WTF is the point in that! 😂 Im sorry that Velcro’s together round your gooch 😳

PS white lithium is fine for the gears, just use something like Superlube, TechT or similar for the compresson parts so they dont dry out and bind up/drag which would result in a stripped piston or similar.

Its worth checking your bucking to nozzle seal, this is done by having the gearbox set such that the nozzle is in its most forward postion, then push the hop unit assy into the front of the gearbox, if you now blow into the exit end of the inner barrel it should be completely air tight. This will highlight a poor seal between; Bicking to barrel/hop assy Nozzle and bucking lips Nozzle to cyl head Piston to cylinder

That actually looks quite pretty, is it an actual W anchor gun? Whats inside? Is the paracord structural?

The best advice is definitely have an active job that doesn’t involve you being in stress positions for hours every day. Like others I’ve got one weaker knee from work, it suck’s sometimes. Luckily I think I cottoned on to it pretty soon, and as such I make concerted effort to strengthen it by doing rucks and taking joint supplements, collagen peptides look very interesting (not the fillers, they look interesting for sure 😂), but as a powder supplement, it plays a big part in joint cartilage repair which falls off a cliff naturally once in your 30s I believe.

Its definitely a bonus for guns with tiny battery space, but TBH its a lot of cash, you could run any quality 25k brushed motor for half, if not a third of the cost. They are nice dont get me wrong, but a bit of ballache to fit, i think their ideal usage is in DMRs / 400+ guns.

Indeed, 7.4v 13:1 with 22TPA was my go to setup on 20+ builds, but the brushless motors allow the same response on a 18:1 setup when run on 11.1, run waaaay cooler, batteries last so much longer, and the gearbox on the whole is quieter owing to less stress - eg lower gear ratio / torque through gears. @J4ck you could run any of the nice setups above, even a brushless motor without having to use an internal/smart fet, just use a decent external mosfet like Perun AB++. If you do use the brushless motor make sure to disable or run the lowest active brake settings. Also of note that if you intend to change the pinion on a brushless it can require some extra work that some might find scary to do considering the cost of the motor.

Best new setup ive implemented a few times with great success is; 11.1v Warhead standard speed or other quality brushed 25k motor with stock gears (18:1) and helical bevel. Just makes the sweetest sounding action with zero stress. Will put out 19RPS on an M110 so is the goldilocks speed if you ask me Obv this doesnt help the OP with his gearbox of choice currently, but hopefully good info for what guts to use. And obv you will want a suitable mosfet at least or Perun Hybrid/Gate Titan etc to optimise.

Do you have any actual knee issues like tissue damage or previous injuries? Or does it just feel achey and/or weak sometimes? Seeing as you run long games away from the safe zone (lucky git) and you need stuff to stay hydrated and bomb up I would say a better setup would be to have a chest rig (personally love the TT MAV 2) for all your actual battle gear. Then support that with a backpack that carries all your restock/hydro/food. That will ditch a good 2-3kg I’d wager at least. Cheap and most excellent, will carry everything you have described. https://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/tactical-tailor-fight-light-mav-2-piece-23018lw-15480-p.asp

Any tall peeps that can recommend short sleeve polo shirts that have a nice long torso and sleeve length? TIA

Just ordered a looooooooooong offput PC in my fave Greenzone seeing as all GZ is becoming unobtanium it would seem. Hopefully il have it in a wek or two... like waiting for christmas

Whats the big silencer down the side of the cabinet for!?

Flags aren’t that expensive

Noice! What are they all internally?

An AEG can easily be as consistent as HPA. AEGs can be as quiet as HPA if implemented in bullpups. But this is a moot point really as using HPA in an assault role doesn’t really go hand in hand with mouse fart gun report. You are missing my point, yes you can HPA anything, but the benefits of the platform don’t really come to bear until your up at 400+. PS I’m not hating on HPA, I have run many in the past and still have a Kythera. Also when I’m talking about NGRS I’m specifically meaning the M4 / 416 / 417 / Scar variants

If you want a new gun for realism I always run GBB pistols, they are the most satisfying of all airsoft guns imo. I would only ever use/advise TM, all others are sub par in every aspect other than ‘got heavy metal slide’. The TM FNX is an absolute beast out of the box - hopping silly heavy ammo out to 55-60M accurately - bog standard! TM HK45 / USP / Glock G4 are all 50M guns. Back to rifles… They all cost the same to buy/build really when at a high level, however running costs don’t. IMO worst to best; HPA offers nothing but ROF and ball ache when utilised at full auto FPS’s. Its best used for DMR and Sniper. GBBR is fun, yes the MWS is very simple/cheap to upgrade. It is best suited to those who take considered shots. Good for milsims & CQB where you can bomb up more often. But as said above makes for a very heavy load out and gas can be a pain to keep on top of. If you want a cheaper GBBR fix the TM MP7 is the way to go, it’s loud, violent, 50M capable and down right fun! Leads us to the inevitable, TM NGRS. Ive built a lot of guns, if you want the most performance in all aspects. Even if you ran a pretty stock NGRS you’ll be impressed, just change the nub and fit a nice 6.03 barrel. If you do any more than that you need to go the whole hog inside really. I don’t know if you have pistols, but if you don’t and you want the best performing setup in 99% of scenarios with the most enjoyment run a TM pistol and NGRS 😉 Do let us know what you decide 😁

Everyone looks dismayed apart from Ghillie man, almost like youd nailed them all 😂

Looks smart for sure!

My mates first airsoft gun was a JG Scorpion, he used to wreak havoc with it!!

*I feel like this rug is a bit much… 😁

Also helps if you have a long neck or wear big goggs/face mask. Stick a MAWL in front of it thatll 'lower' it

I’m not happy with the stock, thinking of doing it same as the lower receiver, what you think?
