    What brand BBs are best nowadays? Bang for buck.

    if your gun is travelling at 300 FPS, and your BB shoots 300 FPS, your BB will still be travelling at 300 FPS, because the speed of BB is constant regardless of frame of reference according to relativistic physics, it may look faster but it is experiencing time differently because of time dilation via Magnus effect applied by the hop up

     

    If your gun is travelling at 300fps then your BB will be travelling at 300fps anyway.  Along with all the BBs in the magazine...and the magazine.  If you happen to be attached to your gun then you'll be travelling at 300fps too!  I'm not sure relativism has much to do with it at that point, though you might get some funny looks off the marshalls.

    Airsoft-Forum Patch Poll

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Can I suggest that you change the poll text slightly to target only those that have bought and paid for a patch.  I know it's implicit in the context of your issue (with the patch), but with this poll text you're likely to have people voting no for where they haven't bought one.  Will seriously skew your results.

     

    Maybe even add a 3rd option for people who haven't bought one, for engagement purposes.

    Gun picture thread

    Figured its about time I shared my 20 year old TM Steyr AUG.  Still my only AEG and running perfectly with some upgrades over time. 

     

    Still want to play about with the under barrel rails but this does the job for now and doesn't look too bad.  A barrel clamp with Rail riser attached.  I got a 3D printed rail similar to the AUG HC piece but need to modify it a little to fit.

     

    Also need to get the Feyachi magnifier to sit behind the reflex sight (which is sitting quite far back as I needed to fit the lens protector on (not an issue when I get the Red Dot Eng. protectors in.

    I know I'm a bit late to the party but.

    As an older player with a daughter that plays on occasion I look at it a bit different.

    I think that he should be an ambassador for the game which we love with his YouTube channel and all the views that he gets, and try and get new people into the game. As that's what keeps Airsoft going is new players coming in and spending money on the latest stuff. But no he is out for affect mostly bad and doing nothing but damaging Airsoft,  

     

    I think I get what you're saying.  Somebody on Youtube with the kind of audience the KM has should be out there making the case for our hobby and bringing in new people.  Instead, he's just a knob potentially putting people off.

    It's weird how people now automatically turn to AI rather than good old photoshop.  This is most likely a photoshop.  I don't think it has any of the marks of an AI image.  Guess AI is the trendy word but it annoys me when people use it in the wrong places.

     

    Thinking about it, I'm sure anybody walking about in Londonderry looking like that is gonna be handled pretty quickly even without the links to HAMAS!

    Helikon-Tex History of Camouflage eBook

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Posted

    To be fair they did very briefly mention the use of camouflage by hunters prior to WW1 but it was just a sentence.

     

    It's a fairly well written brief read, though I'm guessing it's acting more as a marketing tool mostly discussing patterns that they sell with a few others.  Must say, I'm slightly tempted to try Pencott as a result.

     

    The bit on camouflage in the animal kingdom was quite amusing in its simplicity but I think my favourite bit was the TigerStripe pic after all the other camo patterns being presented in actual environments.

    Helikon-Tex History of Camouflage eBook

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    Hey guys,

     

    Got an email come through from Helikon recently to download a free eBook all about the history of camouflage (mainly Europe).

    I haven't read through it all but it's short and quite interesting in a nerdy way.  You have to subscribe to the newsletter but it's easy enough to unsubscribe afterwards and I quite like their gear anyway.

    Aug double trigger doodad and a MOSFET walk into a bar....

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I'm a bit of a noob and other more experienced people here could probably give you a direct answer.

     

    With that said, I did recently fit the Perun AUG mosfet to my old TM AUG.  I got rid of the trigger bar completely (now magnetic trigger) but not sure what you mean by the cut off lever.

     

    Perhaps you could post a picture of what you have.  Also, this Youtube vid might help.  He breaks into the gearbox around 11 mins or so -

    I ordered from VapexTech not too long ago.  Can't remember how long it took but wasn't too long and it did arrive.

     

    No dispatch email was sent.  Give it a little longer, it should arrive.

     

    As far as I could tell, they're about the best battery retailer for UK just now.  They have the stock at good price and not mental P&P.

    Thanks for cat-wrangling for so long, I can't imagine there will be a big queue of volunteers daft enough to be the someone in "Why someone oughta!"

    Reasonably priced lightweight chest rig

    in Guns, Gear & Loadouts

    I really like my Condor Ops chest rig.  You can get their pre-set chest rigs for about £60 if that's your range.  They do a similar rig to the Bulle above but I like having a bit more MOLLE up front -

    I got the un-built one and added my own Flecktarn pouches, along with the "bib" and the hydro harness.  Its a great modular platform.

    You can just cut that 3rd position into the safe bar :D

    I saw your post on this a while back.  I was gonna do it but then plumped for the more expensive option and got myself the Perun AUG ETU/mosfet.

     

    Other than cramming the gearbox back in with the cable attachment length connected to the motor it was a breeze to fit and it shoots real nice.  But yeah, not a budget option!

    I still exclusively use my ancient TM AUG A2 from many moons ago and I love it (has been modernised recently).

     

    I can't speak for any of the other brands, but just wanted to drop a note to be mindful of the scope rail.  On my TM at least its a Weaver rail as opposed to picatinny.  I recently had to Dremel out an extra section to fit my most recent scope purchase.
