Quietness

Posted: January 31, 2012 in Uncategorized

Had a quiet night watching TV and may have snoozed a bit! Got a few gun tweaks to do this week but will leave till Thursday or Friday

-2 this morning certainly wakes you up defrosting the car. Think I have found the optimum position to park in my drive sheltered by the side of the house, may even attempt to put it in the garage it is possible

Just got back from a great day at Urban, may have been cold but it was eventful as ever

My M4 got a few comments about how loud it was and the rate of fire! Had a bit of a scary moment as was rinsing mags defending a building, but reloading is part of the fun

Ready To Go

All mags filled, batteries charged, ready to take on some CQB action tomorrow

Dinner & Mag Up

Just before getting all our stuff prepped for tomorrows airsoft I will be enjoying chicken in barbecue sauce on a bed of rice

Magpul

Finally got a black Magpul Masada PTS these are getting harder to find as the tan coloured ones seem to be flavour of the month

Fitted with extending folding stock, vertical grip and RIS rails

Currently using a Aimpoint red dot but may change it to an Eotech 551

This may get used at some point on Sunday if get bored with my pimped G&P Cracker M4

G&P Cracker

The ASCU is now fitted together with a JBU high torque motor that I installed earlier

The result is a really fast firing single shot mode that always completes a full cycle without jamming. It will fire as quick as you can pull the trigger

Switching to auto enables a consistent three round burst just by tapping the trigger or full auto by holding it in

It has totally transformed the gun and will now out perform more expensive ones both in range and usability

ASCU

Received my Airsoft Smart Control Unit today for my M4

It consists of a micro switch trigger and a MOSFET that adds active braking and a super fast trigger with a three round burst option. It will also make sure that the motor completes a full cycle eliminating the semi shot lock up that happens quite a lot

It will make my rifle feel more like the very expensive Systema PTW.

Should be fitted tonight and hopefully working for next Sunday

Early Night

Posted: January 24, 2012 in Uncategorized

In bed by 11 that makes a change! Think I am still recovering from the weekend. Got a busy rest of week coming up and Sopley on Sunday

Have to start charging batteries tomorrow then looking forward to a mag up session on Saturday night

Shops

Posted: January 24, 2012 in Uncategorized

Tonight’s task was to obtain a few obscure items after work. To think that not many years ago it was virtually impossible to buy anything after hours unless it was from a petrol station, off license or a corner newsagent

Well it all went very well and I managed to buy exactly what I wanted. I could have shopped online making a decision based on a 100mm high two dimensional image then securely paid at the checkout sending my encrypted ones and zeros to complete the sale

But to actually pick up the goods, examine them and make a choice in the flesh is so much more rewarding

Frustration

This particular level on Angry Birds has had me shouting at my phone. It looks simple but I keep ending up with one little pig to get

I endeavour to get past it before the night is over!
