Looking to get started in Airsoft, would like to know if there are any good sites/clubs near and around Huddersfield.

When it comes to AEG motors, is there such a thing as too much torque?

Probably not.  Too much voltage can get you overspin and double-shooting on semi though.

Question:

would a very low outdoor temperature affect the performance of a hop rubber?

(like 0 to -1 degree outside )

On an aeg I add ?

I believe so. The colder the rubber, the harder it is, the harder it is the less effect it will have on a bb.

Dunno, you planning on doing a load out to match  ?

dont have time...!....although i may sweat more :lol:

Need a new battery charger, one that can charge more than 1 at a time 

Any recommendations, there was one people said was good, can’t access site on work laptop so can’t search easily for it

I’ve been using a kong charger via balance leads from Firesupport since 2015 so feel it’s time to upgrade now ?

finally logged in on laptop....so in red...?

I'm presuming for LiPo, if so then your best source is going to be (reputable) RC shops, i.e. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/electric/chargers/dual-output/quad-output/built-in-balancer?

Any idea where can I find a barrel nut tool for my 308?

Just for context, I'm changing the dust cover and I need to remove the barrel nut to take the pin out that cover pivots on. It's got raised lugs on it so I could get a set of grips on it but having the correct tool's a better idea.

308 is not really helpful what manufacturer made the gun? It maybe proprietary.

oops, missed off the important bit it's for my G&G 308.

Looks like @concretesnail has had this very issue before - how did you solve it?

@MadhouseI ended up using a pin spanner. That way I could spin the nut that's recessed inside the collar that holds the rail. 

 

[Madhouse]

Thanks @concretesnail I didn’t know adjustable pin spanners were a thing! Was thinking it’d be handy if my angle grinder one fitted.

Anyone ever tried one of those US Freight forwarders that give you a US shipping address to get orders forwarded to the UK from?

I order a lot stuff from the States and the extortionate shipping is starting to take a toll.  I was wondering if there's any saving on shipping costs?

There's Halo Mill. That's only an indoor field though I think. Otherwise you need to go further afield for outdoor sites.

I want to zero my sights, but the best I can do at home and indoors is 5m to target, is there some kind of calculator to work out how far below the target I need to be in order to be zero'd in for say 20m?

Hmmm, I think I did see a video about this on YT quite recently, but I'd also have to say it feels a bit moot.  BB's don't travel in quite the same trajectory as real bullets, because of the hop.  They tend to fly 'flat-flat-flat-up-(and then straight down)' or 'flat-flat-flat-down'.  So really the calculation only makes sense if you have no hop applied, and are using a pure ballistic trajectory.  At 'proper' range (ie. at 30, 40, 50m out) the hop applied makes all the difference to how the BB behaves and the point of impact, and you'll be tuning that in the field.

I sight my guns in my garden at 15m, and it's all about the windage rather than elevation - making sure the barrel and sights are in line!
All the real work with tuning hop and sights can only be done once I can shoot out to 40m

Edit: found a blog page and the video...

[Madhouse]

Thanks @RostokMcSpoons that’s just the thing I was looking for.

Got the windage sorted but it’s the elevation that had me wondering. Was about to get my calculator and put the Pythagoras I learned back in GCSE maths to use, but that website will save me the embarrassment.
