I understand what he is saying, I do instagram promotions for some military/hunting/airsoft stores ( you dont earn to much, you can but you really need to know what you are doing, I dont earn much but nice ammount to "refund" my airsoft gear ), but I know what he is talking about, all that bullshit about motivation quotes and that shit, im in love with photography and military gear ( In my country its hard to own real firearm legaly, so Airsoft is my option) and I started doing something I enjoy. But I dont like ppl who praise their like stores or airsoft manufacturers, saying its the best replica or gear and shit like that, I speak about all ups and downs, maybe more downs ( and i think that is the reason why they get mad at me ), but if something is really well made I will tell people about it. cheers mate !
@@irish2772 Off the top of my head, people like Gi.Gee and there was that famous picture that did the rounds of a tacticool operator drinking corona while popping a smoke. Forget his name, but his insta was full of the same motivational quotes you get with middle-aged house wives who've just found out how Facebook works. You'll go down their timeline and spend the rest of the day impersonating a cat getting up a hairball.
"It's a plastic ball that's spinning, mate. What are you expecting from this?!" i feel like that needs to be the industry standard slogan, just to remind people what it is they're actually doing with their lives and money 😂
"What sniper should I get"? Simo Haya or Carlos Hathcock if your budget will stretch that far. Craig Harrison is pretty solid if you want a local option.
Big thanks Luke for sorting that replacement. Quality service as ever. You really went the extra mile sorting me a new reciever and fitting it all for free, not to mention the re tune too! He might be a gobby twat on RU-vid, but he's an absolutely lovely human being.
Thank God i got a g&g sr25 with the knights armament trades. It has a actual block to prevent full auto both on the body and gearbox casing. That way at no matter what field I go to I am always stuck at semi auto only. I cannot change the settings. All I can do is use the mosfet as is.
I know it's stupid ... but lately, instead of focusing on video content, I listen to background music ... this time you smashed the system with the Bloood Sport soundtrack. Props for you chief!
Oh man I laughed so hard when you addressed the cringy motivational posters and people posing in streams with specna arms rifs :D I'd like to include the people who wish other people a happy 'warrior weekend' in this category as well. Cheers!
Hi, love all your vids and learnt alot from them. I have a classic army scarab which gearbox snapped at spring guide area, due to the CA gearbox having a slightly modified shell I can't fit a standard v2 gearbox in. Do you know anywhere I could pick up a shell to fit, or would this be a project that you would take on? Keep up the awesome work
To be honest, the PSG-1 isn't such a bad gearbox. The main issue is that pretty much all upgrade parts are out of production and there's no drop in ETU fet for it.
I agree with some things but barrel length has almost no effect on distance. so if you using a good bucking and short barrel will shoot a .32 just a far as if you had super long barrel and good bucking. It’s been proven a lot with aegs that barrel length doesn’t matter.
@@philtrysstrongman That being the case, you're talking about joule creep in essence. Sure, it makes a difference in GBBRs (as noted) but in the original comment, I'm guessing the OP was referring to the power being the same. Hypothetically...... ;-) Doesn't make a jot of difference in either case assuming that the weight, velocity, drag, height from the ground etc are all constant is the point. Tangenitally I stuck a 550mm barrel in my old VSR and ruined it. Sure, gained some FPS but consistency went straight out the window in comparison to the 430mm I had in previously - Laylax barrels if you're wondering - so sure, it can 100% cause problems all over the shop.
@@NegativeAirsoftTech Could you provide some more context for this one? I have a tendency to agree but I have no idea why its true, personally. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
F2 tuned properly with tight bore and good bucking and I can laser all day on a 68/4500 half of these gripes go out the window. Plus I can play any field. No more dead batteries and hot motors.
@@MercutioUK2006 not even close to as accurate. A properly installed R hop and lapped barrel will provide superior accuracy to anything out there. You can't debate this. It's fact.
@@OctaneGroup I hear ya. I have an umbrella armory that came rhopped and shot like shit. So I lapped it to reduce the retarded break in period. And with a better motor and spring and virtually everything else lol it shoots out 250 accurately. And can reach 300. Just 250 is without over hopping it.
I use 0.20 for my TM Scorpion mod. M AEP, 0.23 on my GBB sidearm and 0.25 for my rifles, I may consider using 0.28 if I put a heavier spring in my SVD, but I prefer 328 FPS /1 joule since Im used to iron sights anyway.
Mosfet wise,l have been using the Gate Nano ASR - their base model - for a few years now. They are really nothing more than a power regulator I have three of them, an zero complaints.
What site is saying that 1.88J is 380fps on 0.2g? I've never seen a chrono in use at an airsoft site, or offered for sale for airsoft use, that doesn't have a Joules figure right on it. How can they be getting it so wrong?
finally, someone making the case AGAINST heavier BB= better argument also of concern: heavier BBs needs more hop depression and that can get you jams in AEG, heavy BBs over 0.32g have metal/metallic salt powder addition and that fucks with hardness of BB (softer BB = more likely to deform and jam on GBBs), roundness of BB and consistency of center of BB gravity due to air bubbles, and it does you no good if muzzle velocity goes below 200FPS (too slow, you need to lead shot unless in relatively close range where heavy BB doesn't have any advantages anyway )
You can just use a good bucking with a hard nub. Lift 0.50s out of 1.2J with ease without jamming the gun. Also lol heavier BBS being softer. Pretty funny my friends run 0.45s out of their GBBRs all day here in Canada without issues.
The absolute worst airsoftgun I've ever bought was the brand new gbbr m4a1 made by King Arms, and yeah It was a GBBR what could I expect, but still, first game two mags started to leak 80€ each, the hopup chamber exploded internaly and could no longer be adjusted, ordered a new one from cech republic for a arm and a leg, but to get the delta ring off I had to order a tool from the US for a kidney and a lung and then som tullfee, and then the plastic nossle in bolt broke into a million pieces so had to buy a new one, yet again from abroad with more expensive shipping and fees... soo yeah, great rifle indeed.
Luke ......any advice on what i need to make an AK (330fps) fire it's furthest distance??....bad knees mean I'm fucked on running and jumping around...and after having a little boy late last year I just don't have the cash to get it teched for me....any advice would be appreciated cheers in advance fella.
I seen a couple pictures just last night of some fool in the middle of the woods laying in a puddle with his weapon as well as all his gear. Except, that he was wearing Alpine camo... In the woods!! Un-fucking-believable. Some people man, idk what the hell they're thinking.
Damn I wish I would have remembered what you said about the internal bearing gears in a v3 gearbox before building a customer's aug hours of trying different nozzles/pistons and buckings once I switched out the gears It worked flawlessly. I just really wanted it to have the smooth cycle of those gears so bad. Live and learn I guess.
I broke my wrist before. I think it never healed properly because I kept working. Found it really hard using my left hand to brush my teeth and wipe my arse. Hope you heal up well.
Luke, there's a difference between lapping and polishing a barrel. Lapping is using a rod with compound and going back and forth with no rotation in order to smooth out imperfections from back to front, instead.
"Sniper" is 100% one of the biggest gripes I have with airsoft terminology.....it's a "bolty", a long rifle, a bolt-action, a sniper rifle, a money sink but it's not a fucking sniper. *deep breath*
I think it's actually frank klepacki's track from red alert classic I'm gonna have to check I actually recommended that Luke checks out his music because it fit his particular style the electronic and the heavy metal aspects
@Negative Airsoft Yesterday, I got to fire the man from Inverness’s G3 that you put together What a fcuking tool that is 😎 Sounds totally different to my standard JG G3! He’s a happy bunny
Yeah, me to. Best part is everyone says tm is the best and then replace all the parts that make the bb shoot and hop. Then why do you start with a tm if you replace everything that has influence on the bb? For my hpa mp7 if have started with a Well, changed the gearbox for a hpa unit, hopup unit for the bullgear hopup, nineball bucking and other inner barrel. After that replaced the body for a tm body because it's a bit better quality than the Well, but afterwards not worth the hassle.
Thoughts on airsoft retailers who will not let you test fire a gun on their range until you've purchased it? They have shelf guns and a range and they wont bloody damn let me fire the shelf gun to feel the recoil on a KWA aeg3 that I might buy that day... Why they so precious?
It's funny how you recommend Cyma (and I personally recommend them too as a basic no nonsense option for players getting into airsoft, especially on the AK side of things) but one particular shop in London (won't say their name or shop name but ends with 'Armouries'), I know the owner. Nice guy, older fellow but absolutely REFUSES to work on Cyma, his reason being that they're 'shit TM clones' (irony that he recently worked on a Double Bell AK and that wasn't a particularly great one). Which is hilarious considering that Cyma AKs range from TM style clones to LCT style clones, and other techs I know have only good things to say about Cyma on a performance level and being able to work on one versus more exotic guns. And from personal experience, they last quite long in spite of hard use.
16:58 My scorpion HATES it when I insert the mag without holding down the mag release, Otherwise the knocker fucks up or something, and I get a jam mid way through the mag.
I have been telling people this for years . People will argue all day that a heavier bb goes further, no sir it does not . You have to have the ass to push the bb .
Fields with power limits mean that a BB of a given weight has a maximum velocity it can go. Period. Hop will compensate for drop up to a point, but at the end of the day hurling a lighter thing faster will generally go farther... but wind will muck with you more. BB weight is some crazy crap. I tend to stick with the .20g as I play indoors and wind is fuck all inside a building so I benefit from the flatter, faster BB. yay me.
@@TheActionBastard not true largely I’m afraid. But we are talking about generalities here. In general a heavier BB will be longer ranged and more accurate for a given power level IF you can efficiently hop it. There is a drop off again when a BB gets too heavy and the Replica needs to rob too much energy to hop it. Also, Heavier BBs carry their energy for longer and will be faster to target than a lighter one over longer distances. For example a .32g gets to 30m faster than a .20g out of a 1.1J UK AEG if it can efficiently lift it.
@@TheActionBastard this is legit the stupidest comment I've read. A heavier bb with the exact same kinetic energy will go further. Heavier BBS are less affected by drag caused by air friction, and due to their higher density, they conserve their Magnus effect for longer. Learn some physics why don't you.
@@NegativeAirsoftTech I guess that’s what I meant. Who would I request them from? The team our shop sponsors all run AK’s. Majority are G&G and a few have had ETU issues which we got replacements for from our G&G distributor. Would like to have an option in my back pocket because I’m not terribly happy with the optical options current available for the V3
I actually was quite close doing that with the tm recoil only changed the battery connector and given the spare battery to a mate that owns the m4 mws if I recall. So Instead I got a gbbr 😁😅
The song playing during the AK rant sounds like frank klepacki's work and I like it, if it is good on ya for checking his stuff out I knew it was your style given the stuff you listen to already
@@NegativeAirsoftTech I mentioned him a while back and you sounded interested, that song you showed is basically his type of stuff like his work is very interesting, but it's a mix of like soft like beats and electronic tunes from the 90's to songs that people know from the first moment if you've ever heard the marching tune and bass/guitar riffs of hell march you've heard his music before and his style has never been consistent but holy fuck it's just good
Maple Leaf hopup isn't very good....compare to hopup on good guns. And the overuse of Crazy Jet is killing me. But I have to say, Primary Pistols are great.
hey welcome back missed you lover , is it time for a diet change dude intermittent fasting fade out the refined sugars wheats , gather some lysergic blotter and a little more outside . work load permitting .
About the v3 semi lock, just remove the back pin for the select switch and you'll get yourself a mechanical semi locked v3 gearbox. You can also "glue" the selector plate in place just in case you don't want any unwanted auto mishaps. No need to change anything inside the gearbox. If someone is using a certain mosfet(you know what i'm talking about), well then you can bypass that but that's just a really really bad idea.
