I'd also have to note that he's only claiming 1.8J from a 2.55J spring, so the air seal is suspect. And a laser though. Has he got the only scope ever made without crosshairs? Given the minimal chance of them staying zeroed together, which one is he using for aiming? Dazzle pattern camouflage. Oh, sure, it means the other team will spot him a mile away, but they won't know what range his gun is at, or which direction it's moving (I guess they could just aim straight it it, like everybody does, at everyone, all the time). Or if he's wearing a ghillie, maybe they'll think it's a spooky ghost gun just floating along, and get too scared to shoot at him. Really though, if that tape is easy to get off, why wouldn't you take it off before listing it?

that laser mount though

I don't think the video has any relevance to BB ballistics. First off he's using hollow points which don't have an equivalence in airsoft. What he's 'discovering' is the well understood projectile speed vs impact damage trade-off. This is the fundamental dilemma between the two most common military rounds. Slower 7.62 will do more damage to un armoured target but less penetration to armoured ones. Higher speed 5.56 has more penetrating ability for armoured targets but less damage to unarmoured ones. But none of this applies to BBs using the magnus effect.

I said it on fb and i'll say it now, wires through thevhop unit was a genius move. It ensured the bbs had top and side spins ensuring lazer accuacy.....(/s obvs)

A bit of a tm binge for me: NGRS URGI PTS EPM X6 Magpul M Lok handstop TM Detonics .45 I must admit i fall into the finding NGRS "recoil" gimmicky faction but i cannot deny its out of the box performance! The two things that i am surprised/disappointed by are the lack of guiselle markings on the rail system and the lack of resistance on the bolt release. The Detonics is actually surprisingly good for the first few shots given its diminutive barrel length but after the first 5/6 rounds that quickly drops off due to the tiny magazines miniscule gas capacity but its good fun none the less and lets face it this isnt a RIF that you purchase for its effectiveness in a skirmish. These are my first modern TM purchases and i must say I'm impressed, they perform excellently out of the box and feel great in the hand. The plastics are excellent and nothing like the cheap rattly plastics of old.

I see and hear often about people wanting to and looking to power up their RIFs to the maximum permitted on anyone site. People seem to think that throwing more energy in to something will make it go faster and that contrary to what is believed, it is counter intuitive to use lower power as its often more effective. The best demonstration of this reality is a youtuber that made a video about his fire arm that was a PCP based rifle, long barrel and the calibre to make your eyes water but the principle is still the same, you just have to imagine that the 1150 grain slug is 3.08 grain BB (aka 0.2g) So rather than me going on about it, watch the video and first be stunned at the pure awesome that helium is and then check your faces on the shots of the ballistics gel and the high speed camera. You will see in the demo that the power in PSI from the High Pressure Whip in play, is lowered in stages to find the "Sweet spot" in the power setting to both gain accuracy and delivery of the energy, so it dumps that excess and as you can see what the 1150 grain pellet does is pretty scary. So apply that principle to airsoft guns, less power means better results all around, its a question of finding the sweet spot for your BB's to deliver the whack they need to.

Maybe he was hoping to disguise himself as a zebra

Well they should also be making sure guns are cleared too. As a business they have a duty of care to paying customers (especially under 18s) and should be actively enforcing safety rules, rather than just paying them lip service. By being proactive and stopping potential incidents they wouldn't have to worry about reacting after any damage is done

I Messaged him through Instagram, but I imagine FB would work just as well. He has just been away on a milsim, so am awaiting a reply on how to actually pay etc, but I dare say he will get back to you.

Didn't that also happen in the safe zone? If so then imo the staff are responsible to a point as they should be making sure nobody is walking in with a mag in the gun Edit: just read the article and I agree that the site fucked up big time through negligence

Mag coupler.

Hawke vantage 3-9x scope. Optics are nice and clear, nice eye relief, and it feels really well made. I got a ris mount for an rmr sight too. Just gotta get home and camo her up!

Those seem to be some soft metal slugs. My guess is that it works like a bullet, and expands into the rifling. The more pressure it has behind it, the more it expands, creating more friction and slowing down the slug.

You will be happy with it! I am thinking about putting an longer innerbarrel in mine soon and covering it with a either a new handguard or suppressor

As promised in my previous post, and in the spirit of the thread.. i give you pics of my recently acquired acetech bifrost... Amazing bit of kit

Anyone want to pay £350 for a shagged VFC MP7? https://prefired.co.uk/ads/boneyard-umarex-vfc-mp7-aeg-v1/

Tom from AATV does them. It will just make it look a bit longer. Uses another scope ring to hold it at the eye end of the sight.

so £145 with a leaf sight oooooorrrrr brand new £115 (3 in stock) with change to find a sight if you need (purely cosmetic), doubt postage is over £30 either https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/gp-military-type-m203-grenade-launcher-short

Nice to see that the consistency of that site is still the same unsafe place….

And a rape dungeon is pretty damn good for struggle cuddles, but it's not anything to be proud of.

Been there today with 3 of my friends. Cons: The worst, there was no "chrono" in place, so every shot I took HURT. I could very well show up with an 8 joule gun and start destroying the place. The 2nd worst, the regulars. They cheated and got away with it. Rules changed mid game to suit them. Incident 1 : Shot a guy from 10m, he took 4 bbs to the shoulder, he crouched and then ran off into the bushes. Never seen again. Incident 2 : Snuck up behind a sniper, tapped him on the shoulder and said " knife kill ". He raises his hands up and says he surrenders. I lower my gun, he shoots me in the face from about 30cm. The bb shattered through my mask and I had to spit the fragments out. Please stay away from this place, there is a horror accident just waiting to happen. The people who play here have no concept of sportsmanship.

if anyone was wondering the VFC GBB MP5 Solid stock fits straight on.

Glad you like it! Probably going to stick with the curved mags. It's going to be used to fulfil a number of loadout/roles such as Delta, Blood Diamond, Pmc, CIA etc So its not going to a replica of anything specific, but an impression of a lot of things. Hopefully getting a 3d printed sight extension for the back of the Compm2 to mimic an earlier Aimpoint a bit more, and working on a flashlight holder to fit round the barrel at the front sight base. Paint to follow probably too.

Something like spitfire tracers is fine - it’s just a light Players using blank firers in a game are an absolute no. (Even if they are UK legal with sealed barrels etc) I don’t like the slippery slope trope (ban this today and they will take everything) But for airsoft skirmishing the ‘realism’ factor is the only reason why the skirmisher defence was added, establishing skirmishing as a level of ‘playing reenactment’ Stating that we don’t need any realism means there is no need for RIFs Definitely no to flame flashes out of a barrel, yes if you want it with light up flashes, yes to appropriate recreational pyro and yes to suitably managed ‘display’ pyro

I use my spitfire with muzzle flash on night games. It all adds to the realism.

All yours for £75 more than new. Yes you get extras but they're worth nowhere near that much. Also wtf is going on with the electrical tape?
