airsoft

[zinc bramble]

if you want to ball on a budget

otherwise specna core or specna edge

[tribal silo]

Guys would a AKS-74U go good with a buffer tube and a FAB GL Shock?

Is looking forward to use the setup for field use but a guy said it's gonna be uncomfortable and ugly

[steel vale]

Sure as hell not getting a blowback for 200.

No good guns sub 200 either.

Best budget gun is specna edge, can try to find one used ig.

Don’t get a specna core, cheap internals and externals.

[grizzled hill]

i dont know much about m4s but i know CYMA makes decent AKs for very cheap like $150 for a decent one

nothing too good obviously

just not too bad for budget

better than average would place you at like $300-$400

average would be like $150-250

I don't look much into m4s so i can't help you too much here sorry

nah bruh im in a vc with a some guys right now

also have pretty rough social anxiety

but yeah most not great but not bad is like $200 new

could get used upgraded guns for similar price

just got to look hard enough

[outer niche]

buy an airsoft gun from a flea market for 200 roubles

[old latch]

I was doing some digging since I'm going to get into airsoft soon. Turns out, we can't have full auto on guns over 0.5J over here (Germany). Why do I live here again? Sorry but I just have to complain to somebody rn because pretty I'm pissed off...

[gleaming salmon]

well that’s interesting

[deep oxide]

hahaha

its actually comfortable for me believe it or not

[gleaming salmon]

what you can do is play airsoft in other countries like Nederlands, there they have easier laws

you can build your guns around playing in other countries

besides imo full auto is overrated, 9/10 players will always be on semi auto

[old latch]

Thats a little far though

[old latch]

Damn. I wasnt aware of that

[gleaming salmon]

yeah, imo full auto isn’t much more than for giggle factor and for showing off

[deep oxide]

also full auto is mostly used for suppressing fire outdoors, indoors its semi only most times

[gleaming salmon]

it’s a big waste of ammo, and most people build their guns out only to be fast on semi auto

[deep oxide]

fun for spraying targets

[gleaming salmon]

i use full auto when i really, really want to make sure i don’t miss

[old latch]

Well that brightens things up a lot, thanks for the tip

[gleaming salmon]

no problem

semi auto only really isn’t that bad

[deep oxide]

or if your going to try to get someone crossing and you know they're gunna cross, I'd use full auto for that purpose. make sure u dont miss

[gleaming salmon]

yeah

other than that, i’m always on semi

[deep oxide]

thats why ppl get good triggers, and comfortable triggers

not for holding it down

[gleaming salmon]

yeah

optical mosfet lets you set when the gun fires as you pull the trigger

so you can make the trigger pull as long or as short as you want

[deep oxide]

or binary triggers if they're allowed on ur fields

[gleaming salmon]

yeah

[deep oxide]

are AMAZING for semi fire

[gleaming salmon]

hey that could be a workaround for @old latch

fire twice with one trigger pull, that’s like full auto lmfao

[deep oxide]

you can get like 9-11 rps if u use a binary and jiggle ur finger

[gleaming salmon]

yeah

i can fire pretty fast without it

[deep oxide]

https://youtube.com/shorts/iOit0zhU8Zk?feature=share

(its not 2000 dollars its clickbait)

click the link discord doesn't like copyright music

[old latch]

Wouldn't two rounds per trigger pull classify as full auto, like with real steel guns in the states?

[gleaming salmon]

if you didn’t tell anyone at the field, it would look like a very fast semi auto lmfao

[deep oxide]

depends on the field like i said

[gleaming salmon]

i have never played airsoft in Germany however, so you should look up the legalities of that

[gleaming salmon]

if you spend 2k on a gun it better be fucking good

[deep oxide]

facts lmaoo

[gleaming salmon]

because a top of the line AEG is like 1k

idk how you’d even manage to spend 2k on an airsoft gun since there’s not much else you can buy

[deep oxide]

that build is HPA'd thats why its 2k

[old latch]

My trigger finger is decent so I should be fine, still gonna look into it

[gleaming salmon]

an HPA engine only costs around 400$ though

[deep oxide]

cost of tank, regulator, hpa tap kit, plus those parts are probably alone by themselves 1k

[gleaming salmon]

that’s true

[deep oxide]

those parts meaning the upper, handgaurd, accessory kit, custom barrel

[gleaming salmon]

i see the advantages of HPA but i think having a big hose coming out of the pistol grip ruins the look

[deep oxide]

some hicapa's are like almost 1k

if u go all out likea custom slide and shit

[gleaming salmon]

my 416 is around 1500$

RS surefire, holosun and Geissele handguard

[deep oxide]

comparing GBBR and aeg is bad in terms of money spent lol

you'll typically spend a fuckton more on GBBR

regardless of the platform

416 already is pricey

[gleaming salmon]

nah my 416 is an AEG lmfaoo

but yeah my gas mags are the primary thing killing my wallet

80$ per

[cerulean flicker]

Do taiwan gun not deliver to the UK?

[gleaming salmon]

taiwan gun is in Poland, so yes they do

[slate leaf]

it's the nazi killer

[slate leaf]

i hate commies
i hate tankies

[slate leaf]

but you have the ak-47 in your name

stupid moron

disliking communism for no reason

I wonder who made the "kalashni-__47"?

@slate leaf

hate also means you're out of love

[gleaming salmon]

i hate commies i hate commies i hate commies!!!!!

also hardbass is fucking cringe

[valid aurora]

you dont even have a real gun! 🤣

[gleaming salmon]

there are literally dozens of reasons why not to like communism

[regal patio]

Communism enjoyers cope and seethe and mald

[gleaming salmon]

cope seeth mald, stay poor etc etc

[blissful plume]

dannyisuggin

[gleaming salmon]

depends

what did you buy, from where, and what brands?

i see you did your research, very good

there are many others who dont

one thing you will learn is whether or not you like your face protection

ive used mesh masks with goggles, just goggles, glasses with eyeseal, and i eventually just went to shooting safety glasses

so dont be afraid to try different things there

ah ok, well thats fair

good choice of first gun

starter friendly and good internals, polymer receiver iirc but still strong

yeah

if you went to the same airsoft discords i went to, they recommended the Specna first lmao

nice

im assuming you have some way to carry mags right? since you didnt get an accompanying rig in the cart

yea good idea

pretty much my entire kit is real steel, except for the guns obv

i run a Wartech TV-102, a Russian carrier which isnt available anymore for obvious reasons

[desert current]

👀

Russians been on the low on the fields lately

[gleaming salmon]

wdym

oh nvm

yeah russian kits are at an all time low lmao

i wanna make a Ukrainian infantry kit

[desert current]

Well they don’t have a standered issue kit

They using anything they can get rn

[gleaming salmon]

yeah

there is an "official" standard issue, but you rarely see it

a lot of the SF guys just wear american brands

[desert current]

Mhm

That’s for most country’s with a budget tho

[opaque iris]

yes because shit DOUBLED IN PRICE

I've heard from multiple sourcrs that modern kit fucking doubled

[gleaming salmon]

Russian imports are also banned, so the regular shops to buy russian gear are all shut down

[opaque iris]

I still get my shit

the loophole is called serbia

[gleaming salmon]

my original source for Russian gear was belarus, russia, or ukraine, but that doesnt work anymore and i dont want to order from ukraine since their military needs it more than i do

[opaque iris]

and russian post does it automatically

I hope war is over soon so we can get spoils of war for cheap

[desert current]

Ignorant

[gleaming salmon]

ukrainian ebay is gonna go fucking crazy fr

[opaque iris]

fr fr also russian

[storm smelt]

yo anyone going to the prison milsim in PA on the 29th

[desert current]

Yes

[storm smelt]

you DEA?

[desert current]

Mhm I am trying to get an eagle mpcer aor2

Before I go

[storm smelt]

good shit man, ill be there with a couple buddies, i hope it isnt as cold as the last event

[desert current]

I love the cold don’t mind it

[storm smelt]

yeah but after being in it for 3 hours and not having a hotel to go back to was rough

[desert current]

Fair LMFAO

Are you from PA?

[storm smelt]

nah im in ohio, i got like a 6-8 hour drive to the event

[desert current]

Shit

That’s a drive

[storm smelt]

yeah but its 100% worth it

[serene grail]

heyo

i want a new handguard

for my AK's LR300

yall got any idea

coz like the gun itself looks a bit like a m4 but i wanna make it look like that more

problem is that in the handguard (the gun's one is in plastic) there are the batteries so yeah idk

[gleaming salmon]

i mean it literally is an M4

just with a piston system

[serene grail]

yeah

but you see that ugly ass handguard?

i wanna throw that away

so im just asking for ideas/support

[tacit prism]

The LR300 is such a unique rifle i'd commit to that handguard. I think there are railed versions of them though?

It's far more unique than just a regular m4

[serene grail]

yeah all im asking for basically is rails

[mortal sage]

heresy

that handguard is pure sex

[mortal sage]

yes there are

[serene grail]

this one?

if it is, rly cool but the battery must stay in it

[mortal sage]

no, talking about the LR300 handguard

Original is best

[serene grail]

where do u think I can find this kinda handguard

also i am italian and usually buy shit from san marino if this is in any way important

[grizzled hill]

earth

[subtle onyx]

11110

[gleaming salmon]

i wouldn’t change the handguard

if you have any kind of metal handguard on there, you’ll need to unscrew and remove it every time you change the battery

that fucking sucks

just keep it the way it is

if you want a gun with a more modern handguard, build another gun, but a traditional M4

[frank sphinx]

I just fucked my $500 vector

[valid aurora]

did you use lube first

[deep oxide]

Peq box works perfect, nice polymer with metal parts on it too

[gleaming salmon]

how

[frank sphinx]

No clue

[gleaming salmon]

motor alignment

[frank sphinx]

Pretty sure I stripped a gear

Maybe that

[gleaming salmon]

yeah

[frank sphinx]

I’ll figure it out tommorow

[gleaming salmon]

unfortunately it’s a vector and therefore pretty complicated to take apart and diagnose

[frank sphinx]

yeah

Might just buy a new lower, I’ve been trying to fix it for the better part of a year now

It just breaks in a new way every time lol

[gleaming salmon]

yeah lmfao

at least it looks unique

maybe you can just replace all of the internals at once with a tech

it’s the same as getting a brand new lower, refreshes the lifespan of all the parts

[frank sphinx]

Hmmm

Maybe

[frank sphinx]

Where would I even go for that?

Any recommended sites?

[gleaming salmon]

where abouts do you live? north america or europe?

[frank sphinx]

NA

[gleaming salmon]

okay, well evike has a lot of the internal parts that are pretty much standard when it comes to upgrading a gun, same with other asian retailers that offer cheap prices and cheap shipping (wgcshop, hk111tiger, ehobbyasia, redwolf) you can also go there for internals

the problem is that the Vector’s gearbox is pretty complicated and won’t be compatible with some of the regular upgrades for say, an M4

you’ll have to do some homework and figure out what parts of your Vector aren’t proprietary, and what to replace it with

if it is proprietary, you can email Krytac directly for the replacement part or find it on Evike

[frank sphinx]

Will do

[grizzled hill]

when you use full auto so much that your gun just stops working

[frank sphinx]

i swear i dont use full auto that much

[grizzled hill]

i have a suspicion you might play arknights

just a small one

[past prism]

the handguard on the left is sexy

[past prism]

Back when I played airsoft I had this problem alot, but then again my guns were being slammed into walls and loaned out to friends sooooo. I switched to HPA now, but I barely find time to do airsoft + medical complications.

[frank sphinx]

maybe

[winter umbra]

Anyone here going to Anthropos I?

[neon ibex]

how to get into airsoft

[warped hedge]

buy gun, shoot people

[valid arrow]

[mortal sage]

Thats the 1st gen handguard

And I agree

[gleaming salmon]

we are not google

[serene grail]

ait thx

[wary wing]

gun ideas anyone? anything but m4s

[oak bane]

G36, AK, Vz.58, MP5, M14, ....

[junior sedge]

Ak

[oak bane]

M4 🤢

all my homies hate M4s

[wary wing]

currently have an ak47 t1

[oak bane]

do you want something else than an AK?

[wary wing]

getting an m4 would be like becoming a default character

[oak bane]

real

[wary wing]

im just looking for another gun starting my collection

since im eu i dont have many options for order

[tribal hearth]

You checked the AA store?

[wary wing]

aa?

[tribal hearth]

I started my collection with an Rk-74

https://www.aa-store.ch/airsoft-weapons-airsoft-aeg?sort=pa&max_items=32&page=2

[wary wing]

looks good ill check it out

[tribal hearth]

gl

[junior sedge]

Rpk16

[wary wing]

cheapest 600€ 😬

[oak bane]

600 ?

[junior sedge]

Not that bad tbh

[oak bane]

I think the LCT one is more like 400-450

[junior sedge]

And tbf you didn't give us a budget

[junior sedge]

Yeah

[oak bane]

yeah I found it between 450 and 500€

[wary wing]

fair i'd say about 350€ for now if you guys find any good lmgs or anything hit me up would appreciate it

[junior sedge]

You can probably find a 2nd hand A&K LMG for that, ik a mate who got a PKM for £300

Best to keep an eye out tbh

[opaque iris]

PKP

[junior sedge]

That'll be a bit more than 350 euros probably

[grizzled hill]

Be a chad and get a mutant

Piss off the historical accuracy people

Be a chad

[junior sedge]

And put stickers on the stock

[grizzled hill]

Furry stickers ideally

Psychological warfare

Confuse the enemies

[junior sedge]

Fr

I can't wait to cover my ratnik kit with furry patches to really fuck with the elitists

And guess what
The ratnik is replica 🔥 🔥

[grizzled hill]

Paying for real ones is too expensive

I don’t know why people obsess over it

[junior sedge]

Fr

My entire kit cost 200 bucks, while getting a real piece of the kit would cost the same

[grizzled hill]

Yeah

[junior sedge]

Why would I spent so much on 1 piece when I can get the whole thing

[grizzled hill]

As soon as I buy a new Carrier I’m done with my kit rn

[wary wing]

mutant would be chad

[junior sedge]

Not to mention it looks good

[junior sedge]

Da

[grizzled hill]

Mutants require unique mags tho so you may need to make custom ones if you don’t like waffle mags

[junior sedge]

I just need the pads for my ratnik, then im buying another ak for my metro 2033 cosplay for comic con

[grizzled hill]

Neat

I like post apocalyptic stuff

I want to make like a fallout themed killa set

[junior sedge]

Saem

[junior sedge]

Ayo

[grizzled hill]

What

I don’t want a basic killa set

But I want post apocalyptic stuff at the same time

I think it would be cool

[junior sedge]

Oh I wasn't like, being negative

It sounds cool

Put like, rusty spikes in the helmet and bash speedsofter faces in

[grizzled hill]

Pretty much

As much as this sounds like a joke I would probably make it like a mix of killa helmet and the rust lord/x lord from fortnite

Neat design

[junior sedge]

Fr

Sounds cool

[grizzled hill]

Fortnite may be cringe but some of their old character design was cool

[junior sedge]

I like the raptor dude

Bought him when it first came out

[grizzled hill]

Ah I used his backpack with the rust lord

Good combo

[junior sedge]

Yah

[grizzled hill]

I really like post apocalyptic stuff so if I play the fortnite no building mode I’m always running rust lord

Never used anyone else since he was released

He’s just got too much drip

[junior sedge]

Haven't played fortnite in like 3 years tbh

I miss it a lil bit

[grizzled hill]

Current game mode removes building

Actually good fun

New movement mechanics too

[junior sedge]

Can't be bothered downloading 140gb though

[grizzled hill]

True

[oak bane]

Any thoughts on the Ares Vz'58?

[grizzled hill]

Saiga 12 better

[junior sedge]

Anything by ares is dogwater

[limber flame]

ares sucks ass

[oak bane]

lmao ok

You guys know any other brands that make vz. 58s?

[grizzled hill]

Instead of that just buy a springer mpx for $20

[junior sedge]

Probably LCT idk, they make some funky stuff

[junior sedge]

Budget?! +?+? +! +

[oak bane]

I already have springer MP40 by Double Eagle 😎

[grizzled hill]

[oak bane]

And a HK P30 too

[oak bane]

Btw this shit has a hop up and like 50m+ of range

[grizzled hill]

Shotguns are only valid springers

[oak bane]

Not funny

[grizzled hill]

But it’s true

[oak bane]

I mean fr yeah

[grizzled hill]

Or maybe some snipers are also valid

[oak bane]

But shitty springers are fun too

[grizzled hill]

Can be yes

I have a no broken $20 1911 that had like 50m of accurate range

Somehow

[oak bane]

lmao

Meta

[grizzled hill]

It would shatter if you dropped it though

[oak bane]

Yeah

[grizzled hill]

Bought 2 of them because the first one disassembled like a Lego when I dropped it

[woeful vector]

i have a cyma mutant

[grizzled hill]

Which one

[woeful vector]

cm.650

[grizzled hill]

Ok ima be honest I don’t remember which one that is

Magwell or no magwell?

[woeful vector]

this one

[grizzled hill]

Ah

I have the other one

[woeful vector]

wich other one?

[grizzled hill]

#airsoft message

Up there

It’s annoying because mag security is pretty poor so I need specific waffle mags in order for it to feed correctly

[woeful vector]

u can fit a drum in that one

[grizzled hill]

It would need to have a custom top to it

Normal AK mags don’t feed

[woeful vector]

really?

[grizzled hill]

It’s really dumb

Yeah

Requires waffle mags that are slightly larger to fit correctly

[woeful vector]

mine feeds all mags with no problems, but i cant find a drum for it

[grizzled hill]

So I’d need a custom drum mag but I’d really like to get one but I don’t know where I’d get them or how much they’d cost

[woeful vector]

normal molot drum top part is too short

[grizzled hill]

Yeah I’d get that if it was big enough to fit in mine

Mag buy it anyway

I do have an ak if it doesn’t work on the mutant

So I’d still see it used

[woeful vector]

after testing u whould have 20 spare mags for that ak xD

[grizzled hill]

Yeah

I’ll just have to use those waffle mags

Or customs ones which are not exactly easy to get

[woeful vector]

did u try changing the hopup chamber?

maybe thats why

[grizzled hill]

Bro I don’t know shit about airsoft guns

I just like normal guns

So I collect airsoft ones

I don’t see how a hop up chamber would make my mags fit up higher and more secure

[woeful vector]

bcs thats where the bbs go from ur mag

[grizzled hill]

Yes but I believe the mag is the issue

Not the chamber

I could be wrong

[woeful vector]

u r new to airsoft?

[grizzled hill]

I’ve been around it for awhile just because of the guns

I know nothing of the internals though

[woeful vector]

well u mention u like colleting guns

dont buy a svd

[grizzled hill]

But it looks cool 👀

[woeful vector]

or any ''exotic'' replica

[woeful vector]

yeah i have it xD

[grizzled hill]

Oh well uh exotic guns are my main interest

[woeful vector]

mine too

[grizzled hill]

I have p90 mp7 and mutant

[woeful vector]

i dont like playing with m4 and ak bcs everyone has that

[grizzled hill]

That’s why I use a mutant

[woeful vector]

but it's extremly hard to find parts for my guns

[woeful vector]

mutant is great, it's just a ar-15, parts are the same as in m4

[frank sphinx]

Is a vector considered “exotic”?

[woeful vector]

well,it's considered expensive lol

[grizzled hill]

I want a scav H if I get one more final gun

[woeful vector]

only krytac makes it, they are the only ones that have a permit

[frank sphinx]

“One final gun”

[woeful vector]

yeah,right

[grizzled hill]

I only have so much money

[frank sphinx]

my vector was my “final gun”

Then I bought 4 more lmfao

[woeful vector]

the mutant is my most recent one, all together i bought 8-9 lol

[grizzled hill]

I’ve only attained guns I plan on getting for a while (with the occasional mystery box)

My mutant was from a evike box of awesome

P90 mp7 and ak were planned

Also my F2000 was from a box

[woeful vector]

novritsch p90?

[grizzled hill]

I got the cybergun because it’s cheaper

[woeful vector]

i imagine it's also hard to get parts for it

[frank sphinx]

Ehhh

[woeful vector]

lmao

[grizzled hill]

My buddy has a vector too he uses it as his main

He replaced his scar with it (critical mistake)

[frank sphinx]

yup

[woeful vector]

mistake?

[frank sphinx]

Wait no

Vector go brrr

[grizzled hill]

Scar better

[frank sphinx]

Vector>Scar

[grizzled hill]

Although he has scar light (mid)

I’m getting a scar heavy (cool)

[frank sphinx]

so a 16

[grizzled hill]

Yes

[frank sphinx]

I don’t like the 16 that much

The 17 just oooks better

[grizzled hill]

17 better

Bigger=better

[woeful vector]

marui mk17?

[grizzled hill]

I’m not sure yet

Still looking into it

I don’t know what’s good or bad

[woeful vector]

my friend bought it 1 month ago

[grizzled hill]

I mainly go for looks

💀

[woeful vector]

it's his favourite gun

definitley woth the price

[grizzled hill]

I can’t recognize internals to degree if what’s good or bad

[grizzled hill]

How much is it?

[woeful vector]

it's a marui

it's good

[grizzled hill]

Cybergun is only worth $150 and my buddy says they are pretty good

I’m on a budget here

My guns don’t see field often

[woeful vector]

marui is a no no then xD

[woeful vector]

600 euros i think

700

[grizzled hill]

I can’t afford that

Not even close

I have like $300 in bank right now

[woeful vector]

then why are u loong for new guns? xD

[grizzled hill]

Because I can

[woeful vector]

looking*

[grizzled hill]

I need a better rig first tho

Priorities

[woeful vector]

is there a hpa expert here?

[woeful vector]

if u need a rig for the mutant be sure u buy ak rig

[grizzled hill]

Well I also need something for the p90 mags that are fucking massive

P90 mags are much bigger then people seem to think

[woeful vector]

i know. my friend had one

he just put 2 in his pouch and they didnt fall out

[grizzled hill]

They are very tall and my current rig wouldn’t fit them

Stuff is above my big mag pouches

Might get a plate carrier so I can get multiple different kits to swap out

[woeful vector]

that whould be good

[grizzled hill]

I just don’t know what to get

Not well versed in this gear/airsoft area

Im still considering outing a salvo 12g suppressor on my mutant

Because I can

[tough oriole]

Yes

[grizzled hill]

No

[tough oriole]

Actually yes

[winter umbra]

Anyone here going to Grimnir Tactical Anthropos I?

[limber flame]

maruis are almost never worth the price

unless you actually live in asia

theyre severely overpriced

[grizzled hill]

Overpriced as in everywhere?

Or overpriced everywhere but Asia?

[limber flame]

this

their only reasonably priced guns are their GBB's

mostly

[gleaming salmon]

TM is generally not worth it

unless MWS

[neon ibex]

whatts a good startert gun

[junior sedge]

G&G cm16

[neon ibex]

270 my lordt

[junior sedge]

How? Can get em for less than 200 in the UK

[gleaming salmon]

do you know what currency exchange is

[junior sedge]

Yes I do
Assuming he is American, it wouldn't even be 200, as they are £145

[gleaming salmon]

all american sites have them for 200

i wouldnt even recommend that gun anyways

Specna Edge instead

10$ more gets you a selection of different variants, a built in mosfet, upgraded internals and a metal receiver

CM16 is a POS imo

[junior sedge]

Atleast it ain't a lancer ig

[placid timber]

The bear patch is like made for the templar gear vest

[junior sedge]

Now put rus flag on it

Looks cool btw

[placid timber]

Hmm its not a good time to put on a rus flag😅

[gleaming salmon]

BEAR flag isn’t russian

it’s a fictional group

shows you like video games but not russia

[opaque iris]

Standhogg?

[opaque iris]

BEAR was made in conjunction with the Russian government similar to Wagner Group so yes it is kinda russian

[gleaming salmon]

okay but it’s a literal video game faction lmfao

[opaque iris]

It would still count, tbh I don't like the eft pmc kits in general

[gleaming salmon]

showing your love for a video game faction doesn’t mean you endorse what the country that founded it ingame has done irl

[gleaming salmon]

no it literally does not

[junior sedge]

Z mfers fighting the urge to say something like "I endorse it" or sumthin

a guy in a discord server i’m in said a russian kitted player had a Z painted on his helmet

he got kicked off the field for the day

[opaque iris]

anyway, I hope we can all agree that Wagner Group > BEAR

[junior sedge]

Good

Deserved

[gleaming salmon]

no wagner group is full of dickheads

[opaque iris]

that's the reason why

[gleaming salmon]

so fuck them lmao

[gleaming salmon]

agreed

[junior sedge]

I got flamed for using my ratnik kit, while wearing a red armband
I was on the red team 💀

[opaque iris]

Also they have funni sledgehammer patch, if yk yk

[gleaming salmon]

my field switched to sky blue and yellow armbands

to represent ukraine

unfortunately, blue and yellow teams were fighting eachother

[junior sedge]

Blue vs red for us Scottish blokes

[gleaming salmon]

but it was neat nonetheless

[opaque iris]

a friend of mine got flamed cuz he only used a red armband, with a not even Army kit

[junior sedge]

Ooft

[gleaming salmon]

getting flamed for an armband is stupid, it’s just a colour

the russians could’ve picked any colour they wanted

[junior sedge]

Can't wait for my next game tbh, I love the hate I get for my Russian kit
Shows people are just idiots

[opaque iris]

If I would do it i would get in mad trouble as well

But I can just say my unit doesn't operate in Ukraine

[gleaming salmon]

if i had upgraded my AS VAL i’d be using it right now. i have a real PSO-1 for it

[opaque iris]

damn

[gleaming salmon]

no russian kit though

[junior sedge]

Lucky
AK104 rpk thingy for me

[gleaming salmon]

fun

heavy though

[opaque iris]

I am simple, I play AK 74M

[junior sedge]

Very

[gleaming salmon]

airsoft AKs have a lot of weight to them

my AK-104 that i sold weighed around 9lbs

my HK416 is like 7

[opaque iris]

mine weighs like 6-800g less than an original 74M

[gleaming salmon]

yea the thing keeping me away from AKs is how heavy they are

if i get another AK it’ll be a PP-19

[junior sedge]

Not to mention the guard on mine was polymer and switchrf to metal, adding moar weight

Oh and the drum mag lel

[opaque iris]

Damn if like 3 kilos is heavy for you go to the gym

fr

[junior sedge]

Arm burner, but I love it

[gleaming salmon]

carry it at a 7 hour event and then talk to me

[junior sedge]

With the shit I put on it, it must be hovering around 8kg ish

[opaque iris]

get a sling

[gleaming salmon]

get a life how about that one lmfaoo

[junior sedge]

💀

[opaque iris]

nah

I already spent so much money on Kit i'll keep doing it, fuck having a life

[gleaming salmon]

it’s not like i don’t use heavy ass guns anyway. my fuckin VAL weighs 11lbs with the PSO

i could use that gun to destroy my other guns

[opaque iris]

110 lbs

[gleaming salmon]

typo

[opaque iris]

np

my vest will be like 22 lbs if not more with plates

but I gotta save some money for them

[junior sedge]

My granit plates heavy bois

[gleaming salmon]

i just use rubber training plates to keep the shape, but i only bought one of them so the front of the PC is heavier than the back

[opaque iris]

You got Maket 6As or 5As?

[junior sedge]

Not a clue, I just know they are granit lol

[gleaming salmon]

idk the difference. i have the swimmer cut sized ones

[opaque iris]

5As are 2.7 in size 2, 6As are 3.1 kilos

[junior sedge]

Ah it'll be the 6a

They are around 3kg each

[opaque iris]

ah so a 6B43 Maket Plate

[gleaming salmon]

i run the TV-102

[opaque iris]

I run a Gladiator

[junior sedge]

Always wanted one, can't get now cos Russia

[gleaming salmon]

you can try Belarus

[junior sedge]

6B45 for me, love it

[junior sedge]

Oh true

[gleaming salmon]

actually nevermind belarus is blocked too

[junior sedge]

Füh

[gleaming salmon]

it’s a solid plate carrier

i want to try a JPC 2.0 though

[junior sedge]

For sure, ik someone who owns one
She praises it with her life

[opaque iris]

the 6B45 is exquisite, but Fort is still a upgrade and Just looking at the parts made the Quality obvious

[junior sedge]

I wanna buy it but ain't no way she will sell it

[gleaming salmon]

a JPC or a TV-102?

[junior sedge]

Wartech

[gleaming salmon]

yeah

[junior sedge]

102 yah

[gleaming salmon]

i like it, the russians seem to know what they’re doing when designing plate carriers

[junior sedge]

And choosing the price, I'm still blown away by their cheap costs

[gleaming salmon]

a lot of their stuff is just a copy of american concepts, and yeah it’s about 50% cheaper than the western stuff

[opaque iris]

They copy a lot but depending on Brand they upgrade the system

[junior sedge]

This is why I will only use Russian shit, so much cheaper

[opaque iris]

A lot of people Prefer the AA TacTec over the 5.11 one

[junior sedge]

My whole kit was 230 bucks

[junior sedge]

Ars arma good

[opaque iris]

p much

[gleaming salmon]

i use a Russian PC and belt, but everything on the gear itself is American

ESSTAC Kywis, HSGI Tacos, Blue force gear

[junior sedge]

I simply don't use American stuff because I don't like Americans

🙏

[opaque iris]

[gleaming salmon]

i like americans they are very good at designing stuff to kill people

[junior sedge]

Ong

[opaque iris]

I dislike most US Carriers at it seems most don't make Kevlar extensions

[junior sedge]

Will delete that because ik the mods are sensitive

[gleaming salmon]

the taliban are good at killing people as well as themselves

[opaque iris]

or when they do they are pretty garbage

[gleaming salmon]

the americans can do it from an air conditioned room 500km away

[junior sedge]

With an xbox controller

[gleaming salmon]

imagine dying like that

in the middle of the desert, wearing a bunch of rags, to a drone 5km up piloted by a dude sitting at some desk sipping a gatorade

[placid timber]

You can say that yes😅

[gleaming salmon]

not everything that has a dick flap is a strandhogg lmao

[placid timber]

It did his job many times saving my dick from getting hit

[uneven eagle]

Ah yes, the ultimate cock-blocker.

[desert current]

LMFAO

[opaque iris]

It had molle minus and Tube shoulders lmao

but the platebag doesn't seem like 1 to 1 a strandhogg

[young pecan]

does anyone know where i can find the green pattern trench coat some players wear?

[slate leaf]

Can't wait to get everything .. going to take a while

Ordered a 16.5" Cyma Sr25
R hopped ZCI barrel and a visionking 1.25-5x lpvo

I think for the value it'll be pretty deadly.. this child like purchase spree being promoted by my UDR-15's mosfet dying and the only local shop refusing to repair it

[grizzled hill]

Speed soft=cringe

No running in the laser tag arena

Although maybe you don’t speed

Just running in the pic

Need more info

[limber flame]

no dye mask = no speed gay

[grizzled hill]

Fair

[slate leaf]

Capturing motion makes for a nice picture which is probably why he picked it lol

I sure as hell don't simply walk up to my next area of cover

[grizzled hill]

I do

Assert dominance by showing no fear or urgency

[hexed fern]

assert dominance by dual-wielding microguns

[opaque iris]

bruh are you playing in fucking sweatpants

[frank sphinx]

speedsoft things

[grizzled hill]

Sweatpants are valid

That’s what I wear when it’s not 10000 degrees outside

What else is he gonna wear?

Spray paint his legs black

[frank sphinx]

a uniform

BDU’s

[grizzled hill]

No

Too expensive

I’m not a soldier I’m a civilian

I am in this war for my own entertainment

[frank sphinx]

you can get cheap ones off Amazon for like $50

[grizzled hill]

That’s way to much

[frank sphinx]

Bruh

[grizzled hill]

Sweatpants cost $20

[frank sphinx]

and they break a lot faster

[grizzled hill]

Not if you just don’t fuck them up

[frank sphinx]

if you play airsoft normally sweatpants will probably get ruined in a few games

also, they catch on EVERYTHING

[grizzled hill]

Maybe you just suck

[frank sphinx]

and also no protection

[grizzled hill]

🥱

Sweatpants gang for life

[frank sphinx]

nah

I’m poor but even I can afford a uniform

[grizzled hill]

I don’t have a job

So I can’t afford shit

[frank sphinx]

Get a job then

I also don’t have a job lmfao

[grizzled hill]

I would like a job

But I am currently unable to get one

[frank sphinx]

Why?

[grizzled hill]

I’m 15

I require parental permission

And my grades are shit

Those don’t go well together

[junior sedge]

Imagine

Just kill your parents??!!

[grizzled hill]

Rather not

[junior sedge]

Wuss

But yeah sweatpants are good

I wear em for the gym

[tough oriole]

Jeans were invented for just this sort of issue

[old latch]

After digging for 10+ hours, that's what I ended up getting. Happy about opinions but it's already in the mail. I'll end up probably getting a different pistol grip (likely a 3d printed HK PSG-1 style grip) and I'll exchange the foregrip with a canted Zenit-like grip that I modeled myself, the design will be up on Thingiverse eventually

[frank sphinx]

I saw someone on Reddit make a camera that shoots 40mm

[junior sedge]

Saw that too

Fucking love it

[opaque iris]

Stop being poor then

You really gotta be poor af to not be able to get a simple bdu

They are like what? 80 bucks?

[opaque iris]

F im Fünfeck

[hexed fern]

I need one

[silk hound]

@grizzled hill
For the love of god please type full sentences, every time I check in this channel I just see a wall of pink that's just all you.

[grizzled hill]

No

I like typing like this

It separates my thoughts

[mint trout]

[hexed fern]

it's enormously annoying and immature is the thing, m'dude

[grizzled hill]

Maybe it is

[hexed fern]

it ain't a maybe, it really is

[grizzled hill]

I’ll try to lower it down to longer more thought out sentences just for you

[mint trout]

Omg guys

I type

Like this

[hexed fern]

like the thing about discord is you get time to think between your messages and use full sentences

[grizzled hill]

Look that’s just how my train of thought it I don’t try to do that

[hexed fern]

have you considered that you might have ADHD

[grizzled hill]

Doctors said i didn’t not sure if I believe them tho

[hexed fern]

doctors don't know shit 'bout neurodivergence

[grizzled hill]

Maybe so the main thing was they did a attention test but I thought it was a fun challenge so that may be why it was incorrect

[hexed fern]

again they don't know shit about it

you tend to come across as someone who definitely has something affecting train of thought coherence

[grizzled hill]

I never think about 1 thing my thought process is very erratic as far as I’m aware

[hexed fern]

which, yes, means you're usually sending a flood of short partial thoughts

[grizzled hill]

People also say I talk very fast about a bunch off different topic in a short span

So maybe there is something with that (for like 1 in 10 people being neurodivergent you’d think they’d know more about it by now)

[hexed fern]

the problem is they like binning people into a handful of easily-diagnosed things that they can just throw ritalin at and ignore the rest of

[grizzled hill]

Well I understand why I wouldn’t want to be the one dealing with a bunch of mental bullshit I’d rather deal with the interesting stuff

[hexed fern]

and also Freud fucked up psychology as a science for decades

[unique geyser]

Fuck speedsoft🤣 I just dont have “Tactical” pants and or a shirt to match

[grizzled hill]

Based

[frank sphinx]

that’s ok then

[hexed fern]

tactical pants comfy

big pockets. lots of them.

[frank sphinx]

to be fair you don’t need up using like 60% of them

[opaque iris]

combat pants > tactical pants

[frank sphinx]

combat shorts>combat pants

[opaque iris]

ew

[hexed fern]

honestly no idea which I have, just that they have huge pockets and built-in kneepads

[unique geyser]

Not sure why it matters though🤣 Ill play in some shorts and a tank top 🤣 ill just wait till I ship in to properly kit up 💀 its a hobby not a fashion show 😭

[grizzled hill]

^^^^^

[opaque iris]

shorts defeat the reason of combat pants

as they have no kneepads

[unique geyser]

Oh god

[hexed fern]

tactical skirt is the best anyway

[unique geyser]

“No kneepads” waa

Who cares im getting plastic bbs shot at me

[hexed fern]

kneepads are so nice for
uh
not fucking up your knees

[grizzled hill]

Knee pads are about as necessary for airsoft as mock ammo is

[opaque iris]

this tbh

[unique geyser]

Ive played with and without

[opaque iris]

and you're not standing all the time are you?

[grizzled hill]

Protection for anything other than the eyes is useless most of the time for more casual stuff

[unique geyser]

Can slide with and without? They do add a lot of comfort but not necessarily necessary?

[opaque iris]

well I at least run around and do the real life equivalent of BF4 pro players, tactical parkour

[unique geyser]

But if I was going milsimwest i understand your POV 100%

But im just cas playing rn, I am buying stuff for my milsim kit though

[opaque iris]

well I preferably do milsim

[hexed fern]

it's far nicer to not have to care about where you take a knee if you do

[opaque iris]

so I'm taking a lot into consideration

[grizzled hill]

Why not just go to war if you want it to be so accurate?

[opaque iris]

because I don't want to die?

[junior sedge]

Ik yall are chatting rn so sorry
But my "ak12" looks kinda like ak12 now and I like it

All it needed was foregrip change

[opaque iris]

bruh airsofters really do have brain lags sometimes

[hexed fern]

also if you've never dislocated a kneecap you don't understand how great having protection from that while you're running around is

[grizzled hill]

Cannot relate at all if I was 18 I’d be preferable in a war right now

[unique geyser]

This is the camp pattern im going for my new loadout

[junior sedge]

Tasty

[unique geyser]

Yall will be disgusted by my gun but I love it 💀

[opaque iris]

ahh the edgy kind

[hexed fern]

eh, could just be depressed

[grizzled hill]

No I just don’t like being alive and as long as I’m not the one to pull the trigger I think that’s morally acceptable

[hexed fern]

...yeah sounds about right

[opaque iris]

Universal Cringe Pattern, although UCP does look not bad it's pretty useless as a camo

[hexed fern]

I like EMR digi flora

[opaque iris]

I love it too

[valid aurora]

whenever i see UCP all i think of is the fat stolen valor fuckers

[grizzled hill]

My favorite camo is like a flannel shirt or something

[valid aurora]

cause thats all those mfers wear

[unique geyser]

Theres literally anime bitches on it 💀

[opaque iris]

free titty or no free titty on there?

[junior sedge]

I hate

[unique geyser]

I think there might be a couple nipples hanging out

[grizzled hill]

I wish I had your confidence

[opaque iris]

I still have to get some hentai stickers for a mag

[unique geyser]

I surprisingly got hella good comments and hella people took pictures of it

[grizzled hill]

Where do you get it??

[unique geyser]

And imagine seeing that gun for a split second before getting shot 🤣🤣

My brother has a printer that can print onto sticker sheets

[grizzled hill]

Can I come for a visit?

[unique geyser]

So I just manually cut out the sticker and placed it

Only for toe pics 💯

I do have some backup skins though

[grizzled hill]

I’ll gift you the battle pass for one of those stickers for my mutant or AK

[opaque iris]

the most chad ukrainian

[unique geyser]

Yessir

[grizzled hill]

Plum cringe

[hexed fern]

bah, stickers are only on removable parts

[opaque iris]

so you have chosen death

[hexed fern]

nothing on the receiver

[grizzled hill]

I only like pink on my AKs

[hexed fern]

then get magpul for it

[opaque iris]

bruh and I thought I was childish at my teenage years

damn

[grizzled hill]

I’d actually try that if someone gave me one I’m not spending that much money

[hexed fern]

or maybe fuckin' hogue, think they still make pink

[opaque iris]

I still need a upper handguard and stock for a plum kit

[grizzled hill]

You may not be “childish” but you still a bit of a bitch at times

[opaque iris]

I'm an asshole I'm aware

but idc tbh

[hexed fern]

I want a kedr so bad but apparently the only one used
uh
real receivers

so no US availability

[grizzled hill]

Airsoft kedr would be sick

Not sure where I’d get one or if it even exists

[opaque iris]

i know they made some airgun kedrs from like 98% of the original gun

[junior sedge]

Real?

[opaque iris]

yes

[junior sedge]

Holy fuck

This really is a modern war huh

[opaque iris]

It's not uncommon to put some shit or write some shit on a gun

soldiers are just normal people like we are

[junior sedge]

Imagine the Russian dudes reaction when finding this dudes body and looking at his rifle

[hexed fern]

I mean I also want a real kedr but the odds of that here

[junior sedge]

That's the scary part

[grizzled hill]

Hentai gun is what I would want in war

[opaque iris]

they would probably pog as afaik Hentai n shit is pretty popular there

[grizzled hill]

There’s probably like 12 in all of america I’d assume

[hexed fern]

not like those are gonna be on Ukrainian ebay like the rest of the Russian gear

[junior sedge]

Yeah it is lol

My Lithuanian friend has a shit ton of hentai stuff

[opaque iris]

tbh if that plum set is going to get sold I'mma cop

[junior sedge]

I want plum, but I have no ak for plum

[opaque iris]

same I would need a fixed 74

[hexed fern]

zero actually, they're post-AWB and nobody has parts kits for making semi-only ones

[opaque iris]

or a triangle folder that can fit on a 5.5mm pin

or the one my ak uses

[grizzled hill]

So just get a full auto one

[junior sedge]

I could with my Roman AK im getting soon but I don't wanna remove real steel stuff

[opaque iris]

most Russian imports are blanks only iirc

[hexed fern]

spoken like a kid, that

[grizzled hill]

Well I’m aware the licensing is a pain in the ass but if you want it that bad

[hexed fern]

the books for MGs are closed so I can't get one

as in, there is no legal way for me to have one without an 07 or SOT and an import license

[grizzled hill]

Who said legally

Sometimes things gotta happen

[junior sedge]

I'll buy you one if you get me a bag of éclairs

[valid aurora]

just get the licenses, ezpz man i bet you can go to the DMV and be back home for dinner!

[grizzled hill]

Exactly

[hexed fern]

more reasonably I want a grach

[junior sedge]

SAME

[grizzled hill]

That’s much easier to get

[junior sedge]

Raptor make one

[hexed fern]

because it's probably cheaper than getting a VP70

[junior sedge]

Oh you mean real mb

[hexed fern]

oh a real one not an airsoft one :P

yeah

[grizzled hill]

Or if you can’t buy a kedr then just make one I’m sure someone can do it for you

For enough money

[hexed fern]

more on the nerfy side of things than airsoft so far as non-real-steel stuff is concerned

[junior sedge]

Füh, oh well
But yes raptor makes one if you were peeking at airsoft ones too

And they are amazing!

[hexed fern]

cheaper to fuck around with and easier to homebrew

[junior sedge]

You can probably cave someone's head in with it and it'll fire still

[junior sedge]

Ah gotcha

Wish I was like that instead of buying military shit but oh well
My wallet suffers

[grizzled hill]

I think we should just abolish the ATF at this point remove gun restrictions and make America “great again”

[opaque iris]

there's the MP446

[junior sedge]

But who is gonna shoot my dog?

[opaque iris]

Viking

[grizzled hill]

Me

[junior sedge]

😭

[opaque iris]

those are supposed to shoot rubber bullets tho, so you would need to mod it

[hexed fern]

one would assume you like your dog

[grizzled hill]

I have 3 dogs and I resent one of them

[slate leaf]

has anyone here ordered off evike through an airsoft store?

[junior sedge]

da

[grizzled hill]

Why would you do that if you can just order it normally

[hexed fern]

presumably either shipping costs (reduced if it's a big order from a store) or not wanting it to show up at home?

[slate leaf]

They supposedly work with them as a dealer, so if anything happens within warranty period they can handle the repair/decision to replace. Instead of shipping to evike and going through a lengthy process that is

[grizzled hill]

Idk evike if I email them about a broken gun with warranty they’ve just sent me new ones relatively quickly not repairing them

[slate leaf]

One guy was super helpful and said it wouldn't take longer than a weekish
But then one of their younger employees shoves me off saying it'll be 2-3 weeks for it to arrive

leik wtf

[slate leaf]

damn..

[grizzled hill]

I’ve had a new gun mailed to me within a week when a demo ranch gun broke from Evike

[slate leaf]

I'm really starting to not like this kid in particular

[grizzled hill]

Thanks

[slate leaf]

that's my exact gun that broke wtf

Expect I got it from a BOA..

[grizzled hill]

Yeah our stock broke basically as soon as we got it so they sent us a new one

The stock snapped and took the battery wire with it

[slate leaf]

Yeah, took a few months. didn't actually break until I took it to a game

Mosfet got stuck on full auto even if on semi

Local shop refuses to repair the EMG F1 guns cause they all have that issue

[grizzled hill]

They seem like they may just lack durability if they have so many issues I might look into it

[slate leaf]

Well, guess my experience wasn't great. It was a good deal though

Like, the bucking was soaked in lube which I was told was supposed to be dry

[grizzled hill]

That’s no good

[slate leaf]

the electric blowback spring broke pretty early. But those little things aside it was running pretty well

Decided to just get a new gun I could build into a DMR. I'm a big fan of the SR-25 so that's what I'm getting lol

[grizzled hill]

I also love the SR25

But I’m short on cash so ima keep using my mutant until it snaps in half

I use the knights armament mutant so if feels pretty similar to a SR25

[slate leaf]

Brother got the Cyma MK-47 as well funny enough

[grizzled hill]

technically it’s a SR-47

[slate leaf]

Bigger number = more power?

[grizzled hill]

Maybe

[slate leaf]

Looks so good..

[opaque iris]

the sights seem a little fumbly

I hope you get some good quality irons

[grizzled hill]

It does look quite nice I’d like to get a Svd or svu but I’ve heard that they are only questionable in quail it’s if you don’t spend a ton on a expensive one

[opaque iris]

the Cyma SVDS is pretty good I heard

[slate leaf]

I forget which brand of MK47 my friend got in a box of awesomeness, I think it was cyma? could be wrong.
But I've never felt smoother yet tighter feeling mags on an airsoft gun before. It was super nice

[grizzled hill]

If they are the same irons on the SR47 they are actually quite accurate and don’t wobble

[grizzled hill]

I go to mine in box of awesome to so but yeah it’s CYMA I’d bet

[slate leaf]

I have knock off MBUS sights that are decent enough. But my main will be a 1.25-5x VisionKing LPVO

[opaque iris]

I'm currently planning on either getting a PP-2000 or SR 2M, cuz I don't like the MP-9 that much for a Shield carrier kit

[slate leaf]

This should be shooting 450fps ish with .20s
I'll be using .32 though

And 50ft minimum engagement distance at my field iirc

[slate leaf]

Good tight feeling gun. excited to see how mine feels

[grizzled hill]

I try to keep me stuff around 350 so I don’t get touchy with any rules

[slate leaf]

Indoor?

[grizzled hill]

I do outdoor

[slate leaf]

Alright same

[grizzled hill]

But I like getting close in my fights

As I suck at aiming

[slate leaf]

The way this field works is they have different classes and just slap a colored ziptie on your gun depending on the type/fps

Ahh

[grizzled hill]

I’m left eye dominant so I have to close my eye to look down optic and it sucks

[slate leaf]

I've got my M&P 9 for that

[slate leaf]

damn dude.. same
And it's like a night and day difference

I was trying to figure out why I couldnt use both eyes with my red dot

until I tried left handed

[grizzled hill]

Left eye dominance is just awful

[slate leaf]

Left eye + right handed that is

[grizzled hill]

I write with my left hand but I do everything else with my right

Never figured out why

Sorry for texting in so many erratic messages it’s a habit

[slate leaf]

I remember figuring out I was left eye dominant during archery lessons. but didnt think much of it until now

Don't be, I'm doing the same

Saw a video on it for firearms instructors. They suggest teaching students to shoot left handed as it's easier to learn then it is to train your right eye

So I guess I'm just going to do a lot of backyard drills

[grizzled hill]

I can’t stand left hand grip

[slate leaf]

Its shouldering the gun that feels god awful to me

[grizzled hill]

Same

[slate leaf]

man

Work calls, but best of luck with that XD

[grizzled hill]

Well I shouldn’t be here right now I’ve been in school all day

[opaque iris]

we all hate it but we have to master the double shoulder shooting

[grizzled hill]

True I will probably need to learn it eventually

I do plan on joining the US military since I have no other plans for my pathetic future

[opaque iris]

if you want

just know that veterans are treated like ass

[grizzled hill]

I know I never said I planned on leaving

If I die I die hopefully if I live I get my shit together because as of now I’m too pathetic for me to accept myself

[opaque iris]

n*gga you're 15

get your shit together

go to the gym, do sports, educate yourself

[grizzled hill]

I’ve given up before I started
