Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

An awful lot of builds that I can only imagine were intended to be 'forever RIFs' with all the bells and whistles going up at the moment. I think we've all been there where you pour a lot of either/and/or time, effort, funds into a RIF that you want to be an absolute dream peace... but ultimately just becomes too hard to justify having that expense tied up while getting out to play is so limited. Makes me genuinely a bit sad, same old story I guess. If you're going to pump a large amount of funds into a single RIF, you do you, but do so in the knowledge you're getting nowhere near that back should you want/need to part with it.

I'm not versed well enough with AEGs to have any idea as to what could justify the price, but given it's also a pretty niche piece I suspect you'd be lucky to see somewhere around the £600 region.

maybe it's just me but if i'm dropping that kind of cash on a gat i'd like a little more under the hood than stock g&g.....

Plenty of people out there who don't give a damn about performance and only want the looks.

fair point, it's not a desire i share.

don't get me wrong i appreciate a nice gat but i also have a minimum standard of performance because my guns are for playing with.

 
Plus if you source the parts and build it your self it’s a couple of hundred cheaper !

 
People pay for the ‘magic’. The polished gearbox. The perfect air seal. The fact the gun will hit bang on 350fps.... 

But seriously, There will be many people who don’t have a clue about how to upgrade a gun or are afraid to do it in case they cock it up. I understand why the market is there. It’s simply coz there is a demand for it. We should never ridicule anyone whose gone down that route. 
 

I’m an example. I know my way around a next generation recoil gearbox with my eyes closed. But I can’t solder to save my life (fitting a Gate Titan and doing the soldering in this case). So I asked KoA to work on one well two of my guns as I wanted to see how a professional tech would do it. I’ve got the T-Shirt. Simple as that. Will I sell those guns? Hell no! I’ll never get my investment back. But I know they rock and that’s all that matters. 
 

And looks over performance. That’s an easy one. If I can hit a speed softer between the eyes it’s all rock n roll. ?

Not sure if this is Mack's material but here goes. 

According to wish.com this is a poster of a captured Fedayeen armoury in Iraq. They look suspiciously like cheap SMK air rifles to me

I think the L85 is from ICS and the only markings on the glock says Made in China. Not sure how that's all worth £800

Also is it me or is that spare pistol mag missing the base plate?

This TAP m9 drum mag is on Z1 for £140. Not fussed on the price. It’s just that this looks like it needs a medical procedure to remove that big zit like appendage. Do people actually run around playing with these things. ??‍♂️
