AAAAAND I just bought the ONE remaining black mamba upper in Europe lol. It'll be here in about 48h
-
Keep the M130, the VSR platform creeps like a motherfucker and with a M150 and 0.4s you'll end up with a terribly hot gun.
-
Airsoftworld OR some HK shop. There is fuck all available in Europe for some reason. Whatever you want, the stock barrel is good out of the box, I don't see the point of swapping it.
-
Correct, the screws self thread into the upper's plastic. It's not a solution I like because the chances of wrecking the whole upper are high should you bash the optic onto something, but from what I see most people don't mind. Btw just saw your post on the FB group
-
In any case a new outer barrel is required because of the delta/gas block assembly being in the way

Reject modernity, return to xm177s

Nah, I had two Ares guns and rebuilt both gearboxes. The thing is, at some point anyone will want to up his gun's performance, but you can't really do that with Ares unless you replace the whole gearbox which kinda defies the point of buying an Ares Amoeba in the first place. YMMV of course, but this is the experience I had with my guns and a fair few other guns among teammates (tappet plates and bushings ALWAYS died within 10 skirmishes, on every single gun, at one point the local retailer stopped stocking them). Back to the OP. I say go for the Specna 2.0 of your choice, in theory they have eliminated the issues that the Edge series is known for. Or an Evo, which will run fine until it doesn't and then you're in for world of pain.

I'd go with either a MR or Super Macaron, in 70° hardness. (Super over the regular one because the patch is larger and it has those two convenient shoulders that give the rubber some extra rigidity)
-
Nothing special this time, just part of the kit I ran yesterday.
-
What BB weight are you using?
-
It sounds like it's been shimmed too tight. I'd play around with the motor height first

Having had the Ares Honey Badger for just over 4 years, I can definitely tell you to avoid it like the plague. It looks cool (not really, has fuck all to do with the real Q Honey Badger) but the internals are an absolute shit show. Proprietary gearbox and electronics, tinfoil thick shell, zero air seal and a super weak piston. Tappet plates and nozzles are the weakest I've ever seen and Aluminium bushings, lmao. Couple that with the worst hop rubber I've ever used, you basically pay a ton of money for mediocre parts at best and a very front heavy gun with limited battery space for the sake of a "PeEdEeVuUu" stock. I don't think there is a single AEG on the market that is truly plug and play, every gun needs at least the hop rubber changed to a more performing one (this depends on the energy output and bb weight used, but generally stock hop rubbers aren't that good).

Tried a mate's inserts he bought for his Esstac Boar but again, they make my pouches way too tight. Okay, I'm now looking for a new rig for my sniper kit, didn't want to make another thread so I'll just use this one. Dis one won't have to be fancy or expensive, I might cover it in spray paint, raffia, cotton or haloscreen whenever I decide to start working on my viper hood. Carrying capacity wise, it'll have to bear one/two mk23 mags, 2 to 4 glock mags and have enough "utility" space for a radio, gardening shears and other small bits and bobs like zip ties, hair bands and such. I'll be carrying a backpack with water, gas and spare eyepro. Ideally I would like to have some space to zip tie a holster for the mk23. I will be spending a considerable amount of time either sitting down or prone, so a belt of any kind is out of question.

Pyro, I guess..

Had a blast today but we all left earlier (around 11 AM) because the heat is unsustainable now. I parked my car in the shadow and the when we got back it said 35°! Way too fucking much for me. Nonetheless we managed to play a fair bit of games, we got a couple of new members and overall the day went smoothly. On the technical side, I took the 933 which performed flawlessly and the aap, unfortunately this one decided to die on its first 3 shots, the hop wasn't doing anything other than pissing bbs at 5 metres (turns out it still doesn't like MR-Hops even with a TDC installed) so I threw it in my backpack and kept playing. Shame as I would have liked to test the TDC potential. I am forcing myself to drink regularly, it's something I don't usually do but staying hydrated is key on my field, I ended up drinking 4 litres of water without even realising it until I got back to the car, luckily there's a bar/restaurant thingy on the way back. While we were at said bar we started talking about random stuff, at some point one guy approaches us asking what club we were part of, when we told him he started spouting insults for no reason (he's a member of the cheater club we used to play with a couple of years ago). Okay, I guess

Mp5k Weapon Light/Flashlight Mount Solutions
Skara replied to loctez's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Go get a Perun V3 Hybrid. Advanced Titan functionalities for the price of a basic Aster. -
Keep it a CQB-R (fuck M-Lok, Keymod or any other fancy attachment system, good old picatinny is where it's at for cool points)

Go SAS style with a humongous maglite bolted to the top. A full sized maglite, that is. -

to be fair though, modified guns with fancy electronics aren't generally difficult to use, they're just difficult to build.
you plug in the battery, pop in the magazine and pull the trigger same as anything else.
granted when it stops working then there's a problem, but it's not like current aeg's are immune from that anyway.

On one hand you finally have some real innovation entering Airsoft that these days is revolving about repackaging and selling mostly the same stuff in different wrapper... on another said innovation comes under ARES brand... it's a toss-up - either it's gonna be fucking amazing and Ares is gonna rebuild their reputation or it's gonna be made out of cheese and impossible to find parts for because it's Ares... I'm pessimist by nature so not really holding my breath but I will give credits where it's due if it exceeds the expectations.
-
I'm interested. A teammate of mine bought it, I was looking at the gen 2 something? In the meantime, ordered two AAP short stroke thingamabobs from Hadron.

I fully understand why the site owner pulled that stunt, but I don't agree with him and genuinely think it was a shit move to piss off a bunch of locals. After all locals are the major source of income for sites so they should be treated almost like kings. If we were to become greedy fucks, I think I'd quit playing Airsoft for good (I manage the finances of my club btw).

Car-15 style slim handguard yay or nay?

Seems like you've answered your own question then (unless cost ends up being prohibative). I hate the look of crane stocks and find them far too wide for my comfort, but appreciate the functional element in terms of battery storage (I prefer sleek/slim stocks, my favourite two being the B5 systems repro CAR stock and the BCM Gunfighter fwiw).
Again very much an opinion thing, but since using the Unity mount on ARs and the Zenitco B-18 on AKs I'm entirely into jacking those optics up nice and high. So much more comfortable for me, in the not too distant future I'll be looking into having a carry handle transplated onto an MWS upper to do the whole Gordy/Blood Diamond thing. Though much like you, I'm definitely not using an A1/A2 grip with the BCM mod 3 being my preference.
As always, you do you. As long as it's not landing you in crippling debt you know as well as I do that the moment you're asking this sort of question around here that you're already definitely buying it irrelevent of what gets said 😅.

Saying about wanting a ‘Gordon’ inspired look to an M4 i’ve got a classic army 733 used in BHD , greenzone and possibly blood diamond on its way to me soon . Couple of yrs ago a prop house who supplied these films with most of the guns used was selling off its airsoft inventory , and a friend who does work for the guy who bought a big chunk of the stock is helping him sell them on .

Double Eagle M904g – Aka the Original Q Honey Badger
Skara replied to mightyjebus's topic in AEG/GBBR Reviews
The website you linked sends to RC models. Get one, but please buy the buffer tube version, this because the lower receiver is proprietary and I would rather have the buffer tube adapter rather than trying to print one out of thin air. Everything else is just bog standard M4/V2 stuff, so plenty of spares and upgrades available. If the Titan knock off dies, you can replace it with whatever you want. -
What @MiKsaid. I use Imgur, even on mobile to upload the picture and then copy the link/picture on AF-UK

Cellar gear, tacbelts-uk, templars I guess
