m102404: This sounds like a good idea... however I'm not quite sure what it would achieve, there are plenty of video guides on YT about how to properly shim and setup AoE, as well as R-hopping, what would someone like me do in that case other than outline the parts I used and linked to those exact videos of people who have shimmed hundreds of guns or installed dozens of r-hops?
btw, more on supersonic p* and the v2 at 30rps and 450 rps. HS5 shows the guns in this clip

Gotcha...I was not envisioning an instructional "here's how to shim", because absolutely, there's tons of great references already out there. It would be great to have experienced builders post some vetted/validated references because sorting through the mass of crap to get a good reference is probably the hardest thing for a new guy. Having a reputable guy point out a reference and say, "follow this guide...watch out for step 5, I find this works...etc" is like gold.
I was thinking more so something along the lines of,
"Here's what I built...some notable points of why I set this part up like this vs. that...etc.."
"I'm aiming for a XX RPS build at YYY FPS and I am expecting it to last ZZZ,ZZZ # of rounds"
"I'm trying to improve the range/grouping/etc...from this...to that"
"I'm expecting the following issues/problems with this build...and here's what I'm doing to address that"
"I'm most interested in seeing how this new ABC part is going to hold up"
"It's dd/mm/yyyy and I've now put #### of rounds through it...here's what I'm observing...will post up at the ####### mark and tear it apart for inspection"
Doing so would showcase setups, highlight what parts work/don't, point out solid/proven finer points of a build. It'd also eek out aspects of a build that one builder would think is important and have that validated by others.
For new guys...there'd still be a flood of "I bought this new gun...is it going to last?". But if these threads are documented well it'll be a solid reference to point them to and say, "look at this build...or these parts...or set it up this way....it's worked well over and over"
The main issue with doing these threads is that the guys writing them up have to be diligent and detail oriented. Not really an issue for most gun docs who post here...LOL
