Colonel Kurtz

Trying to find them again, i'd waded pretty far into some US forums after seeing a couple youtube vids of the guns in action, 2004-5 this guy did it i believe. If i kept browsing history be easy to find this, and measure my porn intake lol. Will keep looking...

Basically i spent about £3k at overclockers.co.uk, was on sale from about £4k as was just before another line of intel cpu came out. Beauty of working for my own IT ltd company is it's a company asset and pretty much paid for by my tax&VAT I've got a 6core i7k overclocked to about 4.5ghz 2 x titan in crossfire 32gb 2400 RAM (i do actually have music&3D software to use it) Might only be 16gb in there in this pic, got free upgrade after the CPU went bang, along with the latest k series cpu that had prompted the pc to be put on sale in the first place. 2 x 512 SSD Can't see it in the pic but I've got a MOTU 24i/o soundcard, think can just see the corner of the pci card it connects to. i refused to buy one of the overclockers '8pack' series as anyone who calls themself '8pack' is a d*ckhead of petre andre proportions, and all the pictures of him flexing/frowning infront the PC's seemed to confirm this. So got this 'Infinity' series one instead with a similar spec. i could have built this myself and saved about £500, but doing it this way meant i could buy a 3 year warranty, and have it picked up and repaired/replaced everytime something goes bang from overclock.

Ahaha i watched Neon Genesis this weekend, assuming that were you got the image from? I'd forgotten how much of a Freudian head-fuk it gets and kinda skipped through alot of the last few episodes (the redone ones)

I finally managed to find an inner barrel that'll fit, 208mm G3SAS. The JG stardragon came with a 195mm one, and the only other gun i can find listed that uses one is a UMP, and no-one selling in UK seems to have made a barrel for it. Some american company called Eagle did, but i cba to import one from the states when the 208mm G3 one will work, and that'll prob stop me loosing another 5-10fps lol. I'm expecting a drop from its current 280 @ 260mm to about 240-50 @ 200mm. This frees me up to put a flash-hider on it, and am trying to find something interesting, pointy would look good. Figure i've got until the spring to find one when i start heading out to woodland sites again and dont need the tracer unit. For another sight I am considering a tubular red-dot with jagged edges, and possibly a similar torch on the side-rail once i've bolted it on. managed to find these, just deciding if i can be bothered to spend the dosh as they're both in the 50-80 quid range. Agree the stock does give it a fat ass, seems to be a common theme with all the Seburo (&inspired) rifles. Unfortunately there's so many M4 out there that it's hard to find a stock that looks remotely unique and doesn't just make you think M4. Magpul style ones are a step in the right direction but i'm hoping to design and make my own. I could either fix some pannels to an existing stock or brush up the CAD skills and maybe make it my first dive into 3D printing... Still deciding, may just try modifying an existing one and if i come up with something good then maybe get it printed. The original Poseidon kit came with a pretty cool looking grip, and i agree that def something that needs to be swapped to make it look less M4. Hopefully i can find one that looks similar to the Poseidon one. Have to admit to me that'll be the most daunting thing to do as I'm pretty terrified of setting the motors height/AOE correctly I'm still also trying to decide whether to drill the holes out the front, or to just try keep the indents black while painting the rest of the panel dark grey, if i didn't get the painting perfect would look proper naff.

we're not quite at the US state of some crack head sueing you for emotional trauma after you threaten him with a RIF, but not too far away. but yeah i doubt an airsoft gun will improve the scenario. i second chocks suggestion of a crossbow if you're actually worried about home defence. for all the legal shite we have to go through to buy a RIF or air-rifle, or shotgun, to buy a crossbow I only had to sign my name on a receipt, and that name could have been anything. If they thought i was under 18 they could have i.d. me, but not taken a record of it. A crossbow will nail someone to a wall and a RIF will f*ck them off. one thing an ex-copper told me is that if you do defend yourself, it's best to be with something that only requires one hit to do the job as it hugely increases the chance of it being considered a defensive act, and more than one hit hugely increases the odds of it getting you in trouble. e.g. burglar breaks in and attacks you, you hit him with a wooden bat and it knocks him back, you then hit him several more times until he is unconscious/subdued. those several more hits to knock him out are very likely to get you in trouble as only the first one is considered a necessary act of defence, the rest was offensive despite your end goal only being defending your home/family. apparently you're less likely to get in trouble if in the same scenario, you smacked him in the head with a hammer and knocked him unconscious instantly. he went as far to say that you'd be less likely to get in trouble if that one hit killed the person as it's a single frenzied act of you trying to defend your own life. but this ex-copper was a pint-of-best wielding piss-head and possibly talking out his ass.

"Shake it baby" & "Wanna dance?" certainly the most memorable lines from any computer game for me, but i did hear it far too many times

Yeh to be honest it's not my favourite either, if i could pick any sci-fi gun for airsoft this would be quite near the bottom, but was the easiest place to start as a freebie. Any of the other kits made by Poseidon would have been much much better, but they don't ship overseas, or respond to poorly google-translated emails requesting collection via fedex lol. I did consider a nerf-gun, and there's even some US dude whoose made pretty comprehensive guides on converting them, but they're bit too chunky for my liking, and they're not really sci-fi. I looked at trying to make a phaser rifle, but found it suprisingly impossible to find a suitable model to start with. £500 solid metal casts of props was all i could find My next project may be more appealing; a grenade launcher built into a replica of the EMP gun from the Dark Knight. So far i have the EMP gun, which is just a resin cast. It looks pretty box ugly, but its freeking batman so cool by default. However, i dont intend to dress up as batman to use it as i'm pretty sure i'd look more like Kickass in spandex Hopefully in future i can revive my crafting skills enough to make a bodykit/conversion entirely from scratch.

Hehehe that's the reaction i expect from most, as 'real-steel' is the ethos most people seem to prefer in airsoft. Personally i find that kind of pseudo-solderism hilarious. May need to use a flame-proof final paint coat just incase! I just prefer to look like i fell out of a teleporter rather than kicked out of a helicopter as surplus balast

Current phase of my Ikazuchi project. I was donated the JG StarDragon by a friend who had used it for cosplay. He actually thought it was the Poseidon original, but a quick glance showed it didn't have actual holes in the front and was the JG clone. The JG M4 inside it had broken, gear box shreaded/imploded (probably due to the 120% spring) and had damage to the trigger guard. So far I've managed to remove the terrible paint job done to it by my friend and the underlaying JG crepe car dashboard rubber spray and silver paint, and give it a base coat of krylon fusion matt black (which has gone abit shiny in places from friction of use) I inserted a TM High Cycle M4 in the place of the terrible JG. This required re-wiring the battery from solid stock to front, replacing the solid stock with sliding tube one, removing the RIS handguard and replacing the outer barrel with the one from the JG Next steps are; - Skirmish it more and see how it handles, feels good so far. - Finishing installing a laser in the front section, just need to make some better internal mounting for it as having issues with the AEG battery pressing against it and knocking out of alignment. - Building in a small torch into the bottom of the front handguard. I only need a very weak thin one capable of lighting the floor beneath my feet (so don't fall down the stairs in The Mall) - Adding side rail on a flat panel - Possibly building in the PEQ box from xcotech x3300w, if i can persuade a friend with decent electronic abilities to change the LED screen in it from a direct mount into the main board to a wired one. May just stick it on a side-rail. - Might buy a better looking scope for it, but not too bothered as dont really use them. - Might change the inner barrel to a shorter 20cm one like in the JG to prevent having to use the barel extension to use a tracer unit. - Give it final paint-job, much more detail and some panels in a gun-metal-ish dark grey.

If it's male-grooming, spray tans and the like perhaps cash in on the TV fad with "The Only Way is Jambo" or "The Essex Embassy"

If your getting a P90 save up abit and get the Tokyo Marui High Cycle Has served me very well in CQB and even those that dont like marmite/p90 cant argue with its performance Simply the best P90 out there and sooo glad i saved and spent the extra. Only downside is you'll see/hear everyone else talking about upgrading their guns and you wont have to, and tinckering is fun.

i cant tell, all the reviews seem like a comic parody and i'm worried if i read too many reviews i may turn orange or my penis shrink to barely half its reported length. perhaps the 'project z' one which has as much of a link to zombies as a chance of shooting the reported 100m of the last review...

And they have to take it all very seriously, regardless of how ridiculous it turns out to be in hindsight. i got nicked by armed police after some freek phoned the police to say a party i was at was a house of crack-dealers holding his (freshy-ex) girlfriend there hostage at gun-point. Went out into the garden for a ciggy and promptly poo'd my pants when faced with guns, torches and conflicting orders to not move and submit. Fortunately i looked about as dangerous as Chachi from Happy Days and with nothing gun-looking in my hands I survived un-tapped lol. this is why im never going to an airsoft party lol

i painted my first two-tone airsoft gun black immediately after researching the VCRA, asking lots of questions, even phoning my local police-station, and comming to the following conclusions; - Converting an immitation firearm into a realistic immitation firearm is listed in the VCRA as being illegal, like owning one at all, unless you have a valid defence that excempts you from this law. - 51% bright paint coverage is a defined standard for the difference between 'realistic' or not. - The only generally accepted 'defences' are that you can prove it is for use in airsoft, re-enactment or film use, rather than robbing banks etc. Even then it's case by case and there's no defined legal standard for prooving such a defence. - UKARA is a retailers standard for proving that defence is genuine, but not an actual defence/license itself. - An excuse only becomes a defence if you can prove it, again the UKARA standard isn't a legal minimum for proving a defence, just a minimum standard accepted by a retailers association for selling you the stuff. As I was planning on playing airsoft not robbery, I felt i had a valid defence. I could not yet prove this defence to the accepted UKARA standard, but i had proof of going to airsoft sites. I figured UKARA might help me prove my defence if i ever had to in future so i'd still apply for it. But i wasn't very concerned about that as my only chances of having to prove it was if i got stopped by the police with the gun in transit, and that'd only be going to an airsoft site i'd have a confirmed booking at. Or if my house got raided/entered by the police for some other reason. The copper at my local pig-cage told me on the phone that as long as i wasn't stupid enough to brandish it in public, or within direct sight of the public (my neighbours), then i'd be very unlucky to have to provide a defence, and that if they came across them they'd confiscate the guns on the spot regardless so they could be inspected and then whether i had the relevant 'defence' investigated (always a chance of a policeman being understanding and letting you on your merry way but thats the official-line) SO in summary i chose to consider myself having a valid defence and little odds of having to prove it, so just painted the gun. Even with UKARA, i and anyone else owning a RIF still have a risk of not being able to sucesfully proove a defence, so it's a personal decision on whether you feel you could proove a defence, and how that likelyhood weighs against the penalty for not being able to proove it.

Latest comment: "Amazing Put a 11.1V battery in and it will have a better rate of fire than most pro guns. They cost around £15 and honestly they will improved your gun so much" Who here put that feedback and is cackling mr burns style at the thought of a spotty kids gun imploding eh??

Yeah looks like it, but the dovetail is too high and stops any of the accessories clamping onto the edges properly. I'll consider that one too as ordering within uk will be easier, although says it's weaver not picatinny, will have to check how wide the bars that fit in the gaps are on my scopes etc, whatever they're called

What i bought looked like Picatinny with dovetail on top, but wasn't picatinny so i thought it must be weaver, but the measurements dont match that either. Think it's just a bit o crap made to probably fit a scope mount in some generic fashion. Will give airsoft peak a look thanks

I bought a Strike M16 carry handle scope mount, to find it dissapointingly doesn't fit RIS accessories, scope mount fits so technically does what it says on the tin. Anyone know of an M16 carry-handle rail that does fit RIS stuff?

1950s was when they trialled tatoo'ing all US citizens with blood-group tattoos in Utah, in another one those hilarious 'duck-and-coverish' countermeasures for a soviet nuclear strike. they got to about 1000 people tattoo'd before deciding was pointless. was also the first use of a specific type of tattoo gun, and how i stumbled across the story. I'm sure i've seen blood-group tattoos being used to identify a corpse as a specific brand of soldier in a terrible US military crime drama, JAG or something similar.

No i don't think you should because that's a blurred line the OP clearly didn't need or want advice relating to, and as Lozart says, there's equal chance anything on the classifieds is nicked. If the forum is that bothered then why do you not insist on proof of purchase/ownership for all items on the classifieds? In summary i expected the OP to be scared-off from the start, but by "show us ur tits" not "show us ur receipt". I am entirely un-bothered, just midly amused. All your hearts were in the right place, you just get 0/10 for execution, and left staring at an empty seat opposite wondering if there's a 20minute queue for the toilets or something

reading this thread was like watching an episode of the big bang theory, see how quick you nerds scared her off with unnecessary talk of legal issues

Quite alright soldier, as you were (I'm keeping the rank until martin sheen sneaks into my house with a machete, although might be able to make a deal involving getting Charlie off crack...) Keep us updated with your progress, is definately something the forum will want to see!
