airsoft

[eternal abyss]

Yeah that’s what I mean

Usually is red here

Only has things I have are my pistols though

Hpa tapped my aap

[muted bloom]

yea i think the same thing applies to pistols as rifles

[eternal abyss]

Yeah unless you have a dmr type thing going on you want red normally

[muted bloom]

when cold enough, red and black gas perform like green gas does

i don't see why pistols would be any different

cause like, it's the same pressure, only a little different gas, not like it damages the pistol though

[eternal abyss]

Yeah

But black on a normal day here would probably just explode them

[muted bloom]

oh yea

i would not be using black anywhere in UK though

[eternal abyss]

Definitely not

[muted bloom]

it just does not get cold enough for that, black is for finnish winter type of cold

[eternal abyss]

Absolutely

[muted bloom]

like a normal finnish winter, not the killer frost we have rn

i don't think even black gas works now

[eternal abyss]

Wow

[muted bloom]

haven't tried, but the less cold parts of the country are atleast like -22 rn, some not so lucky people get to enjoy below -30 temps

and i know black gas does just fine on -18

but i could see it struggling with the current temps

[eternal abyss]

Glad I don’t have to worry about that

[muted bloom]

yea that's one of the few nice things about UK, y'all never have to worry about extreme weather

[eternal abyss]

Worse thing we get is rain and wind

[muted bloom]

well that is a bit everywhere

[eternal abyss]

True

Need to go again actually it’s been a while

[muted bloom]

rain is miserable but getting physically hurt just for existing outside is worse

[eternal abyss]

Gotta layer up

Then you can’t even feel the bbs

[muted bloom]

yeah, i do that

but it's more that the air you breathe is pretty damn cold

generally just, this type of winter is straight up unliveable

ice age type of stuff

[eternal abyss]

Didn’t even think of that

Doing it in snow seems quite fun though

[muted bloom]

it's fun

kinda

i mean you can't see your bbs

[eternal abyss]

What are fps limits like there?

[muted bloom]

and you can't run that fast

[eternal abyss]

Both true, I’d like to try it though one day

[muted bloom]

my field is 1.2J, most fields are 1.7J

because my field has some CQB areas

and generally the distances are pretty close

[eternal abyss]

Not sure what equates to fps wise

[muted bloom]

we don't measure fps

we measure joules

[eternal abyss]

Yeah

[muted bloom]

fps is meaningless, but joules tell how much it actually is gonna hurt

[eternal abyss]

My fields strange because the signs say chrono is fps with .2 bbs but then when you go in they ask what weight you need to do anyway so I think they go based on joules

Just old signs

They gotta update them

[muted bloom]

every field should measure joules

i could just have .40 bbs that go slow for a good reason and have them hurt like hell

but im not mean and im poor

[eternal abyss]

Ahaha

I genuinely can’t remember what my guns measure at

I should chrono them

But my sniper is on site limits

[muted bloom]

my both guns are around 1.1J

[eternal abyss]

Whenever I get round and be bothered to chrono I’ll let you know lol

[muted bloom]

snipers and DMRs obviously also have different limits

[eternal abyss]

Naturally

[muted bloom]

although they also have a MED

[eternal abyss]

A what

[muted bloom]

minimum engagement distance

no CQB with a sniper rifle

[eternal abyss]

Ah yeah same here

It’s 20m here

[muted bloom]

unless it goes below the AEG joules

[eternal abyss]

I assume that’s the case here but no one’s stupid enough to gimp their gun that much

[muted bloom]

let's say you are an absolute chad and use a ww2 kit and wanna do CQB with a mosin, just let the hosts know

[eternal abyss]

We do have one guy here that comes with a soviet kit

Has an rpg as well

I also get funny looks when I bring the pkm

[muted bloom]

i tried a pkm replica once

[eternal abyss]

It’s annoyingly heavy

[muted bloom]

they are crazy

yeah

although i have been actively lifting since then

[eternal abyss]

And the magazine latch catches on your kit so the box opens and tips bbs everywhere

It’s not bad for a few rounds but if you’re running it the entire day you’re in trouble

I definitely prefer lighter loadouts

[muted bloom]

same

[eternal abyss]

Like my sniper and aap

But it’s definitely comical to use the big one

[muted bloom]

i have a M653 replica i use mostly rn

has no rails and it's surprisingly light and well balanced for a steel receiver AR

[eternal abyss]

Very nice

I got the umarex 417

Aeg though

Guy before me (dads friend) made it fire stupid quick but it broke its own piston teeth

[muted bloom]

which company manufactured it

VFC?

[eternal abyss]

Umarex?

[muted bloom]

umarex does not do manufacturing

[eternal abyss]

I have no idea then

[muted bloom]

most of their better stuff is from VFC

but with some stuff, i have no idea either

[eternal abyss]

Either way, dropped an allow piston in, but it’s performance has dropped a lot

I gotta sort it out because it was a menace

Full strip down I’m thinking

Because it’s definitely hurting

Tempted to hpa it, or find someone who can, but don’t know if any kits fit in it

[muted bloom]

probably

you would be surprised what can be HPA'd

[eternal abyss]

I was gonna drop £1200+ on an hpa mp7 from France but they said they couldn’t ship to me

Which is a lie

Import laws literally let you buy them with the correct things

So I got a sniper instead

[muted bloom]

they probably don't want to mess with that stuff too much

it's often just simpler to say no

although im no expert

i've never really liked the mp7

i was not raised by battlefield 3, that's kinda what does it

[eternal abyss]

I wasn’t either tbh I’m just drawn to it

Red dot suppressor on it

God damn

Dream gun

[eternal abyss]

Yeah true, and the whole being french

Don’t tend to like us

Even if we are giving them stupid money

[muted bloom]

i don't think it's about that

[eternal abyss]

True

Was more of a joke anyway

[muted bloom]

oh yea, speaking of red dots, snow does wonders to them

[eternal abyss]

My friend got an mp5sd but it was kinda cheap and bad

[muted bloom]

if you have an open red dot, like the typical amazon style red dot, you can not use it during winters

[eternal abyss]

How come

[muted bloom]

you know it projects a reticle from the rear part of the sight

[eternal abyss]

Yeah

[muted bloom]

that thing will be covered in snow, ice and whatever else, constantly

and you can't see the reticle

really hard to clean too

you'll be licking your sight clean constantly

[eternal abyss]

Ahaha

Scope or irons only then

[muted bloom]

or just a tube

like any aimpoint or aimpoint clone

[eternal abyss]

I suppose so

[muted bloom]

vector optics maverick series is a good example

snow will not interfere it

[eternal abyss]

Ah yeah I see

I want to go more but usually have to go solo because my friends are useless

And poor and busy

[muted bloom]

i have a buddy i play with quite often, he is pretty good

he is busy often though

he is going to africa in a couple days

[eternal abyss]

Oh cool

I wish I had someone to go with reliably

[muted bloom]

he'll be there for like a couple months

so yea, not really reliably

[eternal abyss]

I have no problem speaking to people in game but back in the safe area it’s a bit boring and awkward

[muted bloom]

but sometimes, and it's certainly fun when he is around

[eternal abyss]

I mean I’m leaving in February for the air force so I’ll be quite busy then

[muted bloom]

i just talk to random people and stick with them for the day if im alone

[eternal abyss]

Yeah that’s what I do

The funny thing is the people that got me into it hardly go

[muted bloom]

it's funny that i otherwise have the social skills of the most basement dwelling incel this earth has seen but when im playing airsoft i always make friends super easily

[eternal abyss]

Ahahaha

That’s what the mask is I suppose

Just a funny army guy with other funny army guys

Dudes being dudes

[muted bloom]

yea really it's just that everyone there already has something in common

and you can always compliment someone's gun

[eternal abyss]

Exactly

Conversation is quite easy there

[muted bloom]

well not always, sometimes you see some pretty hideous shit

[eternal abyss]

Maybe in Finland but it’s pretty alright here

You know kicking mustang?

[honest meadow]

Idk you see alot of slop in the uk

Mtp amazon warriors

[eternal abyss]

Well yeah but that’s just how it is sometimes

Cheap camouflage

[muted bloom]

haven't seen him here yet

[eternal abyss]

Well you know of him which was my main question

[muted bloom]

but he might show up here once he is banned everywhere in US

[eternal abyss]

The place I go is his main place

The people who complain about him are just goofy

[muted bloom]

he's not banned from there?

[eternal abyss]

Nah

They like him

[muted bloom]

god help your poor soul

[eternal abyss]

Shits just funny

I’ve only been there when he has a few tomes

[honest meadow]

Ik someone who got welts after mustang mag dumped him in the side with his gbb mp5sd

Hes just a bit of a tit it seems

[eternal abyss]

He’s only ever been there with a sniper for me

[honest meadow]

Yea it was his sidearm

He got given it by a company for the vid i think

[muted bloom]

i don't watch his videos but i have seen a few of his schizo ramblings online and shit's hilarious

[eternal abyss]

Sometimes I think he’s a bit of a twat but other times it’s funny

[honest meadow]

I dont mind the headshots cause everyone there signed up to get shot

[eternal abyss]

exactly

If you have a sensitive head get a helmet

[honest meadow]

But its the blatant lying about cheaters in his vids and also him adding hit markers when he misses by a mile

[eternal abyss]

(Me with a helmet)

[honest meadow]

Ive never not run a helmet

[eternal abyss]

Some of the cheaters are obvious though

Like you clearly see the clothes move

[honest meadow]

Cause guess what i dint want to get shot in the head so i cover it

[muted bloom]

I use a fur hat during this season

[eternal abyss]

I used to get headshot all the time then when I get a helmet I’m never hit there

Tarkov logic

[muted bloom]

dude, get a ssh68

[honest meadow]

Yea but with him its like 70% not cheaters 30% they are

[muted bloom]

you will only get headshots

[eternal abyss]

Helmet, goggles and anti fog is the best thing I’ve ever bought kit wise

[honest meadow]

I wear a ushanka rn for my second chechen war vdv kit

[muted bloom]

and you will have your ears ring

[eternal abyss]

My friend has an old uk army metal helmet we just mag dump him

We hear him get shot the other side of the map because he just dings

[muted bloom]

be nice to him

[eternal abyss]

Ahaha

He’s one that doesn’t go anymore

The boring git

[muted bloom]

steel helmet gang does not have it easy

[eternal abyss]

Steel helmet gang does not have to be part of the gang

[honest meadow]

Penis helmet is drippy tho

[eternal abyss]

It was a choice

I like my current kit, want a lighter carrier that fits me though, was looking at novritchs

[muted bloom]

don't get the novritsch carrier

[honest meadow]

Just get a chestrig

[eternal abyss]

My current carrier was my dads mate who is large

[muted bloom]

please

[eternal abyss]

Or something of that sort then

[muted bloom]

just get something from TMC or something

[eternal abyss]

Well like I said I’m leaving in a month so I’m not buying anything now, but in the future sure

[honest meadow]

Get a emerson lbt1961r-a chestrig

[muted bloom]

I use a chest rig made out of an alice belt

[honest meadow]

You can fit everything you need for the day in it

[muted bloom]

it's minimalistic while being unnecessarily heavy, worst of both worlds

[eternal abyss]

Not as heavy as my current one trust me

Can’t remember what it is

[muted bloom]

i'm sure

[honest meadow]

My pantsir weighs about 5kg loaded with mags

[muted bloom]

yea mine certainly is not that heavy

[eternal abyss]

Really drains you a lot

[honest meadow]

Im getting some training plates tho

[muted bloom]

however for a small chest rig, it's still quite heavy

[eternal abyss]

Especially if I’m running the pkm

[honest meadow]

Nah not really mine distributes the weight very well

[eternal abyss]

Mine doesn’t fit well tbh

It’s too big for me

[honest meadow]

Yea

[eternal abyss]

I jump and the entire thing moves

But it was free

So whatever

[muted bloom]

it's got a pouch for team armbands, and 9 mags, nothing else

[honest meadow]

Once you have a nice fitting one its very comfortable to load up with some weight

[muted bloom]

however i only carry 6, the rest are for storing a bunch of stuff

[eternal abyss]

Yeah one day I’ll look into them

I have 4 7.62 mag pouches

[stark ice]

yooooo sup

[eternal abyss]

And a radio pouch I put my pistol mags in

[river bison]

One of my setups I ran 10 Scar H mags lol

[honest meadow]

Little dated but this is my main loadout rn

[river bison]

GBB Scar H mags rather

[eternal abyss]

And a dump pouch and hpa tank holder at the back

[honest meadow]

Acc very dated

[stark ice]

6 AK mags + 1 loaded

[honest meadow]

Need to do another one

[eternal abyss]

I don’t have any loadout pictures

[muted bloom]

me neither

[stark ice]

loadout pics are overrated

[muted bloom]

but for my chest rig, just imagine a chicom that's sweating freedom

[river bison]

AOR1 loadout

[honest meadow]

This is the most up to date

[eternal abyss]

Where are you from?

[river bison]

US

[eternal abyss]

No funny orange tips?

[river bison]

No? Lol

[stark ice]

only few states require orange tip

[eternal abyss]

Oh right

My bad

[river bison]

No orange tips here

[honest meadow]

Im tryna find a nice chestrig for my aor1 what do u got

[stark ice]

if i had to use orange tip i would never play airsoft

[eternal abyss]

I was not aware it was state based

[river bison]

Emerson had the velocity rig in AOR1

[honest meadow]

Its like here with the ukara

Something no one really follows

Grey area

[river bison]

Or get a LBT aor1 rig

[eternal abyss]

Technically you only need the ukara to buy them stock from online or stores

Or that’s what it’s used for anyway

[honest meadow]

I were looking at them but i want smth that i can run mp7 mags in aswell as ar

[river bison]

Uhh get the spiritus style micro rig then in AOR1

[honest meadow]

I think the pouches on the lbt are a bit to big and theyd flop around

[eternal abyss]

What site do you go to?

[river bison]

Since they sell MP7 inserts

[honest meadow]

Dirty dog

[eternal abyss]

God I wish I had an mp7

Where’s that at

[honest meadow]

Shildon

[stark ice]

u can buy mp7 mag pouches on aliexpress

[muted bloom]

i will never take micro rigs seriously

[eternal abyss]

Got no idea where that is lmao

[stark ice]

only gbb is best, aeg not fun.

[muted bloom]

they are the diet coke of tactical gear

[honest meadow]

Left of middlesborough

[eternal abyss]

I don’t mind either

[eternal abyss]

Ahh right

[muted bloom]

you never see someone not fat wearing a micro rig

[stark ice]

gbb mp7 was best thing i ever bought

[eternal abyss]

Only ever been to Phoenix because I’m like 20 mins away so it’s easy

[eternal abyss]

Was looking at an hpa mp7 but they wouldn’t ship it

[river bison]

A lot of MP7 mags lmao

[stark ice]

i hate hpa cuz where we play the tank is just gonna be in the way

[stark ice]

what pouches, need some.

[eternal abyss]

What type of environment is it?

[stark ice]

dense mountain forest

[eternal abyss]

I play in a forest it’s not bad

[river bison]

Emerson MP7

[stark ice]

ye but im in Norway, forest we play in is more rough.

[honest meadow]

Dont run a stupid long line

[eternal abyss]

True I suppose

[honest meadow]

If you keep it short itll be fine

[stark ice]

its like hell to play in Norwegian forest

[eternal abyss]

I have long arms so I needed to get a longer line for when I was using my aap with it

[river bison]

Also got rid of the eotech and switched to an T1 style red dot on the GBRS riser

[eternal abyss]

What in the holy hell have you done to that mp7

[muted bloom]

it looks pretty though

[stark ice]

looks so goofy with that rised red dot

[honest meadow]

Sandman on the mp7 acc kinda fits nice

[stark ice]

its worse than it look

[eternal abyss]

Are all Europeans nocturnal or something why are we up

[river bison]

I use night vision

[stark ice]

easy to mess up ur ankles, u have to climb up and down a lot with heavy ass kit, crawl, lay down and stuff a lot.

[river bison]

That’s what the riser is for bro

[stark ice]

digital?

[river bison]

Hell no lol

[muted bloom]

yeah

[river bison]

I’m in the US lmao

[muted bloom]

false

you are also a nocturnal european

[eternal abyss]

I’m aware

[muted bloom]

you are being tricked that you are in US and it's a day

[stark ice]

sick

[eternal abyss]

I’m trying to fix it however I am now in an airsoft conversation

[stark ice]

what u fixing

[eternal abyss]

My sleep schedule

But it’s 4am

[stark ice]

xd

[river bison]

The hydra is really for small guns with little to no rail space

[stark ice]

mine is broken, its 5AM for me. i sleep at like 9 AM

[muted bloom]

6am here

unfortunate but it is what it is

i will fix it though

[river bison]

I

I put it on my Sigs as well

[stark ice]

nice

[eternal abyss]

It’s hard to take seriously

Ots cool but funny

[muted bloom]

not particularly fond of sig but i do see the appeal of those guns

[stark ice]

btw any of u know cheap stuff i can put on my mp7 to make it cooler? i already have a suppressor and shitty red dot.

but i need it to be cooler

[river bison]

This Noveske as well

[eternal abyss]

Just cover it in tape you’ll be so cool

[stark ice]

nah

[muted bloom]

full size maglite

[eternal abyss]

Drum mag

[stark ice]

i might put tape on pistol grip tho

[stark ice]

i dont think there is drum mags for TM GBB MP7

[eternal abyss]

My favourite pain the ass

[eternal abyss]

Probably not

[stark ice]

idk why i hate pistols like that

just the way they look

[eternal abyss]

They’re not for everyone

[stark ice]

ye

[eternal abyss]

But it’s modded and does the funny brr

[stark ice]

my friend let me try one once and it was alr but i just dont like the looks

[eternal abyss]

But the hop and barrel is stock so it’s the funny brr at close range

So that’s another thing I gotta work on

The long long list

[stark ice]

we're not allowed to brrr under 15mm :(

[eternal abyss]

What do you mean

[stark ice]

we cant use full auto under 15 m

[eternal abyss]

Oh

That’s sad

[stark ice]

ye

[eternal abyss]

I have the funny drum mag and run it hpa

[muted bloom]

on my field, you can use in in the woods, but not cqb area

[eternal abyss]

Absolutely deleted a guy in a bush like 5m away

[muted bloom]

practically though everyone fires in semi regardless

[eternal abyss]

We have the classic no full auto in the building

[stark ice]

only noobs use full auto here tho, everone always uses semi.

bb's aren't cheap here.

[eternal abyss]

That’s the comedy mag

I have infinite .20’s because accidentally bulk buying two boxes

[muted bloom]

i'd totally use full auto everywhere if i could

[stark ice]

lol

[eternal abyss]

So I just run that and the pkm on .20’s and just remove people

[muted bloom]

my guns don't fire that fast and they don't hurt that much so it does not matter too much

[stark ice]

i only like full auto on gbbr's

i dont full auto aeg's

[muted bloom]

just squeezing the triggers rapidly with mittens is not that fun

[eternal abyss]

I have a deagle, Glock and a makarov as well

[muted bloom]

makarovs are cool

[eternal abyss]

Don’t have a holster for the makarov and can’t find one

[stark ice]

i had a deagle but i sold it to my friend and he broke it xd

[eternal abyss]

It has the suppressor with it as well, and the inner barrel for it

[muted bloom]

i have a makarov holster

[eternal abyss]

Holster but no makarov

[muted bloom]

to promise myself i will get a makarov at some point

[river bison]

This is my back up when I run this

[eternal abyss]

The deagle holster was too expensive though

Like £35

[muted bloom]

damn

[eternal abyss]

You got a lot of stuff don’t you

[stark ice]

u can buy one from taiwangun for cheap but shipping is expensive

[river bison]

yup I have specific tastes lol

[eternal abyss]

Yeah I bought my aap parts from Taiwan and got boned

But passion isn’t cheap

[river bison]

I build alot of guns also always HPA

[muted bloom]

i'm surprised there is one

[eternal abyss]

It’s the kydex one with the eagle on it

[eternal abyss]

Been thinking of making my 417 hpa but don’t know how expensive or possible it is

[river bison]

The older 417 will be a nightmare

[eternal abyss]

Or even worth it

[stark ice]

gbb or aeg?

[eternal abyss]

It’s the aeg one

[river bison]

The M110A1 uses a V2 rather than the V2.5 Long gearbox

[stark ice]

u can buy a polarstar then i guess

[eternal abyss]

And I have no idea if it’s “the older one”

[river bison]

The ETU for it is always sold out too

[eternal abyss]

It’s had its internals messed with so I have no idea what it has going on

And I have no experience with hpa engines

[river bison]

I just finished this too, took me a week to get right

[eternal abyss]

My only hpa ability is tapping a mag

[stark ice]

interesting build

[eternal abyss]

I like augs but the bullpup factor always puts me off

[river bison]

Also a P90 2 weeks ago

[stark ice]

i love augs too and bullpup guns

[eternal abyss]

How many do you have god damn

[stark ice]

i really want to get an MDR-X but its expensive

[river bison]

I have way too much and it’s going to get worse lol

[eternal abyss]

I have the privilege of getting to use an l85 at some point

My excitement cannot be contained

[stark ice]

my friend wants to buy EBB L85

[eternal abyss]

(Yes it can)

I really don’t like the gun

Why can’t we be normal and have an ar platform

[river bison]

This one is an uncommon one to HPA, super problematic because it had an ares gearbox

[stark ice]

tf is that

[river bison]

B&T APC9K

[stark ice]

a

[eternal abyss]

So when you hpa do you keep the gearbox in?

Or what how’s it work

[river bison]

the newest sub machine gun of the US Army

[stark ice]

think so

u put the HPA conversion in the gearbox if im correct

[river bison]

You strip the gearbox and you insert the engine in the gearbox

[stark ice]

and make a hole for the tube to run though

[eternal abyss]

I’d have to ask what gearbox it has then or have a look myself

[stark ice]

u probably have some V2 gearbox

[eternal abyss]

I think he completely changed it

So god knows what it is

[stark ice]

it must be a V2 gearbox

[river bison]

Scar SC

[eternal abyss]

Thought they had a 2.5 or something?

[stark ice]

bro just flexing his whole stash

[river bison]

PDW version of the beloved Scar 16

[eternal abyss]

Bro has the gun room

[stark ice]

idk anything about 2.5

[stark ice]

he is the gun

[eternal abyss]

John gun

We found him

[river bison]

If you guys are trying to get into HPA just get an MTW lol

Best OOB HPA gun

[stark ice]

never getting HPA unless the terrain here becomes magically flat

or we get indoor field

[river bison]

Why

HPA’s shine outside

[stark ice]

tank is gonna be in the way cuz of my playstyle

[eternal abyss]

I might’ve saw them at some point while looking, I’ll keep it noted for the future

[stark ice]

and ofc it counts as hitbox

ppl could easily shoot the tank when im in cover

[eternal abyss]

Is your playstyle laying on your back?

[river bison]

My tank is on my back panel

[stark ice]

no but sometimes i have to lay on my back

[river bison]

So it never bothers me

[stark ice]

at least once per game, depends where i am and what i can do.

[eternal abyss]

I think back is the universal tank placement

[stark ice]

only HPA i would run is the one M4 that can have the tank in the stock

i forgot the brand

[eternal abyss]

God damn these mtw’s ain’t cheap are they

It’s not too bad though

[river bison]

These are MTW’s

[river bison]

They have a PCC version and an AR

PCC takes scorpion evo mags

[stark ice]

what sight is that on the AR

[eternal abyss]

I do like them

[river bison]

Which one

[eternal abyss]

But I do want an mp7 and my 417 to actually be good

[stark ice]

the M4 looking gun

u have a holo

[river bison]

UH-1 gen 2

[stark ice]

real one?

[river bison]

Yup

[stark ice]

damn

[eternal abyss]

No protector?

[stark ice]

bro's rich

[stark ice]

real ones can handle bb's

[eternal abyss]

Cqb stuff I wouldn’t wanna risk it anyway

[river bison]

Vortex warranty just replaces it

For BB strikes

[eternal abyss]

Easy then

[stark ice]

even my fake red dot can take bb's in the glas

glass*

[eternal abyss]

Got a protector for my scope and it’s got a few dinks in it

[stark ice]

i do run a protector tho cuz i dont wanna buy new one if it does break

[eternal abyss]

But that’s when I wasn’t running it on my sniper

[river bison]

I’m working on getting this shit working again

[eternal abyss]

Big fan of that one

[river bison]

The knocker spring died so I have to order it

[eternal abyss]

This gotta be your job surely

[river bison]

Nah

My day job is in the Army lol

[eternal abyss]

Figures

Explains the nvgs

[stark ice]

ya'll get nvg's for free in the army?

[eternal abyss]

Christmas present

[stark ice]

lol

[river bison]

Sadly no

[stark ice]

a

[river bison]

I have issued NVG’s and my personal one

[eternal abyss]

Fair enough

The link between the army (and branches) tarkov and airsoft is quite common in discovering

[river bison]

Next game day

[stark ice]

heavy ass gun

[river bison]

Not really heavy but it does consume alot of air and BB’s since it has a polarstar F2 on it

[eternal abyss]

Damn

What size tank do you run

[stark ice]

how much does it weigh

[stark ice]

sick

[river bison]

I carry dual 48ci 3000psi

[river bison]

About 11 lbs

[eternal abyss]

Jeez the guns need the sauce I guess

[stark ice]

damn thats not that heavy

my ak weight around 8.8 lbs

[eternal abyss]

I don’t even know for mine

[river bison]

I run and gun with this normally

Especially in milsims

I legit have to carry a lot of tanks

During games

[eternal abyss]

No where to fill up at the site?

[stark ice]

never play a milsim yet sadly

[river bison]

Some sites have no fill stations

Sadly

So I fill them at home

[eternal abyss]

Ahh

Luckily mine has a free one

When it works

[stark ice]

cant u bring one with u?

[river bison]

These ones you can hook it up to a car battery

Which is super nice

[stark ice]

a

[eternal abyss]

Can start charging other people to fill up

Side hustle

[stark ice]

how many guns do u own

[eternal abyss]

Never know how to feel about the scar stocks

[river bison]

Lost count

Left one is HPA And the right is GBB

[stark ice]

i kinda like thim

them*

[river bison]

I got way too much mags lol

[eternal abyss]

Just a few

[stark ice]

i was gonna buy a GBBR Scar but it was from a shitty brand

[river bison]

I have the VFC

[eternal abyss]

Where could I tell who made it

On my 417

[river bison]

Show me, normally HK guns are only made by VFC

Since they have the license

[eternal abyss]

Not entirely sure if that’s possible right now

[river bison]

E&C makes bootleg versions of it

[eternal abyss]

It would be rather loud to get out and the family would question my sanity

I might have a side on picture somewhere

[stark ice]

loud?

[river bison]

Do you remember what color the box was

[stark ice]

where the hell do u keep it

[eternal abyss]

I didn’t get it from the box

Dads friend

Got it off him

I’ll look for a picture

[river bison]

It’s definitely most likely gonna be VFC

HK gang

[stark ice]

my friend would nut when he sees those

he loves hk's

especially 417

[eternal abyss]

That’s as good as I’ve got unless I get it now

It’s full metal umarex so probably vfc

[stark ice]

ye

[eternal abyss]

Put a suppressor on it now though

[stark ice]

idk how to feel about those mags, they look big.

[eternal abyss]

But I lost the little charging handle latch

That goes inside the charging handle

And also the bolt is funny and the bolt release doesn’t work

Needs stripping and some love

[stark ice]

not bad as my ak problems

[eternal abyss]

I’ll get round to it at some point

[stark ice]

that gun was a shit show when i got it

[eternal abyss]

Ahaha

My pkm trigger sticks on sometimes so the overkill accusations rack up sometimes

[stark ice]

spent like 300$ on fixing, could have bought new ak but it was good learning experience on fixing it up.

[eternal abyss]

All about experience

My snipers a tac41a

Swapped the spring the first time and it was still under what I wanted

[river bison]

Yup VFC

[stark ice]

my friend has a crazy tac41

[eternal abyss]

Got another spring and some spacers im at site limits

[river bison]

417’s are kinda rare now

[eternal abyss]

It’s the tac41 in my profile picture

[stark ice]

sick

[river bison]

The M110A1 just got released recently tho but I can’t call it a 417 like that

[eternal abyss]

I really like the 417

[river bison]

Even though it is

[eternal abyss]

Yeah I get it

I really want to fix it up and make it run perfectly

Feel like it deserves it

[stark ice]

my old ak build
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1003402535853359197/1149092641775034388/DSC_0166.png?ex=659f0aea&is=658c95ea&hm=4a58efe7b64cad58512af0a2ab1174352d7786e8292e8064f6e658726967f8ac&

[river bison]

Definitely it’s a rare piece now lol

[eternal abyss]

But it definitely needs an entire tear down and maybe new parts

[river bison]

Funny enough

[eternal abyss]

Something I really don’t have the time or money for right now

[river bison]

This is my go to long boy

For actual “sniping”

[eternal abyss]

Boutta say

That’s a long boy

[river bison]

It’s basically a recce rifle turned SPR

[eternal abyss]

Nice

My sniper has a pretty short barrel

[stark ice]

another old pic
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/923935194262679572/1158746838950756475/20231003_144506.jpg?ex=65a67a96&is=65940596&hm=1da970dc16787370cbbb5940a339a2fa6c8f921927ca0eae20035cb83ea75890&

[eternal abyss]

Because it’s the “tactical version” of the tac

[river bison]

I think an AUg can fill that role too

[eternal abyss]

But let me say, the mags are awfully designed

I hate them

[stark ice]

shit i miss the lpvo, sold it to my friend and he won't sell it back to me :(

[river bison]

I forgot the AUG has a super inner barrel

Lol

[eternal abyss]

I’m surprised no one’s ever said on forums or anything how bad the mags are designed

[river bison]

The full size A3 might as well be a DMR

[eternal abyss]

You catch the mag wrong and all the bbs spring out

It’s terrible

But 110 rnds for a sniper mag is amazing

I just can’t bring an extra because it catches on my kit and ejects expensive bbs

[stark ice]

lol

[eternal abyss]

Bullpup baby

[stark ice]

i want this soooo badly https://www.silverback-airsoft.com/aeg-02

the gearbox looks insane too

[eternal abyss]

Ah yeah that’s nice

[eternal abyss]

My tac is silverback

Good oob performance on it

[river bison]

What’s funny is this started as a M27 IAR which is a LMG

Turned it into a M38

[eternal abyss]

Just gotta inform the atf they’re airsoft weapons

[river bison]

Fucking marines tried to turn the M27 into a LMG

That’s why it’s a thing

[eternal abyss]

Oorah

If it shoots it becomes an lmg at some point

People always look for a way to overcomplicate things and make them shoot more bullets

[stark ice]

found latest pic of my ak https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/432933357744029706/1183184272312500338/20231210_001054.jpg?ex=65a318b9&is=6590a3b9&hm=04a18f323e48b73074f00a330ef663a62a048a4e80d62e389cd55f4b613b9a12&

[eternal abyss]

Think I’d prefer the polymer mags

[river bison]

I sold this awhile back

It’s an LCT

I got sick of it

I wanted a shorter barrel

[stark ice]

1 thing that fucked up my whole ak https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/963948856008114270/1166404122380095539/20231024_175311.jpg?ex=65a6a67d&is=6594317d&hm=50d2e02ebc111cda0f3cfa6e031b934f26d0dca064779d551f6b53a181cbb0ff&

[river bison]

Rather than a full size 74

Rip

[stark ice]

worst part im getting a new crack in same place again

but its not bad rn

[river bison]

Is it a Cyma

[eternal abyss]

Clearly something is breaking it

[stark ice]

its everything

[eternal abyss]

Cyma balls

My bad

Had to

[river bison]

I saw someone’s Cyma M14 EBR develop cracks

[stark ice]

this ak has parts from a lot of different brands

cant really tell what brand it is

[river bison]

I think it’s just the metal used

[eternal abyss]

The frankenak

[stark ice]

ye

ppl at my local field call it the cursed ak

[eternal abyss]

Yeah shit metal isn’t exactly brilliant on stressed locations

[stark ice]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/432933357744029706/1164925513903648828/Snapchat-1547910406.jpg?ex=65a1456d&is=658ed06d&hm=3aa7f2c0d504b1d1167c6b059993623eb6a6ee65b06789470c152e1ad5fef3d5&

[eternal abyss]

Wow

[river bison]

My coworker had the coolest M14

[stark ice]

i wanted to use it in a game but my friend had to borrow some ak mags :(

[eternal abyss]

I shouldn’t have entered this channel because now I just wanna spend money

Most complex thing I’ve engineered was doing all my aap parts, the trigger was a nightmare and the mag release wasn’t exactly fun

[stark ice]

lol

[eternal abyss]

But it’s so good because of it

Trigger is so snappy

[stark ice]

i might buy this mf and once it breaks i swap all internals to good shit https://www.taiwangun.com/assault-rifle-aeg/cm-650b-mosfet-edition-black-cyma-3

[eternal abyss]

I normally run a mesh mask but when I’m sniping I take it off so I can aim a bit better and I’m far enough away where I’m pretty safe from my teeth exploding

[stark ice]

i was thinking about a MK47 from DE but i dont like how short it is

[eternal abyss]

Because the amount of people who have bbs stuck in their face or teeth shot out is crazy

I can’t really advise on guns I’m not very informed

[stark ice]

i hate using meshmask but dont want to pay thousands in fixing them cuz of a stupid bb

[eternal abyss]

It’s not an entire face thing

Just mouth

[stark ice]

i use normal meshmask that i attached to my goggles

i want to buy a balaclava with mesh insert tho

[eternal abyss]

I just have the one Tigris mesh face under it usually

[river bison]

I am eyeing this but fucking ASG only released it in the UK and EU iirc so I gotta get it from Hong Kong

[stark ice]

sick

[eternal abyss]

My goggles were tinted yellow because I didn’t realise there was a film on the inside 💀

[stark ice]

xd

mexico filter

[eternal abyss]

Fr

[eternal abyss]

+$500 import

[stark ice]

my friend uses orange tinted glasses and its some real mexico shit when i put them on

[eternal abyss]

But the antifog was one of the best things I’ve bought

Because before I had mesh because my hot ass head would steam everything up no matter what

[stark ice]

i put soap water and it works for 1 game, reapply it between games.

[river bison]

Ain’t that the truth

[eternal abyss]

But I didn’t want blinding from shrapnel

[stark ice]

antifog sprays are scams

all u have to do is use soap water

[eternal abyss]

Tell me about it, import fees from Hong Kong for only parts was like £45

[eternal abyss]

My head will disagree

No matter what it will steam it up

But that constant air flow works wonders

I love it

And it looks cool

[stark ice]

dam n

[eternal abyss]

Plus the goggles have a fog coating on anyway

[stark ice]

i do have good af airflow tho but i still need to apply soap water to keep it fog free

it adds a layer that will prevent fogging

[eternal abyss]

That is the best picture of me though even I do have the Mexico filter on

The battery life on the machine is good too

I set it to lowest the whole game I never fog up

Lasts the whole day

[stark ice]

u use novritch antifog unit?

[eternal abyss]

Yeah

[stark ice]

damn

[eternal abyss]

And the goggles

[stark ice]

they dont allow shipping it to Norway

[eternal abyss]

Say what you will about novritch but it works for me

[eternal abyss]

The antifog? How come

[stark ice]

idfk

[eternal abyss]

That’s crazy

[stark ice]

1 guy tried to order and it had to be canceled cuz of something

[eternal abyss]

Ain’t like it’s a gun

[stark ice]

ye

[eternal abyss]

Really odd

[stark ice]

bro my friend wasn't allowed to order airsoft parts cuz he isn't 18 xd

his dad had to claim the package from toll shit

[eternal abyss]

Hahaha

Damn

[stark ice]

it wasn't even a gun in there

just a gearbox and few parts for me

[eternal abyss]

I’m mad I can’t put my suppressor on my sniper

Wrong thread

And I can’t find adaptors anywhere

[stark ice]

isn't it 14mm?

[pliant rapids]

That feeling when you spend all your money on a replica but then see another replica that you want

[stark ice]

i can ask my friend, he uses tac14 with suppressor

[eternal abyss]

It’s 24mm I think

Big outer thread

If you look on the picture the end of the barrel is a thread cap

[eternal abyss]

Get both easy

[stark ice]

fr

i want to buy Cyma and DE MK47 and i might buy both cuz i like both

but the DE mk47 would need few modifications cuz it doesn't have a sling mount

[eternal abyss]

I’m broke as shit

[stark ice]

i try to save up and buy stuff i want

[eternal abyss]

Bought new wheels for my car and war thunder packs 💀

[stark ice]

dude war thunder shit expensive

[eternal abyss]

Oh same I save but I’m post buying what I want

[stark ice]

could have bought a nice replica

[eternal abyss]

So I’m back to saving

Ain’t getting no nice replicas for a few hundred

[stark ice]

u can always buy something cheap and nice looking and upgrade it one day

thats what im gonna do with cyma mk47

[eternal abyss]

There’s nothing I want right now anyway that isn’t massively expensive

[stark ice]

there is a lot stuff i want to buy

but im broke af :(

[eternal abyss]

I feel that

[river bison]

It be like that sometimes

[eternal abyss]

But I start “work” next month so money time

At the cost of hardly any free time

[rapid wolf]

thoughts on cyma plat mk18 vs cybergun/vfc mk18?

also considering an mcx

[river bison]

MCX looks cooler

Cyma play MK18 is slightly better than the cybergun MK18

Best MK18 in the market atm is the VFC Avalon MK18

[frank epoch]

anyone has any recommendations for a pistol grip for a cm.520 cyma?

i don't like the feel of the factory one

[stark ice]

https://www.silverback-airsoft.com/sil-04

[stark ice]

i really like the replica of Zenitco RK3 grip

this is the one i got, u might have to do some stuff to make it fit but its really nice once installed https://www.ehobbyasia.com/products/asura-dynamics-rk-3-ak-pistol-grip-for-aeg

its a bit bigger than the one u have tho

[frank epoch]

don't think that's a problem

but thanksss

[stark ice]

np

here is cool ass pic of my ak with the grip on https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/432933357744029706/1183184272312500338/20231210_001054.jpg?ex=65a318b9&is=6590a3b9&hm=04a18f323e48b73074f00a330ef663a62a048a4e80d62e389cd55f4b613b9a12&

[frank epoch]

ohhh I love the white combo

[stark ice]

ye i like it but sadly didnt get to use my ak in snow yet :(
our local airsoft club is getting shit on by the state cuz we dont use good enough bio bb's

other fields are few hours away

[frank epoch]

I don't even have fields in Poland lmao

I only play with my friend from time to time

[stark ice]

i was gonna go to a milsim in Poland but its gonna be kinda expensive to travel

they have really good fields

[frank epoch]

where I live there's no airsoft, there are Facebook groups but no actual arenas

[stark ice]

if i could i would travel hours to an airsoft field just to play, i haven't played in 2 months cuz we're not allowed to play until the bb situation gets sorted out

i think 9 hour train to other airsoft fields here

actually idfk

[frank epoch]

I'd need to go to another city probably, and that's not only a money problem, also a transport problem

[stark ice]

9 hours 30 min with a train ye

slow ass train, even with car its faster xd.

shit i wish i could afford to travel and play on new fields

maybe i'll get my friend to join me and we can take his car there

[frank epoch]

I'll need to find more people with airsoft

[cobalt pulsar]

Guhhh

I can't figure out how to place the b-11 short handguard from begadi onto the cm.045

[lethal wave]

Rate da kit

And yes Ik i need a new holster

[frank epoch]

anyone knows what "LCT" and "GHK" Ak series means?

also @stark ice I think I found an arena, this arena is located on the territory of an old German nitro glicerin factory

[stark ice]

its brands

LCT has really good body but shit internals. GHK makes only GBBR ak's but i wouldn't recommend them cuz VFC will release a better one soon.

[stark ice]

if u would play in germany then u need to transport the guns in a hard case

[frank epoch]

no Poland

it's in my city

[stark ice]

tf is german factory doing in poland

[frank epoch]

ww2 boom boom

[stark ice]

a

[frank epoch]

nitro glicerin the thing that is very aggressive

and explosive

[stark ice]

this?

[frank epoch]

nah

lemme find it rq

this

it's in "Bydgoszcz"

shit hole here but good enough for a city

[stark ice]

found a pic of guys playing airsoft there

[frank epoch]

yeah it's the arena part

the museum part is different tho

[cobalt pulsar]

What do I do if I can't lock my b-11 handguard down on the cm.045

It's like 1mm away from me being able to lock it down but I can't get it to lock down

[stark ice]

show

[river bison]

You might have to dremel off some material

I find that it’s super common when installing zenitco handguards and shit

[cobalt pulsar]

It's the begadi b-11

I think it should be able to fit

[stark ice]

not everything fits on everything

[river bison]

If it’s that close just take some material off

[stark ice]

and since its a replica of zenitco it can be inaccurate size and not fit some of the replicas

[river bison]

Or you might have to bust out the rubber mallet

[cobalt pulsar]

Bruh I can't

Ion got no tools to do so

[stark ice]

how tf u even mount that shit

[river bison]

Not even a file?

[cobalt pulsar]

It's like very close to me being able to lock it down

[cobalt pulsar]

Nah

[stark ice]

longer screws? idfk

my brain is trying to think how this thing works

[cobalt pulsar]

This is what the translated begadi description says

It leaves me befuddled though.

It is also pretty much the same length as my stock aks74u handguard

[cobalt pulsar]

Like exactly the same length

[stark ice]

not everything fits the same on airsoft

even tho it might look like it fits

always need to do some adjustment

[cobalt pulsar]

I know that

[river bison]

You are gonna need to get some tools man

[stark ice]

buy a cheap file or something

it should do the job

[cobalt pulsar]

Idek where I would have to file off stuff

[stark ice]

"at the rear of the height of rear sight block"

the translation kinda confusing or my brain not working

[cobalt pulsar]

The handguard also came with these things

I tried both

And without

Still didn't work

Ig imma have to ask my dad to help

He has some tools

[honest meadow]

If these fit into the reciever they arent the problem

The rail should sit flush with the reciever

[cobalt pulsar]

Flush?

[cobalt pulsar]

@stark ice So I have been filing for a while now and it almost fits

But the problem is well if I file ofc the paint is gonna come off aswell

Can I just use a normal spraypaint or do I have to get a special one

[honest meadow]

There should be little to no gap between the reciever and handguard

[honest meadow]

Where are you filing it?

Show a pic

[cobalt pulsar]

No my problem is

It wont fit

It's too long

So I can't lock the handguard in place

[stark ice]

if u use normal spraypaint then sand down the metal a bit

if u use gun pain then ur good

just make sure u can use the spraypaint on metal

[cobalt pulsar]

Very close to it being able to fit

[honest meadow]

just sand down the front

but it doesnt matter when the handguard is on where you file on the front of it you cant see

[cobalt pulsar]

I am

[cobalt pulsar]

No like

Theres this level

And I can only put it up and lock the handguard when it reaches a specific point

And the handguard being too long wont let me get to that point

So im sanding down the front rn

[honest meadow]

ik and im saying that once it fits

the place that you have filed wont be visible to you

so you dont need to paint it

[cobalt pulsar]

Ah

Cool

[eternal abyss]

yeah ive seen those but i'd prefer an adaptor so i can use my current one

dont think there are any though

[cobalt pulsar]

https://www.taiwangun.com/midcap-magazine-aeg/200rd-mid-cap-magazine-for-ak74-series-black-cyma

I bought 3 of these mags

And I tried them

And for some reason all of them struggle feeding properly

Like I put them in my gun and try to shoot and they kinda just tumble out of the barrel at very very slow speeds

sometimes 1 and sometimes multiple

It's only with these ones aswell, the one that came with my gun works fine

[honest meadow]

probably cause its a 200 round midcap the spring is too strong and is trying to force more than one bb in the hop chamber at once causing the airseal to be trash

[cobalt pulsar]

Hm

That sucks

Is there any way to fix it?

Also how often do I have to charge my battery if I wanna store it?

My friend told me 2-3 days

[honest meadow]

i just leave my batterys until the day before i play then charge them

[cobalt pulsar]

Do you think I should invest in a better charger?

I got one of those compact cheap chargers rn

[honest meadow]

get a smart balance charger if you dont have one

[cobalt pulsar]

Didn't have enough money for a better one

[frank epoch]

I have those mags and I hate this

[smoky thunder]

Just for future reference, it’s pretty common to have to hand-fit parts for AKs and their airsoft replicas

Sadly the platform isn’t as plug-and-play as others

[old latch]

No affront but your friend has no clue. Afaik LiPos enjoy about 3.85V/cell for storage, that's a lot less than a fresh charge.
A better charger with a discharge function is very useful to bring batteries to a storage voltage

[cobalt pulsar]

Idk what any of that means

[old latch]

Don't charge your batteries before game day. Don't for the love of your wallet keep them charged like your friend said.
(Edit: charge them before use of course, just not much before you actually wanna use them)

If you want to keep the battery good, get a good charger like an IMAX B6 and use the storage program to bring them to optimal charge level for storage.

[cobalt pulsar]

Idk how to discharge them

I don't have a fancy charger

[cobalt pulsar]

I don't think I am gonna be able to sand down this b-11 to fit by hand

Guess i'll ask my dad for help tmrw

He has sum machines

[old latch]

Without a fancy charger, you can't. Your only way then is to use it and not charge it after

[glacial sparrow]

We usually charge our batteries the night before we play

[languid ginkgo]

Rusfor gang gang

[verbal wave]

FSB chad, my patches and nazgul still need to arrive

I want a gorka too, but that's a bit too hot for my climate zone

I'm doing an ATACS-FG Loadout

[languid ginkgo]

Been through a few different kits in my time

[verbal wave]

Partizan?

[stark ice]

samurai armor

[verbal wave]

Looks amazing, I love those guns too

I only have one ak, 74M

[languid ginkgo]

Yessir

[verbal wave]

I would die with one of those during a game 😅

Too hot here

[languid ginkgo]

Thanks man! This is my fav kit

[languid ginkgo]

It was around 32 Celsius on that particular day

[verbal wave]

Holy damn

Man's ballz were steam cooking 😆

[languid ginkgo]

Aye, wearing 50kg of kit was in hindsight, not the best plan

[verbal wave]

Mix mash of camos

Dpm, m81, Multicam black

Scav but level 100 type shit

[languid ginkgo]

Got russian infantry too

[verbal wave]

That's amazing, I got some Digi EMR stuff too, but only pants and uniform

Also that second pic 😂

[languid ginkgo]

Digiflora is great, I just got bored

FSB stuff has so many more options

[verbal wave]

So many combos yeah, black, atacs, multicam

Fits virtually any plate carrier almost
