Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
PopRocket123 replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
£300 for a WE M4? But it's got a PTS grip and trigger guard so that's ok. Looking back he was trying to sell it for £600 as a BCM build he'd built but never skirmished. Seems like someone just wanted the rail so he decided to split it all. Trouble is he's expecting to make back all the money he poured into it. https://forums.zeroin.co.uk/forum/classifieds/rifles-smg-s-for-sale/gas-gbb-rifles-smg-s/3232731-we-m4-cqb-unskirmished https://forums.zeroin.co.uk/forum/classifieds/rifles-smg-s-for-sale/gas-gbb-rifles-smg-s/3230670-we-bcm-mcmr-build-as-new -

What Have You Learned About Airsoft Recently?
PopRocket123 replied to Cr0-Magnon's topic in General Discussion
My dad had the same problem. Last game it just went poof. No warning, no discernable reason, nothing. I'm going to keep using mine as long as it works and if it dies in just getting a warfet. -
My old bike is sat languishing at my mum's. I'd dig it out but it needs a new chain and tires. Not that I have anywhere to put it at the moment.

I'm getting the tac 41 later this year. Seems like the best option on the market right now. I want to try doing a printed chassis for it kind of like what you've pictured.

Guns You Know Are Bad but You Love Them Anyway

I looked at converting my SCAR H to a V2 5 gearbox to justify the extra length but it's really not worth the effort. -

I'm the same. You end up with a bunch of dead space and extra length. It'd be better if you could make use of that extra length like with a tracer unit or round counter hidden in the gas block or something -

That makes sense as the ones I'd seen had the hose running into the receiver. I want to making my own GBBR bullpup using printed parts and G5 internals. Not sure how well that'd hold up though. -

From what I heard it's the mags. Apparently you can get it running alright with HPA though. -

Isn't it supposed to be utter shit? -
Progress is still progress. It's all a process so even if it doesn't feel like you're where you should be, you're still not where you were.

GBBRs make more sense than AEGs for bullpups but aside from SRU kits which aren't my cup of tea, your options are limited to the Groza (hen's teeth), the Tavor (hen's teeth and also crap), the WE L85 (spotty but ok unless you're a lefty) or the GHK AUG (good if you like that sort of thing) It'd make a pretty good airsoft gun and with the modularity if the real gun it's a marketer's dream with all the aftermarket parts you could sell for it. -
It can't be overstated how the state of your mental health directly affects your physical health. Sounds like you're in a better place now though.

Following because I've got an idea for a custom helmet/face shield thing.

I'm no expert but if you cum black you should probably see a doctor -

There seem to have been a lot of horror stories just recently. Airtac UK is collaborating with another guy to make impact cap grenades to use with a co2 shell which seem really damn cool and a lot safer. -

100% this. The tag rounds don't seem that bad out of the tubes instead of the MGLs. I badly want to do a US grenadier loadout having seen this picture. That's a case of "this is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine" lol. I'm that same with my guns. The one time I was hit by a shotgun, it was a TM Beecher, HPA tapped with M4 mag at 10m. Perfect triangle straight to the forehead. -

I'd love one at some point but they're not cheap. My next purchase is a TAC-41 so maybe next year lol. I'm happy to hear that the gen 2 fixes the problems. In the mean time I should really finish this thing I came up with after the initial disappoint of the gen 1 received_138942641487103.webp -
Guns You Know Are Bad but You Love Them Anyway
PopRocket123 replied to PopRocket123's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I'm with you on the VHS-2. I've wanted one for a while and that video reminded me of how cool it looks. You're right, M4s are the worst to work on. I've kept mine as simple as possible. No fake bolt, no writing bolt release, no ambi selector. I've come close to cutting off the ring on the gearbox for the mag release and working out a printed solution. So to take the gearbox out I only have to take off the upper, buffer tube and grip. The G&P also fixes some issues like the wobbly outer barrel, sorting gearbox alignment and retained receiver pins. -
Kind of the opposite of of a recent thread, what's a gun that you absolutely love even though you know it's bad. Maybe you live the look but the performance is terrible, it's impractical for airsoft out maybe deep down you just know that it's not worth the money you've spent in it. I'll start. LMGs. They're big, they're heavy and they're generally pretty poorly designed. You spend £400-500 on the gun plus a box mag, plus upgrades and it won't perform any better than an ARP with a drum mag. But God DAMN does it feel good to be the guy with the big gun, at least until lunch time. MP7s. On paper they're the perfect airsoft gun. They have just the right barrel length, just the right amount of modularity and they look so cool. But airsoft companies just can't seem to get them right. The full sized ones generally perform ok at best and while the TM is pretty good they all seem to suffer with durability issues. Not that any of this is going to stop me from getting one, I just need to work out which one is with the investment. Finally DMRs. You spend all this extra money for maybe 10-20 extra metres and in return you get limited by your rof and med. Won't stop me spending way too much on my SCAR though.

Can't comment on the prices although they seem high to me. The whole ad is just a mess though. Probably the worst pictures I've seen on the classifieds, smeary, no close ups so you can't see what he's selling, the pictures are basically the same photo. Then there's the description. Vague and lacking details that would really want to know when buying second hand gbbrs. -
Had a bit of a relapse last couple of days. I've eaten like crap and haven't gotten out enough, haven't drunk enough water and had about 6 hours sleep in the last two days. Needless to say it's taken a physical and mental toll which can end up becoming a cycle as I end up beating myself up over it. I'll try to do better tomorrow.

I think now matter what we say you should go for it. There aren't enough completely custom guns like this around so don't let strangers on the internet discourage you. Go for it, if it works, great, if it doesn't, learn from it. I want to try doing my own custom pistol like this, just need to find the right internals for it.
