hey man if you're embracing the meme enough to custom build a gun then go for it, airsoft needs more people prepared to run not an m4 let alone going for proper custom kit.

Oh I'm doing it. No doubt about it.

Thanks fellas. I knew I could count on you. 👍 I 100% prefer the MWS.

God help me, for what I am about to attempt is either going to be the most stupid thing I have ever done in airsoft, or one of the best... So almost everyone who plays both airsoft and Rainbow 6 Siege has had at least a fleeting thought about making a Siege kit for airsoft. And who better to impersonate than our lord and savior Tachanka. At least thats what I thought. But hey, that'd be a pretty difficult one to do, especially for someone in the US. Hence, it was only a fleeting thought and a wistful imagination... At least until a few days ago. So what would be needed to make a proper T'chanky-kang loadout - Well, uniform, helmet, vest, ppk (lets be honest - if you use the GSh-18 then go home), 9mm AK variant (not a fan of shotguns in airsoft), and finally, the piece de resistance - the DP-28 (I know its called the RP-46 in game, but that is incorrect. The 46 is a belt-fed modern(ish) variant of the 28 meant to cut down on weight). I actually know a guy in Florida who's done a pretty decent job making a Tachanka kit - the best ive ever seen actually used in airsoft. However, at the same time he hasnt done much work to his AK (I would like to be able to field it competitively), vest is wrong (should be a 6B23), and pouches are kinda random IMO. He still turns heads on fields which is great fun, but like all mates I want to one-up him so I plan to. Of course just a bit more detail, a better-upgraded AEG, and a PPK would be enough, but I plan to go one step better. I plan to make the DP-28. So how would this work... Well, originally I thought about 3D printing the body in parts, utilizing a p90 engine and hop, then 3D print a circular shell around a P90 mag for the mag (my work with Safariland reverse-engineering guns to make holsters and accessories means I believe I could do it). That was back in the dreamer stage. However, like most of the rest of the kit I realized I already had a partial solution. I have a G&P Stoner 63a, which is top fed. If I removed the feed tray cover and mag cradle I could make a fixture that attaches to the open space left by the feed tray cover. This would eliminate the trial and error of trying to make the DP body, as I would only have to focus around the feeding from the mag (which will be a challenge itself). Better yet my 63a is already upgraded by Bingo (if you dont know him hes made some of the best custom Polarstars, but quit several years ago. I own 3 of his guns. Therefore that would hugely cut down on costs. However I could still go with the make-your-own approach - let me know. The reason Ive gotten all excited about this is that, besides the challenge the DP proposes, I have a lot of the kit already. I have a full set of Chechen ATACs, which while not quite Alfa like he wears, it is one of his uniform skins and I think works better than Alfa, which still being very close in color. C-ATACs has the added bonus of possibly being accepted as a Tan uniform, which would allow me to run with my preferred side for MilSims, but thats not a huge concern. I have a 6B23 vest, I have a PPK, so All I would have to buy would be the AK, helmet, and p90 parts for the mag. One question I do have is wether to go with the slit-style Maska 1 shown here or the glass version, which would take away from the OG Chanka look but give me a better view. I have to wear eyepro under both either way as they arent full-seal. Thoughts? I will also report on the build as it happens here. Spaz

Love R6 Seige, I've pumped more hours into that game than anything else on the PS4. Would be cool to have a load out like that. There are a few good vids of people make R6 gadgets. This one is pretty cool one where they make Blitz's shield.

I wanted to do Mira but that involves a sex change. Then I thought about Jackal but it's pretty standard. I've seen one tachanka in the UK and it wasn't that good to look at other than the helmet.

Looks like I'm a speedsofter now.

You only live once so I say go for it dude 👍 The slit version may give better airflow, that's all I can say as I know nothing of what you're talking about but it sure sounds cool.

What forums are full of useless information and users!

Ive been staring at a computer too long today soz all

And the whole hop unit is different inside! I dont know why TM went backwards with a job soooooo well done on the MWS, those flexy stamped steel hop arms :facepalm:

Stop making me like it!

personally I’d go for the mws over the MTR. I’m not a huge fan of the MTR looks, and modifying one (removing the barrel) seems to be a right pain in the arse. I belive the bcg itself is slightly different, but the actual internals are the same. It’s certainly not an upgrade from the mws in my eyes

Gap 90 sear for the striker 😁 took 2 weeks to come from Canada

The price on this is ok, but that is a hideous paint and stipple job. Looks like it was sprayed in one burst from within 1". More orange peel than the sack of easy peelers in my kitchen 😂

Woody, the mighty ball of floof.

Excellent spot! And yes in a way. He was raised by wild dogs in Chernobyl, hense his stunted growth and facial features. Unfortunately he is only good for knawing at the enemies ankles, as you can see in the photo before, his loyalty is useless (bloody wild dogs). I have tried riding him many times but we won't get into that. He has never taken a hit in his life which really f***s everyone off. During early stages of training I named him Horse hoping it would help, but now we just call him Dog. We love him though.

It's OK, I'll collect.

Crye Sand pants. Finally...
