Unless you're playing at a cqb site with ammo weight limits then you want to be using heavier bbs anyway as you'll get better performance. Just be careful joule creep doesn't put you over site limits

To paraphrase Sir Mix-a-lot, I like big bangs and I cannot lie, so as long as they're not stupidly priced I might get one to see if they're any good

Scrolling through faceache I saw this announcement from JD Airsoft. It's not new ... just different! Introducing the FRAG (Field Reloadable Airsoft Grenade) and experience the ultimate build in reliability, affordability, and safety! With over 3 years of R&D, component testing and field stress checks, the FRAG is the most robust lightweight impact blank firing grenade on the market - A world's first in fact! Using the latest Dupont Hytrel 5556® thermoplastic polyester elastomer, the FRAG impact grenade is very light but very strong. Weighing in at only 195g the device is safer than any other throwing device available making CQB a much safer environment to play in. THE FRAG grenade is a product that will not only offer you a highly demanding reliable experience, but also at a cheaper and more affordable price point. On sale from 31st August - in store and online. Available in 10 different colours. FREE FRAG PATCH with every purchase (while stocks last). For now they take .209 primers. They haven't said anything about price yet so it'll be interesting to see how they compare to oshi booms and quake grenades

I don't know if it's the same seller or not but the pictures look like they've been cropped from here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235645841068?itmmeta=01J687RNQWWEZ2KB0BDSQ2HAED&hash=item36dd962eac:g:Iu0AAOSwfLtmjVC5

That's a very long winded way of saying piss off not our problem

Well if nobody else is going to post it here I guess I will

I use an AEG rather than a GBB, but I find 2 mags fit nicely into each pouch on my SADF M83 chest rig

I've always liked Ray Mears' tv shows as unlike most of the "survival experts" he doesn't do the macho bullshit that others try to do (and would probably get anyone it that situation for real killed) On the D of E gold hike I did on the Isle of Skye one of my teammates did the same on the morning of day 2 and we had to drag his arse across the island for the rest of the week. Not fun for him or the rest of us

Patch given to a shop at the NAF then posted to faceache

Not sure, I just googled lipo balance lead connector. If you contact component shop they should be able to advise you, I've found them to be very helpful in the past

Weirdly when I looked on component shop's website I couldn't find these but they do sell them via Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361450598112?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5339017890&toolid=10049&customid=Cj0KCQjwrKu2BhDkARIsAD7GBosh3ZxPy5l6GLyHGQatX96_4GFOdXIvxwbeiCk0_VDC4jq6_LP9yfMaAiECEALw_wcB&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrKu2BhDkARIsAD7GBosh3ZxPy5l6GLyHGQatX96_4GFOdXIvxwbeiCk0_VDC4jq6_LP9yfMaAiECEALw_wcB

So rare and vintage they're still for sale on Maglite's website https://maglite.com/collections/keychain-light

Definitely a scammer. This is what a Google search of that e mail address brings up To me if a username has a name in it and that name isn't in the e mail address that's a massive red flag

You're spot on about gas guns. I guess the effect isn't as obvious as muzzle energies are lower in full auto AEGs, rather than the method the bb is fired. After all the only difference between a spring powered bolt action and AEG is that one is manually cycled and the other uses gears and a motor

If that's how they react then fuck them off and find another site, preferably one who they know what they're doing and don't throw a tantrum when questioned

Anyone want a used clone shotgun in day glo blue for the same price as new?

A combination of that and laziness. Even if you don't want to mess about with changing settings on the chrono it only takes a few seconds to look at a chart like the one posted by ButcherBill

Sounds to me like the site owner either doesn't understand joule creep isn't a constant which affects all guns in the same way or is just too lazy to chrono properly. Yes it may take a little longer to get everyone sorted when chronoing with whatever ammo is used in game, but many other sites do it without a problem so it's obviously not impossible.

The instructions on my new deodorant says remove cap and push up bottom I'm not sure how taking my hat off will help but here goes nothing

And now for something a little more current

This. The real TM website is here https://www.tokyo-marui.co.jp/ While there are prices in the product catalogue section these are the RRP and there's no buy now button

As it was happening before the parts were changed it could be that you just need to dial the hop down a bit. Most GBBRs perform best with heavier ammo so if the previous owner left the hop up set for their preferred weight .2s will go skyward. Unless you play at a site with restrictions on bb weight then for best performance I recommend trying heavier bbs as GBBRs tend to give better performance but, as already posted, watch out for joule creep

Tbh I hadn't even considered the voodoo witch doctor stuff as to me that's more of an annoyance as it's pretty obvious they're bullshit and they usually just spam all sections rather than sticking to the classifieds. Admin do a pretty good of removing them quickly too but if they're unable to spam the forum anyway then that can only be a good thing. I agree that any approach needs to be multi layered and there's no 1 magic solution. As I've posted before the best deterrent to scammers is for all users to use common sense, stay vigilant and, possibly most importantly, call it out when they smell bullshit.

With VPNs being so common would country or region specific bans actually do anything?

Agreed. In the past viper kit was considered pretty crap but they've improved alot over the years. While it may not be up there with the real steel gucci gear it's certainly good enough for a sunday skirmish
