It has to be hardwired, but that is quite easy as you do not need to open a V3 gearbox to do so. However, it seems that you are going to open the gearbox anyway. It would run faster on 13:1, giving you a higher rate of fire and a marginal improvement in trigger response. However, if using it on an 11.1v with 13:1 gears, you might be heading for premature engagement (PME), where the piston cannot go forward fast enough and is engaged by the sector gear as it is moving forward. That gets messy.

I don’t see ads on here when using the iPad, but I do when using the phone.

More powerful than an air rifle? It has a quick change spring. Admittedly, you have to do a fair bit of dismantling to get to it.

They are becoming rather annoying. I would be interested to know the cost of running the site; if the other options were to keep the adverts or lose the site, I would be willing to contribute to the running costs.

Indeed! This one was just the other side of the Rother.

I can give you its approximate location; it isn’t too far from you.

That is odd! I am getting saucy pictures of middle aged sheep.

And/or the cylinder head O ring(s) and the seal of the nozzle to the air tube.

You need to get it up to about 280-290 fps (300 is hot!), which is a considerable increase and, if the current spring is an M100, is going to need at least an M110 spring. However, assuming that the barrel and cylinder are properly matched, you may well have a poor air seal, which you would be well advised to sort out. Give the inner barrel a good clean with isopropyl alcohol as well. You don’t need to upgrade the mosfet just because you install a stronger spring.

There are so many variables that it is almost impossible to say. What spring is currently fitted?

Ah, the old M202; the rockets had a nasty habit of self-igniting when being loaded.

Welcome aboard! What site(s) do you play at?

That rather depends on whether or not it is your kink.

I third it; the Merf is awful.

ASG XP18 Commander. It is great out of the box and can be upgraded to be even greater.

Congratulations on getting back out!

Today was an invitation only day at Airsoft Plantation, which was planned to run alongside a private event which was also running on the site. The lad travelled down on Saturday, so we were a mini-team again. Unfortunately, a number of players cancelled due to the intense heat, so a smaller than expected group of players were present, which made for a different and interesting day. We started off with a simple game in the village; the attackers, with infinite regens on their starting point at the far end of the village, had to get a player onto the upper floor of the Cock Inn. The defenders had two lives, one in the village and one in and around the structures on the high street. I started off on our right, trying to prevent attackers pushing down that side. The MPiKM scored many hits before a sneaky enemy potted me and I fell back to my second position, from where I continued to contribute to our defence until an enemy player managed to achieve the objective. When the game was turned around, the lad and I, accompanied by our friend Tom, pushed through the brush on our right, slowly progressing against well positioned and determined defenders. The highlight came towards the end, when the lad ran forward, crawled under one of the Land Rovers, and then stormed the Cock Inn; excellent play! After a hydration break, we went out to the woods to play three "rescue the hostage" games. The site owner was being held hostage in the kill house by two thirds of the players, who had one life in the woods and one around or inside the kill house. Starting at the wobbly bridge, the remaining players, with infinite buddy regens, had to rescue him. In the first iteration, our group of four players were in the defending group. The lad and I took up positions covering the left and were soon engaged with some of the enemy, delaying their advance and forcing them to change direction. However, I was eventually hit and fell back towards the kill house, where I was hit again in a confusing exchange of BBs with a group of our own players who had assumed that we were attackers. The game was repeated twice so that everyone had a turn at attacking; our attack was not exactly great and we failed to rescue the hostage. In the final iteration, the lad and I took up positions in the boundary ditch, planning to ambush any rescuers who came by; none did and, just as we decided to change position, the game ended. After lunch, we moved to the mortar pits; the attackers had to get a sticker on each of the vehicles in that area except the bus, while we had to stop them. The lad took up position on the top deck of the bus, calling out enemy movements and potting many of them with his Val. This was a wild and challenging game, with small groups of players sneaking or charging around, engaging and then changing position. When the game ended, the attackers had managed to sticker 10 vehicles. When the game was turned around, we moved out of the hill fort, which was the starting point. At this point, our team leader commented that "They don't seem to have moved up to the front"; he was then promptly shot by an enemy player who had done precisely that! As before, it was a confusing and challenging game, with players popping up all over the place. At the end, we had stickered eight vehicles. The site owner commented on the quality of the lad's play and his tactics; clearly, taxpayers' money has been well spend on training him. For the last game, the private hire group, who had not been involved in our earlier games, were invited to take apart in a game of Ambush with us as the ambushers. As usual, this involved the potential ambushees walking along the high street, while we grinned at them from the buildings. They could not shoot until we opened fire; once we had done so, they could move off the road and try to flank us. Their aim was to get one player into the hut at the far end. We were heavily outnumbered. As usual, once the shooting started, this descended into mayhem as we were gradually overwhelmed. I was eventually hit by a sneaky player just as one of their players made it into the target hut. Despite the low numbers and the heat, it was a good day, played in a good spirit. The hostage game was probably the weakest of the day as it was rather channeled, but it was still fun and the other games were excellent. The private hire group seemed to really enjoy the final game although they were quite surprised by how much better our guns were than the rental ones; I suspect that a fair few of them will be back. A few were asking about how to get a UKARA registration. Weapons used: Me: CYMA MPiKM Double Bell MPiKMS-72 ASG XP18 Commander CO2 The lad: Cyma AK74M LCT AS Val ASG XP18 Commander CO2

The Perun AB++ or something similar is probably the closest to that as it sits outside the gearbox, but you do have to open the gearbox to do some rewiring unless you are fitting it to a V3 gearbox.

Thanks; I did wonder if it was a poor attempt at haiku. Applying for Chapter 11 does give them an opportunity to try to restructure the business and come out of it reasonably intact.

Baffled.

That is so bad that it is brilliant!

Out of interest, what are the pros and cons of the DSR?
