  1. But mandatory chrono wouldn't stop you doing this either.
  2. Bush here. Move. It's very hard to hit a moving target at range. Use cover even if you don't see a threat. Communicate. If someone was hit then - after respawn - tell people about it. See someone get hit? Don't go and stand at the exact same spot. When you do know where the sniper is: tell others, then move quickly from cover to cover, not straight towards him and move within MED while laying down cover fire. It's not like in computer games where the sniper is far away with a nice clear view of the whole field. We are most likely in a position where we can sometimes spot a part of someone, we are laying in an awkward position, goggles fogging up because of the hot ghillie, or not seeing much because of the mesh goggles, struggling with the gun - it never works as we want - calculating wind, range, and always hitting that single blade of grass that throws off the BB. Well within the range of an average AEG too.
  3. Weaker gas? 144a might work if you get this power with green gas.
  4. 3/4 cylinder is fine. No need to overthink it.
  5. Yeah, it's a plastic outer barrel held by three tiny screws to a plastic frame. It's not suitable to hold a whole frontend. These kinds of frontends should be free float, as on M4s. Maybe try to build a rigid frame by connecting the top rails of the stock and the frontend with a very long metal rail riser.
  6. According to my observations, you need to be a big enough twat to be eligible to use them.
  7. I don't think he buys stuff anymore and SWIT gives him many custom guns to try and promo, probably paying him to do so (which is fair, that's how advertising works). And swit most probably makes their stuff to be field legal.
  8. I used to run an upgraded Bar-10 (vsr clone) for some years before switching to Striker AS-02. My Striker has less range, but quite accurate and with a straight pull bolt I made for it it's lovely. I'm really enjoying it much more than the Bar-10. I advise you to not to run an AEG and a sniper rifle at the same time. Sniping is a different play style and if done correctly, there's no need for an AEG. It's way too cumbersome to carry both. I did that a couple of times until I got confident enough with my sniping.
  9. Read the manual. I'm pretty sure, based on your writing, you haven't wind up the mag enough.
  10. Wearing team armbands on one or both arms? We need context.
  11. My tip is to not to get the glass bed. Get an aluminium one and stick a 0.3mm PEI sheet on it. That stuff is brilliant. Sand it once thoroughly with fine sandpaper.
  12. They don't need to check. Importing is your responsibility (and offence), not the seller's.
  13. I agree that it is convenient to glue/smooth with acetone, but this guy is confirming what I've also found when printing ABS for airsoft.
  14. Why? PLA is stronger, just don't leave in the sun in a closed car, which you probably shouldn't do to any guns.
  15. Don't mind me, I'm a woodland guy. But. The main problem I have with these kinds of sites that they become quite boring after a few times. Or if they are built to be more variable, then they are just some OSB walls which looks shit. Varying objectives to make people focus on different parts of the site is useful though - to an extent.
  16. According to my extensive research (first hit on google) https://www.amazon.com/Chrome-Steel-Ball-Bearings-G25-25/dp/B01AX6VTFU 6mm steel ball weighs .88g To use that weight, the gun needs to be quite powerful, over the firearm limits, to be able to put a reasonable backspin on it, IMO. The other problem is that steel doesn't deform, it transfers all of the energy upon impact. Think of Newton's cradle (pic). Plastic BBs deform, even shatter upon impact that uses up a lot of its energy. There were clear plastic Bioval BBs available until banned, long time ago. They were very rigid and they could shatter windshields and windows, even with their low weight, low speed. I don't know, but I think a gold ball is harder than a BB and of course it doesn't shatter, but plastic deforms quite a lot.
  17. Is that spring hooked onto it at all? I don't think it is, but the pic is a bit too dark to see properly.
  18. Very nice looking kit. Except for the stock, that looks a bit flimsy. There are many clever details on it, it shows that you've put a lot of work and thoughts in this.
  19. I've been wearing super cheap eyepro since day 1 and never regretted it, but I do my research on them. You don't have to buy the expensive brands, but do get good ones. If you don't know what makes them good, then buy proven expensive ones.
  20. If it's an AGM Mp001 you are talking about then just do the world a favour and burn it with fire. Its absolute garbage, probably the worst airsoft rifle ever made.
  21. You have good memory @Lozart. My one had holes in the front handguard, mimicking the south african one and the small piece of outer barrel between the flash hider and the front was shorter.
  22. The Striker's cylinder and piston is straight to bin unfortunately.
