They also list lower joule limits for anything over 0.20g than they do for 0.20g, which is bizarre.

Anzio have had lower power limits for HPA for a while; overall, their FPs limits do not make much sense.

I have had success with the Chilun V2.0; it is a switch based ETU so you take your chances on its longevity. It does require minor modifications to most gearboxes.

It isn't particularly difficult to install. What you have in the G&Gs is irrelevant unless you want to try to install a G&G ETU and Perun ETU++ in the SA, which may or may not work and would be a very expensive approach.

Despite a terrible weather forecast, I decided to go to Tower Airsoft in Essex today for a third successive weekend of airsoft, as I am unlikely to be able to play for at least the next two, and possibly three or four, weekends due to rehearsals, a festival set and, weather dependent, hiking on Dartmoor. As the lad had set off for the Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg for a week of playing with G36s and other interesting activities, I was on my own this time. Despite the site not usually playing host to HPA users, attendance was once again low, with a group of rentals forming a significant percentage of those present. However, in true Tower style, the games suited the numbers present and a good day was had. The rentals turned out to be good players and the teams were well balanced, with the times for two legged games being almost identical. One "amusing" incident related to the site's 30m minimum engagement distance for full auto. While defending the village in one game, I was hit by a short full auto burst from about 4m; when I mentioned the rule to the player, he replied that it wasn't full auto as it was a three round burst; the marshal "had a word". The forecast heavy rain and strong wind failed to put in an appearance, which was a bonus. Weapons used: CYMA/LCT/real steel MPiKM Golden Eagle AMD-65 Milbro Classic M1911 The MPiKM has been running low on power for a while; a quick strip down this evening revealed that the piston head O ring was no longer sealing. It is now back up to power:).

Yes, that does the job as well.

Yep! It was what the school cadet force had.

It is locked to semi unless you buy the full auto selector.

LOL

Still recovering from finding out the hard way! Mind you, I started off with 37 pattern.

Just don't let the 58 pattern webbing get wet!

I doubt that anyone you meet at an airsoft site would find it offensive. However, in some Muslim traditions green ones are worn by those who are regarded as descendants of the Prophet and the Imam Ali. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Different coloured keffiyehs were used to indicate allegiance to Fatah and the PFLP; wearing the wrong one in the wrong place at the wrong time was potentially a life shortening mistake.

Mine gets a regular run out; it works well now that I have reworked the internals, including modifying a standard steel COL to replace the original soft cheese one.

The thought never crossed my mind. 🔥🚒

The classic refrain of every conspiracy theorist, flat earther, young earther, creationist or whatever,

I picked up a welt like on Sunday; there were no HPAs at the site. You probably should take up another hobby; airsoft seems to cause you nothing but stress and angst.

I would not buy one; the lad and I had one each and they are a bit crap. They are very inconsistent, the hop unit is crap and the only available upgrade is a pretty average hop rubber. I am still using mine while deciding what to get to replace it.

£11.99 minus £9.00 wholesale = £2.99 profit. Take off the contribution to general costs and they are not exactly ripping off the punters, are they? However, it does seem a heck of a lot for a patch.

The vast majority of G&G ETUs do not like anything lower than 11.1v, although the lad had one that ran happily on 7.4v. As concretesnail suggests, switching the board, which is easily accessible in the stock, to a Perun ETU++ will enable you to run on 7.4v or 9.9v and give you a few funky options such as precocking and a wider selection of fire selector options.

As someone who does a lot of hiking, I have never really understood the need for expensive hiking trousers; a pair of flecktarn shorts or DPM trousers do the job perfectly well. Most hiking clothing is more about marketing than need.

Today, the lad and I headed over to Dragon's Lair in Essex, a site that we visit 3 or 4 times a year at most. It is a small, heavily wooded site with lots of structures including a village, a fort and quite a few barricades. It has a rather decent and surprisingly large safe zone, with free tea and coffee available throughout the day, a basic site shop, provided by Airsoft Zone, and an in-house tech. We always take pizza when we play airsoft, mainly because it has become something of a ritual to do so, but also because most sites do not really cater for vegetarians. Today, we were very glad that we did as lunch was not available on site and it is quite a long way to anywhere that sells food. We were rather surprised at how few players were there today; we are used to there being around 100+, but only about 50 were present today, with fewer after lunch and as the afternoon wore on. One nice surprise was that finding that they now chrono using the BB weight that you will be using, rather than just using 0.20g BBs; I know that we can discuss whether chronoing serves any real purpose, other than providing a moderately reassuring ritual, but this seemed like a significant step forward. As usual, the games were fairly short, simple, straightforward and good fun; having fewer players present helped as the site can feel a bit "wall to wall" when it is busy. We played a good variety of relatively simple games throughout the day, with the first one being particularly memorable as I ended up behind the opposing (attacking) team and had great fun crawling around in a heavily overgrown ditch taking players out and hearing them complaining about being shot by their own team. In the reverse of that game, we completed the objectives in about 30 minutes, whereas the other team had taken nearly an hour. Other games played included a push the flag game, last man standing in the village and frozen (when you are hit, you have to remain still and can only be released by someone on your own team shooting you). Overall, it was a good, fun day. The games played worked well with the numbers and the marshalling was on point; the teams were rebalanced a couple of times in the afternoon as player numbers decreased. Weapons used: Me: CA HK33 CA HK53 Milbro M1911 Classic CO2 The lad: E&L AKS74U CYMA AK105 ASG XP18 Commander CO2 That is really pathetic; it is supposed to be fun. One site that we play at makes a point of mentioning in the safety brief that, if you lay hands on another player in anger, they will support the 'victim' if they want the police involved. It is one of the best sites that I know for player behaviour.

Happy to help and I am pleased the O rings did the job.

The O ring in the base of the CO2 valve (the one in the back of the magazine) has failed. You will need to unscrew the valve, get the O ring out, which is easier said than done, and replace it. The O ring is 8mm O/D x 6mm I/D. If you message me your address I can send you some.
