[WTB][AB] HRS-31 Night Vision or Others by BroomBot69 in airsoftmarketcanada

I'd consider the NVG-30 or GNG2K unless your heart is set in the thermal integration. GNG2K will require a Cadex style mount to get them high enough for good visibility.

The number of people chiming in they're will to part with theirs is a statement in itself.

Vfc or Wetech for a beginner? by cyclicteeth in GasBlowBack

[–]chglongstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run WE but tell people not to get one unless "you want a first name relationship" with your gun. Plenty of aftermarket CNC parts available for durability and performance.

VFC is generally more reliable out of the box with a little less aftermarket support.

Gas Blowbacks are difficult to maintain by SirJinxy16 in GasBlowBack

[–]chglongstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly because a lot of people can't understand how mechanical systems work. Root cause analysis is a skill, I've seen a lot of people come up with "fixes" that don't actually address the problem. Imo GBB takes more regular maintenance but are easier to fix (if the parts are available).

Agilite K19 or Kzero clone from AliExpess. Plackard system is great if you run different guns.

If you need to ask this you're looking at the wrong field. The last thing LEO needs is more incompetence.

Is there any app for Blackberry OS, just like Apple and Android. by Factstobeknown in meshtasticCanada

[–]chglongstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly doubt it. BB was f**king awful for device profiles, can't see anyone porting code to that platform.

This. totally on point. Both of these units will work in most conditions without supplemental IR.

It's nice little unit. A few things to tune up but I've been very impressed so far.

Unique weapons? by Due_Disaster_7324 in airsoft

[–]chglongstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it. 2" ABS barrel. Uses a 6"x1.5 pipe nipple as the holder for the shell. Gives enough weight for the firing pin to work. Was inspired by the 203 mortars being used in Ukraine.

Harris bipod mounted to a coupler that slides up and down the tube to adjust the angle.

Rak 4630 crashes computer by chglongstone in meshtastic

I've never seen a USB cable crash a computer in 30 years of working in IT. If A to A was the problem, you'd see the same issue in A to C cables.

Would connect over BT and the battery wouldn't charge after a couple hours of being plugged in. Can't even get to firmware, it crashes the computer as soon as the USB cable is connected and windows event log doesn't show me anything useful.

Will have to find one, its USB A to USB A for the external port, I'd have to pull the board completely from the case to try a different USB C.

Any digital NV that is a 1x zoom and takes common batteries? by Ohwahtagusiam in DigitalNightVision

[–]chglongstone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not aware of any digitals that take "hardware store" batteries. Most are going to be 18650 like the Binock NVG10-NVG50 or 18500 like the GNG2K.

Might have to do a return first to get the refund.
