    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Two back to back tournament marshalling Sundays. Funny scenes happened, people seem to lose whatever few brain cells they have left when put under pressure, many kept looking for things that were right in front of their eyes and on a couple of occasions i had to call people out for not calling...

    Night Vision on the cheap

    Your mk1 eyeball is better at night vision than a digital camera with its IR filter removed and it's free.. Depending on where you play and the weather you can almost always see what you need in the dark (footpaths, trees, vegetation in general). Learn to play with your ears rather than your...

    Night Games

    NV/Thermal user here: I wouldn't say pay to win, although they certainly give you an advantage if you can use them. In Airsoft there are ways to counter thermals (silly as it sounds, sitting next to a rock that's been under the sun all day) and generally foliage will counter most of the cheap...

    A 'Proper' loadout?

    For FG garments I'd look at Invader Gear, I've been using their combat shirts for quite some time and the FG pattern called Everglade, despite being a knockoff since the original pattern was discontinued in favour of the X variants (iX as seen in my pfp, FG-X and AU-X), is still decent. Gear...

    Hop up system update

    Replace one part at the time and see how it affects performance.. It's also easier to troubleshoot. Mind you that by changing any of these components *might* require a different nozzle (both length and shape of the tip).

    specna arms edge 2.0 H20 - issues with shimming, bb curving left with hop and FPS.

    not really, the grip can shift its angle when tightened (the flat part doesn't sit flush with the bottom of the gearbox and can tilt) and this throws off the motor angle relative to the bevel gear, resulting in horrible sounds and accelerated wear (sometimes straight up damage) on the weakest...

    specna arms edge 2.0 H20 - issues with shimming, bb curving left with hop and FPS.

    Your grip is most likely touching the receiver, which then throws off both the height and angle. I suggest using grip spacers or sanding down the top part of the grip, so that when everything is assembled and tightened down there is still a very slight gap between receiver and grip.

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    New thermal optic for me (let's call it a birthday present). Infiray Jerry YM 2.0, found a 2nd hand one with just 6h of usage for not *that* much (2.3k). Then a new "workshop" chrono (acetech 6000 mk3), a bunch of nitecore 4000mAh 18650s, some nitecore rechargeable AAs and a battery charger.

    Well Socom Tactical won't ever be getting my money again!

    You lot really have nothing better to do eh? I completely understand the hate towards KM and his mates, there are many things about him i don't like myself but you forget to mention that the point of investing money into opening a store to sell something is to earn money, naturally a niche shop...

    Air ratio question for a DMR

    Drop the weight down to 0.32, according to maths you should "only" need a 420mm barrel but keep in mind that air volume isn't everything, there are factors like piston mass and initial/final (piston) velocity and initial pressure spike to take into account.. Stuff i can't explain but it's there.

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Don't worry guys, hit calling can be shit anywhere.. Last Sunday i was prefiring a piece of cover an opponent kept popping out of (in the same place) and he took a 32 rps burst to the face without even flinching 😂😂😂 But anyhow, i think we're going to switch from Sunday morning to Friday night...

    Gearbox... how much grease?

    18 rps on a solink v2 seems low to be fair, the thing should come out of the factory set up at 46k rpm and 100% torque which should put you in the 33/35 rps region on a 11.1v and about 25 on a 7.4v. There could definitely be grease on the levi sensors, but again I'd be more worried about the...
