NoGoodNick Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Thats even worse. If you did that on the load command i'd shoot you myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you did that on the load command i'd shoot you myself. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dude all of what he said should be done before or during the load command. I mean all I can spot that does actualy change place which range you go to is when you put up the iron sights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Forward assists are dangerous. An American gunsmith once pointed out: "If a round doesn't want to chamber properly, why the f**k would you try and force it? Re-cock the action and load anoher round."

Kipper Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 the SA80 uses FMRL (forward motion rotary locking) There are splines on the bolt and on the chamber.. sometimes the return springs cant alway lock it forward, so you give it a knock just in case Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoGoodNick Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) Shocking rifle drill there 1:safety catch 2:set to repetative 3:insert mag of X rounds 4:over hand and cock the rifle 5:forward assist 6:(iron sights only) raise sights <{POST_SNAPBACK}> uhhhhm... On the command load, i would not make the rifle ready... I would make the rifle ready on the command "ready".. Edited December 18, 2005 by NoGoodNick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lance Jackass Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 LMAO Things may have changed since my spell in Vietnam but: Load: -Safety catch -Set change lever to repitition -Open pouch -Check top rounds are seated correctly -Insert mag -Tug down on mag to insure its fitted right -Close pouch Ready: -Safety catch -Change lever to repitition -Sights up (with L98 set to 300 - with SUSAT probably the same) -Left hand over and cock action -Forward assist Unload: -Safety catch -Change lever to repitition -Open pouch -Remove magazine and place in open pouch -Full NSP (cock hook look, front centre, rear x2 and down, release bolt, aimed shot, safety catch, dust cover, sights set to 300 and folded down) -Close pouch Make safe... nope sorry ive lost the will to live now. Anywho whats this got to do with airsoft? All you do is change mags and apply the safety occasionally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Considering 'make safe' in airsoft is 'fire at the ground a bit'. I hope that's not how it's down in the Forces And LJ; I'm afraid I'm going to have to shoot you myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
American GI Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 The vids were there to illustrate the rifles cocking actions after the mod mhad been completed. Not for rifle drill(which I'm very good at) nor NSP's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kipper Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Youll also notice that the video was called load and MAKE READY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
American GI Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 WellI named it that because it was, besided my digi cam is *beep*, so I have around a few seconds to do everything after keeping it warm, until the bugger shuts down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helios Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 uhhhhm... On the command load, i would not make the rifle ready... I would make the rifle ready on the command "ready".. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think you care too much about something which has no real relevance to airsoft... If you are so bothered about it, I suggest you join the Small Arms School Corps, they're always looking for people like you, so you'd be right at home. Or perhaps you should just shoot yourself, would save us all some time and money. - On a side note, you don't really need to forward assist an A2, as they replaced the springs with stronger ones (with a red paint band on the base iirc), but I guess it's still taught due to health/safety and if something went wrong and someone didn't forward assist they can't claim anything. Similar(ish) thing with the GPMG drill, you don't lift the feed tray and check the chamber on 'Unload'. If the round cooks off with the feed tray lifted, injuring the firer, he has no claim because he shouldn't have lifted the feed tray. If the round cooks off, the feed tray not having been lifted, the firer gets done for ND. Risk assessment and health & safety etc. I believe this is correct, feel free to point me in the right the direction if I am wrong though. Helios Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 A real world make safe clears the chamber and then refits the mag. In airsoft that wouldnt work at all! Back to the world of airsoft...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
singleshot Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi, my name is overly obsessed with things that don't pertain to the subject in an attempt to look smart. How are you today? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz888 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Well after reading al of the above,I just hope the gun is as good as it should be as i have just ordered one and hopefully it will arrive before xmas. I couldnt stretch to the susat though,so that will have to wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
American GI Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Update: The modification on the cocking handle has been improved. To version 1.12 which is basically a larger and stronger spring instead of rubberbands and original spring now it is Hot, Will post a vid soon, the benefits include more realism and probably never need to ajust the cocking spring ever again If other airsofters are looking to do the mod then PM me and I can get the springs sent. They are special and proper hard to find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz888 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 received my L85 carbine yesterday and i am glad to say that it has surpassed my expectations,it is very well made and feels like real steel weight,its comfortable to hold and as soon as i've charged the battery I will test how it fires and compare it with my other aeg`s (ICS M4,TM M4 S-System.upgraded etc).Post results soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
American GI Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 WHats the point? Yes it fired good. end of. Range a good 50-60 meters at eversley on sunday. It has the range of an M14. the ROF of an upgraded aeg(as you expect), on an 8.4v, if your not nice with it it missfires because of the trigger machanism(which happened to a mate of mine), if your good with it and do bursts instead of burning off the mag then it actually feels better firing it. Yep, it is quiet and noise absorbed by the steel. The carbine version is the same but for one major difference it is butt ugly. The custom battery is a must, you can go for 2 days play with it. It also sits prfectly in the handguard but needs a bit of foam padding to keep it from rattling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
American GI Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 The SUSAT provides too much magnification for airsoft skirmishing, the mag is 4X and is too powerful for airsoft guns. The best bet is to use the backup irons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice of you to be honest about this little pecadillo though. And since you ask, I'm just peachy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 If these prove popular it wont be lomg before their are SUSAT style redot's out. Probably not as well built as the Star 4x though, unless they make one them self. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S.o.D Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 yeah thanks this is a great review, i hope i can buy the L85 in germany soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
