airsoft

[tulip root]

Probs not but looks cool

[slate leaf]

really?

[tulip root]

Im looking at optics and a holo goes for like $500+ for IRL guns but an airsoft Holo is like $60 why so much more expensive they serve the same purpose right?

[slate leaf]

they should remake it to form to the hand better

[grizzled hill]

I’m just thinking of getting a rk1 on a 45 degree mount to compensate for drum mags and all that

[slate leaf]

airsoft holos are usually just red dot sights but lower grade and plastic

holographic sights have a whole dif system than red dot

which makes them fuggin 5 times the price

plus its mil-spec so add the extra 100 dollar for being military

[tulip root]

Yeah but its an optic which is dumb to over charge so much

https://www.ebay.com/itm/294851715828

Just bought this gun yesterday anyone whos good with airsoft is it any good I paid $250 for it and saved about $100+ with attachments I was gonna buy

Is 7.4 lipo good?

[slate leaf]

it looks seccy idk

[tulip root]

Thats why I got it he said its just under 400 fps which is good because then I can use it indoor

[grizzled hill]

I try to keep my stuff at 350-370

Not too high not too low

Good spot to stick to

[tulip root]

Well its valued at more than what I paid hes selling a lot of nice airsoft guns for under $300

[hexed fern]

airsoft optics don't have to stand up to nearly as much abuse from the thing they're attached to, and on top of that don't need nearly as precise adjustment or holding of zero

UH-1 vs airsoft knockoff of UH-1, the real deal works better at ranges over fifty or so feet (chevron point is actually pointy), doesn't lose zero in one mag on a real gun, and generally has much nicer fit and finish

[junior sedge]

Ig it really depends if someone is willing to spend like £400 on a sight. I mean yeah it's better than an airsoft optic, but imo it ain't worth spending the same amount that your gun probably costed, on a sight

[hexed fern]

for airsoft, absolutely go for an airsoft optic

[junior sedge]

Oh for sure

Oh wait you meant airsoft sights in real guns, my bad

[hexed fern]

for real guns? I've spent more than the gun cost on a sight and not regretted it

[junior sedge]

Real guns for sure then
I don't got much experience with real ones though :(

Best thing I ever got a chance to fire was an old rifle at my grandparents cottage

[hexed fern]

basically they don't cost more because they're milspec, they cost more because they're so much nicer

[junior sedge]

Mmmmmm

For sure

I got to try the vortex uhhhh, sniper scope thingy and it was pretty sweet

But I wouldn't buy it for its retail price

If I can somehow get it 2nd hand cheap as hell then yeah

[hexed fern]

I've run an airsoft quality scope on my proper rifle exactly once

because it ejected most of its insides after one shot

[junior sedge]

Ooft

Quality stuff dat

[hexed fern]

to be fair, $30 scope vs 300 win mag isn't a fair test

kinda like giving it a solid whack with a hammer

[tough oriole]

If you want a budget dot sight, Id recomend a holosun

[frank sphinx]

aren’t those like $150? Or am I thinking of something else

[tough oriole]

I bought mine a few years ago for around $110. check amazon and see

[frank sphinx]

I’d just get a replica T-1

[tough oriole]

But I have 3 now, and all have held up great to a moderate amount of abuse

Buying $50 dots for a real rifle seems silly to me

[valid aurora]

you can also get a sig romeo5 for like $120

[tough oriole]

thats another good one

[opaque iris]

UH 1 can break when you just drop your gun I got told a lot

embrace EoTech and Milspc 1P87 lmao

[opaque iris]

they don't

airshit optics are generally very cheaply made and hold zero very badly

that's why I opt out on real optics

I would generally advise to buy real shit even if you just use it for airsoft

especially carriers and helmets, most companys sell Bump versions of their helmets

[oak bane]

more like 200-250 iirc

[junior sedge]

Unless you're poor

Alot of people can't afford real sights

Some cost more than the bloody gun they're putting it on lol

[frank sphinx]

I’m poor :(

[junior sedge]

same

kinda

i can buy a real sight but it would stop me from eating for a few weeks

[frank sphinx]

My gun is like 12x more the my optic

[junior sedge]

only real sight i would consider would be a PSO for my next ak

[frank sphinx]

I’d never get a real sight, with my luck a bb is destroying it the first game I get it

[junior sedge]

real ones would be fine i imagine

tbf my mates eotech got fucked lol

[oak bane]

that's why you get a killflash or a lens protector

[tough oriole]

You ever see the test videos on some of them?

[frank sphinx]

Nope

[tough oriole]

Theres a guy who shoots them with a 12ga after doing drop tests, freeze tests etc

some of them have taken a hit and kept working

[oak bane]

yeah but the glass is broken

[tough oriole]

Nope

[oak bane]

fr?

[tough oriole]

He shoots them in the side, but yeah

kind of crazy

let me see if I can find an example

https://youtu.be/Fuq_N129SAI?t=830

Im not saying a BB couldnt crack the glass. But they are more durable than I expected

[opaque iris]

why

[junior sedge]

Because I like them

[hexed fern]

a lot of real sights are monstrously durable in terms of things they'd experience in an airsoft game

like, you can break an airsoft sight with a hammer

if I still had a spare Nikon dot I'd shoot it in the glass with a .22 a bit to prove a point

[deep oxide]

https://www.airsoftgi.com/product/PTS-Fortis-Shift-Vertical-Grip-MLOK-Black-28782/

just saved u a lot of money.

[deep oxide]

they also have to hold zero under bad condition scenarios like mud, hitting the weapon, water, etc.

[tulip root]

Thanks for trying

[deep oxide]

Yeah I know they're out of stock

My point is your saving a lot of money if you just wait lmao. Spend 75 now or wait a month or a couple of weeks and monitor the item and save 40 bucks

Your choice

[tulip root]

Thanks

[frank sphinx]

How?

[grand jay]

does anyone recommend an airsoft website?

[bold moat]

Yes try https://www.patrolbase.co.uk

[grand jay]

[bold moat]

🙂

[junior sedge]

Prefired is good for 2nd hand!

Oh and landwarrior

Assuming you are UK based

[slate leaf]

Hot gun

[frank sphinx]

beautiful

[grizzled hill]

Finally put an optic on this damn thing

[tribal wren]

looks sweet

[grizzled hill]

I’m still not sure what else I want on it

Gonna replace the muzzle soon

Debating what kind of grip I should get

[slate leaf]

small simple BCM mod3

I feel like it'd feel nice onthe side of the palm too

[grizzled hill]

I’m not familiar with those what do that look like?

[frank sphinx]

A speedy boi in its natural habitat

[pure mason]

Yes

[frank sphinx]

Get an ace tech bi frost, that way it’s even more colorful

[willow thorn]

the bifrost looks like a actual rainbow lol

[frank sphinx]

wait maybe that’s the one I have

Hold up

Whoops

[willow thorn]

that looks like a brighter c or smthin

[frank sphinx]

mmm bifrost

[willow thorn]

I personally dont run any tracers, but they look sick

[frank sphinx]

yeah I normally win something else

[grizzled hill]

I just use tracers for the muzzle flash

[frank sphinx]

Which makes it like 10x more impractical

[willow thorn]

Heres my build

[grizzled hill]

Why is your barrel -2 inches

[willow thorn]

arp9 barrel lol

tiny af

build costed like 1.2k

[grizzled hill]

That’s too much

[willow thorn]

yeah, I mean the jack alone is like $300-350

[grizzled hill]

I don’t spend more than $500 on any gun I use

[willow thorn]

also pig brigs are nice, but overpriced

contours look sooo much nicer than gopros tho

[grizzled hill]

I don’t care much for gun building for airsoft

All I need is a sight and a grip

[willow thorn]

I only run that gun, so I put a ton of effort into it. only thing I might mod in the future is putting a mk18 handguard and new inner on it

[frank sphinx]

What gun u got again?

[grizzled hill]

SR 47 is my main

[frank sphinx]

Oh yeah

[grizzled hill]

I have a few others that require some money before I can run them

[frank sphinx]

i need to figure out how to fix my JAG scatter gun

[grizzled hill]

Scatter gun?

Like a launcher?

I’m only familiar with the basics

Still pretty new to this

[willow thorn]

pretty sure he means like a shotty that shoots multiple bbs

[grizzled hill]

Oh

[willow thorn]

airsoft is fun, but expensive and takes time

[grizzled hill]

I have a shitty shotgun springer that shoots 3

It broke a lot

[willow thorn]

lol

[grizzled hill]

But I tore the damn parts off that broke

And it works now

Mostly

[willow thorn]

hey, if it works it works

[grizzled hill]

It’s actually good performance wise

Only $30

[willow thorn]

nice, do you know how many fps it shoots?

[grizzled hill]

With some home “improvements” it works

[grizzled hill]

I’m not too sure but I’d place around 300 which isn’t bad for a spring that shoots 3 at a time

[willow thorn]

yeah thats not too bad

[grizzled hill]

I use it as a emergency weapon if my main runs out of battery or something

[willow thorn]

I only crank my p* to like 325 fps (field reg indoors is 350) so people dont complain as much

[frank sphinx]

^^

[grizzled hill]

My guns can’t be adjusted since they are all AEG

[willow thorn]

you can swap springs

idk if you have a quickchange gearbox tho

[grizzled hill]

I do have a gas mp7 but it’s mags are really fucking expensive so I’m too poor to use it as a main gun

[willow thorn]

gas is hella expensive too lol

[grizzled hill]

I know that after buying it

Still kinda wish I bought the AEG alternative

But I do love gas weapons so it’s a good show off gun

[willow thorn]

thats the main reason I went to hpa. tired of my aeg batteries running out fast, dealing with aeg issues, and after the initial hpa build you dont really have to maintain a ton

[frank sphinx]

Apparently the AEG mp7 broke a lot

[grizzled hill]

That makes me feel better

[willow thorn]

im a airsoft mid tier player but a bottom tier tarkov player rn

[grizzled hill]

If I had more money I’d HPA swap my SR but I’m not doing great on money and I have more important stuff to get first

[grizzled hill]

I have a 22% sr

I’m a bottom level player

[willow thorn]

your still a way higher lvl this wipe

[grizzled hill]

Persistence

[willow thorn]

I mean I started late, but just havent grinded any tasks yet

[frank sphinx]

I’d like to think I’m a high tier airsoft player but I already know the HPA guys carry

[willow thorn]

hpa needs a nerf

[frank sphinx]

Fax

[willow thorn]

the high rps is wild

[frank sphinx]

my field dosent have a RPS limit

sadge

[willow thorn]

got mine feeding 40 rps outside and there is decent grouping

[grizzled hill]

I need to get better gear before I can upgrade my guns and all that

[frank sphinx]

I’ve got 26 on my fastest AEG

i think I need to make it into a DSG

[willow thorn]

yeah the only way to top that is with a dsg

[frank sphinx]

only problem is I don’t know how lol

I mean, I kinda know

[willow thorn]

bdus are fire

[frank sphinx]

just not part comparability

[willow thorn]

heard its a headache to get working

[frank sphinx]

same

[grizzled hill]

To give you an idea this is an old pic of my shit I’ve switched my gun but the gear is the same (I know the quality is bad I took this as a joke to send to my friends)

My shit is really outdated and the mag pouches are painful to get AK mags out of

Buying an actually plate carrier soon and not the current garbage I have

On the bright side I do wear class 3A Kevlar under that so if a guy brings the wrong pistol I should survive

I’m doing a whole kit rework soon

New helmet and a plate carrier

As of now my stuff is shit

[willow thorn]

KILLA MASK

[grizzled hill]

Yes

I have an alternative

Killa mask is not used often

But that’s just what I used for the picture

[willow thorn]

full killa adidas kit would be sick

[grizzled hill]

I have some adidas

[willow thorn]

I use a pig brig for my carrier with plastic plates

[grizzled hill]

But Texas heat is unforgiving in black gear

But I do it anyway

Because I’m stubborn

[willow thorn]

Nicee

Heard texas has some pretty good fields

[grizzled hill]

I’ve only been to one tbh

Not much of an explorer

But the one I go to is pretty good I’d say

[willow thorn]

Nice

This was my loadout pre contour

[grizzled hill]

I don’t mean to be rude but I personally could not use a gun that short

[willow thorn]

Yh its hella short, but great for cqb

[grizzled hill]

Only short guns I like are mp7 p90 and the ump

Everything else I like long

[willow thorn]

Corner swinging is soo nice

Might do a mk18 handguard tho

Try out a longer handguard again

[grizzled hill]

My friend bought a mk18 because “it’s more unique then an m4”

[willow thorn]

The only advantage is all the rails it has

Makes modding easier

[grizzled hill]

His m4 has a similar rail system

So he basically bought a new gun just for the FDE parts and the shorter barrel

[willow thorn]

Also always go mlok, keymod sucks imo

[grizzled hill]

Yeah I like mlock

[willow thorn]

Its sooo much nicer

[grizzled hill]

It’s comfy without mods

[willow thorn]

Def get a repro eotech

[grizzled hill]

Keymod isn’t horrible but mlock feels better

A what? I’m not too familiar with eotech stuff

[willow thorn]

Basically a reproduction (fake) eotech

[grizzled hill]

Oh ok

[willow thorn]

Mostly for looks, but the sight is nice

[grizzled hill]

I’m running T1 style right now (so that I can run with faceshields)

[willow thorn]

Thats cool

[grizzled hill]

Riser mount helps with that

[willow thorn]

Yeah for sure

[grizzled hill]

Very thing I run is a mask so I can’t get too close to my gun

[willow thorn]

I personally dont ads a lot, unless im holding a angle

But I tend to play speedsim

[grizzled hill]

I usually go outdoors fields where the range of engagement is further

Aiming is a bit more beneficial

[willow thorn]

Yeah for sure

Not a lotta outdoor fields where I live (rhode island) but I plan on going to a few in the summer

[grizzled hill]

Can I get your opinion on something real quick? So I’m thinking of getting a new helmet with higher visibility than my usual stuff (currently run a shattered mask and a killa helmet) so I wanted to get a team Wendy exfil repro with the faceshield (I don’t like being shot in the face) do you think an exfil would be better than some other ops core alternatives?

Because the exfil would total out at like $380 for the whole set up

(That is significantly more expensive than my current headgear stuff)

Although it would be about $600 if I want getting repro

[tough oriole]

Shhh, not so loud

[junior sedge]

No such thing as a unique MK18 or M4
Or any AR tbh

[grizzled hill]

If say that the ar47 types are a bit more unique

But other than that

No unique ones at all

[grizzled hill]

Why?

[junior sedge]

Apart from those ye

[tough oriole]

you will summon the keyboard warriors

[grizzled hill]

Well the keyboard warriors cannot tell me that keymod is good

Mlock supremacy

I will stand my ground by telling them to cope and blocking them

[frank sphinx]

[uncut hawk]

I'm about to hurt a lot of people.

[mortal sage]

Laughs in 1st gen LR300

[grizzled hill]

Why is it white are you fighting in the Arctic?

[grizzled hill]

I’d say it’s unique since I forgot it even existed

[uncut hawk]

Stormtrooper rifle

It's the Alpine variant

That one is made by Kriss

[mint trout]

cringe panda bandwagon plz stop, btw i have cole n's panda patch

im looking at a team wendy bump

[steep monolith]

You can get the FMA repro of the Team wendy for super super cheaps. Apparently a very good repro too

[mint trout]

team wendy LTPs are $310

just pay once for quality not many times for chineseium garbage

[steep monolith]

he literally mentioned repro in the message

also there is no point buying a wendy unless you're getting ballistic so it doesnt matter if its chinesium or not

[mint trout]

I just need a helmet for a pvs 14 and the LTP will do just fine

[grizzled hill]

$300 for a non ballistic

$1200 for a ballistic

$80 for a repro

[steep monolith]

but theres no difference in protection difference between LTP and repro

[mint trout]

id rather pay 300 dollars for a quality non ballistic than 80 for a chinese repro

[grizzled hill]

I would too

But I’m broke

Budget cuts my friend

[steep monolith]

that makes no sense but if you got 300 to burn why not

[willow thorn]

pipe

[mint trout]

Quality>price

[willow thorn]

and yes, cole n is on panda

[steep monolith]

im just curious have you read any reviews on the FMA repro?

[grizzled hill]

As much as I’d want the official one I can’t afford it rn

[steep monolith]

i've spoken to people who have genuine and repro and theres no difference on a bump

[mint trout]

ive seen the FMA on the field at a two day op, shit broke when he fell and hit his head

[grizzled hill]

Well they are not made for durability they are made to look nice

[steep monolith]

but did they die?

[mint trout]

save your money for quality gear that you just need to buy once

like my crye JPC, not gonna buy another PC in a while lol

[grizzled hill]

Small problem I don’t have a job at the moment (well I do but I have not started yet)

[valid aurora]

fuck all that noise, just buy a $30 bike helmet from walmart and youre good to go

[grizzled hill]

Can I mount a faceshield to a bike helm?

Pretty sure I can’t

Also not as dripworthy

[steep monolith]

use more zip ties

[valid aurora]

im sure you could if you wanted to badly enough

bike helmets are 100x more drip than generic larp wendy

[steep monolith]

i get what youre saying but if you're expecting it to take serious hit then a helmet is useless after one serious hit and should be returned to manufacturer for inspection and probs buy a new one

[mint trout]

im trying to source a Zentico RK-1 for my MK18 rn

[steep monolith]

what makes you wanna put a Russian grip on a mk18?

[grizzled hill]

I want a rk1 as well but only if I get a drum mag for the 45 degree mount so I can run it better probably won’t tho

[mint trout]

im not expecting to survive stupidly bad impacts, just being able to mount an expensive NVG monocle, also i want to put the faceshield on it for indoor

[grizzled hill]

I also intend on using a faceshield but you can put it on a repro

[valid aurora]

if you have expensive nvgs why not get the real thing

[steep monolith]

thats what hes sayin

[mint trout]

helmets only stop pistol rounds

and frag

[steep monolith]

not true

[mint trout]

most*

[mint trout]

only ones rated for rifle rounds at less than 100m are the actual Bastion with the plate

[mint trout]

because tarkov larp

[valid aurora]

so whats wrong with him buying an $80 version

[grizzled hill]

So if you want to give me $300 for the real one I’m gonna buy the repro and take my chances with the cheap stuff

[mint trout]

its literal chinsesium, bad plastics and pads

i advise saving your money for good kit, not saying you should go all out and get a real crye AVS and shit

[grizzled hill]

With an inconsistent source of income saving is difficult

Plus I don’t want to spend $300 on a helmet I will use a few times a year

[steep monolith]

and remember kids you're only out to play a game you don't need to spend $300 to play the game

[grizzled hill]

Plus I need more than just a helmet so I don’t want to blow my whole budget on a helmet

[mint trout]

i use airsoft differently, i go with actual kit because dryfire and weapon manipulation, and i cant buy firearms in florida until 21 even tho im a certified LEO kek

[steep monolith]

i think if you try a repro you'd be pleasantly surprised

[mint trout]

Some repro is good, like Holy Warrior EOtechs

still 100 bucks a pop

[steep monolith]

thats cool man but most people just want something fun to do on the weekends not think that they're bad for not spending 300 on a helmet to go play in the woods a few times a year

[mint trout]

im getting sick of my magpul AFG on my MK18, i might just go get a shift if i cant find any RK-1s

[grizzled hill]

Yeah I only airsoft a few times a year and I’m more interested in the guns then the other gear so that’s why I’m more willing to spend money on my guns

[steep monolith]

sounds good bud. what rifle are you using?

[grizzled hill]

Cyma SR-47

Posted a pic a while back

[grizzled hill]

Here

Also plan on running my p90 more after I find a rig that can actually fit its magazines (they are quite large)

[steep monolith]

Thats dope

[frank sphinx]

There’s a few mag pouches on Amazon that fit

That’s where I got my vector pouches

[hexed fern]

any helmet worth using will break after one good hit

because it ain't your skull breaking instead

and that eats a lot of the impact

[hexed fern]

D3CRM w/ SMG insert will work usually

I've found that a lot of the Amazon pouches don't actually fit P90 or UMP mags

unless the airsoft ones are a bit shorter or less girthy

[tulip root]

Got this sexy beast today Glock 18c full metal on top polymer on bottom

[crimson coral]

Nice

I wish I could get into air soft in to broke tho

[frank sphinx]

it’s definitely worth it

[lyric shuttle]

Airsoft is 100% worth it

Lots of fun if you got friends to go along with ya

Although making friends as a newbie on the airsoft fields is a piece of cake

Especially here in the Netherlands

[woeful vector]

i have 6 guns and my monthy income is 800 euros

it's not that expensive

[crimson coral]

Oh

I only work on the weekends

[woeful vector]

is that why you're broke then? xd

[crimson coral]

Yea

I work at a tech company but I only work remote on weekends because I’m an intern

[grizzled hill]

Make the mag longer

100rd stick mag

[junior sedge]

"west side"

[grizzled hill]

This is why we always carry at least 1 real gun

Or a tazer

[junior sedge]

i bring real frag grenades

[grizzled hill]

That works too

[frank sphinx]

Just get a drum mag at that point

[grizzled hill]

No not as funny

[frank sphinx]

You gotta run a longsword, it’s easier to make it seem like a prop

[grizzled hill]

Genuine good idea

[frank sphinx]

Banana mag for the Glock

[grizzled hill]

I want to use a katana as my melee of choice

Killa with a katana

Or a broadsword would work

[frank sphinx]

Cursed

[mellow arrow]

i think the mag looks so bad on extendet glock mag

[grizzled hill]

Funny mag

[frank sphinx]

Nahhh

[grizzled hill]

I like them slight extended ones

But not those absurd 50rd stick mags

They are funny but dumb

[grizzled hill]

Getting the work into bit by bit

[tulip root]

Bro its a g18c 17 rnd mag wouldbe gone instantly

[tulip root]

Sexy ass mutant what brand is it I would buy one def

[grizzled hill]

Cyma SR47

[tulip root]

Performance good and also AEG or gas?

[grizzled hill]

It’s RoF is good but I am unsure of it’s performance otherwise as I’m currently out of state using it for the first time with .12 bbs 🤮 so I’m getting proper bbs and I can get back to you

AEG

[tulip root]

Thanks bc it looks segsy af if its good lmk

You know fps?

[grizzled hill]

On website says 350-370

Have yet to fact check

[tulip root]

Ok thanks lmk how it is

[frank sphinx]

why would you do this

[grizzled hill]

Desperate times

My mother bought them

She was simply mistaken

[lyric shuttle]

0.40's gang

[grizzled hill]

Well my mag isn’t feeding well I’m gonna get a new mag first and see if that works

[lyric shuttle]

i am loving my PTS EPM mags

never had issues with those

[potent marsh]

hey im buying an airsoft gun first time and i picked out an EMG Kel-Tec rifle, any good?

[grizzled hill]

I wasn’t aware that was even a thing

I’d stick to m4 or AK as a starter

They are easier to fix

Usually

Just my ¢2

[junior sedge]

The ares ones are dog water apparently, atleast internally. Maybe that one will be nicer

Check out online reviews for them both

[potent marsh]

all the reviews are just questions lmao, but it is a 5 star rating

[junior sedge]

Ah fair enough, go for it then
Would be a cool first gun. I'm more of an ak guy tho. Just don't make the same mistake I did and buy a sniper as your first

[grizzled hill]

Snipers are only viable if you have a big ass field and patience

[junior sedge]

Even as a new player tho, not really

[potent marsh]

video reviews are positive

ill buy it

[junior sedge]

Good shit

[grizzled hill]

Drippy gun

[tulip root]

Just make sure site offers refunds in case you don't like it and btw I'd stick with AEG airsoft guns that way you don't have to keep buying gas

[potent marsh]

its electric

[tulip root]

Good

[frank sphinx]

.20 gang cause I’m broke an I also have an smg

[frank sphinx]

just git gud

be an aggressive sniper like me

[lyric shuttle]

in the Netherlands we got :

Assault .30's 1.2J - Minimum engagement distance : 5 meter
DMR .40's 1.7J - Minimum engagement distance : 15 meter
Sniper .46's 2.2J - Minimum engagement distance : 25 meter

[frank sphinx]

We’ve got like 33.4m for the sniper

Sadge

[lyric shuttle]

F

[junior sedge]

So what are you meant to do withing 5m with an assualr rifle

[lyric shuttle]

BANG BANG

😂

[junior sedge]

Aaaaaah

[frank sphinx]

Technically I can lower the fps enough to make it classify as an AR lol

Then it lowers to 3m

[junior sedge]

Bang bang ain't a thing in Scotland, we just rinse em 🙏

[lyric shuttle]

same i can simply dial down my PSI to make it 1.2J and just spam the fuck out of people closer than 15 meter

[frank sphinx]

HPA is OP change my mind

[lyric shuttle]

i am never going back to AEG

[frank sphinx]

I’ve gotta take part my entire bolt assembly to change the spring

[lyric shuttle]

well on my m4 it took me 5 seconds to change the springs

[frank sphinx]

On my vector it takes a little longer

I think

[lyric shuttle]

but it took me 7 springs to reach 1.7j

first time use my gears broke

i got fed up with it

[frank sphinx]

lmao

[lyric shuttle]

chucked the entire inners out, and rammed in a Kythera engine + trigger

and i was done

[frank sphinx]

Howwwww

[lyric shuttle]

sooooooo

ez

[frank sphinx]

that’s a little more then $500

lol

[lyric shuttle]

no?

480 divided by 2 = 240 + 175 = 415

yeeted some Aliexpress shortdot on it for 50$

and a shift

and i was done

😂

[frank sphinx]

Ohh

I thought the 480 was with the discount

Mb lol

[lyric shuttle]

LOL

[frank sphinx]

I was like, holyyyy that’s an expensive M4

[lyric shuttle]

[frank sphinx]

Nice

[lyric shuttle]

yah love the m4

dmr life is best life

we got a RoF of 4 bbs per second

on DMR's

[frank sphinx]

that’s not bad

[lyric shuttle]

Semi Spam go brrrr

[frank sphinx]

I’m half tempted to buy an LMG as my next gun

but there are no PKM’s in stock where I get my guns

[lyric shuttle]

i had an A&K MK46

[frank sphinx]

I’m basically only looking at PKMs

[lyric shuttle]

i underestimated the weight after filling up the 2500 rounder

[frank sphinx]

Lol

That’s how you get built

[lyric shuttle]

sucker would be like 16 pounds, but i got nerve damage on my right arm which is my dominant one

so i would only last like a morning, for me to switch out to something less heavy

😂

[frank sphinx]

I feel that

Did you have a sling or no

[lyric shuttle]

yeah

had a nice padded one

[frank sphinx]

Main chat 1 is being too toxic so I’m hiding in here lol

[lyric shuttle]

Lmao

Im on my way to work anyways

This looks great though

[frank sphinx]

Ooh

Wait, aren’t there already AEG SVDs?

[grizzled hill]

Yes

Gas https://www.evike.com/products/39318/

Most of the AEGs are electric

[oak bane]

deep indeed

[grizzled hill]

Yes

But they are sold out

Like all the AEGs are sold out for some reason

[oak bane]

did you even realized?

[grizzled hill]

What

[oak bane]

"most of the AEGs are electric"

[grizzled hill]

Very deep

[oak bane]

yes

as I said

[opaque iris]

also their SVDS?

[grizzled hill]

If only I wasn’t broke https://www.evike.com/products/10005/

[opaque iris]

just get a NPO V20

lmao

[grizzled hill]

How much is it

I found one but it’s short

Puny

[opaque iris]

it's normal length?

or do you mean a VSSM

[grizzled hill]

It was just a body kit but the one someone was selling seemed disproportionately short

Maybe it was just a shitty picture

[mortal sage]

bruh

[grizzled hill]

I know

Very deep comments only here

[frank sphinx]

“Most of the AEGs are electric” -Reeses, The Art of Airsoft

[grizzled hill]

You know when I typed that I was trying to say “sold out” but I started talking to someone and got distracted and typed the first word on my mind

And now I look like a fool on the internet

[tough oriole]

I want a gasoline powered airsoft rifle

[frank sphinx]

sorry, what?

[tough oriole]

Did I stutter? 😉

A airsoft rifle with a two stroke engine

Like, basically a weed eater, but airsoft rifle

[frank sphinx]

where would the exhaust be?

does it need one?

Or am I just thinking of cars lol

[tough oriole]

Yeah, but think about the amount of power one could produce

[abstract cape]

thats what police should really be using

[tough oriole]

You could do a backpack variant, like those leaf blowers.

Fill the backpack with BB’s

Basically this but airsoft mini gun

[frank sphinx]

At that point it’s a flamethrower

Oh, have you seen the airsoft flamethrowers?

[tough oriole]

No

How does that work

[frank sphinx]

They r sick

I think it has the same concept as the strafer

If you know what that is

[tough oriole]

No

I’m not really into airsoft

[frank sphinx]

Ah

[tulip root]

https://www.evike.com/products/10278/

This is tempting

[grizzled hill]

I am a little jealous of the mag well

Mainly because my one has trouble using mags effectively due to bad security so you need the very specific waffle mags

[tulip root]

hmm

looks cool but I wonder if it performes good I looked up video and rpm is insane

But only showed close up shooting

[grizzled hill]

It seems decently accurate

Should be decent at range if you set the hop up a bit higher

[tulip root]

maybe I get it idk just spent $800 on airsoft ill wait a bit

[slate leaf]

Dude you're in this discord too?

Making more awful decisions

[tulip root]

DUDE you have a cringe anime pfp making more awful decisions

[grizzled hill]

Did you just call someone stupid for being in the same discord as you?

[tulip root]

Ikr makes no damn sense but thats the avg iq of ppl with anime pfps

[opaque iris]

damn, for that money I could buy myself a not even bad plate carrier setup

or a PNV 10T

[tulip root]

I have a plate a carrier with AR500 armour plates

But obv not gonna use it for airsoft

2 heavy to run around with

[opaque iris]

[atomic flint]

Ol

[opaque iris]

[gritty hare]

yeah a decent jpc is a little expensive

[opaque iris]

200 bucks isn't much

[lyric shuttle]

Looks like an wish version of a Slick

[junior sedge]

The sleek

[lyric shuttle]

This was with my F*cked Specna

Shot like a dream, but the gun quality was poor as F*ck

Could shoot like 80 meters with all inner upgrades done with Maple leaf. Had 12:1 gears cuz i could

F1 tornado High torque motor

My chestrig : Warrior assault systems

Pouches are Warrior assault systems too and some older ones from teammates

Ordered me a better MC pants from Greyshop fits like a dream and feels real nice

Took them 4 months to ship that fker

[slate leaf]

Our boy here tried to troll in an airsoft discord till he was banned

Learn context

[frank sphinx]

[sacred crest]

My suppresor was a pain to attach but it worked kinda

Yay

[frank sphinx]

yay

[sacred crest]

Also the charging handle Ak css whatever (the plus 3 ergo thing you put on your ak in tarkov) looks way better in game

Irl it looks fucking shit

"Knurled charginghandle"

[frank sphinx]

lol

[opaque iris]

just get a RP 1

for what seems to be a 74M

CM 040C i guess?

[grizzled hill]

It’s a Toyota F150

[sacred crest]

CM.047C

According to my friend

Idk mate I just walked into the gun store and asked the dude for a decent thing

[grizzled hill]

Based

[willow thorn]

Scav loadout with usec hat and found in raid m4a1, came equipped with a reflex and a stock that for some reason has picatinny rails on it

[grizzled hill]

Too professional for a scav

I want a scav outfit for various reason myself

[frank sphinx]

No dust cover AK, no stock, no rear sight

and then just wear normal clothes lol

[lyric shuttle]

Ikea chest rig

pompon

and you're set

and occasionally yell some russian breeki voice lines or pump the Hardbass

[opaque iris]

cheeki breeki memes 🤮

[lyric shuttle]

[grizzled hill]

I was thinking of getting a pilgrim bag an idea rig, Pom Pom, balaclava glasses and a shitty gun

Gun is still a mystery tho

[frank sphinx]

Pilgrim seems way too impractical

[frank sphinx]

Also don’t you live in Texas?

Or is that someone else

[grizzled hill]

Indeed

That is me

[frank sphinx]

oh god

[grizzled hill]

Heatstroke

[frank sphinx]

Please don’t wear a beanie

[grizzled hill]

Gonna save my cloth heavy shit for winter games most likely

[frank sphinx]

trust me

[grizzled hill]

I’m not dumb enough to wear winter stuff in the summer in Texas

[frank sphinx]

Good

You never know

Also why a pilgrim

[grizzled hill]

Gotta look as scav as possible

[frank sphinx]

but…

Just get a scav backpack

The 3x3 slot ine

[grizzled hill]

Sling?

[frank sphinx]

anything else is too impractical

or the sling yeah

[grizzled hill]

Or the Tbag

Tbag is probably a good option

[frank sphinx]

That’s what I was trying to say

[grizzled hill]

Yeah I forgot the name for a moment

[frank sphinx]

Same lol

[grizzled hill]

If I wasn’t fat a tagilla cosplay would be fun

Hit people with a hammer

[frank sphinx]

You gotta be built AF

To do that

[grizzled hill]

Yeah

[frank sphinx]

Otherwise it won’t look good

[grizzled hill]

Unobtainable for my fat ass

[frank sphinx]

lol

[frank sphinx]

Ak, 10 rnd mag, no stock no rear sight no dust cover

[grizzled hill]

Where would I find a 10rd cut mag

[frank sphinx]

uhh

[grizzled hill]

Drum mag no stock no attachments

[frank sphinx]

Maybe in evike?

I’ve definitely seen shorty mags before

[grizzled hill]

Idk the drum mag with no stock is a good option too

Put a green tracer unit in it for that simulated T45

[frank sphinx]

https://www.evike.com/products/25402/

Close enough

[frank sphinx]

I’ve never spawned as a scav with a drum mag doe

[grizzled hill]

I get them a lot

Is your rep shot?

[frank sphinx]

Nah

It’s like… 0.7?

[grizzled hill]

I’m at 4 and I get drum mags on like half of my ak scavs (they never have a stock)

Even before rep it was a common build

[frank sphinx]

i get VPO-209, 10 rnd mag no stock

:/

[grizzled hill]

AKM with no stock muzzle and no rear sight with a drum mag full of T45

They sometimes have the wooden foregrip

Get your rep up and you’ll see it

[frank sphinx]

maybe

I don’t run scav cause I never have space lol

[gritty hare]

I just remembered that I have a walker's razor headset now, could complete the "scav with yoinked kit" look

[opaque iris]

go to the gym

get healthy

be a king 💪

[grizzled hill]

That’s a lot of work man

Baby steps

Stole Nikita's patch

[lyric shuttle]

I mean over here we got a dude running in the Killa uniform from Greyshop + killa helmet and the Hpa Minigun

[lyric shuttle]

Im fat too lol 6'5 and 270 pounds

[dawn peak]

Photos and video or it didn't happen.

[opaque iris]

basic airsoft cringe

[oak bane]

bruuuuh

[grizzled hill]

If you’re run killa gear at least use a rpk or a pp19 with the proper builds

I just wear the helmet because it’s fun

If you’re gonna go all out

Make it right

[oak bane]

the funny part is that the Killa helmet doesn't even protects your eyes

[grizzled hill]

Glasses

Underneath

[oak bane]

it's pointless to have a face shield then

[grizzled hill]

Or you can bolt some plexy glass onto the inside of the sheild

[oak bane]

visibility : 100

[lyric shuttle]

Trying to find a pic / vid

[grizzled hill]

But I like the shield just to not get hit in the face (and I like the funny ping noise when you get hit)

But the killa helmet isn’t as restricting as you’d think

At least mine isn’t mine may have a larger eye slit

[oak bane]

if you say so

[grizzled hill]

It’s really not

[mortal sage]

Noice

[lyric shuttle]

https://youtu.be/Nk9XwvjNvnk

@opaque iris

Here ya go

Took me a bit

[grizzled hill]

Bros gear doesn’t even look that good in the thumbnail

[lyric shuttle]

The helmet was 400$

The killa armour 340

[grizzled hill]

Bro I have the same helmet and I got it for $80

[lyric shuttle]

[grizzled hill]

He really got the best part of capitalism there

[dawn peak]

They buy a legit ballistic version or something?

[grizzled hill]

And I could find better killa armor for cheaper if I really looked for it

[dawn peak]

You could make better and cheaper.

[grizzled hill]

True my stuff isn’t ballistic

[lyric shuttle]

Think he got it from Greyshop.ru

[opaque iris]

bruh

WHAT

and it's still a replica?

[lyric shuttle]

Ye

[dawn peak]

No airsoft stuff should be ballistic. My military buds who play don't use ballistic stuff. It's unnecessary.

[grizzled hill]

$340 when you can get an official one from the tarkov devs for like $200

[opaque iris]

put 60 bucks on top and I could've bought 2 real plated 6B13s

airsofters are big time ret*rded

[grizzled hill]

I agree with this only thing that I would like to get real is helmets because the real branding is always better

[lyric shuttle]

He gets sponsored by Gunfire

He has a pink minigun now too

[grizzled hill]

Sponsored to buy overpriced resells

[lyric shuttle]

[opaque iris]

he could just get a beaten up used 6B13 and painted it, he would at least have some originality then

[dawn peak]

Okay fair.

Also literally just found a Killa helmet on amazon for sub 200.

[lyric shuttle]

Im tempted to buy an altyn replica

[dawn peak]

I recommend not getting a full metal one.

[grizzled hill]

Mine was $80 with shipping like $140

[opaque iris]

and also the Tarkov 6B13M isn't a real 6B13M, real 6B13M has 2 variants the first with UMBTS and iirc different plate setup and the one from 2009 that was a early design for the 6B43

[lyric shuttle]

Nah lol aint paying 2-3k orso

[opaque iris]

well i'll see it that way at least he didn't ruin a real maska

[lyric shuttle]

We also got people running team wendy helmets for airsoft here

With the visors

[opaque iris]

the bumps are fairly decently priced

and who wouldn't use real shit for airshit

[dawn peak]

I'm, still proud of my FAST face shield.

The mandible I mean

[lyric shuttle]

I just wear a cap

[opaque iris]

not even like Comtacs?

[grizzled hill]

I plan on buying that

[opaque iris]

just a cap?

[grizzled hill]

Nonballistic team Wendy tho I ain’t spending $1300 on a helmet

[opaque iris]

1050 are ballistics iirc

[grizzled hill]

Repro for $80

[opaque iris]

Just get a fucking LTP

[dawn peak]

Even the nonballistics are pretty expensive because of branding right?

[opaque iris]

at least some decent shit

[opaque iris]

like, 300 Bucks?

depends on Carbon or LTP

[grizzled hill]

$300

[lyric shuttle]

I just wear that on the picture

[dawn peak]

Literally as much as a full AEG. Fuck that lol

[opaque iris]

and it's not branding because it's not made of fucking shitty plastic

[grizzled hill]

$80 for a repro

Broke mans dream

[opaque iris]

I also wouldn't trust some shitty airsoft mount for NVGs

[dawn peak]

I'll pay $300 when I start getting UA sponsorships and shit.

[opaque iris]

me here casually being prepared to spend like 2.5k on a vest alone

300 for a decent bump isn't much

[dawn peak]

I come from a penny pinching family, heh.

[opaque iris]

I saved like a year on that shit

[dawn peak]

All 3 of my kits are sub 1k or so.

[grizzled hill]

I’m not gonna spend more than $200 on a gear piece other than a gun

[opaque iris]

airsoft be like

[dawn peak]

Most I've spent on a single kit is like maybe $700

For everything

[opaque iris]

my current Ratnik kit should be about 1.4k USD? with the plated 45 I'm getting

[grizzled hill]

Why spend so much if you don’t plan on surviving any real bullets

[opaque iris]

my most expensive kit will be definetly my FSB setup if I did the math correctly

[dawn peak]

I just want a Laugo alien GBB.

I'll put a house mortgage on that.

[opaque iris]

because collection

and the replicas are dogshit

[grizzled hill]

If you say so

[opaque iris]

and if i can get the real deal why not

[dawn peak]

i m m e r s i o n

Was honestly pretty funny to see my military buds tear apart the non-serving guy's kits.

[opaque iris]

as I'm not only a LARPer/Reenactor and also a collector, i have a deep despise against replicas

[grizzled hill]

The shit I run is not “realistic” at all I run class 3a body armor and a non ballistic killa helmet with a mutant

If someone gives me shit for it I just ignore them

[dawn peak]

I can respect that.

[grizzled hill]

Military “bros” can fuck off for all I care

[dawn peak]

I've got a legit chunk of meteorite in my room, not some replica.

[opaque iris]

well the only thing I want to kill myself about is if I want an OG Maska 1 and Altyn R2M as well as a Tig

[dawn peak]

Also a legit dino tooth and alligator head.

[opaque iris]

becuase they can well run for about 2k+ each

[dawn peak]

So, I understand replica vehement.

[grizzled hill]

I’ve found a (suspected) baby megalodon tooth before

[dawn peak]

Oh I've got an adult meg tooth.

[grizzled hill]

But I found it

[opaque iris]

meg teeth?

[grizzled hill]

In the wild

[opaque iris]

what

[grizzled hill]

Im a diver

[dawn peak]

Okay that explains things.

[grizzled hill]

Well I’m not legally old enough to dive but I do it anyway

[opaque iris]

Diver? so swimming

and fat???

[dawn peak]

criminal.

[opaque iris]

doesn't fit

[grizzled hill]

Thanks man

[dawn peak]

Rude.

[opaque iris]

he said it himself

[dawn peak]

Still rude. There are many overweight divers out there.

[grizzled hill]

I am fat but being fat don’t mean I can’t swim

[opaque iris]

I didn't say that

but just seeing as divers are very active

it would come to sense that they would have a more lean stature

[dawn peak]

Y'ever heard of this thing called Metabolism?

[grizzled hill]

Im not a super active diver but I do dive sometimes

That’s why

I live in Texas

[opaque iris]

well as long as you don't automatically float

or sink

[dawn peak]

Ayy. Same here g.

[grizzled hill]

Diving is not as normal in Texas

[dawn peak]

Very much not.

[grizzled hill]

It’s a thing but no ocean

[dawn peak]

Bizarre you found a meg tooth in Texas.

[grizzled hill]

I was out of state smart one

I have family that lives all over the east cost

[dawn peak]

Ah, that explains it. Never said where you dove so just had to assume.

Still, awesome to meet another Texan.

[grizzled hill]

Yeah I should’ve clarified

[dawn peak]

You're good, I respect the fossil hunt.

They're all over my room.

[grizzled hill]

I have dived more in Florida than most of my other places

That’s where I found the tooth

[junior sedge]

Pretty sure he doesn't give a fuck about originality

[opaque iris]

it's an airsofter, what did I expect

[junior sedge]

That's kinda the point

It's airsoft

You need original gear for airsoft! Omg is that a replica?!?!?! You...you swine!

[proper mortar]

Pretty sure you have pools and stuff

[grizzled hill]

😐

[junior sedge]

Water doesn't exist in texas

[fallow rune]

Except

On their shorelines

[grizzled hill]

Water evaporates as soon as it’s poured here

We have evolved so we just absorb the water in the air to hydrate

[dawn peak]

Nah can confirm our shores are just barren, just sand, no water.

I literally drink powdered water.

[wooden pendant]

Just got my gun setup

[grizzled hill]

Scopes are out of my price range

Looks good tho

Although that stock is a little too thin for my tastes

[wooden pendant]

I just got it changed

Had a f2 in there but it broke so I put my jack in it

So it looks a lil diff than that

I’m trying to sell my rig but hop up is annoying lmaoo

[deep oxide]

Irl 60 rounder came in lol 850 rnds for indoor matches

[wooden pendant]

lol nice

[grizzled hill]

Wacky

[deep oxide]

yeah it looks kinda goofy buts its really not all that huge compared the ingame version (for airsoft at least). Its not cumbersome.

[glossy tide]

Is any part of that Valken?

b/c it looks like my ask kilo

ASL*

[deep oxide]

none of it lmao, its an adaptive armament PRC SBR 13"

[deep oxide]

I've wanted to get this for a long time

[tulip root]

Gay looking sniper

just get an m4 and mod it out or sr25 look way cooler

Hell get a mk47 and put a scope on it or sum

[deep oxide]

I personally think it looks good I didn't ask if its good

saying its a gay looking sniper isn't very nice

[deep oxide]

a MK47 isn't a DMR and its not a dragunov looking DMR, I specifically like the look of dragunovs

[slate leaf]

that looks so dumb, im sorry

[tulip root]

Ok well your opinion is gay therefore it doesn't matter you have terrible taste

[deep oxide]

Damn

[tulip root]

Mk47 isnt a dmr just get a long barrel one and slap a bipod/scope and boom looks sexy

[slate leaf]

idk why you are upset over it tho

[deep oxide]

You have a pepe frog in your pfp

[slate leaf]

wtf

[deep oxide]

Relax.

[slate leaf]

that just dont sound right

mk47 sniper?

[tulip root]

https://www.evike.com/products/10278/ Slap bipod/scope and get smaller mag

[deep oxide]

Mk46 does have a long varaitn but with an AK mag it looks nothing like a dmr ur on crack

[tulip root]

Bro I do it in tarkov so its gotta work in airsoft

[deep oxide]

Are you like 13?

[tulip root]

actually 21

[deep oxide]

That's embarrassing lmao

[tough oriole]

Imagine caring about a toy gun that somebody else gets

[tulip root]

Your gun taste reminds me of when I was 12 I liked ugly looking nerf guns

[deep oxide]

Yeah you're acting like your 13 with emotion issues

[tulip root]

Atleast I have the gun taste of a mature person

[slate leaf]

Why cant you guys just mix both and like a modern SVD sniper...

[tulip root]

Honestly

[slate leaf]

with keymod handguard anmd shid\

[deep oxide]

I posted a gun and you're going ballistic calling it gay. You could be polite and say "personally I don't think that looks very good" instead of using gay as an adjective at 21 years old. Grow up jesus

[tulip root]

https://www.airsoftstation.com/wg-co2-full-metal-airsoft-revolver-2-snub-nose-chrome/ just get this and slap a drum mag/bipod/scope and your good

[slate leaf]

thats just a beauty

but I prefer sr-25 myself

or a BO2 Ballista

remake

that has an audio file that plays the sound when you shoot it

[tulip root]

Honestly these 2 item could be deals if you guys are interested

https://www.ebay.com/itm/373975696527
