AEG's / Re: Tru-Hop: Custom made, high performance bucking.
« on: December 14, 2015, 10:07:32 PM »
Over my balcony from inside my apartment with drawn shades through a cracked door to an uninhabited building across the way---would be more accurate.
I don't take it out in public which is why I'm limited to that distance.

I put it on my 509 Prommy under HPA power (110/red).
Unfortunately my available distance to measure (according to google earth) taps out at 240 feet because I live in an apartment complex and have to test from my balcony shooting across the ways.
It sails true to the end whereas my g&g would start to fall off at 150 and my favorite systema at 200 without arcing.
Granted that may be my own failing as merely a decent tech, but take me as the lowest common denominator and it shows the hopups great promise were it put in the hands of an expert.
I will try again to get some fps numbers if I can get some decent lighting for my chrono.
In time, when I get more free time I plan on swapping out nozzles on my pstar to give effective data over as much of the fps range I can manage, having all nozzles.

« on: October 09, 2015, 11:11:54 AM »Part of the reason P* DMRs might not be allowed is that you can change the "semi auto only" feature by adjusting your FCU after chrono. Personally I wish they would allow P* DMRs because I am about to build one.
Some games in the past used to use those warranty stickers, along with tourney locks.

« on: October 09, 2015, 11:09:43 AM »No, its purely field management. I.E. commonly AEGs are 400 with .25; HPA systems are relegated to 350 with .20g. Because magics. Theyre still not mainstream so I think it boils down to jealousy; there's no logical argument.
And like here, HPAs are locked into their own one category for all. You can't have a DMR or sniper HPA.
In the Tucson area, the pay field limits are 400 fps with .2's but they don't even ask what weight you are using and supply no BB's for chrono. California did the same which caused the issue on the pay fields there. .43's at 400 is the same energy as .20's at 585 FPS. Combine that with 40+ RPS, with an unlimited supply of BB's, and air due to 15 minute evolutions. Then POOF, magic. Also, most new Chinese clone AEG's shoot nearly 400 fps with .25's out of the box. That's not too smart with the short or no MED's.
In those CQB arenas all guns should be at 1.2 joules. However, that would diminish the number of eligible players with new, stock AEG's, which is norm out there.
Of course not. What I'm on about is that you can limit an HPA rifle to perform like its aeg/spring counterpart. But they just drop them into their own lesser category. There are MED/pistol only ranges for sniper setups, whats wrong with an HPA following those rules? HPAs have no magic; they shouldn't be treated as such.

« on: October 09, 2015, 09:47:41 AM »Hmm. As a user of both AEG's and HPA systems myself, I can't see why there is an issue with a 1.55 joule limit. The limit is set across the board for all non "sniper" semi only/bolt actions. Personally, I feel that 1.55 joules are low for open desert, field play in here in Arizona, or anywhere else that has our conditions. As many people can attest, they have been witness to me wiping out entire squads at well over 300 feet with a model that is shooting within 1.55 joules. But I am a 1.82 Joule kind of guy.
Doing limits by joules is a far superior and safer method than by FPS though. Using joules limits "joule creeping" by using the BB's that the play is playing with on the field.
However, I do not understand why LC does not allow HPA in a model that fits all the criteria of "sniper" guns.
Thats what Im saying. They, and that definition seems to be spreading, treat HPA guns as magic. Somehow, if they adhere to the rules for a typed gun, they are breaking the rules. By magic. The whole notion of creep is dealt with by calling out the parameters that are normally called out. Once it leaves the barrel at a given velocity the gun is out of the equation---why does the powerplant make a difference? piston or solenoid, they both use air to push a bb.
Is there a bill in the works? I haven't been able to find anything.
No, its purely field management. I.E. commonly AEGs are 400 with .25; HPA systems are relegated to 350 with .20g. Because magics. Theyre still not mainstream so I think it boils down to jealousy; there's no logical argument.

What do you mean?
BBs are ballistic. Once they leave the barrel they are no longer being acted upon by the gun.
Some people started getting the notion that somehow a bb traveling at a set velocity being propelled by air from a tank is different than air coming from a piston. Here in calistan, they equate .2g bb @360fps (1.2J) fired from any HPA system as having the same KE as a .3g @ 500fps (3.48J) fired by a bolty or even an AEG. Like HPA tanks grant you the ability to pour more speed in to a bb after it has left your barrel.
So they ban them or lock them down to ludicrous or unplayable ranges and can't give a reasonable explanation as to why.
AZ held out for several years but it seems the irrationality has spread. Though its a little higher but it is still the same premise. Have an HPA or gas bolty? Limited.

On the P-star rule.
Are all pstars relegated to 1.55J only? Or can those set up for snipers/dmr adhere to those rules?

« on: July 11, 2014, 10:42:30 PM »Old guy, from an old team, here. I know this is not a discussion on camo, I think the thread owner, all of W1A, and XM, most of whom know me, will allow me, as a 21 year veteran of the United States Army to say one thing.
Although, I do find it flattering that people want to look the part as soldiers, SEALs, airmen, and Marines, many men and women like me disagree, and find it insulting. Also, for the most part and with a few exceptions, most look like crap. Faded, dilapidated, and unserviceable. I saw a kid at a 6CA game with MC trousers bellow his butt cheeks. Made me ill. With that common people, who love this country, may see you and think you are a service member. Its no different than putting on a police uniform and walking into Circle K. Current US government camos, AOR1, AOR2, Multicam, ABU, and UAC should be left to the service members they are intended for.
With all that rant, I'm bringing some Hawks out of Tucson. Its been real dead down here since LC. Desert DPM, of course (with a little A-TACS AU, and coyote, no green no MC).
