https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/33973-nuprol-m4-package Have I missed something obvious? How do the Nuprol Delta Nomad Bravo a Theta Optics scope and the accessories equate to a £500 value?

Fair point. I don't see which two are worth that brand new, even with all the accessories.

What's the issue? If he wants £350 for the lot, that doesn't look like a bad deal even if some of the guns are two-tone. It's not for me personally but I don't think that price for what appears to be 6 reasonable guns in working order is that of a dreamer.

That's really scummy. One thing I appreciate about bricks & mortar retail is that you can usually speak in person if something goes wrong with whatever you buy and have less chance of being ghosted with emails or phone calls with a web-only retailer. The fact that people would "showroom" and order online on the premises without asking for a price match shows shameless contempt.

I never bought from them, purely for not having anything I really wanted at the time but it's a shame. As already said, it's a warning of the state of UK retail though I blame business rates and property leases (along with the lack of relief) for the most part. I've always bought new RIFs and other expensive items from the UK only where possible to support retailers.

I don't think that makes you a bad player. It shows you to be a player willing to go out there for whatever objectives and risk being hit instead of obsessing over having at least a 1.0 k/d ratio so I reckon most players will respect and even admire that. Welcome!

I wouldn't have given the benefit of the doubt had I not seen they'd since posted this as well. Without a note to verify the seller's identity, it's still suspect.

The gun is a repainted (flaking and scraping away) two-tone and I don't see the extras being worth (used) more than the 30% depreciation from current retail, let alone the price being above retail for the base gun.

I've had noise-induced hearing loss (non-airsoft event) and that wasn't fun. Thankfully it returned in a few hours with no permanent effects. For indoors with BFGs, I would definitely use ear pro. I use plugs that have something like a 20dB attenuation so I can still hear voices but loud noises are dulled.

Assuming that you are under 18, did your parents refuse?

Fair point. It should be asked as not everybody looking for something resembling an MP7 may be in the know of its low power.

Dibs on the number of Vorsk and possibly Raven pistols entering the mix?

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/two-tone-replicas/gas-powered_2/we-hi-cappa-5-1-two-tone_i66071 He's dreaming to list a two-tone used Hi-Capa for £110 when one can get the RIF for a fiver less from a retailer. https://www.ammodrop.co.uk/we-hi-capa-51-r-gbb-pistol I just hope there isn't sucker born every minute

Without knowing what you're currently shooting at to set a baseline, nobody can say for certain if 50 degree bucking would be suitable. Are you saying you're using an M120 spring or that your Evo III has got to have such a spring?

This is the thread we're using to name and shame

Alternatively, you can use this formula in Excel or similar spreadsheet programme depending on whether you use feet per second or metres per second so you can see the workings of how kinetic energy is calculated =1/2*(cell with weight in grams/1000)*(cell with speed in fps/3.28084)^2 =1/2*(cell with weight in grams/1000)*(cell with speed in m/s)^2

It's not but I didn't find adjusting the hop on the gear-based unit particularly easy with gloves on.

I changed the hop unit (Prometheus rotary) and bucking (Maple Leaf Macaron 50 & bucking) in my CM16 Predator and my range has been improved. I use 0.28g or 0.32g BBs outdoors as 0.25g or 0.2g are too easily affected by crosswinds so the range especially sucks with them.

Yeah, Poach is right about Meta virtue signalling on promoting firearms while it has no problems with the spread of misinformation and xenophobia. Instagram is shadow banning airsofters. Some of the Whatsapp buy & sell groups have just turned into glorified chat rooms with a load of banalities under a pretence of "banter".

I went to RIFT Airsoft's Epic Weekender for Saturday at Dalton Barracks in Abingdon. Getting registered, signed in and parked up were swift considering the volume of cars. Chrono testing was no hassle for me though some players didn't follow the marshals advice and didn't get to there as soon as possible so there was a bit of a delay ahead of the safety briefing and more marshals joined to speed up the chrono test. Tony did his best to keep the safety briefing as short as possible given that it was hammering down with rain in the morning (weekend players weren't required to attend the Sunday briefing after attending that on Saturday). The mission objectives were a lot of fun as the Blue Team had to recover laptops from across the map while preventing Red Team from retrieving mortar ammo tins and returning them to either of the two mortar points on the map. Both teams had the opportunity to stop the Land Rover Snatch vehicles with smoke grenades and steal a jerry can (only one at a time). Game play was good despite the morning weather. Both teams pushed forward and retrieved items from across the map though some understandably took cover within the containers or near trees. Some players did leave after the morning game due to the weather so teams were rebalanced for the afternoon game and the objectives were swapped. There were alternatives later in the day where there were 1v1, 2v2 and 4v4 competitions in the bunker. White Sphere Tactical had a daily raffle where several items could be won including a TM Single Action Army pistol, another couple of RIFs and some tactical gear along with a lifetime membership in Saturday's draw. There was also a weekend raffle where a TM H&K 416 NGRS was the prize. On special offer through WST were AAP-01s for £70 apiece. Players were able to sell their RIFs and gear at the site. RIFT Airsoft itself was selling its ex-rental G&G CM16 Raiders for £35 working or £20 boneyard. Through RIFT you could also buy ammo, gas and pyro. Food options were plentiful with chicken wraps, hot dogs, sausage rolls and pasties available along with chocolate bars, ice cream. In addition to the water and fizzy drinks available throughout the day, a selection of beers and ciders were available to purchase later in the day though you wouldn't be allowed to play if you drank alcohol. The MoD did some really nice burgers in the afternoon for a reasonable price. Blood Cancer UK was a charity of choice and £1,000 was raised for it. Despite the miserable start to the day, I enjoyed my time, catching up with players I'd shot alongside or against before and made new acquaintances at the same time.

Now may not be the best time to sell as you can get the base gun (no RMR sight or rail mount) with silver trim instead of red for £80 from Patrol Base at the moment. The mock suppressor will add little as a used item so with the extra mag, you may get £90-100 on a good day but with what looks like a paint chip or scuff on the hammer, I wouldn't be surprised if you get lower offers as Vorsk hasn't got the strongest reputation for resale value.

I'm sorry but I don't quite get the context. Do they chrono test on 0.2g only and not on the weight the player is using? If that's the context, I agree with Hudson's suggestion that doing tests with different weights to illustrate joule creep would be a good idea. I would have thought liability insurance policies would be strict about energy limits.
