Sitting Duck

Duck jnr just got a WE G18 gen 4 and is over the moon with it (roughly put - must be good if he likes it)

the self adhesive neoprene is a strong tacky adhesive and works well for a very quick fixing it is a sticky bastid to remove - fairy liquid & alcohol required to remove that crap for sandwich (did look for plain washers but I have those and know the size/hole is just right) the sorbothane - don't wast time/money on buying the self adhesive for a couple of quid extra it is $hit adhesive hence I listed the plain sorbo make sure you do a "peel" test on cylinder head's stock sorbo - one of them came apart on me and the whole block of rubber was flapping/locking up gearbox - it was stock pad that came away the neoprene was still stuck like $hit to blanket - them neoprene's on there own are fine as is for mild builds so just before fitting - I now do a peel test and if in doubt remove old stock neo pad and reglue it all with proper superglue that fuses these rubber bits together. Clean up cylinder head then key or scratch to ensure it all stays put when fixing it all to the cylinder head - sorted Sorbo is a bit crappy to cut as it squishes - did look into cutting tips.... some freeze it to harden it a little, others use a craft hole punch to get clean neat hole just make hole a smidge bigger as it reduces when it squishes down, top off with neoprene on top sorted - take ya time and it will be a straight forward piece of cake/sandwich etc....

bits n bobs this week included some clone B6 chargers (must get these clones calibrated - genuine ones are fine out of box) nearly bought a couple of cheap of old laptop psu's which should of worked @ £4:50 del http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-IBM-Lenovo-Thinkpad-08K8203-72W-16V-4-5A-Power-AC-Adapter-Laptop-Charger-/400423702601?hash=item5d3b1cd049 with lead and 2.5/5.5mm plug - sounds a bargain for £4:50 16v 4.5amp (yeah it should be 5amp but I don't wish to boost charge at 5c) anyway - ended up buying a lot of universal laptop chargers at about half that price so 4 clone B6's and 8 uni psu's - £57 delivered But HobbyKing (EU store - UK is more expensive btw) have genuine B6's at about £18 + shipping (psu still required) so that is a lot cheaper than many other places - alas saw that after I bought clones (4 for £40) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4pcs-IMax-B6-Digital-LCD-LiIon-LiPo-LiFe-NiMh-battery-Balance-Charger-UK-/200976394796?hash=item2ecb206a2c NOTE - these are clones, so read up about recalibrating them to maintain accuracy to prevent under/over charging next up - a few fire extinguishers for when I start using them

make up a sobo/neoprene sandwich....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SRM-TECH-SORBOTHANE-ISOLATING-DISCS-PACK-8-GREAT-VALUE-/331627752762?hash=item4d368ded3a http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Neoprene-Rubber-Penny-Washers-Adhesive-Backed-M4-M5-M6-M8-M10-M12-SN0001-/250981193606?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item801394491d on moderate builds a couple of neoprenes will suffice to simply correct AoE, will stick to stock cylinder head well (M4 - 20mm is the size you seek btw) BUT for higher 25rps or higher springs a proper sorbo sandwich is perhaps best to adsorb shock better you will have to make up the sandwich but have a top level of hard wearing neoprene as sorbo will break down you will also have to make a hole in the sorboathene disc - maybe a little larger than M4 - say 5mm hole (hole reduces in size as sorbo squishes under pressure/impact) if making up sorbo sandwich - clean off all self adhesive on neo pads with alcohol, remove stock neo maybe on cylinder head fuse the stuff together with proper super glue and it should all affix well to the head, slight cushion and AoE sorted (with sorbo - ensure you check AoE with spring in there as sorbo will compress from 3mm to 1.5mm under load) pretty sure it is 70d - heck ring/email them to confirm if you wish or there is some sorbo 70d sheets on fleabay but the sorbo discs are cut to about the right size already sorbathene isn't cheap but the above is what I recently started to use myself though tbh I ain't too bothered about re-doing the guns with just neoprene in there (a 5mm wall of neo is still better than a stock 2mm wall of neo imho) though just recently I started to use the sorbo sandwich (Subway is still way better and tastier but makes a mess in ya gun)

I think we would like to blame rental noobs and yup seen crazy crap like lifting masks in middle of game I could say a fair percentage are the younger players - perhaps young rental noobs But there is also some veterans or older players taking it way too seriously no way did that little 12yr old JBBG $hit take out me & my TM mofo gun little $hit was camping I'm not having that so close to objective..... But non-hit takers are not the biggest ar$eholes..... I think the gobby players abusing other younger team members, screaming & bitching then doing the same mouthing off to marshals when they pull them up looks a lot worse Seriously - You look real bell-ends, despite that some players/marshals may not be perfect either but causing a scene only makes it worse and in then end it is just a game with toy guns - nowt to stress out over that said - if I got a bit pumped up or had an internal hissy fit myself I'm sorry to anybody seeing me throw my dummy I think I've tried to mellow out a bit and see it as a "fun" sport rather than a "win" sport

Yup I'll admit to delayed reaction when pumped up Group of people screaming at me OK ffs I didn't recognise it in that split second coz I couldn't work out where it came from. A fortnight ago one bb must have grazed my top arm so much I called it but asked a marshal if he had hit tested me but said no, like I said I called it already and was obviously enemy just just grazed me to think it came from marshal on my left side. End of the day, don't take it too seriously or get too worked up about it all. Then you just call it even if unsure Which is the exactly what airsoft relies upon Don't get too stressed if you see a bb bounce of an enemy, just tell yourself they need a two hit handicap and go for the second shot, followed by the rest of you mag until the bastid calls it. Seriously, all sites the odd incident or dubious player(s) Kids rental or noobs usually but you do get the odd veteran from time to time. If it bothers you or gets too much and marshals do little then try another site coz numerous non-hit takers can really ruin game/fun or even a site's reputation I hopefully play as fair as possible hopefully just calling it at times that it might be rebound If I feel 2 shots that were most likely to be rebounds I call it just in case it was a direct hit I haven't seen Well that the way I think/play with my hand on heart

my mate Dave after he's eaten a green thai curry man that has some real punch - even he nearly vomits (soz ignore me but couldn't resist stupid silly comment)

that is one expensive bad ass - but hopefully a purchase that will hold its value better than any toy gun (just as well coz your toy gun budget is history - next loadout - overalls/bib & brace ???)

first read up on this: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/ in fact read up a bit on some the excellent guides in new players section - many answers & info pop along to a local site - they can test the gun's performance and you can get a chance to try it all out if you like see if you shed some light on make or even take a pic for us to guess the make/model (if its a PolarStar I'll give you £50 or swap you a proper B500A1 - just kidding) welcome sir - UK's best place for toy gun shooters peew peew peew

Akimbo ak74 dsg's Both with 1k mags screw ultra long range, wait a bit to get into range then unleash bb hell on earth.... Seriously nigh on any AEG could qualify for that if tweaked enough.

Guns come with fuses by default and they should perhaps continue with fuses or themal fuses especially for general/first builds On higher speed/load guns the old fashioned fuses act as a point of resistance on higher stress builds so a number of people do away with them - BUT it is not advised unless you know your gun and prepared for the risk I can't tell you or anybody else for that matter - the fuse is there as a safety/overload feature doing away with it is not highly recomended Some mosfets like the Firestorm is supposed to have a thermal fuse installed and should be fine to remove fuse if you wish Other fet's do not have thermal fuse The old fuse is on the positive wire anyway if it was on the negative wire - then it might be ideal to replace fuse with mosfet but fet runs on negative line plus a normal mosfet doesn't offer any protection against overload/short circuit etc.... so you may as well leave fuse as it is, splice into main negative line for mosfet and wire in a fet signal line from trigger to fet Hope this answers your question - ignore what some others do (I make a regular habit of busting stuff and can afford to replace broken cheap stuff)

on V3's fitting a fet doesn't require opening up box as wiring is external the negative wire that ran from battery to motor is cut and fet is wired into it (fet switches negative supply to complete the switching circuit) on the switch itself - 2 red leads one from battery and one to motor these two wires are joined BUT on 1 terminal of switch the spare unused terminal has a thinner wire running back to fet - the mosfet's signal wire In effect instead of switch positive and had a permanent negative supply like old stock setup you now have a permanent posi supply a switched posi signal wire to fet which will trigger the fet and turn on/switch the negative supply to complete circuit/run the motor NB - this is a very basic setup using existing wire with addition of just 1 thinner wire to signal to fet to switch on/off

Only my own personal opinion.... Rifle scope - nope it ain't a dmr TBB - sod madbull a zci one I'd rather buy if your fps is a little down - say 330 & site is 350 plus you aren't 101% with current performance then go for a modest tbb like zci - aprox £20-ish, fps should creep up a little say 15fps-ish different buckings can make a big difference especially if fitted good or badly fitted look to reduce any barrel wobble & that is all you can do unless you go to next stage of r-hop (which I haven't got into yet so can't advise) anything left over - get decent .25's one other thing you could consider is another hop and getting a longer tbb with a 4" barrel extension son's 416 has a 407 zci in it with a barrel extension the hop is optional but you "could" keep old 300mm barrel n hop then swap longer barrel/hop over in a minute with the outer extension for woodland swap back to shorter 300mm for indoor/cqb stuff ooh now you are confused what to consider

yeah I suppose - think it has about a 400-ish barrel but tbh a dmr would need a bit more work to hop & perhaps barrel 425-450fps is fine but need to make sure its flight is as true as possible (more than normal aeg as you can't shoot below 25 or 30m MED - which is gonna be crap if bb's are all over the place/dropping short from not so good hop) give it a go on dmr maybe but sooner or later you may have to investigate the main problem or improve upon stock hop for dmr etc....

2 bolts, 2 brass sleeves + 2 sprung lugs/bullets oooh dunno special order them mofo's £3 posted ??? - can just chuck 'em in a jiffy bag It came off the AKFrizzle 901c crappy double eagle krinkov bollox but them bits and the folding stock should be compatible (99% reckon it is probably made by Cyma or JG I would of thought) if ya want the rear folding stock butt bit - £5 total to cover bit more postage/parcel but those bits n pieces should fit on your cm stuff anyway £6 for everything in pic but the side-bars you probably won't need - you would have to removegearbox to remove & fit the bars it should work with just screws/sleeves/lugs etc..... you shouldn't need any of the 901c stock itself really worth a shot I'd say - but maybe look to get some loctite thread seal/glue to stop you losing them bits again if it all works ok

its China made overseen by HongKong Quality Control roughly translated - $hit - but a little bit better $hit http://www.aps-concept.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=4 Eh? - s/hand or where/how did you come by this.... it is £100 to £120 gun - pull the box out - which you probably need to do to fit fet I'll bet she fires on auto no problem out of gun if so then that would indicate the selector/linkage is an area for investigating fet fitting and checking selector can all be done without opening up box and gun can be quickly tested on V3's Some V3 switches can fail or require a little modification but semi ok but not full-auto deffo sounds like selector plate or mechanism needs a once over.... Don't know for 101% sure as nozzle n stuff might be different but worse possible case scenario I would say any other V3 AK box might fit in there as is (but you wouldn't have quick change spring but it "might" work on auto etc and get gun going again until you get aps box looked at)

To me it is a term I suppose you could use for timed based games unlimited respawn to attack defending mofo's with one life sprinting like f*ck - lambs to the slaughter, cut down, back to respawn run like etc...... a few bases to take control of in shortest total time etc........ This is the game type that I'm drenched in sweat and screaming at Doris, Mavis & Ethel back at spawn all talking about corned beef and their poxy loadout or their wonderful gun FFS - girls get ya ar$e's in gear, this is the few moments that my enthusiasm can mask my $hite skills and you lot are just chatting whilst collecting ya pensions.... (actually - I'm too old for this $hit - maybe they got the right idea but c'mon lets go for it first n chat later)

Arctic harpoon ??? that should stand up well to cold & wet/snow

uhhhhm erghh not sure - it in theory shouldn't but some places could get shitty about ANY modification work but then if worried you could always crimp a small tamiya back on maybe ????

obviously its gotta match/blend in a bit (a orange ex-2-tone would spoil the look of any mofo gun of course) but I've swapped grips and heard a dying cat inside the gun and thought yeah sod that idea back to old pistol grip But mofo guns should come with a decent mofo grip & stock - or it just spoils the excitement of getting her out box first time

to me - if it works ok & motor sits at correct angle can cram decent thickness of wires in there not too naff or uncomfortable then that will do me - don't matter on make or even the look most of time my hand is covering most of it

A&K box £30 - maybe £35 G&G motor - f*ck all as it probably a stock red motor 16,000rpm ferrite A&K motor - "might" be a neodym - look carefully at the A&K - two slits at top of case if you see silver magnets = neodym and hard to turn, if so £15 for neodym perhaps if it is black like G&G then it is a ferrite and worth f*ck all I say f*ck all but in fact peeps need to keep some old ferrites for spares eg: contacts/brushes even the armatures etc..... then if/when neodym motor dies - brushes or the windings in armature craps out you got spares or rebuild into a frankentorque motor

best you don't visit down under - pretty sure Airsoft is still banned in Australia New Zealand - think that is ok though

Sitting Duck's used (knackered) Used AEG's & breakers yard:

Got cheapo crap like that That "might" do the job..... Folding AK stock bits n bobs that could fit Didn't chime in earlier coz thought you was after bespoke m14 hop or something But 74 stuff might be able to use /help
