The 'What have you just broken' Thread

As well as what feels like breaking my back, the sole fell off my shoes today, so I had to find a quick way to stick it back together

COBBLERS

I got a pair of trainers like them, absolutely shagged, holes in sole, back coming away but man are they so damn comfy

 
Yeah.. so I broke this today. Its the inner star shaped part of an M4 delta ring. I had my shiny new omega rail attached but it was wobbling a little bit so I removed it and hey presto,the inner star shaped part is completely destroyed. I must of had it on too tight but I think the star shaped bit should have been stronger than that. Can anyone recommend a strong replacement delta ring?

huuuuhh, sigh.....

Lost my battery and my AK's gearbox piston is stuck at the pinnacle of the piston tooth rack with the spring fully compressed.... I wonder how long it will survive the high tension until something breaks...

"gud bai ma luvr, gud bai frieeeennnnd, u hav bean da 1, u hav bean da 1 4 me..... *piano solo*....."

still a piece o shyte

 
It won't break. The spring will loose a bit of it's strength, resulting a bit less fps.

If the spring is high quality, even that won't be noticeable.

 
My PDW, again.

First time I snapped the soldering on the motor, got new wires and a new motor.

Put in new wiring and trigger contacts, then the wires snap off the connectors after putting the upper receiver on.

I swear I'm just going to permanently move over to GBBRS, sick of wires and connectors.

 
Me too. Now on morphine day in, day out... causes as many problems as it solves :s Wish I could get a body transplant!

what happened?

I was the numpty who had an injury at AI500, was running then tried to turn and stop immediately and at the same time on gravel, my leg gave way instead, and I dislocated both my hip and knee, AND tore all the tendons and hurt my ACL again -.-

ouch. I had no idea about AI500, didn't really follow it. That means about 8 weeks to fully reheal? I have torn all my ligaments in my ankle before, worse than breaking it (generally) although sometimes if you break it really bad that can become serious.

Hope your ok :)

I have peripheral neuropathy which gives me constant pain in my extremities and it never gets to a stage of feeling used to it - the other week it just got all too much for me and i sorta lost the plot with my GP. I'm supposedly under the care of the hospital pain team but it has been taking forever to make any progress as they try me on various weird pills. So basically i insisted they stop fucking around and jump to something which would definitely work immediately, regardless of side effects, or i would source some of Afghanistan's finest and see how i could get on with that onboard. So they admitted me for observation while they slowly increased morphine. It does cause enough problems through side effects, but at least it works for the pain, whereas before i had weird side effects to live with and the various drugs didn't do enough for the pain...

 
good idea but so crazy and it will increase the spamming -LOL- :)

My SMLE exploded! :o

The gas release valve blew. I managed to find the spring and e C clip was inside the magazine. Apart from that all I have is an empty shell.

I really need this fixed fast but I cannot find another valve like it anywhere. I have emailed evike and ironairsoft.

 
Aha I found the main inner bit, it had gone across the room and was inside a cardboard box. This is a sizable bit of brass and it had actually punched through a layer of cardboard 3 meters away after deflecting off my scope mount (otherwise it would have been my face).

 
Well, it's good that you found it, but what a bummer! Can it be fixed with the original parts or will it need a new valve?

I have bodged a repair. I don't trust it so will try and replace it.
