Give it a few years and possibly Shift Your Rift will be the better weekender, with all you have at NAF being YouTuber's and cheaters.

Do you pick the teams on the day? (I think it's only the full milsim where you sign up to a specific team on the website at the time of purchase?) -

Think I'm gonna give this one a punt, especially as my son says he's a bit bored of standard skirmishes. -

I saw this on my Facebook feed, and I could swear that the the guy in the middle has been the head marshal sometimes at Camouflage Airsoft in Alton? -

The worst one for me, just because a marshal questions your hit taking you don't have to chest bump them and ask them to come out to the car park 🙄

Found some really cheap 0.40g BB's, thought "wow" and bought 4,000 of them for the DMR. Now I have them I realise they're black 😢

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Fatboy40 replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I got distracted buying a pistol speed loader and bought two CTM TAC Magazine Extension Plate's for my AAP-01... https://i.imgur.com/ESj7Kpy.jpg ... as I liked the thought of more gas in the mag and a few more BB's. Pretty simple to install... https://i.imgur.com/p712x6p.jpg ... and look good... https://i.imgur.com/DLW0z7y.jpg ... but don't work with the Action Army flared magwell which I had to remove As expected the extra gas made the pistol too hot and added around 0.17J over my usual power using Nuprol 3.0, all good though on Nuprol 2.0. -
AK2M4 / XT AEG Springs, Bloody Indestructible!...
Fatboy40 replied to Fatboy40's topic in Electric Guns
I'm off work for a few days so the cutting wheel turned up today, and I shat my pants when the sparks started to fly from it cutting the spring 💩 🤣 (put on some gloves and safety glasses after that). @ak2m4 I cut just over a coil of an M130 to get my DMR to spot on 1.6J on 0.40g BB's. -

... which is a very good thing for them holding their shape / strength, but makes it impossible (at least for me) to cut off a coil. I bent the blades on a pair of snips and took all the teeth off a Dremel cutting wheel trying to do it 🤣 Unless @ak2m4 has a magic trick to doing it I'm stumped (looks like heat won't help as the cutting wheel got the spring lava hot).
-
I very much doubt that this is related to your problems but using a "full" cylinder with a 300mm length inner barrel will mean that your RIF is waaaaaaaay over volumed (the volume of air pushed out by the piston. Google "airsoft over volume" as you may want to potentially consider changing it.
-
You've missed a key point out from your post... what weight BB's are you using? (Just saying 250 FPS, with no context, doesn't help)
-
It does sound like the spring to me unfortunately. You disassemble the spring mechanism to try and re-tension it, and it can also come lose in the centre so there's only enough tension for a few shots. They produce a replacement spring mechanism, I bought a few of them but they're so hard to buy, however they always ended up failing again. If you want to try and use a pistol as a primary weapon HPA and an M4 / MP5 magazine adapter is the only reliable solution.

I can't remember if this is mine or someone else's Google Drive... https://drive.google.com/file/d/15npk1PM_xZuPK7iq8uv-6dGuvi2mqTRz/view?fbclid=IwAR36uGD575BIxHxZKdy7LmaixHZqAnEkjojmOEYP0qmlT1cwm7wIkB2IM38 ... but hopefully you can view it (ignore that the mag adapter on the top is not a Glock style). In the end I got rid of my one, which I used with an AAP-01, as it was just so bloody unreliable with the spring always failing.
