    This thread, I posted the screenshots from that FB link in there if you want to take a look.

    The FB post hasn't been removed though, but it's in a private group you many not be a member of (sniper ops), this would explain why you can't see it.

    I wish Helikon would follow suit and make one in their 'adaptive green' so it would match my chest rig from them

    or an A-Tacs iX one so I can match my TMR ☹️

    Sent Emperion a message, asked if they could show me the pack rigged to a tmr to check if the buckles are compatible.

    I tried strapping my Condor hydration bag to it but for some reason the buckles aren't compatible.

    Condor male buckles fit too tight while the helikon ones don't lock.

    If they are kind enough to answer and they actually fit, i'll order one in either grey or OD and give it a paintjob to match the iX palette

    Perun ETU upgrade test tomorrow :)

    May even write a "first impressions" review.

    Found my old ICS inner barrel.

    185mm long, not sure about the diameter but I suspect a 6.08/6.05, has a nice grey finish, made of aluminium (or aluminum?).

    It's just 5 centimetres longer than my ARP inner (128mm, shit finish).

    Shall I go for a swap?

    ICS stock barrels are actually fairly good and definitely an upgrade on the ARP. It is Aluminium but very nicely made considering. 5CM will make a fair amount difference, you might want to check your FPS on full auto as the cylinder might not be matched.

    Swapped barrels, it falls just short of my sound hog.

    (Terribad pic, I know)

    If this setup ends up working well, I will get a 5.5cm barrel extension machined next week so the whole inner is covered and I can use a madbull gemtech can.

    It looks good with the trademarks and, in a minimal way, muffles the muzzle sound.

    Believe it or not but at range it actually worked on my old ICS.

    Also yeah, I'll have to check the fps and correct the cylinder volume ratio/cut down the spring.

    Binary triggers are excellent meme dispensers xD

    Can't wait to test it on Sunday 

    Had a nice game, but the arp died :(

    tappet plate committed suicide, and I believe the piston rack followed the example..

    Each to their own!! 

    Personally I think it’s on par with turning an MP5 into a DMR, but if your toy and money at the end of the day :)

    Speaking of DMR'd mp5s, someone actually did it on this forum.

    Ok.

    Here's a part list:

    9" M-Lok Ares handguard €33 (40% off at a local shop).

    12cm barrel extension (not sure about the actual length) €12.

    M4 buffer tube €10.

    Zci or Madbull black python v2 240mm €25.

    That's the externals.

    Internally I'm only fixing the air seal, swapping the hop chamber with a retro arms I have in a drawer and swapping the crap ETU mosfet with a Perun ETU upgrades kit. Maybe a new piston if the teeth are worn.

    The front end should be a copy of my honey badger, if not a bit shorter (can't remember if my HB has a 9 or 10 inch handguard), which is still workable in tight spaces.

    Would it work?

    3 days into the new job.

    Someone broke into the office last night and stole.....

    A plant.

    A fucking plant.

    Nothing else is missing, just a plant.

    Festivities like Halloween.

    Those days in which people who have disappeared for months and avoided any kind of contact from you suddenly resurrect from the depths of oblivion they jumped in head first, only to drag your tired ass from a 12h nonstop work day into a town that's dead 360 days a year, surrounded by crowds of teenagers looking to get drunk and have sex with someone they won't even remember if it's a male or female, followed by people with no less than 50 years desperately trying to achieve the same.

    I fucking love festivities.

    Also these sons of bitches are fucking late as always and it's pouring like hell.

    Thank God I'm moving back to my parents tomorrow because I've finally found a decent paying job.

    So I can buy a house.

    On top of a mountain.

    And not having to deal with all this shit ever again.

    Or maybe I just need to see a psychologist.

    Anyone with experience on the plastic cobra buckle?

    I have a Helikon belt with one on and it's absolutely fine. It is more chunky than the metal ones out of necessity but it's still good.

    Skara
    Skara
    Cheers.

    OPS makes a belt with said plastic buckle for a tenner less than the metal d-ring one.

    Imma go for the plastic buckle then :)

    edit: of course it's out of stock -.-

    Hsgi sure grip or frv tailoring?

    You can buy direct from UR OPS

    Customs and extra fees though. But well, if the quality is there it may be worth..

    Colour wise?

    Pouches and holster are going to be multicam, but I'd like the belt to be of a different colour/pattern.

    My TMR is in A-Tacs iX, my Mini Mav is multicam and my jpc (which will go soon) is multicam too.

    Would ranger green be a decent looking match?

    Btw, €80 shipped.

    What a sad sack of shit I am.

    I also need a better belt, this one keeps sliding down (that's what you get for being a poor, cheap fuck)

    Used TM hi capa 4.3 for €100, yay or nay?

    if it's in decent nick i'd say why not, mine's been stellar despite having basically no provenance.

    I can try and lower the price to 80.

    Has a couple of scratches but nothing major, next week I'll check how it shoots and if the mag has any leak.

    Is it THAT hard to make milspec stuff?

    I mean, molle has some precise dimensions which can't be messed up (as in it takes some effort to), yet manufacturers keep fucking it up..

    Irony? I'm american and own a Ar15 back in the states so I definitely didnt want to cheap out on a carrier. Hence cant bring it my gun here so might as well use it for airsoft. ?‍♂️

    5.11 aren't as great as their hype would have you think.

    carlos469
    Each to their preferences at that. I do enjoy my carrier though, it fits me well vs the cheap ones I've used before it.

    Alright, let's spend money we don't have on stuff we don't need :D

    Went to the shop, wanting to buy a lot of stuff, ended up buying only a pistol taco clone..

    Holy shit, this new owner is so sad.

    Doesn't play airsoft, doesn't know what's in stock, can't tell multicam from m81.

    Another quality shop gone to shit I guess.

    1j gun vs 0.4s, will it end well?

    Bbs are grey :P

    if I can track them and they actually perform on my gun, I may even use them in a skirmish.

    if not, I'll stick to 0.3/0.32s

    Also can't dodge bbs if you can't locate me :P

    if you use the range you can be shooting at folk who dont think you can hit them so they wont dodge

    Watching a couple of walkthroughs.

    Found a 15 hours long Metro Exodus gameplay video.

    Fuck me.

    Skara vs cheaters: early fall edition.

    Decided to take out my striker for a nice chilled game day, haven't really played with it and also tested a few things like camo, sniper rig and a couple other things.

    Anyway, last 2 games of the day, I'm on attack and locate the last defender, so I ditch the bolty and go full ham with my mk23. I manage to get to 4/5 metres from him, undetected. Pull out of cover, carefully aim and proceed to dump one bb right between his eyes (all I could see was the face) with a quick follow up shot to the lower face mask. Saw both impacts clearly.

    Guy flinches, raises his gun and fires in my direction, meanwhile I had already disappeared behind my cover.

    I jump out again and put 2 in his arm before being hit.

    It's alright, he got smoked 3 seconds after by a teammate who got behind him, so everything was fine.

    Last game, on defense, I set up a quick hide from where I can see almost all of the objective area. Then a 40ish yo lady shows up, in the open, slowly walking towards the flag, checking left and right for us. I derp the first shot on the only tiny freaking branch between me and her, but she doesn't notice as my striker appears to be almost whisper quiet. I quickly load a second round and for some reason I accidentally turned on the hop, so instead of flying towards her chest, it goes straight to her mouth (she was wearing one of those cheap OD mesh goggles + plastic mask combos).

    She flinches, takes a knee. The third bb strikes her in the boob, flinches again and runs to cover as if nothing happened.

    Both these people are part of a club we invited.

    I am still confused. I thought the point of the game was to be honest.

    I've found the closer to the end of the day the less people give a fuck about rules because less consequences I suppose and probably more frustrated from previous shots they think they were hitting people with.

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    That is a fair point.  You can start the day with the best of intentions, then end it scowling and snarling at a catalogue of real or perceived foul play.

    Although fundamentally, if you're not there to take hits, why are you there?

    Skara
    Skara
    Doesn't matter too much though, I am not one who holds grudges against others.

    Will give those 2 guys a second chance next time we invite them :)

    worst case I'll be holding down the trigger for a little longer than needed. I heard bb showers encourage hit calling :P
