  1. Can you post the form, or what exactly have you been asked?
  2. Fire upside down and without mags, just drop a BB into the feeding hole, does it fire normally?
  3. does the nozzle actually fit the hop unit?
  4. But slower FPS equal shorter range, if FPS doesn't affect range then pistols would be shooting the same as a sniper
  5. Say you have a gun, with a 400mm barrel, and you chop it into a 200mm barrel or 100mm barrel or 30mm or 10mm barrel, you will see an FPS drop (probably not linearly), therefore you will have a little less range from that lower FPS, until eventually you reach 0.1mm barrel where the BB would have lost so much FPS it will have little speed and just drop to the floor in front of you within a few meters and it will have lost so much accuracy it will be dropping left and right in front of you in a rather large spread pattern
  6. But surely joule creep also happens with AEG?
  7. A longer barrel will shoot more fps than a short barrel with everything else the same because the BB has more runway to accelerate Heavier BB requires less runway to fully accelerate hence there is this thing called joule creep where it shoots more joules when switching to a heavier BB
  8. 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
  9. wash them with a colander under running water and some soap, otherwise you won't get rid of the dust enough
  10. The shorter barrel might have something to do with it
  11. 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
  12. BACS doesn't work on weekends and can take up to 3 days
  13. 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...
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. Dry fire upside down and without mags, can you see the nozzle moving normally? And what mags are you using?
