Just curiosity from someone who's never messed with grenade launchers in game until recently. Is there a particular nerf football that guys are using? Been sort of digging into this recently and haven't found much consensus.

Forum name of official MiA contact: Not on MIA, well I am but I'm not a "leader", but I can pass on information. As well the facebook site for the group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/165636486823274/

Recruitment: Open player base of local players, IE loose group not a typical airsoft "team"

This isn't a normal submission for the map, but seeing as though the UP has little to no airsoft groups I think it would be a good addition to the map for guys looking for play in this area. I'm a fairly recent addition to the group as a whole but they are a good group of guys and from what I've seen play more than any other group in the area.

Additionally I wouldn't mind having my small group I've been getting going in my area listed as well, even though it's just getting running it would be another airsoft contact for the UP region.

1) 18
2) Outside Channing MI, large private field 300+ acres
3) Open to new members recruiting a small local group of players, also guns available for new players etc.
4) If someone is driving to a game and coming from your area often carpooling can happen
5) I host events, typically smaller games but eventually if the player base expands I'd like to be able to do some more milsim style games.
6) I attended allot of regional events through MIA, with players from the old days of Upairsoft but not recently. Some of our players have gone to larger events more recently though.

Ugly but at least it likely is easy to go back to stock with a normal mag;) At least pending they built it like other ones I've seen.

If you go 1911 I'd look hard at a double stack. While not as good of a feel in the hand as a single stack the extra gas reservoir room is worth it for me. I've generally had fair luck with single stacks over the years but when they start getting worn and gas efficiency starts to go down you don't have nearly the amount of leeway same with lower temps.

Well guys I thought I'd share this, I got a bunch of external parts from a buddy in a box. It had allot of the bits and pieces I needed to actually assemble an entire AR based gun from, and I got to thinking I'd do just that. Well first I was going to build a longer upper receiver for my M4 but after fighting with fitment issues with my CA body, I decided I'd be further ahead just building another gun from the bits.

So I had the stock, fore end, barrel, mock suppressor, and some other small bits. I bought a bag o gearbox from here, and a barrel, and hopup chamber. I had a motor laying around, that honestly is cheap and not much good but it's working for now until I upgrade the spring then I'll need to upgrade that as well.

So I took the fore end, trouble was I didn't have the attachment to the receiver for this fore end. So I took a normal delta ring ground it down to snugly fit, then through allot of fiddling I built out a washer setup that basically rigidly mounted it to the upper. Problem solved;) I setup the outer barrel where the suppressor goes into the fore grip so it gives that integrated suppressor look that I always like. I might change this a little since I'd like a little more overall length out of it, right now the barrel runs really close to flush with the end. I have a slight alignment issue on the end, the suppressor tends to end up slightly low from where it should be, since it's free floating basically, I'll likely build out some sort of support to fit in the end of the fore end to center the outer barrel in the fore end. But for now I'm not too concerned about it.

The gearbox was a bit of a mess;) I had allot of parts, missing a couple small pieces that I had laying around in my parts bags. There was a mosfet installed in the harness but the wiring was also a bit of a mess. So I went through and cleaned everything up, shimmed the box, fixed all the wiring. Had to fix some of the wiring at the mosfet, got all that working so it would turn over a motor. Reassembled everything and put it together. No compression, shooting like 150fps. This box had a sector delay chip, which I've never used before. Back in the day I don't ever recall seeing them available so I've never owned a gun with one, but I figured either I had the wrong nozzle or the sector delay was causing a problem. So I checked the length of the nozzle and it was correct so I removed the sector delay. Back together and I'm shooting a fairly consistent 390fps with .2's. Had to get the motor height and all the other stuff tuned in but now it's pretty close to good on that front.

So I went out to shoot it and fairly consistent I'm getting some dropped shots though and I suspect it's the bucking, also it's shooting to the left. I had dropped in the used bucking that I got along with the hopup and barrel. It was pretty dirty and unknown condition. I just threw it in there for something quick to test, so I suspect something there is wonky yet. I've got plans to rhop this as well so shortly I'll remove the bucking from the list of problems.

Planning on replacing the pins, and all the other little bits and pieces that are still missing cosmetically. Spring upgrade to likely an M130 and eventually removing full auto and possibly upgrading it further into the 480fps range. Currently my plan is something that will shoot 75+ yards but be fairly reliable. So we'll see, but at the point it just needs allot more hopup, and barrel tuning to get that end of the system up to snuff but it's going to have to wait until I have more time;)



Take care!

Not a problem I'm sure as time goes on we're going to find little bits and pieces of things like that to change, or ways to change them if needed. Trials and tribulations of completely changing the forum software after so many years used to the old system;)

Take care!
