Could we start a HPA section? I mean, we have one for the Sun Project series, but it seems more and more people are switching to HPA and this would be a good section to talk about rigs, guns etc. Now that the Polarstars are out, more and more DMR's are being made from them (I have one.) and I think it'd be good for us to have a section like this.

Just a suggestion,
Hoggie

I would have to agree. It is become a very popular switch and people should learn to do it the right way and safely.
Nice idea!

There is really only one or two rifles that people are using the HPA on, and to be honest the set ups are all the same. As the rigs are not rifles specific, you would get one post in the sub forum, and that would really be about it.

I can see someone writing up a good review, or borrowing one from another site, and make it a sticky in the TANAKA or the SUN PROJECTS sub forum.

But I honestly can't see a need for an entire sub forum for just the HPA rigs.

I think air rig discussion is somewhat larger than you make it to be. Discussions of what regulators are used in what order are of particular interest to me.

I agree with Woogie, all need to be said once!
One good review and what else to say...

Well, what about people wanting how to tap mags, what regulators and hoses and everything to use. How to properly seal HPA threads, FCU stuff for Polarstar, all that kind of stuff.

 

[wack2011a]

Agreed it would be useful section for veteran and noobie HPA users alike.

After some good guides what else is there?
Anyway this is my opinion I've ordered the Polarstar Fusion engine and i have 4 classics and still don't think it's need it

I understand where you come from Wolf, and honestly, i'd come to you for my HPA issues, but, a sub section maybe would help too. Because surely, anyone can come up with a question.
I'll let the mods take a glance at this and see what they say.

Maybe it could be for HPA powered rifles, in general. I mean, that could include classics, the P* engine, not to mention the review on the air rig parts and pieces, if that is wanted.

I tried this but it didn't get stickied. I am tired of trying to explain it to noobs though. Yes, we were all noobs once but outside of watching youtube videos on "how to drill & tap" whoever is just going to have to wing it just like everyone else. The concept is straight forward drill, tap, and screw in the fitting. Air rigs were also covered by my post and it included McmasterCarr product numbers for fittings, regulators and hose and multiple setups for specific applications and price ranges.

I could see a reason to have a External Air section though. Its an obvious upgrade for all gas replicas and that includes Pistols, BASR, DMRs, Rifles, SAWs and Sub-guns. Not to mention the influence of KUBA T1K and P* will have on the AEG market. This section would not always be about sniping obviously. But, it would be a nice way to organize all the conversion threads on these forums. This could help new people more than anything else.

Changing the search to allow words three characters long would help too. Right now you can't search for HPA, AIR RIG, CO2 and external air only brings up two recent post in some kids thread that do not offer any info on the topic.

Here is the post, I need to clean it up a tad. It might have been a drunk post. http://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/phpBB/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=1791 If a admin/mod wants to hack my posts into one post or whatever, feel free. I don't care, just trying to help out if I can.

Ok, how about one sticky thread with links to useful information and threads?
