Sub 1k Polarstar Build ?

[Adolf Hamster]

Bit like clay pigeon shooting.

.48's in the makarov was a fun one, sure it'd reach out but at a mere 0.75j you had to fire in the morning game and hope after lunch someone would pick the wrong spot to stand in

gave up with that malarkey after realising i was changing bulged nozzles nearly as often as i was changing magazines and the thing was shooting further than i can actually aim a pistol anyway.....

Thanks for this post, it’s very informative

So are you still trialing the Valkyrie BBs then? How do they compare?

Im confused about BB weights tbh. I read from multiple sources that increasing the BB weight holds the speed better, which seems logical. However because we are keeping under 1.9 jules, we must run less fps and according to a few online range calculators the best range is running at 450fps 0.2g - unless I’ve used the calculator wrong which is possible!

So my question is, price aside, are we always better running heavier bbs with less fps for max range?

Also, did your ambidextrous selector switch require any modifications when running with the fusion?

Thanks,

Happy to share any knowledge I can!

My first game with them will be on the 22nd so I'll let you know after then.

Hamster's post once again does a perfect job explaining bb weight vs fps. 

Heavier bb's generally tend to be better if you can hop it and they're still moving quick enough to hit some faster than they can dodge it. The only exception being if you're at a matrix themed event where everyone wants to dodge bullets like neo ?.

Nope, just took the system that game with the G&G originally and fitted it to the fusion engine. Works a charm. Only thing that required work was filling down the G&G selector plate along its edges to fit inside the channels for the selection plate on the fusion engine.

Thanks for all the advice, I appreciate it
 

First and foremost I’d like this to be a DMR build, however I do like the idea of having a RIF that’s versatile too, allowing me to run and gun (potentially on full auto); or even CQB with a little pre-game setup of course!

I’m currently trying to decide between tuning the RIF to fire .36g BB’s, which may fall short in the DMR territory (+ proving expensive when in full auto); and running .40g+ BB’s for DMR and ~.25g BB’s full auto and adjusting the hop-up to compensate. Is this a terrible idea? ? ... perhaps I could save a little and get another RIF for shorter play styles - but then it would be a shame to waste the potential of the Fusion engine, huge air tank and super fast regulator.

The kit I have so far ...

- VFC Avalon sabre

- Polarstar Fusion v2

- 1-4x primary arms classic variable scope

- Polarstar Mr gen 2 regulator

- Shark composite 68cl 4500psi tank

- Amped HPA leads

The kit I’m considering, includes:

- PRS height adjustable stock

- Longer barrel (internal and external)

- Xcortech X3300W chrono suppressor 

- Mid cap mags

Anything else I’m missing?

i used to run .32's mainly in mine with .48's saved for special occasions (but i would still run them on auto like a madman)

the only real difference is gonna be in your dwell settings, however if you get it dialed in on one ammo weight then just note down the settings before dialing it in for another.

hop wise, well it depends how you set it up, but i have had guns that needed shimming to lift the super heavies and as a result would space anything too light. this is probably more relevant if you're jumping massively in power level between battle rifle and dmr.

bearing in mind, whilst semi-locking on an hpa can easily be done electronically, some sites might require mechanical locking too/wont be happy with the notion of being able to switch to auto even on a mechanically locked system by spending 30 seconds in the fcu menu.

wouldn't bother with a longer barrel- stick a big foam can on the end and enjoy the quietness instead.
