The Official Questions Thread Version: "Charlies in the trees, what do I need to get rid of them?" - General

anyone have any experience with [url=http://www.evike.com/products/46254/]this part[/url] that can tell me the diameter of the interior?

anyone own the KWA ERG? wanting to know how easy it is to swap gear sets.

[QUOTE=upsideonion;44154298]Where does the chicom rig go on the chest? I have seen people wearing it up high on their chest and some wearing it just above the belt. Or is there no specific way? pls respond[/QUOTE] When I had one, I wore it higher up on my chest so I had my flexibility. That's what I would say to do to keep it from flopping or limiting your movement

[QUOTE=Fish Muffin;44154138]Dude, you have a Loch'n'load how is it not obvious[/QUOTE] Because I'm also the giant with the machine gun and I built all my scary stuff from scratch, and Timebomb is more of a demoman than I am. I feel so conflicted.

Can someone please explain to me, or link me to a page explaining the mystical science of LiPo shit? People say it's simple but for the life of me I cannot understand it. A few specific questions if anyone is any good with them: What the hell is a MOSFET for? I had one once and it burst into flames when I plugged the battery in. What happens if you drain the battery? I heard bad things. How do I not drain the battery? Isn't that the point? How do I properly use a LiPo and MOSFET so that I do not have another MOSFET meltdown? This is so goddamn confusing. [editline]7th March 2014[/editline] I really want to switch to LiPo because all my NiMh's are dead and only lasted half a game when they were alive. Also trigger response.

Lipos are easy. If the firerate goes down, stop shooting and don't shoot anymore because if you do, the battery might catch fire. That and they're not super resistant to sharp pointy things unlike nimh's which have a metal case around them, so just be a little more careful.

So should I buy one of those plug n' play MOSFET's to put between the LiPo and the gun to save the trigger contacts? I'd like to put off opening the gearbox on the gun in question as long as possible because for some reason it's working beautifully.

Are there trademarked WE MSKs that I don't know about? Some dude on reddit is selling like 50 airsoft guns and the tan MSK he's selling has black tape on the receiver. I'm waiting to hear from him about it.

Well shit. I'm god-awful at wiring/soldering. How quickly will a LiPo destroy a set of stock contacts?

Not for nothing, but people say you NEED a mosfet and I've run some pretty heavy lipos with no problems.

VFC or G&P AR for a first airsoft gun and why? I love both companies but am just curious if either has an edge over the other as far as a "first gun" kinda thing goes. The person in question will be able to borrow mags and batteries from me and be able to get tech help from me, so I'm thinking more of any specific features that'll make it easier to use for a new player

G&P for a first. Don't have to worry about self-shimming gears, cheaper, idk what else. Not a USA G&P tho.

Ok, so I know this has been asked 100 times (and indeed answered 100 times) - a few times on this very forum, but I'm going to ask anyway because I've not been able to get a definitive answer. What's the best 0.25g bb money can buy in the UK? I'm running a GBBR setup now, so price isn't an issue because I won't be firing a whole ton of them - I'm happy to fork out for anything that might raise the accuracy on the thing and keep the barrel clear of shattered BBs (a problem I've encountered a couple of times with Madbull stuff). I realise a lot of BBs available in the US and Asia simply aren't available over here, but I'm not adverse to importing some with my next order from wherever because I really don't get through many. Again, apologies for the boring question, but it really isn't something that any amount of Googling has helped with so far.

[QUOTE=Zao Medong;44160805]Well shit. I'm god-awful at wiring/soldering. How quickly will a LiPo destroy a set of stock contacts?[/QUOTE] my old VFC lasted a while with stock contacts. if you want a dropin fet i've had ascus in my aegs, they're a dropin for V2(some shells need some dremel work tho), not sure about their V3, does use a microswitch tho so it's good if you want a shorter pull or some shit, AB is the one con i know :(

i run 11.1s and shoot a lot, and after 5 months the contacts were in pretty ok condition and it still shot well but other shit was wearing down [editline]8th March 2014[/editline] my merge :(

Huh. Well that's good to hear. I'll probably just go without the MOSFET in that case, since this is just being done as a way of making my backup gun more skirmishable in the event of my primary breaking down, so it won't see [I]too[/I] much use.

[QUOTE=Biscuit-Boy;44168857]Oh you semilucky sonufabech. Story of my life: Biscuit sees WE MSK on innernet. "i need dis" life end[/QUOTE] I think the guy that writes this blog works there. [url]http://overhoppers.wordpress.com/[/url] He has a nice overview on that MSK and other shiet edit: Does anyone have experience with bringing gear and attachments on international flights? I'm thinking of getting some gear in the Philippines and it is so cheap there. Bad Idea?

On inter-US flights you can declare them as checked items just as you can with real firearms, without issue. I don't know exactly how the Canada-Phillipino side of things would work though, since I don't know whether they allow real or toy firearms.

Is there a list of all cyma models and what they are?

I would rather be safe than sorry, but probably nothing.
