Damn it's hot over here.
Oh man, I just remembered this thread existed. I should post my ghetto as fuck airsoft stuff.
Yeah you should! I haven't posted on modacity for like a year and the last thing was the M4 AEG that I did for my CAD final. I actually fully rebuilt that and it works great now.
E: And it was heavily inspired by Cortexian's M4...
I got some bolle X800 goggles recently. Nicer than the ESS ones I have since they're less tall. Helmet doesn't force the goggles down on my nose and much more comfortable. Only issue is my glasses are kind of to wide and hit the lenses. Might have to get an RX insert.
I pretty much have contacts exclusively for airsofting lol.
I tried contacts once in Jr High and they bugged the shit out of me so I didn't stick with them. I've been told that I should try them for a solid week and then you get used to them.
I never really had problems starting out with contacts, but I've heard that people might have problems with certain solutions. They might be allergic to certain ingredients depending on which brand they buy, so you could just try out several different brands of solution to see if they're better for you. The only other physical problem I've heard of is that some people's eyes are too small for lenses to seat properly. Maybe your eyeballs weren't fully developed yet as a child?
Contact lenses are like a godsend for me and airsofting. I can run any type of eyepro without dishing out $$$ for prescription swap-ins. That's always an option I suppose, but you would have to do it for all of your eyepro.
guns kill people
whoops i thought this was the guns thread sorry
I finally got off my ass and took some pictures of my stuff!
First off we've got the primary automatic gun of destruction:
This is the King Arms M1A1 Thompson. Full metal with simulation wood (I know). Currently using this with the stock 8.4v battery it came with.
Wait what is that on top? Is that...
You bet your ass I attached a shitty Chinese red dot site to that mofo!
"But Donut," I hear you ask, "what will you do when your WWII spam cannon inevitably runs out of ammo with that tiny ass 60 round magazine?" Fear not, for I have another, smaller spam cannon to back it up!
The KWA M93 Raffica. With an extended ~50 round magazine and semi, full auto, and 3 round burst firing modes, this marshmallow cannon of doom will spray down anything I missed with the primary.
Wait, it's not a primary itself? It sure looks like it:
(disclaimer: that stock actually sucks ass. The sights end up way too close to your face, and I'm pretty sure my particular stock is broken, because it won't lock into place when extended. Oh well.)
Ok, ok. That's all well and good, but I'm an out of shape computer nerd. I can't run all over the place just to shoot some people with plastic pellets. I'd much rather ride passenger on a 4-wheeler, Halo 3 style. Surely the Thompson is too big for that! That's why I have this:
It worked for Soviet tank crews, and it works for me. This is the JG VZ-61, commonly known by its (much more badass) nickname, the Skorpion. It's got a pretty shit 7.2v battery out of the box, but those magazines are all hi-cap 80 rounders, so they'll last a while.
"But Donut," I hear you say with increasing impudence, "How are you going to effectively spray down targets while you're on the move with only an 80 round magazine? I know you're not that good a shot!" Silently, I hold up my hand and present this:
You bet your ass that's a shitty plastic foregrip off a $10 Walmart gun! Oh, and the thing behind it? That's a 380 round drum magazine. Yeah.
But everyone runs out of ammo eventually, right?
Wait, what the fuck is that? Could it possibly be...?
That's right! A home made duct-tape mag pouch for spare Thompson magazines (and yes I know, velcro is bad. Boo hoo). They're actually pretty solidly constructed. I use cardboard from a cereal box as the base material to reinforce the pouch. This particular pouch brought to you by Honey Bunches of Oats!
And here it all is, all together. What a happy family of plastic shooting machine guns!
I've got some other equipment and clothing that might be worth sharing later. I figured I should stick to just the guns for now, but I do have some fun outfits to go along with it all. I'm also considering getting a gas powered revolver and modifying the shells to hold multiple pellets, so I effectively have an revolver that shoots shotgun blasts.
If it wasn't absurdly obvious, I'm not super serious when I play airsoft.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to InnerGoat again.
