  1. i sometimes notice if i press the trigger too fast it locks up so i have to full auto it and return to single shot.

    Any suggestions

    morb , have you done eny internal work to your socom or is it still stock ? reason i ask is i"ve had lock a few times as well and mine had been worked on by the giy i bought it off (though i"d be suprised if its his work as he has a very good name for him self from working on gear boxes) .

  2. Ego , beat me too it was going to ask same question as i had the same thing happen to me at the Mall last sunday , at the time i did wonder was i pulling the trigger too fast and was that causing the problem or was it down to the fact it was fricking cold ! . Richard will give the grip thump a try if it happens again , cheers for that idea .

  3. I will point some things I discovered from annother forum, about the use of superglue as an alternative to sutures.

    1) it was never intended as the best option for closing a wound, it was developed for battlefield use, when medics might not have time to apply sutures ect, before moving the casualty

    2) it can cause burns. the bonding is a chemical reaction, which creates heat, and so it can cause burns around the wound, making things more complex

     

    hospitals only use glue when sutures are not going to be effective (for example they use glue on the scalp, where sutures don't really have enough to hold onto)

    sorry mate , the info you"ve posted up is quite wrong , 1) glue IS just about the best way to close a wound , 2) it was not "developed for the battle field" the use of glue was developed in plastic surgery ,3) glue burning the skin never seen it happen 4) as to sutureing the scalp , i could give you a long list of diffrent styles of sutureing just for the scalp .

    Fire NL , nice one mate thats a usefull little tip for players ;)

  4. I have a basic first aid kit with me on both fishing trips and airsoft games, and on both occations I have used it. Nothing fancy tough, but I am considering taking with me a suture kit aswell. (Ive had some advanced first aid training).

    from the point of view of an A+E nurse i"d ask are you playing in areas that you will not be able to get the patient to hospital from in less than 24 hours ? if you can get help in under 24hrs then please please don"t try and suture your self , just put a pressure dressing on it and leave well alone . you start field sutureing and you will be doing the casualty no favours at all , the risk of complications are just too great (infection,loss of vascular return,tissue necrosis ) .

    also if eny one is going to use super glue on lacerations again please don"t but go to hospital to get it sorted by the professionals ods are the wounds going to need cleaning to get all the ###### out of it before its sealed to avoid infection . but if you are still going ahead i"d say only do it if ;1 its a fresh un-opened tube(its sterile untill its opened) , 2 only use it on "surface cuts" not on deep lacerations , 3 leave a small part of the cut un glued at the bottom (to allow drainege from the wound) .

  5. Can the A&K Masada take TM/G&P type aftermarket outer barrles? Or are you stuck with that barrel length when you buy it?

    you can get a 11.5 barrel set from Monda for it as an after market extra , comes complete with an inner barrel and hop unit already fitted so you can do straight barrel changes with out haveing to swap the hop unit around .
