>Threadly TopicWhy is airsoft """""""culture"""""" so bad online, while it is so harder to see it in actual person?
>>215907What do you mean by bad culture? Idk if it's any more toxic than other hobbies.
>>215915>every airsoft teching discourse having mostly redditors who never did any of it but will repeat what someone with lots of upvoots estabilished>youtube and whole perception of the hobby is muddied up by ghilliefags that try to be second kickingmustang and call everyone and everything a cheaterI admit I overdramatized that question as a massive aspie I am, moreso should have asked if you guys see similar dispoportion between discourse online and how it looks like in practice.
>>215916ah that stuff. Yea i agree but i don't think it's exclusive to Airsoft, but yes people giving advice or just straight up parroting shit because someone popular told them what to think is annoying af. I generally just don't care about what people have to say until i know for a fact they own the shit they talk about. On the ghilliefags i think i can count on one hand the amount of times i've heard or talked about Airsoft youtubers lol. Generally don't see too many ghillies and if i do it's always the shitty aliexpress one or novritsch that also sucks. Ghillies in general i feel are kinda overrated. I use a viper hood and i feel like that's plenty to stay concealed. People in general have kinda t-rex vision so if you sit still most won't see you.
>>215907it's like any online vs irl discourse. It's harder to be a dick in person. Online you disassociate from people and treat them like adversaries
>>215921You're wrong!And I'm going to spend the entire thread telling you that you're wrong!
Decided to run my rookie zone kit last weekend. Situational awareness under this mask is hilariously bad, breathing on top of that also is a bitch. But was fun nonetheless.>>215907I think that is mainly limited to the US and UK. The airsoft community over here is very small, so if you are a retard word quickly spreads and everyone will know you for being a retard. This also translates to the online sphere, so people are barely able to hide behind pseudonyms and anonymity.
>>215967What did you do for eyepro and how was fogging?
>>215968>eyeproHad to swap out the gasmasks glass with polycarbonate, marshalls even testfired it to make sure it withstands 1,5j with the barrel pressed against it.>foggingIt wasn't that hot so it was not as bad as one would expect. During sprints and heavy breathing it would fog when breathing out, the moment I breathed in it would clear up again.
>>215970cool
>>215970could you show how you replaced the lenses?
>>215970I thought about doing this with my PBF. We have a laser engraver at work so cutting the circles lenses out of some poly would be easy. Ended up selling the mask since nobody does theme games anymore.I've also thought about taking an old Soviet filter, ripping all of the internals out and installing a fan instead to get some airflow into the mask to maybe keep it from fogging.
Speaking of which, is the lack of themed/scenario-driven airsoft games limited to my area or has that been the way the whole of airsoft has trended? We used to have tons of cool games. Vietnam-themed games with half the guys doing their best impressions of Viet Cong, Cold War themed US/Nato vs. Warsaw Pact. Op. Irene had people playing as Somali civvies/militia. I remember hearing about cop/robber type games and post-apocalyptic themed stuff too, although I didn't get the chance to go to one.Everything nowadays is just green vs tan. Sometimes they throw in 'Civil War 2.0' with no other context, sometimes they don't even bother to do that. And 'big' events are pretty hard to find, most of the fields are pay-to-play where half the people show up wearing paintball clothes. That's WAY less fun than 'Fortunate Sun' and coolie hats.
>>215976I just bought them from ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/272833416122?_skw=gp5+replacement+airsoft+glas) and followed that tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3eiCdOq8yk&>>216002Nothing like that really going on here, I personally just run my autistic loadouts during normal games, which usually puts me at quite a disadvantage against the average mutlicam running airsoft player.
>>216002For me it's the opposite. I used to just play casual games but now I do mainly historical stuff like WW2 and Vietnam games. One field I frequent has started doing Easter front, western front, Finnish winter war, Vietnam etc.
>>216004>against the average mutlicam running airsoft player.why is multiscam so prevalent?milsurp like m81, fleck, and even jigsaw depending on where you live can be had for next to nothing, with way better build quality than whatever chinkshit the average 0p3r8t0r runsit cant just be muh tacicool and muh matching pouches right?
>>216051Multicam was used from 2004 until the late 2010s by the US military and a host of other countries (some of which still use it), as well as numerous imitations of it by even more countries - a large amount of known gear and tactical clothing manufacturers make stuff using it, a decent chunk of used gear and uniforms can be found in it, and it's an easy way to have something that at the very least conveys the simple aura of imitating a modern NATO combatantIt's not the most original, and it doesn't blend into *every* environment, but I get why it's a common sight among those wanting to make a generic soldier kit - even if I too wish people would pick something more interesting every now and then
xps3/eotechs and T2 clones are too generic and gay.what cool looking replica optic do I get that's also decent, looking for something in line with a comp m4 or something.
either join the military or quit larping, wear regular clothes and risk some mild discomfort
>>216279go and play your gay "tough guy" NERF, retard
>>216292nerf is less gay than milsimadmit you're wearing a costume and playing with toys
>>216303That's the point of the hobby, retard
thoughts on my setup?
Wait, you fags call airsoft extreme? Wow...
>>216315Not Russian, not NATO, kinda weird. I actually do like the purse and/or gas mask bag, where to cop?
>>216315I can't identify what country this is meant to be from, but it looks somewhat solid
>>216315>here's your "militia" faction, bro
playing with lmgs is a blast but i hate how they break every other week.
>Airsoft event I was planning to go to cancelled due to asbestos in the buildingDamn nanny state
>>216349>not wanting asbestos in your lungs is like 1984, guise
>>216350>Guys, guys! Amazing milsim event planned at Chernobyl. We just have to sneak in!
>>216349>Not taking the opportunity to host a stalker themed eventLame
>>216357>what do you mean you don't want to come to the event in eastern ukraine?!?!?!
>>215905Does anyobody have any experience/range time with the we scar h ? I'm eyeballing one atm but im worried about the lower being plastic
>>216473all scar lowers are polymer?Besides that wouldn't buy one until it gets updated to the V3 system like the other WE AR's
>>216473get the VFC
retard herehow easy is it to put the internals of the spitfire tracer into a dummy suppressor?
Maybe I'll join the AK-gang
>>216493fuck my retarded life and google adventures I'll just ask here instead.what do I buy if I want a socom rc 5.56 suppressor that has both muzzle flash and a tracer unit in it?
>>215907Airsoft attracts major tryhards because of its military and competitive aspects, a few % of the entire playerbase are milsimfags and speedfags with 0 self awareness, and the result is drama and cringe. Also teenage boys.
>>216604how much of the airsoft community are cosplayers, tho? Airsoft is a fashion show after all
>Broke down my rifle so it fit inside a briefcaseVirtually no difference between me and a real world assassin right now fr fr
>>216669I reckon most airsoft players are semi-cosplayers, they just don't realise it, nor would they admit to it.
>>216493>>216601Most airsoft suppressors have screw-on ends. Sometimes they're filled with foam. If you want to throw a tracer in there, you'll need a way to align the inner pathways so it doesn't ricochet against any walls, as well as take up the slack so that the tracer unit stays put. Nothing tragically difficult other than having to take everything apart to access the controls. The main difficulty you'll have is how to engineer the tracer unit a clear opening out the front for the LED effects.>>216669>>216851Airsoft is military cosplay. Otherwise, there no reason an airsoft gun needs to look like a real gun.
>>216948strange how no one makes cool replicas of famous Sci-fi guns like the Morita. And even if a sci-fi replica gets released it's low quality garbage and no one buys it
>>216990>Sci-fi gunsNot enough of a market I guess, only die hard fans would be interested, most airsofters want real looking guns and to play rambo, they don't want to know more or die for the emperor etc.
>>217097>normalfags ruining everything>againEvery time. Every single fucking time some new hype beast SF AR15 gets announced and normalniggers onions out over le based SF rifle. And when some replica that has never been released in airsoft gets made no one talks about it. I hate normalfag consoomers so God damn much. Look at this shit. This is exciting to those subhumans
>>217109The current gun from the current movie/videogame/war is always going to be the biggest seller. I'd love a gbb Ruger P85, S&W 4506, etc. but companies won't make that kind of stuff a priority as their money makers are the latest gen of Glock, AR, etc., we just have to wait for the occasional bone to be thrown our way.
>>217109The airsoft industry, since its inception, has been all about replicating guns that're popular and recognizable - starting with movie guns, but nowadays whenever a military gets a new AR it's easier to replicate it than it is to, say, design a Mini-14 or Hi-Point from scratch and market it successfullySure, esoteric AR builds are designed for a niche, but given that TM-spec AR AEGs are pretty much the most common platform in airsoft those guns will also just be appealing by virtue of familiarity; doesn't help that the alternatives are often considerably more expensive for equivalent or worse performance while making use of unique external/internal parts, which is often a dealbreaker for the average consumer that just wants something that'll work decently well and can be worked on by most techsAll this to say: it's neither the industry's nor customer base's fault that popular things people recognize sell well and get large amounts of press, while obscure niche guns for obscure niche people naturally don't receive as much attentionIt's gotten a lot better nowadays - more companies than ever seem interested in starting to reach out a little further and try something new, but it's always going to be an uphill battle to go from designing to selling platforms that by their very nature are only going to be purchased by a very specific subset of people (hell, a lot of the niche stuff that's been released in recent times is arguably coming out because of media suddenly bringing them to light - like the Raptor Grach and Kizuna PL-15 coming out after Tarkov's rise in popularity brought a lot of funky Russian guns to the community's attention)TL;DR supply and demand drives the market, there's a lot of demand for guns people recognize so they get more attention and the industry provides itAt least the 3DP community exists to make more niche designs a reality, even if it comes with the limitations and up-front costs associated with such a thing - GBB Hi-Point when
It's the weekend, anons. Did you go out and get some fresh air yet?
What kneepads (up to 50 USD/40 EUR) can you guys recommend? Fag'teryx doesn't appear often enough in good condition where I live and I would prefer something new. Is altaFLEX really better than it's clones?
>>217560use pants with removable kneepads. Crye
>>217561I kind of would like external kneepads more, because I do have multiple shirts and pants of old milsurp I like.
>>217560Hard to recommend something so unique for each person. Pants with built-in kneepads are great, but I, too, prefer external kneecaps because of how rough I am on my knees. Personally, I like the old school kneecaps from when I did lots of skating. They're cheap enough and I can wear them loose closer to my shins because I don't need the AT my knees.
>>217547Went out, got some good work out of the cheapo CO2 pistol. I had not updated my camo from summer green bias to more tan and brown for fall, but still did quite well in terms of sneaking
>>217662Quick and dirty recolor. It's a bit scuffed but I either painted it now or it wouldn't be painted for next week.
>>217664>>217662Quite neat painting, though the fact grip is mounted with zipties and blocks the charging handle tickles my autism. I'm thinking about painting my cyma's XM16E1, but I am still debating whether I should try making faux wood grain, some pseudo camo, or just painting furniture with OD or RG rattle can.
>>217688Yes I did block the charging handle. When I first got the gun I stayed very neat to keep it able to move, but I've chilled out since it really isn't functional to anything except changing the hop and I have that dialed in. FWIW, the grip is on a segment of rail that is held on with hose clamps that are covered in electrical tape. The zipties are only holding on the flashlight which was a last minute addition. The eventual dream is to find a surefire GripLight to replace both pieces. If I had a CAR I'd paint the whole thing, but if you are hesitant, some self stick camo wrap gives you camo with easy ability to remove it with no residue
>>217696* my brain thought CAR but the comment stands for M16. You can also make a camo wrap with a length of 550 cord with various scraps of camo tied to it. Put a thick rubber band (Ranger band if you are feeling like doing it really tight) on the front and back of the barrel and then wrap the 550 around it. Another easy to remove or modify way to camo
>>217696>>217697Not even really concerned with blending in, just kinda wanting to make my replica a little bit more special desu.
gonna get my first pistol for practicing, plinking at home/yard(mostly in bedroom/basement)there's a store near me I might go in and get some stuff. I have $350 to spend. i just don't know which one to get.i was thinking of the glock or 1911. but if there's something better for a noob, i'm interested.
>>217735KJW 1911(Co2 because it's based unlike g*s)
>>217735>>217788hpa it
>>217735KJW G17 or Hi-Capa (in essence, a double-stack 1911), while they're available with CO2 mags I'd recommend using gas magazines instead - they're based on two of the most common designs on the market (the Tokyo Marui G17 Gen3 and Hi-Capa), so mags are plentiful and there's plenty of aftermarket if you want to upgrade things (or you manage to run the thing hard enough to break something - my G17 hasn't had any issues in the years I've had it, though) They do also make single-stack 1911 replicas, but in my opinion they aren't worth it since AFAIK unless you deliberately down-load the magazines, they require CO2 in order to have usable gas efficiency which will beat the hell out of the gun - their Hi-Capa (KP-05/KP-08 are the standard 5.1" models, KP-06 is the 6" Xcelerator model which uses a special lengthened slide and frame) and Glock (KP-17, or KP-13 for the "Glock lawyers said no" version sold by some retailers) are the safest bets
>>217788i have it on my list thank you kindly :)>>217790that gun you showed looks sick. i def want that one. i will follow your advice kind anon and go for the gas you mentioned.mostly i'll just be shooting in my bedroom with a large blanket to absorb the shots. and even so most times i think i just want it to be displayed in my room near my computer.
>>217790counterargument: the KJW Co2 magged 1911's are way more fun and consistent, because of the recoil being way stronger.
>>217842>Co2>consistentpick one
>>217855>implying gas is consistentwhat?
>>217856co2 is the fucking WORST for gbbs in general, also the consistency comes how well the nozzle seals against the mag router.
>>217878At room temperature:CO2 - 800PSIpropane - 120PSIThis does mean it holds functioning pressure down to lower temperatures, but it also means it's beating the piss out of your gun, and not every gun sold with CO2 mags is actually redesigned to handle CO2 pressures long-termAdd on that CO2 is susceptible to far more rapid and severe cooldown with any significant amount of fire and it becomes obvious why your higher-pressure gas of choice for colder temps should be MAPP/propylene gas loaded into standard gas mags, not CO2 loaded into CO2-specific mags
thanks for the recs in the past two threads, as I set up my first airsoft gun with help from here.managed to find some chinks making a 16.5 barrel with the lug.it's so much fun but fuck it's heavy, I promise I'm not weak.
>>217911also C-more because it's basted
>>217911>>217912SEXOOOOOOOO
Brazilians are the most powerful race in the world.
>Someone making a milsim groupSweet. I have just the right kit->He wants everyone to do 5 km runsIt was nice knowing you all.
>>217949>milshitters forgetting that larp is meant to be fun and not cope for neverservedlike pottery
>>217952Milsimming attracts many humourless men who take themselves too seriously, no event they organise is going to be a barrel of laughs, though I'm sure not all of them are completely dull.
>>217953From my personal experience, casual sunday games groups are coolest, though admittedly often least autistic (in both good and bad way) and not nearly consistent or dedicated as one might be. 'Just frens who play airsoft' kind of deal is comfy.
>>217949>>217952>>217953Dude, working out with a group is fun, maybe even more fun than playing BB gun war. Y’all are making a lot of assumptions.
>>217956It's not a reason for many people to play airsoft and go to milsim events in the first place desu. Stuff like that can be fun to some people, but to many it comes off as too much and a bit of cringy/too serious. At the very least it's not 'muh real training with real soldiers' kind of bs and does some actual improvement.
>>217966from my understanding, the whole "you must do X ruck distance" is there to ensure players can actually handle the event (see MSW) and not fall out because they didnt train for it. i agree that people go to events for fun but its not fun for others when everyone has to slow down because of you or you get so exhausted within the first few hours that you leave
>>217967I understand the concern, but from my own experiences, average working person (which isn't a pinnacle of physique) can handle it. However in case of fat fucks that don't have to do anything physical ever I can see it being a genuine concern.
Do you guys prefer clean, fresh looking guns, or ones stylized as worn out/beaten up?
how much do you need to spend to have fun
>>217970Fun is subjective. You can have a lot of fun playing with single shot shotguns for $20-40 though being quite outclassed, or pay $100-150 for cheapest gameable AEG's. Probably $200 is a starting point for getting everything you'll need. $300 is much more comfortable than that, though.
>>217971salient arms m870 looks cool
>>217972yeah, though i'd cry if I were to lose shells.
>>217967I went to a "Milsim" event last summer. of 150 players, we had ~30 actual people in game after about four hours, including my retard friends that paid $7k for night vision just to play the night part.
>>218018that tracks, alot of people flake because of stupid shit since they either couldnt be bothered to prepare for the game or are just going to a game they know they cant play the entire time (the latter is just stupid)
>>217968the average working person barely works out to begin with, and the fat fucks who refuse to put down a burger are the most insufferable people
>>217971looking at a 200 yuro folding cyma ak now. is something like that worth ricing out later if i like it?looks like locally there's a game ~2 time a year and a big nationwide larp thing annually here.
>>218034if it's a VFC clone yes TM no
>>218025I'm saying that even though they do not work out, they can take it just fine.
>>218034Cyma AK's are really good out of box, all I did in mine was changing barrel, bucking and nub and it does reach 70m+
>>217911Extremely sweet setup. Are you planning to run a kit for it too?
>>218048When are they going to launch their full-steel line with the stock mosfet?
>>218119Supposedly they premiere in march, so likely it'll be at least june before they start being sold.
>>217911>>217912I hate NGRS
>>217932>>218086"kit" as in for playing? don't think so outside of just a west to slap taco pouches onto since there's no airsoft anything anywhere close to where I'm at.>>218154>I hate NGRShow so?I read that they are some of the better options for OOB.
>>218170I hate niggers
>>218179same bro
>>218179Tokyo marui should probably lay off making airsoft rifles dedicated to NGRS
>>217911Hold on there...16'' barrel set up for the front sight post pins? Shipped to hueland?Can I ask for more info? Trying to set up a dissipator build, pic related, and being unsure of what outer barrel to get is being the bottleneck here.
>>215905I love this image, I can't tell if it was seriously made or a troll image but it's one of the top images ever made on the internet.
Is it acceptable, okay, and mentally healthy to get yet another bb gun that is a replica of something neat instead of instead actually finishing any loadout or even getting enough mags for the last buy?Trying to figure out where to funnel end of the year money.
>>218579not. knower
>>217969Spray painted and camo wrapped and then naturally worn over time from gameplay. Adding faux wear always looks like shit.
>>218579Hard to know in advance but my second purchase got 10 times the use of my original HK416 gun.
>>218558idk, mine is just a standard 416 gas block with https://www.haoptwart.com/product-page/hao-s-m27-and-416n-look-set-6-barrel-extension-and-bayonet-lug and a VFC front folding sight.
>>218579Invest it in bitcoin. And by this time next year, you'll either have lost everything, or earned enough for 10 guns.lol so randum curency!
>>217969I keep everything pristine. But time wins in the end and things eventually wear down.But fake worn is gay as hell. Not only are you LARPing as a soldier, but now you're also LARPing as someone who's active and not a couch potato.
>>218652Nah, fake wear is fine with the right loadout. Try doing a Somali pirate or Mad Max type loadout with a brand new rifle, doesn't work at all.>>218119>>218136I don't think the full line up has launched but Red Wolf has this one in stock. Supposed to be full steel other than the outer barrel (aluminum for weight), also features an ETU, 13:1 gears, QSC and strong motor. Pretty nice.

Is airsoft strictly milsim? It seems that way but I want to come up with some crazy cyberpunk type costumes to wear.
>>218708you can larp as whatever you want
>>218708Milsim is dying out. A lot of fields nowadays have half the players running around in basketball shorts and sneakers. I blame the shift of popular video games from having serious military themes to being zany cartoon fortnite characters. So go wild, nobody cares anymore.
>>218717stick to /pol, queer
>>218708>he doesn't dress as a glowie
>>218718Nobody ever cared, unless it was a strictly milsim event.
Evike Box of Awesomeness... is it worth it /xs/?
>>218721i like fit and fa more
>>218768never are, it's their way of offloading all the crap they can't sell. It's how all mystery boxes work.
a while ago i got me a cyma svu, its a piece of work with the 4 gear box with the high gear ratio and absolutely no space to upgrade or tinker around especially with the proprietary bullshitbrought it to a guy who does this for a living to shorten the inner so i can remove the original suppressor and slap on a tracer unit, besides that he opened it up to lube it and whateverfucker was suffering with the reassembly so its visibly fucked up on multiple areas including one of the battery cables being chipped, which i had to fix with some heat shrink, and had to maneuver it around so i could fit the battery again and actually connect it toothing is, he fucked up something good because now the full auto is not working, he was babling on about a switch that maybe overturned but didn't help me at all, now tho i checked the gun again because i had a feeling i have to charge it, its been collecting dust for a while, and now the full auto worked for a hot minute, after which the battery diedremoved and charged it for about half an hour, put it back on and now the full auto mode is dead againwhat did this retard fuck up, how, and can i fix it by just disassembling and putting something back to its place? its a modernized version of the svu with rails and such, and apparently cyma has no insttructions for it, only for the older dragunov style one
>>218864hpa it (unironically)seriously the SVU and the SVD gb's are absolute mess i wouldn't touch that shit with a ten foot pole
Hello I'm a retard and trying to get into playing airsoft. Does anyone know if US stores like Evike still ship to NY state? Amazon cock blocked me when I was trying to compare prices. I don't live in the city, where I think this stuff is specifically illegal, but often retailers get cold feet when NYC does something retarded and they adopt a blanket ban.
>>218876not really a fan of having a tube connected to the gun, but it would also be a bit pricey, would rather just fix the auto for the moment, im not taking it out enough to warrant a conversion
>>218864So safe and semi both work correctly? When you put in on full, can you hear the gearbox trying to turn over or is it completely silent?If it's the former, I would start by getting a whole different battery that is 100% known to be fully charged and working correctly and try it again. Electrical issues can sometimes render the battery FUBAR. If you had a short, it may be toast. It may have just enough juice to cycle semi a couple shots but not full auto.
>install crusader 2 stage trigger>it goes safe without cockinggod why for fuck's sake
Anyone know of an airsoft grade lookalike for the RS Regulate mount? I could just buy the real one, but it seems stupid to waste real gun accessories on airsoft.
>>218912>buys product with know issue before doing research>wtf?????
gonna fuck up my furniture like a boss
>>218957I knew and I thought it would not be a big deal but it turns out it acts as cocking status checkerim retarded
>>218934eBay item number:266353586643claims to fit 14-18mm barrel which should fit an AKI made a flashlight rail for mine out of a scope base so it attaches to the side rail. Aluminum bar bolted to it that comes up the side several inches so I can activate the light with my thumb.
>>218902the solution they have is pretty retarded, the traditional ak handle to switch safe/semi/auto is actually semi/semi/auto, and theres a safety at the triggersafe blocks the trigger completely, can't fuck up much there, all 3 states on the handle is safethe battery should be fine, when im saying its struggling to do auto, i mean it just fires as regular semi, like its turned semi, and not like theres not enough juice, i played like this anyway and it did well for a 2 hour session, at home fucked around with it some more and it was still going strong
>>218988I tried a chinesium mount like that already. I want to mount the flashlight to the side but I couldn't because the gas tube got in the way of the mount's "wings".
Just bought a boneyarded rental Lancer AR for $20. Plugged a battery in and it seems to work. The plastic air nozzle is cracked and I can replace that with a metal one for $10. Otherwise it's just dirty and the o-rings are blown out. I think I actually did ok?
>>219050Yeah. Personally I wouldn't take an AEG if I was paid but whatever.
>>219060a gay ass hpa is as much a toy as a queer aeg you cuck
>>218989>>218989With AKs, sometimes you'll have a wire or something inhibiting the movement of one the selector gears, usually on the back left. That could cause it not to go 'quite' all the way down, or in your case not be able to reach full-auto.I would just take the GB out of the receiver and give it a look. It may work fine outside the receiver, and just need more careful reassembly. Wouldn't think that you'd need to open the GB. The only thing that seems like a pain is the trigger being in front of the GB. Hopefully the wiring is long enough to pull it out without disassembling anything further.
Anyone done a comparison between Arcturus, Well and Dboys AK-12 magazines?

>>218965As a guy who's done this on real gun wood, I had great success and got a really nice orange color by bleaching the wood and then dying it with iodine before the shellac.
I'm gaythis is really important, what airsoft gun do I buy?
>>219558P90
>>219558Free butthole alert! Free soft butthole coming to a BB gun battle near you!
>>219558>>219601Grim.
>>219558a bullpup. because you get loaded in the rear. like all bullpup users.
>>219560>>219615I'm gonna buy one of these drum mags.Then I'm coming for your buttholes.
>>219639if you are getting into airsofting i do have some advice. Go for a M4 or AK platform. simply put though some guns are cool and fun to use. what you should really be mindful of are the wide arange of companies that offer parts and gear that fit around these 2 models of airsoft guns. I been thinking about getting a MP5 recently. but I already have a M4 platform.
How long does Evike take to ship? Placed an order with them exactly a week ago, still "dispatched to warehouse" today.
you need more?
>>219778I need less.t. shooting glasses and mouth guard enjoyer
>>219778airsoft is a fashion show so yes
My local airsoft group has become that was full of Gen X and millenials has completely changed. the boomers have turned 40 and 50 and just want to sit in the background and let millennials and zoomers play the sport. the problem with this is that the organizers that are "too old" to go play now just insist that their indoor facility is best. where its literal fortnite zoomers running around dual wielding pistols. the sport has changed so much and the people that use to run a good show are just too old. I dont think they are too old, but thats what the ground they now stand on. what a pathetic ground that is.
>>219848Millennials are 40.
>>217560Emerson makes a replica of the Arc Teryx and if you go by the quality of their most recent G3 kneepads, they should be pretty good
>>219778I just use a 2-hole balaclava, some goggles, and a painter's mask to redirect my breathing away from the goggles
>>219778Yes.
>>219778I use similar kit, but with wosport's knight mask (cygnus mask ripoff but uglier) instead of mouth piece and balaclava as separate pieces.
>>220019vaccinated?
>local celebritard authority says even more incorrect, easily verifiable shit its crazy how slow information and knowledge moves in this hobby.
>>216315stavros?????
>>220022Nah, I ate the bat soup and got this. Not best looking balaclava, but it's best mouth protection i've had so far; it doesn't make breathing harder unlike most stuff i've had (rubber insert masks, balaclavas with metal mesh tucked in) and it also doesn't get in the way of aiming like full mesh masks, or paintball masks.
How can I find games and/or teams to join without facebook? Really hate how the entire community decided it was too lazy to log into 'literally any other site' other than the corporate spy apparatus they use to keep in contact with their grandmother.

>>220082>How can I find games and/or teams to join without facebook?Unfortunately your best bet is biting the bullet, and using facebook. Sometime there are regional discord communities, but they usually advertise on facebook anyway, and some of them shut down when they banned trading tactical gear and airsoft replicas.
>>220085>he's not a Co2 cartridge chadDon't even speak to me
>>220082in the early 2000's my local airsoft group had a whole website where they would inform people where the event was and to sign up for food. i think it got taken down because of glowies. I dont use social media, but i will just call up the organizers directly if i want to go play.
dont want random ass citizens learning military shit for larping i guess. makes them a little too uncomfortable to fathom.
What's a good viper hood/Ghillie top ?
>>220082>his country doesn't have a website where most organizers announce games Lmao how's living in the 3rd world like?
>>220092>CO2way to oust yourself as a retard
>>220097There were reports from ~2017 - pandemic of really ham-fisted glownigger infiltration attempts of random reenactment groups. Obviously, they tended to target the WW2 German groups, but I heard some milsim groups were caught up in it as """potential militias""". It really ramped up around the boogagloo scare (2020-21) when some of those groups had to keep "we disavow and condemn ______" letters on file in case their more /pol/itically motivated members attended a protest in full kit + patches. A few have actually had to use them.
>>220035It's decent, I find it better than the other version that only covers your mouth which I found rather uncomfortable. But I still use steel mesh with padded cheeks for all close quaters stuff.
>>220151I do not need to aim down the sights in CQB so I just wear full mask desu. It's amazing for big outdoors imo.
>>220116The USA? It’s a shithole.
>>220203AirsoftC3 is a website compiling retailers and fields all over the US, might be worth checking if you're looking for somewhere to play
Sure
