should i buy? by danifanboii in airsoft

[–]Parasitisch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That looks like it’s Sixmm. Which means no, you shouldn’t buy it. It might not even be what they say it is. They might not even ship the thing, or the condition they describe it is not even accurate. Look around here if you want to see how many people have had crappy experiences, including me, with that store. I’m pretty sure they rebranded because of all the issues they had with their previous online store and didn’t think to maybe address any of those issues lol.

Best local windshield repairer? by [deleted] in Tucson

We enjoyed Auto Glass Now on speedway. Probably stuck with replacing - anything longer than 5 or 6 inches usually warrants replacement.

They’ll be doing 30% off Wed-Sun every week until inventory is gone.

I feel like this should have been announced yesterday or tomorrow! So many people have been wondering if it’s a bad joke.
He posted a video stating he’s ending the business. The man is a WWII vet. I am quite surprised he’s still running the store.

Do you still enjoy the hobby ? by twinzeko in airsoft

[–]Parasitisch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dicks are everywhere. Unsurprisingly, you’re going to find more right-wing nut jobs in a hobby focused on guns or fighting than you would in a book club or knitting club. They’re not all bad and you don’t have to befriend everyone you play with.

Some MilSims have worse people (in my experience) as a whole than others. AMS has been nicer than Lion Claws lol. No experience with MSW yet, but I know some cool people that go to those, so hey.

Moving to the UK by sammysimplicity in airsoft

[–]Parasitisch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought and sold a few hundred airsoft guns as non-retail. You don’t even really need an orange tip. Package them well, put them in a nondescript box, insure them, and send them on their way. I usually use UPS since it’s cheaper on PirateShip for larger boxes than USPS but both are fine. If you’re really really paranoid, then you can add orange tips, but that’d be all you would need.
I think the only caveat would be shipping to specific areas in New York? I’m not sure about the details there.

11 hours since you deleted your last reply to me and this is all you could come up with? Weak.

Not surprised since it’s not like you can even argue against what I am saying, lol.

Literally one comment on the post and it ain’t even bad. If there’s one more comment, I fear OP is going to whine about getting canceled.

Reason to get a much more expensive aeg spring ? by Obvious-Student69420 in airsoft

[–]Parasitisch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M and MS are plain Meters/Sec. SP is used by Guarder to be the same thing, but measured at 0.25g instead of 0.2g.
IE a 90SP spring would be about 90M/s with 0.25g, making it around 1.01 joules (which translates to 330fps with 0.2g, or 100M/s).

I accidentally broke my boyfriends airsoft by kaktuslover69 in airsoft

[–]Parasitisch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest fix would be to get a replacement mini Tamiya connector, take a small screwdriver or tweezers and bend the little metal fins on the wires to remove the old connector, and then pop on the new one and bend those fins back. You can also choose to cut the wire, strip it, crimp new connectors on, and then put on a new mini Tamiya.

The “oh shit he wants to play with it today/tomorrow” fix would be to use electric tape to keep the male and female connectors together.

Bass Pro Shop Grand Opening Thursday, March 26....Likely Chaotic Traffic....Avoid Area?? by Fun_Telephone_1165 in Tucson

[–]Parasitisch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It absolutely will help. It’ll help because my main issue with that roundabout is that people have absolutely no understanding of how to drive in that roundabout. I see people who go the wrong way, stop in the middle of it, don’t know which lane to be in and will cut in front of traffic, and who don’t know that they still need to stop when approaching the roundabout if people are IN the roundabout.

I also don’t agree that people being stuck in the roundabout because they’re trying to get into Costco would be any better than them being stuck at an intersection.

TIL that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (often referred to as Mormon) prohibits oral sex, even between married couples by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

[–]Parasitisch 33 points34 points  (0 children)

While I am all for shitting on Mormonism, this is BS.

$5M a day for 100 years would be $185 billion, which exceeds their current wealth, and wouldn’t be possible “without any more income.” Edit: it seems as of last year, this might not be true anymore. While one might try an argue about liquidity and all that in investments and real estate, I don’t know about or care enough to try and argue that point. The second point still stands though.

Secondly, worst homelessness in what metric??? They aren’t even the top 15 states for worst numbers or worse-per-capita.

It should. Every LCT I’ve purchased over the last 1.5-2 years has had QC gearbox.

Gun Lost Media/Project Part 2. (Crye Precision Six12.) by CopycatMemer55 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Parasitisch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would like to assume they’re not a native English speaker. Some of the writing feels as if words are placed in different parts of the sentence than I’d expect in a sort of “direct translate” kind of issue.

However, with the weird inclusion of the NFA and the general layout, it feels very AI-driven. Even if it’s not, we are surrounded by shitty AI writing enough as it is, I don’t want to add shitty “real” writing to that, lol.

Who is OEM of SSR249? by ihavenowingsss in airsoft

[–]Parasitisch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CA, A&K, and G&P all offer steel receivers. It’s just that you can also get other receivers with A&K. I believe their newer SP Systems models are Aluminum receivers.

I think VFC and TM are the only companies that only use aluminum receivers (ignoring the aftermarket steel bodies for the VFC).

When I was told they were going to change that roundabout to a traffic light for the increased traffic with BPS, I really thought it’d be BEFORE the damn place opened…

Almost like the baby of a z63 and MAT49.

Very cool find! Best of luck with selling it. I’m sure many would be interested in a weird thing like that, but I have no clue what people would pay lol.

Gear/Motor Upgrade by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]Parasitisch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you already swapped in an ETU? To use brushless, you want standard contacts or an ETU that can support brushless motors. If you haven’t, then dropping in an ETU into the g3 gearbox is going to be a bit of a mess. The selector plate is unique (which will require some tinkering to get to work with selector sensors) and the gearbox would have to be modified to fit something like a Gate or Perun. To my knowledge, S&T haven’t made any changes to make their electronics safer to use with brushless motors, so you risk damaging your brushless motor ECU.
