To SRC , or not to SRC, that is the question :

Hi guys!

This afternoon I was given a DE M58B from a friend who doesn't want it anymore and he gave me a bottle (2000 ~) of 0.12g bb's what can i do with them as i know the will feck up my hop up rubber ?

I'm thinking of making a mini-gun like this

Would this be a good use of the little buggers or do you lot know of a better use for them

And no i will not just bin them

Does anyone know if the gun is 1/2 decent as i may bring it to the next skirmish i go to if it passes the chrono

Hm, it would be good as a back up, but not as a primary.

Yeah i was thinking it for a secondary for the rental G36.

DE apparently make pretty decent shotties according to a few friends of mine

was/am considering one myself when money allows

Haha He was throwing it out one the basis that the mag well spring was buggered but upon internal fiddling (no peado or homo) it seems like an easy fix , until i can find a half decent spring for it i will use a bit of velcro or something to keep it in .

A team ain't got nothing on me XD

I hope the Hop rubber isn't pooped after the .12's he put through it ....

The problem with 0.12g BB's isn't much, if anything, to do with the hop rubber. You need very little hop to fire such light BB's, so you can't swap between mags of different weights without changing the hop setting, or mix weights in one mag. The problem is that most 0.12g BB's are really sh!t...

They can easily shatter inside the barrel and scratch it and they also are more prone to having moulding marks left behind on them, or other defects that make them less than spherical. You also find scraps of plastic from the moulding machinery mixed in with them.

Crap 0.12g BB's can be used in 40mm grenades, Goblin mini-shotguns, and gas powered BB shower thrown grenades, with little to no chance of problems. Fair-to-middling & good quality 0.12g BB's (and there are some - Madbull & Bulldog for eg) can be used in weak spring shotties for extra range, but they're bad for accuracy in any slight breeze, but that doesn't matter much in CQB environments, and they could be pretty impressive in tri-shot shotguns due to extra FPS.

I have a Gen III SRC G36KV and, apart from the stock hop rubber, I'm happy with it as a platform for customising an AEG to suit me exactly. Here's a thread I made about it's developement.

I have a DE Shotty which shoots quite well but the bb tends to not be hot enough for someone to realise that they have been hit , i may have a crack with a .20 on stef's chrono on saturday . You will be able to spot me a mile off as i will have a Just Bloody Bright Guns orange DE Shotgun ( note to self spray the fcuk out of that when i get a UKARA) which the front end has a lovely load of 'tactical' tape on the front to stop barrel wobble .

I'm looking at getting a 'nade launcher some time in the future so i may keep those for that as they are bulldogs.

Edit : upon tinkering i found the Shotgun has NO see-able hop up rubber yet it has a slide to adjust said rubber . Strange me thinks :wacko:

Hope the weather holds up for everyone at SAN and everywhere else for that matter . :lol:
