a friend of mine has qualified as a personal trainer. He is looking at different tasks with his circuit classes he runs. One thing he mentioned was he saw a fitness video he tried out 1 mile run, various exercises but they used weighted vests. I said i had some low profile vests that you can put training plates in

Any one know where you can get the plates or much about them?, also, are there any cheaper than warrior vests you can use that are low profile and take these plates....

I will google anyway so don't panic when i get a break in work but always good to get first hand experience or avoidance  as i remember some members asking about them a while back  :)

Travail or trident gear

 
I bought a used Novritsch SSE18 AEP with a 7.4V 550mah battery. With a battery fully charged it shoots single and auto as expected when tested indoors.

Storing the pistol in the shed where the temp is in the low 2-10 degrees Celsius if I try to shoot on single it doesn't seem to have the power to compress the spring and complete a cycle. On auto it takes over a second to complete the first cycle but then it shoots OK while the trigger is pressed.

If I keep it indoors it seems to have no problems.

I took it skirmishing at the weekend and found I couldn't depend on it to shoot. Temperature ranged from 1-8 degrees Celsius through the day.

I bought it as my gas pistols are very unreliable in the winter and hoped an AEP wouldn't suffer from the cold.

Do all AEPs behave like this or is the battery faulty?

My CYMA CM.123 (essentially the same internals) is fine in the cold.  A bit weak with the stock battery, much better even with a tiny 300mAh 35/70C (i.e. 10.5A - 21A) 7.4V lipo and no mosfet.  Sounds like your battery is quite tired.  It might benefit from a gearbox lube, although they're pretty fiddly to take apart, or more specifically, put back together.  Some silicon lube down the "nozzle" so that it gets to the piston rings might help.

E&L one piece cylinder + cylinder head:

The piston head is mushroom type, if I use a regular piston head, will it fuck up the AOE? From pictures I've seen of so called "silent" cylinder heads they seem of the same dimension as regular cylinder heads.

Yay or nay?

Well that's a question I should have asked as I had poor compression with my new silent piston head, then had the piston head come away from the piston (hadn't loctited it) and so put a standard piston and head in to the gun.  Which then promptly ate the piston.  

So I'm going to say yes, my personal experience is that using mismatched heads fucks up the AoE. 

It might not be that... But it seems likely

yes it will, although not by much. easily correctable with some shims between the piston head and piston body.

the mushroom head is slightly thicker than a non-mushroom which is why the ootb aoe is pretty decent.

 
Hey all, does anyone know if the outer barrel assembly between the VFC HK 416  D (v2) and A5 AEGs are interchangeable, basically where the outer barrel meets the upper receiver?  They look very similar on the parts diagrams, i've messaged VFC a while back and still no response!

Essentially, i'm turning my 10.5 inch A5 into a 14.5 inch, using the extended Geissele rail, you can buy the 14.5 inch extended outer barrel and gas garts for the 416 D, so want to use those (they have some nice HK trades on them) and a similar extension piece doesn't exist for the A5 variant as far as i can tell to turn it into a 14.5.

Thanks for any insight.

Does anyone know the inner diameter of the Geissele mk16 SMR handguard? 

 
Is the pot metal of the receiver on the TM gbbr cerakoted?

Thanks Jim, but I mistakenly left out the important part.

I know the ARs are ceratkoted. Is the AKM gbb also cerakoted?

 
Hi Everyone, just a quick question,  I'm new to airsoft so getting a idea of the ammo I will need! How many BBs does everyone go through a month in general and what quantity of bbs do you buy and how often!?

this will obviously depend on how often people play etc.. but im just looking for a rough idea.

 
Buy more than you think you’ll need to avoid disappointment.

Personally I use about 600ish rounds a game day but I play with some lads that blast that from a high cap first game ?

 
Really depends on your style of play. When I had a support gun 4500 a game day. Just using an aeg 800 to 1200 rounds a game day I used .28g BBs. Avoid blasters, neuprol bbs.

On a game day I get through 1500-2000 normally (with some single-shot games in the mix), but I'm sure I've gone as high as 3000, so I usually ensure I have a couple of kilos of BBs knocking around (or buy some extras at lunchtime)

I usually go for tubes of 3000 ish and will take a pair to a game day, though I've rarely used a full tube, but it depends on your style of play and mag capacity. Mid caps and semi auto will go through a lot less than a spray and pray hicap hero.

As for the purchase of I tend to grab a bottle or two when ordering other thing else or grab a load to make postage less of an issue.
