Stuff That's Useless, but That Doesn't Stop You

Real steel Aimpoint and Eotech. Useless for woodland but great for CQB.. Not that I've CQB's recently or will do in the future....Don't want to sell them coz they look good lol!

 
I'm shooting the wrong people. Tbf just unlucky so far hitting the wrong spots for it to be easily felt.


pretty easy with only 0.5j to play with, but still possible. but like i say i think it's too good for me to call it useless lol.

surely a good red dot/holo would be great in any environment?

Engagement distances are usually 40-50m so I hazard to guess a good scope would be better... I get that if you have a shorter engagement distance then target acquisition with a red dot would be quicker as if you're using an iron sight....for some reason I fancy one of those Vortex Strike Eagles.... they just look good!

I'd still say the red dot would be very useful, i use the stacked dot on my short dot a hell of a lot more than the actual scope, only use the scope to check that my bb's are actually hitting.

when carrying 2 or more perfectly serviceable guns that out strip it in every way it becomes a little defunct. But for challange and fun factor it has in abundance. And looking pretty, I can't state that enough.

i absolutely agree, it's  a great sense of acheivement to get a kill with a gun so tiny :P

 
So far I’m just guilty of glow sticks on my plate carrier and a PEQ on my M4. 

I was at my local CQB site a few months ago..... before the dreaded lockdown?.... and a glow stick got hit by a BB without me knowing. Next thing the Marshall looks at me and says ‘you’re glowing!’.

Spose I should take them off now then ha!

 
Being a 52 year old noob And a tad on the porky side, I quickly discovered pretty much all the cool looking british army gear (plate carrier, 3l water bladder etc) turned me into a mobile sauna! Humping around any extra weight (aside from me) was killing me, i am not saying i am one kebab away from a heart attack but it sure as hell feels like it! So now unless its freezing cold i drop everything i can aside from boots, ppe and a few mags.

do i regret all those ebay bargains? Hell no, its half the fun
