Pseudotectonic

Do you mean the rate of fire slows down after 7 rounds in automatic? Or do you mean the BBs are flying out with less velocity after 7 rounds? If it is the rate of fire, maybe the battery is bad, or the motor is bad, or your gearbox is badly shimmed, or the spring is too strong, so the amp draw is too high, and the battery cannot sustain the current, so the voltage drops as a result after 7 rounds. Or it may be the mosfet doing some sort of thermal management. If it is less joules, then it is probably something in the gearbox or barrel and not the battery.

It has got the best price tag for the luxury and prestige it offers, it's a status symbol. Like Gucci. You are buying for the exclusive experience to turn heads on the battlefield.

It depends

Re OP He is negative but at least he is honest about it and I find that rather entertaining. Although too much of a Warhead onlyist IMO.

IANAL but the spirit of the Highways Act is to physically protect highways and highway users. And this includes any kind of distraction within 50 ft. Someone seen (or, in case of real firearms, heard) plinking could cause a distraction, regardless of distance, but only within 50 ft you can be nicked for the Highways Act. The solution, solely for the purpose of the Highways Act, if you have to plink within the 50 ft, is not to be seen (or heard) as to not cause any potential distraction to a driver. If it is "completely out of sight" like you say then it should be fine.

16 TPA is not really high torque, for similar amount of money you can get a 28 TPA motor from aliexpress for about £32 shipped. There is also a 32 TPA £55 shipped. These will give you good efficiency and trigger response but low ROF. The 16 TPA will probably give you meh results. In my opinion brushless is actually a good upgrade for stock because it is relatively foolproof. It will not have cause torque/heat/amp issues, and no sparking issues so you can skip the mosfet. You don't need to worry about balancing torque and RPM like brushed motors so there is little possibility of mistake. The only downside is it may be too fast and gets you into PME territory (which is unlikely with stock gears). And may have compatibility issues with some mosfet/ETU (can't use active breaking etc) so that is a whole new area of problems. But for stock it is a rather good upgrade. Will probably feel a bit like switching from HDD to SSD and you won't have any money left for other upgrades, but you probably won't need them by now ?

35k might actually be too high speed if you want to keep RPS lowish for ammo/battery conservation or realistic ROF reasons. Any speed Warhead will have the torque (therefore trigger response) and efficiency (less heat). So all things being equal, you actually just want to pick the Warhead speed based on the RPS you are trying to achieve. It also depends on which battery you are using. I guess you can use this video as reference: From the video the 35k Warhead doesn't seem to increase ROF as much as it suggests from 27k at 11.1v so you might want to pick the 27k for better efficiency if you are using 11.1v.

Is that wire going to the left somehow pushing up the feeding part so it is rubbing against the nozzle? Because there are some marks on the wire too not sure if it's from magazine inserts.

That is clever, very clear too so no more guessing, and I agree it looks like it is just on the edge of PME!

Inside the assembled gearbox? How do you do that?

Wouldn't chamfering the mag itself achieve the same effect / help even more? With countersink bits £5 like these

(Sorry about steering off-topic into airsoft site design in general) The 2021 International Building Code (which is used in America and some other countries) have had updated to include "Puzzle rooms (escape rooms) are now defined and regulated as special amusement areas, requiring compliance with Section 411 and special means of egress requirements". (Which includes indoor airsoft sites) This would affect affect (new) indoor airsoft sites (outside UK) because it deals with fire escape routes markings and distances and so on (so cannot be an absolute maze or you have to be clever about it) and sprinklers are mandatory in indoor sites bigger than 1000 square feet, and voice alarm PA systems, and fire rated interior finishes, etc. Which I imagine would make it a little more expensive to start an indoor CQB site and you have to be more thoughtful about it, and in terms of gameplay it may have some implications on the complexity of layout you can design because now it should be simple and obvious enough to escape from in any emergency. Unless you come up with some clever contraptions to collapse certain areas to show an escape routes from the game area or something. So while our castle and church in Glasgow is in sort of a grey area (they are "buildings" but not really), I would assume building regs do still apply (as they needed planning application) and this aspect was probably covered by the builder/contractor themselves who are self-certified on the Competent Person Scheme. And by the looks of it it seems to be built at least semi-professionally judging by craftsmanship etc. So at the end of day I suppose as long as they are structurally ok, and safe in a fire (easy to escape / extinguishers etc) and safe to use (slip resistant chicken wires is questionable even though it is used elsewhere) etc it should be covered in terms of liability. They also can say the structures are only entered when there is real time monitoring by marshals standing at an observable distance so that by itself is a big plus. I suppose you guys need to sign a waiver to play as well? And I just thought of there are people airsofting in abandoned buildings that are clearly dangerous, so this Glasgow site is far from being dangerous all things considered. And arguably the uneven terrain surrounding the structures is more dangerous than the structures themselves.

Yes but they didn't build those trees!

Ok sounds like they have managed out the risks. Don't get me wrong I really do admire the structures. And it all looks very well designed and well built, just very curious if this sort of structure needs to meet certain standards on paper e.g. building regs. Is it because they are not technically buildings? Or are they classed as something like "playground equipment" (do they meet BS EN 1176)? Surely they needed planning application for it (found it). I envy you guys, the site looks amazing.

I think it is due to the American constitution literally have gun rights baked in (2A), so it is not just a big part of their culture, it is part of their primary definition as a people, which is supposedly a body of freedom loving warriors who defy oppression or whatever. Which I can see why Americans are proud of it and practice it religiously. But most other countries have guns banned. Including the UK. So we don't have a similar warrior or militant mindset or culture. We have a richer history and civilisation to draw our cultural prides and identities from. This is not meant to be a jab towards Americans, simply to say we are very different cultures built on different foundations despite sharing the same language. In the UK, guns is a very taboo subject/object. We mostly associate it with high criminality rather than any sort of pride.

332 FPS of a 0.25 BB is 1.28 joules, or same energy as a 371 FPS .2 BB. To get to 310 FPS (1.12 joules) you need to decrease 12.5% of power. Assuming your sector gear has 14 teeth, 2 teeth out of 14 is ~14.3%. 1 tooth is ~7.1%. So I would say 2 teeth is probably better than 1 because you get extra headroom for PME. And better trigger response. Not sure if your hop makes a huge difference so maybe try to gradually apply hop and chrono it to see if it drops quick or slow?

I am very impressed with the structures (from the videos and photos). Looks incredibly fun. Although there is a nagging voice in my head whispering about flammable timber planks and li-po fires and people running on flimsy structures and things of that nature. Very curious who designed/built them.

Ok I just checked the actual Ofcom wording and you may be right. (On the license it says "the Licensee and any person authorised to act on the Licensee’s behalf is hereby authorised to send and receive...") Although I would argue if you are the licensee you should also technically own the entire fleet of radios that you authorise other people to use. Although in reality I don't imagine it is at all policed/enforced unless someone is seriously messing about using your license prompting some sort of action by Ofcom. At which point you the licensee will also be responsible (if you are ratted out). For frequencies, you can use any of the frequencies listed on your license. Among the ones you listed the UHF frequencies (4xx Mhz) will be most practical because the same antenna will work for PMR446 so your baofengs can be set up to access both sets of frequencies. So you can play with walk-ins if they can't or don't want to reprogram.

My opinion about the design of the patch: it is not cool looking enough for something that have to be explained what it means to someone who doesn't know a fuk. If there is an URL at least it would be self-explanatory and not so head scratch inducing.

I guess most if not all of the radio users in airsoft will be on PMR446. Which is the license free walkie-talkie 16 channels. If you are running the £75 business radio license, you will be on totally different channels from the PMR446 and any person will also have to shell out the £75 and have their radio also programmed to tune into your particular channel. Which seems totally unnecessary unless you really really want to stop most people from listening in.

But for real how is the tape/armband supposed to go on something like a poncho? There is no arm to wrap around. A horizontal strip near the shoulder?

G36C mid-cap mags which ones are good?

Hi Gamble, please get a good clip-on microphone or something because the talking part is too low volume plus there is too much echo/reverb in your talking so I cannot hear it very well with my laptop speakers, and I don't have this issue with other Youtubers, so I am sure it is your audio and also your room is rather echoey. Content wise it seems fun to watch, but the audio quality is preventing me from enjoying them. The action parts are ok, just the room talking parts I really can't hear you.

FPS same in semi and full auto?

Thanks everyone, think I will rent my three games rather than getting a two-tone. Will pop down to Chislehurst one of these weekends and see how the day goes. ?
