General Airsoft Discussion / Re: Stupid FPS question
« on: November 17, 2008, 09:56:09 AM »
Just a small work up from the calculation program on Arnie's Airsoft

Uilizing the Joules and BB wight it seems that these are the FPS  that equal each other for the different wieght BB.

.33 @ 326.01 FPS = 1.63 Joules
.28 @ 353.92 FPS = 1.63 Joules
.25 @ 374.55 FPS = 1.63 Joules
.20 @ 418.76 FPS = 1.63 Joules

I believe that (from calculations using the same Joules) the .20 @ 400 is under the FPS of the .25 @ 375 FPS.

Reviews / Re: CYMA M14 full version

This looks good and was one that I was looking to buy (specially because of the price and a good review). But I don't know if I trust CYMA yet. Luckly i found a G&G m14 for 170 and I jumped on it. I must say this was a way better buy. I am super happy with my purchase. But for my next AEG I will consider a CYMA.

I can tell you that the FPS varies. I bought one from Airsoft GI and the QC paperwork stated 375. I checked it with TSD Bio .20g BB's and it was actually more like 385, yes, out of the box. I can say the one I got is extremely accurate and it is very solid. However I am finding that getting lowcap or midcap mags is virtually impossible. Airsplat used to have the deepfire mags but I guess they are no longer carrying them and I can't seem to find any other places that have them.

This will hopefully make things easy to understand:
1.) Set up the U.A.R.C.
2.) Get groups to follow the same rules/regulations set forth by the committee attending the meetings.
3.) Be diligent in your efforts, and grow the U.A.R.C. into a viable voice for part of the airsofting community.
4.) The majority of Airsoft Arizona won't be attending the meetings, as there is already an established rule set that has been followed for a while now that closely resembles the larger game rules that we attend across the nation.
5.) Things will essentially stay the same and the world keeps on a'spinnin.

You can never expect everyone to follow your lead, but that doesn't make it a reason not to try it.


Thank you Ron,
The offer was placed out and those who wish to attend when this takes place please do so, otherwise thank you for your comments. They have actually given a new light to the ways of some airsofters, not all as a whole.

I am glad you brought up these points. It is possibly too soon for this idea, but then again I feel if we are to gain any true respect within the LE and government communities we need to be fully organized.

Do you like football? Baseball, Soccer, Hockey?
It started out the same way now it is recognized across the country at a Governmental level and has legal standing. They all have one major thing in common, and national set of rules which they all abide by. I am sure there were people who criticized and scoffed at the idea of a national set of rules but they exist now. Hmmm what other sport started out such as airsoft..... oh thats right PAINTBALL! Now it is nationally recognized as well.

Perhaps this community is not ready for this idea.

As for the money aspect... I get nothing from this nor do I want anything from this except possibly the feeling that I have done something to further airsoft and make it more acceptable in the eyes of the community. As for money I could care less, AND that is in general.

As for the minors issues that is really for the law to figure out, the minors comments made above were and example of the differences in rules and reg.

However your comments are greatly appreciated as this help me and anyone else who may read this thread to discover just how much further airsoft needs to go.

Thank you for the input.

No, thank you.

But, out of curiosity, what sort of rules were you thinking of, Bucket?


That is the point of the entire conference is so that all of the orgs can help in the design of a set of universal regs. I have been reading a bit on a few police forums and can tell you the general consensus is that our airsoft weapons should be bright pink. I don't know about you but I really don't like that idea.

Also the Fact that TAC has a rule for full face masks for minors and AA doesn't, Word is that AA doesn't allow minors, however the catch is that minor must be accompanied by an adult or sponsor. Now you have TAC disallowing any game to be posted on their forum if the rules do not meet or exceed their rules. This means that since AA allows minors without facemasks, even though they are acompanied, this ruling could be taken many ways. If there was a universal rule this would not even be an issue and would give no minor the right to argue the point.

Personally, and I have heard from Kiley that he believes this is a good idea to unite the airsoft orgs in AZ under one universal set of regulations. If you don't believe Kiley would support this take a look here... http://www.tucsoncoalition.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=2348

This could also include a lecture from the LE side of the story to give airsofter a better idea of the laws and how they are interpreted insted of any guessing. I have begun research into the waiver usage in AZ and have found out that the ONLY reason the previous cases involving minors were ruled in favor of the minor is because the language in the waiver was too ambiguous. However there have also been cases where the waiver was too explicit in the wording as well.

The reasons behind the conference are many. All to help benefit airsoft as a whole. True you could do the universal rules all on your own, but who has the time? I do.

Who has ever tried this before? None to my knowledge. Instead of asking why, why not ask why not?

Check the Arizona State Land GIS System on the AZ state land website. Look for BLM and then contact your local blm office to find out what areas are available for you to play on.

BLM does have specific rules. We have had great comm with our local office and no trouble on BLM. Just follow their rules.

It seems to be straight. I tried what you said using an old window and rolling it across it.

I don't know much about them so I have to ask, what nub?

I hope that didn't sound stupid.

Troubleshooting / accuracy problem

I have tried several different settings on the hop up and have checke the barell best as I can. It doesn't seem to that but the rounds get out about 50 foot and begin to curve left. Any suggestions on what it could be?

Tried searching but didn't find anything that would explain it.

Thanks in advance
