I've said it before, and I'll say it again: For a hobby that relies on honesty and sportsmanship to work, Airsoft attracts a huge number of nasty pieces of shit.
Had a guy change ammo types at my field from .4s to a really heavy ceramic bb or something. He eventually got spot crooned and banned permanently from the field. The guy completely shattered a holo sight i had from about 60 yards away. The length people go through to be a prick is ridiculous.
24:52 It's Luke from the top rope with the steel chair "Told you I could knock him out" Your final point can really be summed up by that old saying "the worst thing about airsoft is airsofters" My worry with people abusing HPA is what happens when the worst happens and someone is seriously injured to the point where the police are involved. If they take a HPA gun to test to see how much damage it could do will they test it as is or crank the regulator up to see what it's highest potential is. All it would take is one politician wanting to score points with the press/public to say something like "these realistic guns can fire so powerfully that they can cause serious harm and we should ban them" and then airsoft is gone with no coming back.
It’s what I’ve thought of for a long time. One incident - just one - and the hobby is gone. We nearly lost it once before, but both parties (the government and airsofters) managed a compromise with the VCRA.
If about 1 in 50 airsofters - regardless of gun - were invited to go home and not come back again, the experience for the other 49 would be so much better. But so many site-runners and marshals collectively punish with prohibitions, pointless lectures, or generalised yelling in game, rather than identifying, confronting and dealing with the very few unfixable problem players. Professional door staff make the best marshals, burn my patch IRL over it.
Same for so many hobby things I see this in America with motorsports a track will not ban the guy causing all the issues and wonder why car count goes down
I do think you are right that it’s not the system but the play style. The day after watching this I went to my regular site where use of HPA has been steadily growing. No one was grossly overpowered, no one had grossly inflated ROF and everyone played respectfully. Didn’t notice the issue. Contrast previous weeks with the part time marshal no less standing in full view at the back of the field out of range of everyone else spamming all the rental players with his HPA’d LMG laughing his head off and boasting of how many he’d got.
What’s also very amusing, and I kid you not, is that the next video below in my feed (not a subscribed channel) had the title: “Best rifle EVER: Polarstar F2x Maxx Pro Hop, VFC Avalon”

I run hpa now but, but I set my fcu to 5 round burst and 25 rps. I want my opponents to be able to compete at a level that will allow them make me try to be better.

Mmmm cerekote sr15… just need to wait for a tm mws ks1 kit to come out 🥴 😵💫. Quick one when you do play games what’s your typical loadout? I’m guessing you’re a webbing old school kind of guy?
As a user of GBB and HPA. Banning HPA solves nothing. There is a lot of problems in Airsoft at the moment. The problem is a HPA build is far easy than a DSG build. I've seen plenty of "wanker builds" that don't have a hose. It's a player issues and they should be dealt with accordingly. Individual being a dickhead = banned for being a dickhead Not happens to run a system the site has a biased towards = not welcome As a lot of sites are going this way and it's making them unapproachable.
FInally sites realised that players who use HPA tend to break rules, I'm not saying its majority of them but there is always bad apples in a bunch who think they will get away with it by increasing their hpa power and dont care if they injure someone.
i use hpa sometimes , would be fine with a crono before game and after , they could write down the fps and see if its the same through the day if there is a change through the day then questions should be asked
Sitting here, listening to this, while drinking some sort of Honey & Elderflower wheat beer.... .... a somewhat pretentious alcoholic beverage I admit but a satisfying accompaniment to a satisfying video. --- I like what you said about the people breaking the rules and shit --- playing a game is a two way contract where you agree to certain limitations to make things allegedly 'fun' and being 'fun' means accepting the reality that loosing is almost certain. Truth be told, I've watched enough airsoft videos on youtube that it doesn't exactly look like fun . I'm also too damned tall, fat and waddly to play on a field so we just plink with overshiny baubles in the garden. They would probably break if we tried to field them. Or make us look like idiots for spending *that much* on a replica and not even getting a single hit on target. The replicas are amusing to play with.
I wonder if HPA fed GBBs with AEG mags are still allowed since they are as unreliable and janky as regular GBBs with minor advantages of no freezing and normal mag sizes
@@rebelwithoutaclue4440 causes more harm than good. Imagine telling people to get a gastric band rather than just telling them to improve their diet & intake
They are good for semi and the one I built for my brother I found out that they don’t like to be a hair trigger. He is the opposite hPa user to what luck is talking about we will play a 40 min game with 30-40 player and he might go through 200-300 BBs and there me laying down covering fire all the time at nothing with my aeg going through 1000+ BBs in the same game 😂
im not "NAT" but i have both a vfc and some game after the gear chip it self and i just hpa it sooo... if you wanna waist money yes but rather get other brand he have a video on diffrent brand... i have small regret
That whole HPA argument got me thinking something. If the problem with HPA users is that they spam the trigger, wouldnt that still be applicable to anyone with a well-tuned SSG/DSG AEG gun? It just sounds like assholes will always find a way to be assholes regardless of platforms If you did talk about that in the video already, please dont bully me cause I have 4 subway surfers on-screen as we speak
Yes, it's 100% applicable. But now DSG users are less thsn 1% of the average player base & HPA eclipses that... The HPA attitude & gameplay makes the old-school dsg users look like saints.. Ooooo..... that's a bad taste in my mouth.
@@NegativeAirsoftTech and you are right, it is 100% way better for someone to be a dick with HPA than DSG since HPA is inherently more reliable than AEGs and GBBRs, but keep in mind a potential issue that arise if HPA were to be banned completely. Airsoft is evolving and field sites dont play catch up unless problems arise. We now have mosfets and gadgetry that are all completely controlled by bluetooth/phone apps that cannot be dealt with, and then there are GBBR users that can either carry two separate bolts to dodge the chrono or just adjust their nozzles if they installed an adjustable nozzle and there's no way of locking that out. Yes despite the attempts of locking HPA stuff and they still try to access their nobs and turns the cunt power to 11, there is at least a barrier in a sense. With AEGs its getting harder and with GBBRs its impossible. I had one incident down in my local outdoor field where someone was somehow sniping people at an insane rate and we all thought he was great. Then some arguments happened between the sniper and some other kid and the ref caught them by surprise and chrono'd the sniper and it turned out his GBBR was doing 2.3J in a 1.5J field limit. This is impossible to detect on-site unless they were caught. If you're gonna ban guns, expect more stabbing because that's where these pricks will move to. Same thing with airsoft, if you ban HPA, guess where those pricks are gonna move to? the containment has been broken and now you got an even bigger issue at hand. Edit note cuz I forgot something: The most popular of these "AIRSOFT CHEATER EXPOSED" and these kinds of wanky videos are all DSG users. 99% of them. Barely any of them have the youtuber use HPA. Just something of note
@@mustafariyad4875you can beat the gbbr cheating by swapping a bolt really trivially Zip tie that prevents opening the gun. There's ways to deal with that sort of thing and it's the same technique as QCS aegs. That and bans on taking tools into the field. The problem with HPA is that it's so much easier to get a gun with ridiculous/abusive performance. It's so much easier to set the gun up to take the piss. App controlled aegs you can't change the power, you can't push it beyond the limits by changing settings in the app. That's not in any way comparable Gas guns are always going to be an issue because of temperature changes during the day but you need to enforce a culture of rechronoing it at lunch.
@@jediknight1294 I mean maybe ziptie certain M4 GBBRs, but keep in mind almost every GBBR are built differently and all you need is an allen key to adjust nozzle power. You dont "need" tools, its all stuff you can keep in your pistol grip.
@@mustafariyad4875 I mean you do need tools just it's tools that are inside the pistol grip. When I Marshaled I did check people for that shit. Same way I checked the systema crowd for spare cylinder setups. As for the NPAS adjustment thing, you know you've been able to do that with an AEG since about 2006 right? Power adjustment by adjusting a screw in the piston. They were a huge thing for a while. One big problem with the fast change power stuff is it's always been an arms race. You look at how they cheat and write a rule to try and catch it, tool bans, the way we ziptie guns, tournament locks, Chronoing on the weight you're using. Whatever cheating technique people use we end up having to write reactive rules to counteract. NPAS for gbb is always going to be needed because of temperature changes, that's just a safety requirement. Though you don't tend to see massive fluctuation. Between a fully open and a fully closed NPAS. Everything iv ever had has been around a 40 to 60fps variance. To do real power changes you need to swap gas. (which IS something a lot of players are shit at considering needing to rechrono.). One of the major problems with HPA is it took years to get people to grasp that there was an issue with Joule Creep. When the p* first dropped the guidance was 'whack the dwell time to max, tune the pressure to do bang on the limit on 0.2s and then stick 0.4 in and you'll out range everyone.' it took YEARS to get people to grasp that they were shooting well over site limits doing that. That attitude really didn't endear the HPA system to people. Outright denial that physics works the way it does. So for a long time (until it was proved to reddit satisfaction.) a good 80% of HPA users were shooting over the limit and squeeing about how awesome hpa was/is and how AEG/gbb is shit. That caused a lot of bad blood, then we got binary and the 50 and 60rps setups. Which made things even worse. One huge issue is that like the systema crowd, a highly visible group have done very visually obvious cheating. Think of your local site, you can name names and predict who on site is going to gravitate to the latest cheating kit. Hpa just made it very easy to do and it has been very accessible. In a way that the systema weren't (and things like the ctw and the katana weren't reliable enough to be an easy I win button in the same way a DSG just isn't reliable enough to be tarquin's cheating machine because they eat the gears constantly.). Hpa is just turn key and is by the nature of the system something you can give to pretty much anyone and it will be something they can cheat and the industry is already creating means of bypassing the restrictions we write.
Maybe sites and Marshall’s should be better at applying the rules and monitoring and dealing with problem players. Just because it can be abused doesn’t mean it is being abused.
@@johnsmith42 level2 in Manchester for one. Two shots then a two second pause then max two shots again (repeat over and over). It works well and keeps Hpa wankers, speedy boys and AEG cnuts in line. You don’t stick to the rules and you are gone. They also run Hpa setups 30 FPS lower than AEG equivalent to try to avoid any creep on the first shot of a Hpa caused by the Rev.
that site banning HPA is extreme, like people who own HPA are the "wealthy customer" type, and you want them as a field. I can imagine they must have caused immense amount of trouble, for this to happen. I dont like HPA, beacuse when i see a hi capa with a hose and a 5.56 AR mag i just have to puke, and spamming makes games unfun, BUT i fully believe, that its a player issue not a platform issue because ive seen just as many AEG users walk like the fuckin terminator, unphased by 5 people raining bullets on them. You should be innocent untill proven guilty, implement a firm 3 strikes policy, if you have to pull out a player the 4th time to tell him to play responsibly, they go on a blacklist and thats it, they go home. But banning HPA as a system will not fix the issue because then the people who use it will never have the opportunity to become "good players", they will alienate further and make this divide worse.
Im not a cunt with hpa. In fact i typically hpa guns that are a horrible design like the svd. I just run my aks74u (which i only hpa'd always has problems and i just got tired of it) at 1.15j on whatever i can hop outdoors and 1 j in cqb because thats the restiction i have on .25's. the svd as an aeg is slow as shit. You cant get good trigger response. Yes you cam put a perun ab++ in and use precocking but its still going to be slower than a regular ass aeg and no you cant use a warhead. you know you can polish a turd but its still a turd. If i want to throw realy heavy ammo out of a sr25 ill just figure something out and leave it as a aeg. Theres a couple ways to make it work without getting the vaccum effect. The only other argument for hpa is its cold and that the lazy way of making it work 100% if you set up your gun in a certain way you can ise a gbbr in the winter and youvalsobwant heavy ammo so you can joule creep it. For sude arms injust use anyting can reliably run co2.
this is a serious question if you have a minute to get I appreciate plus my goddamn flakes. have you seen any of the eng de noveskes that were truly outstanding with its fit and finish and feel. mine is the evike one which I preferred because no stupid 300 blkout shit and I only like candy tube g&g stocks converted to no stupid tube. I don't know if I got lucky or what. my shitty krytacs shoot like dogshit but feel quality and are similar to the real steel I've used. it was fucking stunned at how out standing my n4 came. my bro collected a bunch of American pre '86 autos which I've been blessed to try a few with him plus some real military mp5's. I let them see it and they were unable to believe I paid $330. have you handled any that were way nicer and solid than you expected. no earth fucker has handled more airsoft toys than you have plus your collection so I figured nobody else could give me a more honest opinion than you mate. if you get a chance I'd love to know. sorry I'm a fucking pain in the bullocks, but I'm almost 3 quarter Brit if means fuck all or if it makes you answer my question b4 some other counts, thank you for real cheers
My entire RIF collection is now HPA bar one springer bolt action rifle but I can't disagree with anything you say about HPA wankers. Personally I love the consistency, convenience and simplicity of HPA rifs but the other side of that coin is the ease for wankers to take the piss and turn up the regulator or spam the trigger. Maybe I'm a HPA wanker too but I'd like to think I'm one of the good ones 😂
13:35 best out of the box could mean literaly that does not say annything quantetative about the performance of the thing i am holding. could be shit out of the box and others in the experience are nearly unplayebel..
What was the reason airsoft guns were made? For realism I thought, hpa is not realistic. The hose looks stupid as shit and speedsofteers make there guns look like shit. They look like paintball guns which is the opposite of airsoft guns.
@CallsignHicks just cause something has a motor in it doesn't make it a glorified rc car and every speedsoft gun looks like a paintball gun. The point is that it's a realistic as possible the way they look is 💯 fo sho if they shot bullets than it wouldn't be realistic would it? It would be a real gun

One thing I have done (more then ones with my gun) when playing cqb or within about 10m from enemy is turn hole gun upside down. Was pushing a flank laying down some BBs and heard the high cap spring unwind (out of BBs) flipped that bad boy over and got 3 or so of them out.
46:46 damn. I’ve never related to what a gun is saying as much in my life…
Mmmm cerekote sr15… just need to wait for a tm mws ks1 kit to come out 🥴 😵💫. Quick one when you do play games what’s your typical loadout? I’m guessing you’re a webbing old school kind of guy?
As a user of GBB and HPA.
Banning HPA solves nothing.
There is a lot of problems in Airsoft at the moment.
The problem is a HPA build is far easy than a DSG build.
I've seen plenty of "wanker builds" that don't have a hose.
It's a player issues and they should be dealt with accordingly.
Individual being a dickhead = banned for being a dickhead
Not happens to run a system the site has a biased towards = not welcome
As a lot of sites are going this way and it's making them unapproachable.
Also to add to this I've never skirted the limit I always aim for under where possible.
I often check what I'm running at throughout the day as well.
FInally sites realised that players who use HPA tend to break rules, I'm not saying its majority of them but there is always bad apples in a bunch who think they will get away with it by increasing their hpa power and dont care if they injure someone.
i use hpa sometimes , would be fine with a crono before game and after , they could write down the fps and see if its the same through the day if there is a change through the day then questions should be asked

I like what you said about the people breaking the rules and shit --- playing a game is a two way contract where you agree to certain limitations to make things allegedly 'fun' and being 'fun' means accepting the reality that loosing is almost certain.
Truth be told, I've watched enough airsoft videos on youtube that it doesn't exactly look like fun .
I'm also too damned tall, fat and waddly to play on a field so we just plink with overshiny baubles in the garden. They would probably break if we tried to field them. Or make us look like idiots for spending *that much* on a replica and not even getting a single hit on target.
The replicas are amusing to play with.
Hey Luke , off topic, have you used/ worked on gate hop-up units are they any good or same shit as with maxx ty in advance .
I had good results.
Hey ,Did make it sence to replace my VFC Scar H clear plastik Hop up unit with an aftermarket??
I wonder if HPA fed GBBs with AEG mags are still allowed since they are as unreliable and janky as regular GBBs with minor advantages of no freezing and normal mag sizes
Can still turn up reg and shoot hot
it'd be the same as just changing gases@tox1c8
@@nelsonhammond7501 yes but questions maybe asked if there is a can of black gas on the table.
So whats so bad about teflon taping the hopup? Genuinely confused
@@rebelwithoutaclue4440 causes more harm than good.

Could the Kythera engine be the solution to HPA dickbaggery? Semi-only with adjustable trigger pull... 🤔
Cheers from Canada mate
if you screw the screw to far in it shoots fullauto so it could be exploid
@@camiisherechannel5989 I had no idea this was possible, that's unfortunate
They are good for semi and the one I built for my brother I found out that they don’t like to be a hair trigger.
He is the opposite hPa user to what luck is talking about we will play a 40 min game with 30-40 player and he might go through 200-300 BBs and there me laying down covering fire all the time at nothing with my aeg going through 1000+ BBs in the same game 😂
Would you recommend VFC?
I touch myself thinking about 80's action films
im not "NAT" but i have both a vfc and some game after the gear chip it self and i just hpa it sooo... if you wanna waist money yes but rather get other brand he have a video on diffrent brand... i have small regret
I got bitten by a Tiger whilst on holiday in Spain. true story
Outcome unclear, did the tiger died?
Nah, was pretty cool experience though lol
That whole HPA argument got me thinking something. If the problem with HPA users is that they spam the trigger, wouldnt that still be applicable to anyone with a well-tuned SSG/DSG AEG gun? It just sounds like assholes will always find a way to be assholes regardless of platforms
If you did talk about that in the video already, please dont bully me cause I have 4 subway surfers on-screen as we speak
Yes, it's 100% applicable.
But now DSG users are less thsn 1% of the average player base & HPA eclipses that...
The HPA attitude & gameplay makes the old-school dsg users look like saints..
Ooooo..... that's a bad taste in my mouth.
@@NegativeAirsoftTech and you are right, it is 100% way better for someone to be a dick with HPA than DSG since HPA is inherently more reliable than AEGs and GBBRs, but keep in mind a potential issue that arise if HPA were to be banned completely. Airsoft is evolving and field sites dont play catch up unless problems arise. We now have mosfets and gadgetry that are all completely controlled by bluetooth/phone apps that cannot be dealt with, and then there are GBBR users that can either carry two separate bolts to dodge the chrono or just adjust their nozzles if they installed an adjustable nozzle and there's no way of locking that out.
Yes despite the attempts of locking HPA stuff and they still try to access their nobs and turns the cunt power to 11, there is at least a barrier in a sense. With AEGs its getting harder and with GBBRs its impossible. I had one incident down in my local outdoor field where someone was somehow sniping people at an insane rate and we all thought he was great. Then some arguments happened between the sniper and some other kid and the ref caught them by surprise and chrono'd the sniper and it turned out his GBBR was doing 2.3J in a 1.5J field limit. This is impossible to detect on-site unless they were caught. If you're gonna ban guns, expect more stabbing because that's where these pricks will move to. Same thing with airsoft, if you ban HPA, guess where those pricks are gonna move to? the containment has been broken and now you got an even bigger issue at hand.
Edit note cuz I forgot something: The most popular of these "AIRSOFT CHEATER EXPOSED" and these kinds of wanky videos are all DSG users. 99% of them. Barely any of them have the youtuber use HPA. Just something of note
@@mustafariyad4875you can beat the gbbr cheating by swapping a bolt really trivially Zip tie that prevents opening the gun. There's ways to deal with that sort of thing and it's the same technique as QCS aegs.
That and bans on taking tools into the field.
The problem with HPA is that it's so much easier to get a gun with ridiculous/abusive performance. It's so much easier to set the gun up to take the piss.
App controlled aegs you can't change the power, you can't push it beyond the limits by changing settings in the app. That's not in any way comparable
Gas guns are always going to be an issue because of temperature changes during the day but you need to enforce a culture of rechronoing it at lunch.
@@jediknight1294 I mean maybe ziptie certain M4 GBBRs, but keep in mind almost every GBBR are built differently and all you need is an allen key to adjust nozzle power. You dont "need" tools, its all stuff you can keep in your pistol grip.
@@mustafariyad4875 I mean you do need tools just it's tools that are inside the pistol grip. When I Marshaled I did check people for that shit. Same way I checked the systema crowd for spare cylinder setups.
As for the NPAS adjustment thing, you know you've been able to do that with an AEG since about 2006 right? Power adjustment by adjusting a screw in the piston. They were a huge thing for a while.
One big problem with the fast change power stuff is it's always been an arms race. You look at how they cheat and write a rule to try and catch it, tool bans, the way we ziptie guns, tournament locks, Chronoing on the weight you're using. Whatever cheating technique people use we end up having to write reactive rules to counteract.
NPAS for gbb is always going to be needed because of temperature changes, that's just a safety requirement. Though you don't tend to see massive fluctuation. Between a fully open and a fully closed NPAS. Everything iv ever had has been around a 40 to 60fps variance. To do real power changes you need to swap gas. (which IS something a lot of players are shit at considering needing to rechrono.).
One of the major problems with HPA is it took years to get people to grasp that there was an issue with Joule Creep. When the p* first dropped the guidance was 'whack the dwell time to max, tune the pressure to do bang on the limit on 0.2s and then stick 0.4 in and you'll out range everyone.' it took YEARS to get people to grasp that they were shooting well over site limits doing that. That attitude really didn't endear the HPA system to people. Outright denial that physics works the way it does. So for a long time (until it was proved to reddit satisfaction.) a good 80% of HPA users were shooting over the limit and squeeing about how awesome hpa was/is and how AEG/gbb is shit.
That caused a lot of bad blood, then we got binary and the 50 and 60rps setups. Which made things even worse.
One huge issue is that like the systema crowd, a highly visible group have done very visually obvious cheating. Think of your local site, you can name names and predict who on site is going to gravitate to the latest cheating kit.
Hpa just made it very easy to do and it has been very accessible. In a way that the systema weren't (and things like the ctw and the katana weren't reliable enough to be an easy I win button in the same way a DSG just isn't reliable enough to be tarquin's cheating machine because they eat the gears constantly.).
Hpa is just turn key and is by the nature of the system something you can give to pretty much anyone and it will be something they can cheat and the industry is already creating means of bypassing the restrictions we write.
Your knife comment has aged well. 😅 Oh thats awful.
Maybe Airsoft should align and say HPA is allowed but only mechanical units 😁
Maybe sites and Marshall’s should be better at applying the rules and monitoring and dealing with problem players. Just because it can be abused doesn’t mean it is being abused.
@@Zermattquattro sure but i dont know any field who has a "anti trigger fucking" policy in place.
@@johnsmith42 level2 in Manchester for one. Two shots then a two second pause then max two shots again (repeat over and over). It works well and keeps Hpa wankers, speedy boys and AEG cnuts in line. You don’t stick to the rules and you are gone. They also run Hpa setups 30 FPS lower than AEG equivalent to try to avoid any creep on the first shot of a Hpa caused by the Rev.
@@Zermattquattro ok that sounds good, here in germany im not knowing any so far
Just AEG it!
that site banning HPA is extreme, like people who own HPA are the "wealthy customer" type, and you want them as a field. I can imagine they must have caused immense amount of trouble, for this to happen. I dont like HPA, beacuse when i see a hi capa with a hose and a 5.56 AR mag i just have to puke, and spamming makes games unfun, BUT i fully believe, that its a player issue not a platform issue because ive seen just as many AEG users walk like the fuckin terminator, unphased by 5 people raining bullets on them. You should be innocent untill proven guilty, implement a firm 3 strikes policy, if you have to pull out a player the 4th time to tell him to play responsibly, they go on a blacklist and thats it, they go home. But banning HPA as a system will not fix the issue because then the people who use it will never have the opportunity to become "good players", they will alienate further and make this divide worse.
Im not a cunt with hpa. In fact i typically hpa guns that are a horrible design like the svd. I just run my aks74u (which i only hpa'd always has problems and i just got tired of it) at 1.15j on whatever i can hop outdoors and 1 j in cqb because thats the restiction i have on .25's. the svd as an aeg is slow as shit. You cant get good trigger response. Yes you cam put a perun ab++ in and use precocking but its still going to be slower than a regular ass aeg and no you cant use a warhead. you know you can polish a turd but its still a turd. If i want to throw realy heavy ammo out of a sr25 ill just figure something out and leave it as a aeg. Theres a couple ways to make it work without getting the vaccum effect. The only other argument for hpa is its cold and that the lazy way of making it work 100% if you set up your gun in a certain way you can ise a gbbr in the winter and youvalsobwant heavy ammo so you can joule creep it. For sude arms injust use anyting can reliably run co2.
this is a serious question if you have a minute to get I appreciate plus my goddamn flakes. have you seen any of the eng de noveskes that were truly outstanding with its fit and finish and feel. mine is the evike one which I preferred because no stupid 300 blkout shit and I only like candy tube g&g stocks converted to no stupid tube. I don't know if I got lucky or what. my shitty krytacs shoot like dogshit but feel quality and are similar to the real steel I've used. it was fucking stunned at how out standing my n4 came. my bro collected a bunch of American pre '86 autos which I've been blessed to try a few with him plus some real military mp5's. I let them see it and they were unable to believe I paid $330. have you handled any that were way nicer and solid than you expected. no earth fucker has handled more airsoft toys than you have plus your collection so I figured nobody else could give me a more honest opinion than you mate. if you get a chance I'd love to know. sorry I'm a fucking pain in the bullocks, but I'm almost 3 quarter Brit if means fuck all or if it makes you answer my question b4 some other counts, thank you for real cheers
22:05 for all the people who want to know why he hates hpa.
My entire RIF collection is now HPA bar one springer bolt action rifle but I can't disagree with anything you say about HPA wankers. Personally I love the consistency, convenience and simplicity of HPA rifs but the other side of that coin is the ease for wankers to take the piss and turn up the regulator or spam the trigger. Maybe I'm a HPA wanker too but I'd like to think I'm one of the good ones 😂

@crewgadjy oh yeah, that kid, best speedysoft boy ever 😂
bro why so negative? 😆
What was the reason airsoft guns were made? For realism I thought, hpa is not realistic. The hose looks stupid as shit and speedsofteers make there guns look like shit. They look like paintball guns which is the opposite of airsoft guns.
To an extent yes, having a glorified RC car whining through the woods is hardly realistic either 😅
Not every build looks like a paintball gun 😢😂
@CallsignHicks just cause something has a motor in it doesn't make it a glorified rc car and every speedsoft gun looks like a paintball gun. The point is that it's a realistic as possible the way they look is 💯 fo sho if they shot bullets than it wouldn't be realistic would it? It would be a real gun
@@missyoujoel3275 then that's nitpicking to serve your point.
An MTW with a hose or even a wraith stock, is "realistic enough".
Mine doesn't and clearly you've never actually looked at a maker to make that comment 🤣
