I went to a couple on Saturday; North Staffs Airsoft Centre was a waste of time, with hardly any stock, and Staffordshire Militaria was very off putting.

Somewhat unsurprisingly given the size of my boot collection, I have a pair of those; they are rather nice.

`Ah, yes! I had completely forgotten about the pataphysics of HPA according to that particular individual.

Thanks, ChatGPT.

Not all mags and guns are interchangeable. It is probable that the interface between the tube at the bottom of the hop unit and the magazine is not quite right, preventing the BB latch on the mag being pushed back adequately to allow the BBs to feed. Have you tried shooting with the mag pushed forward or pulled back? If it shoots in one of those positions, you can stick sticky backed Velcro (the soft side) in the magwell so that the mag sits correctly. Some guns are very picky about which mages they will feed from. Specna are known to be picky; this page may help: https://specnaarms.com/en/magazine-compatibility-chart/

Obviously, there is a slight power and velocity difference between 1.06J and 1.09J; however, it should not really be noticeable. Are the barrels the same length or is one significantly longer than the other? The 0.24J power change is pretty hard to explain unless you have gone from a short, wide bore barrel to a long, tighter bore barrel. A weaker spring and a tighter barrel is usually better as it puts less stress on the gearbox, unless the combination of a weak spring and a fast motor/gear set leads to overspin, which can be cured with an AB mosfet anyway.

Probably not.

Go for it!

One of his other adverts: https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/16125 He will pay postage! How fucking generous.

Several year ago, I was at a very badly run "milsim" where a player launched a TAG that hit an opposing player; the confrontation afterwards was interesting. The whole event was an utter shit show and lots of us left early.

You are right; it is! A thousand apologies.

It isn't a spork.

Tactical spoon! Cool!

The tumbleweed rolling through this thread answers my question. The lad asked the same question in local airsoft groups and got the same response. I guess it is a local site, for local people.

Because we aren't as fat as Americans.

That sounds like a plan!

It is very kind of them.

Aye; that is a shame. Hopefully, someone told them that this was not the norm for most sites.

The battery voltage does not affect the power output of the gun; it does affect the rate of fire and the responsiveness.

A brilliant way to sell a new site to potential players! So many sites seem to be run by people who do not have a clue.

I would not use an Orion gearbox, but if that is what fits in your RIF...

That might well be enough. I am intrigued by the apparently rusty front body pin.

Most likely. They really are not very good. I bought a couple a few years ago when they were being touted as the "new best thing"; they weren't.
