Cruiser1068 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 The digicon is a target pistol basically, they design it with no hop-up and to use their .3g bb's <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ??? Well the description says it comes with .43g BB's but is happy using .2g at expense of accuracy. I'm happy using the heavier ammo, many people have advised me to use heavier ammo in more powerful pistols to improve accuracy and "stopping power"...why would this be no good for skirmishing and bottom line....how quiet is it???

If it's designed to shoot 0.43g BBs any useful distance then it will be well over 1J power. I think when Sale talks about "cutting the slide" of a gun he just means chopping it about, doing whatever you've gotta do, to get the silencer adaptor to fit. Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 i read somewhere they do 300fps out of the box so they are a no no if thats right will see if i can find out where i read that again Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget this is sold as a target pistol. TBH, if you're gonna get a gun just for target shooting you might as well get an air pistol cos it'll shoot pellets which are more stable and, therefore, better for target shooting.

flint Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I have a new P99 nbb that I just used in the first skirmish this weekend. It shot great on propane. No issues at all. I chrono'd it at 390 out of the box. (edit: w/ .25's) I wouldn't call it silent. It was quiet enough that I got several kills where they couldn't tell where I was hiding. I haven't had it long enough to give a solid recommendation but so far I love it. Link to post Share on other sites

Needs to be legal (ish) and silent. But like I said, I have this gorgeous leather moulded holster for a 92F beretta so if I could find one that fits the bill based on a 92F then thats what I would go for....hence my questions about the Digicon and the Marushin Taurus. I will call Airsoft Dynamics tomorrow and see if they can give me some more detailed gen on the two guns with particular regard their power and silentness. It seems hard to get detailed info on anything but the most popular weapons. Why these companies dont have decent (english language) websites with full product specs is beyond me, it would make buying a lot easier Link to post Share on other sites
Sale Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Digicon guns should be within legal limits if you stick to HFC134a. My Digicon Desert Eagle (6" model) shoots 0.36g BB's dead on at 10m with GG at room temperature. The sights are zeroed so that the BB makes a high ballistic arc to compensate for lack of hop up. It can be used for skirmishing (where legal), but if you want to use lighter BB's you need a hop up system of some kind. ------- What I meant by cutting the slide is only making room for the adapter. It goes over the outer barrel so you need to make the hole in the slide bigger. You can only do cosmetic damage, because the guns work even with the slide completely removed. Another option would be to replace the outer barrel with an extended threaded model. Again as the parts are stationary, it should be fairly simple to adapt a barrel made for a GBB pistol of similar model, say a KJW USP or Marui Beretta. ---------- One thing a crazy DIY guy did to his KJW USP Tactical was that he blocked the movement of the valve lock on the magazine. The result was a very silent pistol (with a First Factory Knight's suppressor on it), but he had to rack the slide manually between shots. Very realistic if you ask me, but not too handy in a skirmish. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 It seems like a lot of work, considering you can just pay a £100 for a silenced pistol, ready to go. But, I guess it depends what Cruiser wants. Link to post Share on other sites

He recommended the Socom....theres no getting away from it is there!!!! Im gonna play with one later today hopefully so we shall see. Link to post Share on other sites

Krazy L Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I want a digicon for pocket sniper rifle. but that is just me. any way. does anyone know of a holster that will hold the p99 with tac light and silencer. Link to post Share on other sites
IronWolf Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 This should work, you could also try a Guarder tornado holster . Both are based off of the same design Link to post Share on other sites

ViscountCharles Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Put me down as another vote for the P99 on the grounds of ergonomics. With the stock silencer it's a TINY bit noisier than the SOCOM, but add a Laylax SOCOM silencer and I reckon it's quieter than a gnat farting. Link to post Share on other sites

Cruiser1068 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Bah got to the shop and the guy says he hasn't got any in despite telling me on the phone he had one. OK, next question...if I go for the Socm then I dont want that hand cannon strapped to my thigh as it will severely hamper my crawling and running ability. Waist holster no good as drawing it will be damn near impossible so it will have to be a vertical shoulder holster so i hangs down under my left arm. I wont be bothering with the LAM as by all accounts its *beep*. So can anyone recommend a decent quality shoulder holster big enough to take this monstrosity...preferably in black. And Sid re your mag guide....you said to some guy that if he was in the states to buy a different type of mag: Quote: "If you're in the USA your best bet is to buy KJW/STTi mags instead of Marui ones" and he wouldnt have the problem....why not in the UK? Dont they sell them? Link to post Share on other sites
