    What have you made?

    This is great. I see you printed it on the inside seam facing the bed. I think you should do it the other way. Remove the protruding parts from the side so it can lay flat. The front and back protrusions will still hold it in the shell. This way the ramp will be much cleaner. The spring will...

    AEP coiled cable lipo conversion Amp rating

    Just save yourself the hassle and install a lipo where the old battery was. It will last much longer than the nimh if the same size. One around 1000Mah should fit and will give you ~1500 shots.

    CYMA CM028U (AK Tactical)

    It is a workhorse. No matter what a CM028 will just work.

    2-3 years ago I've played with a guy who was then 69.

    That butchered front grip. ?

    battery vs motor decision

    What do you mean by "whining post cycle"? It's not a good idea running a normal AEG on 11.1V because it will burn the contacts on the trigger switch. Make a simple MOSFET circuit that protects it, then it should be fine. However if there are weird sounds when using it, there is probably...

    Blank Firing Gun Kills

    Don't worry. In the UK half the players would faint hearing the first blank shot and the next day youtube would be full of videos of "REAL STEEL GUN SHOT MADE MY EAR BLEED".

    Rifle choice

    For years you will perform the same with a good working £100 AEG and a good working £400 one. If all the skills and gear are sorted, that's when you will be able to use the quality difference, if at all. Ranges: reliably hitting targets at 50m is good for an AEG, 60m is very good. DMR-ing adds...

    Ballistics and how less power is more energy delivery.

    Advanced topics: Heavier BBs will fly further than light ones if fired with the same energy. We are talking about normal BB weights and site legal energies. Heavier BBs fired from the same gun will have more energy than lighter ones if the gas volume is matching the barrel for the heavy one...

    Sniper rang? Really!

    But ballistic calculators don't incorporate backspin, because real steel bullets don't do that. They can not give you anything remotely accurate results for airsoft. It affects range and trajectory for BBs more than anything else. This is ballistic...

    Ballistics and how less power is more energy delivery.

    Those seem to be some soft metal slugs. My guess is that it works like a bullet, and expands into the rifling. The more pressure it has behind it, the more it expands, creating more friction and slowing down the slug.

    Sniper rang? Really!

    Airsoft BBs have backspin that greatly affect the trajectory. Most of them at least. There's an indoor sniping thing in Japan where they have very precisely built rifles with no hopup to shoot coin sized targets in close, 10-20m ranges. No hopup because that makes them less accurate. Only my...

    Sniper rang? Really!

    Bucking hardness is for the fps measured with the weight used. Not with what the fps would be with 0.20g.

    Sniper rang? Really!

    If you are using heavy BBs (which you should), use a hardness 50-60 houpup rubber. They are the best for about 330-350 fps which you should aim for. If you use light bbs (you shouldn't), so the fps is around 450, then use a hard rubber. So it is not x fps measured with 0.20g, but the actual fps...

    Selling airsoft internal and external parts

    You can sell the parts. Even if they make up a complete gun, because manufacturing a RIF is an offence when they want to assemble them. And that's on them, not on you.

    Discharging AEP Lipos?

    Futuristic Concept Airsoft Pistol

    Nice concept. The trigger guard looks very small though.

    Hoping to return to airsoft and looking for sites within ten miles of High Wycombe

    There's Reforger at Watford that might be within range. Nice woodland site.

    V3 motor too loose

    The bottom of the motor cage is what preventing it from turning around (and the grip too). If it is lower and sits in its place, it won't be able to do it.
