  1. I found that if I shout loud and tell people what to do instead of asking, they tend to listen. Just point at them and tell them what to do. Be specific about who you are giving the order, and about what to do. Instead of "we need cover" you can say "Want some action? We need to move this mortar, move with us and you cover that way, you cover that way...".
  2. Welcome. Last time I visited Elite Action Games, Dorking. It's a really good woodland site. How good is the Maidenhead site?
  3. I'm from Hungary and our saying goes, eat your carrot so you can whistle. That doesn't help me in the tunnels though.

    Shim Help

    The bushings turning with the gears is bad. It will wear the gearbox because the bushings are steel and the GB is pot metal. Glue the bushings in with loctite or superglue.
  5. By not locking properly do you mean not lock at all, or it has a bit of resistance but it doesn't lock the piston back? The latter is called slam firing and means the piston sear is worn.

    It has to spin freely. If you have bushings, 2-3 spins, if you have bearings, then 5-10 full spins.
  7. Are you sure that's a pin? The TM mags have a blowoff valve somwhere there. Both TM and STTI mags can be taken apart. I've done both. http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=88524&highlight=Coachster
  8. Yes. Membership is a good defence.
  9. In two years the O rings can go dry. I would take it apart and give every rubber part a good silicone bath. edit: SeniorSpaz ninja'd me...
  10. As Sitting Duck said, it can go in flames when charging / overcharging or physical damage. It should be fine.
  11. One dead cell in a 11.1 gives you the 7.4 you wanted. sry
  12. There can be big differences between chronos. So if the fps is different on an other field, it's not the gun.
  13. Not really. Basic chinese guns - like umarex - cleaned and re-shimmed are pretty much on par performance-wise with more expensive ones. I always mention that the most accurate out of box gun, after cleaning, I ever held was a Boyi G36c and I've held quite a lot of guns. Aesthetically cheaper ones are usually not that great, but there are exceptions too. On wear and break downs it doesn't matter if it's cheap or middle range. A G&P will break down sooner than a chinese one in general. But that's only statistics. A specific gun will break down randomly. High end ones, like Marui do work fine for years most of the time. So if you get a cheaper AEG, clean it, get a red dot and use proper BBs, you will get the performance on par with any gun. From that point it is your skills that need upgrading for some years. When you have the experience, you can be more effective with the crappiest gun ever than most of the players.
  14. It's not the BBs doing the wear to the gun. The only way it can affect it is that a lighter BB will exit the barrel sooner, and if the piston hits the cylinder head after the BB exits, and with heavier BBs it would hit it before it exits, then it will cause more wear. So there is a possibility that lighter BBs will cause more wear in a very specific setup.
  15. Siting Duck is right. That piston didn't return in time. Maybe it didn't move free enough, or the o ring had a bit of resistance moving the other way, or it's simply too heavy with bearing inside, etc. Short stroking a piston takes away a lot of fps. The ports' size on the cylinder doesn't affect the compression. Well, bigger ports let the compression build up quicker, but that's already nominal on the normal ports too.
  16. There are a lot of factors affeting the fps. Even with perfect airseal. If there is bearing on the spring guide or not, bearing or weight on the piston head or not, etc. You can get very different fps from the same spring in different guns. Especially with a used and possibly up/downgraded weapon. The only thing you can do is to try different ones. :/
  17. Only use the spring tension release at the end of the day. M100 or M110 should get around that fps depending how good the airseal is. Or cut about 2 coils off the current spring.
  18. If you have any specific question I might be able to help you. I did some arduino coding.
  19. I'm not sure about the M4 flash hider but on some other, similar flash hiders it's a wire cutter for barbed wire. It keeps the wire in position to shoot it.
  20. Increasing the barrel length is also only for the looks.
  21. Customs check it. I had my own gear "imported" and the package has been opened, and the letter with my ukara number on it was missing when it got here.

  23. A longer barrel won't bring you accuracy. What BBs do you use? Use 0.28g high quality BBs, that's where you get the accuracy, if the gun is OK otherwise. If you don't measure somehow how your gun shoots you won't know if it shoots fine or not. If the only measurement is that you get shot more than you shoot others that's not the gun. That's your skills and the gun. Between rounds find a suitable target, shoot it with your gun (using proper BBs), then borrow the guns of others and shoot the same target a few times. This way you can see if it's the gun indeed.
  24. This plate has the big adjusting screw, it doesn't need that intermediate part.
