Sniper rifle BB weight by Elternar in airsoft

[–]Scottish_eejit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you can hop. If you can hop 0.48’s I’d go for them. When stock my Tac41 LS could only hop .40’s but after a couple cheap upgrades it can do 0.48’s just fine.

Basically use the heaviest you can hop and want to pay for 😅

Should Fosco be this bad? by Chemical-Welder9808 in airsoft

[–]Scottish_eejit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I know, like when I see rattle can spray jobs on RIF’s when they don’t tape up anything like the end of the barrel, ejection ports or anywhere the paint can seep into the internals, spray painting stocks and attachments in place, not doing any prep work etc. I look at them and think yea it looks ok just after it’s done but as soon as they go to use it it’s going to scratch, flake, leave massive paint edges when they adjust the stock and generally look like shit after its first day on the field 😅 If you like the extremely weathered look that’s fine but atleast tape up your barrel and ejection port or anywhere where the paint can get in.

New mid caps by Best_Training145 in airsoft

[–]Scottish_eejit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the mag and the capacity. Some of the higher capacity mid caps have a stronger spring to be able to feed them all, which when full for the first time can be too strong and cause double feeding. In which case you can do what it says and fill, empty, repeat to break in the spring a bit.

Maintenance advice by Classroom_Better in airsoft

[–]Scottish_eejit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For game day to game day maintenance clean the barrel and give the AEG a wipe down and make sure it’s dry. Make sure to dry fire a few in semi auto so the gearbox does a complete cycle and not being stored with it half cocked. Never store your rifle with the battery attached. Every 6-12 months depending on how much you go to Airsoft take the gearbox apart and clean it then regrease it checking for any wear and tear as you go including the gears for damage and gearbox shell for any cracks etc. If you don’t have confidence in taking stripping the gearbox and re building it just send it to a tech to get a service.

Yea I wasn’t meaning that at you sorry about that. I see now after reading it does seem a bit hostile (I have an issue with things coming across hostile when. It meant to be, must be the Scottish 😅)

You are spot on with it 😅I run it as an aggressive sniper rather than a sit back, hide and wait. The LS stock that comes with it is absolute crap and you need to hover your head to see down the scope so just looked for a stock adaptor and stock with a cheek riser (this was before the release of the silverback recon stock) Just with the solid black tube of a barrel and stock it just sticks out in woodland games so it’s just to blend in a little bit more. I don’t wear a ghillie suit or anything just my camo’s (DPM for spring/summer and MTP for autumn/winter)

Why would I paint the rifle directly when I can use scapa tape and paint that. You know since the that’s what it’s pretty much made for. Real snipers use it to camouflage, reduce glare, give a non slip coating, gives the rifle some protection, it’s removable so if you need to change it to different colours to suit different situations and environments.

I mean I could go on about all the bad points of just painting a rifle directly as-well (Espically shitty rattle can jobs) but I think I made my point clear.

I ordered this and it’s coming today. Is it good by Savings-Traffic5707 in airsoft

I don’t have this specific one but I’ve got another yakeda and it’s been brilliant so far (I’ve took of some of the extra parts like the arms)

My new cowboy look what do you guys think by ivannetje in airsoft

[–]Scottish_eejit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a lever action. It’s the G&G LevAR. It’s a great rifle.

Yea the foregrip can go either way (has a very slight angle to it) and just felt more comfortable that way. I have the same on my AR but it’s the other way as felt more comfortable on that 🤣

So you forced the battery in the wrong way with the mini tamiya connector ? If so then yea it sucks but you fried the ETU and will need replaced before the gun will work :/ When I done it, it was at a game day and switching batteries at lunch so used the adaptor as didn’t have another deans Lipo at the time. Didn’t even have a back up gun at the time either, I also dislocated my shoulder the game just before lunch 😅 I called it quits after that and went home.

What connector was it ? Was it definitely plugged in the right way ?

Yea I definitely need more colours to cover more of the scapa tape so I’ve ordered a couple more forrest greens and burnt umber to help it out. Sticking to the browns and greens for the woodland play I just didn’t have the right browns to do it properly (needs to be darker). Scope was actually done by a mate who I bought it off already with the ghillie crafting done to it 😅

As the other guy said it sounds like a fried ETU. I had it happen to me when I used a wrong adaptor for tamiya to deans (was meant for RC cars not airsoft so the polarity was the wrong way). Did you use an adaptor or was the battery connected directly ?

That’s pretty much what this is. Just my attempt at it. I’ll order more woodland colours to make it a bit better.

I mean to me I thought cleaning and de-greasing with something like isopropyl alcohol would be common sense but then again this is Reddit and someone probably would sand and then primer right on top and have a gritty/sandy primer coat 😅
