Is that 360 FPS standard across all magazines?
There was a 1j bolt kit for these iirc, I'm on my phone but will double check later.
There was one, but neither GHK nor G&G make the gearbox or spare parts for these any more and haven't done for over a year. It had to be ordered direct from Samoon, and they don't stock them any more due to them being discontinued.
-
not even via courier? I had them sent to me :s
Nope - reason why a lot of stores actually state on their websites, collection only, on blanks.

Also be aware that if you include the primers, you won't be able to post it.

It's worth checking with your local site as to what they class as a DMR, 2 of the 4 sites I play at will only accept a DMR if it is a 'real' DMR, ie M14 etc, it stops people taking a short M4/MP5 locking it to semi, hiking the fps to 425, fitting a mosfet and an 11.1 and spamming the shite out of it
Wish more sites would do this - Worst i've seen is an MP5K being claimed as one. >.>

since opening the gun up to fiddle with the blow back unit / nozzle would be a massive pain in the ass.
There were mentions of porting the back of the unit a while back on one of the US forums - having actually tried it, its feasible, but yes, a complete pain in the ass - And not an exact science, I ended with a unit doing 270fps on propane, but then you've got cycling issues beyond belief.
yea, cant find any npas for G&Gs. in terms of wide bore barrels, what should I get for a short G&G CM 16 Raider GBB?
PDI 6.08mm // Orga Magnus 6.13 or 6.23mm. AEG type barrel. Length wise 233mm. Regardless of which route you go, you are looking at £75-100 of inner barrel in a £100 rifle. Having spent a lot of time, money and effort testing various widebores in various platforms, your best bet is likely to be an Orga MagnusHD 233mm length, 6.13mm diameter - which are roughly £75-90 dependent on the source, but that will bring you to about 330fps.
IMHO, sell the gun on, the extra cost to polish a turd just isn't worth it.

....or GBBR. (Surprised Ed didn't jump on this er train...
)NPAS or equiv for fps regulation.
Wider bore barrel (6.08mm or larger) + ER-Hop + EM Nub for consistency at range.
Mechanically locked semi auto is a piece of cake on most systems.

How long ago did you last have a go with Unity? I know the first time round it was limited at best. Now it's actually quite expansive and their forums very active and helpful.
Less than a month ago, client stipulated its use (a design agency who have no clue how to write a brief of whats actually needed, let alone understand a line of the code), despite me giving many, many better options for their app.
-
Well it does, Unity has a much more central location for its documentation and tutorials, as well as themselves publishing the tutorials. You stand at much better stead getting started with them as everything you need to know is easily presented to you to learn.
Of course, they'd have to learn something, but then I think that's a given!
Nope, documentation is limited at best. And the stuff they do have is also quite a lot of the time in solutions which are badly optimised.

I'm a software developer by trade (for the moment at least, until I change careers), and while not in C++, i have heard a lot of hobby game developers are shying away from it. I'd reccomend looking at something like Unity3D, which is an engine and development kit designed for games development and caters to the hobbyist community very well. You also have an active community of like minded people there to draw on if you get stuck.
That doesn't exactly solve anything, as it still requires you to have an in depth knowledge of C#/JS to be able to make anything.
-
You need to understand the fundamentals of the language before you start trying to apply it, otherwise you won't get very far. I suggest you look into learning some basic C++ before you go as far as trying to make a game in it.

Is it just me or is the Scar venting at the end?
Did sound like it.

And you were saying about stuff being overpriced eh?
Adam3088: The only reason most Pro's use certain peripherals is because their sponsors will require them to use the products given to them by said sponsors, doesn't mean they're any good.
In the case of razer, they are just too far behind the curve now, their products are just rehashed crap with whatever year it is at time of launch tacked onto the box, that they've been releasing for the past decade.
As for keyboards - the best mechanical keyboards still are and probably always will be the IBM Model M's - Modern mech's are cheap and tacky in comparison, amusing as an M can be had for a whopping £25 (I got mine for free, out of a recycling skip, courtesy of my dad over a decade ago) if you know where to look, when the supposedly cheap razer one is almost 4 times that.

Jack is NOT a bourbon. Jack Daniels is a Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey.
It is classified as a bourbon regardless of whether Jack Daniels want to call it that or not. US Trade commission even class it as a straight bourbon. Because that is what it is.
Oxford English Dictionary definition of Bourbon - A kind of american whisky distilled from maize and rye. Jack's own description of what it is? The SAME thing. Ergo, Bourbon.
I drink real Whisky, usually from Island or Islay Malts, don't particularly get on with Highland or Lowland (pretty boring flavour wise) My current choice is the SMWS 3.231 - "This little piggy went to market.." 24 year Islay Single Cask - Delish

I know that if I did that at univercity on a assignment I would be done for plagiarism?
Referencing, young padawan. Perfectly allowed to use libraries and plugins, as long as you attribute the owner's details at the top of the files or similar - Most plugins have said info included anywho.
Sod writing frameworks from scratch for every new project. That would be tedious beyond belief.

Would be cheaper to just buy it from the UK, i know they're here as there was an unboxing of one on Legion's Facebook Group a few hours ago.

Very nice indeed. Have you considered starting up a small business from it? I'd definitely throw some money in it due to my dying desire to get my M14 stock in Multicam or MARPAT.
I suspect that with every airsofter and their dog setting up hydro dipping businesses, that the market is already far to saturated for that to be a viable option

and custom guns that arent over priced
And I'd say look at Jcheeseright's comment directly above yours as to why they are "overpriced".
-
Ok cheers for the comments, its good to get first hand feedback, what were the worst offending parts? I take it there is no parts commonality with WE or GHK then?
End of the day I've bought one as its a cheap gun to add to my collection and don't plan on using it massively, if it dies it would be annoying obviously but not the end of the world. However any first hand knowledge on minimizing wear / damage would be good to know?
SRC is entirely proprietary, nozzle is incredibly fragile. Have actually just found a replacement nozzle for it, but at £60 for a piece of flimsy plastic. Yeah...no.
The trigger control group is all cheap pot metal (where the hell did they find stuff that bad?) so it has a very limited life. The example I worked on the hammer had snapped. Even Stock WE's don't do that.
The bolt carrier group was deformed to the point where it had to be removed with a few taps from a mallet.
Hop unit...well there wasn't much left. Genuinely surprised he wasn't hurling flecks of pot metal at people instead of bb's. Disintegrated comes to mind.

My god someone else bought one. Do not buy them. Want an AK GBBR, get a WE or a GHK.
Was given one to fix a few weeks back -
Owner claimed no more than 50 mags had been through it - Internals were pulverized.
Go to get spare parts to replace pretty much everything inside - No one stocks them, go to a few separate distributors, who incidentally don't stock them. Go to SRC direct....."Sorry we don't make spares yet" This gun has been out for over 3 years, yet they've not made any spares?
Hand gun back to a miffed owner, who now has nothing but a wall hanger.

Even the manufacturer thinks they are crap. Because they are crap.
