  1. Nothing quite like crushed BB bits scattered around your gun either
  2. Aluminium nozzles are almost always a bad idea tbh
  3. Bots on the entire internet mate. It's a Dead Internet after all.
  4. £350 brand new if you don't use UK suppliers though. Also "if it's as described" is a big if IMO.
  5. £400 for an MP7 with three extra mags is a bit silly.
  6. What gearbox? They're gas blowback replicas. How does a shorter barrel put more stress on bearings? God I hope this is ChatGPT vomit because it makes zero sense.
  7. I was trying to be a bit facetious and failed lmao.
  8. I was watching it through a 3X scope. I had just zeroed it to 74m at the site range that day. I'm uh, not fond of arcing shots as that's usually only necessary if you have a bad hopup or are trying to hit outside your usual range. This was at about 40-50m. That part of my comment was mostly made in jest.
  9. I mean in many cases they were looking right at me
  10. https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/custom-equipment/custom-equipment_1/knights-armaments-grip-and-rail-covers_i83827 "Real embosed markings, in new condition" Me being able to read the markings and see they're not very real looking
  11. Had my second game day since breaking my ankle yesterday, at Sextion8 up here in Scotland. Still having to take it steady, especially as the site is both very rough terrain being a plantation forest site, and had gotten a little boggy with the rain lately. Managed to get to about 2:30 before my hip seized up and I went back to the car for a lie down. First outing for my bolt action Mk12 and my VFC AK74M. The Mk12 performed excellently, absolutely uncanny range on it. It's really nice having AR ergonomics on a sniper. The VFC AK was just a solid performer and very fun. I seem to have a very strange hop issue with both guns though, if anyone has some advice. I'd shoot at a guy and watch the BB fly right to them, but just before impact it would disappear. Very strange. Many shots where I was sure I saw the BB hit through a magnified scope, it simply didn't. Maybe a trick of the light? My opponents seemed to flinch at the BB disappearing but appeared unhit. That aside, very fun day overall. Hip issues aside I managed to keep up and keep pushing for most of the day, and I think that's not bad going. Still having trouble explaining what Airsoft is to my Physio but she says it sounds like good exercise either way.
  12. This sounds like so much fun, I love the LARP aspect
  13. Maybe get yourself some earpro if you're running it on CO2 btw. Especially indoors it's genuinely loud enough to warrant it.
  14. 42% Positive on Airsoft Hub, fuck me
  15. The price is absolutely insane So, on brand for the Joker, I guess
  16. TM o-rings are nitrile, they don't absorb silicon oil
  17. Garand Thumb inspired me to get divorced
  18. That's a damning sentence right there
  19. Yeah same, the price is ridiculous. Mine has been great so far though.
  20. These are both very different ergonomically and in terms of how you run them tbh. For the URGI it's a featherweight, aluminium, short arse modern carbine. You have so much space to attach tactical toys you don't need and it still won't be weighed down. For the AK, she's old dawg. It's a 35 year old modernisation of a 50 year old design. It's hefty, especially up front. Attachments aren't as easy to get going as on the URGI, but there's aftermarket options. Both have decent kick, though the AK wins it. It's a lot of steel getting thrown around, genuinely get yourself some kind of earpro for indoor games. The URGI is prone to hop issues while the AK is pretty solid. That said there's a million ways to carry an AR mag vs 5.45 AK mags. You can buy all the cool SEAL operator kit your heart desires. Real AK load bearing gear is hard to get because Ukraine and Russia are currently throwing the last of the Soviet reserves at each other. Prices on Smersh are insane given how shit it is. I personally lean towards the AK but it's not a svelte and modern gun, so you need to keep that in mind. Absolute tonne of fun though, and it's Airsoft anyway.
  21. Yeah different models of VFC have different materials in the parts, and it's tricky to work out which come with what a lot of the time.
  22. Load the shell normally, get close to the chrono, and put the barrel so that only the top inner barrel will actually fire through the chrono. The other two should just smash against the table or whatever. Yeah it sucks, but like the others said if you just fire three BBs through the chrono it gives bad readings, but also if you fire with only one barrel loaded the gas vents out the other two and the measured power on that one BB is much lower.
