airsoft

[livid venture]

imagine they just have a tarkov player counter in a office somewhere

[astral quail]

2 bags minimum

Like i said technically you use 1 bag but you need the second one to repurpose the handles for the harness straps

And then i used velcro to be able to don the rig on and off

And they should be cheap af

Last i was at an IKEA, it was like £1.50 per bag

Any brand you looking at in particular?

[livid venture]

saving up for this https://www.wgcshop.com/products/vfc-vf2-ak74m-bk81?srsltid=AfmBOopitAKhnQCVVfPa3KIkOx0drsqoBQ1YO6iMyIVEwtum6pfnPzYk

[astral quail]

Oh fairs

Yeah that’s valid

And like one of the best GBBR aks

It’s so popular here I can’t find one in stock here and by the time i do find one, it gets sold out here

[livid venture]

its better to save up for something that will last long, than spend for cheap and keep repairing

[astral quail]

^^

It’s deffo not fun

I’m a tech for my group

[livid venture]

what bout https://www.airsoftextreme.com/kwa-akg-74m-gbbr.html

[astral quail]

And they just keep sending me their shit to fix

I genuinely feel like mechanic

[livid venture]

I just model stuff for my AR

im almost done with the MG42

[astral quail]

Forget this thing

It was good like years ago

But not now

[livid venture]

even 11 years ago people where hating on it

[astral quail]

Ooh

Yeah KWA is not known for making GBBR AKs

[astral quail]

Yep

[livid venture]

I check on website it says may batch

[astral quail]

For?

The VFC?

[livid venture]

the

[astral quail]

Ah

That’s the thing when things get sold out

You prob won’t see it for another half a year or so

[livid venture]

is there like a batch every year?

[astral quail]

You basically just have to spawn camp em

[astral quail]

Yeah basically

[livid venture]

is it where like each batch a problom gets fixed or smtj

or just same thing

[astral quail]

I’d say like every half year

So 6 months

Obv it’s dependant on demand

But

It’s high atm

And there is that VFC AK with a more modern furniture from factory

So you can either get this base AK-74m or one with already added furniture

[livid venture]

what is added furniture

[astral quail]

It’s not zenitco for sure

If i can recall

It more western style?

Like it has an M4 buffertube

[livid venture]

oh god, making a AK into M4

lol

[astral quail]

And the handguard and pistol grip i believe is like a magpul style?

And the handguard and pistol grip i believe is like a magpul style?

I need to double check

Yeah lmao

Lemme find a pic

[livid venture]

what about We ak74 gbb4

cause most my kit either middle eastern

or half russian

https://www.evike.com/products/83227/

what is the full travel bolt thing, do some AK not have it?

[astral quail]

Ok nvm it’s not magpul

But it’s an mlok handguard

[astral quail]

WE are good

But they kinda rare from what i’ve seen

So gl trying to find extra mags

[astral quail]

Nope

[livid venture]

I mean i just want to buy AK for the kick when it has blowback

[astral quail]

Most GBBR AKs are half travel to allow better gas efficiency

They still kick back

I have a GBBR AK-12m1 and it’s half travel

[livid venture]

yeah but wood furniture would go fire with middle eastern kit

[astral quail]

But still a joy to fire

[astral quail]

Yeah for sure

But obviously since it’s aks

[livid venture]

the reviews say somthing about the upper being loose

[astral quail]

You can swap em out

Like the gastube????

What they mean by upper

[livid venture]

Loose Upper-Handguard

[astral quail]

That’s like a normal ak thing tho

[livid venture]

if im going for middle eastern kit might as wellbuy steel mag

but this isnt ak74

or is it idk

[astral quail]

Just make sure they compatible if they diff brand

[livid venture]

it has a option on the website

both being same price

[astral quail]

It’s an AKM

Caliber is diff

[livid venture]

dose the muzzle on the 74 come off?

[astral quail]

Ye

[livid venture]

so if I put PBS suppresor

[astral quail]

It’ll work

[livid venture]

and if I take off dust cover

I can run scav kit

[astral quail]

😭

But yes

Yes you can

[livid venture]

lol

[stoic umbra]

its gonna be horribly cursed when you go to fields 😂

I can already see the kitted out chads and the noobs and then... you as a scav

but its valid af

go for it

You could add some tape on your stock as if its broken for that extra poor scav points

[astral quail]

Yep yep

[stoic umbra]

just ordered 340$ worth of gear to finish up this set

I hoped i could get a ctr stock on my hk416 but in no way in the universe am i fitting them batteries into the tube

[astral quail]

Augh

Ye

Unless you have a tiny lipo

Gl fitting a battery

[stoic umbra]

yeah nah the base hk416 stock has such small battery space im just comepletely converting to stick batteries anyways

maybe when they arrive i will try if its possible, if yes i will buy a ctr or mtr stock

also bought me some dummy plates with real weight

[astral quail]

good good

[languid ginkgo]

AOR 1 goodness

[livid venture]

wait are gbbr stocks removable? so liek runnign withotu stock

no stock, running this grip no dust cover and a PBS-1 suppresor

ive never had a gbbr and gon buy soon

[astral quail]

yeah

on the top of the stock near where it meets the receiver

there's a screw there

[livid venture]

so it still work without it?

w

[astral quail]

yep

[livid venture]

so then ill save up like 700, for mags too

[astral quail]

yep

the massive thing about gbbrs

price

[livid venture]

tbh for now ima try to get my autism to hold itself together, and make Ikea bag

[livid venture]

might just get and hang on my wall, and use M4+ AK till I buys ore mags

[astral quail]

Ye fairs

[astral quail]

Yeah fair enough

When i grab a gbbr

I just try to get the amount of mags that i’d use at the same time

Just so i don’t have to deal with things being out of stock

[livid venture]

I made 100 bucks in a year selling 3d printer models, so I either wait 4 more years. or just work next year

[astral quail]

💀

by the time you get the money for the ak in the 4 years

there's gonna be more better models by then

[livid venture]

Isn’t that better tho

[livid venture]

I’m done with my MG42

[storm schooner]

send this to brandon herrera

[livid venture]

is not real sadly

[storm schooner]

i know but its still a cursed gun

[junior siren]

Sir i curse you and your 3d printer

[copper beacon]

I have both of these on the way

[stoic umbra]

doesnt maintenance also climb high too especially if its a shitty brand

[astral quail]

More replacement parts and the actual maintenance yes

Since they gotta cheap out somewhere

And by the time you replace the gun internally multiple times

The money you spent on repairing and replacing parts would set you back on a good GBBR

[stoic umbra]

Ah i see, im not really familiar with gbbr i only have a gas hi capa handgun

[astral quail]

Fairs

It’s dependent on the platform as well

Pistols are cheaper and something like your hi capa

There’s a shit ton of aftermarket parts

But nowadays there’s quite a lot of budget GBBRs that won’t just tear itself apart and not absolutely tank your wallet

[stoic umbra]

funny enough the stock hammer snapped so im gonna replace it with a new more durable one

i always knew it felt cheap on my thumb

[astral quail]

Hahaha

But at the same time it’s a hi capa

[stoic umbra]

felt like some aluminum alloy or some shi

[astral quail]

That thing is meant to be upgraded

[stoic umbra]

yep

i mean im throwing cash at gear, upgrades later when needed 👍

[astral quail]

Yeah, is it TM??

[stoic umbra]

its vorsk

tm based

[astral quail]

Oh that explains for sure

[stoic umbra]

it looked amazing so i got it

[astral quail]

Vorsk is a decent brand for the cost

[stoic umbra]

currently in the middle of disassembly

[astral quail]

Fairs

[stoic umbra]

the tiny parts piss me off

[astral quail]

Hahaha

Yep

It be like that

Just make sure no spring just flies off to the point you never see it again

[stoic umbra]

nothing flew off so thats fine

managed to keep it in there

[astral quail]

Good good

[stoic umbra]

okay i got into the hammer

i ordered a package from the local shop so i will buy the new hammer there once i pick it up

[astral quail]

You got lube for it?

[stoic umbra]

yea i bought me a pack of silicone oil some time ago

imma lube it up once i reassemble with the new part

[astral quail]

Aite aite

[stoic umbra]

make sure the gun is nice and clean

ready for use

[astral quail]

Yep

[stoic umbra]

also fixed a leaky mag so thats nice

the o ring decided to just not be tight lol

[astral quail]

Lmao

You replaced that one?

[stoic umbra]

no not yet, i tightened it fully and ill see if it does the same shit next time, if it does im buying a new one

[astral quail]

Fairs

How you keep your mags

You keep gas inside?

Green gas i’m assuming as well

[stoic umbra]

yea

[stoic umbra]

i havent used them in a while might need to keep gas overnight

i was out of airsoft for a long period

just doing maintenance before a camp my team is organising

30+ mfs in hilly forests its gonna be fun

2 nights spent in the forest too im looking fw to it

[astral quail]

Ohh that’s nice

[astral quail]

Ye

Just to keep the seals tight

[stoic umbra]

Yeah the leader of the team used to be an instructor at a kids camp for several years so he got the experience

[stoic umbra]

yep

aint even that expensive

[astral quail]

Nope

[stoic umbra]

like 150$ for the whole week

[astral quail]

Oh

[stoic umbra]

the camp

not the mag seal

[astral quail]

Yeah that’s pretty reasonable

Yeah I figured

[stoic umbra]

Well be staying at an inn for 4 nights

300x300 forest and an indoor arena abandoned bunker

or some sort of installation not sure

[astral quail]

Would be a vibe for sure

Can imagine

[stoic umbra]

this is the hammer that broke @astral quail gonna replace it with a steel one

well into the trash you go

put all the parts into a safe area now just gotta wait for the package

[astral quail]

Hopefully wont be as painful to put back together

[stoic umbra]

probably wont, im quite handy when i need to be

[astral quail]

Aite aite

[stoic umbra]

20$ for something i know wont break feels assuring

[astral quail]

Yep

Now it’s a question of what breaks next after you install that

[stoic umbra]

ahahaha

id say im gonna need a better hop up sooner or later

[ionic temple]

no

avoid

KWA are infamous for using mediocre quality proprietary parts that they don't offer replacements for

[ionic temple]

I wouldn't get one honestly

you're going to have to replace some WE pot metal stuff for steel if you want that thing to last

and generally, only GBB AK thats worth it nowadays is the VFC

[livid venture]

ATP not gonna take it to games, just wanna put it on my wall

[astral quail]

Or TM

[stoic umbra]

Eventually im gonna pick up a gbbr and forsure gonna be tm or vfc

[stoic umbra]

also realized my first ever m4s magazine catch just completely slipped out so thats another issue i need to fix 😂

not that bad tho

[astral quail]

😭

Issues upon issues to be fixed

[ionic temple]

right

[crystal rover]

Vorsk is loosely we based

[stoic umbra]

i read its tm based

not sure which is right but i know the build makes it compatible with a lot

i definitely wanna upgrade it but theres no rush because it works well even like that, i guess its just a question of what breaks gets upgraded

not my priority

[astral quail]

i mean

a lot of things are TM based since they're the og ones

from a store staff

Vorsk is based off WE, which is based off TM

same goes for Raven

[stoic umbra]

Managed to find the whole mag catch including the tiny screw im lucky

[astral quail]

nice nice

[dry hound]

Yall know any texas industries dog leg dust covers?

I want to get one for my gbbr

[astral quail]

if you're going specifically for the texas industries ones

they ain't gonna work with the krinks

[dry hound]

Yeah i know i want one for vfc 74

I was looking for one for the ak104 but from what ive heard ghks quality control is ass

So it has been lately

[astral quail]

oh fairs

[astral quail]

yeah and performance as well

[astral quail]

i would assume a repro?

[dry hound]

Yeah

Like a good repro

Its a bit expensive its like 800 in my currency

Without shipment

[stoic umbra]

no idea what 800 in your currency is

[stoic umbra]

mfs couldnt deliver before the weekend, guess ill have to wait till monday

[valid charm]

anyone selling any airsoft stuff for beginners?

in eu

[stoic umbra]

where are you from

[prime spear]

is buying weppons from "TaiwanGun" good? especialy if i live in poland

[plain galleon]

a friend of mine already bought something from there with no problems.

[prime spear]

im thinking about buying this ak
https://www.taiwangun.com/pl/karabin-szturmowy-aeg/replika-karabinka-ak-105-sports-line-etu-s-t

[plain galleon]

i dont have alot of experience with AEGs so i cant help you with that

[valid charm]

If your in the eu it shouldn’t matter. Airsoft stuff gets past customs no problem, including guns

[slate leaf]

Giys

Guys

[astral quail]

definitely the best web for you then

[astral quail]

looks good for the price

[stoic umbra]

oh im just curious, i do have some of my beginner gear left over tho

[ionic temple]

avoid

[prime spear]

why

[ionic temple]

that 'polymer' body they're talking about is cheap ABS

seeing the internals, first two things that stand out are the absolutely horrid looking sintered 18:1s and I'm telling you that that cylinder is aluminium

the last thing you want your cylinder to be made of is aluminium

[prime spear]

how so, in the technical data, it says its materials are metal, nylon, steel

[ionic temple]

read the description, it literally says 'polymer body'

if you really want an AK, VFC-spec cymas are the way to go

avoid TM-spec stuff

[prime spear]

where

i dont see it

[prime spear]

oh

[ionic temple]

this is a really good AK rifle for the money
https://www.taiwangun.com/assault-rifle-aeg/cm-045-high-speed-cyma

[ionic temple]

its basically a VFC-spec, just better

13:1 gears instead of stock 18:1

better motor than stock cymas (22tpa neodynium-based magnets)

[prime spear]

ooo a aku

but i really wanted longer barell ak

[ionic temple]

whats your budget?

[prime spear]

for now, nothing much, but il eventualy save up

something nice that will last

[ionic temple]

specna just released their prime lineup of AKs

the prime series first released as M4s

and they pretty much have the best internals you can get ootb

...but they bear quite a hefty price tag

but as I've stated earlier, you really can't go wrong with VFC-spec cymas

[crystal rover]

Specna has the some of the most mid internals in their price range

They Just have slightly better bodies than most

[astral quail]

oh i just realised it says polymer body, ye aks with polymer recievers are just doo doo

[astral quail]

i found them to be aight

worked for me as i started out for like £160

nothing wrong with em

[crystal rover]

Ye but that’s it

They just aight

[astral quail]

yep

[astral quail]

here's a chart that should help

if you going for a Cyma AK

[prime spear]

Yeah I thought cyma was a low quality producers, some of thier weapons look like toys

But thanks

[astral quail]

yeah the really cheaply priced stuff definitely are

and would probably save up the money for their more expensive lines

[civic imp]

I wish airsoft wasn’t such a hard to get into sport in this country… I’d love to use the printer to mod the hell out of stuff

[stoic umbra]

@astral quail gear came in

[serene magnet]

What is this? @stoic umbra

[stoic umbra]

tourniquet and grenade pouches

imma be using the tourniquet for misc. stuff for some time tho

[serene magnet]

Ty for answer

[dry root]

Holyy looks cool

Id love to get ak4u

If only i had money 4 it

[velvet phoenix]

Anybody have any experience with mounting hand guards on E&L AKs? I’m looking to get the magpul AK accessories kit for mine but I wanna make sure it’s feasible

Or any other handguard and stock combo for those who have experience

[astral quail]

ohh nice nice

where you gonna have those mounted?

[astral quail]

Imma just say expect to file/remove a shit ton of material

Unless it's made specifically for E&L spec

I run a repro B30 by 5KU and i had to remove a small amount of material to make it fit tightly

[velvet phoenix]

Alright

[stoic umbra]

frags on belt, holster on thigh, ifak (which you can also rip off completely if needed) on the left, tourniquet/misc. on the right. Admin i put above mags, I also have a drop pouch i moved it a little back and to the right, not the ideal position, but i think i will manage, i might switch up the left and right if needed

only 2 things i need rn is medical equipment and a cable for the radio

Maybe a belly pouch, and some details for styling out the plate carrier and that should be it

[junior siren]

so one of my fiends might have one of if not the most decked out Vectors in Denmark and my god the only thing to make that thing more insane is if it was a GBBR

[astral quail]

fairs fairs

[astral quail]

just don't overload the belt kit or else it's just gonna start pulling things down

[valid charm]

has anyone tried attaching mags to their rig via magnets? like standard m4 hi capa mags attached to magnets mounted with molle
i think it would make quick reloads and mag storing easier

[stoic umbra]

well actually the belt is made of 2 parts and its held together by velcro, not planning on overloading it tho

[gusty zephyr]

you will lose it.

[valid charm]

Ah alright

[stoic umbra]

even if you get some strongass neodymium magnets it would be a pain in the ass tbf

You could get some quality open top pouches, i use em and theyre great

[lost dove]

love my 74M

[stoic umbra]

damn thats a cool mesh

One of those 3 cents on steam marketplace meshes but looks great

[fickle bloom]

Played with my gas blow back for the first time.

[echo vector]

https://youtube.com/shorts/xyUA6HSPsaU?si=EeqUEBJI_Z4Rm-kR

[river bison]

I used to have the same AK setup but sold it, that shit is so heavy for what it is lol

[fickle bloom]

Dude it's got the steel kit on it too

Genuinely so heavy

Mags too actually

Just a big heavy fun kit that makes you feel like you've earned every kill

[low umbra]

tm akm?

[stoic umbra]

did u mod beforehand or buy it like that (ex. sight and grip)

[river bison]

I just finished moving, now I gotta unload my whole fuckin collection

The rest are still in the crates

[valid charm]

ok

[stoic umbra]

how many of these do you actually use

[river bison]

I cycle them and some I use as loaners to friends

All of them HPA

[lost dove]

It works well since I live in a swampy area

[fickle bloom]

YEAH

[fickle bloom]

came with the stock only

modded everything else

its got aftermarket body as well

real power steel kit

getting a steel bolt soon hopefully

[stoic umbra]

thats neat, what brand is it

[fickle bloom]

AKM is Tokyo Marui, steel kit is by real power, zenit stuff is WII tech

[proven pike]

Peak

[junior siren]

After being invited out to a CQB field today, i finally get a good chance to use my MP9 and MP7

[fickle bloom]

Fancy seeing u here ❤️

[proven pike]

Almost didnt recognise ya lmao

[fickle bloom]

I have a nice pfp

[old latch]

Progress on the Custom DSR-1 HPA engine:

[serene magnet]

Holy

Why this table looking like my whole room?

[serene magnet]

Good luck with engine

[tough lotus]

What patches should I get for my ratnik kit?

[old latch]

Thanks <3, So far it's promising but I'm still expecting to find a flaw that ruins everything

[serene magnet]

As more you think about it, as more would be a chance of that

[serene magnet]

I think patch with Jesus Christ

Idk why, but lot of russian soldiers using it

Maybe because of flags that Russian Empire used to in wars

Also

-50% chance of being hitted by bbs

XD

[fickle bloom]

None

If you're going to Rusfor its best to run no patches

For the time being

Like how a GTA car isn't the real car but you get the idea

[ionic temple]

ehh a flag patch wouldn't harm a lot

just nothing that shows any sort of support of russia's actions in ukraine or any of their extremist movements

[fickle bloom]

Furthest I go is BEAR patch on my helmet

[ionic temple]

yeah thats fair

[fickle bloom]

I like russian gear, but I'm not tryna impression kit da soldiers, to be fair I think impression kits of Ukrainian soldiers is equally cringe

Run the stuff, don't run real patches is my humble opinion

[ionic temple]

I hate how its always associated with russia, as an orthodox I'd like to have one without people instantly going like 'ha z larper'

[fickle bloom]

Ztard

I love that term

Ztard

[ionic temple]

lmao

stealing that

[fickle bloom]

I mean I'm going to be rocking russian gear on Sunday

Gorka 4, smersh and VSS

[ionic temple]

gorkas are based

lemme find my gorka kit

there

[fickle bloom]

Couldn't get a real one in my size

(I'm very small)

[ionic temple]

I'm surprised how well it fits me given that its an M and I'm an S

[ionic temple]

yeah, I just got a real one and gambled it

I mean, it was 60 bucks

[fickle bloom]

Good price

[ionic temple]

worst case scenario I could've resold it for like, a hundred

[ionic temple]

its really nothing fancy but I like it

[fickle bloom]

Yeah khaki ones are cool IMO

I need to get the VFC AK74M

I think that's what I'll save up for next

[ionic temple]

I really didn't expect my color mix to look that good, especially not ATACS on a blue defender

[fickle bloom]

Blue defender is drip

[copper beacon]

VSS

Its currently getting upgraded

[serene magnet]

we are talking about rusfor kit

so

why not?

bruh, I'm living in Ukraine

[ionic temple]

cheapest one demych had

[fickle bloom]

Demych

Love that boy

[ionic temple]

yeah he's great

[lost dove]

No.

Get a unit patch and an armed forces of Russia patch or get a unit patch and a morale patch

Unless you are orthodox I feel like too many people use orthodox symbolism on their gear without understanding the meaning they represent

It's blasphemous

I've got a low visibility cross on my equipment but I also follow orthodoxy

I have a morale patch on my layer 5 and a armed forces of Russia patch on my layer 8 personally

[ionic temple]

real

[tough lotus]

Thats what I did. I ended up with VDV

[lost dove]

thankfully everyone I know irl who runs anything to do with these symbols are actually orthodox
I've got an icon in my helmet and an icon in my chest pouch

[lost dove]

glad to hear that

[ionic temple]

as an orthodox I wish I could run one without people instantly labeling my kit as a rusfor kit

while yeah, I do rusfor too

[tough lotus]

I had a lot of trouble finding black 6sh122 so I ended up going with olive. If anyone knows where to get black please lmk qwq

[lost dove]

I do do rusfor so I'm not helping the problem but the symbolism of orthodoxy shouldn't just be affiliated with russia

[lost dove]

Black 6sh122?

Wdym by that

Never heard of that even being a thing

[ionic temple]

yeah, exactly

[lost dove]

Ive heard of and seen the Syrian pink, Syrian digi beige, and the two sided autumn / summer
And winter EMR

but never black

I've got a summer / autumn one

[tough lotus]

Oh I just kinda assumed lol

Thanks for letting me know

[lost dove]

they only make them in specific patterns since their issued to airborne troops

there are black uniforms made but their made for SOBR , OMON , and rosvguardia (which are all domestic, not conventional infantry)

[tough lotus]

Ohhh oki

[lost dove]

if you need help with anything just dm me I can help ID a majority of currently used and formerly used equipment from the Ratnik program and some(?) third party brands

been doing rusfor for 6 years now

[tough lotus]

Thanks man, I message you what I currently have

[serene magnet]

@lost dove I didn't understand you correctly. Srry, for that. I agree with you in that question.

[serene magnet]

Guys, who used to CYMA's P90 before? Is it good gun?

[ionic temple]

its a good upgrade base

[serene magnet]

Thx for answer

[tough lotus]

Oh earlier I was talking about the black gloves

[crystal rover]

Out of the p90s you can buy, it’s middle of the road

Because there is only like 3 companies that make one

[lost dove]

Oh ok
That makes more sense

[lost dove]

your goodn

[copper beacon]

It be getting the good parts

[ionic temple]

LCT or KA?

[copper beacon]

Lct

I already have a huge collection of lct as val mags so i wanted to save some money

[low umbra]

1 durability ahh

[junior siren]

She be missing some parts but she be shooting

[serene magnet]

How💔 🥀

[junior siren]

from that i can see, the bolt didn't move so the hammer didn't reset hens venting all the gas

[low umbra]

1 durability vro

[serene magnet]

Uhm...

That's why people love rusfor kits?

[lost dove]

John rusfor

Gotta respect it

I want rail guards in tarkov pls

[lapis vector]

If you're looking for a decent PP-19-01, Taiwangun currently has a clearance sale on their Arcturus stuff. This one is down from 308 to 157 Euros. Absolute steal

[river bison]

Finally unpacked my collection

[serene magnet]

Holy shit...

Looking like my dream and million dollars

[ionic temple]

who makes that 240?

[empty vortex]

Why do you have a 240B gng

And can I interest you in a not-stolen 240L

[turbid oyster]

Anyone here got an airsoft dragunov? looking for wood furniture for a real one and got the idea that airsoft might fit and be a lot cheaper.

[ionic temple]

https://www.taiwangun.com/conversions/svd-wood-conversion-kit-battleaxe
uuhh you can try this, I doubt that it'll be a slide-on and will require some extensive modification (if it'll even fit)

the pistol grip / stock are definitely thicker to house the motor

[turbid oyster]

Thanks a lot man I'll check it out, I got a wooden stock already it's specifically the wooden forend I'm looking for.

[ionic temple]

happy to help, good luck

VFC

[ionic temple]

damn, thats sick

[river bison]

It’s the GBB

Version

I HPA tapped it

[empty vortex]

Smh you should get a better gun not some goober gbbr

[serene magnet]

What the fuck is that

[empty vortex]

Acht acht

[ionic temple]

to put it simple, 88mm flak

[chilly bramble]

hello i want to buy this weapon but many people say lancer is bad. any other recommendations for guns that are the same?

[serene magnet]

Idk anything about this, but I think that better to watch some reviews

[crystal rover]

only buy the gen 4 lancers

the gen 3 is meh

[ionic temple]

avoid lancer

their QC is a joke

at that price point you're better off going with a specna edge

[chilly bramble]

okay thanks

[crystal rover]

qc is actually pretty good, just their replicas were subpar till the new gen

[ionic temple]

I'd still avoid them simply because of their bad rep, even if its gone

there are always alternatives

[crystal rover]

there rep aint even that bad tho

like their is way worse

[ionic temple]

such as?

[crystal rover]

valken

tippman

[ionic temple]

oh the stateside brands

[crystal rover]

tippman aint a us brand no more

[ionic temple]

I'm an euroid, I wouldn't know

[river bison]

matrix is a rebranded lancer too

[ionic temple]

matrix rebrands a lot of crap

emphasis on crap

[crystal rover]

matrix is a rebrand of alot

lancer shit is almost all rebranded aswell

[river bison]

@crystal rover did you see my new setup?

[crystal rover]

yes, was very crisp

[river bison]

army moved me from Alabama to Washington state

fucking across the country

[crystal rover]

i heard

[river bison]

so i had to pack my whole collection up

[crystal rover]

i had to move aswell lol

tho most of mine is pccs

[glacial sparrow]

❌

[crystal rover]

have you held or tested any recent lancer

[glacial sparrow]

yes, and they're still mid even just looking at the spec sheets regardless of their horrendous qc and customer support

Gen 3 and gen 4 fix some (not all) of the issues of 1/2 but they're still overpriced for what you're getting when you can get a calico jack or specna edge that will perform better for the same price or cheaper

[crystal rover]

1/2 are trash yes

thats not even a question

3 had good qc but for the price was mid

gen 4, specially in the US is overing smth competative for the price

yes the de is cheaper

but it def dont perform better

and the spencas that come with the same internals are roughly the same price last i check

with worse externals

[glacial sparrow]

lol

[old latch]

To be honest I've sorta sworn off the brand talk. Seen literally every opinion on every brand. It's probably because the variance between rifles is massive and people base their opinion off the one single replica they or a friend have.
Imo with budget AEGs, assume you will need to do upgrades or repairs sooner rather than later

[ionic temple]

specnas have worse externals than lancer?

I seriously doubt that

[crystal rover]

The new gen lancer seriously turned around on quality

[ionic temple]

how much do they go for?

[crystal rover]

The gen 4 with the asters sit a lil below 400

Which is what the specna with asters sell for

[ionic temple]

atp I'd just get a specna edge

for 350 you can get a basic prime M4 with a brushless

380 if we're talking AKs

[crystal rover]

The specna brushless are a scam from what I have heard

Also is that really the only thing the prime has going for it

Doesn’t even have a worth while mosfet

[ionic temple]

the brushless versions have asters

[ionic temple]

wdym

[crystal rover]

The prime serious ones I am looking say Hal mosfets

[crystal rover]

A couple techs I have talked to say they are lacking on performance compared to other brushless motors

[stoic umbra]

got some new stuff on my kit

[serene magnet]

Can you show it?

[stoic umbra]

still waiting on like 2 packages

ill post a pic when its complete

[serene magnet]

Ok

[ionic temple]

the phrase 'complete kit' is a lie and you can't tell me otherwise

its never complete

you're always missing something

[stoic umbra]

forgot to specify

when the shopping spree is complete 👍

[ionic temple]

real

in the middle of one myself </3

[stoic umbra]

i would say its coming close to reaching the point where it just is unreasonable to put more stuff on it

and would be better building an eastern kit

[ionic temple]

thank christ my eastern kit is extremely simple and I really don't need to improve on it

[stoic umbra]

ohhh.. my dumbass forgot to order the helmet cover

I did get the ptt cable finally on the other hand

[ionic temple]

uhh call or write an email

[stoic umbra]

yeah

Finding ranger green stuff can be a pain sometimes so i ordered from like 5 shops

[ionic temple]

finally managed to connect my PDA to wifi 🙏

[ionic temple]

tell me about it, legit MARPAT desert stuff is near non-existent in the EU

....especially helmet covers

only ones I found were from private sellers and costed 80-100€

[stoic umbra]

Marpat is nice

I feel u tho

I picked ranger green cause i really liked the g3 uniform

in that variation

[ionic temple]

I used to do ranger green

[stoic umbra]

Also id say its a very versatile choice when it comes to terrain

[ionic temple]

then sold of allat and went 90s camos

[stoic umbra]

I do play on everything

[ionic temple]

still working on that fit

[stoic umbra]

Yeah im not really into the old stuff

[ionic temple]

now, lets see how long it'll take for 3 bloody emails to send

[ionic temple]

its really just the patterns I'm after, rig I'm using isn't exactly new but not as old as an IBA or a PASGT either

[stoic umbra]

5 hrs if lucky fr

[ionic temple]

just a basic M81 6094 (not a repro, I don't have a single piece of kit thats repro)

[stoic umbra]

most of the patterns i just dont like

theres also the case of saudi modern camo

[ionic temple]

you really don't know what a pain in the ass this thing is to connect to pretty much anything modern

[stoic umbra]

which just looks like somebody smeared shit all over your uniform

[ionic temple]

it literally doesn't accept WPA/WPA2 but only WEP

meaning that connecting it to a router is a no-go

so your only option is basically giving it a fixed IP and using bluetooth tethering

[stoic umbra]

why do you have a pda in the first place

[ionic temple]

...then there's connecting it to a PC for data transfer, which is a whole different struggle and ten times as painful as that

[ionic temple]

my mp3 player froze and died and I found a really good deal on this thing so why not

[stoic umbra]

thats actually fucking crazy

[ionic temple]

I refuse to use spotify

[stoic umbra]

that pda would serve a great larp tho

ngl

[ionic temple]

SMTP connection is being rejected, fucking gold

[ionic temple]

stalker is what got me into looking at PDAs in the first place lmao

and I really like the one I got

[stoic umbra]

ok nvm the shop i ordered from doesnt have r green

[stoic umbra]

u got a picture?

[ionic temple]

charging cable + USB cradle (those things use proprietary connectors and are either rare, expensive or both), leather case (with a belt clip, which is very cool) and a 2GB storage card (big upgrade to the stock 256mb, all for 22 bucks

[ionic temple]

yeah, lemme take one

[ionic temple]

what store? might be able to help ye find one

[stoic umbra]

woohoo jackpot, my local shop has one

Imma stop by and buy one

[ionic temple]

ignore the snickers

[stoic umbra]

oh thats a cool one

[ionic temple]

thought you were on airsoft-online.cz
I bloody hate that site due to them having really good prices but not shipping outside the czech republic

[ionic temple]

its one of the later models, was produced shortly before smartphones became a big thing

2005ish psure

[stoic umbra]

czech shops are great

[stoic umbra]

yeah thats really nice

if you ever bring this to the field you will aurafarm the entire lobby

[ionic temple]

anareus and airsoftpro are def great
also, shoutout to the one time I ordered an ETU from anareus only for its price to drop by 20 bucks literally the next day

[stoic umbra]

impeccable timing

[ionic temple]

gon pull up with it mounted to my belt 🔥

it literally has a QR belt clip for the leather case

feels like a bloody holster

[stoic umbra]

I also ordered some heavy rubber plates, should arrive this week

[stoic umbra]

thats goated

[stoic umbra]

airsoftpro is also good

not sure if they ship abroad

[ionic temple]

screw it, this thing doesn't have email adresses on outlook, lets see if gmail works

(doesn't support https sites btw)

[ionic temple]

slightly pricy but they do

[stoic umbra]

its not like i have a choice with ranger green shit

[ionic temple]

oh right, guess how much it took this thing to transfer a 30-min mp3 file

[stoic umbra]

But yeah these shops never failed me with gear

the local shop sells slightly more expensive but very high quality stuff

[ionic temple]

55 minutes

[ionic temple]

what brands?

[stoic umbra]

got my rig and most pouches from there

1sec

[ionic temple]

after 2 minutes, internet explorer has reached the 'opening' phase 🙏

[stoic umbra]

i have some invader gear, clawgear, cant complain, feels great looks great

when it comes to guns they sell a lot of vorsk, i saw new ak gbbrs from arcturus on the wall

[ionic temple]

clawgear is pretty good in terms of EU-based brands

[stoic umbra]

specna arms

[ionic temple]

invader gear is fine usually

[ionic temple]

which series?

[stoic umbra]

asg too

[stoic umbra]

i myself have an edge 2.0

[ionic temple]

good, good

[stoic umbra]

they sell all series i think

i got a hk416

[ionic temple]

I've got 4 rigs atm
defender 2, tv-113, 6094 and a 15 year old american rig made by a company that no longer exists

[stoic umbra]

they sell archwick snipers but have no idea about them

[ionic temple]

GMAIL OPENED 🔥

only took it 5 minutes

[stoic umbra]

lmao

2005 problems

[ionic temple]

real

[stoic umbra]

i really wanna get a gbbr ak for the east kit

probably a we or tm

[ionic temple]

I'd go with the VFC

[stoic umbra]

or that

[ionic temple]

WE is fine but needs some pot metal parts switched out with steel ones

[stoic umbra]

still a lot of time for that

[ionic temple]

TM trades realism for performance

VFC is the most expensive of the bunch but also the bedt from what I've heard

[stoic umbra]

yeah im glad my hk is made of really good material

[ionic temple]

meant internally

[stoic umbra]

yeah that too

[ionic temple]

alright, so there seems to be no login button

sick

[stoic umbra]

i did find 350€ just laying on my crypto wallet a week ago

maybe it was a sign

[ionic temple]

can't really do much to mod the d2 or the 113, 6094 is already fairly well done, just need to focus on the RBV now

which is what'll go with my MARPAT desert fit

...means that I'll spend ~90€ on obscure pouches 🔥

[stoic umbra]

i got a reaper qrb rig, thats my go to rn apart from my first one

not sure if i got ripped off but i like it

[ionic temple]

yeah its fine from what I've heard

[stoic umbra]

not tryna larp any country or anything

[ionic temple]

I started out with an 8fields rig, somehow managed to sell it and make profit and got a tactec

[stoic umbra]

usec/pmc larp

[stoic umbra]

thats nice actually

[ionic temple]

then sold the tactec (with profit, of course) and got the RBV then all else followed

current 6094 setup, RBV is still a WIP as I said before

[stoic umbra]

I keep sending all the packages to one convenience store they must love me 😂

"Yeah uh hello id like pick up 3 packages"

[ionic temple]

thank christ we got a parcel box here

[stoic umbra]

oh there is a parcel box near

i just cant be arsed

[ionic temple]

lmao, fair

[crystal rover]

imagine not being able to ship to your front door

[stoic umbra]

oh hell nah fuck that shit

[ionic temple]

I generally do this except for vinted

[stoic umbra]

our state post office is so bad

[ionic temple]

costs like, 6 bucks more

[stoic umbra]

they would call you in the morning that they would stop by, not specifying when

then they arrive for 1 minute

[ionic temple]

fuck it, I'm running on 4 hours of sleep and don't have the energy to put up with the PDA's arsefuckery, I'm going to bed

[crystal rover]

lmao, here they just drop it off then leave

[stoic umbra]

and if youre not there they send to who knows where and tell you to pick it up next day

[stoic umbra]

yeah i mean at least theres no porch piracy

[stoic umbra]

gn my man

[crystal rover]

where i live you gotta drive down 40ft of drive way to even get to my house

[stoic umbra]

upper middle class problems

[crystal rover]

not even

[ionic temple]

courier services here fucking suck, I'd much rather use post
one time I had a package left at a neighbor (which I hadn't ever heard about) 2 streets away when I was home
an N amount of times it said 'delivery attempted' even though I was at home and the lazy fucks just took it to a parcel box

[stoic umbra]

america overall

[crystal rover]

still no

[stoic umbra]

unless you live on some ranch or city idk

[crystal rover]

america is mostly suburbs or compact housing

[ionic temple]

shoutout to UPS
'delivery attempted', of course
went to parcel box
only got QR code to open it after half an hour of pointless arguing with customer support (which was fucking useless)

[stoic umbra]

forgot the roads

[ionic temple]

anyways, gn

[stoic umbra]

courriers here are very reliable

thats their business model really

[ionic temple]

half an hour in which I literally stood in front of the bloody thing and did jack shit

[stoic umbra]

because the post office is just so ass

[crystal rover]

ups loosing a package that had 2 day shipping for 2 weeks

now have a perm locked paypal acc

[stoic umbra]

why do people use paypal

[crystal rover]

idk

i havent for 4 years

[stoic umbra]

ive never really understood it

[ionic temple]

buyer protection on 2nd hand purchases

[ionic temple]

looks great, I fw it

scrim turned out perfect imo

[glacial sparrow]

Tyty

[serene magnet]

Now all players blind

[gritty rampart]

W kit. 308 gun? (I may just be dumb as hell) also no optic is an interesting choice lol

Nvm not 308 I’m just blind

[glacial sparrow]

No optic because I'm broke AF lowkey

[gritty rampart]

So real

Idk if you’ve seen the new blic. Sold the polarstar and got this

[stoic umbra]

Im thinking of gettin a gbbr ak in the near future

[stoic umbra]

yeah that would make sense i guess

[ionic temple]

VFC all the way

although you're stuck with the 74M for now

[stoic umbra]

yeah i was thinking of the av74m

certainly is on my wishlist now

i will probably sell my first rifle (its cheap cyma mk18) and buy the ak

maybe from there on i could start building an eastern kit too

[silver orbit]

Beaut I picked up, the distinegrator from the mandolorion
Bolt, and is about 5'10 long

I'd have better lighting but I'm tryna let my people sleep

[dim linden]

Can't see anything exept for the reese's blanket.

[smoky thunder]

“HoodStar baby, come n struggle with me” ahh arp

I fw it

[smoky thunder]

104 underrated

Nice builds, as usual

[crystal rover]

https://www.evike.com/products/46507/ it’s this

[fallow seal]

New replica

[ionic temple]

that's a sick piece

heard good things about the MDR-X

[dry hound]

I've seen guys at milsim west on youtube wave the orthodox flag like its a toy and nothing more but for their larp videos and cause its "cool"

[fallow seal]

It will be hpa soon

[dry hound]

Aeg aks?

[ionic temple]

sick, was just thinking about how proprietary that thing's internals must be

[fallow seal]

Idk

like you can acces all parts documents

on site

here

[lost dove]

cringe.

[fickle bloom]

It's basically a toy yeah

Good for larp

[dry hound]

💔💔💔

[stoic umbra]

finally got my ptt cable

Only plates and helmet cover remaining

my crypto pumped and suddenly i have enough for the gbbr ak

[ionic temple]

airsoft has once again stolen money from me </3

[frozen raven]

If the money isn’t in you hands it’s not real : (

Didn’t mean to @ sorry

[frozen raven]

Same, waiting on m3a1

[ionic temple]

as in, the SMG?

and if so, what brand?

[frozen raven]

Snow wolf I already have batteries the right size for the grip

[ionic temple]

ah

in my case its MARPAT desert stuff

(screw you BF3 for giving me this kit idea)

part 2 of it is spending 90 bucks on pouches </3

[frozen raven]

Also cheapest rn you can get them for 190 on redwolf

[ionic temple]

what gearbox version do they use? doesn't look like it'd be proprietary

[frozen raven]

Cheapest modern collector item

[ionic temple]

its just that the pouches my RBV came with (2nd hand buy) are khaki (why does this exist) and not CB like the rig

[frozen raven]

It is but you have to or you end up with the ICS’s battery space, I’m hoping for fucked up lmg gearbox rn

[ionic temple]

thank christ they're paraclete, adds some extra value to them

I'll just get the same pouches but made by BHI or eagle

[frozen raven]

I had my own pouch struggle with the m3 the mags are like 9 1/2 inch long so they don’t fit in anything they even stick out of the top of Thompson mag pouches

[ionic temple]

MP7 pouches maybe?

[ionic temple]

yeah that makes sense

[frozen raven]

Ive been into early Cold War soldier of fortune/mercenary kit i got some cool Greek Alice/m1956 pouches that should work

Prolly repost but it’s whatever

[ionic temple]

honestly the MARPAT kit will be the first kit thats actually based on some sort of reference

my two other kits (one still WIP, hopefully done soon tho) just take a vibe and do whatever with it

what went from a semi-accurate M81 / DCU fit now is just sth that mixes the two

will see how DNC goes with it once I get my parka

[ionic temple]

comically large pouches

[frozen raven]

I have like 3 at various states rn lol I hate following kits to a T (woodland, modern Russian, and a 90s Ukrainian kit

[ionic temple]

90s ukrainian sounds sick

I really need myself some dubok

[frozen raven]

The uniforms are cheap rn

especially for style BDUs Soviet on eBay

[ionic temple]

ebay is a piece of crap in the EU

[frozen raven]

eBay is the casual king of surplus in the US

[ionic temple]

yeah, would be sick if it'd be here too

[frozen raven]

like going to a modern thrift store , sometimes robbery sometimes gold

[ionic temple]

its just checking like 10 different platforms and groups here and pray for the best

and yet I manage to not use repros while somewhat staying on a budget

[frozen raven]

based as fuck

we love OG kit

[ionic temple]

the last repro I still have is an MICH I still need to get rid of

got a PASGT instead for 75 bucks incl. norotos mount and the strap that holds it

[frozen raven]

I give helmets and high price items a pass though personally

[ionic temple]

and recently ordered a cat eye strap for it, it just looks weird without one imo

[frozen raven]

it’s a hobby, doesnt need to be a investment

[ionic temple]

yeah fr

I managed to get my gorka (BARS) for 60 bucks

[frozen raven]

He’ll yah

[ionic temple]

but my absolutely best score so far has to be my 96 brick holo

lemme find it

again, 60 bucks, works like new

60 is just my lucky number fr

[frozen raven]

Retro optics are so fucking awsome

[ionic temple]

...except for the fact that they use obscure battery types

[frozen raven]

Ive been eyeing some single point occluded optics

[frozen raven]

Ooof

that does stink

[ionic temple]

its N types, they can still be found, its just that they aren't as cheap as e.g. triple As and this thing absolutely chews through em

[stoic umbra]

I have a bad feeling that my expenditures will be dangerously close to one k

[gritty rampart]

Not an arp but yeah

[smoky thunder]

That’s the problem

Embrace the hood, ditch the stock

[gritty rampart]

hell no

[fickle bloom]

It's giving hood vibes

[stoic umbra]

yo chat is this kit valid

(dont mind the knee guards and my socks)

[fickle bloom]

yeah this is tuff asl

[stoic umbra]

last thing i need is a helmet cover to reduce the glare

[old latch]

Ladies and Gents, she done. Fully custom DSR-1 HPA conversion with an electric system. Glamour shots to follow

[stoic umbra]

Guys!! Come on take the usecpill 🗣️

[fickle bloom]

Really cool

[astral quail]

Fire bro 👌

[stoic umbra]

gonna be fun carrying allat + 120L backpack and maybe the rubber plates if they arrive on time

[stoic umbra]

mfs said in stock by 13.8.2025
Today it changed to 19.8.2025

if they change it one more time im refunding that shit

[astral quail]

Lmaoo

[astral quail]

Yessir

[stoic umbra]

Id say im reaching average tarkov raid weight with everything

[astral quail]

Gotta take a MULE and increase that weight

Get some more props as well

Maybe like keycards or injectors

[stoic umbra]

Lmaoo

I was thinking of buying something

like the cheese and golden star from amazon

[stoic umbra]

haha, im gonna pack up pre workout in small plastic bags

and refuse to elaborate whenever someone asks about it

Not gonna have space for the whole thing

ill just put in my afak

that made me realize i still need to buy the medical supplies

I dont wanna spend that much money

but I think I buy this

strip the parts off

paint bleu

and make into UN helmet for scav kit

for fun

[static monolith]

yeah it's E&L

[echo raptor]

не хуйня у меня лучше

[ionic temple]

...or just, buy a surplus PASGT

[echo raptor]

признавайся, ты агент краснов

[echo raptor]

лето и арбалеты, ща вагнера подъедут

[stoic umbra]

ok buddy

[dry hound]

I got two from e&l an ak103 and an aks74u
Brought out that aks74u to a weekend game,fired for the first time in 10 years

[tribal wren]

first pic a metro 2033 reference?

[echo raptor]

да

[stoic umbra]

fuckin plates man

keepin me on wait

[serene magnet]

Is it FSB-Alpha kit? It is not looking like "wagner" kit

[stoic umbra]

rusjak kit

[silver orbit]

Better picture of my new distintegrator rifle

[stoic umbra]

thats fire

[silver orbit]

It's about shoulder length to me as well lol (6'3)

[stoic umbra]

buddy is carrying a boom stick to the field

[silver orbit]

💥

It penetrates right through cardboard easily so it'll hurt like hell

[livid venture]

I’m still stiching my digital emr pants so I can fits in Chinese pants made for 5’5 people

Last time I went to doctors I was 5’7 so I thinks I grew a bit

[serene magnet]

How old are you?

Because, as I know, it's normal for people >25 y.o.

[livid venture]

I is under 18

[serene magnet]

Oh, so, that's normal

[livid venture]

I think I’m 5’11 I just haven’t

Forgot what it’s called

[serene magnet]

I had some problems with old clothes, because some times ago I grew faster than usual XD

[livid venture]

The problom with my Chinese pants is they slim and small, I’m like 5’11-5’12 if I compare myself
With the 6’3 door. And if I buy bigger Chinese pants it just becomes longer

[stoic umbra]

i mean 5 11 is an alright height

[livid venture]

Hopes I grows to 5’12 before applying to join law enforcement

Like 5 years

[serene magnet]

[remote schooner]

I have to apply in... 3 years

I am not at all physically ready

[stoic umbra]

May have to blast some hgh in case things dont go as planned 😭🙏

mk-677 our holy savior

[stoic umbra]

Some heavy cqb action today, probably almost 2kd not bad

[ionic temple]

call me daft

but I'm never using non-QD gearboxes ever again

[frozen raven]

quick spring change boxes are baller as fuck if that what you mean

[ionic temple]

I mean those that don't have QCS

getting a spring in a non-QC gearbox is a pain in the ass and a half

[frozen raven]

Fr idk why they even gave that a shot, why would you want a piston system you can’t release tension in before taking it apart

[dry root]

Im jealous

[gritty rampart]

why drop gun when target switching?

[crystal rover]

cause originally ppl didnt modify, they bought what they wanted

[frozen raven]

guess so but for me its about repairs

if something breaks i dont want to have to buy another

[crystal rover]

even then

gbs werent prone to failure as much

cause the materials werent as cheaply made

[crystal rover]

to anyone that cares

there is gonna be a gbb sr2m soon

[serene magnet]

yo, this is really cool

[silk tiger]

Those are real beauties

[proven pike]

what company

oh you mean the one lambda is potentially making

[frozen raven]

AEG sks is the holy grail of S&T only airsoft thing I’ve cared about in years
