JustARandomGuy replied to the topic BCM and Gen3 PMags in the forum Weapons 3 months, 1 week ago
There is a certain well known forum that has been hashing this out since 2015 or so. There are two major threads of around 19-26 or so pages each… In case anyone wants to do some heavy, eye-rolling reading on one of the greatest internet arguments of our time…
As FS already said, if it’s an issue 5 minutes with a fine-toothed file…[Read more]

JustARandomGuy replied to the topic Army wants a new 6.8mm round in the forum Ammunition 3 months, 2 weeks ago
I would guess that this is the case as well- I think this is merely the military pitching their “want list” for whatever next-gen weapon they’re going to want to implement, given that I’ve seen a few other releases floating around about new types of ammo being resurrected/researched.
All the 6.-whatever fanbois need to chill… haha -

JustARandomGuy replied to the topic Red Guards Austin: Severed Pig Heads and Call for ‘Revolutionary Violence’ in the forum Information & Intelligence 4 months ago
As some may recall, one of the war-chants of the more extreme leftists is “Liberals get the bullet too.”
Personally, I think groups like this can be viewed two (somewhat obvious) ways-
One, they are a true threat- the actual Red “BAMN” dipshits trying to kickstart their glorious revolution. Will have to see what happens with the outcome of the…[Read more] -

Oh yeah… if Kav gets confirmed, they’re gonna lose their shit- look at the circus they’ve already made out of the hearings. Hopefully we’ll only have to endure the mass riot-er, I mean “protests” for a few months til winter shuts most of them down.
And then if we get a double-whammy of Kav + mostly R wins in Nov… oh, the banshees are gonna…[Read more]

Historical use of fake news?
What did that one newsman say way back- something about “give me a story and I’ll give you a war”?Nowadays everything has become so *blatantly* biased, you can’t even trust the local news.

Second the Chrono.
One of the other nice side benefits of airsoft is the users can wear significantly less protective gear. But like I mentioned before, there will be damage to protective gear/injuries if you get people shooting hot at CQB distance.As far as reviews on my side, I regret to say you’ll be disappointed. As much as it may seem…[Read more]

And THIS is one of the many reasons I hate trying to help people with their AR buying choices (or any shooting/tac equipment, really)… everything looks the same and most folks just do not “get” that it ain’t. Try to explain that there’s valid differences in materials and workmanship and they start looking at you like you’re crazy….

Also, a detail strip of a similar KWA AEG. Pretty much all Electric guns have more or less the same internals and takedown procedure (with some slight variations). Don’t have to watch all 40 minutes- the first 10 minutes or so will suffice.
As a side note, as I mentioned before about “battery issues”, notice the wires coming out the front of the…[Read more]

I highly recommend you watch this entire 30 minute video- this is the “shim your gears or break your gun” primary maintenance event I was referring to with an AEG… He does a good job spending some time at the beginning explaining WHY this is important and why gears in AEGs can/will strip and break.
Covers both gear and motor adjustments.…[Read more] -

Finally here is a good video demo-ing what you can expect in extreme cold with a GBB. Yes it sucks- hence my previous comment on potential class scheduling.
Although granted, I would say this is pretty severe weather to even try to run an airsoft event in, in the first place, regardless of if you had GBB or AEG guns.…[Read more] -

For the exact same gun in the above review, here are a couple techs explaining why the above reviewer likely broke his hop-up, as well as covering what I was talking about before with gas valve issues and maintenance. Pretty simple stuff…

It’s a bit older, but here is a good review of one of the KWA GBB rifles. This actually does a pretty good job showing some of what I was talking about in regards to the hop-up, chrono, and BB weight issues.
A gun running high 300’s to 400’s might be a bit hot for CQB…
As you can see, it’s pretty much like a real M4 internally.…[Read more] -

Max-
TC also has a good comment.I could go on for another page about the pros and cons, I could get more into the battery/motor issues with AEGs, and I’m confident most of what I’d tell you would be correct. However, I admit, I have been out of the market for a couple years, and I’m sure there have been some changes.
I think talking to a tech…[Read more] - Load More
