what gun? what battery? what charger? btw at 11.1V it is not fully charged, it should be closer to 12.6V when full

@Leo Greer 1 FPS variance is really impressive, very curious does it change at all based on your environment e.g. workshop vs the site? And weather and so on?

Wh is just the total energy capacity, literally, mAh x Voltage = Wh Let's say there are two batteries, one is 7.4 V and one is 11.1 V, both are 1300 mAh, the 11.1 V one will have more total energy in Wh than the 7.4 V

Actually, why not invite him in here for a chat

(most already pointed out above) "Reasonable adjustments" is a legal duty, so the site will pretty much have to do it, even tho understandably it may be a hassle. Printing out safety briefing is very easily done and not at all unreasonable. Make it known to the other players so they can understand the situation and adjust their expectations with hit calling. Marshals can keep an eye out in-game and pay a bit more attention and watch out for hit calling / issues with other players, again not difficult to do and something they should already be doing anyway. On the deaf person side, wear non-padded clothing for hit detection, so preferably a minimal loadout like a belt rig perhaps. Put up his arm for hit calling, not necessary through shouting "hit". Same for his targets, just watch for hands raising. A shadow is a good idea, just so he can receive grenades and announcements and so on, and have a "translator" just in case. I think there are probably situations where playing as a duo is actually an advantage. His biggest enemy may actually be a fogging eye pro. May be a chance for him to fully embrace the speedsoft look and get a dye mask (which I heard is good with fogging).

The stock one seems to be a 11.5" barrel while the new one might be a 14.5"

Nuprol "High Torque" Motor is definitely not high torque, it says it can only handle m110 which is something a low torque motor does. For the same money I'd get a Chihai 22 or 28 TPA motor from aliexpress. I would say no need to replace inner barrel, outer barrel, and hop chamber, because there is not much improvement you will get (these parts either work, or don't, there is little to gain), but will most likely get compatibility issues. A 13:1 gear should be drop in and play, you don't need to remove any teeth (aka short stroking). Personally I would prefer Perun hybrid with the Perun clicker (great fun) than a hair trigger with Aster. But this is personal opinion.

just noticed the abbreviation is a little unfortunate i'd say

Can it slide freely with just the piston in the gearbox and when you shake it? I suspect the piston side rails are too wide (horizontally or vertically) for the gearbox so it is catching Solution is sand down either the piston or the gearbox so when you shake it, it rattles freely

Re walking nonchalantly, I would say depends on how nonchalantly you are walking you are effectively "pretending to be not in-game" therefore cheating. That is similar to sparring in any sort of fights, you drop your stance, make your mate think you are not playing, and then making a cheap shot, surely this "false signalling" is a form of cheating. Marshal discretion should apply here, if you see a wandering seemingly dead guy walking towards the wrong spawn, you might want to at least turn him around? Re @Tommikka ok I guess if it is part of the "map" so it is effectively environmental damage it would be fair I suppose. Also poor lad falling into the water, there are rat's trap with the same design designed for killing rats, surely it doesn't add anything to the tactical gameplay more than a level and normal bridge, and surely it should have been removed during risk assessment? Re Taylor Swift lol, you know when prototype cars goes to road testing and they have these blank and white camo patterns to hide their shape... this is it, this is what we need! Re AI I fear it is only a matter of time we have effective airsoft bots, I mean they are developing exponentially fast, I suspect we are less than a decade away from effective biped robots in military with an AI comparable to Forrest Gump, and then civilian markets less than a decade from that

@Tommikka While it is interesting technology, I think there might be a certain upper limit in terms of technology in airsoft, when you start having turrets and robots and AI and what not, the game starts to leave the premise of small arms warfare, does your turret have a torso sized target for shooting at, and can it call hits and walk itself back to respawn? And if it is just a matter of who has the most number of advanced AI / robots to spawn onto the field, is it still airsoft, or is it just Command and Conquer simulator? Where would be the line? That is not to say automated turrets or drones or AI etc cannot be airsoft, but I think there should be some sort of rule or principles for the airsoft arms race, and I think the principle of risk vs reward and gameplay fairness should apply, because surely you cannot pay-to-swarm the field with automated suicide flying pistol turrets, if that is what it comes down to, unless both teams are exclusively using the same stuff (meanwhile the rentals with their JGs in hand are confused they'd gone to a wrong game under the buzzing airspace) -- And accordingly, is there a dazzle camo pattern for human clothing and for human opponents?

don't think there is/was human sized dazzle camouflage, would look sick tho

it's actually not too far from an actual pill box, if you remove the upper floor so you can stand up inside, put down a chair or two, it will be a chill spot

It boils down to fairness and gameplay balance, which should be a balance of risk vs reward. Otherwise it becomes similar to blind firing: shooting without presenting yourself = risk free shooting = cheating. And for a game that is played by untrained and unskilled civilians, the ghillie suit is in effect too OP because often it functions principally as an invisibility suit and gives too much advantage (aka pay-to-win). If one day the invisibility suit is invented, it will become the new meta because it removes all risks of being seen and/or shot at, therefore is not balanced and probably not very fun, and not good for the sport either. That is not to say stealthcraft and clothing innovations should be removed, because it is of course very essential to the hobby, but for gameplay reasons it should be nerfed. Because this is not a war, this is a game, where balance matters. I would suggest there should be a minimum visibility requirement, for A. capping the risk reduction achieved by clothing and B. team identification, similar to how EN ISO 20471 defines hi-vis clothing in amount of m2 of certain materials to be visible. The exact amount of m2 of team colour / which colours / placement is up to debate. The usual armbands (or tapes) over the invisibility suit is a practical solution. But I would argue this rule could be expanded to both the shoulders and forearms/wrists should be taped. Because that is what is being brought forward when you present your weapon. I would even go on to argue, as you present your weapon, you should also present a visible m2 equivalent to the C zones of a IPSC / USPSA target, so that your risk and reward is balanced against your opponent's, should you choose to engage. The C zone of the USPSA target is about 0.15 m2 which is roughly equivalent to the requirements for reflective tape on a class 2 hi-vis vest, which I think if distributed across your arms and shoulders and head areas i.e. "the shooting stance silhouette" (because as you present your weapon your torso will be mostly shadowed by your RIF or carriers and so on) this should become a reasonable risk profile even for the best of ghillies. And this will future proof the sport for the invention of invisibility clothing, and will be a first step towards evolving into a spectator sport for Olympics.

Core is plastic receiver Edge is steel receiver

The line is drawn at the site's duty to make "reasonable adjustments" under Equality Act. To sue for discrimination the claimant will have to convince the court that there was a >51% probability that "failure of reasonable adjustment" had occurred, but because you cannot reasonably adjust the site rules to allow any aggressive behaviour to happen and compromise safety of others, it is pretty much impossible that such a claim would succeed. It is not discrimination to not adjust the site rules for a disabled person if they are being a safety risk to themselves or others as it is going to "fundamentally alter the nature of the service".

stuck how? can you post a picture

dull rust orange?

You actually don't need short stroking, the "over travel" actually increases your FPS because it accelerates the piston before it goes into the compression zone as opposed to accelerates from within the compression zone, so the overall compression happens faster i.e. there is actually gain in air pressure from the "pre-travel" Also try putting on the tappet delayer chip on the sector gear to see if it improves feeding, if there is any feeding issues

Your entire outer barrel is dipping down because the barrel nut is probably not solid enough, try this to align the whole assembly so your hop unit is coaxial to the nozzle so it chooches properly But the real culprit is your new hob rubber

Supposedly that is what the public liability cover is for Zurich has a nice PDF explaining each type of cover (see Part F – Public liability on page 55) And reading more about it, it should only cover an employee/volunteer working for Just-Cos while under direct control or supervision, so I don't know how this works with a cosplayer club Although if someone's tail injured someone at the convention, it could be the convention/event organiser's responsibility (supposedly they are keeping the cosplayers in check with rules and protocols and so on) so it would be the convention's insurance to pay out, rather than Just-Cos, because they are not the organiser

what motor?

Buying and selling under 18 = illegal Owning and playing under 18 = legal Gifting or being gifted under 18 = legal So the solution is ask your dad to buy it, then gift it to you, as a gift, buy he will only be able to buy an IF (two-tone) without a UKARA so that is what you can get for now When you are 18 and get your own UKARA you can buy anything you want

That's the thing, I'm not sure those are "qualifiers", but again, without the full documents nobody can say for sure (could be just some cost calculation document) -- https://www.zurich.co.uk/charity-insurance/public-liability Not sure why they say it's an extra bit, because the events don't even add up to 12 -- For the purpose of VCRA, cosplay is surely not "historical re-enactment" (see VCRA 2006 definition) because it is not historical, so the only route of defence for cosplay is via "acting out of military or law enforcement scenarios for the purposes of recreation" i.e. a "permitted activity" under the RIF Regulations 2007. Which triggers the requirement for public liability insurance, which is covered here. -- I don't think they are necessarily bullshitting, I can understand what they say and I think it is possible they have all these covers and limitations sorted, but again, without the full package of documents, nobody can say for sure. If they could stop cosplaying batman being all stealthy and secretive and just upload the whole package of documents they wouldn't have caused such levels of suspicion.
