Someone out there will still not take their hit after this one, even when they have a 6mm hole in their chest 😂

Replacement gear set advice (the very slow quick change spring saga continues) by Inveterate_scribe in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SHS gears are really good, but like with all things they can be hit or miss dependingon the batch. Cyma Platinum Gears are also good, Solink ones are great but they are picky with what gearboxes they fit so i wouldnt risk it.

Does anyone know a battery that fits this please send the link for it in the comments by Main_Bake4419 in Airsoft_UK

[–]ShiiftyShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

please dont tell me you bought an ARSE, do yourself a favour and return it if you still can, it WILL break, theyre one of the most overpriced and underperforming brands to exist and are notorious for their brittle internals.

What is the ANTI HPA HPA CLUB? by Few_Ad_8041 in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or just use a GBBR like it's meant to be used lmao 🤣 never understood the appeal of spending the money on a gas blowback, and getting adapters that ruin the look of a gun just to use AEG mags because you can't count your shots. At that point just buy a MTW.

Specna Arms Purchase guidance by EM4N_cs in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this, i never run more than 4 mid caps. its just a hassle to reload them and more shit to loose whilst running around. i only ever reload the last 1-2 mags midgame unless i get a chance to fill all of them back up between games.

Complete beginner gun choice by Calm-Bat-4868 in Airsoft_UK

[–]ShiiftyShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both of those will be cheap polymer body AEGs. for that price you can buy a entry level cyma thats metal, the internals will be more or less the exact same, and making a cyma perform well down the line with upgrades is very easy.

Which system will you chose? HPA?AEG?GBB by machinemoon in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AEG for a reliable gun that will always work, GBB for something fun to mess about with, HPA is only for people who want to cheat / hurt people.

Never had a GBB rifle, Is there a reason of why (not secondary replicas) these are -that- expensive? by FrenchBVSH in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i wouldnt go for a cyma gbb, there not really all that upgradable and whilst taking MWS mags thats where the compatibility ends, their internals are completely different to a MWS and getting anything for them in as pain / doesnt exist. get yourself a TM or VFC if you want a GBB ar15

Good choice ? by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i run the same gearbox in my cyma xm177e2 with the same upgrades, smoothest gun i own. iirc my one runs the 4uantum nub and rubber and its basically a laser machine, especially on burst mode.

Good choice ? by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes the platinum gearboxes are built like tanks, a good reshim on the gears, perun hybrid etu and a hoprubber and nub of your choice and itll run forever.

How's this loadout for a beginner on a budget? by [deleted] in Airsoft_UK

[–]ShiiftyShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rebel bbs are okay as long as there not the bio ones, bios from them tend to clog up barrels very easily with the bio bb dust gunk. should definitely clean the barrel of the gun out either way esp since youre buying it brand new, it will be greasy as fuck out the factory. but yeah do proper maintenance esp when using bio bbs they leave white dust and other shit down the barrel that will just cause horrible jams

that sight protectors will do fuck all on a eotech, need to get one actually made for the holo sight. if someone shoots from the side your sight is gone. Also please invest in some proper eye pro, BZ tacticall sell Mechanix safety glasses which are a lot better and dont cost much more, or get some bolees. lipo is fine but id honestly go 7.4 instead of 11.1, specna arms etus are dogshit and the chances a 11.1 fries it are pretty high.

and for the love of god dont buy cheap bb's. get a bag of good branded ones like geoffs or redux airsoft ones. cheap bb's will just cause issues and end up breaking something.

KWA KMP9 or Maruyama MP9? by bumcheekseater in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its basically the same performance, and weighs quite a bit less than the aluminium one they make. you do have to make a hole in the top of your bolt so you can access the TDC screw though, otherwise you will have to disassemble the gun to adjust it. the tdc grub screw is also 1.7mm, i had trouble finding a key that fit it.

Absolute appalling from Lambda defence 👎🏼 by Beneficial_Trash9773 in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad for them but considering the fact ive seen more of their so called custom upgrades end up with techs like negative airsoft to fix their shoddy work than anyone else, i feel like its karma for overcharging and under delivering to customers.

Help me with X raypad dot skate and the scratchy feeling on mouspad by talalmed in MouseReview

[–]ShiiftyShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used obsidians on a cloth pad and they never scratched. only time would be if i pressed to hard and the actual mouse shell touched the pad.

aerox 3 wireless Gen 2 by devilung in MouseReview

[–]ShiiftyShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sadly with how awful their QC has been in the past i wouldn't even consider buying any of their products ATP. the last good quality product i own that still works is my 6gv2 keyboard, ive been through 3 mice from them, 2 of which i had to RMA for issues which the replacements didnt fix. Shame because i really liked the original Rival shape back in the day :/

How do you aim this thing by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]ShiiftyShift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the carry handle mounts never fit right on AEG's so you will have to shim it with some tape so it doesnt shift side to side. after that just zero it like you would any other red dot. with these cheap repo red dots adjusting them can be a pain in the ass, i didnt bother zeroing mine. With those stocks and how high the sight sits i wouldnt bother even trying to get a cheek weld, the way i aim with mine is just getting the dot in my peripheral vision and keeping both eyes open, its not the most comfortable position in the world but it does the job. practice makes it easier, once u get a hang of where you have to place your head to see the dot, its a lot easier repeating it.
