Sitting Duck

ebay:
 
component shop sell on there as well as cloud nine amongst others....
A popular make of lipo's is ZIPPY COMPACT - yellow batteries and are a tiny bit smaller
than same spec Turnigy ones - handy if space is limited/tight
if you have one or consider buying a digital vernier/caliper gauge - quick & accurate way
to measure batt/compartment/stock etc.... - no full blown metal - get a cheapo £4 one - fleabay
then you can make a more accurate decision on what model/type battery to get
 
main thing is charger - you can buy a cheap charger but will take much longer to charge
ffs - don't get a cheap $5 one from hong kong - some are friggin dangerous
a cheap charger can be about £10-£15 but get it from UK is my advice - if you gonna get into it
then consider a better charger at around £30+ perhaps
 
you can get a battery/charger for about £25 at a push or maybe 2 x batteries & cheapo charger for £40-£45
(aprox £15 each)
 
BUT FFS - DO NOT PUT IT CHARGING ON YOUR BED OR CARPET AND GO OUT !!!!!!!!!
 
LiPo's can be dangerous if they have "blown" but even so there is a slight risk so put them in a bag maybe
but bag or not - on a safe worktop and above all else........
 
KEEP AN EYE ON IT CHECKING THEM REGULARLY - seriously I may mess about but this is serious $hit
so don't just leave them for a hour or two - feel them if they get too warm/hot
just common sense really but there is a possible risk - not horror stories just being honest as I can

I think I'm ready now for pistol only cqb

Well I was thinking of getting an electric pistol but concerned about fps of Cyma's
So I sorted of created my very own secondary machine pistol so to speak but with high cap mag:
 

 
bought the testicle mag - a tiny bit of work but nothing major - runs well - F*ck yeah !!!!
needs new batteries to keep up but as a pistol - well it does weigh a little bit - lol
 
gotta refit stubby stock back on her but was just messing around - next door must love me
soz for small pic - can't be ar$ed to upload it to here n there n link n stuff just for my silly stuff
 
I am having trouble finding a holster for this pistol though ???

some cqb sites actually have a 328fps or 330fps limit - 100m/sec
coz cqb is just that less than 20ft engagement usually
and any decent site SHOULD chrono guns.....
 
no point having a powerful gun you can't use, and fps is just a basic starting guide
your site might be 350 but if you visit another indoor cqb it maybe a tad too hot
some decent 300fps can pi$$ all over badly setup 350fps
 
Tokyo Marui is a prime example

Xcortech 3200 from Helmetworld.

Was it a tan G&G and you sprayed it black using something like fishnet stockings ???
I just tore my favourite pair.....
 
 
WWWWOOPPPPSSSSS - wrong forum, thought I was on another site - lol
 
just kidding, ignore me - most people do or just plain cross the street to avoid me
 
 
Jeez - she didn't half give you a funny look
who - that bird that just walked past ???
No - Mother Nature

battery + charger - smart charger which prevents overcharging/cooking battery - both together £25
(probably nunchuck 8.4v battery)
 
you get 1k bb's i think - 450 mag, it ain't glow in dark orange
(could paint it but that is changing a Imitation Firearm IF - RIF Realistic one in eyes of law)
 
save rest of money and see how you go - no real need for pistol - may wanna spend on extra mag
or loadout kit - full face protection must be worn for under 18's at most sites
don't chance it - get a good one for your precious eyes
 
shame that gun had a great starter kit for £20 more - about £35 value but lately always out of stock
 
there is NO OTHER GUN to match it for price - ok no rails but trust me you won't need much else
if you can't hit something with that then you may as well just use a nerf gun
forget ultra zoom scope, torche, or laser - get out there and start shooting

stumped.......
 
spring looks in position - so it ain't that come out of alignment
can' think wtf could be doing this - it should just be a pin so it
shouldn't be catching - and it just a round bar pin.....
 
maybe ask somebody like samurai who knows a thing or two about gearbox ???

first computer ZX81 1kb base mem but did upgrade to wobbly 16kb ram pack
eventually got ZX80 whilst awaiting speccy delivery - jeez what a long wait
years later got microdrives & QL etc.....
 
Sadly flogged all my stuff when fell on harder times
 
first video game - before Atari VCS 2600 there was numerous Video games
way way overpriced to play tennis & basic shooting the big square dot on screen
some systems you could buy/build from places like Maplin before they hit the high street
 
The say the first so called arcade video game was by atari - breakout
and it was said they had to repair it in less than 24hrs of installing it
the coin box mechanism broke as it just couldn't handle the amount of cash
 
rest is history and I'm way too old for this $hit

well it ain't no dmr and is really for cqb but suppose also it has an advantage
in that it could be easier to shortcut through bushes easier than a big m16
getting caught up perhaps
 
looks sexy but friggin loud with flash hider but then it is not designed for long range
 
I've remove the stock and put on a fixed cheapo stubby so can take any battery
hate all that pi$$balling about with thin lipo stick
 
range wise not much less accurate than a normal stock m4 in same price range
bought it coz I liked the sexy black 8itch - didn't buy it to snipe with I bought it to
take her out and help take others out so to speak.....
 
despite being small and a fair bit of plastic not full metal she weighs a bit but I feel
just right to run with all day in the sun.....
 
I got an ICS clear sportsline and they kind of perform the same - maybe ICS a bit
more longer range accurate but c'mon the fire hawk just looks so sexy & bad ass

A&K M24!


First picture is everything I got excluding one bag of BBs (because it had a split in it) and the cleaning rod (unjamming end came off but I can fix)
Bought 4000 0.30g pellets and 6000 rounds of 0.20s.

I had vertigo for a few days once and unless people have experienced it they can't fully appreciate how debilitating it is so I really feel for you, hope the symptoms ease soon.

More info on hopup would be good please and note to oneself:
 
I'm gonna stay away from any sites in Exeter now you got your sniper set up real sweet

I would of thought pistol grip/motor area is main area for concern
 
many are sealed - some are vented/heatsink at bottom but that is a nice possible collection
point for water with a lovely bit of motor/electrics thrown in for good measure too......
 
you can tape up and/or apply some grease to terminals to prevent corrosion if you are that worried
but the most important thing to apply is common sense really.......
Most of it may be woodland - I don't know but not complete open fields perhaps, so you are not out
in wide open - also doubt if it really pi$$es down for too long will skirmish continue in a mud bath or
cetainly not wise to continue whilst a humid summer thunderstorm is kicking off.
presume you are in Ireland or N Scotland:
 
Weather Warning - Issued by the Met Office - Sunday 3rd August 2014

YELLOW WARNING of RAIN

An area of persistent and at times heavy rain will continue to move north across parts of northern England, Northern Ireland and much of Scotland.
Winds will become strong, with a risk of gales over coasts and hills.
The public should be aware of the risk of localised flooding and of disruption to transport.
 
Jeez strong winds or gales - that means ya BB's are gonna be way off target at times
pi$$ing down at times - yeah sounds fun
flooding/transport disruption - yeah nice journey home too
 
check it out in morning - look for cqb or man up and say wtf a little water never hurt anybody
 
best of luck

Just curious - how many posts do you have on other forum ???
 
Reason I ask is that you can be a feckin genius but if somebody with say 10 posts comes along and says
 
This is a better way/method/technique - they get crucified left right and centre
Most of this will kind of make sense but way way too often nearly all forums will
just assume how experienced you are just by your post count / date regged etc....
 
Always the way - many of us just judge a book by its cover/post count....
 
Problem is - say your regular forum is offline/server down you look around or land at another site
say after searching for a specific issue - you regged and answer a few noobie questions
then get ripped to $hit by somebody with their head so far up their own ar$e they can never see daylight again
 
I do things my way - not always the ultimate way but so far my way of doing some things works best for me
I do take onboard other people's methods and if I stumble I will consider trying other suggestions - thus I
hope to improve upon my own wisdom in most things I do
 
Sadly the world is full of narrow minded arrogant w a n k e r s who can't see that their way just might not be
the one and only way - or only their answer/theory is valid - to which I say:
 
The mind is like a flower - it works best when it is open
 
But in my head I still think to myself they are w a n k e r s

Interesting point sitting duck and I agree with you about new guys being too vocal. In this case I was just sharing the great results I've had with a hop up unit . But I suspect because I'm new on there the Mods don't have much time for me or my experiences. Such a shame

Uhmmm yeah - don't think I would of put it like that.....
maybe - "my dumb blonde girlfriend spilt some nail varnish remover....." perhaps
 
What's a guy doing with nail varnish remover - anyone remember Airplane II
 
William Shatner:
 
"What's a man doing with a bobby pin ???"

CHEWIE! Hand me those hydrospanners!

Just thought I would give an update on this incase anyone is in a similar situation, I went to gearofwar in Newtownabbey Northern Ireland and they said for £15 they could reduce my 1911 down to 328fps, without affecting hopup, accuracy and the blowback! He said about something being put in the barrel I think, it was a brief convo but I will give it a shot for the price, maybe will get some more details for you guys too

Well yesterday I did a little "tweaking" or grind/file away a bit....
 
I can afford to do this as it was a cheap $hitty CO2, and if I balls it
then I got spares & extra mag for the other same CO2 pistol
 
Looks a little rough but she is firing now at 330 - 340fps
I cut, and filed down a round groove in the hammer
there is now a semi circle groove aprox 2.5mm deep
1mm deep seemed to do nothing 425+
2mm deep started to drop a little - 385
2.5mm gets me to 340 ish - seen 355 once but most is 325 to 345
 
the pin/valve is not getting pushed so far in and so is not releasing so much burst
 
Will take some pics to show what I mean - but it is a BODGE FFS
 
Could of tried washers around valve but had trouble holding these in place
got the hump and thought - wtf lets grind the 8itch and finish with a small
circular/round file - like a half pipe guttering channel but is in line with pin
 
I do NOT suggest anybody does this on a nice decent pistol
 
This was a cheapo nasty £30 CO2 pistol (actually £27 delivered)
If I killed it by taking too much off and left with 100fps - $hit happens
at least I get a spare mag etc for other pistol
 
I strongly do not say this is a good way to do it
but now at least I should be able to use it as a backup/secondary
 
once it starts to drop a tiny bit - there is a very small margin
reckon it was about 0.5mm once she started to lose a tiny bit
so with that in mind you have gotta go very very carefully
 
As long as she stays about 300 - that will do me
still got other one - so will be intertesting to see
new mag & co2 cart in both - how many shots etc....
 
hoping to stay above 300-320fps and mag maybe 150 would be nice
 
 
 
OK - bit of an update......
 
fitted brand new ASG co2 cart and started testing this morning.....
got up to about 90 shots - mag holds 19 plus the odd dry fire when empty
it was early (6:30am and neighbours seemed to be getting pi$$ed)
so left it at 90 shots.....
 
Recently dry fired the rest inside up to about 200 shot mark
then chrono a few bb's @ 260
back inside & dry fired up to 250 shots & she was at 90fps
275/280 & she was out of gas
 
So yeah looks like it might have sort of done what I needed it to:
 
320fps & mag good for 150 maybe 180 bb's - that is getting on for 8 or 9 mags
think I will forget looking for a cyma electric pistol, see how this works out in a month or two
might do the other one but will wait a little while first
think next time I reckon using a small square file to get a nice recessed flat area striking the valve
the round one might look neat or even a bit realistic but smooth square flat surface to me might
provide a more accurate consistent strike on valve than maybe the round halfpipe shape
 
pistol - alas out of stock now
 
http://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/gg-105-co2-gg-105-co2.html?filter_name=HFC%20105
 
10% off voucher think was RC10 = £27 and free del on everything
 
like I said £27 - jeez a mag & del would cost a fair bit of that so bought a few
but they was hitting 400-450, now I might be able to use it
 
Other places do sell these cheapo pistols but not as cheap & delivered
but this bodge - and that is what it is ffs may just allow some cheapo guns to be used
 
PLEASE do not do this to any half decent pistol - get it done PROPERLY !!!!
if anyone wants to try this crap please remember:
 
EVERY GUN WILL BE DIFFERENT !!!!!
 
Another one - my other pistol may only need 1mm or 1.5mm shaved off
if I just dive in and take too much off too quickly it may drop to 100fps
I had got a rough idea with washers over valve stopping trigger hitting fully home
so I knew not to go too mad with dremel & files
 
Go very very slowly and gradually bit by bit - needless to say:
 
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU SCREWING UP YOUR £125 CO2 PISTOL
(I am not very responsible or mature at all for that matter)
 
Only attempt this if you have a crappy cheapo gun, and a little common sense
and decent stuff - not your mum's nail file ffs
and can afford to lose the gun if YOU screw up going too mad
it may not work for all or other pistols so it is down to owner/user to decide
 
Not sure - DON'T DO IT, if not ready fine wait a while and will update if bodge still works ok
 
soz for long waffle - but I ain't gonna buy anybody a new gun if it goes pear shape on ya
 
ItsAJ - deffo spend £15 on the shop proper mod, my crappy gun is a non blowback 1911
yours is deffo worth £15 spent on it and can be reversed no doubt - my bodge not really

nope these muppets will just keep going - they must spend a fortune on google Ad Words
 
They are ALWAYS popping up in search engine - ffs
 
plus the term - one born every minute, the customer JBBG cater for
(was me 4 or 5 months ago - so I learnt my lesson the hard/scammed way)

It's also a bad move because all the guy on the right needs to do is grab the barrel, point it away from himself and go for the easy knife kill.
