Sounds like a butch testosterone injected russian female weightlifter. Kind of like it for that gun.

Oh yeah - i forgot to mention: before snapping the turret off I had to de-solder the red wire from the interior and afterwards, obviously, i had to reconnect the red wire to the chassis, so i drilled a 1.5mm hole in the base of the turret and then used a diamond tipped grinding bit, similar to something a dentist might use, to hollow out the interior of the hole, so that when i melted solder into it, it could not come out (again 'obviously' the plan is that the solder should not become disconnected from the chassis and the hollowed out hole also provides more surface area to which the solder can adhere, but since it may get hit by a BB at some point, even if the shock does cause the solder to delaminate (or whatever the correct word is for a broken weld) it will not come out of the hole so the sight ought to continue working, if intermittently, until i can get the iron back on it.

i've recently been looking at getting an amplifier for my m4. The cheapest I seen was about £9 delivered but it's so short I wondered if it'd actually amplify the sound, so I made my own.
Total cost was £3 as I already had the paint.
The sound is louder and you can hear a noticeable popping sound from the piston head hitting the cylinder head. Actually quiet impressed at how well it's turn out for the price.

Just made a slight cut at the bottom so it sits flush with the sights and should stop any tilting that might of happened from knocking it. When the paint dries I'll show you what I mean.

My latest bit of diy. I wanted a lipo adapter for an aep, but could not justify paying the silly prices to buy one or sacrifice a battery. So I made one on my 3d printer, the contacts are just a bit of beer can for now. I plan on doing a new one, with copper contacts and tighter tolerances. Cost about 3p.

part 1 of my "bomb" prop build
nootropic design defuseable clock. its only the V1 board but i have already found a way to hack an extra output onto it for a siren and/or maroon
its going inside an old MOD mortar case B) and i am looking at doing 3d printed internals, and some lights controlled by an arduino .... just thinking about some sort of sound mod too

Ooops, just shorted out a LIPO cutting the old tamiya connectors off 
Frantic run to the garden with a suddenly very warm battery.

Aside from blowing up a battery I have managed to fit a flat hop to the F88a2 and succesfully swapped the connectors on my one surviving battery
Definitely learned a few lessons this weak end
Dry firing is showing how much of a difference there is in the trigger response on the A2 compared to my A1 which still has regular Mini Tamiya's atm. Looking forward to taking a trip into the garden and seeing how the flat hop performs tomorrow.

Have not really done anything visible but have decided to DMR my G5 now it has a proper scope. Swapped out the nozzle for the high power one so can still keep the PSI below 100 to get the required FPS (420) for our sites DMR rules.
Have ordered an action cam which I will be modding to hold a 25mm lens instead of the wide angle lens when it arrives which should magnify by 6x optically so if it works out will aid videoing for a scope cam.

I have had troubles with almost losing my M9 because it falls out my holster in games....
So i made one of these:
......Out of an old electric lighter I found in my draw:
as you can see it's decapitated head...
Tested it by dropping it...on a pillow and it works

The awesomeness is too much!

what is the width of it ? how did you actually make it ?i've recently been looking at getting an amplifier for my m4. The cheapest I seen was about £9 delivered but it's so short I wondered if it'd actually amplify the sound, so I made my own.

Off topic, but what make/model is your flashlight? How many lumens? Does it work well down in UCAP Bunker?
