What Have You Learned About Airsoft Recently?
Skara replied to Cr0-Magnon's topic in General Discussion
It was hilarious tbf. 1st shot was an awful near miss because I had my rifle slightly canted, but he didn't seem to realize he was under fire. 2nd shot was deflected by a twig and went in his cheek. 3rd shot was square on his nose. All this from 30m tops so the BB had plenty of energy, it's not like I was a mile away. Was cocking the 4th shot but then a teammate took him out. I'm happy though, finally the vsr had the chance to show its worth (please note that I am shit at sniping so even getting one shot off is an achievement for me). -
I didn't feel like being useful today so I took the vsr, mk23 and aap smg/dmr out for a spin. Well, it turned out to be a good combination: The vsr didn't get used much due to the bushy nature of our field, I did get two long-ish kills with it (on the same person, right off the helmet because it's all I could see and a very satisfying "twack"), the third person I shot with it decided to tank both bbs (to the face, btw, from 40ish metres) and shrug them off despite bleeding a tiny bit from one of the impacts. The mk23 and AAP, though, got used way more. Sure I could have carried the pistol AAP for convenience, but the added stability provided by the stock and foregrip really helped a lot! Swapped the short dot with my T1 at the last minute before the first game, but in hindsight I should have kept the optic on there as I think it makes much more sense on a gun that is so accurate it would make the vsr redundant if it wasn't that quiet. As always, there were a few negatives: apart from the guy who didn't call his hits (he's the one who lost the national finals for us, btw, I'm used to him doing this kind of shit and the solution is generally a good burst to the face, couldn't do that today unfortunately), there have been a couple of arguments between the younger members, mostly about whose cock was the longest as it often happens between teenagers, you know, cooks and hens and farmer Joe. The main gripe of today, though, was kit (mhm, never had an issue with kit, ever, I swear): I had already tried doing this a while ago, but damn, trying to carry three guns at once sucks. Especially when one of these guns is hanging off a makeshift one point sling and keeps bouncing off and getting caught in stuff. Back to the drawing board on that one.

Today I learned that people can take two 0.3s to the face from a sniper rifle, bleed, and shrug them off like nothing happened And that trying to carry 2 guns and a pistol is a cunt. -
Completely unnecessary, but who doesn't want to deck out a hilarious gun with hilarious parts?
-
Yup. In the meantime, I ordered a TTI charging handle with external fire selector for the DMR. Unfortunately WGC doesn't have those nice CCT hammer sets
-
Happy deaded hammer to you too. Mine are still going but I'll order some spares soon (next week most likely)
-
http://perunairsoft.pl/hybridv2.pdf Given that a 2.5 is just a v2 with a boner, I say yes it'll work just fine.

Then they complain the guy at 70 metres ain't calling his hits -

if not full on teching, at least basic maintenance. I get that people might not have the time nor the interest in what's inside their gats but I legit get asked every sunday to set someone's hop.. -

Welp you're not alone. Whenever I shave people ask for my ID when buying smokes -.- I look like a 12yo without beard -.- -
TTI triggers delivered and installed. Big difference over the stock ones even if I haven't adjusted the preload yet. DMR is a little mushy but I blame it on the gun having just a couple of mags under its belt, I reckon it'll get crispier with time

I have learned that GBBs aren't that bad to work on Also that most of my guns have a "semi automatic" position on their selector switches 😕 -
If anything SLS isn't gonna crack between layers In le meantime, I've bought another Helikon 2 points sling for my 933 along with an M85 spring, because yes, short stroking by two teeth on a ported cylinder and an M90 still give me over 1J of muzzle energy -.- Also my TTI triggers arrived lil' close up of the triggers
-
I think it's up to the refs to stop people from being assholes, by making them sit one game out to straight up bans. I also understand the economic aspect of running an airsoft site and that each player brings money to pay the rent. But from what I've gathered from my years on this forum, it looks like most sites go with the easy route of limiting ammo/fire modes instead of addressing the root cause (assholes). I am sure that a site owner who applies a non bullshit policy and actually kicks/bans idiots would get way more customers at his events.
-
Unless it's a milsim, limited ammo games are the same as semi only. Maybe a bit less of a shit show, but still bad (imo)
-
Semi only sites, lol. How to turn an enjoyable hobby into a shit show just because someone got offended by a swarm of angry bbs in his butt.

Hilarious DMR for hilarious games. Far from its final form, I'm still missing a TTI trigger (red), TTI charging handle with external fire selector (red), Hadron "bouncer" short stroke kit and a CowCow G18 hammer set. And maybe a Stalker TDC because the Mamba's window is narrower than the stock one, which makes adjusting the hop a bit of a pain. As of now the only internal modification I've done is a 60° Maple Leaf Decepticon rubber and I-Key. Performance wise it's stupid, 60m range on 0.3s at just about 1J of energy, great consistency (say 5" groupings) and despite the optic being 1kg alone, it's still super lightweight. (also one of the screws on the grip is missing, it actually stripped itself to all fuck for no reason)
-
Yeah, when we realized it was nothing serious we proceeded to mock him for the rest of the day
-
Yup, although for me they are taking the skill element out of the equation. Back then, we used to overcome the opponent with skills, whether it was about camouflage, or picking the right moment to fire or going for a giga flanking manoeuvre. Now though, with all the "pay to win" plug and play r-hopped barrels, people are more inclined to sit behind the same tree for 20 minutes plinking at each other from hyperbolic distances, effectively making games more static.
-
Mhm.. mine are both gen 1s but I think I'll buy two cowcow sets soon (I'm ordering stuff for my teammate too). Also TTI's new charging handles with external selector seem to be available. This pistol is turning into a money pit though
-
The day didn't start too well, with me deciding not to carry the aap smg and a teammate tripping and bashing his side torso quite hard on an exposed root on the 2nd game. Nothing serious but he got us worried for at least 30 seconds. Games went relatively well despite the heat and humidity being annoying, didn't play a single defense which is unusual for me (I try to play at least 70/30 just to have some variety).
-
Hammer gone already? How many shots in total?
-
http://www.action-army.com/images/parts/EDM/U01024/U01-024_EDM.htm Of course they release the fucking M-Lok handguard ONE week after buying the mamba But anyway, today I took the smg to the field, although I didn't actually play with it. out of boredom I installed my visionking short dot and did a quick zero, I can safely say it's the perfect match lol. I'll run it next Sunday as a primary.

Ares Amoeba Striker AS-01/AS-02 Owners Thread
Skara replied to Solly4568's topic in Single Action Guns
It's a one piece cylinder, it's supposedly stronger than the usual brass one you find on 01s and 02s, but there have been reports of bad machining (well it's Ares after all and being a single piece I imagine it's not too easy to manufacture) with sharp edges and burrs on the inner wall. -
That mount reminds me of a fucking giraffe. But anyway, iron sights are the best thing ever for Airsoft. Can't stress that enough. Carryhandles especially as they also give something to....well....carry the gun and they look good
