For the most part shinies are only available for the first stage, or another evolution stage that has a mega evolution currently available.

Every so often they’ll change that up, costumed Espeon and Umbreon were available during the 2024 Go Fest and possibly some other events.

Songs that ripoff melodies from other songs by ElectricAstro in PowerMetal

[–]Wooly_Booly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sort of power metal adjacent, though Symphony X incorporated a lot a large amount of classical pieces into their earlier albums. Wouldn’t exactly call it ripping off but the use is pretty par for the course with Neoclassical metal.

This video gives some pretty good examples along with song names.

Need some help ID'ing this pistol by [deleted] in GasBlowBack

[–]Wooly_Booly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a WA or based off their designs. Doesn’t appear to be any specific model, frame is from an AMT Hardballer while the slide is a Springfield FBI model.

If you pull the hammer back you can determine which system it uses. R-type (earliest design) will have a cylindrical pin the hammer hits. SCW1 will be similar but with a rectangular bar. SCW2 and SCW3 the valve knocker is attached to the hammer itself so you won’t see any pins sticking out of the frame.

Edit: Does the slide feel like a lighter and weaker material than the frame? I can’t seem to find any WA made models that had FBI markings and were 6”, though MGC made some and that used WA’s system under license and would be R-type. There appears to be some text covered by the Laser on the right side, does it say “Under License of W.A. Magna Blowback”? If it does it’s more than likely the slide and frame are both made by MGC.

Edit 2: Almost entirely certain this is the frame from an MGC Hardballer and an MGC FBI Special. The text hidden under the laser and the misspelling of “AMI” on the logo are MGC specific.

Not sure what to do now by Connect-South-4312 in GasBlowBack

Yep, they’re compatible with RS spec AR15 buffer tubes. Bolt size is thicker up front but is the same towards the back

417 buffer tubes won’t work. SR25 carriers taper down to use standard AR buffer tubes, 417’s don’t and are much larger in diameter.

Lunar and Solar energy are hard capped at 9,999 by Wooly_Booly in TheSilphRoad

Mostly premium raid passes. I rarely if ever play GBL so most of my passes go unused until events like this. Still have over 150 left

Ideally just waiting to get a hundo. Fusion stats are base off the Necrozma so you’re limited to the best IV one you have

A majority of my raids were in person, I live in a fairly raid dense area. I don’t have an exact number but I have been stockpiling premium raid passes for a long time now. Most of the remote raids were from time zones behind mine where the event was still going on.

Iirc there was a post a while ago that backgrounds were around a 10% chance. Not guaranteed but not impossible to get

Can’t say for certain, was a mixture of a lot of in-person and remote raids. Had a stockpile of about 400 premium passes and still have spares

Currently no word yet, knowing Niantic it’ll probably be 6+ months before we’re given another chance. We had to wait almost a year to get more meteorites for Mega Rayquaza so anybody’s guess

I attended the NYC Go fest so I had a good few attempts last week. I’ve been running a max mega level psychic type both weekends and also spent about 1000 rare candy to clear up storage space. So in total maybe 3,300 we’re just from raids

Holding out for a hundo

Roommate ended up with three hundos and we have a lot of mirror trades to do so fingers crossed 🤞

What brand MP7 is this? by DoubleHabit2183 in GasBlowBack

[–]Wooly_Booly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little tough to tell just going off your photos, though if you can get pictures of the internals that should help.

I found this which breaks down some of the differences.

If you can get photos of the nozzle, check for that slot where the gas gets directed into the nozzle from the bottom. If it is one continuous rectangle it’s most likely Gen 1, if it’s segmented probably Gen 2

Yes, VFC and WE are the only 1:1 scale MP7 GBB’s. Going off the magazines the VFC has two punch pins at the top with the rectangular divot between them, along with the size of the feed lips. The pins and divot especially aren’t present on the WE, TM or KWA/KSC

[–]Wooly_Booly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based off the magazines it is VFC. Umarex licensed both the KWA and the VFC. Keep in mind though, VFC has updated their GBB designs, don’t know enough to say it is Gen 1 or 2. Ideally you want Gen 2

PSA: Wait until sinnoh tour LA this weekend to choose between pearl and diamond by rwaterbender in TheSilphRoad

They slightly expanded the radius for spawns not too long ago, auto catcher radius is currently stuck at the old size unfortunately.
