  1. One of my buddies has one and I've had to work on it. Decent guns until they break and then there's a bunch of proprietary parts that make life a bit complicated. They only really like their own hop unit and the gearbox is shaped in such a way that they only really fit their gears (which isn't entirely an issue as they are pretty tough). Some programmable mosfets won't fit/work because of the way the gearbox is. The pistol grip can be a bit fragile so make sure not to screw it in too hard if you have to take it off, the PTS EPG is a very good replacement though.
  2. He's done it on guns with standard gearboxes but not a Krytac P90.
  3. Snake brushes are plastic coated because they have to go around bends. Now, unless your barrel is more fucked than any cleaning rod will fix as long as the diameter of the brush stem is less than the bore of the barrel it won't come into contact with the barrel surface anyway. Or literally just use a bore snake for a .22 rifle.
  4. All plastics are polymers, not all polymers are plastics (DNA for example is a polymer). As @Sewdhull mentioned some manufacturers started using "polymer" instead of plastic because of the negative associations people have with plastics in terms of durability. The plastic that Glock uses is a trade secret but most people seem to think it's either DuPont Zytel or something very similar which is just plastic reinforced with glass fibre. Some airsoft manufacturers haver followed suit and started using glass reinforced plastics after ABS proved to be less than ideal for receivers (old TM M4's for example) and picked up on the use of "polymer" as a marketing differentiator because the vast unwashed masses neither understand the difference or care because they're led to believe that "polymer is better than plastic" when it's actually "glass fibre reinforced nylon is better than ABS". As to @TheFull9's point, I very much doubt that "influencers" understand what they're saying as most of the time they're just repeating what the marketing blurb says, so at best they're perpetuating a lack of understanding and at worst misleading buyers. That said, the market will support itself at the lowest common denominator so is it really the manufactures/influencers who are at fault or the buying public for just not making themselves aware?
  5. Technically, technically, polymer and plastic are not the same thing. That said, all the bits of airsoft guns that aren't metal or wood are very definitely plastic and the people that say their polymer gun is betterer can indeed get fucked.
  6. It's definitely CCW (being Tokyo Marui and all). Seeing as they designed the flash hider to be reversible I'd be amazed if it's threadlocked on. Sounds to me more like it's cross threaded!
  7. Looks more like the Russian arctic stuff to me The urban camo stuff that OP has is near enough, maybe a bit too much grey but we're not looking for an exact match!
  8. I get that, and I know there are products on the market that work that way but surely coming from the tank into a manifold and then two separate regulators must be cheaper than having three regulators? You're basically talking about a lump of metal with three holes in it!
  9. Different to, different from and even different than are all fine as far as the Oxford Living Dictionary is concerned. "Different than" of course will immediately single one out for ridicule as being rather American.
  10. Worth a look here: https://www.femmefataleairsoft.co.uk/search?q=plate+carrier The LBX 0300S seems to be a decent choice.
  11. Surely you could go tank > Manifold > Regs > Lines? Why would you need an additional regulator for the tank?
  12. Pretty sure it has something to do with the whole "made in Russia" thing...
  13. It's a real shame you can't get the old Mordor Tac Sunrise suit any more. They were great.
  14. The programmer was seen as a step forward! The trigger/fire selector thing came first in programmable mosfets (my own SCAR L has a BTC Chimera in it and that's how you program it) so being able to have a box with lights and clear selections was a bonus. Bit like the Programming card for the Gate Warfet.
  15. Ahhh... Rogue Spear. Those were the days. Preferred Raven Shield personally but yeah, good times.
  16. Don't think so. I've had mine for years and I got them second hand from a buddy. Maybe it's just a specific brand?
  17. I've used the double mag high caps, they're OK. The dummy bullet slide on the second mag can be a bit sketchy and the winder goes front to back (where most go back to front) so that can catch you out. Otherwise, yeah good.
  18. You know what MOA is, right? 5 MOA is 5" at 100yards. I very much doubt any standard AEG would do much better than 25 MOA!
