As Chev alluded to, you should definitely complement a hammer spring upgrade with a recoil spring upgrade.

H8ers, amazing toys that never on classifieds?
Galvatron replied to Jaylordofwaargh's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Very gas efficient. I went through 8 "Oreos" of BBs and it ran out of CO2 on the 9th. I was able to lift 0.28g BBs on a 20m range when I tweaked the hop-up. Apparently with Gen 1, you will struggle to lift more than 0.25g to the same distance. -

I have one (Gen 2) because I wanted something a bit different as a collector's piece and I bought it knowing it's something of a niche so I'd take a big loss reselling/trading it if I considered that. I do see myself fielding it one day but I'd want to sort out a holster first. -
It's all well and good that prices are set and non-negotiable but don't you think creating leverage on price might attract a beginner's interest let alone the interest of a frequent player who'd be more aware of whether items are price-competitive or not? You can get 3 bottles of Nuprol green gas from airsoft retailers, none of are opened or are four-fifths full, for under £33. You can get the 7.4v Nuprol batteries (both unopened) and the B3 charger for less than £60. By your admission, the paint on the SSP-18 is badly damaged. Might it not be worth showing the extent of the paint damage? Wrapping it up doesn't mitigate that from a value standpoint - two-tone invariably devalues an airsoft gun.

3 bottles of Nuprol green gas for £40? I was able to get 3 (none of which were opened) for £33 from one of my local retailers and that was before my 10% membership discount was applied.
-
I wish you hadn't mentioned that because they bother me far more than they really ought to. 🤣
-
I resent that! Hot hatches are perfectly practical and affordable, if slightly showy, cars. 😅 It's more like a hot hatch that's had its wheels cambered to such an extreme angle that it looks like a fawn trying to stand just after it's been born.

For the sake of transparency, it may be worth itemising this bundle more completely, especially the primary and secondary, which I assume are a KWA EVE-4 and a two-tone Vorsk Hi-Capa 4.3" Red Match. Though you have shown two tracer units, they're not mentioned in the description (Acetech Blaster C and Acetech Brighter C). How many times have the gas bottles been used? Is the KWA gun's flash hider included? Were the HK Army face mask and other eye protection bought from an airsoft retailer? When you look at the ~70% of retail pricing rule for used airsoft gear (and a lower percentage for accessories), I suspect some people may ask where the £650 price comes from or they may ask if you'll split items from the bundle.
-
Now they've followed Rule 5, I'm curious how £650 aligns with the ~70% rule, especially when BBs from two of the bottles have been used, the pistol is a two-tone jobbie and the KWA gun is missing its flash hider. I get there are tracers and a kydex holster but that price looks optimistic.

Tackle drew 3 and 9 today from a disgruntled would-be seller. He wasn't too happy about not being treated with kid gloves for his inattention and said it would be a pain in the arse to write his listing back up and said he feels encouraged not to post again. Surely you don't threaten moderators with an easier job looking after the forums?
-
That's odd. I only see SOPMOD adapter with the NGRS TM AR-15-based guns. Can you not use a 8.4V NiMH or 7.4V LiPo, either of which have a Tamiya lead? The Rebel charger you described is one that charges through the balance lead rather than on the Tamiya/Deans/XT60 lead and a balance lead.
-
I agree with The_Lord_Poncho Large bundles are notoriously difficult to sell for what you want and in a timely manner. You'll sooner see lowballers who'll flip what they don't want or timewasters than find genuine people meeting or coming close to your asking price.

I had a look for the FMA F1 mask on Ali Express and it lived up to expectations. It mentioned being suitable for airsoft and paintball but the specs were predictably vague. The Engrish specs state the impact protection is up to 600 ft/s without saying the mass of the projectile so that 600 ft/s rating means sweet Fanny Adams. Sometimes what's not mentioned is crucial and that lends well to "buyer beware". No mention of EN166B, ANSI Z87+ or any worthy rating standard should be a big red flag. Unfortunately, we have the luxury of knowing what to look out for but Amazon Marketplace, Temu and Ali Express prey on the ignorance of newbies, especially parents who don't know what to look out for. You've also got to be wary of clones that falsely declare being compliant, unlike the real ones. You have to be. I gave a mate of mine bit of a bollocking when he'd walked just 10m into the game area and took his eye pro off as it was fogging up despite having had two safety briefings. He knows now either to ask for help from another player or a marshal to get back to the safe zone if he fogs up and can't see.

Welcome! Glad to see another P90 user. It was both GoldenEye 007 and SG1 that persuaded me to buy into that airsoft platform. 😁
-
Welcome! I haven't converted one but it uses a V2 gearbox without a load of proprietary nonsense such as a DE-specific V2 casing, as far as I'm aware. Putting in a V2 engine shouldn't be a big challenge (famous last words). Maybe it's worth having a look at Pheas Airsoft's videos on the Honey Badger? I'm sure he did a diassembly video a while back.
-
It looks it from the Airsoft Hub post. Blue paint can be seen on the handguard and the stock looks like uneven spraying. He sounds like he's trying to deflect and gaslight in implying it makes no difference if it was originally two-tone. It made a difference to him not to be two-tone when he painted the damn thing.
-
Reducing the number of mags isn't necessarily the objective or beneficial. I had a mate ditch his primary and use his sidearm only. Let's just say that running out of ammo mid-game was identified before he went to the game area as a likely outcome and that he did it twice without learning his lesson. 🤣

I can see myself fielding one of these for that reason.

"I don't care that the stock and handguard look like Jermaine Jackson's dyed hair compared to the receivers. I kN0w wh4t I'v3 g0t!"
-
Clearly, he took a good toke from his crack pipe today. https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/gg-armament_i76524 Not only has his pisstake gone up to £360 for the Warthog, he also exposed his gun as being a resprayed two-tone without disclosing it in the description so what else is he not being honest about? You can't unsee the two-tone once you look at the stock. 🤦♂️

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/37012-gg-combat-machine The seller wants £300 for a used G&G rifle you can get for £290 from Patrol Base and £60 for a used torch retailing for £55. Also after £100 for an unbranded two-tone "1911" that I'm pretty sure is a Hi-Capa (possibly WE Tech) with the base plate the wrong way round or the mag's been inserted incorrectly.
-
Damn it! I do rather like the look of the PPSh. It should be the law that it's supplied with a drum mag.
-
https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/36945-m4-fully-kitted I'll put my hand up if I'm wrong. The seller's not exactly been transparent about this "Pioneer M4". I see what looks like a Rock River Arms so perhaps it's something from Specna Arms but the 3x magnifier looks like the cheap jobbies you can get for a tenner (if that) at a boot sale. I assume the Eotech holo replica is one of the dime a dozen on the used market and have similar thoughts on the bipod. I don't see this being worth £180 used. I'm not going to comment any more on how far forward the holo is that it bothers me more than it should.
