Making the Novristch Ssp1 a Little Less Shameful

For a tight CQB all you really need is a tapped extended mag with a speedloader in your pocket.

That is the very boring answer though.

When I played The Department last year one of the locals was running a drum mag, I appreciate they would be good for a purpose but I guess it depends on if you single fire or suppress?

 
I was thinking that I’d need the full 350rds of the drum. Given that I won’t be calling hits and need to overshoot rentals, it’ll be a long time between going back to the safe zone to refill mags

git gud

 
Haha. Well there's honesty at least.lol ?

Out of context, it sounds pretty unsportsmanlike, but the speed soft joke has been fairly consistent through this thread

awaiting someone finding that out of context on google and signing up to berate you for it in a years time :P

 
is it bad that i kinda want it to happen now because the irony of us talking about it will be so much more delicious :P

 
To be fair, I’m half surprised no one has created an account to defend the SSP1 in its stock form and tell me I’m a halfwit for doubting it’s god-tier-performance

fair point, been a while since we've had one of those debates. they're always fun :P

 
It’s always amazing how some people cannot accept being wrong sometimes. Those debates are always amazing examples of them!

The one a few weeks ago about barrel lengths and range was fun

Steering the ship back on course. What differentiates a normal BBU from a full auto one? I’ve got a box of spares and very little to do

that really blew out of proportion, remember coming back seeing mack's had grown by half a dozen pages being like "wtf did i start!?"  :P

haven't a clue, never had a gbb with auto.

 
First game back is on the 25th so I’ve been testing excitedly. Got one bbu/nozzle combo that’s giving slightly lower than expected FPS but it’s perfectly fine as a loaner for my best mate who’s playing for the first time in 14 years!

Refilling the HPA tank isn’t much fun but I’ll soon have arms like Popeye. Also found a good solution for carrying the tank without koing myself when I run! Excuse the worlds messiest workshop!

Just heard on the grapevine that HiCapa Hub will be getting a fairly significant delivery of railed frames, 4.3 parts and a general restock in early May. I've bagsied a Black, railed Infinity frame. If youve been on the fence, I wouldnt hang about, hit Kyle up!

Yes I have quite a few parts due from him as well.

Am very tempted to get a frame for the 4.3 as well now ?

 
I’ve grown rather fond of the CCT dynamic BBU’s. I think I may need to snag a couple when his order comes in. 
 

I hope that after the Battlecats, they do a run of 4.3 frames. I’d have one in a heartbeat

 
I’ve become the absolute worst air softer.

Yesterday, I ran my Speedcat/HPA rig for most of the day’s main 2 hour game. Flinging 0.36’s and running like a lunatic, I never racked up so many kills in a game! Took an entire squad out solo who were holding one of the objectives. 
 

One slightly salty moment when I shot a dead player. From my perspective, no hand up and walking towards players who were waiting to be healed. In his defence, he was waking in the general direction of the respawn so probably thought people would read him as dead. I was taken aback by his reaction, he ran up and unloaded a few pistol rounds on me! I can’t shake the feeling that if I was carrying an AEG and not In Speedyboi mode, he would have reacted differently. Anyway, caught up with him in the safe zone to put it behind us both and ended up playing with his tricked out AAP01. 
 

Overall, I felt like a bit of a prat running nothing bar a pistol with a drum mag and an air tank but the results spoke for themselves. After I ran my tank dry, I thought I’d run a more sedate, DMR role for the rest of the day to balance out my Airsoft karma

Edit - took a buddy with me, lent him kit including the SSP1 that started this whole thing. He lost the entire pistol at one point! Luckily he found it, but when I got it back he’d managed to lose the thumb-side piece of the thumb safety and the pin set?! How? I don’t know, I mean, you need to take the slide off to remove it?!?

Learnt something about valves on Sunday. Having put Guarder High output valves on all my magazines I’ve realised that high output does not mean higher performance, instead they’re a fast-pass to cool down central. I did a little experiment with a TM valve that was kicking about and shot to shot consistency is far better with seemingly little to no drop in velocity.

Got a few TM valves on the way from Mike at Elite and the Guarder ones can go to my ever-growing parts bin 

 
Keep hold of them. Will come in handy when you make the move to HPA. (That's a when, not an if).
