      Second hand and not new, but works perfectly and not a single scratch/ dent!

      I've got one of the AMD Quad Core versions - its a solid tough bugger, its been dropped a few times. Survived over 2 years of school now.

      The person who owned it before only decided to sell because she was going to Uni and wanted a higher memory capacity, but it's amazing! After years of word etc 2003 and Microsoft xp its great!

      But I think. I preferred the look of Microsoft XP......

  2. Well after a year and  a half away from the sport, looks like I'll soon be able to jump back in. Any tips for making sure my kit is still in working order by the time I'm able to play (probably Jan 2022)? I've been charging batterys and firing off a mag or  two for the AEGs and then just kept the GBB mags up with some gas.

      Er, it's an M4. It's literally one bolt, then split the receiver.  If the fake bolt piece falls out, meh, you don't actually need it.

      @AK47frizzleThe good days indeed, but also the days where 13 year old me made a million "best gunz" threads. Its a shame to no longer see the old faces like Monty, Ed, Yawns, Zak, Del Monty etc but cool to see the forum is still flourishing none the less

       

      @RogerborgI'll give it a go closer to the time and get back to you 😃

  3. So my laptop fan seems to be not working more often than it is (I mean not spinning) . Would it be an idea to buy one of those compressed air thingies or are they a waste of money? (To clean out the dust)

      give it blow/hoover, might help a clogged fan, boot to bios to check fan speed or its actually turning - not stuck, then continue to load windoze as usual.

      Also might be better to have fan constantly turning

    3. Sitting Duck

      Sitting Duck

      Some bios/fan apps for pc can turn fan on/off to keep it quiet, me personally think best to keep fan ticking over at all times. Might be sticking when waking up from idle/suspend mode

      had one laptop - intel which normally run cooler than amd - kept running hot - even cleaning and new MX2 thermal paste. Always ran warm no matter what I did

      (freezer workstation isn't practical but handy for bbq's)

  4. Time to research improving the CM16 and hopping my butter fingers dont fuck it up

      Indeed, Maple Leaf rubbers can be long lipped. You might get lucky, or not. My Specna Arms feeds fine off its own mags with its own hop unit and a Maple Leaf, but doesn't like any other mags - I've been meaning to give it a little trim.

      I actually think it is more to do with the barrel more than anything. If I swapped to my default barrel it seems okay. I know people say that AK hopups are more of a pain.

      I'll second the above advice.   I think that the 16 is a good rif to start tinkering with.  It's so easy to break down that feeding issues are soon fixed.  

  5. 6 years after first trying, I finally own an airsoft rifle!!!!!!

      It wasn't exactly my choice, I had to wait to be allowed one. Had I been allowed immediately, I would be heavily in debt by now.

  7. I almost bought Euro Truck sim 2 when I realised I hadn't checked if I could run it... And I cant...bugger. How badly would it run if these were my results?http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/euro-truck-simulator-2/11492/?p=a

      Installed memory 6.00GB RAM (5.48GB usable)

      64bit Windows 7

      was that the 5 models the staff picked and think their tech guy jed tweaked n sprayed them after each staff member added their bits n bobs to it. Probably very nice but I wouldn't pay that much for it

      I don't think its that bad, justs needs some spicing up.

      Nope its as bad as advanced warfare. Stupid double jump, slow aiming down sights and horribly balanced weapons. MW2 was the last really good COD.

      Hopefully hardcore makes it better.

  10. Had some issues with the cm16 raider today in that the .25 bbs were drooping to the floor after only 10m with the hop. Up both fully on and off. Adjusting the hop up does not seem to do anything. Any ideas on what I could do?

      Yeah for sure there are quite a few things that could potentially go wrong with reassembly.

       

      - ensure the hop rubber (the sleeve) is fitted correctly, with the protruding line seated in the long groove in the barrel and the protruding nub on the opposite side seated inside the little window in the barrel.

       

      - It is possible to push the barrel with the rubber installed both too far into the hop unit thereby smushing up the feed lips and distorting them or equally not pushing the barrel and feed lips in far enough, either scenario will almost certainly run you into feeding problems. 

      (sometimes with a very tight setup a small amount of silicon oil can help - just don't get it any where near the hop window)

       

      - ensure the plastic barrel clip is engaged properly, with the two recesses fitting correctly into the grooves on the barrel - some times these can go on and you'll think its in place, but in fact the two recesses are just resting on the edge of the groove - this can cause the barrel itself to move, thereby moving the cut out window away from the hop up arm rendering the mechanism useless.

       

      - custom hop nubs (especially flat nubs) can be too wide for your existing hop window and will require an equal amount of light sanding on each side until it comfortably fits into the window - the test is to press the nub down and see if it springs back up under the elastic force of the rubber without getting lodged. 

      This could cause you an inability to push the nub down or it could cause the nub to become stuck, so that when you raise the hop arm the nub remains in its position in the hop window.

       

      - Also do check the condition of all the hop mechanism dials and arms, It's not that common but some times these little pieces can become a bit minced.

       

      Defintley, take the barrel and hop out, dissemble, then  reassemble checking at every stage.. to be safe, do clean the rubber on the inside of the window. You can see if the mechanism is working in its most basic form by looking down the barrel and adjusting the wheel while observing the nub lowering and rising.

       

      Hope this helps dude!

      Cr0-Magnon

      Sounds like an issue I had when I hadn't reinstalled the nub correctly.

    4. Zarrin

      Zarrin

      @Cr0-Magnonoh yeah, that's another one - make sure the nub is engaged properly with the hop unit arm, if it doesn't lodge into the arm it may be displaced to the front or rear of the arm most likely resulting in a zero hop scenario. 

      Some people like to super glue the nub onto the arm, which is fine for a standard nub, though not necessarily for a flat nub otherwise you may get a sloped hop surface - the tiniest blob of silicon gel can help keep it in place for installation.

      I had a plastic cap gun revolver once, I hollowed out the barrel and rammed BBs down the front of the cylinder and used the pressure from the caps going off to fire it.

       

      Actually worked, but the barrel was about 5mm wider than the BBs, so accuracy wasn't really a thing...

    3. JamesAirsofterAgent

      JamesAirsofterAgent

      That's what I've done! But I've attempted a speed reload mag type of thing.

  13. When I turn my laptop on I have to give the fan a little kick start with a pin or something but today I used a staple.....and I dropped it in there. Should I go ahead and kick start the fan with something longer or what? I've posted a few questions on forums but no one seems to know...

    2. Lozart

      Lozart

      Once you've extracted the staple you need to get an air duster in there and try cleaning the fan out. You shouldn't be poking stuff in to "kick start" your cooling.

    3. Qlimax

      Qlimax

      Yeah defo don’t be pushing stuff inside to kick start and defo don’t start it while you’ve got a staple stuck in there. The fan could start and fling it into something else causing damage etc.

      Get a tin of compressed air and give it blast like Lozart suggested.

      Most laptops will have a youtube guide to clean out the fans, have a look and see what you can find.

      Unless your gun is very ‘picky’ about mags then any M16/M4/STANAG listed mag should fit and function fine in it .

      Advise I’d give if you need to ask ‘does this mag work in gun XYZ ?” Is come at it from the other direction with “what mags if any has anyone had problems with in gun XYZ ?”👍
