Yeh was about to ask the same, did it go underwater and if it did did it still work properly ?

I didn't let the rifle get submerged, I let my pistol get drowned, once I shook out the water it worked out but the hop up was wet so not that effective!

andy_g

Paul found a bb just after leaving the barrel in one of the photos hmmm havent found it yet

Damo 2k9

gbbs and the likes seem fine with water just give a good cleaning after though.

bailor :P

Masada

What was the point of this test? were you trying to find out if they'd fire after being in water?


ps, if thats vietnam look, maannn ive been doing it wrong....

Leftyflip

It was to show that airsoft and water mixed, quite well too.
The Vietnam look is just a pose, even you should know that though, right?

Masada

What do ya mean by "Mix"? How do it mix well? do you mean the guns worked after getting wet?


What do ya mean by even i should know that?

.22 Lover

What's the name of that rifle in the pic?

Have to agree with the lad here, seems to be a bit of "heres me in the water like a real solider" photoshoot.

I presumed it would be some sort of torture test.

thermo

we didnt torture anything we are not vfc, what i did was do things you may do in a normal game, lying down in the stream, wading ect.
the guns did get wet and full of water due to the nature of the stuff i was doing. i found the guns did function, but only ok, silt and debris got into the barrels and made the guns less consistant and the water soaked hop-ups were not great doing only little better than a dry gun wit no hop-up applied.
the guns afterwards required a FULL strip down and clean, dry and oil.

the photos were a bonus and a bit of a laugh.

my verdict,,,,,, if you are in or around water try to avoid letting the guns get wet (which you should be doing anyway).

Thats true enough alright, wasnt havin a go, i was just expecting more detailed technical shots & info if it was about the effects of water on kit.

How wet was the gun, was it fully submerged & for how long, was it let drain fully before firing, was it running water or stagnate, where debris ended up and the effects on accuracy & consistancy, more of a before and after comparrison etc.

Puding

if your going to do it do it with style as they say some more information over on arnies ( and better pictures ) but forums are down, from what i can remember aeg and gbb worked fine but need complete strip down afterwoods to avoid rusting of threads and to stop problems down the line

but this guy is mad for his gear and will not think twice about dropping 1000s of usd on real steel eqipment
