    Unlikely, too cheap, probably a crap china knock off. Depends what you are using it for, just for the look as accessory or to spot / shoot targets. Would recommend VisionKing scopes. Have a search on forum.

    mhm, they look nice!

    VisionKing vs Element/AIM-O? talking about quality, since the prices are very similar, around €65 from eBay vs €70ish at the local shop

    Is Ebairsoft.com a good website?

    they have basically all the gear i want to buy, at ridicolous prices, with free shipping...

    the only thing i found here is dated 2015, which is a while ago..

    Checked a few things, the basically only have pantac and other expensive repros (for what they are)..

    I guess I'll stick with ebairsoft and have a look at my local shops to see what they have..

    oh rip, they don't have free shipping anymore!

    i noticed, i wanted to see how much was the shipping for a €25 optic, it's €15 to italy...

    for some reason i can't cancel the order (although i didn't complete it and i didn't confirm any payment through paypal), sent them an email with the order number.

    Go in to your basket and if you haven’t started any payments then delete it and that ‘should’ cancel everything.

    Just got back from a tournament..

    Not hard at all, although we failed one objective (time ran out)...

    Just another casual 1st place ;)

    So, apparently those level 5 certified techneeeeechans are cold calling Italian numbers as well..

    Too bad they gained access to my VM and got all their crap deleted xD

    So, went to our field for a day of training, we were only 7 so we focused on things like vip escort and room clearing..

    When we got back to our cars, a group of people showed up.

    Quite usual since the hills nearby are quite nice for hunters, trekkers and families having a day in the woods, the place is only 30 kilometres from the town and on a sunny day it's ideal for those who don't like crowded beaches..

    They got closer to us, as most people do to ask questions about airsoft and stuff..

    Then a ugly af woman, who's probably been taking heroin or some other crap for most of her life asked us:

    So you like war huh?

    Our answer: no madam, the equipment and guns are only toys, we're here to have fun together and enjoy being in the woods.

    She replied: lies, you're a bunch of warmongers, you like to kill people, you're fascists! (All of that while screaming with all her energy)..

    At this point I wasn't considering her too much, but that sentence caught my attention..

    I, being as calm as a Zen master during meditation, replied to her:

    If we like war and violence and, as you stated, are warmongers, why are you the only one being aggressive and yelling and threatening us?

    She got so triggered she called the police, the police came, they had a look at our guns to see if they were within the limits (using our chrono btw) and then searched the woman and arrested her because she had drugs with her and she was living without a permit on a private land with her caravan..

    All of this while the rest of the group stood without saying a single word.

    Karma, you fucking hippie twat.

    Yeah it's a toy that's why you need a valid legal defense to own it.

    It's not a toy.

    To show up in my living room I'd have to open the door to you and that isn't happening.

    Point is she isn't a hippy. Don't be mean to hippies.

    Skara
    Skara
    I'm in Italy, there's no defense here xD

    Duff
    Yeah well you still need to not label people judged purely on their lifestyle choices, no matter what it may be. That's a dick move. 

    That moment when you haven't slept for 36 hours, you drive to your team's tournament, you forget your camo bdu at home and you're only left with your tac gear, a RED flannel shirt and a pair of jeans, yet people can't spot you and you wipe full 8 man teams on your own.

    Lmao.

    D
    Duff
    Red flannel and jeans is pretty much my loadout.

    Skara
    Skara
    But you play cqb mostly.

    I was in the woods lol.

    People literally couldn't see me 5 metres in front of them..

    D
    Duff
    True. If I were to do woodland I'd up my game to a Spider-Man onesie.

    Aaaaand no airsoft for today as well :(

    F*cking rain -.-

    What are you? A Gremlin? Surely you don't avoid showering as that means you get wet too?

    It's not me, it's my teammates being pussies..

    And btw my town's almost flooded lol, we had an exceptionally heavy downpour tonight and early morning..

    Just adds to the fun

    What's a good website to get a mtp lightweight goretex jacket?

    (I live in Italy so shipping will be a lot anyway)

    Internet banking is marvelous, it allows you do transfer money and pay for stuff without leaving your pc..

    If only my roommate's bank wasn't slower than a disabled sloth to deliver me her rent money............

    Skara
    Skara
    Sometimes it takes more than 24h from the moment she pays..

    If she pays on Thursday I see the money on Monday or Tuesday..

    Idk what's wrong with her bank, when my mom sends me money even if it's Saturday I have to wait 5 minutes tops..

    Oh wait, you're in Italy. Sorry, FPI is a British thing. I shoulda checked that first!

    proffrink

    Also you might want to look into something like Revolut or Monzo (Monzo might be UK only but Revolut is all of EU) as both allow user-to-user- transfers and support SEPA etc. for cross-country stuff. Neither charge for their basic service either and are excellent for current accounts. Both take about 10 minutes to set up too.

    Today's training:

    4 broken guns;

    2 lost radios;

    Almost killed one guy (slightly touched a rotten tree that fell 30cm away from his head)..

    Should've stayed in bed this morning...

    So, today I took my jpc out for the game instead of my usual mini mav + backpack loadout, I thought it was going to end in pain because of the weight difference but, holy cow, the thing is so comfortable to wear!

    It only took me €12 for a set of foam plates to replace the emerson plastic ones and I must say that they're one of my best purchases so far!

    It'll still be used mainly for cqb games, but damn, now I'm definitely going to wear it more for woodland games!

    Energy creep.

    Gonna "field test" it tomorrow and properly chrono my gun with .20s and .30s to have a "scientific" result..

    Just for science

    Skara

    A couple of ares amoebas.. Italian law allows airsoft guns up to 0.99j, if they exceed that they're considered rifles (lol), mine should be around 0.86 to 0.90, chronoed with .20s.. If I'm not mistaken using heavier bbs would result in a higher energy output due to: heavier bbs hold their kinetic energy more than lighter bbs, and heavier bbs stay longer in the barrel, meaning they "absorb" more energy than a lighter one, am I right?

    So I should get better range with .30s despite them having a lower velocity than .20s, and of course, more accuracy..

    Or maybe I'm just dumb and should have some sleep..

    Watching Kingsman: The golden circle.

    That brit accent is hilarious (no offense guys, but it's amazing)

    almost makes me want to get a Kingsman loadout for airsoft

    Not a patch on the first film. 

    Yes - a suit, Tokarev TT30 and a BB-proof umbrella will certainly be an eye catcher.

    Luckily, you can get an airsoft TT33 from loads of places. Shotgun launcher, not so much - would have to make it yourself, easily done with cardboard, or if you have workshop access a pile drill and lathe for an aluminium one.

    Not sure the marshalls will be too pleased when you start snapping players necks though!

    So, had some free time yesterday, fixed my kwa g19 gas leak and modded my 1200bb electric magazine to accept LiPos (the stock battery lasts for about 15 minutes)..

    Now I just need to know why my am013 stopped feeding from its own mags -.-" I only swapped the bucking with a g&g green one..

    Was thinking about getting a p* jack for one of the Amoebas for Christmas..

    Does the engine fit in there? One of my local shops says no, but I've seen people running them..

    Shall I try?

    Valken v12 fits

    Skara
    Skara
    Is it a decent engine compared to a jack?

    I mean, the price difference is high, it costs a lot less than the p* (roughly half the p* price)..

    I don't want to drop 200+€ on the valken and then have to drop another 400 on the p* because the v12 turns out to be crap.

    proffrink
    proffrink
    They're all basically the same at this point (with some exceptions like the Fusion engine or the pneumatic ones like Mancraft and DG), but Google is your friend - there should be plenty of reviews :) A Valken v12 will be absolutely fine.

    Heavy rain expected for tomorrow..

    Just when I bought new pieces of gear -.-

    Just received my new Valken Sierra goggles..

    I'll test them on sunday and maybe write down a few lines to review them!
