Cool! Now I have a use for those .12g BBs sitting in my basement! :)

I regularly load the first dozen or two (depending on low cap or mid cap) with red 0.12g BBs to act as indicators for low ammo. See red, hear the change in sound, reload. Prevents dry firing on an empty mag.

I've heard that you do that one before. For my gun, the sound of it dry firing is very distinct, so I only fire 1-3 dry cycles. I don't think it really hurts it too much.

All guns sound distinct when dry firing (sound difference between regular BBs and 0.12g BBs is a bit sharper pitch with the .12g), but for guns with a V2 mechbox, dry firing can kill it, and even a couple cycles each mag add up to a dozen or more cycles per game day, add on dry firing to set the piston forward at the end of the day, to test firing if any work has been done in the mechbox......... all adds up.

Besides, it looks a lot cooler to do a tactical reload than to run out of ammo to the point of being empty. Best thing? I've actually gotten some 0.12g kills this way. How many guys have called hit when you've dry fired at them? ;) Lol

Yeah rushing some poor bastard because you know hes dry firing on a mag and catching them in mid reload will make them shit themselves and the look on their faces is totally priceless...

Well, I'm sure Classic Army would surrender to a gun dry firing, simply because the noise is travelling at the speed of sound and is over the field fps limit.

On my gun when its 'dry' it stops shooting :p

The barrel in my GBB is 110mm and its dead accurate :p
Maybe you need a tightbore/hopup rubber upgrade?

Stop wanking your PTW, wanker.

He needs to learn how to shoot properly first. ;)

about the same thing. but I only load 5 .12 clear green BBs... (They are ugly, better send them in the washer, 200-300 in a cloth bag to remove the mold lines a bit...

They somehow shine really bright green when indoors, and outdoors it's not that bad...

Almost only on semi... so 5 is plenty enought...

i would assume stalker puts around a dozen or so .12g in rather than 5 because he is shooting in full auto mode with a high ROF.

That is definately an interesting find stalker. I have the exact same problem on my CAm24 and have had it since day one. Ill have to adjust it all and let you know how it works out.

Actually it reduces the number of rounds in my mags. Brings my 90rd midcaps down to Armalite low cap levels. Helps me carry a bunch of mags and still stay within the 300rd limit some fields have. Also, I can reload my mags mid day and not have to keep topping up the indicator BBs.

One thing to keep in mind, any gun with a Guarder clear hop up rubber can't be checked for leaks with a flashlight............. for obvious reasons. Lol
