The issue with TM is that they are designed for a specific market. Majority of that market is in Japan where joule limits are quite a bit lower. At that limit they are likely to last but once people start demanding more out of them that's where they start to struggle...

It's a shame that there is no real benefit to using a LMG over a AR with a drum mag. I wonder what sites could do to try and encourage them.

Anecdotally, the brick-style gearbox used by most proper LMGs is more robust to long bursts of automatic fire than a V2. The thing is a pretty solid lump. Using an LMG like an LMG- for suppression- I can trivially go through 5000 bbs in a day. Would a V2 have a problem with that?
That said, I can attest that LMGs are the kit-cars of airsoft guns- you spend more time tinkering with them than driving them. And yes, I spent a lot getting mine to a usable state, including a new box mag. It's a labour of love...
Having a big mag is only half the picture, you have to be out to play a suppressive role to make use of it. I have a hunch that being less mobile might help you stay in that playstyle by reducing the temptation to rush in with the rest of the team. I was supressing a base that was being attacked by our team the other day, and supressing fire was really helping keep the defenders down and our team advancing. When most of our team had reached the base and were moving to CQB to clear it I judged victory and made the poor decision to move up. It wasn't more than a few minutes before the defenders were back firing from the points I'd been suppressing and we were all our way back to respawn.
The site I play at most often only has one distinction for LMGs rules wise, which is permitting longer bursts not fired at specific targets. I usually feather the trigger anyway, so this doesn't do much for me.
Another site sometimes has LMGs-only full auto rule for some games that have a mix of close and open spaces, with the caveat that LMG users can't enter the close spaces. The LMG shines here, and it's a lot of fun, but it can lead to confusion/rage (No Full Auto!).

DE UTR-45 power problem after jam

@pyromancer6 regarding the hop unit and maple leaf. Barrels have a tiny amount of deviation in dimensions around the window. Some barrels go into the hop unit a tiny bit further than others, not much at all but means that the bottom lip of the maple leaf bucking goes too far into the unit meaning it blocks the feeding tube of the hop unit. To test this assemble the barrel, unit and the bucking as you would and flip it over so the tube which makes contact with your magazine is pointing up. Drop a bb down it and see if it goes all the way into the unit. If it does then it's all good however if it gets stuck halfway use something to test the resistance to push the bb into the unit completely. If you feel any resistance at all you will need to shave the bottom lip of the bucking a tiny bit just to give more space for it to drop.

Looking for some handguards that would fit a E&L AK74m. Open to different styles and looks. Let me know what you have got and how much you are looking for it. Thank youNO VALUE SPECIFIED

Just take it nice and slow. Will be the opposite side to the patch. Keep testing it by putting it back in the hop unit and dropping a bb down the feeding tube. As soon as it passes with no resistance you are good.

@Pollynator_bravo2 - The maple leafs are too long for the DE hop unit. You can probably shave the bottom lip a little bit though which should resolve it.

The ghillie discussion
-
Think I made a topic on this a while ago. I still strongly believe that ghillies should be bolt action only. This would naturally limit the amount that are present in a game. I think the problem is that if a large percentage of players are wearing them it makes the games very slow and makes the games less exciting for everyone as it means more people are moving slower.

I don't see there being any real negative to having this. It protects staff and the players. So if a site feels like it's useful then so be it. I can see it being more useful for sites which cater for larger number of players for things such as recognition and for when things escalate on those larger sites where the next Marshall might be a 5 minute walk away. In my own experience players do seem to be getting more frustrated if not aggressive in the last few years. Especially after covid. Having more protection is never a bad thing.

To be honest with the rain fall we have had airsoft won't be back to normal till late spring at the earliest. The ground conditions at so many sites is just so boggy and out right dangerous. I always choose to take a bit of time off when it's like this because firstly it's my weekend and I can't be bothered with all the mess. Secondly it makes gameplay too slow for me unless you have a death wish and lastly I don't want to break anything (me or my gear) -
