I think this is a perfect example of how dumb try-hard behavior breeds more dumb try-hard behavior, and how everyone has less fun because of it. That kid shouldn't have used a pile of his dead squadmates as a human shield to try and "win" by using my reluctance to physically hurt my peers against me, and I should have exercised more tact and restraint when reengaging.
Were lessons learned? Probably not, but I still had fun.

I had a similar situation yesterday. I was waiting behind some stairs to get a guy coming down and I hear "dead man coming down stairs".

depends is it the cybergun one or the cyma one? The Cybergun one has some internal upgrades, but the CYMA one i had ootb was absolutely awful desu. Like plastic piston and plastic bushings.. I had to swap everything in it before it was usable, and then it did turn into quite the gun.

I can't remember all the parts in it but some of it was ASG Infinity 22TPA, 13:1 SHS Gear, changed all air seal parts + piston. SHS makes a Thompson nozzle. Iirc the cylinder head is a V3 but don't quote me on that. Perun AB++ precock set to 3. Barrel, bucking and nub was Maple leaf. I had to remove some material on the hop arm otherwise there would be hop even at zero.

It's a fun project gun if you like that kind of stuff

the most costly part is the HPA setup. Mine has a Polarstar F2, then you'd need a HPA tank setup as well. Other than that it's a lower of your choice, carbon tube from aliexpress and a 3D printer for the upper receiver. If you don't want to make something yourself Airtac Customs sells them premade both AEG and HPA in the US. In the EU there¨'s something like the Sub5

The entire idea is counter intuitive. If you showed up to a field with any of those things above you'd have people asking you about it constantly-- "what brand is that? how does it work? what's the performance like?"

Hello 4chan,

I am planning on creating an integrally suppressed A&K ACR, but I want to get the Begadi hop-up unit to utilize higher BB weights. This part is only in Europe, and I can't find anyone in the US who supplies it.

Luckily, my family vacation is going to Sweden, which will save me around 22 USD on shipping. The question is, will TSA/Customs kill me for trying to bring across a hop-up system?
>>

Why do you type like some kind of fed?
A hop up unit isn't big and doesn't look like anything obvious. If they just toss it in their suitcase I doubt anyone would notice it, or care at all.

It takes away the mag manipulation aspect of GBB since you now just pull out and put in mags into that adapter like with an AEG, no bolt catch or anything like that.
Personally as an AEG player I see it this way.
>GBBRchads accept and even embrace their limitations for that final bit of realism, not caring they will be outperformed by basically any AEG, let alone HPA.

I mean, I considered it as an option, because I want a cool blowback, while also not having such a huge limitation against players using AEG's and being able to shit out 150 bb's per mag that costs nothing vs 30 round mags that eventually add up more than cost of adapter and all else while weighting a ton and requiring additional gas refill ontop of reloading bb's. t. aegfag who considers that in the future

If the point of the gun was performance and performance only like you’re implying GBB with HPA really wouldn’t be the first choice.

>>197053
It's a WE, guy sold it for 30 eurobucks and a KWA G17 for another 30 eurobucks, so for 60 eurobucks total I got both of them and both came with a spare mag and pistol case each. A steal really. I know that the WE 1911s have a shitty reputation in regards of gas efficiency and whatnot, but I am not really looking for high gas efficiency on my sidearm I will draw once every 9 games anyway. Although when I used it I managed to empty the whole mag before running out of gas.
>>197059
Anon, I really hope you are not implying that the tiny amount of recoil your gay AAP/Hicapa has is this big equalizer that puts your HPAtapped GBB on par with any actual GBB or far out of league from engine-based HPA. Personally I think that a big point is that while you can take an AEG and really get it to run at near-HPA levels (to the extent that you won't really feel too much of a difference in most cases), there is a big hurdle you need to cross first, meaning that it usually is sensible people that get into that extend of AEG tuning, which means that they usually don't strife for it anyway since (at least where I live) people in general stick to or are limited to semi fire anyway. All while any retard can gut a MK18 and throw some HPA engine in, enabling him to fire BBs at 1,8j at 50rps.

Hey guys, haven't touched airsoft since hobbytron was big shit and VFC released their new "holy fuck 8mm M82A1 .50 monster!!!1!" so... probably 20 years?
Well, time has passed and I want to start having some fun at milsims with the gear I've acquired.
That being said- is Umarex any good in terms of AEGs? Was looking at getting a DD, KAC, or 416 and throwing a bunch of IRL shit on it for function under nods, as well as a fake suppressor.
Will I need to upgrade internals or batteries at all in terms of reliability in colder climates? Or for performance?
Any insight is much appreciated. Pic is from my last outing.

The secondary mode consumes ammo at twice the rate but puts out a miniature spread pattern to increase the chances of a hit or just rain down suppressive fire that much more effectively.

>Clearly someone at KTW Japan has played too much Half Life.

Red Wolf's official description lmao. I wonder how long those things last slam-firing double shots. Very cool though.
>>
>>197819
I just tried and it won't slam fire. I'm thinking of changing the spring for a stronger one since it takes regular AEG springs. Hopefully the internals don't shatter
>>
>>197823
It's probably way better for the gun that you don't slam-fire it, it's probably reasonable durable other than that, although Red Wolf made that their primary marketing point. Have you tried the two-shot? What's the spread like?
>>
>>197833
>Have you tried the two-shot? What's the spread like?
Practically zero spread in typical CQB ranges. Since it only has one barrel, it only spreads when at ranges that far exceed its effectiveness.

I'm also surprised RedWolf has a Tokyo Marui SPAS for 139 bucks. If my country didn't have retarded shipping laws about replicas, I would have bought that instead.

No, the barrel, muzzle break, front blade sight, bolt+handle, front sling mount, safety, trigger, magazine cutoff/bolt release, loading gate and magazine tube retainer are all some sort of zinc based metal.

I own VTs retard. It aint about the money, its about reliability. WE is a big 50/50 of average guns and severely horrible guns.

For example, the deagle is overbuilt and I have never seen a single one break while their M16s self-destruct because the triggerbox is made of cheese. You can change the triggerbox for a steel one and youre good to go. Good luck doing that with a VFC when there are no good aftermarket parts

Listen, I get your point and use it myself as someone who dislikes the idea of abandoning proper GBB manual of arms for minmaxxing, but 150 *metres?* 150 feet, maybe, but 150m is an insane claim
Also, to play devil's advocate: someone running AEG mags can still put down accurate fire, AND also utilize suppressive fire - though I will admit, it seems odd to abandon two of the major features of using gas mags (that being LRBHO/click-on-empty instantly making the user aware being empty to avoid wasting air/gas, and also being able to reload much more quickly) in exchange for reduced reload frequency

I like the buttpack personally, I don't think it's difficult to get into. Plus you can still wear a 25-30L backpack with it depending on your gear requirements.

Great externals, meh internals, and little pricey. Not a bad buy. The only thing I can think of is that CYMA is launching a line of full steel AKs this autumn that come standard with 13:1 high speed gears, quick spring-change gearboxes and mosfets that are programmable for trigger response and pre-cocking. So full steel and 'way' better internals, Tawaingun has the AKM listed for $280, although no AKMS model has been listed yet.

finally going to get back out there now that it's nice. i'm busy this weekend, but next weekend for sure. i got into airsoft for the first time last year, and really enjoyed it, so now i'll be able to make the best of the whole season with any luck. all my gear is checked, i've got a GBB pistol in the mail, all is well. can't wait for a good season.
>>
>>197440
do it.

my advice: buy a cheap pistol, some bbs, and rent a primary from the field. it's still spring, so there may be some beginner events still on. if they have one, go to one.

some notes: if you already know how to shoot, or play a lot of VR shooters, this is going to be relatively easy to get into. if you don't have any real steel experience and don't play VR, you're going to have to learn how to shoot in addition to all the airsoft rules (simple). practice at home to get comfortable, using your pistol: rifles are just bigger and more stable.

gear is important but not be-all end-all. a cheap amazon plate carrier with some mag pouches is perfect. get a drop leg holster too, those are like $15. get hiking boots for this, you don't want sneakers, you're going to take a digger eventually and if you're geared up with good shoes you'll shrug it off instantly.

i cannot stress this enough: the three most important items of clothing you can wear as a beginner are the following:
>hiking boots
>a good hat, or helmet if you're willing to buy that
>gloves

so yeah, it's a good thing to get into. understand that it's kind of pricey to get into past a basic pistol and some gear, and it's physically strenuous. take it slow, see if you like it, and once you're hooked you can launch right in and trick out your setup and buy a rifle.
>>
>>198856
Agreed with this anon, though you can get a chest rig for even cheaper and it might be more comfortable solution for a lot of people. Also I would add knee pads to this list; sucks to kneel down on bb's, or hit the rock while quickly ducking down. Cheapest plastic shell helmet "replicas" are dirt cheap, and I think it is huge comfort if you play in the area with lots of trees and other things you can bonk your head against.
>>
>>198857
yeah.

also, forgot to mention: they make little velcro holsters that are supposed to stick right on your plate carrier. i love them. i keep my pistol in there now, and use my drop leg as a dump pouch for the expended pistol, or to quickly switch back to the rifle.
>>
>>198721
i do battle belt, plate carrier, and backpack. i load the fuck out of myself and never run out of anything. if it's a smaller field, the backpack stays in the car, but i use the plate carrier and belt always. yes it's heavy, yes it adds bulk and setup time, but i can dump my mags easier and carry extra bbs on my person (i use mid-cap so i need to refill more often). you can even throw a couple hi-cap mags in there all ratcheted up to grab in a hurry if your mid-caps all run dry.

Well, the build must wait I suppose.
Other than that, does a short inner barrel in a longer outer barrel experience any issues regarding airflow output? I want to match 1tonne's barrel/cylinder ratio as closely as possible for .32s.
>>
>>199500
Side point, I am only really worried that any excess airflow from the inner barrel pushing the bb hits the walls of the outer barrel and exerts force on the BB. I might be stupid asking this but does the bb go faster than the air compression/run alongside it?
If it does run alongside, the bb will be past any influence from the airflow of the outer barrel, as well, right?

I bought the Evikes $280 mystery box, which promised a gun worth over $430. This was my first airsoft gun and I figured I would just play the odds.

I got the Scorpion Evo 3 A1. My stepbro basically told me I had struck gold and everything else I am seeing online concurs that this is the best stock performance AEG you can find. I'm pretty happy with it. Still need to buy a battery, BBs, etc but just handling it around it seems like a quality piece.

Any ownership tips? Custom things that people end up doing? One thing I need to do is tone down it's FPS so I can use it, local fields restrict 400+ FPS guns to 50ft minimum range if they have full auto.
>>
>>199617
Don't know any specifics for the AEGs since I only own the HPgAy version but all I done with my evo is:
- replace the hop up unit with the maxx unit
- replace the bucking, nub, and barrel
- bought some EPM E9 mags
If you don't feel like putting in another hop unit then you should consider the airtech studios hop up gear so you don't need a allen key to adjust the hop up.

I had to go through like 5 boards to find this general. I knew it must exist somewhere.
I don't know if this general or board is even fast enough to warrant posting here, but I was looking to find an all metal C02 1911 to have some fun with.
It seems like the KJW 1911 is the all metal 1911 of choice, but damn that bulbus C02 magazine looks ugly as fuck.
Then it seems like the Tokyo Marui is the non-all-metal 1911 of choice, but at least it has the flush magazine.
Should I just saw fuck it and get the KWC 1911 that has the flush C02 + all metal?

Sometimes being autistic about this shit is a blessing because it stops me from spending money, and sometimes it's a curse because I have to spend a week deciding what toy gun to get because I'm too much of a pussy to buy a real gun illegally.

Here's what the KJW 1911 C02 looks like.
Fucken perfect except the retarded looking magazine.
The green gas magazine for it is flush, but my local store just sells C02 things. Apparently green gas doesn't work as well in cold climates either which would be a problem.
>>
>>199879
do not get a TM and use CO2 mags. The slide is plastic and will fly off in the first shot with CO2. Even green gas in the summer can be too much. In general CO2 just sucks for airsoft. There's way too much pressure for chinesium components. Even quality brands that use steel parts i've seen outer barrel crack on glocks that use Co2 mags.
Is gas really not an option for you?
>>
>>199881
>Is gas really not an option for you?
okay so in my 5 minutes of internet research apparently green gas is just propane?
Is there some sort of hose or adapter you connect to the bottom of the gun or magazine to refill it from a larger propane tank?
Is pressure in the magazine just determined by the larger tank you're getting it from? Is there any sort of pressure regulation or measuring so you know what state the magazine is in?
My options for C02/green gas are pretty much limited to my local Canadian Tire.
Any thoughts on this thing?

Wait till you find out I only want it because it looks cool. Beretta 92 is my 2nd favorite handgun. I don't know enough about guns to actually discuss them in any depth, but I think an M1 Garand and 1911 would be my perfect pairing.

Look, I need something that will kill a gopher, okay?
>>
>>199879

A few things:
1. Propane is cheap, readily available and lends itself to top-off gas filling, and thus is a preferable option for airsoft use
2. An M1 Garand ain't exactly a common choice, most people are about the AEG ARs that're made by like 12 different companies and have an insane amount of aftermarket
3. If you want to kill small game, you not only want an actual airgun, but you want a pellet gun strong enough to humanely kill it (which, judging by your choice of retailer, would mean needing a PAL because Canada is a hellhole that considers any airgun worth hunting with a license-worthy tool), and at that point you might as well go to /k/ and ask about actual airguns, or perhaps alternatives like slingshots and crossbows, rather than torturing small animals with plastic-BB guns that're literally designed to be able to be shot at other humans at rather close ranges without doing so much as breaking skin

never buy a KWC 1911, they are outdated fragile dogshit with proprietary aftermarket only kept alive by the unfathomable amount of Youtuber shilling Umarex paid for in the early through late 2010s leading to like 80% of 1911 license-holders just asking them to make one instead of doing two seconds of research and realizing KJW is a far superior option for their customers' actual long-term enjoyment

Alright noted. I didn't realize there was a difference between metal BB guns and plastic BB airsoft guns. I assume green gas airguns can't shoot metal BB's?
So does that cheaper winchester 1911 (metal BB) gun do more damage than the KJW or Tokyo Marui gun?

Anyways, I bought uhhhh, something from my neighbor for $500 today which will take care of the gophers if I can get some ammo too.

At this point I'm just looking at these airsoft guns for fun now so I guess KJW is the way to go if I want a 1911? It's a shame the C02 magazine looks so fucken ugly, guess I'll get the green gas mag with it.
>>199947
Yes. Sorry.
>>199963
Want, not need. I just thought they looked cool.

I genuinely did not realize airsoft was like, a sport thing until I looked it up on youtube and watched some videos. I thought you guys were just shooting trees and cans and stuff.

Thank you for your help.

>>199966
Typically airguns for plinking and varmint hunting are 4.5mm, some can shoot both metal BBs and pellets that can take advantage of a rifled barrel. Airsoft guns use 6mm BBs. The larger size of the BB combined with its low weight makes them safer to shoot at people, the guns themselves are usually much less powerful as well.
> I assume green gas airguns can't shoot metal BB's?
There are some metal 6mm BBs for airsoft guns made, but they're very rare, I've been playing for 20 years and have never seen one. They aren't permitted at any airsoft fields. They're 3-4x heavier than normal airsoft BBs, so they'd probably have laughably bad range out of a pistol. Normal airsoft barrels are a thin tube of soft brass, which I imagine would quickly become damaged by using metal BBs.
>>
>>199966
Firstly, KJW 1911s are a decent option with a decent amount of aftermarket, but if you don't mind a slight deviation in the name of optimal performance you'd be better off with their Hi-Capas/2011s using gas mags - double-stack sized magazine that holds way more gas (thus being able to clear way more rounds between refills - metal-slide single-stack 1911s have a slight reputation for sometimes requiring slightly-downloaded magazines to ensure you can actually finish shooting the magazine before running out of gas), same manual of arms, similar form factor, and an insane amount of aftermarket (TM-spec Hi-Capas are literally the most supported handgun in the entirety of airsoft - if something breaks or you want to upgrade something on it you WILL be able to replace it with at most mild fitment work done on the part in question)
Secondly, metal 6mm BBs do exist, but they're banned at all fields, and absolutely fucking annihilate barrels and hop buckings - stick to plastic for airsoft purposes
Thirdly, though not related to airsoft, get your PAL at some point - I'd imagine it would help you out in the future for dealing with the gopher problem, whether with buying something from a store or keeping you out of trouble with "something" you already have.

lol I just got it yesterday and this is 100% true. Is there a place to get bakelite look AK-47 mags for it? I see the 74 version everywhere but never the 7.62 version.
>>
>>200367
At a quick glance, CYMA (rebranded Matrix by Evike) midcaps are basically your only option for imitation bakelite
https://www.evike.com/products/37684/
>>
>>200371
The CYMA ones activate my autism because they have ribs on the sides, which real bakes never had.

I’d consider buying some cheap civvie-market Bulgarian 7.62 mags and converting them. They come in brown, which you could fakelite overtop of. Plus you get steel locking lugs that way vs the shitty plastic lugs on a CYMA.
>>
>>200275
It's worth it, esp if you have more expensive optics. US prices are wacked. Instead, I bought several of your pic from China for a few bucks for the rail piece, and a sheet of polycarbonate (not plexiglass) to cut my own unlimited supply of shields. If you can find a perfect match, I'd go for a killflash like in >>200298 . But I have many different optics of all shapes and sizes, so it's more economical my way.
>>
>>200378
Could simply cut off and sand down the ribs, but I get your concern - real mags are always pretty damn resilient by comparison, so that is always an option if you're willing to do the work to cut down and hollow everything out to fit (and they tend to look pretty damn good, too)
>>
>>200431
>>200378
Unfortunately they're illegal in my jurisdiction, so that's not a possibility.
>>
>>200367
If you want to look as hot as that you have to make some sacrifices in other areas.
>>
>>200431
Oh, that's a good point, if you were gunna fakelite them anyway sanding would be an option.

>>200433
I just remembered that MAG makes 100 round midcaps in AKM style, check it out:
https://www.ehobbyasia.com/products/mag-akm-100rds-magazine-for-marui-ak47-5-pcs
>>
>>200433
Then stick to sanding the ribs off of CYMA/Matrix imitation bakelite mags and giving them the fakelite treatment - basically your best option

How old is the gun and how comfortable are you doing tech work to it?
>but its got shit range
If that's the case, there's either a problem with the hop-up or you have a big air leak in the gearbox. Neither issue is very costly to fix.

If you're not wanting to tech on the gun yourself and just want to drop in a new gearbox I can give some recommendations, although you still may need to rebuild the hop-up if it turns out the issue is that the bucking is torn or worn out.

around 40-50metres out of the box doing 0.7 0.8J not toooo bad, but it flies slow and makes alot of noise, so alot of people will see it coming their way.

Got it 2 years ago brand new, i changed the spring for a weak one as it was too hot for my country.

gearbox re-assembly was a nightmare always feeling like i'm a hand too short. but changing hop and barrel i have no issues with.

gearbox whines some and has a long windup, low ROF but thats probably due to the weak 8.4 nimh it came with.

Have you tried adjusting the motor height? Being even a little bit too high or low can make the gun really loud and grindy sounding. Could also be poor shimming on the gears.

I would look at the motor and battery combo next. I would really consider switching to a li-ion or li-po battery. A 7.4v lithium will make the gun a lot snappier compared to an 8.4v NiHM. 11.1v would be ever better, although most people recommend adding a mosfet to the gun in that case, which requires soldering and rewiring. Depends on how often you use it and what your budget is IMO.

Did the gearbox look like picrel or was it black/gray? If it's the later, it's using an old style motor which is really weak and can be pretty loud, especially when combined with that 8.4v. Swapping for a high-torque motor would help a lot in that case. If you want reccs let me know. If it does look like picrel, it probably already has one.

>but changing hop and barrel i have no issues with.
It might be worth disassembling it and just checking that nothing's torn or anything. It's more likely there's an airleak in the gearbox somewhere though. Remove the spring & spring guide, pull the piston all the way back, hold your finger over the end of the air nozzle and insert the piston. If it's sealing correctly, you should only be able to insert the piston into the cylinder a few millimeters before the trapped air makes it impossible to move forward further.

If you don't want to mess with it, consider just buying a new gun, swapping the gearboxes and then reselling it with the caveat that it needs tech work. Be honest about it, let the seller know it has a basic CYMA gearbox with known issues. You can probably recoup most of the cost without having to do any work yourself.

thanks for the in depth reply! the gearbox is unfortunately black and grey, i'll give it a go with adjusting motor height. i dont want to open up the gearbox anymore, took me too long to reassemble it last time. good call on the high speed motor though, i'll see if i can find a local tech that can whip it up in one go with a neat new engine.

budget wise im not super concerned, i can spend some, especially since the NVA kit has become one of my favorites to run. and the gear itself is extremely cheap

I did check for an airleak and it seals up perfect. one hickup is that it sometimes sticks to semi auto while in automatic.

All in all the lack of performance is most likely my wrong motor height paired with a regular connected weak battery (hadnt bothered soldering a DEAN on it yet)

I mostly stick to an ambush playstyle because i focus more on the larp then any replica performance

so lack of range hasnt fucked me over too much, mostly just the noise it makes hahah.

Hi. Could /asg/ give me some suggestions for my first kit on:
>Headgear
>Color of knee pad
>General ideas
Currently, I am leaning towards beanie + headset, instead of getting ops core derivatives or heavier Russian full face alternatives.
I am wondering if I should get a black kneepad or something else, because I have decided to go with Dark Jeans and Coyote boots.
Not included in pic
>Glock 19 + holster
>LCT ak-12 mag x 3
>>
>>200751
>headgear
Bare minimum some full-seal eyepro, lower-face/mouth protection that doesn't stop you from aiming your gun highly recommended (ex. mesh mouth in balaclava, cloth-mesh hybrid facepro) technically nothing else is necessary unless you want to get a bump helmet in case you take a nasty tumble
>colour of kneepad
Black, it'll complement the rest of your stuff and break up the blue profile of your legs slightly - though you're still going to stand out in most places because black isn't known for fitting into any natural environment
>general ideas
Get some foam plates (or weighted/real plates, if you want to get some upper-body exercise, qualify for milsim body armour rules if you decide to attend one in the future, and in the latter's case actual ballistic protection for non-airsoft reasons) in order to make your plate carrier rigid, otherwise it'll flop around like a motherfucker since it's got nothing keeping its shape
Also, for the love of God, acquire or make a lens protector for that optic if you haven't already put something on it - I know it's not a cheap one and BBs will absolutely shatter the thing
AFAIK I can't fault anything else, just make sure that optic's zeroed and you're good
>>
>>200804
Thanks for the detailed reply!
>Headgear
I was mainly concerned with aesthetics, but yes indeed I will get a proper protection.
>Kneepad and all black kit
Yes that's pretty much what I thought.
I was mainly inspired by this "half-black" kit pic rel. But converting from this to full black won't be so hard in the future.

Both on the way, but your reminder will surely help other new players.

Can anyone with a specna core recommend a good bucking? I picked up the maple leaf super macaron in 60 and 70 degree along with an omega nub and they caused feeding issues.

i am fully aware of its inferior camo and heat absorption.

Depends on the quality.
I have autism to collect genuine things, or at least something that I could use in real combat.
Some of the Novus optic replicas surpass their originals.
Then there are unreasonably expensive gears like ballistics face shield for Ops Core, or downright unobtanium like GIGN helmet with visor, which I have no choice but to use Chinese junks or give up completely due to low quality.

Alright, I got a 6.02mm Maple Leaf barrel in, as well as a yellow Super Macaron, a blue MR, and a translucent yellow MR, as well as the matching omega nub. Spent some time today trying them out with both .25g and .32g ammo.

I'm not very impressed with any of the three Maple Leaf buckings. The yellow Super Macaron was the best performer of the three, neither of the MR buckings seemed to net me any more range, despite the name ("MaxRange") and the groupings were pretty sloppy.

I then swapped in a basic prommy purple with the matching nub and got easily the best range and accuracy of the four buckings tested, so that's what's staying in it.

My other main observation is that there really doesn't seem to be much of a downside to running .32gs. The range is the same as .25gs and the difference in travel time seems pretty small, the groupings are much tighter though, so this is what I'll be using going forward.

They do, but Arktis smocks are based on the Windproof smock and only go heavier from that, while the British field jacket is basically a lightweight Windproof. Even the field jacket is too hot for me unless the weather is subzero, so if I got the Windproof or any of the variants, I'd melt to death.

In general, I'm looking for a 90s hooded jacket in black; but M65 is not an option due to the heat and the hood being issues.

>>201774
My dude. I actually even was going to buy the Angel Customs MP5/10 magazines for the A5; but I found out that SRC MP5s do not take those mags, apparently.

Technically the SD has a sight rail for the Bushnell Holosight and a barrel clamp for the Surefire 660. But I get your point wholly; MP5s are peak 90s; full rail kits or M-LOKs or AR stocks are entirely out of place with them.

>SAS Jacket.
You are right. It is Jacket, Black, Field.
Mine is the newer Chinese made one.
It's still made by Cooneen Defense, so I think it is "legit".
I think you might also wanna look into "GS SMOCK, COMBAT, WINDPROOF".
Not sure what the difference between the two are, but the GS SMOCK has no NATO serial code as far as I am aware.
>>
>>202015
Your jacket is legit; Cooneen Defense is nowadays outsourcing to China. It's just out of principle I'd prefer an older UK-made one, that's. The gook one is made to spec so it should work, don't worry of that.

The difference between the jacket you have, and the Windproof Smock, is that the Windproof is noticeably heavier and warmer. For me, the Field Jacket is too hot for most of the year in general, so the Windproof would be utterly overkill. I have a DPM field jacket with the rare detachable hood for it, and I recently bought a black field jacket but returned it when I noticed it was China-made. Was hoping to find a source for old school UK made ones.

EBBs always sucks, especially if you have used GBBRs, plus it puts strain on the gears and LCT don't have the best internals to start with.

When it's 30 to 40 C and close to 100% humidity it's basically impossible to play outdoors. If nothing fucks up my plans (as usual) I'll play indoors this weekend.

I can’t play I’m getting knee surgery this week

What is the internal situation like that on those? Part of me wants the ebb but I know reliability is down. Other part of me wants gbbr but they basically do not work through winter where I am but i do have a cyma ak so I guess that would work through winter seasons.

God damn, summer sucks. It only just started and it's already hellish. Just traveling to the indoor field with all the gear might kill me.

Have the magazine issues on the WE PM Makarov been fixed? They supposedly leaked horrendously years ago, maybe manufacturing got better? I'm looking to buy a gbb pistol to go with my cyma AKM, and it's either the Makarov, whenever it's back in stock locally, or the Kizuna KW-15K.

I love summer. Maybe lose some weight, fatass?

>buy anything that isn't from VFC or TM
>50% chance it'll arrive defective or have some internal flaw that you need to fix
How do GBBRfags cope with this?

I'm not even fat, you can be a skeleton and you'd still start dripping sweat after walking for 5 minutes over here. When it's 36~40 degrees (like a billion degrees for you amerifats) and around 80% humidity any eyepro will be fogged up/dripping with sweat making it impossible to play.

I've even had my Dye mask start to fog

What kind of eyepro is everyone using nowadays? I'm still using my old ESS Profile Turbofans. The fan system died years ago thanks to the fragile angel's hair wiring they use, so I removed it.

I think I'm going to try and DIY a goggle fan system again, will post results and parts list if effective in about a week.

Are they any good? The ones we used in the Swedish military sucked ass and just fogged up if you used them anywhere besides the shooting range.

Whatever with EXFOG fan system. Also use it for skiing.

pretty good in my experience
so long as you dont disturb the airflow through them too much
what I mean by that is, if the vents on the top and bottom are mostly kept uncovered by say a helmet or beanie, it takes some serious effort to get them to fog
