My current bolt action rifles. First is 490fps, the small one is 340.

The A&K neodym motor has insanely strong magnets, so it's easy to tell. However I don't like them due to the very poor rpm.

Yep, the first batch. Unfortunately it's a big batch, because the Chinese factory sent testers to retailers everywhere in the world and those were unbelievably great, so everyone ordered a lot of it. Then they sent those crappy ones. My sources are a webshop that mainly sells BBs and an other airsoft shop owner. BB king, Nuprol, Rockets and a couple of small brands are the rebrands of these.

I sometimes answer "Any plans for the weekend?" with "Yes, I'm going to shoot people." Then after that awkward moment I add "... only the ones trying to shoot me." And then I add "it's something like paintball."

No need for a macho name because airsoft is not a macho thing. We like it and we think it's a cool thing but the rest of the world sees it as cool as driving model trains or tabletop rpg. Calling it mega death strike 3000 won't change the fact that it is playing soldiers.

I had one with the rail mounting but the top of it looked the same. Only the bottom third of the glass was usable. If the red dot was above it, it became a big, blurry spot that didn't even stay on target. I hope they fixed it since then.

If that's an Element red dot, you will regret that decision.

Thanks. Any link to the actual grenade? Or the name? I read the blogpost and it seems to be a good alternative. How sturdy is it? I'm not a grenade man but it would be useful once in a while. If it survives about 100 uses, then I would get one.

£100? I was looking at this one too. I have not heard anything bad about it, but I find hard to believe the 300fps from an AEP. However it is said to be 300 everywhere and the polish shops chrono the guns themselves. It's on my list.

Edgi trigger units are 55 degree ones. They say it's just as good as a 90 degree one but on the sniper forum people generally disagree with that. Their (or his?) barrel is the best. People usually go with Action Army hopup unit, a proper barrel (like EDGI) and a 90 degree trigger + piston: PDI or Action Army, but there are quite a few out there.

Too bad it's not the FPS that counts.

Think of it this way. You run a field with 2 days milsim events, with serious players, ongoing ops, etc. Then a guy - probably very young - emails you if he can join you with his nerf gun. He says he is very serious about it, even painted it green. Try airgun ranges or clubs IMO.

Nope. But please do a short review after. Thanks.

I joinded a squad on a milsim game. We saw two enemy squads and they saw us too. They took cover in bushes and ditches. Then the sqad leader ordered us to do a frontal attack. This was our "cover". I couldn't believe it so I took a photo while staying behind. Another disappointment is skirmishing in the UK. It's just paintballing with airsoft guns.

Blue streak is my closest site and I saw the press-ups a few times. It is never meant and taken in a bad way or humiliation.

Here is all there is to know about airsoft sniping: http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/

As long as we make him buy a G&G combat machine.

I haven't been on a two day game that would actually be two full game days. The first day is okay, the night is so-so, but the next day is absolutely crap. People are tired and many of them have just gone home.

Sniper thing and depends on the BB too. I washed my Madbull 0.40s but didn't make a noticeable difference.

"His" sniper upgrade kit is from EDGI but more expensive too than ordering directly.

Exactly.

I didn't say every HPA user is like that. But there are HPA and gas users who do that. If you can change how much air is used for a shot then you can basically adjust the joule creep. Gas users have joule creep too but because they get about 30 BB in a magazine, it's not that annoying.

One other reason we feel they hit harder because they do hit harder. We are chronoing with 0.20 but with heavy BBs HPA can do ridiculous joule creep and HPA users use 0.28+. Same with gas guns. If you would chrono with 0.28 you would still get around 349 fps and that's about 410 with 0.20. Yes, a 40 rps short burst of 410 fps does hurt more. Yes, there are sane HPA/gas users too, but until the sites chrono for energy with the BB used there will be players who see the current chrono rules as opportunity to f*ck the system. Personally I don't care about them on the field. As soon as I hear someone using a sewing machine, I just avoid frontal assault. Not that I do that anyway. But I see that as unfair advantage against the newer players, especially rentals. It is a bad message to them.

Hi Raggedy_man, I play too occasionally to be a proper team member anywhere but if you drop me a PM when you have a game date then I would gladly join you sometimes. Usually I go alone or with a mate but he just became a father so I don't think he will be very active. I was looking at Finmere airsoft, maybe I'll check that out too. Cheers

I would not even pay for props that just sit there to look at. Or some vehicles to see pass by, maybe ride once.
