  1. It's one of my local sites.

     

    It can get rather overcrowded, especially in summer.

    The village can be a bit of a nightmare, and have far too many people for the size of it.

     

    It's probably the most popular of the local sites, which will inevitably attract a proportionate number of younger players. Most are fine, but there's always some that will be a bit over the top, as it were. (Not just younger players though, tbf).

     

    I've not normally found the games to be too confusing though, they lay it out well enough in the brief and are usually pretty simple affairs most of the time, same goes for the respawns and objectives.

     

    If in doubt, there's usually a marshal nearby who'll be able to tell you where to go, or will be acting as, or rolling the spawn points on if applicable.

     

    There's not normally that much of the site that's overgrown. The only place that springs to mind is the northeast part of the ridge surrounding the village area, and that's only really going to be bad around the summer, when most plants tend to get overgrown! ?

     

    As to marshal numbers, I guess it can vary, but as it's not a large site, there's usually ample numbers near the action or objectives at least, I've never had to walk far to find someone should I need one.

     

    Summer months are usually peak silly-times, as everyone turns out for the good weather.

    I'd recommend going either in the quieter months, or on one of the occasional Saturday games. These are normally lower numbers, and seem to work better for the size and design of the site.

  2. Just treated myself to a boneyard CYMA SVD that Patrol Base were selling.

     

    It was marked as good condition, except for issues with the magazine catch.

    It won't lock in when you insert a mag, as it should, but if you push the catch and engage it manually then it locks in fine.

     

    I'm hoping it might just require a bit of filing in order to fix, and then I'm going to be looking at getting the outer barrel shortened to a more practical length.

    I already have one, and it's lovely, but obviously with the long barrel it suffers from voluming problems on heavier ammo. Dropping it down to around a 509mm barrel should hopefully be okay.

  3. Okay, so I eventually managed to get the gearbox and barrel out but it involved going in a back-asswards way.

     

    I had to slide the front end forward as much as possible, and take the gearbox out.

     

    Then I could slide the hop & barrel out to the rear.

     

    Even Witt that, I still see no way of getting access to the stock catch!

    What a faff for such a simple task!

  4. As the title says, I'm having trouble stripping mine down.

    I bought it purely out of curiosity as it's dirt cheap, and after getting the M4 PDW they also do & being pleasantly surprised on performance, despite its plasticy cheapness.

     

     

    It seems to be mostly based on the old Marui style design which I've had experience of for 2 decades now and I thought would be a doddle.

     

    However, the one issue I'm having is removing the front section (hop, outer barrel etc.) From the body.

    The catch for the side-folding stock seems to be part of the barrel assembly and not the lower receiver as on other AKs I've used before.

     

    So when I try and slide the front end out to separate the two halves, the stock catch will stop you doing so.

     

    Unless I'm being completely dense (a strong possibility) I can't see any way to remove the stock catch prior to this to allow it to slide out.

    I can't remove it from inside, above, below or even by trying to get in the hole for the catch itself and it's got me stumped, as there obviously has to be a way to do it.

     

    Has anyone had experience with these before? (They've not been around that long afaik, and they're not exactly seen as cool so I imagine not many people will have bothered tbh).

     

    Photos will come later, as soon as I can, but there's not really much to show unfortunately.

  5. 1. Keep your empty mags with you unless you're a millionaire.

    You'll need them to reload! (It's not Hollywood).

     

    2. Generally yes, but you may have limitations when it comes to snipers or DMRs, depending on your site.

    FPS rules will apply, so don't try and use a hot gun.

     

    3. Usually via RIS rails and similar, will depend on what gun and attachments specifically.

     

    4. I'll leave that for someone more southern.

     

    5. Depends on the site.

  6. Yes, I replaced the whole of the cylinder internals, as I use 9mm springs, not 7mm.

     

    Standard piston will probably be okay if you keep it stock (mine was about 270fps out the box) but once you put a higher powered spring in, then you'll need a better, stronger one.

     

    T10 and t11 were both identical internally, at least on mine.

    VCRA Section 38 does state ‘real firearm’, but does not exclude unreal / sci fi firearms etc.  With 38.7a covering an actual real firearm, but 38.7b the ‘appearance of a category of firearms’

     

    If someone sees it and thinks it is real then it meets the VCRA definition of a RIF unless it gets covered as an IF by the design age, colour or size

     

    (Star Wars wasn’t the best example as their blasters are real firearms with extra things - Sterling SMG, Mauser, MG34 etc, but others could be those from Aliens etc which are ‘unique’ sci fi guns but still tend to have a basis on real designs … the pulse rifle being part Spas shotgun in a shroud)

     

    The underlying solution is of course to bag them in public and never find out what the law thinks it is

    Meaning of “realistic imitation firearm”

    38

    (1)In sections 36 and 37 “realistic imitation firearm” means an imitation firearm which—

    (a)has an appearance that is so realistic as to make it indistinguishable, for all practical purposes, from a real firearm; and

    (b)is neither a de-activated firearm nor itself an antique.

    (2)For the purposes of this section, an imitation firearm is not (except by virtue of subsection (3)(b)) to be regarded as distinguishable from a real firearm for any practical purpose if it could be so distinguished only—

    (a)by an expert;

    (b)on a close examination; or

    (c)as a result of an attempt to load or to fire it.

    (3)In determining for the purposes of this section whether an imitation firearm is distinguishable from a real firearm—

    (a)the matters that must be taken into account include any differences between the size, shape and principal colour of the imitation firearm and the size, shape and colour in which the real firearm is manufactured; and

    (b)the imitation is to be regarded as distinguishable if its size, shape or principal colour is unrealistic for a real firearm.

     


     

     

     

    38.7

    In this section—

    • colour” is to be construed in accordance with subsection (9);

    • de-activated firearm” means an imitation firearm that consists in something which—

      (a)

      was a firearm; but

      (b)

      has been so rendered incapable of discharging a shot, bullet or other missile as no longer to be a firearm;

    • real firearm” means—

      (a)

      a firearm of an actual make or model of modern firearm (whether existing or discontinued); or

      (b)

      something falling within a description which could be used for identifying, by reference to their appearance, the firearms falling within a category of actual modern firearms which, even though they include firearms of different makes or models (whether existing or discontinued) or both, all have the same or a similar appearance.

    TBF, the pulse rifle is just a Thompson in a body kit.

  8. If you're wanting to keep it under 350/1.13J, would a better question not simply be "How do I get the most accuracy and consistency out of my gun"?

     

    You can use any normal AEG, just make it perform well, and then never use full automatic.

    Then it'll be usable in your non-DMR DMR role, but simply have it depend on your ability & skills, as getting rid of semi won't give you any material advantage if you're keeping it at standard AEG levels.
