Hello everyone, before i go sleep or when i have nothing to do i like you watch airsoft tech videos. Upgrading guns and more, the channels i watch mostly are Blind Sniper, Airsoft after hours, i dont really like game play videos. And i always run out of stuff to watch. So here comes the question what airsoft tech youtubers you watch? Airsoft is the stuff that interests me and i can learn some useful stuff as well. I dont like channels that spend huge money, to buy parts and just put them in i enjoy more of DYI kind videos

These playlists are full of top tier stuff, and be sure to check out the channel who posted the stuff as there's also good things I haven't added.
Ur all are crazy, man i wanted to find out what to watch. Now i know wich batteries are good for what

Negative Airsoft is entertaining to be sure, but his tech advice can be extremely silly at times. Some reports suggest its on purpose for the sake of trolling. He does put together working builds, but not always as good as they should be...
TheAirsoftTech is one of the few I've found who's not throwing crazy stuff around. He also doesn't advocate for spending crazy money on things, so that's a big plus--very few YouTube personalities will tell you that for your 60 RPS DSG you should still use your stock gears.
Most YouTube techs aren't all that good. For example, I watched a video from Valiant Airsoft a while back, where he had an LCT steel EBB piston in his 13:1 35K build. Basically, his gun was chewing itself to bloody bits, and the evidence was in the numbers he gave. I asked a few polite questions, and it became clear that he knew nothing about how to properly build his replica.
The video title is something along the lines of "How to build the best airsoft gun ever" or some such thing if you want to try to find it on his channel.

For HPA batteries I'd say Titan is THE thing to get as they're easier to revive than a Lipo if you drain them, and I think are maybe less sensitive with how they're stored with power loss and all that, but other than that I don't think they'd be very good judging by their output power.
AEGs can only suck in so much power, so even if your battery is a 40c and your gun needs 30, you're gonna be totally safe. Running a battery that has 30c with a gun that needs 30c isn't ideal as the gun may peak at 40 sometimes, and running underpowered batteries I think may be bad for them, and your gun is slower than it should be.
For anybody reading this, I'd get RC batteries as that's a hobby that's much more demanding of quality and performance, so nearly any RC battery will be better for your gun than most airsoft batteries, and will likely be cheaper too.

To my knowledge, Li-ions and LiPos are about the same with storage--both will hold charge almost indefinitely--the real difference is in the burst current they can provide. Li-ions are great for flashlights, HPA, and anything that requires low current over long periods of time, as they are also more may efficient than LiPos, but bad for anything that requires bursts of higher current.
I've heard it said by those with more knowledge than I that airsoft is a great place for LiPo manufacturers to dump their factory mistakes that don't meet RC standards, since most of us don't know any better. I tend to agree with that.
For me, I purchase either Kypom, Gens Ace, or RC brands like Tattu and Ovonic, as Kypom and Gens Ace have been proven to be very close to advertised specs, and RC brands allow you to "overshoot" your target. Like Silicone mentions: you can't have too much discharge. Hence why my "baseline" battery is a 5000mah 70-140C.

Ya, but he could have been lying when he said that, and there's actually 3 lies per video... Makes me wonder about his hate of R-hop, Maple Leaf, lapping, stainless barrels, and other stuff that I somewhat like, as that could be a lie, or he's being weird. I guess I'm not exactly hyped by his lack of explanation on things like that, and how he doesn't like "numbers", even though it's not really possible to measure some things otherwise.
His stuff can be useful I imagine, but to a noob or somebody who is somewhat incompetent that's not exactly ideal.
With all that being said, he's doing all that stuff for free and doesn't have to, so he can very well do whatever he wants as he clearly spends lots of time editing his videos. Do wish he'd fix the glare off his mat and quit occasionally uploading in 360p with a large black border though....

I'm probably more familiar with British humour than most Americans (British TV is SO much better than American), but it is easily possible that I'm somehow missing things. That being said, as Silicone mentioned, I am not the injured party; it's way more influential to noobs who might simply wholesale follow his advice, or any other YouTuber for that matter.
Also, though I think he's obviously not a complete shamster, saying "there's at least one lie in my videos" is basically saying "anything that I say that happens to be wrong is actually just one of my lies." Which is worrying to me in general.
Clearly his stuff works, and works okay, but the opinion I hold is that he doesn't really know much of the science behind airsoft. He does what he does and some of it works, but at the end of the day he doesn't know why it works.

In more recent times, I find myself trying to get as much from as little as possible. I can tell you that Negative definitely does unnecessary work, as we all do from time to time, but things like nozzle replacements are almost always simply a waste.
He also purports using a shorter than normal spec nozzle...

As a tech she has always said every build is done so that the customer has the least ways to mess it up using it, most Airsoft players aren't on forums, don't know how the rif works and don't know diddly squat about upgrades. Which is why his style is to build solid, dependable and well performing guns.
Is it the pinnacle of performance no, but has he built the Toyota/Honda (maybe even a Lexus sometimes) of the Airsoft world yes.

One thing I just thought of is that there's people like me and other members in here who spend rather ridiculous amounts of time trying to attain perfection with one gun, while he's trying to do as many as possible.
While his stuff may work, it may not entirely align with "the very absolute most definitely for sure best" some of us are after. We may be his intended audience, or we may not, but he is just some guy on the interwebs after all.
I'll continue to watch his stuff, but very little of it is actually applicable to me seeing as I'm who he discriminates against most, an HPA guy.

I'm not really complaining about him, but people seem to think that he's a Jedi master while his main focus with guns is just to make them shoot well and as long as possible.
I don't think that there's really any high end techs out there though, as most people will probably not want to pay for 10 hours of machining time and assembling with expensive parts, so nobody exists who would do that because of current demand. Definitely the think you do yourself if you want anything like that.

This is why adjustable nozzles seem like such a good idea to me, as I bet that there's serious enough differences from gun to gun from the same company.
A little late to the party but Neg is the only tech I trust my guns to - having experienced some extremely good techs locally (two of which retired) I turned to Luke as he can, and will absolutely make your replica perform the way you want it to, unless it's ridiculous. Yes, he does work down to a budget quite frequently, but has also been given free rein for high-end builds and turned out superlative results......
Luke aims to make parts as widely compatible as possible, and that, of course, means that they won't be perfect in every situation. Internet persona aside, he realises not every player has the budget to allow him to work for 10 hours fine-tuning their AEG to be the ultimate BB lobber, and he also goes out of his way to accommodate lower budgets and individuals who have, through no fault of their own, come into possession of a lemon. He's not perfect, but he IS a bloody good, honest tech and a good guy......and yes, there's always a nugget (even contradictory ones) of untruth to fuck with some of the self-important techs out there.
This amuses me.
His Patreon videos are more informative than those on his YT channel, as you could expect.
Regarding nozzles, they are of excellent quality but I've seen him, even recently, use other nozzles when it was appropriate to the job at hand.......and regarding Warhead motors.......they are superb. I'd push them equally if I had a financial interest in them ^
100% correct.
