Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

Anybody notice this little issue on another of Andrey's finest offerings - apart from the Two-tone respray and missing selector markings? :

Pretty sure those lines should be 90deg to each other....

But of course, it's 'new and never skirmished' - despite the shit paint job and the man's finest gunsmiffing skillz to re-shim, AoE correct and radius cut the gearbox.

 
Sadly not worth anywhere near that IMO.  Probably due to DCAs high initial retail price, and another case of the Tier 1 Upgrade charge mostly being a labour cost, which can't be passed onto the second hand buyer.

Considering most SRC MP5s are advertised as firing at around 1 joule, his repair skills must be pretty shit to get that much of a drop in power

Oh, I wish.  But we've seen this over and over because of Jurassic age sites still saying "350fps lol eVeRy1 NoWs WuT tHaT mEeNs lol".

And as just ranted in other threads, there are plenty of "DMR" players semi-spamming at up to 1.88J (and the rest), and that's if they're even semi-locked at all.  I've only been asked, once, and never required to demonstrate it.

At this point, I'm honestly wondering why I don't just go out there spamming 2J+ on full auto because there's essentially no sanction for it at any woodland site that I've played at.

I reckon so, that looks like another "everything I've spent on it, plus my time" pricing.

Highlights: "barrel has been lapped 5 micron".  That's 0.005mm, folks, in a barrel that's maybe only accurate to 0.1mm as stock, if you're really lucky.

"custom 22tpa neodymium motor".  Custom motor?  Like, hewn from solid neodymium by magical dwarves?

13:1 gears + a weighted piston because, well, I guess Reddit seddit.

Yup, that fits.

That's actually a good sign, as it suggests that it's usable rather than "upgraded" until it just sprays BBs all over the place for 30 feet.

And he can't give it the traditional "only fired a few test shots" spiel as the Aster will rat him out.

that is assuming the 22k rounds are from the gearbox in its current state.

could well be it's 21.5k rounds through a mostly stock gearbox before the last batch of parts were installed.

or 21.5k rounds through a different gun before the aster was transplanted into this gun.

skeptical hamster is skeptical.....

 
 "the battery at the moment is externally mounted for maximum trigger response and fire rate."

 "The safety selector plate was faulty so I removed it" 

So it's £800 for an incomplete gun

I can see what's happened.

I think the dearer gun is real whereas the cheaper gun is made of cardboard?
