Agreed. "Desperate" is the wrong word. How funny would it be that something on this very expensive replica is incorrect because he didn't wait for a few more images and angles of the thing.
-
I also have to laugh at how seemingly desperate DCA appears. One measly Royal Marine promo image comes out, and straight away he's making plans to build (and overcharge) airsoft replicas based on it. It's not even a very interesting rifle.

Imagine you're starting a new airsoft site. What would you get for rental rifles?
Whatever you pick, it would have to be:
- Good value.
- Sturdy enough to withstand new and inexperienced players.
- Average performance and range with great consistency.
- Extremely reliable.
-Built well enough to not require fussing over and servicing every day.
- Ideally, just works straight out of the box.
What would you pick?
(Yes, this is a roundabout way of saying I'm in the market for a new gun and I need advice lol)

At one point Ground Zero were handing out G&G GEC36s as their site guns. Pretty expensive way of equipping your site (at current prices), but they were best buds with G&G 'back in the day' so I assume they got them cheap. Rock solid G36 variant- seemed to be tougher than the indomitable JG G36.

What amperage should I charge my lipo batteries at?
Battery = li-po, 1300mAh, 7.4v, 25C, 8Wh
Charger = Turingy Accucell 6.
I read recently the suggestion that its better to charge lipos slower, but I need to balance that against getting them charged in time for tomorrow! Any advice?

Using the method Adolf explained to find out what amp to charge the battery at is the general rule of thumb mate. If you have a battery that is 1450 Mah for example it will be 1.45 amp. However you can't usually go up in .5 so I always tend to keep mine under to be safe so I charge my 1450 Mah lipos at 1.4 amps and my 1300 at 1.3 👍🏼... Make sure you're using a decent smart charge intended for lipos and be sure to select "balance charge" and have the little white plug on your battery connected to the charger.

I always charge at 1A, takes longer but makes sure I don't kill the battery

Heads up - seems I and anyone else can still access any page on this site that isn't http://airsoft-forums.uk (which is still showing the "under maintenance" notice".)

Talking about the Tutorial subboard specifically, but every pinned thread on the forum could probably do with some going over to see if they're really relevant, or needed, anymore. e.g. Some pinned threads in "Tutorials" are essentially just links to a long defunct website (mechbox.com - which in itself I always thought was just trying to make the word "mechbox" a thing, but that's beside the point.) Clearing out old and worth-less pinned threads can make room for our contemporaries to recreate the same content, but better and more up to date.

We've had a laugh - I think now is the time to be welcoming and accommodating. @1omegasquadron I'd consider asking admin to delete this thread and you can try again (but sounding less tryhard-ish).

I foresee a "Killbox"-like situation. Good luck everybody!

ChatGPT to the rescue! (Bold text added for emphasis.) I also had the AI analyse the communication quality of the original post, for the funny: Gosh. We can all learn.

Should I pull out the foam from my Desert Locust goggles?

Protect your goggles with this BLACKHAWK! goggle cover. This thing is worth buying just for the packaging alone. Look and laugh at the funny parachuting man. Be in awe at the LITERAL EXPLOSION and stuff printed on the front. Ponder the ad read for BLACKHAWK! products on the back, and try not to swell with patriotism. Wonder why more companies don't have "!" in their names as it's clearly a really good idea. Oh say can you see! (that this product is made in Vietnam) I am (not) charging silly money for this as BLACKHAWK! have since massively changed their branding to be far more sleek and contemporary boring, making this item (or rather, the packaging) very rare. Exotic even. An in-your-face reminder of how things used to be. Offers of at least ten million pounds welcomed.£10

Apologies for the necro - I found out some relevant info after hunting for my own set of Desert Locust thermal lenses. Apparently Revision discontinued them about a year ago. Revision also thinks that they weren't that much better in terms of anti-fog compared to the standard Desert Locust lens, which was a reason why they discontinued them. Ian at https://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/ advised that the lenses were made to order, and that they and a company in France were possibly the only retailers that ever ordered them. Thermal lenses were never issued by any military, they were only sold to retailers, hence why they were rare before (and even rarer now). As for myself, Ian found me a new set of Desert Locust thermal lenses gathering dust in some box in his warehouse! So I've got 'em now. Sorry to everyone else who may have been looking for a set.

https://exmachina.uk/ Assuming this is the tech's website - it says "Will return Summer 2023." Hopefully it really is just a case of a tech having life issues and getting themselves sorted out before returning to work, and not a scam. Can't believe you sold a whole working gearbox for the sake of some wiring though.

An excellent point. I ask because my last game day I overheard marshals questioning if one of their chrono units was on the fizz, and one of them insisted that he "calibrated all of them tournament standards" (or something like that - my memory is fuzzy on the exact wording).

I need a Type 89. Is TM my only choice?

Just got my hands on a chronograph (Acetech AC6000BT). Does it require calibration or does it just work out of the box? Is calibration even a thing? I can't see anything like that referenced in the manual.

Any recommendations for 7.4v M4 buffer tube LiPo batteries? The Perun manual says a high "C" rating is best.

Is there a best practice for handling Bio BBs? A while back I bought a bag at my local site. It was fine in the morning but started badly misfeeding in the afternoon. Someone mentioned that the breakdown process starts when bio BBs are exposed to moisture and start to swell in size. Should I avoid touching bios directly? Use a scoop? That kind of thing?

Why is everyone and their dog selling AR-9s now? Seems to be the new ubiquitous "thing".

I've had a look and I will actually seriously consider it. Thank you!
