ, Surefire copy, tail switches, Angry Gun suppressor, Hard case, Real Slingster, Sling mount, Spare upgrade nozzles, custom plate carrier panel for the mags, Gas and 8k of bbs.

I'm hoping this new rule set catches on and spreads to other sites. You know, like banning KickingMustang

Tbh I’m pretty sure if you turned up with a painted two tone and didn’t point out it was a painted two tone just to make a statement. You would be fine.

Op message @quango2k and ask him nicely to mill you one using a real Magpul of your choice. 
You will end up with exactly the grip you need and it wont cost you the earth.

[What is reasonable wear and tear for an airsoft RIF?]

What is reasonable wear and tear for an airsoft RIF?

I purchased a G&G GC16 back in June 2021, Sunday it died after one hour of game play. 

 

The consensus is that the motor spins and the gears are spinning, the piston is not engaging. 

 

What other reason can there be for a RIF to fail? Can a spring be the issue?

I called the shop and got some BS comment about warranty "Only if it is never fired" yet this item died and I would expect at least 3 or 4 years out of it at the level I play at, being twice a month, so about 14 odd times...

 

While its shit. You kind of need to see it from the shop overs point of view. 
Every person who calls them with a broken gun, will tell him its only just fired a few rounds and barely seen day light. 

You can break a perfectly good AEG very quickly with bad ammo, over power battery, spamming the trigger faster than the gun can function, getting a jam and keeping firing, doing some "maintenance on it" etc etc  So if i was a retailer I would just assume everyone is a dick and write my policy to match
I always assume my AEG is going to break and carry a backup. Because.. I am sometimes right

The good news is now you can get it correctly shimmed, take out the ton of grease it doesn't need, maybe short stroke the box, add a stronger spring. Very cheap mods making a huge difference. 
While its apart replace the hob rubber and nub with a mapleleaf.

Trying to find a bead on a Krytac Vector that's actually in stock in the UK but I'm guessing the customs hold up has caught them. Anyone got any leads? There's probably a local site that's got a few on the wall that I'd love to buy!

 

I had a Vector and sold it after a month.

It was an itch i wanted to scratch and it did not fail me. In fact it worked really well.

Just after owning it. I did not like the feel or general "pointyness" of it for CQB. Its also fucking heavy.

If you haven't actually held one in anger. I would recommend you do that first before making the leap. If you can actually find one.

[Acceptable rates of fire]

Well to be fair high ROF is simply a side effect of achieving fast trigger response and cycle time.

I'm sure that back when MOSFETs were not a thing (and most importantly we didn't have dickheads posting on YouTube) nobody really complained about being peppered by 30 RPS guns.

I agree it is a sickening result, due to the sites being all pussy now and demanding more and more single fire

Back when we ran AEGs, carrying 6-9 Hicaps, 9.6v 3300a batteries and 20k of spare bbs in your backpack.. (Just incase.) 

It was never an issue 

 

 

Make full auto great again!
