Sitting Duck

Well I got a ticket for zero woodland I think but kinda fell on its ar$e like I said
so went to epsom bunker instead as wasn't gonna drive like nearly 2hrs if nobody was going to zero
 
my usual TWA is on Saturday so may pop along for half day - £10
not sure if I'm going back to bunker just yet but free ticket from zero one gun I bought is valid for 6 months
(cost me more if fuel ffs but I will go)
 
other people were either working or couldn't get there - so kinda gave up the following Sunday to Sandpitt Dartford
and now we have 10th August upon us

if ya gonna do that rewire solder then fit a fixed stubby or full size and never worry about bat spec/size
fit ya lunch in there too if ya want, but fixed stock depends on your play style
 
if ya going for DMR with 140 etc - and SHS high torque motor I presume
then fixed full size would be option looking at gun/barrel length & MED
 
if cqb like Fire Hawk stubby is ideal setup for me, just now n then stubby is a bit short but nothing major
when out in woods trying to take longer shots but hey I live with it as like I can grab any battery & not worry
 
sod it if ain't as nice as VS-02 stock, far more practical for me but to each their own
yeah if you gonna unsolder mosfet module then you could look at changing stock perhaps
 
Again it is all up to YOU - jeez I spent too much on this, gonna sign off coz I have done nothing for last few hours
best of luck
 
S D

Something like that on a tshirt i can see my self in that

Well I suppose if you want to stir up a hornet's nest with a unique loadout:
 
get a T Shirt printed with the words on it:
 
 
YOUR LOADOUT
 
LOOKS GAY !!!!!
 
 
then see how fast you can run as you get lit up quicker than Blackpool Illuminations

I run these: http://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-1300mah-25c-continuous-discharge-101mm-long.html
 
I have D-Boys stock tubes on my guns (cheap!!) and they fit fine They stick out a bit, but not a probpem once the stock is on - I just can't collapse it all the way in, but one notch out is fine
 

 

yeah thought at first with title it was lipo charge bag too
don't use them but I always keep a very very regular close eye on them charging on a workshop table
 
a few years off a colostomy bag hopefully....
 
dunno about a great big battery though, might be wise to consider 2 x decent 2200mah lipo's
can your gun or rather you happy to pump 11.1v through her all time
could get a 9.9v LiFe battery - or say:
 
1 x 11.1v 2200mah
1 x 9.9v Life battery
 
one battery may last a full day but that is what you have half time or lunch for
plus all eggs in one basket - bit heavy and if it goes tit$ up you lost ya only battery
no other backup so to speak
 
yes 2 batteries may cost a little more than 1 great big mother battery
ergh but you got bag cost to add to big mother battery too
 
or say sod it, loads of gaffa/duct tape and nick ya car battery just going nuts full on mental
keep a spare motor handy if doing this daft idea of mine - no don't do this last bit

I'm still a stalwart fan of NiMh because they're cheap as chips and I like what I know.
 
Any 8.4v NiMh battery pack of the right size will pretty much be as good as any other in my experience, so if you do go that way, just visit component-shop and get some from there.
 
If you want to go LiPo (which I'd recommend because it's the future and I just refuse to catch up), then I have no further guidance for you.

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
 
http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/7377-the-what-have-you-just-bought-thread/page-175#entry159603

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

http://www.proairsoftsupplies.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=carbine&PN=cm16_carbine_transparent.html#SID=239
 
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 ???

Was it a tan G&G and you sprayed it black using something like fishnet stockings ???

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
