Picked up a new hop up unit. Thing is fairly robust, beats the Lonex and Retro Arms for build quality.

Nice! Be interesting to see if it's all it's cracked up to be!

Mate FFS, this is probably the most knowledgeable & helpful forum around, yet your just pissing over well intentioned advice with smug insults & hearsay, not the way to endear yourself in the future, last time we had one like you was a guy called Duff, got on the wrong side of literally everyone, & is now conspicuous in his absence lol.

Me, I have no understanding of the science of piston volume Vs barrel length etc, but I do know about decent hop set up trump's pretty much everything else, but in 20 years of playing I've seen long barreled guns with the accuracy & range of a garden sprinkler, & short barreled guns, such as my mates TM MP7 AEP, that had the range & accuracy of a NASA laser.

So take a chill pill, accept that all our "guns" are glorified catapults, there are no guarantees, even with the most expensive ones, & enjoy the forums.

Well, this was fun. Haven't had keyboard fisticuffs in a while.

 

We're obviously being trolled now though....

Yeah, at this point he's just kicking over pieces and shitting on the chessboard.

I want one of these, so I'd be very interested to hear how it goes.

Thing is very sturdy when its attached to the barrel. Tried a few different hop up rubbers for fit. A Lonex didn't stand a chance of getting in. Then went to a Prometheus purple which barely fit and tore near the barrel end. Moment of dread trying to get it out but it eventually came back out. Might have fit if I had trimmed off a mm or so. Lastly tried out a G&G green which fitted snugly but well. Still waiting on other parts before I can reassemble it the build but first impressions are promising.

Any issues with mounting in/on the outer barrel? I know that some E&Ls need new holes drilling to marry up to the front of the GB properly.

I am absolutely baffled how a post saying words to the effect of 'you don't need a RIF with a longer barrel to perform well in woodland games, but if you want to buy one go for it' turned into this. But whatever, at the rip roaring age of 30 I'm clearly very senile and that's somehow a statement that needed to be debated... for 2 entire pages.

 

I wish you good luck with whatever it is you wind up buying, I for one am thoroughly looking forward to using my 'specialised platform' at my next CQB games. I've seemingly been incorrectly calling it a pistol, but now I know better...  so thanks for that.

 

It's pretty simple how it happened actually. I mentioned it before. folks being way to eager, literally foaming at the mouth to "assert their knowledge".

 

Me: I wanna buy a RIF suitable for outdoors as opposed to a snub nosed CQB RIF

 

The Old boys: Blasphemy! *Crowd groan in collective shock* He wants to to do what?

 

Some guy: Why doesn't he just use that? Is he saying barrell length is the determining factor for range *In whiney nasal voice*

 

Me: No..... I would rather just buy another RIF? M4, SA, L85 platform with one more suited for this range? 
 

Followed by a bunch of nonsensical, misquotes, ramblings and uninformative information.

Didn't you 'tap out' 2 hours ago? Fuck off.

 

Apparently I'm here so logic and reasoning would suggest that didn't occur.....I know this premise is hard for you to understand but that's the logistics of this.

- A friend visits your home and says he's leaving your residence....Your friend is still there. So by default he hasn't left since he is in fact still inside your residence.

I recently got one too. No issues with Maple leaf rubber. The barrel clip was very tight on the PDI barrel but a little cleaning up of the clips edges and it provides a very nice and secure fit. Now just waiting for the RIF it is going to go in (stuck with UPS).

Was going to say I haven't any E&Ls at the moment but have a friends AKM I was doing a bit of work on. Will have a looksy and get back to you.

Come on guys. A little misunderstanding on both parties sides does not need to escalate into this. You are driving this thread well of topic with an unnecessary argument.

A multipage off topic argument on an airsoft forum, who'd have thought it?

 

Can we all just heed these wise words and move on.


Size matters not.

Not quite how remember it. More like:

- Uninformed, low post count noob comes onto the forums with his two-tone 'specialist platform'

- Makes comments about barrel length

- Told length doesn't matter compared to other factors

- Berates the experienced hand on here that have been building guns for years

- Spouts off stuff about physics, experiments and 'do some research'

- Is also an arrogant tosser about it

- Calls everyone old, senile and incoherent

 

Yep, that sums it up.

 

Why do you keep mentioning two toned like your Toy gun is better than my Toy gun? We're both playing Soldier with Toy guns.... only I am a 20 year old and you are old enough to be my dad. Hence these dementia laden posts from you

Lol, if you'd visited my residence you'd still be there too..........

Probably in a freezer in the basement 😜

Bro lets not get violent, it's one thing to joke and rib each other online but saying that crap is another. Besides given your age I could probably spank two of you at the same time.

Ok you just had to keep going. Two Tone definitely makes you a shit muncher.

 

Now the experienced people have addressed your point. You disagree. so why keep going, you're just gonna alienate yourself.

At the grand old age of 39, yes, I could be your father. You would have been 5 when I started playing Airsoft, and -1 when I started playing Paintball.

 

The reason I mention the Two-tone is because A) only a fucking idiot gets a £350 gun two-toned and B) It shows your inexperience.

 

Please bring us up to date with your real-world airsoft experience that backs up the bollocks you've been coming out with.

Righto - I vote that we all move on now - otherwise we'll lock the thread will get locked and cleaned up.

We need, like, an arguement thread in OffTopic or something.

 

Apologies, I didn't see this when I made my post

I responded that's all. I was more than willing to stop. 

Alienating myself? Well I have definitely come to the conclusion I can't really get on with Old Folks. Set in stone ways and refusal to admit wrong. Two traits I can't stomach
