    Another AK followed me home today.

     

    One did last week too.

     

    There's another that I fancy in the classifieds section...

     

    Is there an AKs Anonymous?

      Given how many I own and variants thereof I have owned I think I should set up some kind of support group...

    Electrolysis did have a moderate effect for me, but botox injections every six months were an incredibly painful improvement. Beta blockers help.

    The FLIR is an amazing thing to use. At night you can see just how much life is around you without you usually noticing. It allows you to track and spot animals that you can then locate visually. It's great for spotting blood from game animals. It's great for spotting squirrels and rabbits that you don't suspect are there. Zeroing with a thermal is fun. You have to heat a nail with a blow torch as the target! I expect that you would use it the same way for airsoft ish. Certainly you could light up a sniper otherwise well hidden.

    As long as they're quality BBs such as Bulldog piss yellow .12s you'll be fine.
  5. Tactical Pith Helmet
    Shoot the heaviest BBs your hop lifts and you can/are prepared to afford as a rule of thumb. Nothing wrong with any of the previous advice, in fact it's damn good, but I find it comes down to this in practice. I use .28g in most stuff and .30 in my DMR. Then again I am lazy...

    I bought some unbranded things from e-bay a few years ago. I simply bought the cheapest listed. They still work fine. I use mine each game with no probs touch wood. If they had been complete dogshit, I'd have sent them back. Several times I've bought plastic items from China for peanuts, only to have them arrive bearing an expensive brand name.

    As a purveyor of airsoft tuning bits that actually knows what the fuck you're on about, I would say 'almost uniquely odd' at the very least. 😜
  9. Tactical Pith Helmet
    Very true! Not sure how I didn't think of those. I only own four of the things and got another one today...

    TBH you don't really know what you want until you've played a bit. You also need a back up rifle. If you buy a cheap basic starter rif, you can learn the game and have a play with other people's rifs in game. That will probably tell you what you want to buy as a 'serious' rif. You can then keep the starter as a spare. Be warned though. A proper big boys rif will probably be twice the weight of a basic Combat Machine, four times the price, and only be half as reliable. TBH, I only know one airsofter with only one rif, and he is a seriously odd dude.

    Watch yourselves. That's Salma Hayek right there...
  12. Tactical Pith Helmet
    That would be useful. It would give an idea of how much work goes into getting different finishes. Top job.
  13. Tactical Pith Helmet
    That's top work from your lad. The 57 is not known as the most accurate HW, much as I personally have a soft spot for them. Surprised at the dryness of the stock, and the amount of oil it's taken. Bet it's a belter when done!

    I shot HFT for years. Weihrauch 97K tuned by Steve Pope with a Venom single stage trigger. Falcon FFP target scope in the epic. Pretty spectacular for a springer.

    TM every time.

    Cheers, sent a PM.

    Convincing your girlfriend that she's crazy is called gaslighting, and it's a dick move. Convincing her that she's a robot with artificial intelligence and implanted memories is called bladerunning, it's a Philip K. Dick move.

    Anyone any thoughts on the Double Bell 001B AKM? I remember them as a budget/shit brand. The new stuff looks pretty good, but then it would in the press. I'm after a steel and wood AKM, and there's bugger all about.
  19. Tactical Pith Helmet
    Yep. Its well known that .50 Browning, .338 LM and 6mm BB have similar external ballistic efficiency. I believe that Creedmoor 6.5 is slightly out performed by the 6mm BB. It's all down to the hop rubber. You should hear what a real TM 6mm can do at a mere 300fps!
  20. Tactical Pith Helmet
    Cheers for all the info everyone. I may give one a whirl and see how it goes. Definitely a good idea to get a few in stock I think.
  21. Tactical Pith Helmet
    If you read up on this topic its fascinating. I was taught to slightly tilt my head also. The research behind somatosensory science is worth a read.
  22. Tactical Pith Helmet
    Did Tradesoft mark the parcel with your UKARA OK?
  23. Tactical Pith Helmet
    Over the years I've had a handle and shot several people's sniper rigs. I've asked several airsoft snipers what holdover points they use for different ranges, as several rifs have been fitted with MAP style reticules. I've usually received a blank look in reply, so having someone know how to use a rangefinder and holdover might be a bit of a gamechanger.
  24. Tactical Pith Helmet
    Are these worth getting? I resent being asked £15 plus postage for a ZCI unit until AK2M4 gets some stock in. Then again I'd not begrudge the extra if the SHS unit is crap. I particularly like the way the ZCI doesn't shift when adjusted.

    Ordered my fourth AK variant tonight.  

     

    I fully expect to use the thing about once a year whilst I stick with my CYMA 028S for most opfor games.  

     

    All my rifs are hardly used bar the CM16 and cable tied and gaffer taped under folder.   

     

    I put this down to advanced idiocy tbh...
