PDI Socom
M24 Manual: You can now find the "out the box"
manual for the PDI M24 here,
or on the reviews page.
G3SG1
Fixed! -The good news is that the SG1
is fixed (I couldn't leave it broken for longer than 24hours).
- I took it to bits over breakfast. It transpires that I had snapped
the cylinder nozzle off in the hop-up unit. I took a whole load
of pictures as I stripped the G3, they should prove to be useful
for anyone planning on working on a G3 for the first time. When
I've finished the article, it will be found in the new 'Articles'
section.
Major
site re-hash: I've been re-organising the site contents..
If you find a link doesn't work or an image that's missing, then
email me. Everything
should be ok though, as I've checked most of it myself here. You'll
now find a new articles section on the LHS nav-bar now. I'm
going to use this section for any documents that I can't fit anywhere
else.
Sunday's
Skirmish @ Combat South: I'm happily recovering from a
very fun, but completely "knackering" day at Combat
South. It was a great day had by all, (at least no-one picked
any fights - that I saw). It was nice to meet a few people
that until yesterday I had only talked to via IRC or email.
Now about this
Socom M24 of
Mike's... What more can I say, other than "I want one"?
Mike was kind enough to let me use it for the last game where we
attacked the radio-shack, and I happily sat well out of the range
of the defender's AEG's and picked off five members of the opposition
in succession... It's amusing watching your target through a 4x
scope wondering where the hell the shot that hit them came from.
Oh, another
general piece of advice that I can offer from my trials and tribulations
on Sunday is: Don't fall on an AEG, and don't fall with
it firing. I unfortunately had a rather nasty fall when attacking
"Hamburger Hill", and went down heavily on some logs with
"The Lady" (my SG1)
firing. When I hit the ground I broke the feeding mechanism, so
at the moment, everythings ok on the rifle (i.e. the gearbox turns,
gas is pushed through the barrel, and I didn't snap it in two),
but the nozzle that is on the front of the cylinder doesn't move
back and forth, hence bb's won't load into the hop-up unit. - I'll
have a look at it this evening and see what damage I've caused...
As usual if there are any interesting photos to take I'll snap a
few with the camera and put them up - Maybe I'll start an SG1 dissassembly
guide, that's similar to the AK47
guide I wrote.
My thanks go
out to everyone who went yesterday, as it was one of the
most fun skirmishes I've had at CS,
and as usual it's the people that go that make the whole day worthwhile.
(If the fellow
who I met at CS,
with the broken AK47s is reading this - you'll want to have a read
of this page)
