That makes sense. I might pick up a 28TPA motor for mine. Should run quite a bit cooler and more efficiently than the stock motor.

What motor are you running? - I tried a 16TPA SHS in mine and I was getting overspin.

Welcome to the forums. All your questions will be answered with just a quick browse through the forum sections. My advice - rent for you first three games before buying anything.

Dear god - that is a thing of beauty. The SF handguard looks great on there.

Never believe the stated mAh on Airsoft LiPo packs. 2 x 1300mAh (quite old but good quality) RC packs would get me through a fairly average day of play easily. I bought some brand new 'Airsoft' 1300mAh packs and they just about last 2 games, and definately wouldn't make it to the lunch break. I've now fitted stubby fixed stocks to a couple of my guns so I can throw in a decent sized (and quality) 3000mAh 11.1c RC LiPo and roll all day with it.

Just received a boneyard Classic Army UMP from @THE FNG. She'll need a bit of work, but I'm hoping to have her up and running for my next day of BBwarz. I forgot how much I love H&K plastic spaceguns (*looking at my big pile of boring M4s*).

Yeh - took me a little while to pick up on that too. Good move to roll out the functionality to the Supporters - hopefully they will be able to help tackle this issue.

Ooof. Another morning of Spam. I've reported eveything I could find again.

Just been hit with another wave of spam threads. 😪 I'll keep reporting them as I see them.

mAh multiplied by the C rating gives the maximum continuous current the pack can provide - It directly relates to the power output. eg: 15c X 1300 mAh = 19.5A (continuous) 25c X 1300 mAh = 32.5A (continuous) 10c X 3000 mAh = 30.0A (continuous) A lower C rating is often used to 'throttle' the power to the motor - hence 15c recommendations from some manufacturers/techs/retailers. However, 15C on, say, a 3000mAh pack will allow the motor to draw up to 45A which could be enough to nuke the gun at some point.

I'm slightly embarrassed to say I did not notice that bit of functionality. So many clicks wasted over the years. 🤣

I know you are 'retired' so I wouldn't place any expectations on you - but we need more moderators that frequent the forums daily. The last couple of days have been rough.

Yeh. I know. If something isn't done soon it could kill the forum. Let's hope things are moving behind the scenes to sort this out.

I've reported everything I can find. Gets a bit messy around the classifieds as they have posted a couple of adverts in each section so I might have missed one or two.

Looked more like tape residue on them to me. They were probably wrapped in tape to indicate they were the knackered guns on the rack and not to be handed out to the punters. Just a guess though. Actually, it looks like guns it’s on the guns that not have the stock folding button. Probably taped the stock folded to stop it flapping around.

Classic Army G36s - so hard to get these days. Definitely one of the better G36 models. If I hadn't spent all my pocket money - I would have a couple to make a 'good' one. Shame the UMPs are Umarex Sportline (S&T OEM) with their bent stocks.

Cyma Platinum-based AEGs do not come with those nasty batteries or chargers that are often bundled with the cheapo guns.

I know where you are coming from - I get 'gun-crushes' where I try to convince myself that I NEED a particular model or platform - only to lose interest (if I buy it) or move onto the next 'cool' thing that my Ape brain wants. I'm on a 'H&K' thing at the moment - just bought a boneyard UMP and hanker for a G36, despite owning and selling both platforms in the past.

Good and good. You don't need any help from us - let the retailer sort it out. Good luck - I hope it gets sorted in a timely manner.

It's a weird one with King Arms. Their premium stuff is really nice - at least the couple of KA blasters I've had hands-on with, but in trying to compete in the low-end market, they made some epic compromises with the Ultra Grade. Mould lines everywhere, upper receiver that bulges out in the middle, Plastic buffer tube and charging handle etc are just the things that stuck out to me. I hear the Gearboxes, whilst outwardly featuring many of the same internal gubbins as their premium offerings, have nowhere near the love, attention and QA applied to them in the factory. The Ultra Grade platform is also used for the Tippmann Recon and some of the CAA-branded stuff from ASG.

Umm...ok. Some baffling decisions made from both sides methinks. I'm guessing you are referring to www.exmachina.uk / @EX_MACHINA? Well, he's had no social media posts since Nov-22. Time to cut your losses and move on - I would wager he won't be back. Given timescales, I doubt you'll be getting any money back you may have paid him either. A harsh lesson learnt.

That's an interesting idea - but it could be weaponised to bin off posts that the mob just doesn't like, even if it doesn't contravene any rules per se. Remember Mr No_Face? I think more moderators is the answer. I reckon supporters such as yourself act as the 'hiring board' (if they don't want to throw their own name in the hat) - I assume you have your own forum section ring-fenced from the masses where such discussion could be held? Just another brainfart.

@proffrink Thanks for the update. This forum is a fantastic resource and has a very good core community - I hope this can be sorted soon.

Mental this morning. I have reported as much as I can (20 or 30) - but it was like whack-a-mole with new threads springing up. Classifieds is a mess. I nominate @Tackle , @Rogerborg and @rocketdogbert - three of the most prolific forums users ATM that use the forums daily. Doesn't even have to a full-blown moderator status - just a 'mini-mod' role with the power to Nerf spam threads. Handbag fights that need an adult to intervene would still be be covered by @Jedi_Master No Mr Borg - YOU are the hero we need right now...time to don the cape.

Most Impressive. Just need a Glock 19, HK417 and a L129 to round things out. Oh, and a sterling. 😜
