I see a lot of people, especially speedsofters/cqb players using their middle finger on the trigger. Is that actually faster than using your index?

 

It can be for some - when I played paintball with mechanical guns (Autocockers), I was faster shooting with my middle finger than my index.

I'm assuming in the buffer tube.

Must be very short given how close the thing is to his mask. Probably doesn't actually fire, he just runs around shouting 'pew' at people

Ah, you mean the picture, not the advert. I think it’s an HPA gun.

dreamer or chancer?

Pistol is £150 new

Mags £22,

So 60% would be much closer to £150 , without case, cosmetic bits & holster

Sure all the other bits are in there as well....thoughts

I prefer it.  You get a stronger and more direct pull, and can "point shoot", literally pointing your index finger at your doomed victim.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_shooting

 

It was taught as a technique into the early 20th century but has fallen out of favour because of fairly obvious issues with blowback slides, and with trigger discipline, as covered here: http://www.theppsc.org/Staff_Views/Aveni/Vermont_Technique.htm

Jesus wept, I mean, if they were punting it on for postage cost with a mag, maybe.  But £35 for plastic spares, no thank you, I'll pass on that even if I have become a bit P90-curious recently.

Lol, Another one trying to redefine the definition of "new" in order to justify a high price, in that alleged hour of gameplay it might have had 5000 bbs through it ffs.

Also I can't exactly place why but people referring to airsoft guns as "weapons" bothers me.

I used to use that technique when playing Time Crisis in the arcades, it does work. But funnily enough  I havent tried it at airsoft, I guess as I pick my targets and dont spam the trigger.

its also something worth questioning as to why he's selling it after only an hours use.

 

now granted the ppsh isn't exactly the worlds most ergonomic gun and maybe he just doesn't like the feel of it, but why not specifically say that's why he's selling?

To grift a profit on it, it seems.  £280 including postage (plus whatever PayPal fees he slaps on the top) for something that can be had for under £180 delivered from bbguns4less (with 7% 'secret' discount), if they had it in stock.

 

Which they don't, so he does have a fair point.  It's a case of how much you want one, and where else you could get it.

 

Cheeky fecker listing it as new though.  Sites shouldn't even allow this.  "Didn't work last time I used or" or "Worked last time I used it" should be the categories.
