![]() You'll want the flat-faced cylinder head and piston head for a sorbothane pad as opposed to the mushroom-shaped ones that are so common. Good luck finding one - you may have to piece one together. If memory serves, Modify offered a flat-faced aluminum bore-up piston and cylinder head combo a few years ago that might be worth looking into. Quote:

Would this satisfy that kit?
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005D1VMW6/...SIN=B005D1VMW6 These parts are the few parts in my gearbox (also A&K Masada) which have not been upgraded, so they're the next things on my to-do list.

So recently me and a few people on my team have been considering buying Soviet kits, even if not for games still rather cool. And noticed a few years ago there was some discussion over ww2 or alternate history games. Anyone know if there will be any games like this in 2013 that a Soviet kit would be useful?

Well at OP Artemis in a week and a half a soviet kit would go well on the Russian Border Guard faction.

Soviet kits would also work for the Operation Nomad series starting in March. In terms of "alternate history games," I recommend you look into some of the events put on by Out of the Box Industries. Some events do not allow full military gear because within the alternate history resources and gear is limited, but I think you could find some use for that stuff.

I have a uniform question. A few of us guys are looking to get the navy work uniforms for events. They are a blueish grey digital pattern like Marpat. What team would we be placed on? I am thinking green, but would this be a case where it is simply up to the EO for events.

Runner, not sure. It would probably be up to the EO like ACU. I would guess green too, but thats just me.

If you google "digital urban" you'll find quite a bit of stuff that's remarkably similar to the NWU. The primary difference is the Urban Digital pattern is more black than blue, but an untrained observer wont be able to tell the difference from a distance.

And here we go again. Anyone help me to identify this barrel?

I have a question which I haven't really been able to find a solid answer on. I purchased a Classic Army M15A4 about a month and a half ago so I could start playing airsoft. Before going ahead and buying it I checked around on a few websites to read up on it, and with each the FPS was listed anywhere from 350 to 390 FPS with .2g's. That was cool with me.
However....when I went to my first game at Fallen Warriors a month back, I went to chrono, and the gun shot at about 430 FPS (+/- 3 or 4) each shot I took. Since I was shooting that hot I was unable to participate in any fighting in the villages, and could only shoot semi-auto throughout the day. I didn't mind shooting semi, but not being able to fight in the villages was sort of a bummer. For your typical rifle 430 seems really excessive to me anyways. That makes me wonder, why was the FPS of the gun so much higher than advertised on each of the websites I looked at? Does cold weather affect AEG's FPS wise some way? Or is the FPS typically high on new guns until they get broken in? I'm just stumped really and I'm trying to decide how to proceed. If the gun is indeed sitting around 430 FPS, should I try and downgrade the spring? Would a tighter barrel decrease FPS in any way? Any help would be appreciated. |

Someone else said it may be a KM Head barrel. If it is, I may have just bought a $60+ barrel for $20. http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...roducts_id=161

JMDECC Now, I'm no expert on things like this, but to give you an answer about downgrading the spring, I'd say do that. A tighter bore barrel will actually increase FPS, in most cases. The increase is very little though.
First, before you downgrade the spring, you will need to find out what your stock spring tension is, then determine what the weaker spring's tension will need to be. As for the cold effecting the FPS, I have no idea. With the retail FPS advertisements, It's iffy. I hope this helped, and that someone else can back this info up. I say this because I haven't made any posts like this. Good Luck!

I have a barrel similar to that, did it come in a triangular tube?

I bought it used. The guy just pulled it out of his AUG that he got in a trade.
The only other barrel I saw that looked like this are Teflon coated barrels.

Okay, I have a few newbish questions that I want to ask. No I am not new to airsoft, just new to the next level of airsoft; working with internals, lipo's, and more. My questions:
1. What is the main purpose of a MOSFET? 2. What is the main difference between charging my NiMH battery at 1.0 amp rather than 3.0? Pretty much: what is amperage and what does it do? Thank you for reading-Walrus

As for the 1A vs. 3A question: mAH in an airsoft battery (or any battery, really) measures the amount of charge that particular battery can hold. A 1700mah battery holds half as much as a 3400mah battery. 1amp is 1000mah. Charging at a higher amperage charges the batteries quicker, but also decreases the life of the battery. The old rule was that you were never supposed to charge a NiCad/NiMah battery at more than double it's mah capacity. Therefore you wouldn't charge a 1700mah (1.7ah) battery at greater than 3.4a. Charging batteries too quickly can cause the individual cells in the pack to rupture, and would destroy the pack. A lot of the newer batteries are LiPo and Li-Ion, and overcharging or undercharging them can have extremely bad consequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CORysPF3rmk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixIOEPnsgbI This one is Li-Ion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5f0VCoFuFM Last edited by Loki; 02-16-2013 at 12:37 AM. |

Quick question for you guys, just to see what you guys think. I'm starting a team with some friends, we plan on tending a decent amount of events but overall a very "noob" team at the moment.
I'm deciding between two names. LMV: La Morte Viene (Death is Coming) or BOMB (Band of Maniacal Brothers). Both are names I've used in online games and I'm still thinking about which one to use. Basically if you guys had to use one of those two which would you pick? |
