When my l86 lost a ton of power it turned out to be the nozzle o-ring being worn down. Check the bucking looks good and is positioned correctly. Could also be the piston head o-ring,

Paradise? I miss paradise ? Hopefully they use it in two weeks. Shame about the (non) hit takers, it's such a rarity at worthing. glad the marshals were on top of it for you guys. I guess I sort of had an airsoft day, me and a mate went up to the range at worthing for the afternoon. He's got himself a cyma vsr, changed the hop rubber and barrel, and it's right on the power limits. Though it certainly needs some bedding in and tuning, it's hitting 75m with a 0.4 and some lobbing. So I think he's going to have a good time next game day, or hate sniping, one of those ?

This bush seems to have a red dot mounted on it?

Lexan, hacksaw, sandpaper, and about 30 minutes of hand cramp.

Oh quids in, my games at the local zoo are gonna be so much better with this piece of kit.

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!

I was, with my perfectly concealed flamingo shirt! There was some great yellow ad hoc squads pushing flanks and bases all day. Some wonderfully aggressive play from everyone it felt like. We somehow got wonky watch and all the barrels out in about 15-20 minutes. My friend definitely found that out, lol. MVP 100% goes to whoever dropped that training smoke on sandbag in the final minutes. Gave us the cover needed to get sandbag and diffuse the bomb.

Was a good day, some great objectives to play, some excellent team play with mot of my friends now on radios, and I always love being able to play the whole site. My rifle is performing nicely, just needs to be made a touch more accurate. New pistol was pretty disappointing, even after I thought it was lifting bbs. probably just needs a new rubber though, so there's still hope. Also got shot in the ol' jewels, so that's one off the bucket list I hope to never repeat.

Raven R226. I'm just gonna stop hoping to stock nuprol guns, I cannot in good conscience sell this thing to someone when it can't hop a 0.2 out the box. Looks lovely externally, slide is nice and smooth, action is nice and smooth, but the hop is just... wafer thin as stock. Decided write this one off and buy it myself. Shimmed (read: put tape under) the hop arm until I can get something more permanent sorted out. At least it hops 0.25s now even with a drop in power. We'll see how it handles the field this weekend. On the other hand, Swiss arms adaptx holster, really, really happy with it. I didn't think a universal quick release holster was really doable but this is quite nice. And it's ambidextrous! I've fitted it to the R226 and my WE EU17 Gen 4, and it can fit both no worries. Takes some adjustment, some parts are a bit fiddly, but overall a fairly simple process. Again, field testing this weekend.

A follow on from my AK21 purchase last week. I ran the gun last weekend and was pretty impressed, it was hopping 0.36s to 50m, even while dropping to 0.65 joules with the hop set. So this week I've been in the gearbox giving it a higher volume cylinder, a notch cut, which has solved the power drops with no hop, weather has been too awful to test at range though. A couple of fun things I've since found, the shimming was pretty damn good, which it had to be 'cos the inside was bone dry. Maybe there was a slight hint of grease from ages past, but there was close to nothing in the box. The inside has been painted too, so it's got a slightly rough texture. At least it's got a pretty face. ?

How's the quality? I've been trying to get some vn midcaps, only managed to snag 2 so far (and mistakenly bought some high caps *shakes fist*)

What an amazing day at Worthing! New gun is wonderful, hops .36s out to 50m even while lacking in power a bit, so there's room for improvement. Even my goggle fan running out of power and a morning of not being able to see much (I got it sorted at lunch, and a new love for revision anti-fog wipes) couldn't put much of a damper on the amazing rolling defence game of the afternoon. Some excellent defense and enemy callouts from yellow, and some great coordinated pushes from blue. My new camo hood and loadout was proven to work. Almost got stepped on a few times, and there were many claims of a sniper (It's a <1j aeg) while I held the flank with a few others for a good 10 minutes. Took about 6 of them to weed me out ? All in all a wonderful day, one of those where you realise how much you love this sport.

Haha, yeah I really wanna grab one of those at some point, just a big chunk of beautiful metal. I will say this rivals my ICS L86 in weight, if that gives some perspective.

SoI picked up a Nuprol Delta AK21. It's a very cool looking gun imo, with its real steel counterpart being very close to the ACR, both conceptually and visually is pretty cool. With the RIF version being based on an m4, it's easy to get parts for. Speaking of, it's not a gun I would recommend anyone run stock, the barrel was in a truly awful state. Much worse than any of my other guns that I hadn't cleaned for about a year. Fortunately I never planned to keep much of the internals, so a new barrel, while annoying that it's necessary, isn't so bad for me. I also got a prowin hop unit and a modify ryukoso flat hop rubber, which will be range and accuracy tested on sunday. But initially it all fits beautifully and the airseal upped my fps by 10. What I did buy this gun for are its externals, which are wonderful. It's heavy as hell, weighting about 3kgs by itself, being almost full metal, besides grip and stock. If it wasn't heavy enough, I also bought a Nuprol Phantom (Elcan repro) with a fixed 4x zoom, and it's a beautiful optic. Really clear, no perceptual loss of light. The adjustment dial is super stiff so I don't fear it moving at all. 600g though, so it adds a fair bit of weight. I plan to run this gun as a sneaky build for now, it'll probably end up being a DMR, or a <1.14j quiet build, probably ending up HPA'd at some point in its life. I'm pretty happy with the wrap job I've done, using a jack pyke 3D camo hat as a scope cover, with their tough tape and stealth tape to cover the gun. The true test will be on sunday though. My goal is to surprise a few people. Nude Dressed

Oof. Do you have anything around your neck? I've always worn a shemagh or scrim scarf around my neck for this reason.

I was also hoping for more bright shirts, but it is what it is. Still somehow got team killed a few times ? I've played a few times down in paradise, hopefully it gets more use, though it's proper creepy right now, with all the canopy cover and dead branches around.

Even as the saps that had to attack you it was a fantastic day. A ton of fighting, and team kills, as both teams were forced into one direction to attack the scientists. And Paradise is hell to attack an entrenched team, especially if you're wearing a bright white shirt ?

That... is not inaccurate, lol. I don't think the spawns helped you much, especially as we had people pushing through the woodland to deny the spawns of your main base, meaning a hill climb to spawn back. Though you were certainly giving us a hard time over the full field! There was a good fight for Tower at the end of the day. I do love the larger field games with multiple objectives, I think I prefer them to the more focused meat grinder of the usual games. Worthing is also certainly a site where mega range doesn't give you a huge advantage, especially in spring/summer, as you said. So I did get a nice four shots, four kills with my pistol after having taken a weapon hit about 15 minutes earlier. Definitely the most action it's seen in a day, lol.

We're back! Holy cow, what a day. Blue team dominated all day, barely lost out on a rolling defence game, but won everything else. The teamwork and positioning was great. I had a great time sneaking through some bushes with a few others to take a base, and on said rolling defence game, we had a fantastic push over the ridgeline with a ton of smokes going down. Had a classic youtube montage moment, holding a flanks and taking out maybe 10-15 people before they got me. Kinda wish I had a camera just for that part of the game. Even my l86 having some hop issues couldn't put a damper on my day.

Did anyone go out yesterday? And how's your new life as a mud person?

Well, despite a wonderful day out yesterday, and finally proof that the gum really does work ?, turns out the trigger group on my l86 broke ☹️ . The part that hold the trigger return spring in place has twisted, somehow, so it get stuck shooting. Such a small part but it will likely require a full trigger group replacement for about £40. Pretty sure I'm out of warranty since it's been a year since I got it. I'll have a word with ICS. Bleh. At least it was last game, so my mate using this didn't lose much playtime.

Well, hello there. Me and my friends were chatting with you after that game. That defence was ridiculous. I think the other team, with you in the mix, were taking fire from three sides. ?

TM AUG High Cycle. Unfortunately I think it might be over the rps limit at worthing airsoft. Videos really don't do it justice.
