Sitting Duck

Yeah - the classic: " I'm just looking after them for a friend.... " - that probably won't quite cut it

But next you open a gun bag expecting it to be empty and find a dozen pair of her shoes... The game is up - hang on where did she get the money.... More important - where the f*ck have my other guns got to ???

Depends on a few or number of factors.... Depends on gun: The Noes or not really worth it - or avoid if possible Bulldog 500A1 - forget it unless you are a sad bastid and love a big challenge for $hits n giggles SRC - Sportsline's - depends some dragon's have a plastic box, most have metal box - but 1 piece hop (SRC answer - nah not really - maybe a little but only when stuff breaks but ffs don't go nutz) BBGuns4less - Krinkov bright orange AK plastic box - see SRC Dragon, can work but still nah Cyma's 5xx range: M4 - OK probably best cheapo gun out there sub £100 AK - the top battery dust cover is plastic and will require care or metal one (tbh if poss buy the slightly more expensive 028 range or others - another £10or so well spent imho) Better but more expensive Starter's: Cyma's - the slightly better ones on offer, JG D-Boys blah blah blah (£100 to say £150 or so) G&G's - M4's nuff said but perhaps avoid the daft etu ones and just get something old skool that upgrades ok ICS - another nice one You get the idea... NEXT - who is going to do the work/upgrades ??? Yourself - as long as you some basic common sense the why not ? even as a large learning curve then yeah go for it especially if it is f*cked or semi f*cked (what have you got to lose) A shop or " Tech " and I use the term loosely coz there a few that may not be worthy of that term This will cost so you need to use a good one with proven track record or reviews Time is never free so this cost factor will have to be considered as well as the big question: " HOW FAR DO YOU GO ? " or " WHERE DO YOU START & WHERE DO YOU STOP ? " PRICE OF PARTS - let alone who fits it all: Gearbox upgrades can vary from say £10 to oooh £100+ if you replace all plus motor/mosfet etc.... Hop-Barrel-Bucking can vary from £10 to £50 or more On average say £50 - £75 might be average starting point but it is hard to quantify but half of this might be needed at some point with just general wear & tear or a part failing The issue comes from when you start/stop if box is open then replace/upgrade that too (before you know it that original budget might be looking to double for example) The other factor is down to the owner - it is their gun after all.... Whatever you do to a Raider it will still be a Raider or on the outside it will appear to be Does this bother the owner - if not then no worries If you have a G&G 18k motor fitted to most Carbine/Raiders and some others then that is $hit for upgrades If you have the chrome blue "powerful motor" - this is better and might be in CM18's FireHawk's and maybe some others The orange efrit neodym motor in some others like predator's are quite good Why does this matter - well a new SHS motor is £30 so that could go elsewhere if not needed right now (can always replace later but if going nutz with 13:1 gears then you might want a good motor & then maybe mosfet) All of this adds up not just in money for parts but a very costly issue is time time not just in fitting but trouble shooting any issues also - it can really mount up (if you was paying somebody then either just repair/replace or go as nutz as you feel you want to but in one go perhaps) Then things is - everybody & every gun will be vary on what they perceive is worth doing It is hard to quantify what the level of nutz is, but I feel the manufacturers need to rethink their spec If I was buying a gun over £200 -well deffo over £250 I would strongly expect it to come with: a mosfet, AoE corrected, Deans etc.... Now I know Krytac/Alizzard was saying they can't use deans & can't use china copy deans but surely... (Stop calling me Shirley) Surely they could use Star power connectors: but hey ho - there ya go my quick rough short thoughts - pah when have I ever given a brief quick response it is not easy to give a simple one-for-all answer - depends on gun/budget/owner themselves etc....

Think the more important upgrades are the owner of the gun.... With me - deffo could improve my skill level - a LOT but I have an medium chill level I think (most times) with others - upgrade to a more chilled level - sometimes see players with a higher stress level than their guns plus there is a few downgrades where some have a high w@nker level on the field - I'm not perfect btw (this w@nker factor is normally more annoying tbh) The dick factor though is much more dangerous and this should be removed or reduced as much as possible (dicks are a possible risk to all especially the main player's health if others administer their own downgrades) ahhh wtf - when Mrs Duck says I'm immature ( I know you are ner ner ne ne ner nahh I mutter under my breath ) Great - I don't feel so worried about being an old fart playing with toy guns still As been said - your gun so do what ya want

anything as long as it goes..... I really wanted to get me one of these bad boys in my youthful years though: Ahhhh god bless good ol' Viz

Sparing a thought for the people of Enniskillen 29 years ago today 08-11-1987 screw the US Elections.... after hearing "She moved through the fair" & the tragic events on Remembrance Sunday an outstanding but haunting masterpiece was created.... and it is a belter but here it is live - brrrr sends chills down my spine recorded track or live ps - not getting into politics or rights/wrongs but a kicking tune with a sad story woven into its creation peace x x x

Alpha Eco Wire 16awg - 6716 to be exact..... yeah better than stock and a touch better than silver low resistance 2.03mm external - actual wire is just under 1.4mm width or csa thingy hmmmm might have got the 14awg 6717 @ 2.44mm ext but could have been a bit tight or difficult to shape in pistol grips on motor etc..... the Alpha Eco wire 16awg - thin insulation but very firm - lot less flexible than my my insane mofo silicone wire I have used - 2.65mm ext & 1.65mm Unsure if all rebuilds will use this Alpha wire but will use it for sure in any G&G rebuilds - about £23:50 on fleabay shipped Also some pure silicone to try out the AoE mod: http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/43-longrange-aegs/9062-guide-cylinder-head-damper-remold-bye-bye-sorbo.html don't know how great it will turn out or if it will last - but had sorbo shred in high speed builds even with neoprene protecting it
