    Great. Remove Teflon tape from M16 = FPS goes up by 5. Now getting 370. Got any ideas on quickly lowering FPS without opening the gearbox?

      Pierce the air nozzle with a pin? That's what I did with my MP5, brought it down by 30

    2. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      The air nozzle's already got a hole in it (drilled as it's a metal nozzle), which Fire Support did because it came shooting 360, that lowered it to 340, and now it's gone back up again...

      clean the nozzle's hole with a pin

  2. Liam Porter

    Well, my step-dad's being stupid once again, he's convinced he gets a higher MPG out of his car by putting magnets on the fuel line...

      two_zero, what polarity in fuel molecules? :P

    3. two_zero

      the reversed extra polarity.

      What?

  3. Liam Porter

    Well I have a problem; convincing my friend to do airsoft for his birthday over paintball. I don't really want to pay £50 for 1000 shots of inaccurate paint, and have to wear the full face mask and silly overalls...

      show him some videos, seeing the amount of realism should get him to like it. Well thats what happened to me :P

    2. M_P

      M_P

      Tell him you get full auto, realistic guns, more ammo and it's much cheaper. There is no real advantage to paintball at all as far as I can see.

    3. TacMaster

      Only advantage to paintball is that people don't look at you like a weirdo when you mention it

    Found a good use for some of my A Level work from last year - a full length paper barrel spacer.

  5. Liam Porter

    How does the FPS of my M16 increase over the period of a year or so, without me changing anything?

      I've taken the barrel/hop out, but it's been gradually getting higher, rather than a sudden increase.

    3. M_P

      Maybe its letting out one of those slow squeaky farts

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Maybe, but it needs to be lowered again... I've actually just thought of what might be happening, when they lowered the FPS, they did it on a game day by giving it an air leak, by putting a tiny hole in the nozzle. I have a feeling this may have become blocked with crap from the gearbox over time. Gonna take it apart and see if I can clean it out...

  6. Liam Porter

    So, fiddling with my L96... PDI hop chamber with R-Hop, or regular hop chamber, with Top Dead Centre mod, or regular chamber with R-Hop and Top Dead Centre mod?

    Look at car rental once, now every advert on every website is for car rental...

      If it's AdChoice, you can mute the Advert by clicking the "X" in the top right hand corner. It uses your cookies to target you with specific advertising.

      Or just use adblock :D

  8. Liam Porter

    Ehh, seems the M14 I want in the colour I want has now been removed from WGC and Red Wolf. Looks like I'll be getting a different version and then buying separate parts for it to make it the same...

  9. Liam Porter

    Well that's brilliant. £50 for new car windscreen, then £300 for its MOT, and then £220 tax in August. Looks like I'm not going to be getting a new gun any time soon...

      what's the car? my truck is £215 tax, and that's capped due to it being a LGV? has something gone wrong with it's catalytic converter.

    2. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      2005 Mondeo LX 1.8, it's £220 for the year or £121 for 6 months.

    Being killed by hayfever, because apparently seeing and breathing are two things I'm not allowed to do. Anyone recommend any good tablets, all the ones I've tried before have been awful.

    1. TacMaster

      Same problem here dude, the Sainsbury's ones are just terrible. Tried some last year which were quite good but I can't remember the name -_-

      Go to the doctors, I did & i now get ones from the chemist that are 10x the strength of the ones you can buy in shops, they work a treat :D

  12. Liam Porter

    Got a little tip, when confronted with friendly players asking what colour team you're on from 2m away, don't forget your team colour and tell them red, when you're on blue.

      I ended up getting shot in the face by my team mate, even though he recognised me by my voice and knew I was his team and had made a mistake.

      If in doubt, shoot first, ask questions later. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.

      I once had a chat with a dude at a night game because I walked square into the enemy base with so much ease that I couldn't believe everyone around me was an enemy.

       

      I shot one of the objective targets pretending I was testing my gun, melee killed the guy I'd been chatting with as soon as I made him give away which team he was on, then fucked off, proto xD

  13. Liam Porter

    The day before going urban, my L96 starts shooting really nicely, and my M16 starts playing up really badly. May have to use the pistol all day tomorrow...

  14. Liam Porter

    As usual, doing last minute work on my L96 before tomorrow's skirmish. The air seal difference between the ASPUK and PDI hop units makes an 80 FPS difference apparently...

  15. Liam Porter

    Kinda getting the idea that snipers are not worth the time, effort and money you put into them.

    1. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      Likewise.

      At the moment, I actually want to melt it down into a ball of metal and plastic, and then throw that at someone annoying.

      I'm actually considering selling it, along with all the spare parts. Got nearly 2 complete rifles, plus a spare set of internals in total.

      What's wrong with it Liam?

  16. Liam Porter

    Spent all day trying to fix this horrible scraping in my L96. In the process, I noticed the state of the hop rubber. Fitted a new one, put tape all over the place, put the gun back together. Scraping is now gone. Test fired it - new hop rubber is too hard, doesn't actually let BBs past it. *sigh*

      It's the most hassle ever. That said, it's been good fun and I've solved the hop up problem, scraping problem and a couple of others too. Haven't had chance to test it yet, but am updating my review thread soon.

      Given the opportunity, I would definitely go back and do that. Arden recently bought one from them and has had no problems with it at all, and it shoots pretty well, think it still has the stock barrel in it.

      If they have an upgraded VSR for sale, I'm...

    3. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      ...going to be so tempted to buy it.

      Why does this thing not tell me if I go over the character limit in comments!?

    4. Airsoft-Ed

      Airsoft-Ed

      Annoying isn't it? Lol

  17. Liam Porter

    Kinda wanting a VSR, or a sniper that's somewhat lighter than my L96...

      I've got the Warrior L96. Out of the box? Not very good really. Fully upgraded? Really good. On the heavy side though, arms ache after a day running around with it. Build quality of it isn't great either, the bipod lug on the front snapped off after a day of using a Harris style bipod.

    3. Finius

      Finius

      Those things TM compatible? Planning to get rid of my SVD for an L96 or VSR asap...

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Nah, they're a clone of the Maruzen Type-96, a lot of available upgrade parts.

    Anyone notice anything odd/different about this? http://i.imgur.com/PDum4ar.jpg

      Your m16 has multiplied?

    3. Finius

      Finius

      You haven't got any Russian goodness in there for a start...

    4. Liam Porter

      Liam Porter

      Nope, M16s are as they were when new, apart from the rails added to the G&P one.

      The pistol holster on the sniper stock is what is different, an idea someone gave me. Tried it out today, worked pretty well :P.

      Ed, the L96 and 1 M16 is mine, the other M16 is my mate's. Completed the L96 look quite a while ago.

      Finius, I will probably never get a Russian weapon....

  19. Liam Porter

    Somewhat confused.. I've noticed Marksman has changed his display name to M_P. How? And can I change mine?

    1. M_P
