airsoft

[zealous blaze]

alright the klesh 2u

https://www.taiwangun.com/lights-lasers/russian-tactical-led-flashlight-k-2u-black-wadsn

think it'll do the trick?

[honest meadow]

friend has one and its bright but not as much as u would think

[lilac arrow]

So it will work better than regular green gas and not break stuff? Don't want to risk breaking another airsoft Glock

well I didn't break the last one, it kinda did by itself but maybe I used the wrong green gas for it I guess

[limber flame]

it wont break anything

makes no difference wear wise

it just makes maintenence more awkward

and gunks up parts

[lilac arrow]

regular green gas or one without oil?

[limber flame]

the regular

[lilac arrow]

so the one without oil is better and does not have any cons like regular (the gunking up and mainetence)?

[limber flame]

mhm pretty much

[lilac arrow]

Well then I am really confused why most of green gases on the market have silicon oil in them

but I'll get one without oil then

[limber flame]

i only say the maintenance issue because sibce theres oil and possibly crap getting into your barrel and hopup
youre gonna need to clean it more

[lilac arrow]

I suppose

[limber flame]

old "fudd" lore

companies think they know better

when the actual consumers have compared

thats why a lot of people reccomend running raw propane now

well
anyone worth their salt

[lilac arrow]

Are the green gases without oil raw propane?

or some mix of other stuff as well

[limber flame]

yeah
raw propane

just without the chemical that makes propane smell like ass

[lilac arrow]

But is it like, higher pressure than normal green gas or should it be the same? Heard higher pressures can kinda break green gas guns (like the red gas stuff)

[limber flame]

its slightly higher pressure but not enough to actually make a difference

[lilac arrow]

so it won't break stuff?

[limber flame]

nothing should break

[glacial drift]

Green gas is required in some fields because it doesn't smell like ass, or they think propane is a fire hazard

If you can just use propane it's cheaper

[limber flame]

"propane is a fire hazard"

green gas says flammable on the can

some sites are extremely intelligent

[lilac arrow]

So green gas does not even help with maintenance?

because I think I'll not clean the gun often since I'm not planning on going to airsoft fields in the near future

[limber flame]

it doesn't help

if youre not playing anyways i wouldnt bother cleaning or maintaining unless you start losing accuracy or the gun feels sluggish

[lilac arrow]

can't find any dry green gas in my country. Can I just buy or find a propane tank somewhere and use it? It's going to be the same thing as dry green gas, right?

[limber flame]

not really

propane canisters normally run at a higher pressure and are risky to work with

[lilac arrow]

Ah

Yeah I also thought it may be more risky

[lilac arrow]

What should I do then? Can't find any dry green gases

[limber flame]

https://www.powair6.com/en/gas/12484-swiss-arms-dry-green-gas-130-psi-760ml.html

get a few cans of it

should last you a bit with a pistol

[lilac arrow]

Where are they shipping from?

[limber flame]

i believe
france

shipping shouldn't be too bad

[lilac arrow]

Yeah my country's in the EU

[lilac arrow]

Hey also, so if I use it, if I were to shoot a pistol upside down no stuff would spray all over the gun and my hand?

[limber flame]

that will happen anyways

just the nature of it

no way to fix that unfortunately

[lilac arrow]

Ahh alr lol

Does that also happen with co2 tho?

[limber flame]

yeah

since compressed gasses are liquids in a contained state

[low umbra]

less yapping more pics pls

[limber flame]

blud lives in baltimore💀

[lilac arrow]

Hey, are biodegradable bbs good?

just wondering if I should get 'em

[limber flame]

if youre just shooting in your yard or whatever id say go for it

but unless you need em its not really worth

[lilac arrow]

yeah yard

what weight is the best for bbs?

in grams

[limber flame]

pretty much anything over .28

[lilac arrow]

so 0.3g is fine? Or is there anything better?

like heavier

how does it work tho? Like heavier = more accurate?

[limber flame]

not really

heavier moves slower initially but holds that speed longer

doesn't get effected by wind as much

and cuts through leaves better

accuracy is more a bb quality thing

tbf ive never noticed enough of an issue unless its dirt cheap crummy bbs

and yeah .3 is fine

thats what i run

[lilac arrow]

Alright. Also, are biodegradable bbs harmful for the gun parts? Heard people saying that they are on reddit.

[limber flame]

not that i know of

it shouldn't make any difference

i know bio bbs can shatter easier than regular ones but thats uncommon in the gun itself

[lilac arrow]

Ok

How much bbs I should get?

1000?

[limber flame]

depends how much you wanna shoot

i cant make a quantity assessment for you

[lilac arrow]

I'll get 2 packages of them I guess, if the glock won't break I'll get more.

[limber flame]

aight

[lilac arrow]

Well, I suppose the WE G19X will not break that quickly. Also are there any basic mistakes that I should not commit?

with the gun

not to break it

[limber flame]

all i can say goes for basic gun handling
dont be too rough with it
dont jerk the trigger like it owes you money

and just dont hit it on stuff

just the basics really

if it stops working
diagnose the issue and google a fix if youre not confident

[slate jay]

Going on a 3 day long milsim in 2 weeks packing my gear rn what yall doin

[lilac arrow]

Yeah I'll avoid it. But can I play around with the slide though? It was quite fun with my umarex glock when bored and got nothing to do

[limber flame]

oh yeah that should be fine

just like
dont rip it backwards

dont need to be too hard on em

[lilac arrow]

Yeah alr

[limber flame]

currently jealous of both your PKP and that youre going on a milsim

[slate jay]

If been waiting for half a year

Bought a pvs 14 specialy for it to

[limber flame]

based

i should be able to play again next month 🙏

well
i can but ive gotta get my shit together

been too fucking long since ive played

[slate jay]

I feel ya last time i went was befor winter

[limber flame]

same

[limber flame]

holy drip batman

fuck i cant wait to get paid

i will finally have a crye avs

i will be happy

[slate jay]

What you running plate carrier or belt systeem

[limber flame]

carrier

need to find a harness in small though

they dont exist anywhere unless i pay like 400+ to ship it from the US

[slate jay]

Like a sponsen

[limber flame]

hm?

[slate jay]

Sso sponsen

[limber flame]

oh no

the avs playe carrier can use a harness system inside it

moves the load to your waist

[slate jay]

Dont under stand

[limber flame]

the shoulder straps and side straps are a seperate system

it basically hugs your body unlike a typical cummerbund

[slate jay]

Alternative option tape it to you

[limber flame]

true

[old latch]

That's basically BS. Over here, bio bbs are basically required everywhere and everything above .25 is almost always bio. I've never heard of anybody having an issue with them being fragile.
Also, "biodegradeable" is subjective. Don't expect them to decay in any type of meaningful way, PLA is quite a resilient polymer. You need industrial equipment to get it to degrade at all basically. Still good to use bios though because the microplastic they shed isn't harmful

[hushed yoke]

it doesnt move the load to your waist it just makes it more comfortable than the standard shoulder straps.

[limber flame]

moves it lower

takes most of the weight off your shoulders

[low umbra]

lmao that's sick

[earnest fulcrum]

WHAT KIND OF HELMET IS THAT

[tribal tree]

Sohah bump helmet

[earnest fulcrum]

how does that nvg shroud work?

[tribal tree]

Like any other shroud

Lol

[earnest fulcrum]

it just looks wacky af

[slate leaf]

Tfw your comment gets automoderated into oblivion

[low umbra]

rip

[compact parcel]

what helmet pouch is that?

[dry hound]

Green gas

[low umbra]

💀

what did you do

[dry hound]

2 guys in this chat were like "no no dont shoot it its gonna exploade bla bla bla shrapnel omg!!!" like it was empty so no boom here its smashed and cut by like a old knife

and then if you scroll up like a lot theres more

[slate jay]

a random one i bought from aliexpres

[honest meadow]

yea but u said before that it still had gas in it thats why we said stop shooting it

[honest meadow]

and u also said whole heartedly that they were built to withstand bbs too

[low umbra]

💀

read warning label

says enough

[dry hound]

Then my bad

It was like prob 1 am for me or 2 am

[river bison]

hmm i think next game its warm enough for GBB's to be used effectively in the early morning

[lilac arrow]

@limber flame Hey, does green gas with silicone do anything bad enough to break stuff? And if it does some unneccessary stuff, is it possible to clean/fix later? I want to see if the gun works before getting any stuff.

[limber flame]

it wont break anything

your gun will be fine

[lilac arrow]

So silicone in green gases just does unnecessary stuff? Will it be fine if Ijust use it a bit before the green gas without oil arrives?

[limber flame]

again
it'll just get oil in places it shouldn't

and worst case it gets gunk into the barrel and hopup

making maintenence a bit more annoying

[limber flame]

yeah it'll be fine

[lilac arrow]

But that's not enough to permanently break stuff?

[limber flame]

no

its easily cleanable

just annoying having to add another thing to keep an eye on

[lilac arrow]

Alright. I think I have the green gas called smart gas, is it fine?

https://gunfire.com/en/products/smart-gas-tm-1000ml-1152204167.html

this I think

if I remember correctly

[limber flame]

hmm
smart gas has a lot more silicone in it than other gasses

vut it should work fine enough

with regular wet gas if youre shooting it often id do just a quick wipe down of the barrel every week or whatever

cleaning rod and some kitchen roll

[lilac arrow]

Does the silicone stuff inside and in the parts vanish by itself with time if someone starts using dry green gas?

[limber flame]

it wont really vanish

[lilac arrow]

for other parts

[limber flame]

it'll just probably get forced out over time

[lilac arrow]

Alright then. I guess I'll keep using wet green gas until that dry one arrives.

[lilac arrow]

Oh, and also is dry-firing bad?

[limber flame]

uhhh
on AEG's and springers yes
not really with gas guns

due to the nature of its doing what it would do anyways

just without a BB in the way

a lot of modern gas guns have things for dry firing

my TM came with some mag follower stoppers so the slide doesn't lock back

and VFC M4 mags have a dryfire mode

[lilac arrow]

Can I also do that while holding slide release?

[limber flame]

yes

[lilac arrow]

alr

[limber flame]

it will be fine

[lilac arrow]

When my Umarex Glock stopped locking the slide at the last BB I thought it was dry firing that caused it

I am still pretty confused about why it stopped locking the slide after just two days

I think it's the mag like people said

it was 17 bbs back then but now it seems umarex changed it to a mag of 22

maybe they fixed issues like that by making a new mag

[limber flame]

probably

im not super versed on older VFC pistols

[lilac arrow]

Why is getting new mags quite hard?

for the price of airsoft mags you can sometimes buy a new replica

and sometimes they're not even that easily available

[limber flame]

no clue

i remember when GHK mags used to be 100+

💀

[rapid wolf]

$50 elite force glock mags

[zealous blaze]

replace glock with mp7 gbb and thats me

[lilac arrow]

Could green gas in any way break anything ? Like if you get too much of it inside the mag or anything like that?

[limber flame]

no

it wont break anything

ive listed the issues it can cause

[lilac arrow]

Oh wait uh what about red gas or black gas

[limber flame]

VFC mp7 mags arent terribly expensive

[limber flame]

generally unnecessary

but they increase wear and tear because theyre higher pressure

[lilac arrow]

I know but I heard about them being bad for the guns

[limber flame]

and some guns cant handle the higher pressure
TM for example

you shouldn't ever need red or black gas

[lilac arrow]

Yeah I never wanted it I was curious

But how long does a green gas gun generally last?

[limber flame]

most good guns can operate around freezing temps anyways when properly maintained

[limber flame]

kinda depends on how much you shoot

[lilac arrow]

Heard CO2 is better at lower temp

[limber flame]

they last reasonably long though

[limber flame]

yes and no

[lilac arrow]

Years?

[limber flame]

no

do you mean just sitting or when refilling mags?

[lilac arrow]

I am talking how long it takes for them to start to malfunction if someone uses them a lot

And does not do any bad stuff to them

[limber flame]

its considerably higher pressure which technically works better for cold but it also causes more damage to guns, is more expensive and has a worse cooldown issue

if you shoot too quick the mag will freeze

[limber flame]

they wont malfunction within their lifespan

i can assure you

unless its been damaged

[lilac arrow]

So if I were to have the pistol for 10 years and would maintain the gun properly, it'd be fine?

[limber flame]

the gun will yes

but after 10 years you would have ended up replacing parts

[lilac arrow]

I guess so

[limber flame]

no gun when used will last 10 years without something breaking

but generally thats due to wear and tear

and is replacable

[lilac arrow]

Alright

is maintaining easy? I've never done it, kinda worried I'll break something and I guess I'll have to do it since I'll use wet green gas for some time.

[limber flame]

just go on youtube and find a video on your gun

theres guaranteed to atleast 1 good one

and them Videos i linked a bit ago gives you all the necessary general info

[lilac arrow]

so as long as I have at least average intelligence and I'll follow those vids the gun's going to be fine?

[limber flame]

yup

best way to put it

just dont be stupid with your stuff basically

[lilac arrow]

Alright

how often do you think I should clean if I use wet green gas?

once a week?

[crystal rover]

Tbh your really don’t have to clean guns

I didn’t clean my pistol for like the first 5-6 months

[limber flame]

yeah but you play indoorsd

dirt isnt really an issue

[limber flame]

once every 2 months really

depends on how dirty the gun gets

[lilac arrow]

Even with wet green gas?

[limber flame]

yes

[lilac arrow]

You also said that silicone goes to unnecessary places. Does it cause any weird stuff to happen?

[limber flame]

no weird stuff

no offence but youre kinda asking the same questions worded differently

it'll just get in the nozzle, hopup and barrel

which won't have any major noticeable differences until about a month of 2

depending on the current dirt conditions

if youre in a dirty area
it will get gunked up quicker

[lilac arrow]

Sorry, just don't want to have a next airsoft gun broken because of something dumb

[limber flame]

yeah i understand

but these things are semi fool proof

just dont be an idiot with it and it should work

and work for a while

i mean shi
ive got one thats like 5ish years old

ysed to be ran as a primary

just had to replace the hammer

but since it was used as a primary it got a lot more use

caused it to get quite dirty aswell since i play outdoors

on the regular i clean em every 2 months

but if i know theres been dirt or whatever on it i give it a basic check over and if its dirty i clean it

a lot of stuff can be figured out visually

[crystal rover]

No that’s was still when I played outdoors

[fathom olive]

huh theres an airsoft chat checks out i guess

[river bison]

MCX gang

[slate leaf]

Ya it a w gun I put a f2 in it

W

[honest meadow]

[ruby sapphire]

I backlit my 'stash

[honest meadow]

thats fucking cool as man

[ruby sapphire]

Thanks bruh, I use it as my background in my YouTube videos.

[river bison]

Bro for a second I thought you had an APC9K

I’ve been trying to get an APC9K but they are rare here

[ruby sapphire]

Where? They're legal here in canada.

Sadly my AA UDP9 got hit with our stupid ban legislation.

Everything out is airsoft. The real/cool stuff is locked away because of our dumb laws.

[rapid wolf]

brooo i wanna sell my aegs for an mp7 gbb but i need to finish accessorizing my current glock and gbb m4

so much shit i want

today is payday tho so imma go crazy on some parts

[hybrid vapor]

Dream setup honestly god damn

[river bison]

Assuming you live in the US it’s a good time considering a lot of the KWA MP7 shit has been restocked recently

Like the mags and the HPA tapped drum mags

I probably put like a thousand dollars onto the upgrades for this

[limber flame]

💀

only for it to perform on par with a VFC

also your rear sight is on backwards no?

[quartz torrent]

I finally have everything needed

[rapid wolf]

stop tempting me

i will do it

[river bison]

No lol that’s an HK rear sight lol

[river bison]

Lol fuck no it performs better and it also helps that it has the CQB bolt with wii tech parts and it’s HPA tapped so it’s not getting beaten to hell unlike running it on green gas because god knows every MP7 GBB both KWA and VFC has the chassis cracking issue

[limber flame]

vfc has backplate issues

rare and cheap fix

kwa cracks the frame

so does TM

[river bison]

I’ve literally went head to head with VFC’s on different fields and mine is the more consistent performer

Also good luck getting HPA tapped mags for a VFC in the US lol

Apparently the tapped mags for the MP7 is mostly sold in the UK so it’s obscure as fuck here

I like the KWA more also because of parts availability

And after market parts

Main issue people had with the KWA is how the mags always cool so fast and the cracking issue

But you eliminate that issue with HPA lol

I just rescued this WE 416 lol

I just cleaned it, lubed it up after inspecting all the parts and nozzle

Test fired several mags on it, shoots 2 joules flat

[slate leaf]

Your ump makes mine look like it has autism

[marble pilot]

how can i get my stash this compact in game?

[rapid wolf]

if the gbb will crack i’m not gonna pick one up lol

i’m not gonna hpa it so i’d be running it green gas whole time

[river bison]

Yeah sadly it requires you to reinforce the back plate or just put a sorbo pad on it

That usually fixes the issue

[rapid wolf]

is it a cheap fix?

[river bison]

Yes

Also get a CQB bolt

[feral yacht]

So I dropped my fiveseven and the tip came off, Thought I broke it because I had never noticed the holes on the front of the slide of a fiveseven before. I soon realised that this is just what a fiveseven looks like from the front

no damage was done to the actual gun, the tip just seemed to be held on by a friction fit from hell and didnt wanna come off until I dropped it while spinning it like an idiot

[rapid wolf]

does that change how far the bolt will go back when cycling, pulling charging handle, etc

cuz a big part of why i get the gbb is the realism and i feel that using a cqb bolt will remove part of that

[river bison]

More like it’s to keep it field legal because Mp7’s shoot super hot out of the box

[rapid wolf]

o ic

[river bison]

It keeps the recoil

The CQB bolt is for fps

[rapid wolf]

i can swap between pretty easily tho right

[river bison]

Yeah

[rapid wolf]

just gotta remove the back and swap

[river bison]

Yup

[rapid wolf]

ight

maybe if i got some to spare after i swap out handguard on my m4 ill get an mp7

i prolly will

[lost cedar]

Has anyone here experience with the novritsch ssp 2? I thought of getting one.

[elder anchor]

Don’t

[old latch]

Generally avoid Novritsch, unless you really really want something and are ready to put as much money into the gun to fix it and make it actually useable as you spent buying it

[lilac arrow]

@limber flame hey I've just got the WE Glock

works well

but is the slide always supposed to lock when pulled with a mag inside?

[elder anchor]

If it’s empty

Yes

That’s how glocks and most semiautomatic magazine fed weapons work

You’ll find the bolt catch on the frame on the right hand side of the gun, it fits into a groove on the slide and catches the slide when the magazine runs empty

[lilac arrow]

mine does not manage to get into the thing that holds the slide release

sometimes

I have to hold it up with my finger

[elder anchor]

That happens when you run low on gas in your mag

[lilac arrow]

but isn't it always supposed to lock if you just pull the slide backwards with empty mag inside?

[elder anchor]

Yes it is

If that doesn’t work you may have an issue

[lilac arrow]

not again

bruh

It most of the time ends up like this when I pull the slide with an empty mag

Supposed to be like this

[elder anchor]

If you’ve got any lube

Take off the slide and lube everything up

[lilac arrow]

can this even fix this?

I just got the glock

It's new

[elder anchor]

Quite possibly

It’s been sat in a box for a long time

And it needs to be done anyway

[lilac arrow]

but it locks fine when I shoot the last BB

the slide release doesn't move up

when I pull the slide

would lubing fix this?

[lilac arrow]

I noticed something else

there's some space between the slide and the lower part

like you can see through it

maybe if I take off the slide and put it again

[elder anchor]

Might as well try it

[lilac arrow]

Do you think it's even possible to fix this? It's my second replica and the second one to have issues.

[elder anchor]

It’s absolutely possible to fix this

Bottom line is there isn’t really even an issue

If it’s locking back on empty after shooting the last BB that’s what it’s meant to do

[lilac arrow]

Yeah it locks but it doesn't always lock when pulled back

[elder anchor]

You don’t need it to manually lock on an empty mag

[elder anchor]

Why do you need it to do that

[lilac arrow]

well, more immersive

it does not bother me that much

[honest meadow]

so no mag in just u pull it back and it doesnt lock

like whenever u pull the slide back sometimes it locks sometimes it doesnt?

[lilac arrow]

yeah

most of the times the slide is like halfway locked

but it doesn't contact the slide release at all

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/923935194262679572/1099309290432495747/1682166130754.jpg

a slight move and it goes forward

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/923935194262679572/1099309344773906473/IMG_20230422_142203.jpg this is how it'd supposed to be like

[honest meadow]

yea just sounds like its a bit dried out after being in the box in the showroom for ages till u bought it just add some lubricant and itll probably solve the issue

[lilac arrow]

oh alright

is that normal tho?

[honest meadow]

i think so i mean if there was no gap it wouldnt be able to move

i mean u can see on even promotional pictures they all have a slight gap

[lilac arrow]

yeah my slightly broken umarex glock 17 also has it

WE G19X Gen.5 and Umarex G17 Gen 5

[honest meadow]

the WE trigger looks funky like it melted or smth

[lilac arrow]

idk

maybe silicone oil from green gas

hope that won't melt it

[honest meadow]

its not melted and wont melt it it just looks a lil funcky probs just the lighting

[lilac arrow]

it is shiny in real life

but it's like just shiny

[honest meadow]

unless u got some acid inside the silicone oil then its fine

[lilac arrow]

if it had acid I bet it'd start falling apart now

or like

[honest meadow]

yea ur fine

[lilac arrow]

when I started shooting it

my friend sprayed WD-40 in my Umarex Glock 17 and that's why it kinda fell apart

but the slide release was broken anyway

[honest meadow]

yea after that i wouldnt let him near any of my shit

[lilac arrow]

if the slide was locked a slight shake and it went off

so was already kinda broken

[honest meadow]

wouldve been a easy fix tho

[lilac arrow]

maybe

but now it started to fall apart

it may still work

[honest meadow]

a replacement is legit 5 pounds so like 7 dollars

[elder anchor]

This is 100% either a QC issue or a lubricant issue

[honest meadow]

yea if it doesnt fix it the just return it

[lilac arrow]

qc is quality control?

[honest meadow]

yea

[lilac arrow]

with my luck it's gonna be qc issue

[honest meadow]

if it is then u will be able to return it and get another if u want another or just get ur money back

[lilac arrow]

that was the only for we g19 gen 5 available in my country

there aren't any more I think

[honest meadow]

r.i.p

[lilac arrow]

well let's just hope a lubricant can fix this

because

if the slide does lock when the last bb is shot

I guess it's possible to fix

[honest meadow]

if the slide locks back im betting the lil bit of lube will fix it

[lilac arrow]

yeah it does lock back and sometimes when I pull it back it does as well

and more often when the gun is hold in a certain angle

[lilac arrow]

What's a good lubricant?

[honest meadow]

not wd 40

stuff like this

[glacial drift]

Doesn't silicone grease not work well with silicone o rings

[old latch]

I've been told for airsoft you should use pure silicon oil/ grease everywhere but the gears (AEGs, idk about GBBs). Only thing to look for that it's actually pure silicone and no weird additives because those can damage the o rings. Never had any issue with my seals so far

[lilac arrow]

yeah I learned it the hard way

because of my friend

[limber flame]

unfortunately that tends to be an issue with a lot of glocks
especially unlubed ones
its because theres quite a bit of friction with how the barrel drops and rotates

mine does the same

[limber flame]

good job modern airsoft guns use nitrile ones then

(why the silicone oil in gas myth exists)

[lilac arrow]

Oh, is it possible to fix this by lubing?

[limber flame]

more than likely

if that does fix it you might just need to break it in

give 'er some use

[honest meadow]

vigorously rack the slide while hunched over for maximum breaking in usage

[lilac arrow]

what's a good lubricant I can use?

[honest meadow]

stuff like this

[limber flame]

💯

[limber flame]

can actually reccomend this stuff for its price

[lilac arrow]

Can I use any silicone grease?

I think I have some

somewhere

[limber flame]

another one people tend to love is superlube PTFE greese

[limber flame]

as long as theres no major additives there shouldn't be any issues

[lilac arrow]

is lubing a permanent fix tho?

if you lube it once

[limber flame]

its not a permanent fix because eventually you'll need to clean it out

[honest meadow]

itll stop it from doing it as often but itll still happen nothing u can rlly do cause its how the glock platform works

[limber flame]

thats when you apply another coat

[lilac arrow]

do all WE Glocks have this issue?

my umarex glock is broken but it still manages to lock the slide every time when there's an empty mag inside

[honest meadow]

its because of how the glock works in airsoft and real form so yea most likely some companys might have the problem more than others

[limber flame]

iirc VFC glocks have heavier slides and thus a stronger recoil spring so it wont get caught up

(umarex)

[lilac arrow]

bruh

[limber flame]

it wont ever effect you though

trust me

[lilac arrow]

every green gas airsoft replica I bought came with an issue

[lilac arrow]

I guess

[limber flame]

this happens to everyone dw

its the nature of this system

but yeah
my mate has a WE glock that hes had for a long while that doesn't hang up mid way

so im assuming breaking fixes it

mine hangs up because TM has lightweight slides and weaker springs

[lilac arrow]

by breaking you mean using it a lot?

[limber flame]

but not once has it caused an issue

[limber flame]

not a lot but just a bit

new guns are generally a bit stiffer

[lilac arrow]

is slide not locking when last bb is shot a bigger issue?

my umarex glock had that

after 2 days

[limber flame]

that is probably a mag issue

does your WE do that?

[lilac arrow]

nope

if I shake the glock with the slide locked

it unlocks

[limber flame]

hmm

probably a broken slide lock then

not getting enough connection to the notch

[limber flame]

oof

[lilac arrow]

the slide releases so fast after it gets locked I had to hold the slide release

any slight movement

[old latch]

I wouldn't use that on moving plastic surfaces though, it's a particle lube so it will erode your plastic and o rings

[limber flame]

well yeah
its not for plastic
but since this is a WE you have metal surfaces minus the nozzle

[hushed yoke]

your meant to use silicon grease

[slate leaf]

i wuv fc glocks

but my slide is wobblier than yo mama

[rapid wolf]

if its new u may just need to break it in

[honest meadow]

yea id say just get a replacement slide release

[rapid wolf]

i had a few hangups with the slide release when my glock was new and i just used it a bunch and now it works no issues

also if thats a 17 then taking off the orange tip destabilizes the barrel cuz it acts as a spacer

19 doesnt really have that problem but the 17 does

[honest meadow]

just means he has to get a kickass looking comp for it

[rapid wolf]

i might pick up a comp or a small tracer unit for my 19 with the slide kit im gonna get

[honest meadow]

yea glocks with comps on look sick

[rapid wolf]

i wish glocks just came with threaded barrels

then i wouldnt have to go out of my way to get an adapter or a slide kit like im doing now

[honest meadow]

yea i do love the look of the SAI gold barrels tho

[rapid wolf]

i like the sai barrel and slide but man i just hate the sai logo on it for some reason

it just looks ugly to me

[honest meadow]

yea i dont mind it cause its kinda subtle

[rapid wolf]

also the sai slide with the rmr mount is super expensive compared to the dytac slr one

which is on sale rn for below 100

[lilac arrow]

nah not worth it

gonna be hard to find and that glock's been broken for a long time now

[honest meadow]

u were opfor im guessing

[lost dove]

watching the sun rise after staying up all night on fire watch and making tea by using the fire heat from the bricks around the pit hits different

[lost dove]

yea

we had some of our other guys wearing Multicam and M81

[honest meadow]

ye ive heard that being opfor is fun af

[lost dove]

big plus Is that my 6b45 is coming through customs soon hopefully

so I'll be able to lean toward VDV once I get a proper suit for it

[honest meadow]

especially in oxides vid where he interview's the guy who worked in Sheridans and was a opfor bmp a couple times

[limber flame]

American vics used for opfor is really neat

you seen the abrams they use to simulate T series tanks

they painted it green and slapped some ERA on it

[honest meadow]

yea cant wait to get railed by it in top tier warthunder

[limber flame]

and yet everyone thinks its a Ukrainian abrams

because ERA

[honest meadow]

cant wait till the russian players get a hold of it and slap their V and Z decals on it too

seems like they do it to every vehicle they have

saw a fucking reserve tier french armoured car with a V on it

Is it possible to break a gun by accidentally putting to much gas?

[limber flame]

no

[elder anchor]

Mk18 to boot

[limber flame]

tall ass geissele mount fo today

[elder anchor]

1.93 Glissy LPVO on top

[limber flame]

didnt realise they made one in 1.93 tbh

[elder anchor]

i really like it

for airsoft especially

[lilac arrow]

My glock keeps doing that with full gas mag bruh

[elder anchor]

mag issue

[limber flame]

a full gas mag shouldn't make a difference

its always a constant pressure

are you spam firing it too quick

actually
might be an issue with the gas

[elder anchor]

had this issue with my raven glock

too much gas

shitty valve on the mag

[limber flame]

i remember running a really oily gas with my guns before and it used to freeze the nozzle

[elder anchor]

lubricate the mag and the seals

[elder anchor]

it could be too many things

[slate leaf]

Finally got some pouches for the ole D2, a shame they're for a Val

Bit of a pain to fit AK mags in

[elder anchor]

why not just buy molle pouches

[slate leaf]

Cause I mix airsoft with impressions

[elder anchor]

so buy some WAS mag pouches

used very commonly by rusfor

[slate leaf]

Yeah, not by FSB A in 2009 tho, which is the kit I be doing

[elder anchor]

fair enough

[slate leaf]

I'd get AK pouches for it, but Black ones for for like 100 each

It's painful

[lilac arrow]

with the gas itself?

it was firing fine at first

[limber flame]

could be causing the nozzle to freeze

[lilac arrow]

actually I think it's an issue with the slide

[crystal rover]

The maxim 9 is nice af

[lilac arrow]

it kinda snaps to one position in between locked slide and unlocked

dude also once I couldn't get gas in properly in the mag and it sprayed all over my finger and I felt like it was burning like hell

finger still kinda feels weird

[limber flame]

freeze burns tend to hurt

[lilac arrow]

Yeah sure does

but can it cause frostbite?

[limber flame]

nah

but if its a very large amount really quickly it could scar

ive still got a scar on my lower back from when my nate sprayed an aerosol on me while i was sleeping

[lilac arrow]

oh

my finger still feels weird let's hope it doesn't fall out tomorrow

[limber flame]

it wont

it'll just tingle for a bit

[lilac arrow]

yeah just kidding

I think I'll wear some gloves next time

[limber flame]

i try and keep my appendages away from the fill valve
ive blasted my fingers too many times

[lilac arrow]

the glock after firing like three mags started working weirdly

maybe the mag got too cold

[limber flame]

probably

[lilac arrow]

Hey but do you think the glock came faulty or is it just some gas / cold related issue?

[limber flame]

probably a cold issue

[lilac arrow]

I'll try getting that dry green gas

[lilac arrow]

yeah or with that slide

cuz it snaps like yours

[limber flame]

if it was your third time filling that mag it might be too cold

also break in period

could still be a bit stiff

[lilac arrow]

yeah and it also seemed like the gas was emptied out too fast

after the mag got cold

[limber flame]

yeah
sounds like a cold mag

let it warm up a bit then try again

ive noticed that sometimes if im just dryfiring then it starts to get cold and sound pathetically weak i just warm it up and it gets a bit snappier

warmer gas is typically higher pressure

[lilac arrow]

Oh and also forgot to say that my glock started to stop locking after like shooting around 3 mags as well

and when I dry fired it didn't lock as well

however it seems to be caused by something different than weak slide release (like my umarex glock)

[limber flame]

yeah
might noy have enough pressure to get all the way back then

[lilac arrow]

because when it gets locked it holds it well

[lilac arrow]

I noticed that the slide release doesn't make it high enough to actually lock the slide, is lubing the only way to fix it or can I just try and just use the glock more and maybe it'll start working properly?

i do that for my empty duffel bags that look flat

unless you are gonna fill it for real

[rapid wolf]

i fucked up the screw holding my gas nozzle in on my elite force glock 19, am i fucked?

i was trying to get it out to put it into a slide kit i picked up today but i think i fucked the screw

[rapid wolf]

the screw is out way too far

[river bison]

You might have to get a rebuild kit if you lost something

[rapid wolf]

can’t even get the rear sight back on

[rapid wolf]

i wonder if they sell the gas nozzle + backplate assembly seperately

thats all i really need

[river bison]

https://www.evike.com/products/12300/

@rapid wolf

[rapid wolf]

is there a backplate assembly available? thats the part thats stuck in cuz the screws fucked

[rapid wolf]

i have another backplate that came with the slide kit, is there another way to fit it on?

or am i just dumb

Also need to get new helmet this one has pads thst you need to put inside

And they fall off

[crystal rover]

I love it

[honest meadow]

Rlly want one but mags are expensive and sold out

[velvet pagoda]

Why do you need a new helmet

[velvet pagoda]

ATAIRSOFT FMA Tactical Airsoft Helmet Chin Strap X-Nape Suspension Adjustable System ACH OCC-Dial Liner Kit with Soft Comfortable Cushion Pads Fastening Screws Accessory for Fast Helmet https://a.co/d/iGUVCw1

Find one like that that you like but if a new helmet is cheaper just get a new one

Get yours like this

[dry hound]

i found a helmet for like 88usd

[velvet pagoda]

That is a lot

[dry hound]

kind has the same interior

[velvet pagoda]

Imo

[dry hound]

more in my country

380

[velvet pagoda]

Mine is a ballistic not a bump however

[dry hound]

ok

i found one and im happy with it

ill order with my dad cause my brother also needs one

[velvet pagoda]

What a helmet

[dry hound]

LSHZ

I bought a new one

[velvet pagoda]

If he is sniping he should buy a viper hood lmao

[dry hound]

My dad said he aint taking him to any big events

I have a heavier vest now

With neck protection and arms

[velvet pagoda]

$40 or something this one was

[dry hound]

do you know any good mag pouches you can put on a vest

[dry hound]

yeah

i need those where did you get them?

[velvet pagoda]

I got that on wish a long time ago lmao

[dry hound]

oh

okay

[velvet pagoda]

This is what i have now

I just use whatever mag stuff comes with my vest

If i were to buy any itd be amazon

[dry hound]

exactly the type of vest my brother wants

[velvet pagoda]

Its yakeda on amazon

I bought tons from them

1000D

Nylon

[dry hound]

k

[velvet pagoda]

It holds real plates very easily

[dry hound]

my vest that i use now is from afghanistan

[velvet pagoda]

Buying milsurp is the coolest for airsoft

[dry hound]

I just need to put special sponges for the arms and neck

Cause they sit goofy

[elder anchor]

no?

[dry hound]

This sr-25 is pretty cool but it has a problem where it fires 2 rounds and then one round and then again 2 rounds

Also bipod dont work

[velvet pagoda]

Just in my opinion

You can get a helmet with actual ballistic properties for $200

Not that itd be any good on backface deformation or something

[elder anchor]

not a good one

my FMA fast mt was 75

id argue thats minimum for a helmet

[velvet pagoda]

I spent $300 on my helmet💀

Just for the helmet itself which is really cheap

But i watched a lot of ballistic tests and it did as good as ops core

Heres a pic of it before i added the accessories

Ive done a lot to it since then

[crystal rover]

Prob jsut a hopup issue

Take it out, Take it apart and put it back together

[elder anchor]

i wouldnt trust a $300 helmet

why do people cheap out on body armour

it doesnt make any sense, at all

[limber flame]

civs dont need balistic helmets

ill stand by that

[rotund basin]

civs should be slaves to the government

ill stand by that

[limber flame]

if youre mimicking what im saying youre wrong

a civ doesn't need a balistic helmet

the odds of one actually stopping what youre against is slim

yoyre not getting bombed, mortared or hit with arty

spend the money you would on a helmet on actual plates
the equipment

the training

the resources you need to survive

[elder anchor]

and if you have money

buy an opscore.

best reason to buy a helmet is night vision

and if you have money for night vision you have money for an opscore

simple

[limber flame]

exactly

the best i can reccomend a civ is get good body armour since thats more likely to save you
train with and in your kit for various situations
and learn how to dissappear

[velvet pagoda]

I watched 6 videos of people hitting it and it did the same as ops core

[elder anchor]

just as good is not going to get you anywhere

[velvet pagoda]

Bro what💀

“It performs the exact same”

ITS NOT GOOD!

I hate this server and all of its larper8rs

[elder anchor]

whats the name of the helmet

[velvet pagoda]

Ballisticarmorco

[elder anchor]

ask someone legit how it stacks up to an opscore in irl gear

[velvet pagoda]

Dude there are reviews of it by actual enlisted soldiers using it

[elder anchor]

and even more will vouch for the opscore

like many many more

who have done much more serious shit

[velvet pagoda]

I dont care dude im not getting shot in the head

I dont have to worry about it

It was either $300 helmet, 80s pasgt, or no helmet, im not spending a grand on something i wont need

[elder anchor]

why did you buy a helmet then...

[velvet pagoda]

People have never heard of having fun

[elder anchor]

why do you need a ballistic helmet to have fun

what are you a larper or something?!?!

unbelievable

[velvet pagoda]

I buy things because i can

[elder anchor]

why didnt you buy an opscore then

[velvet pagoda]

I dont do airsoft, i dont pretend im anything, i dont cosplay

[velvet pagoda]

Because i dont want a full price helmet

I am not buying a bump

And im not buying full price

[elder anchor]

why not

seen as youre not getting shot in the head

apparently

[velvet pagoda]

People would really rather own a $400 bump with 0% ballistic protection than a $300 ballistic helmet

Wtf is wrong with this server

[elder anchor]

but

youre not getting shot in the head

sowhy not get a helmet that does everything you have your helmet for better

[velvet pagoda]

How is it better

It’s literally more expensive and the same

My helmet has arc, my helmet has good cushions, why would i want a fake helmet

That doesnt have ballistic protection

[elder anchor]

youre fucking stupid

[velvet pagoda]

Says the one buying bumps

If anything were to happen anyways, (shtf) possibly, id have something actually viable aswell

Not that id even be wearing a helmet

Bump is just a waste of money

[hushed yoke]

$300 helmet…
We can buy ballistic helmets for £100

[velvet pagoda]

What, an ebay helmet?

Ill pass

[hushed yoke]

Surp

[velvet pagoda]

I have a few surp helmets with ballistics

But i dont trust it as much

I got two pasgts for $35 each

Not waterlogged or anything

[hushed yoke]

There surp for a reason

[velvet pagoda]

I saw a cool british tanker helmet for $75

I collect helmets

[hushed yoke]

Our funny tank helmets

[velvet pagoda]

Honestly want it

[hushed yoke]

Like a space balls helmet

[limber flame]

get an expensive bag on ebay for 200-400

(it has a virtus helm in it)

with all the bells and whistles normally

[honest meadow]

have a look on aliexpress

[limber flame]

visor, mandible, cover

swanky stuffs

[hushed yoke]

The virtus is cringe

[limber flame]

its alright for what it is

light as fuck though

its a glorified bump

just like the newest ops cores

the material just doesn't work well with the nature of BFD

[dry hound]

looks like the tip of a dick

[elder anchor]

bumps do everything a ballistic helmet does better other than being ballistic

which

seen as youre getting shot in the head

would be amazing

[honest meadow]

also even if u get shot in the head ur atleast out of that fight with a concussion no matter what helmet

[velvet pagoda]

The only thing they do “better” is weight

[elder anchor]

false

[limber flame]

airflow aswell

[honest meadow]

only thing they realistically protect from is frag

[velvet pagoda]

Throw a bump and a ballistic on the ground over and over ill place bets on which will break first

[elder anchor]

generally better NVG shroud as they can mould it into the shell

[elder anchor]

what?

[limber flame]

almost as if youre doing unrealistic testing

[honest meadow]

how manyutimes r u falling over for that to be a problem????

[velvet pagoda]

What is the point of a helmet if it is not durable

[limber flame]

against two Systems with different use cases

[velvet pagoda]

Land on a sharp rock and your bump helmet has extra ventilation

[limber flame]

hes a bit slow so probably a lot

[elder anchor]

the amount of throws for either of them to break is unrealistic

stop being stupid

[limber flame]

bump helmets are rated for the same impacts as balistics

it just wont stop fragmentation

[velvet pagoda]

You guys are gonna come up with any reason to somehow cope that a NON BALLISTIC HELMET is better than a BALLISTIC HELMET

i dont want to even argue about that

[limber flame]

the only time a helmet will save you from a bullet is if its slowed by a wall or it ricochets

[honest meadow]

the height u would have to fall from to break a good bump open on a rock whislt wearing it would severly injure u no matter what helm ur wearing

[elder anchor]

bump helmets are designed to better protect against impacts and absorb bumps

better than ballistic helmets

[limber flame]

are you planned on facing explosives and fragmentation?

[elder anchor]

so id argue the ballistic helmet would break first

[limber flame]

if not
you dont need a balistic helm

[honest meadow]

its almost as if theyre designed to do that but he thinks otherwise ig

[velvet pagoda]

There is literally a story of a soldier falling out of a humvee and his helmet barely saved him from a sharp rock and that was ballistic

[elder anchor]

literally what i said

[limber flame]

what helmet

[velvet pagoda]

Probably ach

[limber flame]

what year

[elder anchor]

bump helmets would do that better]

[velvet pagoda]

Its just a story i heard idk all that

[limber flame]

so its a story

[elder anchor]

its a story.

[velvet pagoda]

Lmao you guys are coping so hard

[limber flame]

hearsay is quite the thing

my brother it is you who is coping

[elder anchor]

you literally just cited a story

youre an idiot

admit it

[honest meadow]

civilian use u dont rlly need a ballistic helm full stop

[limber flame]

you're*

[elder anchor]
