  1. Noticed the other day these digital target screens from Evike has a protective layer that absorbs the BB very well and dropping it down without much ricochet at all which seems ideal for a target https://youtu.be/rokdTjypBg4?feature=shared&t=95 I suspect these are like 3mm thick clear PVC sheets and when held at the edge allowing it to flex it has very good "impedance matching" for airsoft BBs for lack of a better word
  2. wash them with a colander under running water and some soap, otherwise you won't get rid of the dust enough
  3. The shorter barrel might have something to do with it
  4. What gun? You mean you chrono'd 280 before, sat 3 days precocked, and now chronos 250? And the battery shouldn't run out so fast, either it is bad or the motor is too low torque, but since it is stock with a weak spring it shouldn't, so it could be the shimming, or the grease
  5. BACS doesn't work on weekends and can take up to 3 days
  6. Well, it does say it is 7 inch or whatever length you choose. The reviews seem to suggest they are legit. I myself am very tempted...
  7. If blanks are allowed it should be very heavily managed to be safe, and rules should be very clear about taking hits and so on. Milsim West allows blanks (with heavy checking and there is designated blanks marshal), but it has a 20 foot dome shaped no-engagement-distance (from the muzzle), and hit taking is totally optional. I think my point is, people should be able to know beforehand blanks are involved in a game and how it is managed so they can decide whether to take part, rather than trying to find out the rules mid game. If the rules are unclear or non-existent or unenforced, this is totally a field management issue. If the field has management issues I think totally up to customers to point it out and openly talk about it. If every field has management issues, perhaps we need to talk about it even more.
  8. Correct me if wrong, but I think blank-firing imitation firearms (meeting the specifications in the regulations) are not firearms, and are subject to VCRA the same way as airsoft RIFs and IFs, the same set of defence apply, including UKARA.
  9. I subscribe to the school of thought of wider barrel has a better buffer zone for "more dampening of oscillations", and in the real life environment because of dust or other minute imperfections of the BB or vibrations or other factors I think the wider bore is more capable of better consistency, because the same speck of dust might have affected the tight bore more than a wider bore. And I think the inside surface finish (factory finish vs mirror polished) is probably going to have a bigger impact on the aerodynamics (thus consistency/accuracy) than say the nominal diameter.
  10. If you have the space, you can make it angled so it sort of works like a real steel bullet trap Some pictures here, they are quite self explanatory: https://vanandelarenagrandrapidsmi.blogspot.com/2022/07/homemade-bullet-trap-design.html
  11. Dry fire upside down and without mags, can you see the nozzle moving normally? And what mags are you using?
  12. In terms of how much customisation one can do in actual military, I guess it really depends on the unit, but I also think changing the rail would be closer to the rare end of the spectrum. It may be possible somewhere, but not very probable. If there is no evidence, then probably not. You can theorise whether the non-standard rail can be "clone correct", but unless your everything else is also clone correct I wouldn't be bothered too much. It also depends on your definition of "realism", I would say since the parts exist for real steel, I would say it is as real as any because it is entirely possible it is used somewhere. But if you are going for "clone correctness" then maybe you want to find a source to clone it from, or use more standard parts. I would say 14.5 in CQB is doable, but obviously not as easy as shorter ones.
  13. That is just measuring the zero load amp draw which doesn't really say anything, there is another guy measuring the amps in actual use and shows that the T238 actually has about same or even higher draw than the Warheads (depending on model), so there is really no efficiency advantage here whatsoever. And the sound is really subjective, to me it sounds like the T238 has more mechanical resistance and a rougher waveform than the Warhead, so to me the Warhead sounds better and quieter and feels like the better built of the two.
  14. for 10 quid more definitely get the Warhead although you will need more short stroke because the 35k will be too fast (the 27k is more in line with your setup)
  15. May be able to get away with Rit Dye Someone dyed their polymer magazine pink It might not be as bright pink as the TM, but might get it close enough for your own satisfaction
  16. Like is it generally frowned upon if you get too close to enemy spawn because it is spawn camping? Should you call hits if your own team shot you? Does ricochet count as hits? How do you execute a knife kill, and does it only count if the enemy hasn't noticed you and if you do it , or can you engage a enemy around a corner and try to land a stab as they try to shoot you or is this not allowed?
  17. I think maple leaf macron will be enough for both, because they are not super heavy BBs
  18. wdym? is it hopping left right and centre?
