No, just one of those faces! There's always a fair degree of tramadol & pregabalin on board though, so that doesn't help

^^Yeah Ted, I got that - I was just giving my opinion, because even if it wasn't a stupid thing to go off, and although the CYMA may well be better, the CYMA almost certainly sounds worse!

When I saw that in my email, having forgotten the gist of the thread, I was thinking, "Eh? Star Trek?"

TBH, after having seen them both in the field, I wouldn't be surprised if the CYMA is a better gun than the G&G, so long as you don't take it apart, based on range and accuracy. But I honestly can't imagine the pot metal and plastic clunk inspiring much confidence

You can't see my 19" of hair because it's pony-tailed up. He's got the full lip-ridge effect going on too, but mine is firmly under military discipline... Not!

Yeah, and use some kind of barrel accessory to cover the join - like a slim gas block, one of those bits with the tiny loop for an AK cleaning rod, a bayonet lug (maybe filed down), or just a barrel mount with a rail or loop.

My Moveffort makes it into posterity:

I can sell you a G36K outer barrel, if you like. Not sure how much I'd want for it. I'll have a look around for comparisons if you're interested.

I 'kin love this track

That vid you worked from is a corker, mate! I mean good job for a first go and all that, but bloody hell, the one you were working from produces far more smoke than those commercial coloured ones we get. I wonder whether anyone would allow us to use them on their site? First instinct is no, but they don't explode, so you never know...

I'm sure you could twat Chuck Norris. I know I could. Eeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! No, not for me. Maybe vegetable suet... or margarine and wax? What weights did you use?

What's in it, Geoff? Potassium Nitrate & Sugar?

^^Yeah, and you could still get a light on one side and a laser on the other! My hole.

Thanks mate I'm planning to remodel the interior of the pistol grip anyway, so yeah that's a possibility. I don't know how I missed it when I was on hobbyking myself. I got 1 of these: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=6786 which obviously will not fit in the original battery space, but it will fit in the grip and with space for Deans, 16AWG & a MOSFET. Are you going to FET yours up? I was thinking: http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/gate-electronics-mosfet-switch-picossr I have one in my AKS-74U and it was an obvious improvement for trigger response. That said, Phatima packed up last time out and I haven't had time to dismantle her. I don't think the FET is responsible, but the 1st one I ever tried did something not that dissimilar to this fail, so I'm not buying, or recommending, another PicoSSR until I'm sure. Edit: I'd rather use Turnigy batteries than that Zippy ting...

@two_zero: that's horrible.

Still waiting for my 800mAh one for my Skorpion. Now I'm away from home for a while so that's that for a while. I should have ordered 2. Can I get a linky to the ones you ordered, Sp00n pls?

I suspect you're right James, but I promise you, in the hand they don't inspire connfidence @all! 120m/s is only 394FPS too; that extra 30m/s may make all the difference when it comes to resisting scratches. I don't want to have to dismantle my 551 and cut a new protector everytime it gets hit. Easy enough for my torch b/c the bezel unscrews, but the sight will need a semi-permanent bodge solution. BTW, before anyone suggests it, I know you can buy them ready made for Eotechs - got one. It's shit!

Looks ok on my phone, but then again so does Cher... Just received some 3M safety glasses to cut up for optic protection - £1.67 not bad if they actually work. They're supposed to be able to withstand a 0.86g 6mm BB @120m/s but they feel like my CO2 pistol will put a dink in the lens. Have to wait a while for a test though cos I'm away from home again.

In and out undetected... up the bum?

Ur so shit.

Reverse ninja!

We call that a Northern Ireland Chest Rig, because NI was the theatre it was introduced for. That one looks to be in good condition. So many of them got trashed on exercises.

I haven't got another sleeve handy, mate, and nothing I feel inclined to cut one off @mo either... I'll keep an eye out though.

That cock'n'balls shaped BB bag I mentioned earlier is my solution to a few problems with those bags ppl make for fleabay. The main one is that a soft bag is fuck all use for pouring BB's b/c wherever you hold it with one hand one end is hanging down - either the bottle neck 'spout' making a bid for freedom, or the bag holding the BB's below so they aren't pouring. You can just about wrangle a handful inside the bag, but it's not as quick and easy as you want if you're doing it in the field under fire/taking time when your team need you. Most hi cap mags or speedloaders have a hatch that is too small to pour straight into from a bottle neck, but if you constrict a BB container spout much more than that the BB's jam up against themselves so then you have to shake it, making a noise and taking yonks as they only pour a few more before jamming again. Best bet is to hold the mag/speadloader in one hand with the crook of your thumb wrapped around the opening acting as a funnel, which allows you to pour straight out of a bottle neck without any bother. But a bottle rattles, hence using a bag, right? And a bag is awkward to pour from... How about both? More of the bottle than just the neck & lid so it adds a bit of structure to the bag which makes it easy to pour from, sort of a scoop shape with the bottle cut diagonally from the shoulder and whatever size/shape of bag you like/can sew underneath that. To stop it rattling I used that thin white packing foam wrap stuff cut to fit exactly and glued to the inside of the bottle. I then glued the outside of the bottle to the inside of an old Norje sleeve and stitched through the bottle and cloth to make sure. I would say it's the dog's bollocks, but you can see that it's actually the donkey's cock and bollocks That shape came about purely by accident because I wanted the bottom to have the same footprint as a Crusader cup, so it would fit neatly into a PLCE canteen pouch. So I turned the cup upside down and drew round it, added a bit for the seam and sewed it. Obviously using a sleeve gives it a foreskin, but it's the simplest way to go about it - a sleeve is already exactly the shape you need to fit a bottle into. Tip: be careful not to over-tighten the lid - it's easily done and it makes the top disc pop off the threaded part of the lid!
