But doesn't love me. Suddenly feeling very rejected.

I've ordered from this place before and had a good experience: https://gpairsoft-uk.com/eshop/product/gp-storm-pistol-grip-with-heat-sink-end-set-for-m4-m16-aeg-black-gp858b/

I got it from ProAct but WGC et al. have it as it's a standard VFC part these days. Even has the LSO trades! https://www.proactstore.com/products/vfc-ls-stowaway2-grip-m4-gbb

We're such basic bitches.

Treated myself to something classic. Stuck some '90s era accessories on. Now to point it at people.

Not with the VFC on the market

No need to hunt for G&P NOS anymore! I got one a few months back, even has the Lone Star markings. https://www.wgcshop.com/products/vfc-vf9-grp-m82g-bk01

My friend - take this from someone who runs chrono at a site as a marshal: a chrono cannot 'measure' the joules of an airsoft gun. It cannot be used to detect someone lying about the weight of their BBs. All a chrono does is measure the speed of the BB - it does not know the weight of the projectile or the energy it is carrying. Inputting the weight into some chronos allows it to calculate the joules based on the input weight of the projectile. If the weight input is incorrect, the subsequent joules calculation will be incorrect. If a gun chronos at 310fps and the user claims to be running 0.25g BBs, the chrono will say the RIF is firing at 1.12j. If they are actually using 0.3g BBs, the chrono will still read 310fps and it will still say it is firing at 1.12j when in reality its more like 1.3j.

I think someone has just used a public forum to realise they don’t know how a chrono works.

The time I went, I was really surprised by this - I think it was the first time I'd been to a site where the chrono was effectively voluntary (or more voluntary than other sites). However as Colin said it didn't seem to be a problem. There was a solid queue of people waiting to use them and I never really got a whiff of anything funny while I was there.

Sorry yes what I meant was there's nothing to prevent me (or anyone), other than the threat of being caught. Ultimately, it's very very difficult to completely prevent people from cheating if they really want to. You just have to do everything you can to make it not worth it.

In truth nothing is foolproof. I've been to places that give you ammo, tag your RIF etc but there would be nothing stopping me turning up an NPAS or similar in the field. I played first time round about 20 years ago, then got back into it recently, and I've never been spot-checked in the field. The only thing I've ever seen that was lairy was at DogTag last summer: a guy chronoed as a DMR (he was right in front of me in the queue), then in the field I clocked he was firing full-auto. I told a marshall, they spoke to him and reported back to me that he had turned off the semi-lock on his mosfet. They sent him home instantly. I do some marshalling at a site in the SE when I'm free and often run the chrono. Do the same checks in the chrono, tag the RIFS (and regs for HPA) then eyeball everyone out of the safezone to make sure everything is marked up. When I go out into the gaming area, I take a chrono out in my pocket and I have spot-checked people. I've yet to come across anyone doing anything silly like adjusting power post-chrono.

Perfectly legimate tactic.

Eyyy you finally got it!
