This got done to death when that video first landed (it's quite old now). I don't think we need legislation to have full seal eyepro. Ultimately that incident happened because the mesh lower had pushed the eyepro out of place allowing a ricochet to get in and hit the guy in the eye. Granted it's harder to displace a set of goggles but it's not impossible.

This. A million times this.

I'm not opposed to being shot through the holes in pallets and stuff. I like the rule at The Mall on this - if the hole is smaller than an A4 sheet you can't poke your gun through it but if you can fire through it from 10ft away then that's fine (skill shotting). Stops people hosing down through a hole and potentially blind firing someone at close range.

I don't agree on ricochets. Granted a real ricochet will f*** you up just as well as a direct hit in many cases but in airsoft you could end up with someone deliberately aiming at the side of a tree or a wall to hit you with ricochets. As I say, you have to draw a line somewhere.

No more so than an 8.4V Nimh will. Trigger contacts are incredibly basic and are a high resistance component. It's worth fitting a hardwired mosfet to improve your trigger response so it may be worth looking into anyway as it will also extend the life of your trigger, but even on a 7.4v LiPo it's not going to burn out in less than a year unless you're very active in the sport and spam the semi auto a lot anyway.

Should be fine. MOSFET is really only necessary once you get up to 11.1V LiPo or if you're trying to improve performance.

Personally anything that hits the gun IN YOUR HAND is a weapon hit and doesn't count (weapon disabling etc is a whole different kettle of fish). Anything else that hits you, your kit or your helmet is a hit and it counts. Any sort of "oh you hit my body armour" gets ridiculous because then you'll have people arguing that THEY have a P90 so your body armour is irrelevant or a sniper arguing that a FAST helmet wouldn't stop a .50 BMG from his Barrett. You have to draw the line somewhere.

"Dildo Hard"? Oh...you made a funny.

Hush you.

SCARs are great. More people should have them. Ideally for the OP a SCAR-L CQC for the shorter barrel.

Look up matbest11x on YouTube

I see what you did there....

Could be welded trigger contacts but sounds more like a short circuit somewhere. Does the Bolt have a built in MOSFET?

Knackered trigger contacts.

Based on averge retail markups it costs around three times the price of a thing to build said thing from its own spares. For example if you buy a gun that retails at £100 it will most likely cost you around £300 to build the same gun from its own parts bought as spares at retail price. Now, taking into consideration the fact that if you were to build a gun from scratch you'd probably choose higher quality parts then you could easily be looking at 4-5 times the retail price of an off the shelf AEG. Probably more if you use Madbull parts. Of course there's then the issue of parts compatibility, fit, testing, reliability etc etc etc.

Not that I remember, still on the prison but better than the film script by a country mile.

Ares stopped making the UGL ages ago I'm afraid.

Have you ever read the novelisation of Alien 3? Due to the timescales involved in publishing the book it is actually based on the original script that got canned. It is SOOOOOO much better than the film! I liked Prometheus but I think a lot of people decide it would be the immediate prequel to Alien and it just isn't. That's coming (eventually) but Prometheus just isn't it.

Neill blomkamp is doing alien 5 as a sequel to aliens (ignoring 3&4). Ridley Scott is doing a sequel to Prometheus which will continue its timeline. Scott has suggested that he wants at least a couple more Prometheus films before he marries up the narrative with the alien films.

Yes. It will most likely have made the rubber swell out of shape. That's why everyone said not to do it. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though and I'm sure we've all done worse.

There's a single point mount on the buffer tube at the back of the receiver.

How many shots you get before the pressure drops is dependent on the ambient temperature, the material the gun is made of and whether or not it has decent gas efficiency. With the temperature dropping I'd suggest one of the Nuprol gases designed for cooler weather.

We all knew there would be pulse rifles. Obviously. Now with added RIS A photo posted by Brownsnout (@neillblomkamp) on Oct 15, 2015 at 11:44am PDT

I had this discussion on FB a week or so ago. The HELMET is designed to withstand impact, the visor isn't. Bizarrely there is no impact test required to meet the EC marking regulation for motorcycle visors. It's all about scratch resistance and visibility. The bigger issue is, as you say the fact that they're hot and sweaty and heavy.

Don't spray silicone on the bucking when you put it on.
