  1. I've been using geoffs .3 tracers and found them very good. Outdoor and tactical is where I usually find them. The website is a bit jankie but get the filter to just display tracers and pop up.
  2. How often do I play? A lot less than I'd like to. this year has been shocking with only a couple of events and no skirmish days. Life, family, funds, everything has seemed to be stacked against it this year but i live in hope and look forward with anticipation when i do manage to have the stars align.
  3. I use 4s lipos for flight quite often, along with a smattering of 6s but if you're not going their change the motor limit its output I'd guess something is going to get lunched. Last time I did something similar I ran a 4s wound motor (brushless) 2200kv on a race drone on 6s and the rpm was bananas, I did have a spotter and the comment was, "where the fuck did that go!"
  4. True At a skirmish day I'd agree that they aren't really worth it, where events and sims generally have a more experienced playerbase.
  5. True accidents can happen, the aim away method is one sites way of mitigating some of the risk. I reality all we can do is tackle the basics where reasonably practicable and where people can be advised and have appropriate responses planned for possible events. That does put an emphasis on the site to have plans in place and acted upon as well as players acting in a responsible fashion, which has never failed on an airsoft field clearly.... hold on.... The picture I guess is from a milsim where they player is popped out the roof and taken a tag to the nose.
  6. I have a 40mm launcher which I use tlfx mortar rounds. There's a couple of sites near me that allows the use, they also happen to allow tag use. They address the the direct impact issue by increasing the kill radius so they can be aimed away more but still be effective in play. I haven't used the tag launcher but mine is great fun but they are very situational, and it isn't something that I'd take to every game. Sim days and events only really. Regards the weight of the rnd, the mortars I have weight about the same as a tlfx multi-bang though that would be significantly reduced once its launched. So any thing that weighs less surely won't be an issue. I think the biggest problem you'll find is sites granting permission if they haven't seen one before and it would depend very much on the specifics of the sites insurance cover. The other issue is that if it doesn't make a bang how many people are going to notice it coming down and wait to see if it eliminates them from play.
  7. First I'd suggest not buying anything until you know what the issues is. There may be nothing wrong with the stock parts, and if there are, and its was purchased new from patrolbase then they should be giving you a new one. Alternatively Check the seal on the compression parts. If its good then move to the hop up unit and nozzle mating. If all is consistent then look to the spring. Once all above have done then the Perun to add functionality. It could be something as simple as new oring.
  8. You lot aren't doing me any favours, if you'd have said it was shit life would be so much easier. Arrrhrhhh.
  9. If you aren't ready to buy mags yet the pouring things are a useful idea, but the fixed size also means they'll rattle a bit. If you use a small elastic sock that will contract as you empty it you won't get the rattle. I only use midcaps bit have made up a container for sim games and long games where I'm likely to need to reload before having to go back to spawn/hq for resupply. Small sock, neck of a plastic bottle, and a couple of cable ties and you're good to make your own.
  10. I found the maxx units of late to be shit. I've got a lonex hop unit with maple leaf rubber and an omega nub non maple, slightly softer version. It works well.
  11. I didn't know of the site until this post, so thank you for that. I do love some cqb in non warehouse environments. However in the rules it mentions all gun that have semi and can meet the fps rules are OK, but same page states they allow binary triggers with 2rnds per trigger pull, which isn't semi in my mind. A pinch of salt maybe....
  12. You're not wrong. Playing the now gone bravo site in Birmingham, I took a trmr to the head. Someone threw it over a bar top surface as they came into the pub area and I was down behind it reloading.
  13. Another vote for red dot engineering. I've used a couple of their protectors and they've been great. I use them a cutting service when I'm busy, putting the discs between the flip cap body and the lense of various optics. Clarity is great and impact has claimed a lense since I started using them. I do usually order a couple of each size I use as I always seem to end up in the wet and mud during night games amd grit is a thing, so I sometimes switch lense covers then clean later.
  14. What about some rubber sheet, it could be purchased as a sheet and then hung by the top edge only. Or butchers curtain in two layers, the movement should take some of the bounce out of the bb and allow to to drop, with the second layer there to stop bursts.
  15. A good seller should have the battery dimensions listed as part of the item information.
  16. The outer barrel has to be g&g. The reason being that g&g 308s use a deeper outer barrel to make use of standard v2 gearbox and nozzle parts while bridging over the larger magazine well. Handguards are much more optional as longbas they have their own barrel nut/mounting system included.
  17. I'd second what impulse said. Inhave the vision king lpvo and it works just fine, glass is clear but I still only use it for dmr or sniper. I don't use it in general as the prefer a straight up red dot for closer work as I fond the eye relief better and the 1.5 isn't quite as easy to ignore for me as I'd like. For dmr use or anything with a MED its perfect. Use the adjustment dials to zero it and then take the time to learn the holds so you aren't messing with adjustments in game. Bbs just aren't consistent in the wind to make full use of that functionality.
  18. Another vote for hobbyrc. They have been my go to for batteries, chargers and a lot of my flight stuff for years. Skyrc and isdt chargers are what I use. For ease of use the skyrc are great. Isdt has a lot more options but that comes with some complexity.
  19. Unless you see the bounce or ricochet then call it.
  20. Well it might have to stay wish list for a while as I've just started pricing it up, but mws is now at the top of the list, bumping the akx down a spot.
  21. If ak2m4 is doing his own barrels then I'd be tempted to try those too to be fair. Ak2m4 is my usual go to for parts.
  22. I know a proportion of us love a movie replica, but a good few beers and predator on film 4.... damn I want to build a m16a2 with the under barrel gl. I know someone here must have done it, as angrygun produce the receiver set, someone please put me out of my misery and show me a build as its a wish list for me, and not likely to get done anytime soon.
  23. I've found zci barrels very good and solid fit with maple leaf rubbers when it comes to the window. I used them for a dmr setup and again when I changed the barrel length.
  24. I know its not quite the brief but consider the jg bar 10. They are about the £100 and are a vsr clone. It's been a staple bolt action in the hobby for long time. They arentnbad from the box and of tou wanted to upgrade parts then there's plenty of scope and if not they usually sell well on the pre owned market.
