fuck, male signs didnt work :DDDDThreadly topic:What airshit piece of equipment gave you the most fun?
What are the pros & cons of buying expensive equipment to play airsoft as a hobby? The Doom Guy/Eternal helmet is $400+, but idk if it's worth buying or even safe.
>>187474it has to be anzi+ rated
Quit posting about your faggy plastic helmet retard, third time you've posted this shit.
>>187474You've answered it yourself by saying that you do not know if it's worth buying or safe. No money will get your eyes back once you lose them anon.
>>187463best gun I ever had. it's a heavy mofo but I love it anyway.
>>187463Out of all my guns probably my TM MP7 that I got second hand, cheap and perfect for CQB. Even works okay outdoor. As for equipment I'd say my Dye mask. Not having to worry about fogging is a god send, even if it does make me look like some faggy speedsofter.
>>187530patrician taste desu>>187536I'm considering getting dye mask myself at some point. Would be nice to have decent face protection and no fogging.
>>187514Touch grass.
Aww, lil' cocksucker's not using his cute little username for this shitpost, too bad. Throw your shitty plastic hat in the trash dipshit, but most importantly, quit posting your retarded bait question in every available thread you ass-douching mary.
>>186726>>186704 here, I just got a battery for the gun, the recoil worked fine and the bolt moved as intended. It"ll probably be good in a range.
>>187539Dye masks are a bit pricey but I'd say it's worth it. One drawback is that it limits your headwear options. Caps and boonies won't work unless you wear them like a retard and helmets require a lot of modification. To Florida man in the previous thread asking about clothes for hot weather I'd recommend Russian style sniper suits. It's the only thing I can wear during the hot and super humid summers here in Japan.
Not sure if I'll ever be playing with a gasmask on but just in case I decide to replace the original glasses with airsoft rated polycarbonate glasses.>>187530Heavy is good. Thinking about getting myself an M240 but I keep hearing very mixed opinions on the S&T one.
>>187463This, feels good picking of people who think I cant shoot further than 10m>>186726 #(me)>>187569Sounds like you got a good deal then.>>187530Ditto, but with an SGR12 instead of an M240
>>187572I'm also considering Virtue vio as alternative.
>>187582I love airshit shotguns myself, but moreso single barrel onest. agmanon
>>187462Is gel blaster talk (Basically only QLD and Malaysia) allowed here as well?
>>187463My Tippmann M4, because it's very loud and has good range/accuracy. Tippmanns are also easy to work on so I got to experiment with a decent amount of upgrades to find what really works.
>>187594Well, I do not mind, but I do not think a lot of people will contribute (airshit's legal in most of the world)
>>187604I want to get into hpa at some point, but never have enough of money to dump at that without feeling like retarded fiscally irresponsible consoomert. poorfag
Got a dominical game this week, on a wooded spot, will take pic
Was anyone else at MSW Kharkiv, my platoon had like a 60% drop rate lmao
>Finally getting the correct model grenade pouches after two years>Don't even use hand grenadesThis hobby isn't worth it at all.
>>187859Was the weather shitty or were they just redditors? >>188023Correct for what?Updated my AK with some knock off zenitco. Want to change the pistol grip and stock as well sometime in the future.
>>188083Weather was fairly wet but it was just some retarded shit too, one squad in my plt dropped bc they brought just a tarp for wet weather and no rain jackets lol
>>187462Noob who has never played here.... How do I get started? Where do I play? I know absolutely nothing. QRD of what I need to get going?... On a different topic, how accurate is airsoft, how much would these skills transfer to real firearms?
>>188136>How do I get started? Where to play?Check the pastebin. Usually people organize events via facebook, but you can also look up local airsoft/paintball fields (paintball fields do often organize airsoft events as well). You can rent, borrow stuff from someone else if you just want to try it out.>How accurate is airsoft, how much would these skills transfer to real firearms?Not really that much, in fact, it can teach you bad habits, though obviously you can learn a bit of manual of arms in case of ggb's.
>>188136google *your country* airsoft and there are usually some links, otherwise most stuff are usually organized on Facebook so you kinda have to be on that.
>>187789My poor AK got his selector fucked but I managed to repair it fairly well today. We got teamed up with a team that looked like cold war mercenaries lost in africa and had a lot of cool stuff
Can I get a QRD on green gas vs co2 for pistols? Is there any practical advantage of one over the other? Aside from the ways they're refilled/cartridges, that is
>>188460CO2 generally is more efficient and can also be played at lower temperatures (something you can partially do with certain GBB pistols by using higher pressure gasses, generally referred to as red- or black gas). The issue though is that some CO2 pistols might be shooting too strong for some sites, depending on local rules. If you seek practicality a gas or CO2 non-blowback-pistol are equally decent, if you want a blowback the CO2 generally is more lenient when it comes to cooldowns. There also is quiet a few GBBs that have both gas- and CO2 magazines available for them so you can try out both, preferably with a chronograph at hand to make sure the CO2 one does not shoot too strong.
>>187666I saved for quite a bit and hadn't played in ages when I got a Tippy in 2017. The nice thing with HPA Tippmann is you never have to remember to charge and pack your batteries before the game day and during/after the game day you top off air in your tanks so you're ready for the next game day or test firing. Find an HPA system you absolutely love, then buy. They are too expensive to collect like pokemons.
>>188467you also forgot to mention that since CO2 runs at a much much higher pressure than gas it will wear a lot on your pistol compared to GG, and some will outright break if you use CO2 mags. Stuff like TM hicapas with plastic slides will explode on the first mag, same goes for the AAP-01. Common problem with even CO2 ready guns is that the nozzle cracks because they are still made from plastic and when they slam into the hop unit with much more force due to CO2 they crack
>Vietnamese law enforcement raided a compound containing "military-grade weapons">It’s all airsoftEvery. Time.

Are 50 round WE glock (intended for use with aap01) mags any good?
more themed airsoft!!!!!
>>188728yea they are much better than the action army extended mags (you should run it HPA tho)
>>188772kys
>>188773No
>>188090how fucking hard is it to pack at minimum a $10 poncho, and throw extra pairs of socks and underwear in a ziplock bag?>>188141Google for local fields, you may have dedicated fields, or you may have paintball fields that also run airsoft. Best bet is to do a rental for your first day if possible.>QRD of what I need to get going?I would say rent first, if you enjoy it come back here with a budget and we can link some stuff. But in general the bare minimum is gun, battery, bbs, eye/face protection.>how accurate is airsoftDepends on how much you want to spend. Within 100ft most anything will be accurate. The further you go out the more you are going to spend on setup and BBs. Realistically 150-175ft+ you are looking at body sized accuracy with stock guns.>how much would these skills transfer to real firearms?Unless you are playing at a CQB field almost none imo. It can teach some basic weapon handling and reloads at best.>>188695>>188713>>188718You pretty much can just Explosive Enterprises videos, as Catgut is one of the few people who actually runs does proper testing.

>>188731>themed airsoftWhat does that even mean?
Good morning, larperators.
>>189153airsoft with a theme nigger
I don't give a shit about themed or themes or whatever. Any bb war opportunity where you can down a beer or two and sweat it out is great
>>189285this is good but i want to do it dressed like a nazi, shooting americans with my friends
>>189286can't argue with that
>>189286It certainly doesn't get much better than this
>>189355so how many of you guys are unironic nazis. I'm always reminded of this when i see nazi larpers https://youtu.be/PiLVAz-Jczg

>>189806>waffle SS units working towards the extermination of the local McDonalds menu, 1943, colorizedThe koppel cutting into that one guys lard really ties this together.
Huge thanks to the anon from last thread who suggested a somogear PEQ box. It's exactly what I'm looking for in terms of durability, though it means I will probably have to rewire the battery to the stock to use a LiPo since it can't store batteries like the cheap shitty boxes.
>>189834Standard M4 configuration. The upper required a lot of careful hand filing, but it fits perfectly. Is Holy Warrior ever going to release a 551 replica?

>>189806>rare footage of four American soldiers about to infiltrate German units in 1944>The plan failed miserably for unknown reasons
I know its just one guy making fun of it, are you really so obsessed? The kits are really good and were using actual guns so were already more true to history.
>>189855I am sorry lardanon, but anyone larping as Waffen SS/marsoc delta gravy seal gooncags while looking like Paul Blart will be laughed at, no need for a single person to commit to that, since it is only good manners. First you /fit/ and then you /fash/.
>>189858>then you /fash/.this all just for fun weirdo
>>189855I don’t care what y’all believe in because you will never be any kind of majority, but the irony of believing in Arian supremacy while looking like someone that would have been sent to a certain summer camp in the 40’s is pretty funny
>>189855Post time stamp with gear or I'll just keep assuming you found these plus sized pictures online and using them to troll. Fucking Snackstaffel.

>>190034>seasonyou don't airshit all year round?
>>190043i slipped in december and my kneecap came out of place, so i wasn't really ready until now. Still gonna take it nice and easy for a while.
I have been saying it for years and I will continue to say it, your grooming (hair, facial hair etc) and your fitness are part of your impression (if you are an impressionfag)
>>189845Didnt know the SS had a special division
>>190067My motivation for losing weight was that I didn't want to be a stereotypical airsoft fattie.Now I'm a normal airsoft loser.
>>190176
>>189827>>189830>>189845>>190067It's seems to be a thing across the board with reenactors, and it's the one thing that always ruins the verisimilitude of any historical impression; all the kit is legit but the soldier is 24st. Nature of the beast though, as most reenactors are middle aged men.
anyone here from europe (specifically belgium) have experience with ordering replicas from outside the eu from places like redwolf?I want to order a TM KSG12 since none of my local stores have them in stock, and wont for the foreseeable future, but from what Ive read online it seems hit or miss wether customs lets them through or not.
>>190250>https://kicbbgun.com. tw/en/news_02.php?id=1Not Belgian, but link above in Taiwan states they don't sent to Belgium due to postal issues. You could risk it, but why not just wait for somewhere in EU to have it in stock.
>>190260>but why not just wait for somewhere in EU to have it in stockI asked the clerk at my local store when they would be back in stock and he said: 'in about a month or so'that was 4 months agoand I cant find any other store in Belgium, or eu for that matter, that has them in stock either
anybody here play any airshit in Japan? I'm visiting for a month with a buddy I used to play a lot of airsoft with back in high school and thought it could be a fun little throwback
>>190306I do. Lately I've been pretty busy and haven't had much time to play but I might be able to help you find some fields. However many fields here now require you to understand Japanese or have a translator (thanks to some retarded Filipinos).
>>190327Damn, that's unfortunate but totally understandable. I wouldn't really want retarded foreigners that can't even understand the rules running around. My JP is like N4 level at best and my buddy knows nothing, I'll probably just save it for whenever my next trip is and my language skills have improved further
>>190364If it's your first time visiting you'll have tons of other stuff to do and see anyways. If you don't already know there are a bunch of airsoft/military shops in Akihabara to check out. With the weak yen you can also buy Tokyo Marui guns fairly cheap (if you're willing to deal with some extra hassel of bringing it back home).
which one of you did this out at Desertfox?
>>190045Twig or lardass?
>>190446AAP-anon so neither
>>190430Could be anyone, there are a lot of sickos out there.
>>190430That was me. They were on the wrong comm channel.
>be me 10+ years ago>bought 32R Crye AC's and MR Crye AC top>barely fit into it since I was a FAT FUCKER>barely fit into the pants today since I lost a lot of weight>can't figure out what camo to wear nowwell just fuck my life, would it be cringe to just run rock climbing clothes + MC plate carrier? I'm not buying Crye's againthis is just for cqb, I'm not doing milsim
>>190524doesn't matter what you wear as long as you get out there and have fun. People that give you shit over gear worn at non milsim events aren't worth associating with anyway
>>190524sell cryes and you will have more than plenty for MTP surplus kit.
>>190524Go surplus store shopping/Ebay hunting and you might find some cheap multicams.
>>190524USA's Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) aka Scorpion and Britain's Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) are good substitutes for MultiCam®©™. Chinese MC is usually a terrible substitute, but who really gives a shit.
>>190524The only thing that can really be cringe in airsoft is your attitude.That and your play style (speedsofters get the rope)
>>190611>That and your play style (speedsofters get the rope)do some cardio fatty
>>190527>>190611Why people give a shit so much about what one uses/wears in airshit? Is it just fat commando cope to bullshit people into getting expensive stuff because they did too? I don't care about what others wear, but even that in some cases seem to be enough to make some people in airsoft circles online seethe.
>>190618i can understand it in a milsim setting where it can break muh immersion, but giving people shit on a sunday game for incorrect gear is autistic behavior, and the only people i've seen do it is that failed military type that either never got in or finished basic training and now think's he has some kind of authority on people. Most likely also overweight
>>190618I get mad about farbery in shit like ww2 games or milsims with a set theme, otherwise it's just funny to laugh at retards in amazon gear falling over
>>190619I can understand that at milsims too, it's just plain retarded and pointlessly hostile anywhere else (and it seems to happen a lot, online, because faggots will never say that in the face). I had one guy seething at me because I called his expensive but very generic and uninspiring multicam loadout as just "its fine ig" while at the same time liking cheaper, more creative and as utilitarian loadouts. I swear gearqueers are even worse than spedshitters they spend ungodly amount of time seething at because they can move in the game unlike them, despite spending more on shirt alone than on average speedshitter's aap build lmao
>>187463To be honest it's hard to choose.If I had to choose one in particular I'd say my VFC Mk.17 GBBR.The best jumpscare tool due to the heavier bolt mass, really fucking loud in closed spaces and performs exceptionally well especially considering the Joule limits in my area.
I have acquired more AAP’s
>>187463WE Desert Eagle
>>190650Can you acquire anything interesting?
>>190664i got a zhukov AK and a KC02 coming, but idk what you find interesting
>>190666Anything that isn't basic bitch and performance oriented. Red ano is cringe. What are you, 12?
>>190725why can't airsoft be about performance? Like if i buy something and upgrade it to shoot better what's wrong with that
>>190833gay and boring
>>190864so it's more fun to run around with a shit gun?
>>190865
>>190867sounds like cope for not being able to tech but alright
>>190865You know it's possible to make a gun that has good performance but doesn't look like it's from ToysRus?
>>190898Yea? I’ve build many of those as well. Currently I have my DE MWS, VSS and the UTR45, and others I’ve sold over time. I just like tinkering
ngl I kinda fuck with it. Now I just gotta install my jack in it
>>190964the front sight is backwards, retard
>>190970yea is, didn't notice. Whoever had it before must have done it like that
>>190833You're on the path of performance above all else. This is also the path paintball took, and paintball is now a shadow of its former self. People saw the endgame and said no to the double trigger 30bps electroguns with motorized hoppers where it's all about dumping $100 of paint per game because that's WINNING! Now the painballers trying to claim back the sport are stock players with 10-rnd tubes and 12g cartridges.
>>191007If I only cared about performance I’d own a ESG and nothing else. Yes I want my stuff to shoot well because getting kills and winning is fun for me, but I don’t think saying that I only care about performance is right. I just don’t care about realism, but just what I think is cool and fun to play with.
>>190666KC02 fucking sucks
>>191061yea from i read the whole thing needs rogueworx parts to be good, but i think that you can fit in a real ruger stock with slight modification is neat
Just got my E&L t191. Pretty cool gun. It's loud as fuck, and kinda heavy for an airsoft gun (This is my first GBBR so idk much about these things), and you gotta use a paintball coil for it. Kinda neat that you can use co2 canisters if you don't like HPA but they're expensive as fuck so I doubt anyone is going to.
>>191255Fucking neato, how many shots can you get out of one co2 canister?
>>191260From what I can find online, like 160 or so with a 33g co2 canister. It can also accept 12g canisters.
>>191255Tried it yet? Seen people say the groupings ootb are awful
>>191270I tried it a bit and yeah, not the best grouping, but my hpa tank barely had any air in it since my local airsoft place couldn't fill it up, so I only shot it like 30 times on semi auto maybe. There's a video where a guy improved the grouping by just putting an oring somewhere but I haven't tried that yet.
>>191270Also the inner parts are covered in a shit ton of lube/grease, will need to clean that up
>Got my airsoft gear spread all over the guest bedroom>Life is good>"Hey we're coming up north for Easter. Make sure to prep the guest bedroom!"Fuck
>>187463my local group lets me bring a foam larp sword (nodachi) and a repro vant shield, it helps me get my cardio (im a big guy)
Anon, show me your gun carpet right now.
Brand new to airsoft here. Just bought a M4 platform. I want to put a sight on it but I have never played before. Anyone got any recommendations? Do I even need the sight to really work? Can someone educate me on the topic? Thanks!
Anyone else have USP here?What has the experience been like, and what possible upgrades would be good to have, if needed?
>>1917731. Might be wise to play a game before investing more money into the sport, honestly - but that's just my view on the matter2. Most cheapo-repro optics should work on AEGs (with Aimpoint clones generally being preferred), but if you live in the US a Sig Romeo-MSR is literally $95USD and will likely beat the piss out of almost all of them should you want something a bit more capable of handling a good whack or two3. You don't strictly *need* an optic, or arguably sights in general, but having some form of sighting system that's zeroed for your gun's BBs and hop-up does mean you have to fire less shots on average to hit your shit, which generally makes you more likely to emerge victorious4. Aside from what I've already mentioned, red dot results may vary if you have an astigmatism - a good way to tell if you do is to look through one at an in-person store and see if you have any visible starbursting or similar effects, since that will affect how you use it; worst-case scenario (i.e. in the event contact-lens/glasses correction isn't enough to fix it), you may have to invest a bit more money into a prismatic optic, with the cheapest nonmagnified options being considerably more expensive (at which point, checking the used market for the optic you want may be wise)
>>191785I have a KWA USP compact. Nice little gun. Pricy mags, and they all started leaking to various degrees. I believe I've fixed them, tho. The proprietary rail sucks. I've switched over to an AEP. It always feels like a waste to gas up 4 mags, and at the end of the day, never use them.>>191788For airsoft, you just need to quickly get the red blob on target. If you have a pricier gun that can hit long distance, then sure, get a good optic to match.
>>191773Generally you can't do much wrong with a reddot if it is properly zeroed, although you could just learn to use the ironsights to aim your first few shots before guiding by bb flightpath. That is a skill that kind of translates to every airsoft. Especially the old carryhandle-style M4/M16 rear sights are surprisingly pleasant to aim with and allow for quick aiming with both eyes open once you learn how to. For bigger distances a magnification comes in handy to properly track your bbs path and adjust accordingly, but that only really becomes relevant at 50+ meters.>>191785I have the KWA USP C. Decent backup and sits really well in my hands for how small it is, since the grip still is rather big. At some point the trigger got a tiny hairline crack though, leading to the trigger sometimes not triggering up until the point the trigger outright broke. Replacing that trigger was the fumbliest and most annoying thing I had to deal with related to airsoft I think, since there is a ton of tiny parts in the trigger assembly you need to align perfectly when putting it back together.
>>191724>exclusively cool gunsHPA trannies please take notes
>>191805>>191812Damn, KWA sounds like a handful, Marui offers USP C as well as an option, however plastic is the eternal annoyance when it comes to realism.But I remember them hyping up them being first ones to receive some mechanical upgrade in Marui products, so in gameplay perspective that sounds goodFeeling the same about the mags though, at least they don't need to be gassed each time when not in use if working right. Also the mag prices be it KWA or Marui, GOD!Local store demands 50 eurodollars for one mag, fucking rip off
>>191916rent free
>>191930>however plastic is the eternal annoyance when it comes to realism.It's usually more realistic to have a gun that just works compared to the metal options which explode internally soon after first use
>Your item is back in stock.>This item is sold outDidn't even last four hours.

Anyone here know of a good sniper spring that's about 18 cm long? I need a new spring for my mosin but I'm starting to get the impression that no standard sniper spring is gonna fit into this piece of shit.The max spring I can fit in is 18 cm long and around 1.2-1.1 cm wide. 1.3cm doesn't fit either.I've tried to fiddle around with piano wire and make my own springs but it only gave me a 20 fps increase with .40g BBS, so now it shoots at a pitiful 320 fps. How can I increase my fps? Is it even possible?

>>191724xir yes xir. I've got a few others coming in this weekend as well as a WE M14 I ordered this past weekend. AirsoftGI is taking their sweet ass time with it though.
bolt action gaming?!?!?!
>>192064How is it playing with a bolt action? I'd like to buy one. Seems interesting.
>>192056>WE M14My condolences
>>192112It'll be fine, I know it's got some issues but I'm happy to work on it. I've got a real steel M1A anyways so it won't be unfamiliar :)
>>192118a friend of mine had the RA tech lvl3 and it was still shit
>>192111I guess it's miserable, I had spring SVD a while back. Every single branch was my enemy and there was no victory in sight.
>>192111at a regular airshit game with HPAniggers and other creatures? complete garbage, suffering even.In ww2 events where almost everyone is bolt action gaming? 10/10 this is the only airshit I do now
>>192154where do you find these events?
>>192064>>192154Mein neger>>192111Like already mention it's mainly suffering at normal games. You have to play extremely cautiously/sneaky to not get raped by anyone who can shoot full auto. Only advantage I noticed was that people don't hear when you're shooting at them so even if you miss you might get a second or third chance.
Haven't played airsoft in over ten years. Found out there's a group near me with 70ish active players at weekly outdoor events. Thinking about getting back in. I have gear, but I got rid of my old AEGs years ago. What's worth a shit now? Is there a decent mostly-metal AR for under 300 bucks right now? I'm tempted to go GBBR but can't justify spending 600 bucks minimum on a rifle and 4 magazines.
>>192212Buy a CYMA Platinum from Taiwangun
>>192216Whatever I end up getting, it's going to be from the local shop because they put a lot of effort into running events around here. Their prices aren't bad compared to online retailers either.
>>192154That sounds really fun, I like pistols/shotguns only games because you have to rely on mobility & stealth and not overwhelming firepower from an HPA or AEG rifle.

>>192344Only if we can enable flags so I can filter all Americans
>>191724Yes with the LK58 sesh
>>192371I knew someone would notice. I normally have Romeo 5 on it but I couldn't find the protector for it and I'm not gonna risk having it shot to shit. First I put a shitty eotech replica but adjusting that one is almost impossible and when the batteries started dying I just switched it for the ugly reflex sight that was actually working.
>>192406
Got drunk and ordered 350 eurodollars worth of parts from asia to an autism project to perfect the USP, and it still isn't enoughAre old gen E&L AR's decent? They have the honeybadger clone that tickles my taint enough to consider getting it as my tacticool modern gun
>>192461what USP build? You could have bought a VFC USP Match for that money
>>192056>Ak-74u and SVUSexy, is that the Cyma SVU? I thought about buying myself a Cyma SVU, although I heard mixed opinions about it in the past.>>192403Actually it is a classic army SA58 I bought like 7 years ago used that I completely overhauled recently. Short stroked 13:1 gears, high-torque motor, MOSFET and all that. Unfortunately the charging handle snapped in half because I made it drop forward one too many times. Luckily you can't see it when it is in the forward position.
>>192465From MaruiVFC is way too properitary for my liking, so the potential for it far more limited
>>192467JG iirc, bought it secondhand. Haven't had a chance to play with it. the previous owner had a rail mount drilled into the two-piece handguard (bad) with the current scope on it. ergonomically, the tape is necessary cuz the tiny grip cut into my thumb knuckles
>>192056Gun floor update. Now I have the WE M14 coming in tomorrow as well as a VFC SCAR H I'm waiting on too.
Why do all the people who get overshot in edgy speedsoft videos never retaliate back? If someone did that to me, I would at least hammer them with my gun or just beat them down as hard as I can. Maybe Americans are really a bunch of weak faggots who call the police for everything.
>>192708sure you would
>>192710Anyone who isn’t a fag would
>>192708everyone in airshit is a pussy, spedsofters and the rest alike. And also if something like that were to happen, none of them would upload a video where they get their ass kicked.
>>192708>get hit by plastic BB>beat kid into a pulpTruly the least edgiest of edgys.
>>192708Now show me your punisher skull tattoo
>>192722It’s disrespectful. Plus faggy privileged white kids need an ass beating from time to time >>192727I have no such thing
>>192793>privileged white kidsbased nigger
>>192793>Ass beating>Not just outplaying then in a silly fucking costume while they spend hours and hours on getting their tactical larp just rightLoser
>>190833Because airsoft is not a game or a sport it is replica firearms meant to imitate real guns as closely as possible while still not being a real gun under japanese laws. It is worse than paintball for objective judged competition play and people who try to take it there make the overall austistic shitshow worse because airsoft isn't an actual sport.
>>192984>Because airsoft is not a game or a sportairsoft is a game tho. The only people who believe otherwise are the hardcore milsim military rejects that only go to MSW or other equally autistic events
>>193000go back to speedball, faggot
>>191998nu gön day
>>193023
>>191724>>192056>>192644Primo fucking taste, boys.
The silverback MDR v2 good to go now?
>>193000Lmao wasted trips. Its not a game, its literally designed and made like hobby trains but for japanese gun autists. Its not a sport its not a game and you only speedsoft because you are a poor who can't afford paintball or you are not good enough to get on a local speedball team.
>>192984Not only is it an actual sport, it's an extreeeeeeeeme sport!
>>193045I hope this meets the standard of quality too. WE is close enough to my M1A... and the VFC feels really fucking good
Going to a game tomorrow but it's gonna be in high 20s (c) and wearing long sleeves and other protection is heeeelll, soon it will be in 30s sigh
>>193168ITS NOT A GAME DUUUDE ITS A MILITARY SIMULATION
>"My airsoft field is closing for public games">"That's sad. Did they give a reason why?">"No, although I suspect it might be due to the player that got stabbed by another player"That would do it.
>>193161Man, when is VFC gonna release a proper M14. Hope they do a DX version like the FAL
>>193000trips spoke the truth>>193104for sophisticated, intelectual white men of EVROPA it is just a game. Speedshitters want to make a sport out of it while in the meanwhile playing with everyone else and thinking they are hot shit for owning 12 year olds after spending 9000 dolans on a garden hose with carbon tube and furry penis sticker, while milshitters try to make it sound like some esotherical experience of army larp where they only check the brands and labels more than /fa/gs and consoom and try to convince that it's only valid form of airshit instead of fucking off to serve in military.
>>193049Every time I see the AK5 I get tempted to get one but the weight and price tag keep putting me off. >>193278Pretty based. I love larping in historical games but all try hards deserve the rope.
>>187530>>187463My field has a "only full sized LMGs can full auto" rule, and for the people who can drop their money on an lmg, it's fun as hell. I used my friend's for a few games, and it's a blast just trudging along at 75 percent speed, hosing down cover and screaming RAAAAAAAAAH lol
>Watch ragebait edgy airsoft channels on youtube>They're all stereotypical "speedsofters" who overshoot little rental kids and blare suicideboys like it's 2018>They're sociopathic limp-wrist faggots that couldn't win a fist fight to save their lives, so they hide behind polarstars they paid for with mom's credit card>Get mad>Realize I keep giving them views because their ragebait is working, and I am indeed getting baited into ragingIs it wrong to succumb to their rage bait? Nah, I'm just gonna keep being mad at them.
Decided to go to a CQB for the first time ever, even wore one of those fetish muzzles, this thing was annoying, but it actually saved me from quiet a few nasty shots to the face. Shit was surprisingly fun. Me and my buddies thought we'd get completely raped by those HPA hicapa speedsofters there but we actually won a majority of the games. Really interesting to play a 3,9kg airshit and having to continuously switch between shoulders to take corners better, makes one appreciate the time wasted in the gym for a change. Also it was around 30°C inside the hall so it got really hot, by the end of the day I was drenched in sweat. I learned some shortcomings with this setup as well, like having the mags inside your pants pockets works fine if you are not wearing gloves and are generally not under a lot of pressure, which generally is the case in CQB though. But usually I do not really care about quick reloads since I mainly play cold war era gear anyways.So how was your airshit weekend anon?
>>193328Bretty good. Had fun
>>187536I'm considering buying the mp7 tm for my birthday, sounds like a ton of fun for cqb
For ~500ish euros, what's the best buy smg/AR that doesn't require immediate upgrades besides perhaps a scope and more magazines? ASG CZ Scorpion Evo 3 perhaps?
>>193393Lct pp19.
>>193328Awesome, used my Double Eagle SPAS 12 and Y&P M9 at a MOUT/speedball field and shredded. Even polarstar dudes weren't spared because they kept respawning and advancing in the open.
>>193405>LCT
>>193393Scorpion is overrated. I’d buy a CYMA plat MP5, and install the Begadi MP5 hop chamber and leave it at that.
>>193393Out of the box you could grab yourself one of the platinum line cymas or the new double eagle ARs that supposedly are very decent for their pricle.>>193405>Lct pp19.As someone who has an LCT AK I wouldn't suggest anything they sell for a play ootb gun. The bodies are very good, internal qc sucks though as many people will tell you. I played 2 games with mine ootb and it regularly jammed in semi, the shimming also was incredibly bad. At this point the only original internal part in mine is the gearbox shell. If you want to go russian I heard the Arcturus airsofts are pretty playable ootb.
>>193453oooooh, sugoi
>>193000Cry
>>193306i love larping myself desu and it definitely has it's place in airshit, but tryhards will go out of their way to bitch about people attending casual sunday game for the fact they wear jeans, hoodie and cheapest aliexpress chest rig just because they can't fathom the fact that it can work despite of not being of /fa/ggot brands like crye or any other tactishit and that others might not be interested in blind consooming of a gear they don't need.
>>193466everyone is a consoomer
>>193453Mine had zero problems OOTB. Arcturus has microswitch triggers that are kinda iffy and at least their older stuff were not compatible with all gearbox parts.
>>193424Yes.>>193453My LCT AK has been great ootb. It feels like many chink guns compensate for lack of technology by just putting a stronger spring but mine shoots great even though it has a weak spring to comply with Japanese law.
>>193453I thought cyma's were entry models (platinum even), I'll look into it as they are available here more than other brands. Think specna arms is now becoming the most popular after cyma. What should I also get, an additional battery, a different spring for when I need lower/higher fps/J, a few midcaps, a mag loader and a decent scope, should be good to go gear wise?I'm also looking into summer camo, or not even camo, something that looks good for airsoft that can be worn in high 30s celsius temperatures here because my camo is hell with all the running and sun blasting even now when it's high 20s.
>>193601>something that looks good for airsoft that can be worn in high 30s celsius temperaturesSee >>187572
>>187572>I'd recommend Russian style sniper suits.Did you get your hands on an original, or will a Chinese repro from Ali do?
>>193638depends on what you want to do. do you want to make an FSB impression kit? if i see you with an ali leaf suit i will bash you over the head and steal your (fake) zenitco. for skirmishing i suppose ali is fine but still very cringe. that being said real FSB leaf suits are very sought after and incredibly expensive now.
>>193601>I thought cyma's were entry models (platinum even)They still perform very well, at least that is what I heard all across the board. If you want to force yourself to shell out more money you can go for a krytac or VFC avalon. They will cost you around 500 bucks and supposedly run great ootb.>What should I also getJust make sure the batteries you are getting will fit your airsoft and you might want to ask the shop if they have any idea if the midcaps you plan on buying actually will feed with your airsoft model, since unfortunately that always can be an issue with AR type AEGs, less so with AK types. On the topic of batteries you generally want to run LiPo, although they require a bit of maintenance so they don't turn limp on you 7 games in.>I'm also looking into summer camo, or not even camoIdk where you are from but hit your local milsurplus store and get yourself a BDU. If it is too hot for the jacket you can always roll up sleeves or just wear a shirt. Just avoid black, it gets incredibly hot in the sun and imo looks absolute ass half the time.>>193543>>193494Chinese QC always will be a gamble. That unmotivated Chinese granny on the conveyor belt always will be the bane of us airshitters.
>buying AEGs in 2024 Just go HPA
>>193733>go back to the 80s of hosefaggotry
>>193777The gimp leash isn't soo bad when you have internals that are basically a small Tippmann 98 custom. The thing just keeps chugging as long as you don't try to up the ROF too much.
>>193777That's a solved problem anon
>>193793They suck
>>193733>>193783HPA is objectively the best way to power an airsoft gun if you care about performance and consistency, but unfortunately if you run one you are automatically associated with tryhard wankers that will overshoot you for fun and punch your lights out if they claim youre cheating and you disagree
same thing if you run a pimped out AEG with like a DSG to be fair.
>>193824must be a american or leddit thing, cause at least where i play. Most people start out with AEG, and after their first year if they stick around they swap to HPA, and that's wether they are milsimmer, casual or speedsofter. The field i run, we probably have more HPA than AEG players at this point.
>the epic HPA setup in question>>193733The hose looks gay and generally people that really try to reach the last percentile of optimized performance are the unpleasant type of retard that get into petty arguments over how they definitely hit someone 60 meters away in a parallel sprint, because his 1200 bucks setup would never fail him and is all he really has to compensate for his lack of skill, thus his fundamentalist faith in his HPA tapped tranny AAP carbine can never be undermined without catastrophic consequences for him.These days AEG can easily reach near-HPA performance for basically what is a fraction of the budget, it isn't 2014 anymore. Personally the only advantage I see is the ability to adjust power on the fly quiet a bit easier compared to a qc spring systems on AEG (something that many people hold against HPA ironically enough, assuming those people would crank up their power post-chrono). Consistency also shouldn't be an issue with AEG unless you did something weird with your build, which according to a HPAfag I play with often can also be the case with HPA.At the end of the day everyone can play whatever he likes, there is a reason why certain stereotypes about certain groups exist though.
>>193638I guess I should just call it a camo suit and not specifically a sniper suit. I got mine from Ivan tactical (Sumrak SPOSN) but I'd imagine a cheaper knockoff would do just fine for airsoft.
>>193827this
>>193827as a milsimfatty i can't imagine ever running this. to each their own i guess. heres my gbbr collection
>>193860based
>>193860Holy based. That M72 takes 40mm shells? Also that AKS with the Kobra is the hottest airshit I have seen in a long while.
>>193912the m72 is purely for show since i dont have a site to shoot them at, and the setup to have it shoot taginn rounds is quite expensive if i have nowhere to shoot them
>>193860it is 6am and you made my wood harder, fuck you (lovingly)
Is kingarms-store legit for buying a gun from? I want to buy the galil mar from there to modify later.
>>190524>go to ebay>milsurp uniform>get full set of M81 or something for 20 dollarsyou multicam homos are so dramatic
>>194140I thought woodland was babbys first camo pattern.

>>194203
>>194207>highly effective
>>194203I chose every shade of green non camo possible. Why should I move to camo?
>>187463My tokarev we but it is extremely picky on green gas and basically won't run on valken stuff. I think my kwa was more reliable but damn you cannot find magazines for that one.
>>194203Look at those noobs. The background is clearly blue. I can see them clear as day.
Is 65 to 70m an okay range for a sniper? I managed to crank up the fps with a custom spring on my mosin but it seems this is as high as it will go without modding the chamber.
>>194345It's alright. How VSR compatible is it? Cause then there are plenty of parts that can help you with range and accuracy. Power obviously helps with range but your hopup setup is much more important
That's some quality alright.
>>194345>Is 65 to 70m an okay range for a sniper?Just be ready to be counter"sniped" by most AEG and HPA While you miss your first shot and are busy racking that bolt again they will have thrown half a mag at you, since that range is still in semi-effective distance for most AEG/HPA, unless you have some site-/country-specific FPS regulations. On a day that isn't windy I can generally hit people up to 70m away with my 1.5j M16 AEG. That doesn't even take into account some crazy DMR builds with 1,8+ joule people run. I would suggest to instead play like a normal rifleman, not a "sniper" and embrace the fact that you are severely outgunned at basically any distance. Every kill you land on some DSG/HPA tranny will taste twice as sweet though.
>>194203Green camo and helmet scrim goes very hardI wish I could get M81 and PASGTs easily in the UK
>>194382Why are PASGTs so rare in Europe? I have a vest but don't want to pay 200€ for a shitty surplus helmet
>>194382>>194384You can get cheapo replicas from eBay, but they're not so common now as they're basically retro.
>>194409>replicasI want the real thing. I know I can get a shitty PASGT plastic helmet for 20 jewros
>>194373My site has a 300 fps cap with .25g on any non marksman or dmr weapon. It's the standard for Spain.Also pistol hpa setups are straight up banned (I think just hpa in general is banned, haven't seen a nigga ever use that on the field)Will I still be outranged at those distances?I also have a minimum 30m engagement distance on the gun so regular infantryman is not really viable.
Hello /asg/, Before I post anything related to airsoft, what is your opinion on anime?
>>194462Tokyo Marui literally funded an anime show about a college's girl's airsoft club that seemed alright I thinkI'm assuming you're cosplaying something though so I guess send 'er and see what happens, at worst you learn new insults to use against others later
>>194462Take a guess, faggot.
>>194462some of it is cool like Black Lagoon, a lot of it is cringe
>>194384For the same reason all ballistic helmets are becoming more rare and expensive in the UKUkraine gobbling them all up, I've had to pay £50 for Mk 6 helmets now
>>194468What anime?>>194462we are on mongolian basket weadvkving forum anon
Is the tokyo marui aeg skorpion any good. The modernized one I am considering because i want a small aeg for when my cyma keeps jamming up and when my WE tok wont shoot because the gass isn't good.
>>194468>>194474>>194475>>194487Well, here it is. Sorry for the wait. Pass your judgement.
>>194523it fucks
>>194523do i want to know what the point of the rope is
>>194531Assisting HPA-trannies when they want to join the 41%? Tactical shibari? >>194523I don't know what the fuck is going on with that gun. Is that Toradora on the lower receiver?
>>194527Thank you.>>194531There is no point to a rope. You make your own point.>>194556Yes, that is Toradora on the lower receiver. I have no idea what to do witho it.
Any here made a BB trap before? I want to be able to chrono guns in my garage.
>>194487Stella Women's Academy, High School Division Class C3 (alt. Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C3-bu, if you're an autist and want an untranslated title, but I'm pretty sure the English title will take you to a Youtube playlist of the full series if my memory's not completely shit)>>194523that build goes unbelievably hard, I was simultaneously wondering if it was going to be some kind of cosplay and worried that it was instead going to be ahegao-hoodiesoft, but I am pleasantly surprised to find the rare third option of a genuinely aesthetically-pleasing stylized build that doesn't go over-the-top but still possesses its own unique sense of personality and charm - good shit
>>194562C3 went full retard after a few episodes though. Sabagebu on the other hand is great
>>194560IIRC, the shop near my house has one that is essentially a large cardboard box connected to a tube where you can rest the Chrono. I would theorize that it's angled to hit the bottom corner of the box, where a blanket of some sort is placed. Seems to work for them. >>194562Thank you very much for the kind words. It is my first airsoft gun I've decided to actually tech out, so I decided to give it a very unique look to go alongside it. I wish I could actually put a Kurisu charm on their, but it doesn't seem like they exist anymore.
>>194560Yes I printed this https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/airsoft-chronograph-box
>>194571>a very unique lookSince no sane person would even consider doing what you've done to that poor thing I guess you're right. Can you even adjust the stock with that retarded rope wrapped around it like that? You're free to do whatever you like with your guns but come on.
>>194570>>194562Theres like only 3 airsoft anime and non are completely shit though. Even aohara machine gun had some ok eps.
>>194414Now the odds are more on your side, but not that much.
>>194414Then you should be fine, although I assume with such engagement distances enemies can close in rather fast.
Are cyma M14's solid out of box? It looks dreadful to take apart, if i decide to buy myself one.
>>194611DMR’s are built not bought. And yes V7 gearboxes do suck major donkey dick imo. Negative airsoft has some videos on them so watch that before you decide on if it’s something you want to delve into. Unless you take the HPA pill ofc.
>>194613I do not neccesarily expect it to be DMR, I just kind of want playable M14 and consider it as cheapest option. I just wonder how it performs out of box.
>>194618It will be alright. Typical older CYMA so Tamiya plug, okay internals and you probably won’t be able to lift more than .28’s. What id do is rewire it to deans, and install a simple mosfet like a Gate nano or Perun AB++ so you can run it with a 11.1v without frying the trigger contracts, and change out the barrel for tighter bore and a Maple leaf 60 degree super macaron with omega nub, so you can lift heavier bb’s.
>>194611Incidentally was also looking at those. I have a reliable cyma ak but I wanted something cool that I could mod more.>>194620How would the accuracy be though? Also would the joules change
>>194623>How would the accuracy be though?your accuracy will improve by a higher quality bucking/barrel combo. Allowing to use heavier bb's like .3 or .32 is also a significant boost to accuracy over lighter bb's that are more affected by wind. Your joule will probably slightly increase with better seal from the new bucking + a tight bore barrel
>>194624Might consider it. Ak is jamming up and I need a second primary for local fields, m14 and the tm skorpion looked to be my best options in terms of looks and if they fit in my carry bags
>>194633>Ak is jamming up and I need a second primary for local fieldsWhat do you mean by jamming up? Does this only happen in semi or in FA as well? If it's in semi it's because gearbox can't keep up with you spamming on semi. This is usually a problem when running either nimh or a 7.4v lipo with AK's. Using 11.1v fixes it but if your AK doesn't have a mosfet it will fry your trigger contacts over time.
>>194636I see. I will try that then. I had to full auto to unjam the gun multiple times last I took it out and before that it was shooting only half the time at low fps. I just thought it was the battery but if I can make it more reliable I will just do that.
>>194644Yeah that's typical problem version 3 gearboxes have. Big fps variance could be a sign of some other problem tho.
>>194688Only other thing could be the new bucking and nub not seating properly. They worked fine after swaping battery abd going back to chrono and just putting it throu a half mag in full auto. Maybe it never seated. I still should upgrade, would any mosfet for cyma ak work or is there specific differences between ones made for tm copies vs vfc?I've only ever done simple parts upgrades before.
>>194698Any inline mosfet will work on any gun. If you want a optical mosfet get a Perun V3. Either way you are gonna have to do some soldering. You might have to dremel some part of the gearbox to fit the Perun if something sticks up preventing it from seating correctly. Depeds on the gearbox really so hard to say.Your FPS problems could be due to poor seal. Either from the nozzle to hop up, or from your cylinder to piston. It's impossible to tell without you opening it up and testing
I've got a question, and I've got zero knowledge of airsoft. I'm making a movie and I need a fake luger or luger-like pistol. I used a very cheap toy gun as a prop, but one scene has the main character disassembling and cleaning his gun, so I need something more realistic that can be taken apart. Can anyone here recommend a somewhat realistic luger that costs around $300 or less?
>>194710Not airsoft but check out Denix replica Luger as an optionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzY4a2HM-ho&t=266s
>>194611Yeah, they're good enough. But you'll want to throw some upgrades at it before long, they're not that difficult to work on, just laborious to disassemble.
>>194754>proprietary hop chamber
>>194759>implying it needs replacing
>>194723Thanks, man. Are there any legal issues with getting these things shipped to different countries, or are non-firing replicas ok legally? Filming in Japan.
>>194835Yeah, that pistol probably isn't legal in Japan. There's some dumb rule here that says pistol replicas can't be made fully in metal.
>>194835Also, do you live in Japan or are you just visiting? If you live here check Mercari for model gun Lugers or go to Akihabara and hope you can get lucky (Lugers seem to be pretty rare these days)
>>194710>https://www.mg-props.co.uk/luger.htmMGC made a cap firing Luger, probably pretty easy to get in Japan of an auction site.
>>194853thanks for all the info, but I'm worried it will look plastic in closeups. Or it can't be disassembled.
Mosin update: I got da sling.
>>195298How is it so far? Worth buying? What about spare parts?
>>195321I had to order a better hop, new shorter internal barrel + custom internal piston and nozzle (the cylinder and chamber is non standard, both the nozzle and piston assembly are plastic by default) from a guy called bolt action dude and also had to hand craft my own springs for 30 extra fps. The internal chamber is not long enough to push the rifle to 400fps with 0.4gs, I tried stronger springs but the rifle became impractical to load past a certain strength. The max performance I've managed to get out of it is 330fps with 0.4gs with a range of approximately 65m to consistently hit a target and 70m if you pray to virgin Mary for your shot to land. It's an awful stock sniper, shooting at 300 fps with 0.25gs out of the box. Now, I will admit I've had fun tinkering with it to try and upgrade it, but I cannot in good conscience recommend this rifle to anyone looking for a historical sniper rifle. Go buy a kar98 if you want a decent sniper with good upgrades.
>>195327Forgot to say, the rifle is the S&T spring mosin nagant.I guess I might as well list some positives The look and feel of the rifle is great with a real wood body, if you're going to use it as a regular rifle instead of a sniper it works just fine for that role, just remember to grease the bolt to get a silky smooth bolt pull. The magazine is pretty decent, it can hold up to 35 rounds and can be bought relatively cheap, around 20-30 bucks per mag. Sight picture and iron sights are fantastic imo, I just really love the mosins sights since they let me quickly get a bead on target.
>>195327Not interested in turning it into a sniper rifle. All I'd want is for it to do 1.6J max
>>195331Ah then with the upgrade kit I mentioned you're set for 1.6j
>>195298are you gettting as scope too?
new>>195359>>195359>>195359
>>189806>not a single BMI below 30The Reich's legacy :)
>>195358Yes but will have to be a long eye relief one mounted on with an adapter. Lever gets in the way of a regular pu scope.
