    @EdSkar you'll be pleased to know that pistol survived longer than the larp system did and it became a cherished and hugely special in game item iconic to the character.

     

    Yeee, that thing I made is cooler than I will ever be!
    I'm actually really pleased with how that came out, the milliput and the graphite bluing both worked really well :) So yea happy others like it too.

    Sorry to hear about the medical stuff, hope there's some light in the tunnel for you soon 😕

    It's just a mock up, now a meme. To really work I'd have to cut the shells down the size of Aguila Minis which leaves them to hold 1bb. Box mag will be ditched as the magwell width itself is barely enough to fit the shell rim. Manually operated slide of course, but to make it cycle automatically I'm thinking of plugging the barrel and making the shell and chamber act as the nozzle and blow back chamber.

    Or make it a single shot, but with the original magazine and blowback unit. (maybe take the feedlips off). Make an extractor and it might even eject properly. then you chuck  in another shell and hit the slidelock.

    I've been on here for ages, can't actually remember the exact year I joined but I'm pretty sure I was on here when I was at university and that was pre-2006. Still come here for advice on technical stuff and to see of Renegade Cow has built anything new. I don't really post on FB airsoft groups, partly because I don't really want it linked to my facebook profile too heavily for a variety of reasons, and partly because the level of discourse on a lot of facebook groups is beyond idiotic. 

    I remember it well, it was July 9, 2006 when you joined (No I didn't look it up on your profile, what you talkin bout?)

    Nowadays the done thing seems to be discord, I actually set one up over a year ago and got side tracked... Let's see what happens eh... https://discord.gg/vNzf9jW

    joined. one of 5 users. It's a start.

  4. Actually yes, you are correct there. The A1 had a few different mag release styles but when they introduced the A2 there was a metal piece welded to the outside to protect it. There are also variants of the trigger that changed over the years so you might find A1s with different triggers but all the A2s have the same later design trigger.

  5. The L86 has a longer barrel than the L85. The 'A2' refers to an upgrade to the real firarms that was mostly internal, the only feature on an airsoft gun that's different is the charing handle.


    I also have the ICS L86 and it's fantastic other than the hop, over the years that plastic arm has given me so many problems with range. I've been looking at a metal replacement, but havn't found one yet.

  6. Are you sure?  They seemed pretty convincing to me.  SAW especially.  It was spitting out brass and links.  Looked legit.

    It's possible. Very common for non-firing shots to be filmed with replicas, especially when filming the scene over multiple days they only need to hire the firearms safety guy for the blankfirers for one day.

  7. Real bakelite or fake bakelite paint?

    Independently... nice!

    Knowing RC he probably made a mini can forge to smelt down blue PVC into actual bakelite, because screw how science works this is RC we're talking about.

  8. Not to mention been here god knows how long! 

     

     

    You're right, I've been here so long. Too long. Please excuse me whilst I delete my account and join all the Facebook groups, that's where the communi..... yea, no.

     

    Facebook is a TERRIBLE forum for online discussion, a 'forum' forum is a far better forum for a community. People come and go, but with the 100 post limit for sales it really limits how many comers we get and we're still having the goers as people leave the sport for whatever reason. I'm more in favor of removing the limit altogether, but if it were to stay, but with a reduced number, it would have to be closer to 25 or even 15. 50 posts is still too 'daunting'(for lack of a better word) for new people who are used to how the facebook groups work.

  9. i think one should be able to apply for permissions and be judged individually. i browse often, but seldom post. i have some great stuff to sell though.

     

     

    Unfortunately that would require a lot of interaction from mods/admins and that is the main reason behind all this, the 100 post limit is automated, and the reduction in sales issues clears a lot of working hours for the mods to do other things.

  10. I'm still in two minds about this. We used to have problems in the sales section until the 100 limit came along and I've not heard of any issues since (There probably have been some, but significantly fewer). But the trend of Facebook'softers who don't want to put in the effort of joining a community like a forum for long enough is going to, and has been, strangling the forum of new members.

    Keeping it protects us, but it also turns us into the internet equivalent of a gated community.

    Removing it completely gives us the influx of new airsoft proletariat and the opportunity to grow again.

     

    (obviously I'm overthinking this)

  11. That's the right way of doing it. Mine is still a bundle of parts in a bag waiting to be modified.

     

    Interesting choice of flash hider, not exactly period accurate.
