Who's a good TAC-41 P... yes you are... yes you are... good boy...

As there's no easy to read long term discussions on this topic anywhere, posts on Facebook / WhatsApp just drift further away over time and I'm finding these events to be the most fun I have playing airsoft (reduced pressure and you can play the long game), I thought I'd start a topic on this. The link to their website is... https://redalertpaintball.co.uk/booking/airsoft-battlesim-lite/ ... and the rules are pretty much as a standard skirmish but... This will consist of a morning and afternoon non stop game with fixed point and rolling objectives given by your team commander. Teams will still be designated with tapes/armbands and there will be no weapon/ammo limits or medic rule as per a normal skirmish. ... and with Red Alert having such a big forest based site you can really lose yourself in the environment and fun of it all. Starting in 2025 they're doing them every two months, and in the summer of 2025 they were getting 120+ players for them. As long as the weather is good, I'm too soft to play in the rain and heavy wind is no fun, the next one is 2/2/2025. It'll be the first use of my TAC41-P in anger and God only knows how that will go (with my DMR as a backup). Is anyone else here planning on going?

I know about Gunman with their FilmSim games, but for Skirmish I've never seen that DMR's must be real steel equivalent (at least at Bravo). I've never played at any UCAP sites but their website rules do not state that a DMR has to be real steel equivalent, only "Realistic Immitations (sic) Firearms (RIFS) only", which is anything that looks potentially like it could be a real firearm.

UK sites? Personally I've not played at a single site that's told me my DMR has to match a real steel of any sort. Do you mind me asking what sites they are?

Don't worry, I know the reality 🤣 (one of my highlights from 2024 though was being sat in a bush for around 20 minutes after my team moved on, hoping I don't get cramp / ticks on me / wondering how wet my arse can get, and then an enemy squad wanders by and my DMR sends them all home with shouts of "WTF" and "Where did that come from") I'm hoping that all I need is the updated concave chub nub, 100nm spring and spacers, a couple of extra mags, and a new scope that's got a higher zoom than my DMR 🤞

Yeah, must remember the "P" has the longer inner barrel.

I've bitten the bullet and bought a TAC-41 P (in FDE) from Skirmshop, let's see how long it takes to arrive over Christmas. In the end I decided... I didn't want to buy second hand, I'm just not sure I'll trust what I'm getting. I thought it best to go with the longer inner barrel and the solid body (a bit more old school). So I've now got until 2nd Feb 2025 to get it just right, ready for the next Red Alert "Battlesim Lite". I think I'm going to go 0.48g and the 120n Silverback spring, but not sure which scope 🤔 (probably a LPVO, 50mm, and use it at around 10x)

Thanks, and as far as I'm aware it's the older fixed hop version. I really like it, but I'd never use it as I've multiple AAP-01's for different situations.

I'm a lucky boy and now unexpectedly have in my collection a brand new Tokyo Marui Tactical Master. I'm really not sure what to do with, but to make sure all is OK I put gas in the mag (no leaks) and dry fired it a few times, and thinking I'll keep it I took the tag off of it (doh!). If I did sell it here any ideas what I should be asking for it?

As Jar Jar said "how rude"! Headless Chickens though are hard to hit, a little bit of movement screws everything up when playing as DMR / sniper whilst that heavy BB's hopes the target is still where it was a second or two ago.

I bought a boneyard CYMA MP5K, that came with a few mags, just for this reason. It works beautifully now with a GATE Titan v3, XT brushless motor and 7.4v LiPo's, however it's become an ornamental pew pew that I use rarely just as a novelty. It's just so HEAVY as a sidearm and to be honest gets in the way more than a pistol does if I'm crawling through bushes and undergrowth So, 100% a pistol all the way for me (although using an AAP-01 it's not the quietest).

Right now Patrol Base have the Double Eagle M904E for £149.99 (if you have UKARA, add on £10 for two-tone), which at that price is very good value (I bought one on Sunday for a friend). However, I don't know what batteries you're currently using for your "CYMA M4" as using a Double Eagle M900 with anything other than 11.1v is a big compromise as the trigger response is sluggish on 7.4v.

I'd strongly suspect that it's a cycle control / active braking issue. @JinxDuh is cycle control enabled / in the GCS app on your smartphone do you see it correctly observing the sector gear teeth / what level of active braking do you have set?

Mods, I was going to reply but is this another of of those scam posts?
