I'm dubious enough as it is of Ares internals without putting an 11.1v in them!

Lmao :D

good point, think if mine ever dose give up i am going to P* jack it

If I can motivate my fat lazy arse, I want to do a disassembly video for the 58.

Do you know if any exist already, so I have an excuse not to do it?

ImTriggerHappy, you are a bad human being

Thats a lot more polite than what most people call me.

LOL

Waaa? I've read a review where someone tested the power of his gun by shooting his dog... dafuq?

how else would you know if it's strong enough to inflict pain on a dog? duh!

just kiddin'!!

at just over £4 - get a file/dremmel and MAKE them fit

bummer - then it might have to to be the vapex ones

as one I listed were long 116mm

I don't think there's any way you *could* dremel or file, tbh.

The way the thing's designed, if you take anything off the areas that *would* increase space you're going straight into a structural part, and then that opens up a whole new can of worms!

Thanks for the help, but I think I'm just going to have to struggle on with what I have at present; at least unless someone makes an entire top cover that's actually a LiPo!

Eh, I wouldn't be taking it back anyhow tbh.

I'll stick with my own tech-work from now on; it's about the only way I get stuff working properly!

always the way when my other half makes me tidy up my mess as she calls it, then I can never locate the stuff again for yonks. Ah bless 'em

It's not mess; it's organised chaos. I know where each & every part is until it gets tidied!

Aye, that's pretty much what we've been telling them. Advised them to go down to citizens advice anyway, to get a professional opinion.

Thanks for the help guys.

Stroppy seller - I'd say forward their details to trading standards but they won't do much on just one notification. But all the same wish they get a visit if selling fake goods at near real prices and buyers getting tucked up after paying good money

Distance Selling Regs have been phased out and replaced with Consumer Contracts Regulations and Consumer Rights Act, but basically a combination of the 2 mean the seller has zero chance of this making it past an initial hearing in court.

The amount of times I've seen "full metal" and they really mean the slide or something in terms of a pistol...

you guys need to stop shopping at JustBBguns then, I stopped ages ago - well last week to be exact...

Oooohhhh another QUALITY B500a1 offer, go on then about time I got a pro gun

Definitely top quality there, Duck!

It's a fairly large site - old abandoned WW2 RAF training ground. It's got 5 main areas of contact between the two teams, so at 120, that's 60 on each team, split across the 5 areas which takes it down to 12 per squad, minus 4 on each who are doddling back to respawn, so each little concentrated battle only becomes 8 on 8 (give or take, the Grasslands area usually has a little more as it's a larger space).

Parking is tricky though!

What site is it?

Coms Site 3

That is, apart from getting bullshit everywhere!

The universe implodes

The universe implodes

NEVER try to cheat chrono - often they give you mag to test but even then they can just speed fill 6 or so 0.20's into most mags, so really don't ever think of trying at my local site

Found that shapeways do a replacement part, but the cheapest shipping is almost £15.

What the actual fuck. 😑

Massive, pendulous oofs.

What brand should we be avoiding?  I'm only seeing TM Type 89s.

It's a Tercel, which I think is just another rebranding of the Jing Gong or Both Elephant.

I don't think it's the brand itself necessarily, as I had one about ten years ago for a while and had no problems.

I think it's just age, it'd been sat in storage for a while according to the advert.

I wouldn't even have needed to open it up, but it was doing over 380fps when I got it. 🙃😅

lol - quick change spring

Yup. Absolutely gutted. A two hour drive each way, to boot. >_<

If it hadn't been made by Ares, I would have just done it myself; but from experience I'm highly skeptical of Ares' longevity and so I wanted to not invalidate the warranty or anything, but seeing as I had to pay regardless, I'd have been as well off doing it myself. Pah!

Still; I'll know for next time!

My ASG MK43 is a rebranded Ares, had 12,000 bb's roughly so far....never missed a beat and always feeds and as I've said before, nearly matches my TM recoil for range. My vz.58 also shoots well and hops .28 very well

Well it'll be staying completely stock until it eventually dies, so I'll see how long it lasts.

will prob be alright, even the dodgiest guns can't have a very high % of guns sold having issues

Apologies for the crap photo quality.

doesnt look that bad! when you an get a video of it please do it will be interesting !

*If* and when I do. It depends if he gets round to getting it back up & running; but there's not much to see.

It fires I *think* 5 shots at a time out to a 20/25m range.

I kind of feel a bit bad now; the kid got banned from the groups...oh dear how sad, never mind.

First, be smart from the very beginning. Pulverize all teeth, burn off fingerprints, and disfigure the face. Forcing a DNA test to establish identity (if it ever comes to that) might introduce the legal/forensic hurdle that saves your ass down the line. An unidentifiable body can, in a pinch, be dressed in thrift store clothes and dropped in a bad part of town where the police are less likely to question it. I don't reommend that disposal method, I'm just saying an easily identifiable...

Bury the body parts at least 2m underground, vertically, with a dead fox or something equivalent at least 2 feet above the body. Satellites use ground penetrating radar to look for 5-6ft horizontal shallow holes in the ground. And the fox is for if a police dog finds the body; investigators will find the animal and assume that's what the dog smelt (dogs are trained to find buried bodies, whatever the species)

Maybe he meant 50 feet...

You know, when you use an inferior unit for measures that relies on fuck all logic

Let's just say the head marshal hates snipers.

on a serious note, sites should figure out at what distance a heavy bb fired at 2.3J drops its energy to a "safe" level (say 1J). Your 20m bog standard MED was calculated on a 0.20g bb being fired at 500 fps, we all know that heavy bbs retain their energy for a longer time/distance and that nobody with at least one working brain cell would use 0.2s in a 2.3J gun.

No, he definitely meant metres. "I was in the army, I know distances!" 🤪

Like I say, I've no problem with sites running any rules they want, just the passing bullshit off as fact. 😂

@Skara i did run the math on it, a 2.5j shot with a 0.2gbb has 0.39j at 20m, with a 0.5g bb you're talking 1.27j, which lines up surprisingly well with a 1.3j limit for auto/non MED pews

@Lozart - It is if its a noname cheapo brand

I usually find, the cheaper the PSU, the more likely it is to spike and wipe out the HDD too. That's why I have a Corsair HX1050....

Like Lozart says: If your PSU goes then it usually takes at least the motherboard with it.

Might just be heat though. Clean them fans and radiators yearly, people. And don't use generic case fans (with a few exceptions) unless you like poor air flow.

new box/gin must have bore up cylinder, tbb and all perfect seals etc....

old box maybe worn seals, cyl volume ratio out etc.... so performed not so good

But 30 over limit or 50 increase from 1 box to other - jeez is quite a lot

you sure it was a m90 ?

That's what it says on the box!

Going to swap it all out into a quick change box so at least I won't need to disassemble it fully in future.

And no, just a standard cylinder!

I'd have liked to have shot my father with any of my airsoft guns. Seriously.

nevr skirmished, comes with 8 tatty hi caps and a smashed red dot

& Ex two tone. Will include 8000 bulldog BBs free.

The army one is compatible.

I think the problem in yours is that your outer barrel "chamber" is too short and that's why the prowin doesn't fit.

I'll give that a check and see. Cheers!

As a complete new guy with no friends that do it I have found it a little daunting but the folks on the forum have been fantastic. Mind you some people surprise me that they survived to adulthood...

this ^^

It's not ignorance that annoys me; there's always something you don't know after all.

It's when people are just so lazy & unwilling to expend the slightest bit of effort or thought and insist on having everything done for them that I get annoyed!

Months ago, yeah.

Does it matter how long ago it was? It was still a ridiculous price to start with...

That sort of pricing always makes me dubious if the seller will check for a defence.

If it is 2.8mm that's perfect. Can get them for 16p each in that case.

Component shop sell small ones for 16p a throw but they're not gold plated (although that's actually NOT an issue for motor connections BTW). They're 1/8" hence 2.8mm as SD said.

Cheers guys.

Really? Huh. I would have thought otherwise!

Ah well, I don't go there, so no great worry to me either way!

Cheers guys.

when i was under 18, you can get an over 18 to buy the pyro's off site for you and give them to you(like gifting a RIF, no money or services to be exchanged) and use them on, i think its the sale of them which is the issue as its selling pyrotechnics/fireworks to a minor, hence a lot of sites ban under 18's from "buying" pyros but not many specify the age to use!

Given issues of consent to the health and safety risk posed by pyro, I doubt it's a sales issue. It's much more likely to be an issue where an non-adult cannot waive responsibility for any injury liability from the adults/company responsible.
