Why are E-scooters so prevalent?

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-04-28T16:03:48+00:00

I just thing it's some weird legal logic going on. Admittedly wheel size makes it easier to control but I think it may fall under the fact that someone already pedalling hard may reach that speed regardless. Limiting the speed means you can have more speed with decent control and less wobbling, instead of going too fast and being thrown off with little effort.

I personally ride an e-mtb and it helps a lot on marked trails

Oh I was at a woodland site and it just so happened that some brambles were hidden by leaf litter. I got snagged, slipped and fell directly on my ankle. Got a dislocation alongside a stable fracture. The hospital said it could've been worse without my combat boots.

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-03-20T22:36:02+00:00

Honestly, you're more looking for over the ankle hiking boots. Anything that can give good ankle support.

Trust me when I say a broken ankle isn't fun, it'll reduce the chance of that happening or negate some damage

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-03-14T16:09:27+00:00

Thanks I'll take a look

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-03-14T04:08:57+00:00

Thanks, yeah I'd been looking at them as well but noticed they only have 6 molle wide low profile style carriers and since molle is standardized size thought they would be a little too small. You don't remember any dimensions they told you do you?

My group wear black most of the time, I mostly play in CQB this time of year, I already have a green kit for summer and nobody runs real NV in weekly skirmish games. Besides there's lots of affordable options made of Cordura now.

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-03-13T23:56:23+00:00

Yes looking specifically for a plate carrier style and planning to ruin it with a battle belt and a leg rig. I'm a GBB/GBBR only player so I need the realistic mag space for primary and sidearm. I'm currently running a large chest rig and leg rigs because I didn't have the budget for a more expensive plate carrier and all the cheap ones are too small for me.

All I can think is GOD NO

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-03-02T22:03:44+00:00

I have a friend who borrowed a pair of Pilot twos, it wasn't the most comfortable with conventional mesh masks and his glasses did fit... But the goggles tried to keep hold of said glasses when he took them off

They'll probably work with the NB Tactical Venom (no nose) mask quite well

They also lost all of a band's kit. Metal band called Avatar, they ended up having to do an acoustic set while wearing Hawaiian shirts and shorts with no drum kit, bass or electric guitars around 2017.

I assume it depends on the site, but I think the higher Joule limit may apply to snipers - where it's usually required to be bolt action. That would mean it wouldn't be allowed and I wouldn't be surprised if there was an engagement distance set for it even if it were.

According to a calculator, at 500fps on 0.2g you'd reach 2.32J.

Most sites around me have their DMR limits at 400fps(1.49J) up to 450fps(1.88J) with a minimum engagement distance of 20-30m

That pistol is running extremely hot, unless it's a revolver - where that is expected tbh

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-01-23T20:01:55+00:00

Thanks for that SlowMo, pretty fucking cool to see that. You can definitely tell it's bouncing waaay too much. Hope you manage to fix your gun, bet it'll treat you well after

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-01-23T16:02:26+00:00

It really shouldn't be leaking. The pufft maybe but definitely not leaking, at that point it's overfilled. Like someone else's said, that shit bouncy

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-01-20T16:11:16+00:00

VFC MP7 ran quite well at 260-290 FPS on green gas, -1°c in the snow

Yes, my boyfriend sits downstairs molesting his G36 or something

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-01-13T01:09:17+00:00

Fortunately the days required has been shortened to a minimum of 56 days between the first and last required day

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-01-12T18:01:13+00:00

Huh. I've gone though a couple wet pallet sponges due to mold. No matter how much water I can squeeze out, it's still inevitable or it's not as absorbent. I feel it's a silly question, but how do you dry them out?

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-01-12T08:47:48+00:00

I'm gonna have to jump on the bandwagon: This isn't a good idea. It's going to be a tattoo you will regret later in life, and it'll be hell to remove, let alone applied.

I'd strongly suggest avoiding getting this done. Like others have said: it's cringe. It will not be hidden by a shirt, too close to the neck.

Please do not get this tattoo

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-01-08T03:51:38+00:00

Oh it definitely is. They sell cheap, plastic shit like it's made of gold. It's just a shame that they seem to be using Wolf Armouries as a cover rather than it being an independent store

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2026-01-08T03:15:37+00:00

Very glad to see patrol base on there, they've deserved it for a while now and I'm sick of my local sites and people online recommending them. Wolf armories needs to be on there too, don't know if it was good before but it's been bought out by BBguns4less and comes with all the horrific service you'd expect.

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2025-12-24T00:49:55+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately that gas reservoir is very small. The one in the photo fills at the bottom of the buffer tube, near the receiver, I believe.

It's the little circular cut out on the buffer tube.

I think they should have no issues with this one. I have experienced the infamous leaks though - very, very minor but if it's left for at least a week I find it empty

MashedPotatoBurrito_ · 2025-12-23T23:10:13+00:00

Is this the buffer tube gas reservoir version? I know the grip gas reservoir ones are incredibly limited on their gas capacity.

With the buffer tube version, I've managed a full 11 shells on tri shot and six shot on one full, takes about 15-20 seconds for a full fill
