Moderators Tackle Posted March 17, 2021 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2021 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.

DerDer Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited March 17, 2021 by DerDer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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). DerDer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence these dementia laden posts from you 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.
