  1. Is there a way to stop the Tapatalk splash screen appearing whenever I access Arnies from an Android web browser? I have nothing against Tapatalk per se. I don't use it and would like to have a way to permanently say no I dont want to install it. It seems to be a feature of the mobile version of the IP Board system across several sites including Arnies. Of preference I prefer not to have my web browsing hijacked by application installers please.
  2. I have been pointed to a post in the old projects section of Arnies by Mobius Strip. It is an article he wrote on WA SVI Trigger tuning. He sent me a link which works ok. It is http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/projects/custom_svs/sv_trigger/triggerjob_svi_hi-cap.htm Having been pointed at the article, which is excellent and very informative, I thought I would look further in to the archives for any other gems. However the link on the Arnie's News page in the Archived Sections to Projects, which has a link of http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/?filnavn=projects/projects.htm, doesn't seem to go anywhe
  3. I only post where I can make a useful contribution to the community or where I have a question I can't find an answer to. I could post more but I feel I would be posting just for the sake of it and that rankles with me. I have no great urge to the sales forums although it would be interesting. I am just finding the qualifying conditions seem a little stiff for people in my situation trying to comply with the rules
  4. I think I consider myself a noob still on here and I have been airsofting and on arnies for coming up to 2 years. As with someone else I am not rushing to up my post count but at this rate it is going to take me 4 years to qualify for the sales section. I am no spotty yoof I am a beardy old git. While I can understand the desire to maintain the status quo does it not seem a little daft to have a restriction that can take 4 years for me or even 8 years for an earlier poster (4 years in and approx 50 posts gone) to qualify for. You can get a degree in that time! With the restrictions li
  5. Sorry to come to this somewhat after the event but just to try and avoid a misunderstanding propogating. There a few things not quite right with the above explanation of the reason why a GBB weapon cools when fired.1 An expanding liquid does not turn in to a gas because it is expanding. A liquid turns in to a gas if enough energy is present to cause it to change state. For example heat a pan of water to make it boil and generate steam. Heat is applied to the water to change it's state in to steam. There is a pressure relationship as well, drop the pressure and you meed less energy to change st
  6. A bit more research shows that my caveat re UV lasers is equally applicable to UV LEDs so please be really careful. Dont look in to UV LEDs or any UV light source. Dont shine UV LEDs or any UV light sources on your skin. If you build them in to something make sure you, or anyone else using the something, wont be exposed to any UV leaking out of anywhere.
  7. I suspect the answer to your question is down to light frequency. I have recently been tinkering with some luminous powders / pigments from a US company called Glow Inc http://glowinc.com/ which I got years ago for something else but have found new purpose for making iron sights glow in the dark. These pigment powders use treated zinc sulphide phosphours which is best stimulated, like fluorescent paints, by ultra violet light. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_paint). I bought a cheapy UV pen torch from Maplins and also a couple of UV LEDs and some even cheaper Rolson LED torches which I
