I should preface this is entirely within the context of Firearms Act 1968, in particular the offences related to air weapons. And that all this time I had the impression that airsoft is not air weapons. But I am raising this question because I saw this. The police website says airsoft guns are...

Does barrel length affect accuracy? Yes? No? How? And how much? -- Let's do a simple thought experiment. Using maths, and a very typical situation. I have a variable barrel that goes from 50 mm to 550 mm. And I have an imaginary target at 30 metres. I want to find out the different ways the...

Brushless Gossip Issue 1 - September 2024 ---- Strolling across Aliexpress I've noticed a few new brushless motors popped up recently, and I am happy to say there seems to be a new generation of brushless arms race. The brands seem to have picked up the chatters and are now starting to...

Looks like a US vendor just released their own brushless and it has some interesting features: (link to product page) "3 ms startup (vs 12 ms for t238 / 20 ms for Warheads)" 33k RPM with PWM adjustment to <50% (with a "dial") O type shaft for "concentricity" 9.65 mm dia motor...

Made this chart just for a fun way of scoring your accuracy Also potentially useful for extrapolating your accuracy at long range from a close up target like 5 meters Post your rank ?

How to shim the motor tower: 1. Measure the ID of the motor opening on the gearbox (usually about 10 mm) 2. Measure the ID of the motor opening on the pistol grip (usually similar to above) 3. Measure the OD of the motor tower (usually about 9.x mm) 4. Wrap the motor tower with aluminium...

It's a cosmetic part I know but it is just rattling around literally held in place by the upper and lower receiver What is the most solid way of fixing it in place so it doesn't rattle around?

Introduction: The lost art of capacitors in airsoft The mythical powers of "capacitor banks" is not a new idea in airsoft, but the original sources and theories are lost in time, with only faint forum posts remain (all the links are dead in...

I noticed on the SHS/Rocket bushings the factory surface finish is really inconsistent. Some are very rough but some are relatively smooth. This difference can be literally highlighted with some lapping. What I am doing here is used a 7000 grit paper and then 3M 0.3 micron lapping film sitting...

This is not meant to be a definitive graph but just a snapshot of my current understanding for peer review/critique, if anyone wants to share data that can prove or disprove otherwise that'd be great, cheers

Like is it generally frowned upon if you get too close to enemy spawn because it is spawn camping? Should you call hits if your own team shot you? Does ricochet count as hits? How do you execute a knife kill, and does it only count if the enemy hasn't noticed you and if you do it , or can you...

Out of curiosity I noticed the UKARA website does not mention who runs the UKARA database other than a GDPR policy and an ICO registration number. A simple search on the ICO website returns a nondescript address in Cornwall next to a notable government agency facility. I am also surprised...

I have written a piece of A4 for when someone is stopped on public transport e.g. on the Tube. The idea is anyone can print this out and tie to your toy gun to make sure the copper is well convinced on the fact that it isn't illegal. This is probably my paranoia but knowing I have something...
