Another thing to think about is that the 6.13 and 6.23 wide bore barrels are more forgiving to bb defects. If you had a 6.00, or 6.01 for that matter, any slight bb defect could fling your shot to who-knows-where because the defect would be touching the sides of the barrel, guaranteed.
Whereas the 6.13 and 6.23 would allow for some room between the defect and the barrel.
Either way, a defect would throw your shot off where it's supposed to land, but in theory the wide bores would be more forgiving to it.

Take me for example… I use a 6.10 and those dang white .43s (higher percentage of defect per 100…) And I still manage to hit 10/10 at 230 feet

Thanks for that testing information!

Its interesting to see how the wider bore did better at longer ranger than the tighter one.

Buy more tubing… You can go to Palmer's and get ¼th macroline or go to McMast-Carr for an array of tubing

Hey 1Tonne,
First off, I was away at my field for the weekend… Camped out, lots of fun picking people off… Sorry to anyone who contacted me between Friday and now…

Anyway, I enjoy using CO2 much more than HPA. This is for several reasons:

1) Lighter Weight
2) Not having to be attached to your gun at all times
3) Easier to wear ghillie, no need to have a tank on your back

The list could go on, but I'm tired…

On a really action packed, 6 hour day, you'll need all of 3 cartridges. It could last you up to 90 shots. Today I used 1 cartridge (12g) and was still able to last all day.

Obviously, CO2 still has its disadvantages. Some things like:
1) It phase changes, from liquid to gas, this could cause issues if something happens…
2) Cool down: unlikely for a sniper, but if you're taking shots in really rapid speed, it may happen.
3) Having to change the CO2. You never know how many shots you have left, but its still fairly easy to change.

Again, list may or may not go on, I'm tired…

As for quietness, Its practically the same. Just depends on what you have on the end of the barrel… Thats right NSA, I never said suppressor or silencer…

As for Chameleon, The barrel has been cut short by about 8 inches. It can use a 455mm inner barrel and fit perfectly from chamber to threaded adapter.

Thanks for readings the guide, and for your service to my country

I'll be happy to help if you need anything!

 

[bobcat]

Thanks! It was fun to write, got my mind thinking….

Its a good thought. The only issue is that time is money in the manufacturing world, sadly enough. It's 100% possible, but if KJW spent that much time working on a single rifle, researching and building, they would dig themselves a nice pit, requiring many sales to break even.
To add to your idea, the older Tanaka long magazines had twin gas chambers, like pictured here:

If some machining master and intellectual genius put his mind to it, he could put a CO2 cartridge in one chamber, connect the two chambers, and put a regulator in the other chamber, and boom. What I had in my stock + tubes etc, this guy now has in his magazine, with perfect aesthetics. Sadly, this man is fictional; however, I am sure that someone could do it.

It's the sad truth:

It'd be cool, and very useful, however it is simply not possible for a manufacturer.
Think of it like this: Heckler and Koch removed their trademark licensing with KWA pistols, but kept them on the lower end companies like the things you see at Sporting goods stores. Why? High end players love trademarks! As for sporting goods, why the hell would a kid care about HK trades on a clear-plastic gun? Truth is, that doesn't get H&K the money they need from the higher end models, therefore they revoked the license.

What does that mean here? If KJW were to do such a thing, the only people who would value such a system would be we higher-end snipers. That kid who doesn't know anything about sniping doesn't value said system, and would opt for the cheaper model. The issue here is that the high end snipers are sadly a rare breed. Us alone would not bring the needed income to KJW.

Sad truth, I know, but thats why there are people in this world like Careful, Dobey, and other machinists and geniuses that know what they are doing, and how to do it. Thats why we have a special word… Custom Or even better, one-of-a-kind

(And with that comes money, which is where I lose experience&#8230

I still think it'd be possible…Have the CO2 in one chamber and the reg in the other, connected by pipe. Sure, it'd be a smaller regulator… But maybe it'd work.
Not to mention that the $100 Tanaka magazines would then go for around $230…

 

[bobcat]

Looks great! What kind of scope is that? It looks nice!
Cheers!

 

[bobcat]

Very nice, I like it!

Silencers - Accessory

practically all of the mock silencers here are good… Get the carbon fiber ones, they are the best

 

[bobcat]

I'd recommend against that… It's like 2 pounds of just metal. I don't know if its a "cream filled banana" either.

 

[bobcat]

According to Amped Airsoft, both regs are internally identical, but with the extra $30, you get a better external finish and look with the Firebase

 

[bobcat]

He said he was going to cut the barrel… meaning that he would have a G spec length M700 -_-
Everything seems fine with that idea, I did it with my M700

Guide mentions so… if you have the Tanaka long magazine, then you can use the linked palmers pursuit shop part.

If not, you can probably find a local machinist to do it, or ask around this forum for people who can do it

 

[bobcat]

How do you know the magazine and part have the same threads… And if they do, you need to find the matching female counterpart.

Also, if you're using a short mag, then it won't work no matter what, since the fill valve is on top

 

[bobcat]

CO2 isn't HPA though, great loophole…

Different mounting locations

Seems as though Palmer's Pursuit Shop turned into CO2reg.com so all of the links don't work… D:

I've gotten a few PMs and texts about it so why not change it?

If they still don't work tomorrow just say something… Not sure how much I like co2reg.com's new anti-link quick view product pages :T

happy holidays people
