  1. I've had my left one done, the right is still a mess. Recovery wise. I got off the crutches very quickly for getting about short distances but fatigue in the knee brought quite a lot of pain so I took one crutch f I knew I'd be putting in the distances. Hot cold treatment helped me with tissue recovery, both the surgeon and physio were surprised how quickly I'd managed to progress. The thing that took the longest was flexation at the closed angle. Stick with the physio and grit your teeth. It's worth it but it feels like it takes forever at the time. My time off the field was about a year, though I did think that I could have get back a little sooner, but I'd consider the ground your playing on. My local is in no way flat or even ground but if its a flat industrial floor type site I'd say you would be able to lumber around that much earlier. I return to work was much sooner, even though I'm not a desk jockey. All that being said; grit your teeth, put the effort into rehab and you'll it'll feel much better.
  2. There is a reason that gopro have such a hold on action camera market. They are good, simply put and have set the consumer standard for years. I don't use mine for airsoft but have used and abused it with flight footage, and track days where it has been crashed and taken it all.
  3. i like the look of it but i reminds me of tha battlestar side arms
  4. If the gear box is slowing down its cycle I'd be checking for voltage sag as the fault. As to what's causing it, that could be a fair few things from excessive draw or a battery not being up to the job. If the battery is getting hot then swap it out for one that is rated for higher draw. If the battery isn't too hot but the motor is hot check the gearbox.
  5. I've used red dot engineering too and they are very helpful and the quality is good. I use real steel optics but not ones with lifetime warranties. I've not lost one yet as they all have lexan style protectors under the cowl/cover or in a printed sleeve.
  6. I guess you'd be able to do it with a winding one, if it has a spout protruding, like a universal adapter for the odin loaders.
  7. I know what you mean, i dropped a mag in a load of wet plaster board a few weeks ago, yuk. I found if I hook the follower with the tip of the speed loader then seat the loader into the feed tube the follower gets fed back into the mag. Trying to do it upside down for the camera is a pain but hopefully you get the idea. 20221005_154940.mp4
  8. A lot of mags have the long follower now to feed all the bbs. There's a knack to quick loading. I seem to manage OK with the 308 mags.
  9. Fingers crossed then, even of its just a quick coat of conformal to weather proof it it could be good news then.
  10. It's interesting, I'm not sure about the hop being integrated into the barrel. The power cut feature is something I always want but having it as a light sensor for a game played in the dirt seems odd especially as they have a mag driven version already.
  11. Not being on social media I haven't heard the jist of what's going on, but having met some players on a game a few weeks ago who were going, i wouldn't be surprised if its turned into a shit show. I'm glad I resisted the temptation of the shopping centre and didn't book.
  12. Had it. Its horrible, and even after it finally stopped I felt ruined for another day or so.
  13. @ak2m4Just done some measuring and they look to be the same, let me know when they get in and I'll pop and order in as I need a few bits as well.
  14. As far as inserts go have a look for kydex units. I use a set of 7.62 kydex grips in my bungee ak pouches, as I didn't want the bungee. The kydex holds the pouch open enough so I can jam a magazine in at speed and the shape of the kydex holds the mag tight enough that it doesn't jump about.
  15. If cared for and treated with respect, good quality lipos should be fine, with early signs of degradation showing so they can be disposed of safely. For charging peace of mind you can use a batsafe box. https://www.hobbyrc.co.uk/bat-safe?gclid=CjwKCAjwvsqZBhAlEiwAqAHElX2T_9NKuIuG2vme8rRhfg1GS7-mgRvmUDgyS89SZQIQcqabdr1OcRoCoAkQAvD_BwE Can be found with other retailers too. I use one while parallel charging 4s or 6s batteries.
  16. Does that thing use a v2 box with long nozzle or does it use a standard m4 nozzle?
  17. I have a gun too, I just prefer the very fine point to work with.
  18. I'd agree with that, without a doubt prices are going up, and its not even stiff pending release. I've noticed that all their re-stocking of magazines and such have all had price increase, what was £18 magazine is now a £25.
  19. I do, I build a lot of fpv drones so fine soldering isn't an issue, more finding the the parts is the hard work.
  20. Thank you, I'm sure they are four pin, I'll check and get a measurement at the same time.
  21. The surface mounted switch, circled in red, what is it called? It has failed and need a replacement. Ive swaped out the etu for another for the moment but for a quick bit of soldering if i can find the part this one will work again too.
  22. Ess eye wear have models which carry inserts. You get the prescription lense fitted to the inserts and then they mount into the goggle. And I'm sure oakley do prescription eye wear in the balistic range, they do it for sun glasses. I use ess eye pro and rate it highly, though I've not used the inserts as I wear contacts. Alternatively i know a few folk who wear glasses under dye masks but I guess it would be dependant on what profile your glasses hold as to whether they'd fit under.
