adam bussey Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 40 minutes then I'll have a vid (not promising that it exciting)
Moose87 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Ed dunno if your wanting a new cam, the Roam2s are coming down in price, found a seller on ebay doing them for like under 100 with postage from USA its just over 100. i have had a look into the reviews and the 2 deals with the issue you have in some of your vids going from light to dark and vice verse. i would buy one right now but im going off for a trip round the world.

I'm amazed they're coming down in price now that they're no longer being made, you'd have thought it'd go up because there's a lot less supply for demand. But who am I to complain? The issue I have is that I'm over £900 overdrawn and until Uni opens again and all the students come back, I don't have a job... So until the end of September, I'm going to be completely broke. If they're still in stock once I'm out of my OD then I'll be sure to grab one. I've been looking out for other camera designs as potential replacements as well. If my camera takes another hit then it's done, I can't get a replacement lens now. =[
Moose87 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 yer i saw a comparison on the roam and roam 2 on the front of a car driving around and you could tell there was a massive difference. well i cant wait to get around the world and see other sites lol
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted August 22, 2013 Author Supporters Posted August 22, 2013 Nice one Adam, I like it when I see videos featuring me, instead of from my perspective lol, makes a nice change. The camera being on the left works quite nicely. I might experiment with it next time I play CQB.
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted August 28, 2013 Author Supporters Posted August 28, 2013 Finally got around to uploading my last video from Anzio: I've also done another video briefly going over my thoughts regarding the NAE last weekend, Zero One more generally, and the two guns I picked up whilst I was at Ground Zero:
Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Pahaha,Just when you said ''cat's eating that egg'' the video cut off for me! Perfect timing,youtube error!
Supporters jcheeseright Posted August 28, 2013 Supporters Posted August 28, 2013 100% sure now that the jamming problem you're getting with the MP7 is a combination of overlube and poorly stacked BBs in the mag. I've found with mine that it doesn't like the bolt carrier being too gunked up so I cleaned it completely and used some abbey grease on it and haven't had to touch it for a couple of months now. The other thing I noticed when watching that video was that you've got gaps in the magazine when it's filled with BBs; 06:38 is a fine example. Marui MP7 no likey gaps! the mag needs to be filled 'correctly' e.g. every bb being adjacent with no gaps caused by 2 BBs being on the left/right. I have also found that I can get jams if the last BB is on the right side of the mag instead of the left... you'll see what I mean if you fill it that way, the follower doesn't sit right and it causes all sorts of problems.

Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted August 28, 2013 Author Supporters Posted August 28, 2013 Cheers James, though the stacking of the BBs shouldn't cause the bolt to remain stuck after removing the mag. That'll be down to over lubing like you said. I need to look up a take down guide and get it all properly wiped down on the inside. Only thing is, I don't have any gas left to test it anymore, which sucks because it's insanely fun =[
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted August 29, 2013 Author Supporters Posted August 29, 2013 Part 1 of my ICS L85 review is now live, this part covers the externals:
Moose87 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Hey Ed i know you are going for the afghan spec, but from what i have heard we have stopped using the acogs and they have been replaced by something else, im unsure what it is at this time? do you know? i like the acog tho to be fair.
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted August 29, 2013 Author Supporters Posted August 29, 2013 It's a version of the new Elcan Spectre, but there isn't a direct airsoft clone of it yet. The airsoft version is the DR, but I think the one we're using now is called the OR or something. Not entirely sure. They look similar/identical though. I've taken a few points of artistic license with the loadout to account for inaccuracies though, I've based most of it around 2011, when the ACOGs were in use (they still are a bit) and I've picked up a Glock despite them coming in at the start of this year, because my Sig was dying and I'd never had any other model of pistol. My pistol holster is also not the right one. So I have cut a few corners here and there. I think the ACOG on the riser looks better than the Elcan Spectre anyway, so I'll probably keep it as it is indefinitely. Irrespective of how much other stuff changes.
Moose87 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 i wasnt digging i was genuinely interested as i didnt know. well the acog is better then that damn susat. i hated using it. be something completely different by the time i return to airsoft BOOO
Supporters sp00n Posted August 29, 2013 Supporters Posted August 29, 2013 There is clones (if its the right one) >>> http://www.aliexpress.com/promotion/sport_elcan-specter-promotion.html I have no experience with aliexpress though.

Moose87 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 i tell you what mate, after watching most of the review of the internals im very tempted by one of these. my friggin SR16 is a nightmear to take apart. the more i take it apart the more im sure its gonna break. this looks so simple to take apart and modify if required. might get one and then repair/modify my SR16 into a DMR.
