  • Airsoft gun mis-feeding when there's pressure behind the BBs. What could be causing this?

    My JG Ak74 just got a few upgrade parts, including a new air nozzle which is .9mm shorter than the stock one, so I have been having many problems getting it to compress correctly. I shaved off .3mm of the tappet plate to allow the air nozzle to go forward slightly more, bettering the compression and hopefully solving my problem, but now the problem is that the gun will only drop BBs out of the barrel or lob them a few feet when a wound high-capacity mag or mid-capacity mag is inside, but if I turn the gun upside down and have either a barely wound high-capacity mag or manually feed BBs into the hop up chamber so they just fall gently into place, the gun shoots fine.

    What would be causing the mis-feeds only when BBs are being forced into the hop up chamber? It isn't double shooting, just jamming up or letting BBs fall out the barrel.

    I have already taken the gearbox apart 12+ times in the past 48 hours to troubleshoot, so ANY information to save me from more of that would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can this setup for an SDTV to work with the Xbox One?

    My idea is since I have an SDTV with no HDMI compatibility, I know that the Xbox One will not work for me... BUT I think I have an idea for how I could convert the HDMI to my AV tv.

    The goal:

    To convert an HDMI output to an AV RCA tv.

    The idea:

    1. Connect the HDMI out cable from the Xbox One to the HDMI input on the HDMI-to-AV converter.

    2. Connect an AV-to-AV cable into the output on the converter.

    3. Plug the RCA male (yellow white red) side into the three AV ports on my tv.

    The question:

    Will this work?

    HDMI output on Xbox One

    HDMI to tv (but instead of the tv it will connect to the AV converter)

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/99588645@N02/11002539...

    HDMI goes here: AV converter

    And this RCA AV cable goes from the converter into the tv

  • Advanced Airsoft problem?

    On my dads MP5, theres a sh*tstorm happening in the gearbox, semi-auto is full auto, occasionally turning into safety, pulling the trigger does nothing, maybe one shot before nothing as if the fuse is broken, and when it used to shoot, it would shoot a few shots, then dry fire, then would push out a few bbs about 10 feet, then repeat. I assume there is something wrong in the selector switch (on the gearbox) and the connections related to it. 10 points to anyone that helps.

  • My eyes are extremely puffed after flu?

    I had a 103 fever a few days ago, and I have gradually gotten better, now I feel completely better (minus my neck being out of place), but my eyes are swollen beyond recognition, like seriously I look Asian (not intending to offend Asians out there). The flu I had was abnormal, for it may have been caused by a head infection I got and some heat exhaustion(sp). But the swelling is all in my eyes, and around the face, it causes occasional headaches and is worse when i put my head down. I have been taking benadryl(sp) for my sleep, and some tylenol(sp), but from today on Im not going to take any medicine. What could this swelling be from? Is it just a lingering effect from the past flu? Thanks for reading

  • My neck is really out of place, methods for fixing?

    So I tweaked my neck during long time activity, and what I think is the C7 is wayy to the side (tilted at some times, and to the left when my necks bent, and sometimes to the right). And this morning I woke up and now I cant turn my head more than 40 degrees to the left, right, or down. Can anybody give me a solution to how my friend could try and pull everything together? Thanks.

    Also if it helps, it's the biggest vertebra that's out of orientation, and the one below it hurts when i push on it.

  • My fathers airsoft gun is always firing full auto?

    Kay, so me, my dad, and a few friends were finishing up an airsoft war. Near the end my dad's gun starts firing full auto, even when the trigger ISN'T being pulled. It won't fire on safety, but on semi and auto it will always be firing constantly until you put it into safety or unplug the battery. Can anybody tell me what is causing this? I have dissassembled it, and took apart the selector switch and put it together correctly, but when I had the gun together is still did it. So its not the selector switch. Im dissassembling the gearbox in 13 hours from now, so any answer before then would greatly help. (but dont let that stop you, answer whenever, i just need some info.

    Thanks!

  • Can somebody give me the logical explanation for why there is a limit to how fast you can go?

    Why there is a limit to how fast something can travel through space (speed of light). Because wouldn't light travel much faster if there were no limit? If you don't get my question, then say so and I'll add details.

  • Ideas on how we can drastically improve space crafts, and what alien crafts might be like?

    I've put together quite a few things, goal in perspective was to find out what type of crafts aliens have used to reach Earth, and to match up characteristics from legitimate sources and videos. What I resulted in was a bit more than I expected. Look over this and tell me what you think (Anybody who thinks we are the only life in the universe, don't bother answering).

    You have a craft, inside is whatever you may want, and at the center of balance is a spheric shield of electromagnetic fields, holding dense amount of negative matter.

    -reasons for this? Negative matter has negative inertia, and if you have 99% of the crafts mass equalled with negative matter, then you are left with a counter balance of a total inertia of only 1% of the initial mass.

    This will allow the craft to act like it only weighs 20 pounds or so, therefore allowing you to blast away from earth at phenomenal speeds, given the low inertia. You have the negative matter held away from the positive matter because they will react if they touch, and electromagnetic fields can touch both and not react.

    Propulsion is a form of silent, plasmic jets. They put off no sounds, and are very precise to give pinpoint motions, they can be aimed at different angles too.

    The craft is SURROUNDED by a layer of metamaterials, which if you don't know, refract light around them, resulting in INVISIBILITY OF THE CRAFT. For cameras to see out of the craft , they have lenses that act as one way glasses that can see through the material.

    What does this seem like to any of you master philosophers out there? Any new ideas are appreciated!

  • If you were to negate 99% of a space crafts inertia, is it true is wouldn't be able to crafty any passengers?

    Say you had a space craft, and you negated 99% of its inertia, would it still be able to travel carrying passengers, given it has almost no inertia?

  • Help with my previous astral projection attempt?

    I went to bed and meditated for around 10 minutes, then layed down flat on my back and thought about something I did during the day, I focused on it as well as I could, and at this point I am completely relaxed. And after about 8 minutes I thought I got to the vibration stage, but it wasn't like what I heard, instead of feeling vibrations, or a tingly feeling, I felt the same type of feeling you get when your overwhelmed with nervousness. That's what I physically felt, and I think it was the vibration stage (was it?). Then I imagined that I was pulling myself up a rope (this is a common method), but I couldn't concentrate very well, but I still did it. After about 4 minutes of no success, I unconsciously fell asleep.

    1. Was that the vibration stage I felt?

    2. Should I have concentrated harder?

    3. Should I have preformed this at a different time, than my bedtime?

    4. And should I have focused more on the "rope pulling"?

    P.S.: I have unintentionally astral projected and traveled before.

    Any answers are appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

  • Umm... Extremely wierd things are happening, help?

    It's on my iPod touch... I am a skilled hacker so I usualy could figure this out, but this is really buggin me: sometimes when I wake up and go on my iPod, there are apps on my home screen that I haven't downloaded, or even looked at. Today there was a new app, and it baffles me because nobody had access to my iPod for the past 48 hours, and I used it before that and the app wasn't there. I thought that they could be putting it on my iPod without my permission, but they need my apple password. So wouldn't that make it illegal?

    Please help with this.
