  6. Mmmm 2 hours to go and will Boris lock us down ???

  7. So I was working yesterday, surveying a building.

    This little guy showed up, my instrument has a built in laser pointer. (visible in the picture, right next to Mr. Cat)

    Could've been a 1h job, it ended up being 2 hours :D

  8. Oh no theres a wizard on the forum again...

  9. Isn't it lovely when your gun shoots lasers until you hit the field, then shots go everywhere but where you aim.

     

    Nonetheless it got me a couple of otherwise impossible hits :D

      May I ask what loadout you was using today

       

      fires lasers then shoots all over the place...

       

      Hmmm Stormtrooper jokes inbound...

       

      IT's not my fault that i can't shoot straight its the blaster's fault - sad  stormtrooper | Meme Generator

      actually they might already be using it perhaps

  17. If anyone orders an InvaderGear UBACS, order a size UP. Extra Large my arse 😅

  18. I fucking love when your gun is fucking spot on at home (even after fucking extensive testing), but then on the field it does whatever the fuck it wants.

     

    Fuck off, really..

      If your gun works at home perfectly

      but screws up on site

       

      make your own CQB site in your house

      never have an issue with your gun again

       

      might have buy a new TV, mirrors, lights etc...

      but your gun will thank you for it

      If the other gears are OK then just try replacing the sector only

      & see how it rolls/spins/meshes perhaps

       

      Std sectors are usually compatible - just if they mesh smoothly

      If the bevel/spur are OK, shimmed OK & meshing nicely

      eg: bevel to pinion, then just look to change sector

      (or as little as possible)

       

      Also some have said the std SA gears are not that robust

      BUT I don't own one or a SA set myself

       

      Yes AB is all well & good but heat can increase

      on a ferrite motor, the motor continues to spin - a lot

      Where as on a neodym motor, the strong magnets slow th

       motor much quicker than a ferrite motor

       

      On "the bench" the ferrite motor spins a lot longer

      The neodym motor slows much much much quicker

      In reality though the spring starting to compress slows them both

      But I feel the neodym motor overspins slightly less in the box

      So on a neodym motor AB is not needed perhaps

       

      A clip showing AB on & the AB off with a neodym motor

       

       

      YES with AB off the motor spins more

      BUT no where as much as std ferrite motor does

      This is a SHS High Speed so it is spinning faster

      But doesn't carry on spinning like a std motor would

       

      Now as said, ON THE BENCH

      In a gun, in actual use, the spring would slow a weak ferrite easily

      So it is debatable just how big the overspin difference really is

      between neodym/ferrite motors in a working gun perhaps

       

      But I feel neodym motors only need very very slight/light AB

      to stop them and even without AB they still overspin less

       

      AB imho should be used to accurately stop the cycle on pre-cock

      or when trying prevent double firing when a gun is cycling too quickly

       

      When people use AB to prevent double firing it can be a sign of sticking switch, worn COL or most commonly just taking the piss rof

       

      If your gun does really need AB (for set pre-cocking)

      then don't or at least try not use it, or only very soft AB

       

      I don't use AB, so any motor heat is purely down to the build itself

      (than reversing the polarity at the motor)

       

      TLDR again - yeah turn off AB if you can

      Just the spur/step/middle gear usually...

       

      Bevel has 10 teeth still

      (Usually)

      Spur is very very slightly different with an extra tooth or something

       

      18:1 is actually 18.65:1 or something

       

      16:1 is actually 17.25:1 in most cases

      Think a VFC 16:1 set/spur comes out at 16.5:1, but most 16:1's are 17:25:1

       

      It is just the spur that is slightly different

       

      You can use the 16:1 spur for a SR25 keeping the 19 tooth sector

      or use a 16:1 spur in a DSG setup

      Yeah people use the bevel in the set to ensure smooth compatibility, but essentially they are the same 10 tooth bevels in 12, 13, 16 & 18:1 sets

       

      Well unless they contain the 9 or 8 tooth bevel type of thing - it's the same bevel, just spur alters in a 16:1 set.

      16:1 Sector is same or compatible with 18:1 sectors

       

      The rof doesn't alter much, coz the actual ratio doesn't change that much @ 17.25:1 instead of say 16.5:1 you was expecting.

       

      TLDR

       

      Yeah it is all compatible

      Bummer, 22rps should have been OK

       

      Stock piston must have been made from DairyLea or quite old & worn if still original stock one

       

      Yeah magnet on sector for Area ECU sensor

      If using 16:1 set, the sectors are same in 16 & 18:1 sets

       

      How was the game playing with the cheaters/cheetah's ???

      Told you it was fucked (if 16rps on 11.1v)

       

      Commutator badly worn with a deep dip in it, you'd struggle to recut

      Brushes, barely anything left - maybe even on second set ???

      Copper/carbon everywhere below motor in grip - ok you cleaned it up maybe

      But that motor was very worn

       

      Either commutator/brushes gave it up

      Or

      A winding burnt out

       

      But by the 11.1v performance you was getting it sounded like it was on its last legs/windings

  24. Mmmkay.

    Bought a Guarder SP90 for the striker, it chronoes at 1.05J on a Guarder SP100.

    One would say "good, it'll drop to 0.9something", right?

    Nope. 0.6J...

    Decided to nip a coil off the SP100, power goes up to almost 1.1J...

    Another coil off, 1.08..

    A third of the spring is now in pieces and finally the bloody thing is below 1J....
