AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
rikkter understands, thanx man. BTW falconguy, yea, for a blowback my cousins gun is up with the greats (of blowbacks) IMO... It shoots better than my mag, is about as quiet or quieter, shoots wicked hard turned all the way up (vel. adjuster) and there is virtually **no** kick at all, i dont really think it kicks whatsoever. I had a silver bullet for a month and it kicked so hard that it would pull the trigger for u in semi if u held it lightly.
Of course its going to shoot harder when you turn the velocity up... thats the same with ANY gun. You are making the ball go faster.
As for accuracy, its all in the paint to barrel match. Nothing with the type of gun. Paint and barrel match, and velocity, is all there is to accuracy. Its even argued that the blowback is violent enough to nudge the barrel around, giving it an inaccurate feel.
so you are saying that a samurai would shoot as accurate as an evil omen if u could put a good barrel on it? also, i KNOW that any gun with a vel. adjuster will shoot harder the farther its cranked up, thats the whole point of the vel. adjuster in the first place, what i mean is
his gun (fully cranked up) shoots harder than any other blowback (fully cranked up) that i have ever shot, and harder than my mag too.
Shoots harder- And that's supposed to be a positive example of the marker's ability? Lol, more like an accident waiting to happen. Just because you can adjust the marker to high velocities does not mean you should, and it's all dependent on how fresh the spring in your marker is. New spring = more force against striker = higher velocities.
Using your samurai question, if you put a good spring in a samurai it would shoot super "hard" (high velocity as well).
Which is dangerous and worthless anyways. That's why your Mag wont shoot as "hard" they built in a safety device that restricts you from turning it up that high. Pretty nifty huh?
As for accuracy - It's not just barrels that effect accuracy, consistency is important to. Not to mention recoil.
Good barrel + good paint shot out of a consistent marker (with low recoil) = accuracy.
Ignorance is strong in this one

*Edited* Because I can't keep the BE line of markers straight lol

lol, well if u ave a real week blowback, then paint dont break, then yur pissin in the wind and waitin to get shot. and if u put to hard of a spring on a samurai ud be wastin yur time, 1st of all it may not recock itself and then it'd be crap, 2nd of all it would just PUREE paint, and 3rd, well, its BE...
Oh wait Samurai = the Semi plastic marker. Lol, oops it's hard to keep those things straight sometimes. I'll fix that so that I keep the main idea of the post...
Other than that I'm having a lot of trouble following that post, err I get the joke about BE though!

Heya Treefarm, you going to the Miliken game on Saturday? I will be there, most likely, and can take the pictures to show what a REAL blowback looks like...
Hey Zero, how much did that Chipley cost ya?
