    The "What I wasted money on" thread...

    S&T Sterling. I used it once, where one of the mid-caps stopped feeding immediately (they're about £25 each). Then the semi-auto stopped working (I bought it primarily as a CQB weapon). I opened up the gearbox, did everything I could to fix it, still couldn't find any logical reason it was...

    Gun picture thread

    Trying to make my SSG look like it's not an SSG. I never liked the swirly-barrel nonsense anyway!

    whats all the hate for riot shields?

    It might have helped, but no-one ever has one when it's needed! ?

    whats all the hate for riot shields?

    They can be great. Providing both teams have access to them. Bad memory - I was at a site where one player bought one along and was allowed to use it. In attacking, they needed to take an objective in a corridor-like passage between two buildings. Mr shield moves up, and there's literally...

    If money was no object what RIF would you buy

    The LCT M60E1 to replace my A&K one. Or the LCT RPD. Or an RWA MG34. More realistically, the Ares L1A1 with wood kit ?

    Hate it with a passion.

    Indeedy, just about! Very 90s. In fact not too dissimilar to mine. None of that fancy rails everywhere nonsense! A classic looking gun. Although even mine I only bought on a whim and still don't really like it that much ?

    Hate it with a passion.

    M4s and anything that looks like an M4! Don't know why. Maybe it's because they're so commonplace. I'll happily take note of the finer differences between AK47s, 74s, 105s etc etc, but show me a HK416, Honeybadger, or any other M4 style gun and....nah. I just see an M4. Don't know why! Unless...

    De-Railed discussions / Rants etc

    It'd make sense ? although a) all my batteries are mini-tamiya b) I don't have any problems with mini-tamiya and c) if I tried it I'd probably end up setting something on fire ?

    De-Railed discussions / Rants etc

    These come with a large Tamiya connector by default, so I guess it's been converted to mini. Something I should really do with mine, given how many times I've arrived at a skirmish and forgotten the adapter... ?

    Airsoft Argument

    I'd be with Player Two here. I'm not a fan of bang/surrender being forced at sites, but when it's done as an option, I think it's common sense to keep your gun on them til their hand is up. Otherwise you're just inviting someone to shoot you in the back.

    Novritsch SSG24

    I bought the SSG24. I'm not particularly a fan of Novritsch himself, I haven't really watched many of his videos (apart from when I was deciding whether to buy the gun or not), so it really wasn't a case of 'buying it for the name'. In fact, first thing I did when I opened the package was remove...

    40 Mike Gas Shell - 150 BB's in 0.3sec

    Agreed, the marketing was terrible. Although apparently the only reason they did the advert in a CQB site was because filming it outside didn't show the 'potential' of the grenade. I'm guessing it's hard to film BBs showering over long range and still make it look impressive. So I can kind of...

    40 Mike Gas Shell - 150 BB's in 0.3sec

    From the interview the CEO of Airsoft Innovations did, I'd say it's the end of a long line of them trying to get something like their cyclone grenade into the underbarrel launchers. He said they'd done prototypes with cyclone grenades that actually launched with timers, but they were too...

    40 Mike Gas Shell - 150 BB's in 0.3sec

    Pretty much every video I've seen it in (especially the novritsch one), a single pistol shot would do the same job. So what's the justification for the other 129 BBs? It's not a spread weapon. To fire at long range and suppress an area, sure, great. But it's marketed as a CQB weapon, and that's...

    Are LMGs worth it?

    Being able to spray off 2000 or so rounds without winding is super fun. Also, a lot of the sites I go to have a 2-second burst rule for AEGs; LMGs with a bipod deployed get 4 seconds. So for me, it's definitely a different playstyle, and you can make a difference with the sheer amount of plastic...

    Omg how many bbs do you use?

    Usually 400-500 in a 50 minute game. Although I took the M60 out last month and managed to eat through a full 2500 round box in that same time... ?

    AEP Lipo Batteries?

    My plan was to use that adaptor for the main charging cable, and the balancing lead as usual, so it would still have balancing. Being useless at all things electrical, I wasn't sure if i was missing something there that would end in a firy mess ? I may have to look into the JST thing. Sounds...

    AEP Lipo Batteries?

    Thanks for the replies all! Ah okie dokie. I suppose it doesn't make a difference that I'm using the AEP-Lipo adaptor, which makes the connectors the same as the NiMH ones? I'm a bit dense when it comes to batteries, does the charge going into a LiPo via the Tamiya/Deans cable differ from...

    AEP Lipo Batteries?

    Okay, I think I've found what I need for this: https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/marui-mp7-discharge-adapter-for-500mah-battery From what I can tell, I can plug the battery into that, and then that into the charger via mini Tamiya. Only concern I have is that it says 500mah in the product...
