Airsoft Thread

Yeah evike customer service really does suck. Like that one time I ordered a set of BDU's that were clearly marked as instock, but I was then disappointed to find out they were actually on back order, after my order was already processed and my paypal account charged. Still, you can't beat their prices when ordering from within the US. I suggest only getting accessories and gear from them, and order guns elsewhere.

On another note, I'll be heading back to the states in about a week. I'll post some pics of my semi-pimped out SCAR. I also plan on doing an inner barrel upgrade, and I kind of need some advice. Obviously a 6.01 mm tightbore would be most accurate, but are jammings and stoppages frequent problems with these barrels, or would I be better off with a 6.03 mm? Also, would I need to upgrade anything else to prevent a drop in muzzle velocity? Apparently I read somewhere that if you install a longer inner barrel, then you would need to change your cylinder to maintain your fps. What else would be ideal to replace when upgrading the inner barrel? Bucking? Nub (not exactly sure what this is for)?

The 6.01's would be a significant improvement over the 6.03, you won't have problems if you do two easy things... 1) Use quality "double polished" BB's, and 2) clean your gun/barrel after every game.

Not sure what you're talking about for longer inner-barrel requiring a new cylinder to maintain FPS. I tight-bore barrel will increase your FPS by 5 - 10 FPS most likely since there's less "air bleed" around the edge of the BB as it's being pushed out of the barrel. The only reason I can think of that you'd need a new cylinder is if the one you're using is of extremely low quality and can't deal with the extra pressure a tight-bore generates...

The concave hop-up nubs are really nice, improve accuracy and last longer. You shouldn't NEED a new bucking if you're careful removing the old one. Certain buckings will provide a better seal though, increasing your FPS and performance even further.

You only need a bore-up kit for your cylinder if your barrel is exceptionally long (~590-650 mm), since there isn't enough air in a normal cylinder to keep accelerating the BB for the entire length.

Cali still has its black and tan guns.

Thank god. That law would of only got more cops killed. Criminals would of just started spray-painting their guns.

Yeah but de leon says its is up for reconsideration by the committee as early as July 5th to see if they change their mind.

>_> silly politics

That's a relief, I would've been very disappointed to find out that I just bought a shitload of gear for a dying hobby...

Also, the petition done by the airsoft retailers through their youtube channels is to be commended. However, the outcry from the majority airsoft players is almost laughable. Most of the internet posts made by players are marred with typos and unnecessary displays of anger and threats. Sadly, this just proves that a large portion of the American player base is under-aged and/or has an inclination to provoke violence, the very violence that the bill is trying to prevent. Saying things like "PASS THE BILL AND ALL THE COPS WILL BE SHOT" is a little extreme. However, phrasing it with a bit more discretion; "Passing the bill may cause an increase in police related injuries. This is due to...", would pass on a better message to lawmakers.

The bill would only cause more ruckus. The bill would only stop the law-biding citizens. Seriously I would have a laugh at criminals with pink guns, only to laugh more at the politicians when I see there face when they realize the shitty mistake they made which the committee made the right choice of saying No.

Also I find it funny if people were allowed to own a real firearm in cali such as a pistol (yes?) yet not allowed to own a realistic replica of the same gun (and would needed to be neon colored or clear) if that bill was to pass. Hmmmmmm

Has anyone ever made a Halo Airsoft Gun? Just always wondered.

iv seen a custom mod of a famas to make a battle rifle, but i dont think anybody produces them
