As they say in the briefing at my local site, if you've brought an impact grenade to a woodland site then you have the wrong tool for the job.
Personally I've always stuck with paper pyro anyway because it's more likely to go off and I can yeet the fuck out of it.

Yeah I had a feeling they were, thankfully airsoft ones are just printed on (it seems). The printing idea is a great shout, I might have to give it a tryI've done it before on custom paint stuff. If you can, put some clear lacquer over the letters to stop then scratching off!

The SEF markings are usually inset (moulded in) and then coloured but the font you'll need is https://www.1001fonts.com/alte-din-1451-mittelschrift-font.html
You can get water transfer paper that works in an inkjet printer and make your own (although the white will be an issue)

if your gun is travelling at 300 FPS, and your BB shoots 300 FPS, your BB will still be travelling at 300 FPS, because the speed of BB is constant regardless of frame of reference according to relativistic physics, it may look faster but it is experiencing time differently because of time dilation via Magnus effect applied by the hop up
What if it's on a treadmill?

It's not about momentum. It's energy. As you can see above they aren't the same.
0.2BB at 100m/s drag is X Newtons.
0.3BB at 85m/s drag is .72X N.
FDrag prop to v²
.2 v² is 10000
.3 v² is 7225 or .72 of 10000.
Drag (force) is directly proportional to the square of the speed, other variables are the same.
0.2BB acceleration is -Y ms²
0.3BB acceleration is -.48Y ms²
a prop to F
a prop to 1/m
.3BB has .72 of the FDrag of the .2
.3BB has 1.5 of the mass of the .2
.72/1.5 = .48 of the acceleration of the .2, a deceleration in this case.
Acceleration is directly proportional to the force on the BB (less on the .3), and inversely proportional to mass (more on the .3).
You can see that the decceleration is less than half for a .3 at the same energy than the .2 .
The .2 will slow to match the .3 velocity but even thenen the .3 will lose velocity slower because of its 1.5 times more mass.
Only when the FDrag on the .3 is 1.5 times the drag on the .2, about 1.25 times faster than the .2 will they deccelerate at the same rate.
I think
It IS about momentum.
AND energy and wind resistance and air density and temperature, atmospheric pressure, aerodynamics and gravity.

This is how my SR and my M14s are set up:
Stops you having to lean the gun and is quicker to get back on the scope when you need to.

The big issue with canted sights is that the hop will fire the BB off to the left if you lean the gun over.
That said, I have canted irons on my SR25k and I've had reasonable results with a canted Docter/RMR style sight too. Personally I run a Vector Optics Sphinx on the top of my LPVO and that works well.

No, I think I'll be back at it for a good while now... gotta justify all the money I'm spending😝.
I like my Bolle x1000 but they would be much better with a fan. I need a new lense though and Bolle have discontinued the spare, clear lenses. Having to look at the X800 etc now, or buy the yellow lense for £45! Will see whichever option is the more cost effective.
If you're going down the X800 route, look at the X810 instead. They're the newer model, I have a pair and they are really pretty good (even without a fan).

Look up AIPSC, see if there's any events near you.

Interesting information. Do you have a suggestion for the best setting for this feature?
Titans have an issue with cheaper/low TPA motors. They may have changed this with later firmwares as the Asters I have don't seem to suffer the same problems.
AB is best turned off if you can and use the bare minimum you actually need, but as far as the Titans go, use better motors (I replaced mine with an ASG Ultimate CNC 28000 and it's been fine ever since).

Good questions. It's a stock WE F226. I've no idea how it hops yet as my living room is only about 5 metres wide! Lol
Then I would say use what you already have, set the hop and see if it's good enough. Don't worry about what other people use because it may well not work the same for you.

As title really, which weight of bb is good for a gbbp? I'll be playing outdoor, mainly woodland, with some CQB too.
What pistol? Is it stock? Does it hop well? All these things have more effect than purely the BB weight and where you play.
Personally, I use 0.28 in my pistol because that's what I have in my AEGs (mostly). My TM HK45 with a crazy jet barrel and Maple Leaf hop flings them with remarkable range and accuracy. My standard M9A1 that I haven't even set the hop in yet....not so much.

I re shimmed, and it's the stock motor.
Think I've solved the issue, sensors were caked in grease, must have put too much on and it got thrown across the mosfet. Also crimped the motor connectors a little and it's not reading any motor issues either.
Feel rather thick now 🤣
We've all been there!
Just FYI, they're not as bad as they used to be but if you use a lot of AB the carbon build up in the motor can make the Aster (although more prevalent with the Titan) lose the motor again. They tend to prefer using higher TPA motors.
-
Two questions - did you re-shim it and what sort of motor is it?
Initial impressions are that the motor connector might be damaged or loose, so check that.
-
-
When you shimmed the gearbox, did you make sure that the sector gear cam is still reliably being seen by the Aster sensor? It may be a bit borderline.
-
What have you set up on the Aster? Is there precocking on semi?

Based on my little understanding, not all FPS (feet per second) levels are equal in airsoft. FPS determines the velocity at which a BB pellet is propelled from an airsoft gun. Different airsoft games and events may have specific FPS limits, and certain types of airsoft guns have different FPS ranges.
For example, most indoor CQB (Close Quarters Battle) fields have lower FPS limits (usually around 350 FPS) to ensure player safety in tighter environments. On the other hand, outdoor fields or long-range events may have higher FPS limits (such as 400-450 FPS) to accommodate for longer engagement distances.
Different countries and regions also have their own specific regulations regarding airsoft gun FPS limits. It's important to check and adhere to the specific rules and limits set by the governing bodies or organizations where you are playing airsoft.
I hope you find this helpful.
Thanks.Good bot!

Yeah I saw that, so it confirms it can come off. I’ve tried a heat gun but no luck, brute force also failed. It seems like the parts are all molded together but that’s illogical 😅I've got a couple like that, they're clearly made of assembled parts but just refuse to come apart.
-
According to this
the end cap should screw off. You may just have to apply some heat to the tube or just y'know....brute force.

I have a VZ58M long version that I bought as a bonyard project and needs a mosfet replacement, thing is Ares being Ares they love proprietary stuff and I can't find their mosfets anywhere in the uk, the Czech sites I have visited all don't shop to the UK so I am wondering this: would and V3 gearbox be it Ares or any other brand work in this gun? Or am I just out of luck? If I can't get it working that sucks but it was a freebie along with a compact VZ58 that works.
Thanks in advance.

They've always been very helpful when I've bought stuff direct!

If you just want a FAST style/opscore, of the cheap Chinese knock offs the FMA ones are definitely the better ones. They do have both dual sized (M/L, L/XL) ones and some REALLY cheap one size jobbers (avoid those). I have a "PJ" style FAST, a Maritime and a Team Wendy (all FMA) and they have been great. The PTS Flux is an officially licenced MTek copy and is better and more expensive than an FMA but if that's the style you want then it's a no-brainer.
