  1. I have made a couple of really good purchases through AirsoftHub; however, on both occasions, I dealt with the seller face to face.
  2. I ran one of these for a while several years ago; I found that it got in the way.
  3. I bought this barely used Well Pro WE06 PPK-20 and five mags for a very decent price. All I have done so far is change the very basic mosfet for an AB++, fit a Macaron and omega nub, and fit an SHS high torque motor. It is very snappy and runs nicely on 11.1v.
  4. Well, that will only have taken seven years! Perhaps after that has been done, they could sort out the PP19 100 round midcaps so that they feed properly; they have been a known issue for much longer.
  5. If the site had identified a risk of people attempting to cheat the chrono and someone had managed to do so, the site would very possibly be found to be at fault as their measures to prevent it happening were inadequate. Anyway, I am out of this discussion; it is like trying to have a rational conversation with a flat earther.
  6. Which is exactly the same situation as at the vast majority of other sites. Intentional cheats will lie about BB weights, use different BBs to chrono and dial up the hop.
  7. 20.7mm is a long AK nozzle, which matches the tappet plate.
  8. Is it better though if people are still getting caught in the morning? It clearly isn’t doing what it is supposed to. There are chronos at AP and people use them. I have known people to do so and then put a gun back in the bag because it is hot; my mate Tom did so recently. It is about the culture and ethos of the site; wankers don’t seem to last long there.
  9. Fixed that for you. You don’t know about the ones who are not caught. You may not have realised it, but that post was an admission that what you regard as “better chrono practices” are not as effective as you seem to think.
  10. That “rock ape” is possibly having to chrono 100+ players, many of whom have more than one gun to chrono. Having done that job at two different sites, you have to take some of what you are told on trust and assume that players have not dialed the hop up as far as it will go, which does leave the process open to abuse. However, the key point is that the vast majority of sites only look at the velocity limit for the declared weight. Random in game sampling including weighing of BBs is possibly the best approach and certainly provides a deterrent, especially when the penalty is to be sent home. One of the things that I really like about AP is that they stick to what they say in the briefing. Unlike so many sites, they do not hesitate to send people home if they ignore warnings about hit taking, MED abuse and other poor behaviour.
  11. Err, no. If someone's gun chronos at 310fps and they state that they have 0.25s in their mag, but are actually running 0.30s, it is very likely that they are going to get away with it at most sites, because very few sites check the power in addition to the velocity. I use that example because I saw someone do it at a site; I ratted him out.
  12. Which isn't really that different from the situation at the vast majority of sites. "What weight are you using?" "25s." "Yeah, you're fine." A) Player returns to his table and his bottle of 0.30g BBs. or B) When going out for the first game, Player resets his hop to where it should be. You don't like the way AP do it, that is fine. In all the times I have been there, I have never heard of anyone complaining about a potentially hot gun.
