4:36 - "Once you play in the rain, you want to completely disassemble your gun." Alright, fellow Scotsman it's raining like it does every game we play... let's just all go home and take up dominoes or something. - SAID NO SCOTTISH AIRSOFTER EVER!
***** Dude chill. He already explained to you.. "By "flash" he probably meant the gas that was expelled from the barrel." A lot of airsofter i know say "flash" instead of saying "you know that gas burst pistols do"
Most definitely ! We did play once under moderate rain and it was a blast. You can't hear anything but the rain. Changes the whole game experience. Also we didn't suffer any damages on the replicas (though I can only advise to use GBBs & shotguns just to make sure nothing goes wrong regarding electrical parts)/
1) See what damage acrylic BBs can do. Example, can they shatter a car's windshield? 2) What is the best way to destroy your GBB mags? 3) Do springs compressed for long periods of time (days) lose tension? Recoil springs, mag springs? If so, how will it affect the function of the gun (especially a GBB)? 4) Can you convert a Thunder B into a Tornado grenade?
It's more like wanting to be versatile. A buddy of mine were in a large field playing Paintball in the woods (I know, paintball's different), we wanted to sneak across the river and steal the flag right out from under them. We managed to do it but for Airsoft games we couldn't even think about it. It's kind of for those guys who want to add a bit of versatility to their strategy in a game. Works too, they'll never see you coming.
Nine times out of ten, an AEG works fine playing in the rain, and the receiver and stock does a fine job of keeping water out of the important electrical areas of the gun. I live in Florida, during the Summer, we play during the rain all of the time. Your biggest problems from playing in the rain are going to come from optics, or lasers/lights on your gun.
Gas Vs. Electric, one major thing to remember is that you will need to refill your magazines every mag or two, and they will not perform in the colder weather. CO2 Vs. Green gas, CO2 generally runs at much much higher fps, and many guns will break under the extra pressure, also need to note that CO2 has no lubricant, where green gas does (easily cured with some silicon oil), and so far as I know of, none use 88 gram cartridges, most use 12g, though some use external sources of compressed air.
Awesome video. seriously! and matts face at 3:46 LOL btw that it is totally dangerous (trying an AEG under water) because if there is an electric shock, everything that is wet and under water, gets the shock and even can cause death. MATT YOU ARE AWESOME MAN! thanks for the video and keep us update with the AEG M4... did it work after all that?
Since you're just starting I suggest an AEG.AEGs are much more easier to maintain,less things to worry about,and there's alot more options you can choose if you're under a certain budget.GBBs are pretty expensive,and since you're starting I don't think you'd want to pay +$300 for the rifle,and possibly $100-$200 more dollars for extra mags.Also you got to know how to properly clean,and lubriacte the gun,or it'll not perform as well as it should be.
this it to show that if in the event an airsoft gun was wet for any reason ie: fell in a puddle, rain got into it, or for any reason did it as drastically as they did (fully submerged) your gun will still be in working condition. Regardless they did offer what to do after an airsoft gun is wet which is to let the internals dry off and be lubed. Even then it is still dangerous for anyone to do something as drastic, and also could mean a broken gun either way. It was an experiment to prove a point
The gas blowbacks performed as I would have expected to be honest. And as for the AEG, surprised it still worked as it did. Although I have used AEG's in the rain (I'm from britain, rain is unavoidable) with no damage to my AEG. Really the biggest danger with this is rust. Even if your gun is plastic/nylon fibre, the screws will rust so drying off is important.
Actually, even if whilst wet the electrics spaz out. They should be fine once everything is thoroughly dried out. Unless it's salt water. You're spot on about the GBB guns though. There is no reason for them not to work perfectly well whilst wet.
yes, it can be done but not at near the level in that movie. That amount of curve for such a short distance is pretty much impossible for any projectile because of the loss of momentum due to physics. (I'm talking about where the curve is over 90 degrees) You can however curve the projectile by a small amount. This is what hop-up does and if done right a curve up can work in the same way as a curve to the right of left. Hope that helps :)
It depends on you're price limits for $250 and under, AEG I would recommend a WE-Tech M4 AEG. $250 and above GBB which would be KWA, G&P or WE. The AEGs are cheaper and they only need Batteries and BBs and mags are like $9 each. GBBRs need gas, which is expensive, and BBs and for some rifles mags are $50-$60. I would get an AEG with a battery, a SMART CHARGER, 4 or 5 mags and 5000-10000 BBs. Evike brand BBs are really good and its like $13 for 5000 which work great in both AEG and GBBR.Have Fun
how about testing to see if there is a type of gas that will damage a GBB airsoft pistol or rifle, OR if you should not operate a GBB above a certain tempreture?
Well for the super hard core airsofter this might actually be good to know... If, for whatever reason, you should have to wade through a swamp or maybe your friend "accidentally" drops you best gun in a frickin lake (yes this has happened to me), at least you can refrain from punching your "friend" in the face until after you've tested the gun. I know gbb's are temperamental, but I still love them. I will be burried with a marushin m1 carbine and an m1911 GBB. :D thanks Evike! always interesting
Green gas is just propane with lubricant so the only difference is that you would have to lubricate your pistol more often when using propane since it doesn't have lubricant mixed in with it already. Assuming you mean equivalent as in more fps with one or the other, I wouldn't know, but from what I've read on forums it seems that propane is higher pressure, possibly because its purely gas as opposed to green gas being a gas with liquid in it.
I have played with my spring rifle in the rain. I don't think it would rust or mess up because it's plastic, and it ain't electric. There's a scene from a movie where Navy SEALs are in a river, and they are walking because it isn't that deep, but they can crouch down concealing themselves and I've always wanted to do that. I don't have a real rifle, but from watching this video, it seems that Gas Blowback airsoft rifles work underwater, or at least when they are wet.
Yes, there was an M-4 gas blowback rifle that supposedly could have the airsoft upper reciever removed and replaced by a real ar-15 upper to make a "Fully Functioning Automatic Weapon", because the internals on the lower reciever were very close to a real weapon's firing mechanism.. While I don't think anybody's ever been foolish enough to try that, they still took the weapon off the market.
Yes. Just rotate your gun 90 degrees to the side and adjust hop-up. you Don't even need to swing your gun while you shot. We tried it with some spring gun.
I think in the rain (light rain) AEGs will work fine. The connectors are usually a sealed system for me and I had no trouble playing with my AEGs in the rain before. Even when snowing, I think its fine.
I played often under the rain with my G36 Jing Gong and I never had troubles, actually I never saw any AEG fail under the rain (Here in Chile we have few places under roof, but we have a lot of places without any structure). Aps, I played from 2009 every saturday of every week
For gas guns in cold weather just use an external gas source with a regulator. That will take away any inconsistencies and it will prevent the cold air from having an effect on the performance of the gun.
ok i got a spring bolt sniper. whenever it rains i have always dried it off. does the spring gun have the same general consept or the AEGs when keeping it dry?
maybe not a mythbusting episode but you guys should do one about hard kick or enhanced recoil upogrades. like do they lower fps or rate of fire, efficency that kinda stuff
I had used 3 years a gbbr in rain, under water etc. And still works like a new. Ofcourse I always had cleaned it from water after playing and lubed it also.... its a full steel (no metal) gbbr so thats good for guns outer parts. Next time try to bust this myth: "shoot/run bb's with (virgin/new) systema ptw, untill it brokes. I say that it will not take so much time ;) Those mosfets/electric system doesn't handle as much as normal aeg. Greetings from Finland !
Yeah they've had them for a little over a year now. But the G&P challenge kit is a little cheaper and slightly better if you are willing to assemble the thing yourself.
Jeez its just an airsoft gun underwater. How can this be dangerous & why do you need trained professionals to watch you shoot an airsoft gun....underwater?! You know what, I'm goin to do it right now. *goes outside to pool w/ gun* *30 seconds later* *explosion & screams of pain*
haha the electric gun shocked him. surprised the water didnt fry the battery and wires. Imagine how much drying you would have to do on those internals
As long as the battery and the wirings are safe, it will be splash-proof (I did not mention waterproof because fully-submerge aeg would have a mess up gearbox).
I live in AZ when it rains it pours hard being a diehard we prepare our guns in the rain we cover fuses and any open parts left on the gun with isulation. becasue we havent been shocked is why we continue even tho matt was shocked... it takes .6amps to kill a man and an average 8.4 voltbatte carries 1200 miliamp hours.12amps it wont kill you but it gonna hurt
well here's my question :Is the grenade able to function again after being used submerged? Because i saw in the video that right after its explosion, the grenade makes bubbles, which means that it gets filled with water.So, is it possible to function again???
Curving a BB, ive seen someone do it on youtube before and it had to with the hop up, but it wouldbe cool to see it done by proffesionals that will consider everything
@Harry Hathaway I haven't heard of an 88 gram CO2 cartridge, sorry. AEGs are usually much more affordable(but can still be expensive) and they use batteries, motors, etc. While GBBs use gas to propel the bbs. GBBs are much higher maintenance and have much less magazine capacity, but they look much more realistic.
As for the test of the AEG under water, you guys were lucky nothing absolutely bad happened. Testing it in a pool is about the most extreme and with all that chlorine it could have easily burned that battery out and possibly explode.
On the Pistol you should have done a Submerged and Above water shooting for control and If you do that make sure variables stay controlled I.e gas fill time, weight/btand of Bb, etc
That video was awesome guys! Alright I might have something for you to test, the durability of a gun with a metal body vs. a gun with a polymer body. Or just different brand guns metal bodies against each other, how impact resistant they are and what it takes to crack them
The results of the aeg ..... shocked me.

Alright, fellow Scotsman it's raining like it does every game we play... let's just all go home and take up dominoes or something. - SAID NO SCOTTISH AIRSOFTER EVER!
thats why u should buy a gbb pistol and a gbbr :v
*nah.. just kidding
Mythbust if a spring aorsoft sniper will work after being under water
@@javonparker8851 Mythbust if a spring airsoft gun will work above water
RIGHT!, Just have your Airsoft be Quality product, then you don't have to be a fair weather Airsofter.
He said,"It shocked me," with the straightest face 😂
+Noodle Airsoft sooo true
+Conor McCombs lol
Noodle Airsoft i almost peed when he said it, his face was literally blank. i wonder what the cameraman's face was like
I wouldn't wanna be the one who has to clean the BBs from the pool...
Alex Miller biodegradable BBs, they melt on water after a couple days they’d disappeared
That moment when the airsoft m16 does better than the real m16...
Pretty sure m16 works better than an AEG underwater
That moment when an air soft gun won't kill someone.......................
+MARSOCRaider Nguyen what?
Cause an airsoft M16 won't kill a man....................
That moment when airsoft AK is more expensive than a real AK...
Airsoft go too far lol
4:34, "again, just like the ass blowback rifles". LoL
LOL
*get's shocked* yeah the AEG works fine underwater
EsTeezZ probably impossible to get shoked
Oh Matt, who would they find to replace you...
Peter griffin
+nopotato A clone of the first Matt.
Glaux De LOL
No, spy from tf2!
Myth: Is there ACTUALLY a silencer that ACTUALLY silences a airsoft gun, or does it just make the BB straighter and reduce muzzle flash?
yeah, my friend modified his silencer by putting foam in it, it actualy works!
Suppressors can silence gas weapons but not electric weapons.
***** He probably meant for gas guns. By "flash" he probably meant the gas that was expelled from the barrel.
***** or maybe it was a simple mistake.
***** Dude chill. He already explained to you.. "By "flash" he probably meant the gas that was expelled from the barrel." A lot of airsofter i know say "flash" instead of saying "you know that gas burst pistols do"
For all the times you play airsoft underwater
Was I the only one scared for Matt's well-being when he said he got shocked by the AEG? :V
Spin Attack probably impossible its dc and not over 12.6v for sure
must have been one hell of a task to get all those damn bbs out of that pool lol
They are biodegradable they dissapear in water after a few days
How in God's name did you get that YMCA to agree to this, and why can't every business be this awesome?
We don't have the resources to make this a weekly series. Episodes will come out as they present themselves.
I guess you could just have a GBB that has super strong and easily replaceable internals, and just be a Navy SEAL.
Most definitely ! We did play once under moderate rain and it was a blast. You can't hear anything but the rain. Changes the whole game experience. Also we didn't suffer any damages on the replicas (though I can only advise to use GBBs & shotguns just to make sure nothing goes wrong regarding electrical parts)/
glad to see where the used guns come from
1) See what damage acrylic BBs can do. Example, can they shatter a car's windshield?
2) What is the best way to destroy your GBB mags?
3) Do springs compressed for long periods of time (days) lose tension? Recoil springs, mag springs? If so, how will it affect the function of the gun (especially a GBB)?

Lol its so funny how he talks like its a real gun " The gun is hot and ready to shot " " Oh you can see no round in the chamber "
lol "oooooh, you all right? It shocked me" That 9 volts was dangerous guys be carefull!
Awesome video. seriously! and matts face at 3:46 LOL btw that it is totally dangerous (trying an AEG under water) because if there is an electric shock, everything that is wet and under water, gets the shock and even can cause death.

They were meticulously picked up one by one by Matt with some goggles.

Maybe a mythbuster video with snow, because snow (although it is water) tends to act differently within the rifle.
That grenade went off FAST.
Matt your awesome!!! I mean c'mon who else would do this!!! Keep up the good work man!!!

I can't even get a decent gun and these guys are destroying theirs. lol

Sweet! Now I can play a Navy Seal in my next milsim game! Thanks Evike!!! :D
I like Evike's videos more and more every day. Pretty cool test.
I find it funny how he finds it necessary to be in the water as well lol. could've just put the gun in a bathtub instead.
I like how you used mainly we tech guns for testing
Do an airsoft battle under water with scuba gear? Could be very interesting...and entertaining.
You're face Matt before you put the AEG in, you're face!
Jeez its just an airsoft gun underwater. How can this be dangerous & why do you need trained professionals to watch you shoot an airsoft gun....underwater?! You know what, I'm goin to do it right now. *goes outside to pool w/ gun* *30 seconds later* *explosion & screams of pain*
the grenade was awesome...
now im gonna put this battery operated gun under water and see what happens *water electrocutes* in remembrance of evike spokes man Matt.
GBB pistols & GBBR have problems under 12°C (53,6°F).
I own a WE Tech M4A1 GBBR! I recommend to use an AEG in the snow!
haha the electric gun shocked him. surprised the water didnt fry the battery and wires. Imagine how much drying you would have to do on those internals
I've used an AEG in a typical UK down pour. That was 4 months ago and my AK still works as good as new xD
As long as the battery and the wirings are safe, it will be splash-proof (I did not mention waterproof because fully-submerge aeg would have a mess up gearbox).
i havent had a WE tech that worked well before. kinda surprized they got it to work well under water.
Omg you guys are sponsored by GoPro!! That's awesome!
Yes, hop-up is there for that role.
Yea.. The myth I would like you to bust that you can get an airsoft host to do anything while the camera is rolling. lol
It's fun to practice Airsoft myth busting at the YMCA!
wow, thats a really short fuse time on that grenade.
I live in AZ when it rains it pours hard being a diehard we prepare our guns in the rain we cover fuses and any open parts left on the gun with isulation. becasue we havent been shocked is why we continue even tho matt was shocked... it takes .6amps to kill a man and an average 8.4 voltbatte carries 1200 miliamp hours.12amps it wont kill you but it gonna hurt

What kind of chest rig was Matt wearing? Im looking for a good one. thanks
Curving a BB, ive seen someone do it on youtube before and it had to with the hop up, but it wouldbe cool to see it done by proffesionals that will consider everything
Grenade was my favorite part
when he put the AEG underwater i started losing it
If it has a hop-up system, yes. Just hold the gun side ways or upside down.
Here's a myth I want you to test. Tokyo Marui is the best.
Number 1 thing you need to do with this myth is a torture test.
thats because Aeg's are great in the cold Aeg's can pretty much work in any where except water ofcourse.
This was seriously cool!
Now I really want to try this
@Harry Hathaway I haven't heard of an 88 gram CO2 cartridge, sorry. AEGs are usually much more affordable(but can still be expensive) and they use batteries, motors, etc. While GBBs use gas to propel the bbs. GBBs are much higher maintenance and have much less magazine capacity, but they look much more realistic.
my house was flooded and my AEG was submerged at that time... but it still works even until now hehehe
Have fun trying to get those bb's out of that pool! :P
As for the test of the AEG under water, you guys were lucky nothing absolutely bad happened. Testing it in a pool is about the most extreme and with all that chlorine it could have easily burned that battery out and possibly explode.
I heard that it was proving that it can't not be turn in to a real fire arm if so it will blow the barrel part and the top and the lower receiver.
You should make this a series! On every monday!
I have electric p90 i played in A snow to i have to disemble it and i have spring bolt action sniper can i use it underwater
On the Pistol you should have done a Submerged and Above water shooting for control and If you do that make sure variables stay controlled I.e gas fill time, weight/btand of Bb, etc
That video was awesome guys! Alright I might have something for you to test, the durability of a gun with a metal body vs. a gun with a polymer body. Or just different brand guns metal bodies against each other, how impact resistant they are and what it takes to crack them
Omaha Beach game?
I have seen an episode on SONS OF GUNS where they put together 4 rifles that are fired by one trigger in a rig.....please do an airsoft version!!!
SAND,MUD,SNOW,SICK LOL
This was an awesome vid!
