Easier to bring a real firearm, then hahaha.

What? idgi.
Thinking of getting these. My BDU jacket (and ammo) is still on back order from evike.com. Makes me kind of angry since the listing did not indicate this during my checkout, nor does it still as of this moment.
I'd skip on elbow pads unless you're getting some that integrate into your BDU top like the Crye Combat Shirt (or a replica of it). I can't stand elbow pads, the chafing from the straps on the inside of my elbow gets unbearable. They're also only really useful when you go prone really fast.
So my advice would be to save some money and just get the knee pads if you can.
Well if I were to just get the knee pads, I would go for either these or these. The price difference with my original choice isn't much, and it might be worth it to just get the bundle with both knee and elbow pads, even if I decide later not to wear the elbow ones. I have worn both types of pads before borrowed from a friend, and i do agree that the straps cut into your arm and reduces mobility. However, my friend and I would like to get all geared out, the more intimidating we will look against the other half ass players we play who go around wearing jeans and sunglasses.
Oh I need to know, if a full size Mk23 will fit in a normal holster?
No, I had a TM MK23 before my KWA KP45 (USP 45 fullsize) and it required a proprietary holster because the gun is so large.
I hate being left handed
One of the main reasons I got rid of my MK23, it was Non-Blow-back (no fun), and there were no accessories or upgrades for it except what it came with (suppressor and LAM). However if you're after performance the TM MK23 is godly, Non-Blow-back means more gas/power for the actual shot and it was also a very straight shooter.
Shit, if you want a performance gas pistol just grab a KJW Ruger Mk. II for cheap.
You got it. Honestly, they aren't necessarily more powerful, they are just more fuel efficient. You will get more shots out of an NGBB than a GBB, but if you crank the power up on the NGBB, it will come out the same.
Yea, a TM MK23 will fire about 56 shots on one gas fill (28 round mags = 2 BB fills per one gas fill). Throw a high-flow valve in there and you'll get more power and lower the gas efficiency a little bit.
My grandparents might acutely buy this for Christmas for me

Think I should say go ahead or what? And yes I switched back to M4 systems and not magpul, magpul expensive. Really what airsoft guns I always wanted were MP40, AK47, M4, MP44 in which I got half my list done so far :smith:
Got to site in my eotech replica and it added a decent amount of weight to it. I don't think I'll be buying stuff for a very very long time, my bank account is screaming at me lol.

And spartan, that looks like a really good deal, if you guys could order it before the end of this month, you can get 20% off by using the coupon code: evikerocks. It sucks that you have to pay them $55 to install the lower receiver though, if you have the know how I suggest you do it yourself.
I'd stick with the ACR or SCAR, better handling characteristics and easier to operate due to the ambidextrous controls. Save yourself the extra money and install the metal receiver yourself if you get the M4 though, it's pretty easy to do since you don't need to deal with opening up the mechbox.
Eotechs look like sex on SCARs.
Speaking of gun porn, I'm gonna leave this here:

I'm ordering myself that calender for Christmas.
If you watch the credits you'll see that Crye Precision (same guys that I recently bought those awesome pants from) created all the clothing for the shoot. At least all the Multicam stuff. I showed this video to a friend of mine that's done some fairly revealing modeling, she was down with a similar photo shoot next time she's in Calgary, gonna have to collect all my airsoft and real-steel together for that... Heh.
Airsoft GI has a 15% off coupon code "crazywow". It's gonna expire soon most likely so get on it!
Here's what my order is gonna be:
http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/5...oftgiorder.jpg
Total including shipping less than Sub-Total? Fuck Yes.
To bad I don't qualify for free shipping since I live in Canada (bastards!), but that's okay because I still get the free T-Shirt since my order is over $80 I think.
Nice, digging how you're ordering a completely new load out to match your new gun. Imma order this before the end of December, I'll get 15% off or free shipping if I can make the total over $100. I would rather get the shipping ($27) but the bastards ran out of green gas. Least they finally shipped out my stuff that was on back order from before.
Attachment 1853
O, and that $12 pistol, I figured it was a great deal considering the cheapest gas pistols around are $30ish. Dun really care what I get, I can fill in that holster that came on my vest.
Well, I usually wear Multicam for outdoor and my Multicam gear + SCAR = Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter load out. The tan MOLLE drop leg and dump pouch will also be for the GRAW kit as well as indoor. The OE Tech pullover and jacket are more for civilian wear and indoor games hehe.
Should all be here Monday (except the Magpul Ladder Rail Covers, those are backordered) pending Canadian customs. I'm really excited for the pistol mags and AFG fore grip. Hopefully I don't get dinged with giant importation/customs fees. I just read a story about a guy who bough $150 worth of stuff from AGI and got a $1,066.50 customs bill, obviously he's fighting it, but that's just silly.
S'okay Spartan094, we have aluminum BBs for ourarmourdermal-piercing needs.
Thanks freelancer, probably gonna order it sometime
Also look at how nice Evike is putting up a video in for the Matrix challenge m4 I'm probably getting for Christmas
They should rename that video Airsoft Evike.com- Shit you should already know about airsoft if you're buying this kit! Just kidding, no really though, everyone playing airsoft should know basic AR-15 operation and disassembly by now. It's only the most popular airsoft gun style, and I don't know why. If I ever buy an AR-15 style airsoft gun it would be a Systema, because they're clearly the greatest AEG's out there.
@Warsaw, we have aluminum BB's as well. They're DMR/Sniper ammunition.
Oh, I know you have aluminum BBs. I'm just telling him not to fret over us not having silica BBs. :)
However, I don't condone the use of aluminum BBs. Metal doesn't have elasticity like plastic does, so it behaves quite differently on impact.
That's why it's only for DMR's and snipers that are looking for a more consistent projectile path.
Ours is 50 feet / if you can sprint to them in under 5 seconds you're to close.
I should buy metal and silica bb's just in-case if I ever need to invade Canada with my high FPS airsoft guns :realsmug:
Just got back from a failed game (-20 C = dead batteries and gas gun fail) and a guy was gunning a Systema/red cylinder at 550 FPS using silica BB's.
No. As far as I am concerned, if you are using metal BBs: fuck you, get the hell off the field. Use a heavy .43g plastic BB or learn to compensate for windage, but do NOT use metal BBs. Not at five, not at fifty, not at one hundred feet. The reason airsoft is even a different classification from legitimate BB guns is because they are using plastic ammunition, which is where the "soft" in "airsoft" comes from.
They hardly hurt more than silica BB's... I don't see what the problem is if you're experienced enough to judge safe MED. I don't think there are any fields up here in Canada that prohibit the use of metal BB's for DMR or Sniper roles, though you AREN'T allowed to use them if you're a nobody/unknown skill level player. If one is wearing proper eye protection it really shouldn't matter, we require at least ANSI Z rating eye wear (will stop a 12 ga shotgun blast from 10 ft).
On Saturday we turned away a young guy who just bought a new SRC AR-15 Gen III Pro that was shooting 440 FPS. That's in our DMR/Sniper FPS zone and no one knew who he was so we didn't let him field that gun. Someone lent him a TM Super 90 which was good.
Don't care. If you're allowing metal BBs, then you might as well allow players to use legit BB guns.
BB guns will shoot way hotter than airsoft guns, they're more akin to pellet rifles.
Also, check this out:
AFG-1 love and Magpuls on some of my mags now, my Airsoft GI order got here. And it got through customs for cheap as hell, because AGI may have fudged some prices on their invoice a little (lets just say all the documents that came with the package valued it at $60 instead of $260+)... Also got two more KP8 (KWA USP) magazines which were labeled as "plastic bearing holders" on the invoice lol.
So, can anyone give me a bad reason of getting one of these?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
The lenses aren't necessarily up to the task of protecting your eyes. Someone here bought something similar and when he tested it with .20's at about 380 FPS they cracked. If you buy a gas mask for airsoft it's always good practice to point-blank it with the highest FPS gun you can get your hands on, multiple times, to make sure it's safe enough.
My Airsoft GI order got here yesterday (13th) as you can probably tell by the AFG on my SCAR pics, here's some pics of the new gear I got:
OE Tech Base Pullover top.
OE Tech Fast Draw Holster on my right leg.
OE Tech Tactical Thigh Rig and attached OE Tech Dump Pouch on my left leg.
OE Tech Fleece Jacket.
Indoor T-shirt look:
Indoor base layer pullover look:
Outdoor high-speed rig:
Full assault kit:
And of course the free T-shirt you get for orders over $80:
lol who takes the pics?
The camera, self-timer set on auto-portrait mode. I should have manually set more settings, a lot of the photos are pretty blurry.
hhmmm, how well does that one-point bungee sling work? I'm curious about the whole method of slinging your gun using only one pivot. It seems like it could be rather comfortable, but could it really support my 8lb+ gun all day? Also I was thinking of getting this one, which could be converted between one-point or two-point easily. No way in hell it really is military grade, but I guess what I'm trying to ask is if you think that thing would snap or if the adjustment folds will completely give in. There are no reviews for that two-point sling, but there were relatively good reviews for the one-point only sling made by the same company (which is really irrelevant since "matrix" is the brand that evike.com uses to stamp onto brandless Chinese imports, but in practice, evike.com has a decent quality control for the products they put up on their website).
I'll get some pics of my full setup too once I get everything in. Remember when I ordered those elbow/knee pads off of some shady Hong Kong Ebay store? (probably not) Well after seeing this video, I'm pretty confident that the ones I ordered are one and the same. Which means I got them hella cheap at $30(it was $18 + $12 shipping) for both elbows and knees, and they also seem decent. The only down side is that it's going to take 10 years for it to ship over here.
Also, multicam's looking good,... slut.
The main thing you need to consider about single-point slings is the length of your gun, they're best for fairly short guns for one pretty obvious reason. If you've got a long gun it's possible that when you kneel with your weapon on the sling the barrel will hit ground, never a good thing. I've seen some people with fairly long guns (full length M16/G36) and the barrel almost touches the ground even when they're standing, those people were a little under 6ft tall though. Another thing to remember with single-point slings is that if your gun is long enough, it will be hitting your legs/knees when you're moving around. Some people complain about this... My opinion is that you should find another sport if you're complaining about a gun hitting your knees because you had to switch to your secondary while moving.
I used this sling with my G36K for a long time, as well as my SCAR now. The SCAR is significantly shorter than the G36K and works even better in a single-point configuration than the G36K did. As for weight requirements a single-point does a good job of spreading the load across your back and shoulders, not as good as a double-point sling would obviously but it isn't something I ever find myself thinking about. My SCAR weights around 7-8lb's and my G36K was about 10lb's with the C-Mag in and fully loaded, never worried about the sling breaking, but that comes down to the quality of the sling itself.
I was recently able to try using a Magpul MS2 sling at a recent indoor game, thing is awesome as you can transfer from singe to double-point extremely fast. And having a double-point configuration lets you sling your rifle on your back pretty fast like Tim does in this Airsoft GI TV video (skip to 4:30). The Magpul MS2 does this even better, and when I can afford it I'll be getting a legit one from Magpul.
So, looks like it's time for me to break open my gun after all. After just my first game today, my gun broke down. And out of the stupidity between my friends and me, we tried to keep firing to see if it'll resolve itself. Well I stripped down all the basic components down to the gearbox, and I can already see some gear erosion on the motor. That was probably caused from us continuing to fire. So there is probably a complete jam in the gear box.:neckbeard:
Bound gears aren't fun. What were the original symptoms?
It was the end of the battle, and I hand my friend the gun to fire the remaining rounds from my mag. He gave a full autoburst that went for about 3 seconds, then the gun started to cough out a horrible wheezing noise. The piston wasn't being cycled, and just the overall feel of movement inside the body was absent. You could still feeling the motor going in the pistol grip though. The gun continued to make this horrible noise every time the trigger was pulled, which I suspect was the motor gear eating in against itself trying to turn the clogged gearbox.
I'd check the motor height while you're at it. Sounds like it might need to be tightened up a little.
I'll probably checked it all out this weekend, after Christmas Eve. For tonight, I got some GRAW2 to play, picked it up for PC for $10 at a bargain bin in Best Buy.
Noticed that almost immediately, what did you do?! And it looks like the pin by "SAFE" isn't quite in all the way.
I had to wrench the last pin in by force, yet I had duck tape to make sure it WOULDNT scratch but it did for some odd reason, that took 30 minutes to figure out a solution after 2 hours of set backs for various other parts. and the pin by the SAFE I wouldn't bother using the rubber hammer after it wouldn't go in the 2 times after it got stuck to. I'll fix it AFTER I fix my bb's that wont shot out, they stay in place because I did something wrong with the hop-up unit which I will fix.
I had a fun day yesterday. At-least the scratch is in the front pin and not the back.
Just bought a Smith & Wesson Sigma 40F Blowback C02, Semi-auto. Pretty fun gun. Had a skirmish yesterday and my pistol got my kill.
http://www.z-shops.eu/images/GSG200407co2.jpg
I would like this to be my next gun:
http://www.airsplat.com/Items/GR-BELL-M700.htm
I'd make sure you like the DMR/Sniper role before investing in a sniper rifle. They cost big bucks to upgrade to the point where they're accurate enough to warrant using over an AEG.
Opened up my gear box but found nothing broken. There was a broken screw on the trigger assembly, but that was locked in its socket. I checked the pinion gear on the motor too, and found it to be loose. Even tightening that, the gun still shows the same symptoms when fired. I'm going to order a new set of bushings, a new o-ring for the piston, and a new pinion gear for the motor since I said that it already had wear on it. I'm hoping that a cleaning of the gearbox, and a new shim job will fix the problem. The motor seems to be spinning fine when we isolated it from the gear box. The gears themselves seem to be stuck, but have no damage to them. Also, I really don't like how the tappet plate reaches over the sector gear(the gear to the top right). But I think that's how all gear boxes are.
Attachment 1920Attachment 1921Attachment 1922Attachment 1923
I can't see the spring for the anti-reversal latch... If that's gone you'll need a new one and it's the cause of your problems.
And yes, the tappet plate is supposed to sit on top of the sector gear like that.
The spring for the anti reversal latch is there, I made sure it stopped the gears from turning the reversed direction every time before reassembly.
Magpul Ladder Rail Covers finally came in today:
Cut one in half for the two side rails (fit perfectly) and the long one is along the top rail so I don't cut/scratch/grind up my fingers on the sharp top rail when I work the charging handle. The ones on the side rails make it infintely more comfortable. I'm not sure what it is about the material that Magpul uses in their products but it's just awesome to hold onto and feel.
Fixed my SCAR finally! And of all days to do it, it's my birthday. Sorry for the lack of pictures, anytime I opened the gearbox up my hands got all greasy. It turned out being a huge goose chase since the problem was the motor height and not the gearbox (as freelancer suggested from the beginning). I originally thought that I adjusted the grip enough, but turns out I just didn't have the experience to know what tightness felt right. Well now I do, and it was a great learning experience to open up the gearbox so many times. I ended up re-shimming and re-lubing the gears, so it was all worth it in the end. I leave for school again tomorrow, but I'll have pics of my full load out the next game I go to. I got my MK23 with holster, and my bungie sling in the mail with my parts.
Oh, and I'll never make this mistake again:
Quote:
So I first tested the gearbox working with just the battery hooked up. When I fully reassembled the entire rifle, my dad suggested that I test dry fire again. Little did either of us know, there was still a round in the inner chamber all the way back from the day when it first broke. So when I fired, to both of our amazement, there was a LOUD bang against the wall on the far side of the room. Luckily I was aiming below the waste and downwards. Unluckily, it completely went through the paint and almost through the dry wall itself, from across the room! At least now I know the spring lost none of its power :D
Haha, motor height can be a bitch to get right if you're unfamiliar with adjusting it. As for your negligent discharge, always use a barrel plug or barrel bag when test firing without shooting glasses. If you had shooting glasses on, doesn't really matter haha. Hell I wear my sealed shooting goggles when taking gearboxes apart due to the danger of parts flying out into your eye. An anti-reversal spring to the eye would hurt like a bitch.
Soon I'll get this for my M4

http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_i...ducts_id=25388
Lot o' mags for m4. I'm gonna duck tape a pair of 2 together for a poor mans way of speed reloading. Btw thanks Freelancer :d
Don't get the flash mags if you're gonna get some pmags, I'd just get four of those 30 round pmags for $40 (They're $9.99 each not for four). I personally like the 90-100 round mid-caps myself, and like I said, I think those flash mags still rattle. If you get one do a review on it.
Speaking of midcaps, I want to use them instead of highcaps, but the only one I have has problems feeding. Apparently I gotta lube it up and load, unload them a few times? How would I lube it with silicone oil that is not in a spray?
Make sure you have super lightweight silicon oil, and then just pour a few drops onto the chaser and work it up and down.
The two kits I rock now, the Multicam is for outdoor and it's more of a full assault kit. The other is a lightweight indoor/PMC style kit:

If my parents saw my dressed up like that they would kick my out of the house...for a few hours. My dad would call me a terrorist and my mom would think I was the guy who shot those two police officers in Florida. :smithfrog:
Sigh... if only I wasn't in such a spending spree a few months back. Instead of jumping at one of those generic preconfigured vests, I should have invested in a molle system with and a bunch of pouches.
That SCAR is gorgeous.
The only brick that was ever gorgeous was the F4 Phantom II. :ross:
I'll agree with that. lol.
I think the F4 Phantom looks hideous, but since we don't fly them around shooting 6mm BB's or Nerf rockets in airsoft, shush.
It was another way of saying that the SCAR is a terrible-looking firearm regardless of how many or what type of attachments are on it. It was on-topic.
Well in that case you're just completely wrong, the SCAR is gorgeous like Teek pointed out. The KRISS Super-V is even hotter.
The Kriss is indeed good-looking, so long as you leave the stock folded. The SCAR is a slab, no two ways around it. Want a good looking gun? Try on a CETME/G3/G33. Too bad no airsoft manufacturer really makes them anymore.
How can you like the KRISS if you don't like the SCAR? You are literally the ONLY person I know that knows a bit about guns in any way that thinks like that. Most people will like the SCAR, and LOVE the KRISS. Or they'll dislike the SCAR and HATE the KRISS. The KRISS is even more of a slab than the SCAR after-all.
Once KWA/KSC come out with their KRISS GBB I'm going to be getting one as my secondary. At that point I'll be switching my SCAR from GBB to AEG as well, probably get a used VFC SCAR-L standard length.
If my memory serves me right didn't madbull make a prototype KRISS airsoft gun but they discontinued it before it even got mass produced?
E: scratch that, I watched the Las Vegas Shot Show 2011 and kwa usa is working on a KRISS airsoft gun bringing it back, theres only a clay mold atm.
Also my lazy ass finally fixed my airsoft m4, I'm buying a new battery and I need to fix something in the interior so the magazine doesn't slip down abit
The KWA KRISS Super-V/Vector has been in the works for months. I saw a shot show 2011 video where a KWA rep stated that they have the internals down pat and they're just fine-tuning the Super-V. It probably would have been out by now except the designers got sidetracked by making a KRISS K10.
SCAR is literally a rectangle slab with a cylinder poking out the front and a prosthetic foot posing as a stock. It looks like balls. The Kriss has a unique shape and the front end is rather well embellished. The idea of the downard-directed recoil makes it awesome. What does the SCAR have that makes it cool? Absolutely nothing that an M4 or an HK416 doesn't have, both of which also look better.
=|
SCAR looks better than any stock AR platform, but I do like a good 416. Looks wise, ACR/Masada wins hands down though.
I'll drink to that.
i want a good quality gas (preferably propane / green gas) single shot M14 or FAL. something with good range and accuracy, decent mag capacity (~50 would be enough). idc if its blow back or not. id prefer it in black (as opposed to fake wood or something), and with mostly metal parts. iv been looking around for one of these, but the only m14s i can find are AEGs. i greatly prefer single shot over automatic so im forced to actually aim (otherwise i know ill just hold the trigger until i hit something), and out of every gun iv used, my gas pistol has performed the best.
if anyone has seen one of these and would be so kind as to post a link, id greatly appreciate it :)
fake e: also, im considering this if i get some money: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...oducts_id=5734
is it worth it?
http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_i...ducts_id=32862
From what I can see from the second video, that one is pretty awesome. It kicks like a .22 apparently. Actually, I think that one is the only gas M14 available, but it has a synthetic wood body. On a side note, my friend who got me into airsoft loves the real life counterpart of the M14, so naturally he went and got an AEG version. After a few outdoor games with it, he had decided that the M14 is just too large to carry around without much advantage over your average M4 AEG. I don't know if the gas M14 shoots significantly better than the more common models, but it's cumbersome size is something that you should consider. And obviously, you wouldn't be bringing it to your local indoors arena.
Typewriter is class, man. I actually want to get one so me and my buddy can wear suits and fedoras, me with the Typewriter and him with the BAR.
WE makes the best GBB rifles on the market right now at an affordable price, obviously you can spend a lot more for a custom setup or something less common but it's a HUGE price jump. That WE M14 is your best bet if you're set on a gas M14.
Just note that gas guns don't work (at all) in the cold. I should have looked into this more before getting my GBB SCAR, I'm going to be trading it for an AEG SCAR.
yes i found this out the hard way with the green gas beretta 93 raffica i got last year for christmas. i thought it was broken at first, but then i realized it was because it was cold as balls outside.
and yes, im aware of the size of the m14. im also seeing on that page that it has automatic too, so now im definitely very interested in this gun. my only gripe is that its 11 pounds, but thats hardly an issue. also i only play outside, if i ever play, so the size is fine. i like to target shoot with my airsoft guns, and i was looking for realism, so this is basically exactly what i had in mind, aside from the wood instead of black. thanks for the link delta :D
E: and yes warsaw thats exactly what i had in mind when i was looking at the thompson 1928
Except are you short with a tall friend? :p That's what made it awesome; I'd be the short boss man and my buddy (who is 6' 7") would be the strongman. We would just sit in the main hallway spraying it down with BBs for an entire game, wearing the exact same outfits with the exact same mask, with ties in a colour-of-the-day.
I already play in a suit and red tie (yay Hitman!), but I don't have a pistol any more. I would also like to get dual silver 1911s (absolutely NO rails under ANY condition) so I can fulfill that fantasy as well. Also need a Wehrmacht uniform and an MP-40 (modded into an MP-41). So many ideas, so little money...:gonk:
no, but im 5'9 with a big italian nose and actual tailored suits from the early-mid 1900's from my grandfather, with the new york style italian accent if need be :)
Win. Do it.
One time I had to dress up from the 1920's, felt badass it's just I was just missing the thompson :(
Reminds me I'm only going after 2 more airsoft guns and I'm done buying for good. Just need to spend money on other things then airsoft right now.
Same. Things like two ATI Radeon HD6990s or a good recurve bow...
So I'm officially looking to trade my WE Tech SCAR GBB Rifle away for a VFC SCAR-L (standard length, not CQC) or sell it for funds to buy said VFC SCAR. I'm doing this because I realized after buying the SCAR GBBR that I'm not excluded from outdoor games in the winter. I can't afford to field a winter AND summer gun at this point, so the GBBR needs to go in favor of an AEG. I love the realism that the GBBR offers, but I just can't deal with not being able to play in the winter.
However, I'm also very tempted by the G&G FN2000 series. The adjustable spring tension and quick spring removal is very cool, would let me upgrade to an outdoor capable spring (420 FPS~) yet lower it down to acceptable indoor standards. I'm also tempted to get an Ares TAVOR but I'm skeptical on the expandability of the geabox.
Kind of an irrelevant post for you guys since none of you outside Canada would be able to take it off my hands without border issues, but I wanted some feedback on what to get next.
Eventually I'll pickup the KWA/KSC KRISS Super-V when it's released in GBB format, I'll rock that with my KWA USP for indoor and I'll run all three guns for outdoor (rifle primary, KRISS secondary, pistol tertiary). Yes it's possible and very doable, KRISS would just hang from its own sling system on my side or I might rig up a custom thigh holster for it on my left leg making use of the MOLLE panel I wear on that side now.
