    Just make sure you dont accidentally get some fairy power spray on it and remove the paint when wiping off your accidental spillage. Dont tell people on internet forums about your mishap either, it might give the wrong impression.

    it is the weight or mass of the bb/projectile
     
    normally min 0.20's are used - often 0.25's or heavier maybe by some
    the lighter 0.12's don't always get felt under layers of protection/clothes very easily
    also lighter bb's tend to be fly off course over distance
     
    so for wimpy players playing close up 0.12's are ok
     
    this where the " BB " sites specialise in crappy lower quality/price plinkers which is fine for that
     
    Problem is that they tend to make the younger or newcomer believe these plinkers will be ok out on a skirmish site
    They won't - 99% of them will put you at a disadvantage, some more than others
     
    your £10 pistol has to be cocked everytime to fire, might only shoot say 240fps on 0.2's - maybe less coz often figures are max fps quoted
    even on cqb sites that might be single shot at close range guns can still shoot say 7+ shots per second on semi with a decent trigger finger/gun
    so you may scape 2 shots per second if lucky in a fire fight
    but people do have a go especially if they like a challenge or wish to humiliate them using a crappy jbbg
    just don't go nutz or get too stressed if ya get owned by a more proper gun/toy gun
     
    This is supposed to be short thread so I'll just say 0.12's hurt the least
    if that stings too much - then best wait a few years or man up a bit

    On average I'd say yeah, less than a paintball hit, but a pinch? Dunno - it depends how hard you pinch, or where on the body, assuming you mean grabbing a bit of skin between thumb and forefinger (rather than, say, getting a bit of your finger caught in a piece of machinery so it causes a blood blister)... but it's not really equivalent anyway, because I've only ever been pinched by surprise.
     
    I mean, even while being tickled, so the physical contact isn't a surprise, the sudden change of tactics makes the pain unexpected and thus worse. When you're skirmishing your adrenalin is amped up, so even hits which break the skin don't bother you anywhere near as much as they would if, say, you sneaked into your brother's room and shot him in the bare arse after he'd just emerged from the shower, for instance (which action we, as a responsible forum, would never condone nor encourage since neither he, nor possibly you, would be likely to be wearing eye protection). However if you did and could somehow convince the hapless yoot to indeed wear eyepro into the shower, the warm, freshly scrubbed, buttock would very likely sting more from a 0.2g BB @270FPS from 5m than it would from an average non-bruising pinch. Even in the middle of a skirmish, a similar hit to ungloved fingers would sting enough to make most people yelp and/or swear, but onto a sleeved arm, you'd be far more bothered by the in-game consequences of being hit (the walk of shame or yelling for a medic) than the momentary pain.
     

    ...this hit was from a 0.2g BB @365-70FPS from 6-7m
    It resulted from a BB getting between a loose lower face mask bouncing away from my goggles opening and closing a gap as I ran. It did sting, but not much - less than a pinch, but it didn't half shit me up because it was so close to my eye and I could feel the wet blood running down my face.
     
    The pic was taken in the safe zone around 15mins later, after i had wiped my face with tissues and water in the field, so it doesn't really demonstrate how much it bled. I mean at worst there were multiple points where it was dripping from my beard. After the initial WTF moment had passed however, the blood itself was the only issue preventing me from just regen-ing (a marshal didn't want me carrying on until the bleeding was under control) and getting straight back into the assault on the fort, which had been stalling a bit until a handful of us went in on a banzai mission which proved enough to turn the tide, so my team were then hitting the enemy so fast that it sounded like the only thing slowing them was having to wait for dead-men-walking to get down the 2 single file staircases to the upper level, so the last few die-hards could be rooted out... all of which i mention for context, ie my adrenalin was pumping good stylee! I literally barely felt any pain even though the hit pretty much destroyed the dermis layer so I have a permanent BB sized crater scar...
     
    BTW, this is not me giving it the Billy Big Bollox - anyone who'se been into airsoft for a while will tell you the same: we've all got our tales of the real zingers that either left permanent scars but didn't hurt, or contrarily left no glory but nigh on crippled us at the time

    Sitting Duck reacted to dex in Krytac CRB review/initial impressions   
    Just got hold of a Krytac CRB, thought I'd throw up a quick initial impression by way of pros and cons. Hope this is useful for anyone considering buying one.
     
    Pros:
    - Good packaging, manual.
    - Hi cap mag and iron sights are decent quality
    - External build quality is very good (with a couple of exceptions below), on par with G&P, VFC etc
    - Keymod rail makes for light weight
    - Stock is very good with some well thought out features
    - Internals are excellent - arguably the best v2 gearbox design around combined with top quality gears, piston, etc and integrated mosfet
    - UK version comes with M100 spring (shooting ~340fps with hop off)
    - Price compares favourably with AEGs of similar quality (G&P, VFC, etc)
     
    Cons:
    - Wired with Tamiya connector (FFS why?)
    - Flash hider is plastic and cheap looking as well as hard to remove due to being glued on
    - Grip is shiny and cheap looking
    - No rail sections included for the keymod
    - Motor is weak
     
    Closing thoughts:
    Overall I'm pretty pleased with the CRB. It's light weight, well built and has a top notch gearbox. My only gripes at this stage are with the flash hider (promptly removed via a hair dryer and a bit of persuasion and replaced with a stubby suppressor), the grip (promptly replaced by a MOE) and the motor. I don't know if they ship with a different motor in the UK as I heard good things about the stock ones, but it very weak with sluggish response (compared to my other AEGs) and tons of overspin and a tendency to heat up quickly. Very disappointing. Luckily I had a spare SHS high torque laying around which has sorted things. Anyone thinking of buying a Krytac should factor in the cost of a decent motor.
     
    I'll throw in an updated review after skirmishing the CRB a few times.

    Boys and their toys crap....
    Toy guns are similar to the cars we drive or floats your boat
     
    You could go out and buy either a Ford or a BMW say...
     
    You "could" upgrade the Ford to perform better than the BMW
     
    But even though the Ford will be much better performing - it will STLL be a Ford
    (even if it had a BMW lump in it)
     
    If you want a BMW and got the cash then get a BMW
    if you like the Ford wanna tweak it - fine go for it
     
    I don't give a crap really - I'm off to fit some bitching neons to the underside of my Ford G&G's and get a Kiss FM sticker / patch
    Hoping to get a pic of my gun with some girl showing her jugs off in next months Fast Gun Magazine
