>>12826236>How much airshit did you do during Covid?I attended two games last summer. I was just getting back into things when my area got locked down again.
>>12826236>Tokyo Marui FAMASWhy did TM choose this is a the first AEG? Seems like the M16 or AK47 would have had the most mass appeal.
>>12826537The FAMAS is nice and boxy, it's not too difficult to squeeze in gearbox. V1 gearboxes are built like a brick shithouse as well. More conventional rifles like M16 are more difficult to put a gearbox in, and V2's are more fragile as a result.
>>12826299Damn that really sucks
>>12827285It does, I needed one more game to get my UKARA registration back, without which I can't import toys from abroad. Pic related is coming in a couple of months, hope I'll be able to get some games in before then.
>>12827905classic guns so much soul. I may buy a m1 in the future.
>>12827234Nice
>>12826537>>12827234I got the Cybergun FAMAS Evo last year. Pretty solid all round. Been wanting one since I first played MGS.
>>12828489>classic gunsTo me classic guns are everything before rails and plastic everywhere, basically everything up to the 90s.
>>12830001Pretty much this.

>>12827875Is sniping actually fun or is it just larper shit and a detriment to your team?
>>12840461>Is sniping actually fun or is it just larper shit and a detriment to your team?Maybe both.
>>12826236I thought you guys died. Goddamnit.
>>12841232Same
>>12840461Depends on the field. My field has terrible cover and snipers do very well on it.
>>12840461I don't have the patience to sit in a bush and ambush, which is where snipers excel. Also, bolt action rifles are a money pit for marginal gains.

>>12846391Agreed anon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_1U0HQ8_8Y
I feel like this really isn't the best place for us, by definition /asp/ is the best fit but it's literally just /wwe/ so nobody finds the thread and it also moves a little fast to sustain a thread like this.Would /toy/ kick us out? We'd probably get more new blood there since it's got people into models and replicas and there's also the nerf thread there for cross-interest. The board is slower too so we also won't need to pity bump as much.
>>12847793This sadly. /esg/ managed to stick around after being removed from sp.
>>12848782????????????????
>>12848902Sorry anon. Wrong thread.
>>12847793/toy/ seems appropriate, but I'm fairly sure I've seen every airsoft related thread deleted there by the jannies. I guess there's also /out/ but really /asp/ should be the most suitable, it's just full of tons of pointless threads about female Japanese wrestlers.
>>12826236Thinking of getting a grenade launcher for my AK74, DBoys or King Arms I think. Are they ever useful, or just deadweight? THey look cool, but I can easily imagine getting tired of lugging it around.

>>12849763>but I'm fairly sure I've seen every airsoft related thread deleted there by the jannies.Why though?
>>12852215I unironically think these clear guns are cool
>>12852544Agreed. Very cool
>>12853164I figured literally everyone else hated them since it's a thing that's only on cheap shitty sporting goods store guns because it's somehow supposed to be "safer" even though they don't look any less like firearms from a distance.I just like clear shells on things and seeing the internals and also I think airsoft takes itself too seriouslyI want an atomic purple AEG
https://youtu.be/MUf3-iEf-Fg
>>12852544>>12853419Fair enough, but most people get in to airsoft because of the realistic guns, and players probably don't like to be reminded they are just playing with toys.
>>12850144I personally wouldn't bother. They're a bit too bulky and airsoft grenade launchers all seem a bit weak. Those newer Airsoft innovation ones seem okay, but I think a lot of sites have banned them.
Just got a GP-25 for my wasr any tips on removing the orange paint without removing the finish underneath? Also I'll have to do some filing to make it fit.
>>12850144 see >>12858095I bought the DBoys version from airsoft gogo.com mainly just because I wanted to dress up my real ak, since the real thing is non-existent besides any parts kits of the real deal that rarely come up and charge a premium on gunbroker.

>>12858163I was looking at the King Arms one, I read the DBoys one takes proprietary shells.
>>12840461airsoft sniping is a meme if your field has joule caps a well tuned saeg can outperform a sniper easilyalso snipers tend to stay in their position for way too long, i dont see the appeal of waiting for three or four hits when you could make twenty CC hits in the meantime
>>12860332Fields around me tend to have separate FPS caps for snipers, DMRs, and then everything else
>>12860900Thank you

>>12861479True, but I'd rather do it legit, not pay for some disassembly service, and potentially still get nabbed by customs.

Is Systema dead?
>>12899201well i know 30-40 yo playing so up to you
>>12899201Anything past 15 is too old to be playing with toy guns, and the majority of players are over that age, so you'll be in good company. Airsoft is gay, but a serious good laff.
>>12899247>>12899834Well thats good to know. What are the top tier brands now? Last time I really played HPA was all the rage.
>>12899922I guess HPA is still favoured by a lot of the more serious players, otherwise I guess Tokyo Marui, LCT, G&G seem like the more expensive decent brands. But the gap is closing, it seems like there are fewer truly shit manufacturers.
>>12899201Age is a meaningless construct
>>12899922>>12900561Just remember that stock Tokyo Marui FPS is very low for western standards, 300 at most with .20g.
>>12900630depends, ireland has very simlair airsoft law to japan in terms of joules
>>12900573>Age is a meaningless constructAgreed anon.
YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO AIRSOFT, NOW GO OUT AND SHOOT.
my airsoft team has turned into a hiking / camping group since we cant play. that is kinda nice too
>>12900561Cool
>>12902981Bullshit I have seen zoomies get 50 year old boomers kicked out of games before
>>12904439Kicked out for what?
>>12900630Yeah, but the consistency is pretty much unequaled.
>>12904439That shit sucks
>>12905193for being old
>>12907939How did they wrangle that? Surely everyone's paid their money, you can't be removed for being old.

>>12854643amazing gun
>>12915052Lucky.
>>12887739It's why you have games that require midcaps only. It makes the lmg serve a purpose closer to its real world counterpart instead of everyone hosing the planet with their dsg and 4k m4 box mag.
>>12915878Agreed anon.
what do you guys think of this,Im irish so this default airsoft for me
>>12917284forgot vid linkhttps://youtu.be/P7n9zEud0Bw

>>12917291This wouldn't be great. I already have a court order stating I can't be within 20yds of groups of children under 12. I wouldn't be able to go airsofting if this was implemented.
>>12866332Nostalgia. They really capture that 2012 feel.
>>12917921pressing x on this, where can you play airsoft that no kid goes?
>>12918050as long as they don't background check him, msw doesn't allow anyone under 18 unless they jump through a lot of hoops.

>>12919357Good idea
>>12917291I both don't and do like it. I can only begin to fathom the problems with cheaters, rpm fags and even more children implementing this nation wide here in America, hobbies here are bad enough without it being easier for people to get in.
i dont see much cheating here with 1 joule limit, but we are used to it
>>12919343>less interest, and stuck on a board filled with wrastel wrastle austim.Shame
>>12920142America would have a massive problem as the pain from getting shot a shit ton is half of what keeps people honest.
>>12917291As much as there are certain aspects that everyone will hate with any given hobby, splintering it is never a good idea unless you have enough of a population to support it. Airsoft imo does not have that population for the most part. In addition at least here in the US I can foresee if this was ever implemented insurance companies would start demanding fields run at the lower FPS limits.

>>12917291The pain is part of the fun, the potential for pain makes it exciting, and the chance of inflicting it on others makes it pleasurable.
>>12913990Nice. I'm eyeing up the mancraft sdik for a TM L96. Not sure if I actually want, or if it's just lockdown boredom, and just wanting a project.

I have had all the electro pneumatic engines and just want a bullet proof system. I only run semi and a full mechanical system doesn't care about the rain. I'll probably post build pictures when everything comes in.
Yeah airsoft is cool and all but paintball has much more edible ammo
>>12935292Cool
>>12917921
I have a G&G combat machine ak47 rk47 sitting around and I was thinking of swapping out the receiver with an ak74. Does anyone know if the rest of the AK will be compatible with the new receiver? I know the stock won't, but what about the rest?
>>12937814In all seriousness it is probably cheaper and much easier to just get a new ak. CYMA variants can normally be picked up 2nd hand for pretty cheap.
>>12938067Yeah I have the Cyma aks47 that I've modified and like a lot. I was looking to build a more modern AK variant with an old gun I had but I think you might be right.

https://www.myrecordjournal.com/News/Southington/Southington-News/Southington-airsoft-store-and-range-opens.html. nice
SOUTHINGTON — When entering Fighting Force Airsoft, one is greeted by racks of airsoft guns of all shapes and sizes lining the walls, and occasionally the pneumatic hiss and clatter of the plastic pellets finding their targets in the range at the back of the shop.“This is a place where you can just hang out and have fun,” said Henry Woods, who opened the retail store and shoot house at 1 Eden Ave. on Jan. 29.Though Woods boasts an extensive offering from eight airsoft dealers he works with, and a retail floor with 30 different brands, what makes his store unique is the high tech shoot house in back. Customers can practice on a Smart Monitoring Targeting system, where they shoot at a screen which registers where the round lands, or on the Electronic Target System, which flips aluminum targets up in rapid succession. Guests are welcome to bring their own gear to try on the systems. A third room where customers can run a gauntlet of obstacles is also in the works.The store also has a technician able to do repairs and custom airsoft builds for order.Fighting Force Airsoft takes the place of the Dominic's Men's Shop, which closed in 2015. Town Economic Development Director Louis Perillo said he’s especially excited to have continued commercial interest near apartments under construction.“The businesses that are there have an opportunity to do better, because they’re going to have more people in the area to support them and more visibility,” he said. “ … there’s a saying, retail gets more retail.”The owner is pleased with his first week.“I’m so thankful for this community, because this community opened its arms to me,” Woods said. “ … our grand opening was busy, our second day was busy.”
Woods was set on the path to opening when he was hospitalized for treatment of COVID-19 at the onset of the pandemic. After he was discharged, he quit his job at a automotive repair shop to spend more time with his family. He originally purchased 1 Eden Ave. to use as a personal clubhouse for him and his friends, but his son pushed him to open an airsoft business there. The two have been playing on Woods’ competitive airsoft team for around ten years. Working with his brother Carlos, Woods and his family spent a month getting the building ready for use again, repairing the deterioration that came with five years of vacancy. A Marine veteran of 15 years, Woods not only hopes that the store can serve as an entry point for the sport he enjoys; he also wants to introduce people to self defense in a safe and accessible environment. Airsoft allows one to learn how to hold and aim a firearm, as well as to shoot and move tactically.The shop also carries military issued surplus uniforms, helmets and body armor made for airsoft which can have ballistic plates inserted for protection against actual firearms. All of his wares are available to military, police, firefighters and other first responders at a discount.“This allows you to get that trigger practice,” he said.
