Oh dear - and on the following day NIST reported a pair of active and exploitable vulnerabilities on that version as well, with scores of 9 and 10 respectively. I wouldn't be signing up to anything still running that version, as it's bye bye personal details.

Should more sites weigh the bbs during chrono?
GiantKiwi replied to JVacation's topic in General Discussion
It was at 2.0 in September 2023 - extremely miffed I never got up to their original site as that looked brilliant, the 2.0 site was decidedly meh, with this situation overshadowing it. Made it so none of us of a near 20 strong group who went that time, have returned since. I contemplated going again to give it another shot, but as i'm predominantly using systems with finicky PITA to adjust hop + a pretty much 2.5 hour drive each way, i've not really got the want to try. I'd heard great things about the other CQB site over that side of Scotland, but the decidedly ill informed reasoning for an arbritrary reason for significant hindrance to those on HPA tanks + the aforementioned hop messing + a more than 3 hour drive, makes me look at the Newcastle site as the only real CQB option for me now without getting on a plane or train. -

For a start, Bakelite for AK's is not actually bakelite, its AG-S4 which is a formaldehyde based resin and doesn't have asbestos in it - you still want to be wearing a respirator whilst doing anything with it though. Secondly, the ultimate resource for anything WE AK is on the HRC discord in the WE AK channel here: https://discord.com/channels/531031882880647170/533655031048568832

People trying to buy RIF's asking a whole bunch of erronious questions and requesting videos of it functioning, then when push comes to shove and they're asked for proof of defence "Oh, I don't have one"...
-
It's not the essence of the game, but at the same time, if they really want to do it, i'm not going to get in a tizz about it - if they really want to listen to the drivel we put out on comms, have at it.

Should more sites weigh the bbs during chrono?
GiantKiwi replied to JVacation's topic in General Discussion
Doesn't work there either. My one and only visit, had multiple people running Saiga's through chrono on the site 0.2's, then using way above the permitted 0.25's on joule creep, resulting in bb's punching through facemasks at 20ft. One of the players was a marshal, and didn't get spot checked once all day despite multiple complaints. Meanwhile, anyone who made a complaint spent the rest of the day getting spot checked every 15 minutes, despite many of us being well under the limit. -
Well he could, if he was in fact a retailer ?

Still laughing at his Scar H advert - by the time mine has landed from KICBB (and paid HMRC & parcelfarce their pound of flesh), it'll have costed me less than £300 new for the V3, rather than the now defunct V2 he is selling. Even if I went and added absolutely everything to it that he's listed (which I wouldn't as the big ticket hop/barrel combo is trash), it still comes in at less than he's asking.
-
Definitely - they're not unobtanium, and new should be looking at around £200-225 for both items to make this.

There is no out of the box semi only MWS, so you'll have to modify the selector to remove the cam that engages the auto sear. 2J might be a stretch, even with a 400mm inner barrel. You will probably need to replace the TM nozzle with a Guns Modify 3.5, use Guns Modify PMags along with that, as combined they have a better seal and thus higher output. Obviously, you'll also want to get an NPAS if you somehow end up going over so you can adjust the output - Jaeger Precision or FEDA, almost all others are flat out junk. You'll also probably need to look at a moving weight buffer and stronger buffer spring to eliminate bolt bounce, which will happen, as the TM's especially are not designed to be run with that high of an output. You'll want an archwick PH+ adjuster for better adjustability with a laylax hop arm to be able to even lift 0.4's. There is one aspect of TM's that is entirely incompatible with AIPSC - the trigger is by far and away the vaguest of any GBBR, break and reset are barely discernable. It can be somewhat rectified by replacing the trigger box with an adjustable one like toxicant makes, but they're also unobtanium at the moment.

Land Warrior used to help with checks if you phoned them, don't know if they still do as its been about 5 years since I last did it.
-
Magnum's used to be made in Northampton, 14 years ago they shifted manufacturing to China and the quality fell off a cliff.

Apple watch - not worried about it getting shot out, as its taken many a hit at this point without having it happen - if it does, its insured for accidental damage anyway.

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
GiantKiwi replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
After the revelation that the Salvo Precision MCX's have copied the toxicant nozzle design, not the MWS spec nozzle have abandoned that idea and gone a different way. So i've instead ordered: WE Scar H GBB V3 Ratech Plastic Magnetic NPAS nozzle for Scar AMG Winter Hammer Spring for V3 WE -
Yes I have one. It's trash. It's double stack bb channel, so regularly jams - I had to print a single stack insert to make it work consistently - it requires 145psi to run, where airtac one can run at 100psi. Basically don't bother.
-
Unfortunately not, the platforms don't tend to care - only impact is usually dilution of efforts.
-
Could be, but he would need a UK citizen to apply for it and then have that person authorise them to use it with a notarised letter.
-
He's made it very easy by not knowing how to mount a scope in rings for a start. The markings are backwards. It's not an iphone flipped photo problem, as the scope is pointed the same direction as most marketing material, ocular lens to the left, objective to the right. If ocular lens is in front of you, and the objective away from you, the "crossfire ii" markings should be on the left hand side with a vortex logo on the left side opposite where the windage turret is, in this example its reversed and is missing very obvious markings across the top of the ocular housing.
-
Oh look, a fake vortex scope, bet he thinks that is real and contributing to the hyper inflated price.
-
Oh, he's posted it again further inflating the price. It's a V2 WE GBB which is now end of life, you can buy the V3 Scar H with 3 extra mags brand new for around £420 after shipping and import charges are taken into account from KIC. Has 'semi locked' it because its running at 420fps, but also claims it has a RATech Aluminium NPAS nozzle in it - so I wouldn't trust it to be actually semi locked if he can't even figure out how to twiddle a screw to reduce said fps. Aluminium Nozzle and the TNT hop unit only belong in one place anyway, the bin, as they're significantly worse than the original parts, so they do not add value at all. He's also irreperably damaged the bolt to make the charging handle non-reciprocating, as it is not possible to make that reversible. So, even if you discount the things he will let you option out, he's asking for an £100 premium over new for a fucked Scar H.
-
Or anyone with common sense, just buys the Double Eagle one for exactly half the price, new with warranty.
-
Nope. It's designed for the significantly heavier BCG used in the T8/CGS system, it'll put extra unnecessary tension into the FCG and will undoubtedly cause the bolt catch to stop working.
