that's a belt kinda thing

static monolith
#

I actually bought a 16oz nalgene that fits perfectly in a spud pouch

static monolith
gritty rampart
#

could alway go and spend like $300+ on a real GMR Minimap. That Idogear is a Minimap Repro

glacial sparrow
#

half of the shit on my belt is mounted with velcro

gritty rampart
#

clean belt setup

static monolith
#

nice

gritty rampart
#

@static monolith u want me to send u pictures of that idogear thing if u want a better look at it

glacial sparrow
#

just cop this and stick a 100oz bladder in it

#

it'll future proof too cause that's plenty for longer events and milsims

#

That or get a qore ice plate

gritty rampart
#

if your going solely for hydration get this

glacial sparrow
#

you don't need a back panel for airshit

#

adds unnecessary bulk

gritty rampart
glacial sparrow
#

But if you really insist then get a flatpack with a bladder spot

#

haley strategic makes one i think

glacial sparrow
gritty rampart
glacial sparrow
#

you also don't need a backpack for that

gritty rampart
#

yea i agree

glacial sparrow
#

You can toss an hpa tank into a crossbody bag or something

#

or even a gp pouch on your back

gritty rampart
#

yea but repro minimap looks cooler

glacial sparrow
#

disagree, it's repro

gritty rampart
#

would get a real minimap if they weren't $400

#

also repro is fine for airsoft

smoky thunder
#

Repro is fine for most shit

glacial sparrow
#

it works fine but it's usually ugly lol

smoky thunder
#

As long as materials are sturdy enough and stitching is solid

glacial sparrow
#

depends on what it is and what company it is exactly

smoky thunder
#

Usually isn’t but there’s plenty of exceptions to the rules

#

Mesh and split front are destined to fail at some point anyways

gritty rampart

#

You don’t have to say “just as good” and it’s lame that people can’t differentiate “just as good” from “good enough”

#

Obviously don’t expect the chinesium crye pouch to be just as good as the genuine crye pouch

#

But it might still be good enough

gritty rampart
#

well said

glacial sparrow

#

wouldn't be surprised

#

I do outdoor, not milsim

#

Would like to do milsims some day though. I got into airsoft only a few months ago

gritty rampart
#

if you only need something for hydration 100% get what amity said

glacial sparrow
#

it's future proofing

#

Buy the nice thing the first time instead of wasting money on cheap shit and having to upgrade later, you'll save more overall

#

I only buy nice/real gear

#

cheaper in the long run

river bison
#

You’ll be surprised, a lot of our guys bought some idogear stuff as throwaways but they lasted awhile

#

Especially the combat pants and top

#

And for pouches it shouldn’t matter since all it needs to do is hold shit

Does anyone know if headsets actually give you any advantage other than comms?

harsh spire
#

Depends on the headset but it can actually help you hear stuff about better at times

#

And the obvious benefit of dampening sound with grenades and stuff

static monolith
#

is it directional audio?

old latch
#

Also, you hear yourself louder so you tend to be quieter. Stepping on leaves, wood etc. is really loud. Can be confusing but helps you be aware of the noise you make. I know, sounds weird but I find it helps.
It can be disorienting at times though, and understanding people gets way harder. I already have trouble understanding people as is, but with active headphones it gets really hard.
Given, I have 100ish dollar FMA OpsCore Repros, good ones may be better. But damn spensive obviously

Still I really like headphones, they do add some bulk though, but if your helmet is set up well it should be no issue. I have a lot of stuff on mine and I barely notice it

Plate carrier needs an upgrade but other than that pretty nice setup

Current plate carrier setup, missing 2 Thunder B pouches and the PRC-152 radio pouch on the back. Absolutely overkill for airsoft, (+steel plates, Ceramic level IVs are in the mail still) absolutely LARPing

gritty rampart
slate leaf
# gritty rampart That front mag setup is interesting to say the least

Yessir, the plate carrier has 8 molle slots instead of the usual 6 on most modern plate carriers, it’s an older design from mid GWOT, this plate carrier itself is like 15 years old. Personally I really like the accessibility of the mags, but it’s not exactly slim on the front.

# crystal rover A lot of people are moving away to Maxx due to the price to performance

To be fair I believe chamber doesn't matter for performance. Not worth the money if you pay full price imo. Your BB never really contacts the HUU, only the bucking.
What matters is fitment/ alignment. You can have a plastic chamber no issue, but you need to find a c clip that fits your barrel and chamber with no wiggle, or modify with tape etc.
Theres no advantage I see to the material being aluminum over plastic. Just more money. Get a good tensioner and bucking instead

Normal epms dont but the 250rnd spring fully loaded jams the bbs harder up against the hop

#

I’ve started to phase over to EPM1’s and 150 rd EPM’s for my HPA setups

#

From G&P mags

eternal abyss
#

Should you store epm1’s empty? Or leave them in to soften the spring a little?

slate leaf
glacial sparrow
#

leaving them loaded will cause midcap syndrome where the spring gets weak and gets feeding issues

quartz gorge
#

EPM1 mags will cause mid-cap syndrome with most guns when you store them empty.

The spring is too strong pushing the bb's against the nozzle, causing bb's to fall out of your barrel or other problems.

I'd recommend you to load them for like 75% with 0,3g+ if possible, and leave it for a week or two. After that unload.

#

When your spring is too weak (what is near impossible with EPM1 mags) you will get feeding issues.

#

Tbh sell your EPM1 mags (because they give nothing but trouble) and get yourself either the EPM1small or the EPM regular mags.

Personally I run EPM1S and they are great!

gritty rampart
quartz gorge
glacial sparrow
#

holy shit

quartz gorge
#

good advice, talking from experience

glacial sparrow
#

clearly

#

leaving them loaded is how you get a compressed spring

#

also PTS EPM and EPM1s are like the gold standard of mags

quartz gorge
#

spring is so tough on EMP1's it won't bother much leaving it for a week loaded

#

it's actually what most people do that I speak on the fields and know

glacial sparrow
#

yeah people at local fields are dumb lmfao

#

you really shouldn't be leaving mags stored loaded

#

If you forget it once it's gonna be fine but it shouldn't be a habit

quartz gorge
#

it's just recommended to do for braking the spring in....

#

but sure

glacial sparrow
#

if you're trying to "break it in" then just load it and unload it some

quartz gorge
#

uuhuh..... won't help much

glacial sparrow
#

Next time you give advice please be sober first

quartz gorge
#

kicked in the balls??

#

just saying that a lot of people leave them loaded for a week to brake the spring in

crystal rover
#

@glacial sparrow as someone who knows multiple ppl in the emp1 supermeacy. they all break their new mags in the same way. leaving them loaded for a week. not fully tho at about 3/4 full

glacial sparrow
#

im saying you shouldnt store your mags loaded for periods of time lmao

#

also that "sell the epm1s" is dumb advice

nova topaz

just get a ak and run cyma/matrix mid caps lol

smoky thunder

nova topaz
#

anyways I just bought a novus 1p87

#

river bison
#

also the epm1 springs are easily replaceable, they sell replacement springs for em on the off chance your spring gets messed up too

#

my oldest epm1's is probably 3 years going strong

yeah damage to my hop wont happen because its upgraded so its literally just a case of what i should do with the mags

its a full brand new hpa build with new epm1's just seeing if i should or not that was all

especially the glock

vague linden
quartz gorge
eternal abyss
#

Just makes them easier to load to full?

quartz gorge
#

That + less chance of getting mid-cap syndrome

eternal abyss
#

which is?

#

ah too much pressure

quartz gorge
#

Bb's pushing too hard on the nozzle. By breaking in the spring, the spring will get a little bit weaker. Thus less pressure from the bb's to the nozzle.

eternal abyss
#

yeah im not home now so i'll not have chance to do it before playing now

should be okay

#

I have a problem

muted bloom
#

yea i would buy a knockoff myself

#

can't think of any situation where a knockoff would be insufficient

#

not gonna be jumping from planes where a fake one falls apart

upbeat jacinth
#

And looking for another

gritty rampart
muted bloom
#

is it like buying a crappy one, then buying a good one, then realizing it's not good enough?

#

or something like falling for some fad like slick plate carriers or whatever

#

or is it just that buying them and having them is cool

gritty rampart
muted bloom
#

i also used to get some theme-appropriate retro kits for whatever guns i got

#

nowadays i just do the squad militia inspired™️ kit

I own several for different purposes or for loaning

#

AVS and JPC 2.0 for work and for airsoft, Ferro Slickster as a loaner/concealable carrier and a FCPCV5

muted bloom
#

i feel like beyond that it would cross the point of diminishing returns, i wont be getting struck with mortars or be fighting the terminator with all the thermal and night vision shit on a sunday skirmish

upbeat jacinth
#

I've got an MMAC, because I wanted something in AOR1, an LBT6094, because they are great and built like tanks, a first spear LTO, because I got a set of the rare plates it takes and wanted to round off the set, a full IOTV, because it was in great condition and dirt cheap, and another 3A carrier from some known in brand that I also got for dirt cheap

#

anyone here own an npo sr2m? i need some info for a project

muted bloom
#

i'd probably just get one in some neutral color like ranger green, goes well with pretty much everything

#

i mean there's the extremely unlikely "shit hits the fan" scenario where the russians invade, but that's nearly in the realm of fiction imo

#

in that case our army pretty much accepts any personal gear that's either in RG or M05

very unlikely you are gonna be shot, even less likely that you are gonna be shot wearing body armor

and at that point it's just a coin flip

and the coin's gotta land on it's side

nah it's probably not that bad, i might be exaggerating a bit

Dnc for drip, or Coyote/RG. MC if you are a broke bitch

A lot of people talk about the combat shirts and bottoms, but cold weather gear goes underappreciated I feel

during winters i just play video games and go to gym

Imo the patterning is too small so it doesn't do a good job of breaking up shapes, looking homogenous at any distance

i get them from like a second hand marketplace for airsofters

We have tacswap

The actual surp has dried up and stores only stock new manufactured garbage

look for a Specna Edge 1.0 or Core line up with HAL etu (2.0's are the best, but are mostly around €350)

#

those are around 250

#

you could also go for a Lancer Tactical gen3, those are also pretty good

#

but it all depends on how much you're willing to spend

glacial sparrow
#

just the edge

#

do not buy a lancer tactical

Or do all your replica's need to be made out of (pot)metal?

average lct owner moment

harsh spire

But lct external quality is there

#

And mags are nice and well built

#

Since king arms doesn’t really sell their vals anymore and cyma is….cyma lct is basically the only game in town for the Val unless you want to punch up and get a NPO

#

Cause E&L sure doesn’t make one their to busy with their weird China gat that’s half gbb half hpa that nobody asked for

honest meadow
#

or be a chad and get a sto

harsh spire
#

What

honest meadow
#

STO made a as val

#

its the best looking and most accurate one you can get

harsh spire
#

Never even heard of them

honest meadow
#

if you can find one

harsh spire
#

You mean NPO

honest meadow
honest meadow
#

sto

harsh spire
#

The Russian manufacturer

#

I would bet NPO is more accurate cause the literally had a Val irl to reference

crystal rover
honest meadow
#

sto are also russian so i imagine they also had a val to reference from

#

i think the main difference is finish and maybe dimensions

harsh spire
#

Where would you even get one

crystal rover
#

who tf is sto

honest meadow
#

my mate has one

#

its 1 of 2 in the uk

harsh spire
#

Npo is already impossible to get

honest meadow
#

and the other one is owned by a guy who is a collector and never uses it

harsh spire
#

Have to buy second hand or jump through a million hoops to get it imported

honest meadow
#

so my mate has the only gamed sto val in the country as far as we know

honest meadow
#

and very lucky to find it before it sold

harsh spire
#

Anyway my lct Val is lovely and I’m quite happy with it

#

Problems and all it cost me $250

Guy refunded me partially after I told him what a sorry state it was in

im tihnking of a diff ref then

Which I’m fine with

Need to pick up a 6b46 soon just need my buddy to let his go

i mean if you have the ref go for it i just dont like when ppl try and do impression stuff then take massive far fetched ideas and say well it could be seen so its fine

why a size 3

#

they are massive

harsh spire

#

I tend to make guns like pkms look like normal rifles I dont like running subguns anymore cause it looks goofy

#

Although 1 handing a vityaz is fun lol

#

E&L needs to expand their lineup

#

If they really want to contend with LCT, they need to start making more guns

honest meadow
#

i think mos is mainly focusing their stuff on arcturus not e&l

harsh spire
#

And they need to start putting a finish worth a damn on their rifles

honest meadow
#

so alot of E&L stuff is getting put on the back burner

harsh spire
#

You uh know what I mean

honest meadow
#

what cause they can rust when idiots dont understand leaving steel in humid environments causes them to rust?

#

the only reason lct dont rust is because they are powder coated black

harsh spire
#

Cyma don’t rust either

honest meadow
#

cyma is painted from my knowledge

harsh spire
#

Arcturus does rust but it takes a lot

#

Like a lot of abuse

honest meadow
#

mhm an E&L is just blued steel

#

so it makes sense that they rust after a while if they arent oiled like a real rifle

crystal rover
#

Cyma is the shit everyone can afford
E&l focused on being as close to real as possible
Arcturus is focusing on being the under on all field (pcc, m4, ak)
Lct build there shit like tanks but don’t but worth a damn to internals

harsh spire

lct internals really arent that bad

my RPK performed beautifully

Legit SIG optics in airsoft is a bit overkill, but they work on my real rifles as well, so there’s that

I can throw this gun around and have zero issues with zeroing (considering max range is like 150 feet lol)

I’ve dropped my gun so many times, works perfectly still, for a $340 gun it’s friggin solid
