Harsh. But fair.

Handy they were formed after the war, eh?

Almost certainly the cold.

Fair enough, I've only ever been to the London one and the security are pretty switched on at ExCel.

Seems there are some types of gun props you ARE allowed: But not airsoft.

According to MCM's own website airsoft guns are banned from all their events so... https://www.mcmcomiccon.com/london/en-us/costume-weapons-props-rules.html Maybe the local security haven't been kept in the loop.

If only there was some kind of alternative way for Cosplayers to cover themselves...

I currently have four guns I've never skirmished (yet) and loads more bits and knick knacks that I've bought because they seemed like a good idea, tried once or twice and then consigned to the drawer of doom (final resting place of three different flip to side magnifiers for example).

You mean like the MP9, right? I'm with you on this. I can see 80% of these things being HPA converted and fitted with a drum mag.

Totally fine.

Hit the nail on the head there. Let's face it, that's how Nuprol/Vorsk/Raven et al have been in business for as long as they have.

There's cream for that.

Acro C-2 (it's right there on the side)

I have no doubt that they draw high currents, I was more suggesting that the load is less peaky.

Where are you finding decent LiFe stick packs? They were all the rage for airsoft a few years back but most places only seem to have one or two choices these days (or are you repurposing RC packs?)

You know the Manta is a suppressor COVER, right?

My go-to? A Platatac Peacekeeper MK1. Can carry 6 7.62 mags or 9 5.56 ones plus pyro, water, the whole 9 yards. Not cheap though. Also - you haven't told us what you use, what sort of games you play etc.

Instructions unclear, dick stuck in suppressor cover.

Unfortunately most airsofters wouldn't know a Newton-metre if it stole all their apples. While motors don't work in C they do respond differently when the supply current is governing their performance; if a battery can't supply enough current quickly enough then performance will suffer in an AEG because that initial spin up is where the motor will spend a lot of its time. It's less relevant in things like drones or RC planes because once you get the rotor spinning and you've overcome that moment of inertia then the motor can settle into a fairly consistent running current. Once you reach that "steady" state then the capacity calculations etc make more sense because your load behaves more like the graphs that battery manufacturers like to throw around. Even when you run an AEG in constant full auto, the load is never stable. Every cycle the gears have to compress the spring and then it releases so the load comes off the motor. The current draw is never smooth and the battery's ability to deliver a lot of current quickly becomes more important than the mAh rating as long as it is sufficiently high.

Undoubtedly, though I do question their marketing spiel that a low C, high capacity battery is equivalent to a smaller high C battery in this application.

I've gone back to standard LiPo. Any performance benefit they claim is slim at best, the chemistry of the cells doesn't lend itself to repeated short bursts either. The robustness is nice and the lack of self discharge is good but not worth the money they charge.

I've got a couple of Titans that are 7000mAh.

You're right, but it's what the battery manufacturers do when they say that a battery is a "nominal" capacity. For example the one in that graph is a nominal 2500mAh, which is at the point where charge would reach zero.

They're doing an A4 so I'd say it's only a matter of time (given what we were discussing about their penchant for rinse and repeat with the MWS)
