Skara

'twas an odd day. It's definitely becoming way too hot to play. Wearing synthetic shit didn't help either. The new chest rig worked really well, I like how light it is even when loaded. We are now at 36 members with an active count of 15+ each Sunday, most are new kids, teamwork is growing but we are still not ready for tournaments, only a handful of people (including me) have experience with those. Which sucks dicks because we have one tournament scheduled on the 11th of July. So back to yesterday, there is this guy who always shows up late, thinks he has the right to do whatever the fuck he wants just because he paid, which is definitely not the case here, so after him being annoying all day I took him to the side and gave him one last chance at behaving before handing back his money and kick him out of the club. I mean, we meet at 8 AM on the field for a reason, especially during the warmer months, it gets unplayable after 10:30 AM so we try to play as much as possible before, you can't show up at 9 and then complain that we don't wait for you, or that we go home by 11:30.. There's plenty of other clubs that have a different view on Airsoft, go join those instead.

Honestly you should have waited for the edge 2.0 series. With that being said, I have the Core version and it's great for the price, albeit in mine there is fuck all left from Specna internally (just the gearbox shell, bushings and tappet plate).

Bit late to the party, fully aware of the uselessness of this thread. The AAP out of the box is one of the better handguns available if TM is too expensive, I personally wouldn't touch anything that boasts being metal on the box, most of the times the "realistic" lump of metal is what makes the gun run like shit on anything that's not HPA at 500 psi or 4.0 gas. With that being said, the AAP can easily turn from cheap and cheerful handgun to a proper bottomless money pit, just like Hi Capas. I'd stand clear of 1911s, single stack magazines aren't known for having great efficiency.

Hehe, I do it too sometimes. Anyway, I'm still looking for a type B mamba upper (I don't like the snakeskin like pattern on the side), but all I can find is -stupidly overpriced- type As. I feel like AA rushed to release stuff and now don't know what to do. I mean it's been a good while since they first announced the m-lok upper/handguard/thingamabob or whatever the fuck that is. In the meantime they announced and released more cosmetic stuff like triggers and extended magazine release buttons. What I'd like to see is a monolithic polymer upper receiver with a long top rail that sits flush with the stock, a bottom rail for a grip/torch and a metal thread insert, that can still be used with the stock 129mm barrel. Kinda like a black mamba, but with more thought put into it (the misaligned rails when the stock is installed trigger my OCD).

Lonex Flash Mags for me too, go for metal ones, they are a hair heavier but they are compatible with a wider range of guns (the fancy polymer ones don't fit Ares polymer receivers and need sanding). Just be aware that the newer ones seem to have QC issues regarding the small anti reversal spring that keeps the mechanism from unwinding! Especially on the polymers, at least one dies every Sunday (touch wood, mine are now 6 years old and they are still going strong, despite the abuse). Check the anti reversal spring, it might have snapped.

The fuck is this arrow tho?

You know you can gently file them down to the correct length, right? 🤣 But yeah, let him know about your issue.

I ordered two things from them (a shooter belt and then a 1" inner belt about 7/8 months later), both items got posted within 4 days of ordering 😕 Also, weren't they moving to a new facility a few months ago?

Which makes it sort of fun to find the best price (lowest doesn't necessarily mean best, sometimes it's worth spending a few more coins and get an useable warranty in return, for example)

You could have spent half that money for the same thing. That's what @Speedbird_666 meant. Nuprol just imports and rebrands stuff, apparently with a hefty mark-up too! (not uncommon tbf)

Thanks @Lozart, very helpful images! I'll dick around with it a little bit tomorrow (national holiday), but I think I'll keep it without inserts for now and remove the bungees. You could use the MP2 inserts, but you'll need to make a (4 actually) small spacer that pushes the insert against the bungee loops, which will also raise the mags a little bit.

Depending on your grip, you may want to move it on the top rail and subsequently move the front sight back a little bit. if you c-clamp like a boss you can activate the switch with your thumb, at least that's what I would do.

He rented for just a week, it'll be over soon(tm)

Manboobs for days Quick adjustment this morning, ideally it would sit an inch higher. Also for some reason I don't appear as fat as I really am

So, first impression: It's lightweight, worryingly lightweight! I think it weighs half as much as the TMR unloaded Judging by the pictures I found, I was concerned about it being tall (more than 3 molle rows) but in reality it's about as high as a standard GI magazine, which is fantastic as I can wear it high and tight (so it doesn't interfere with my belt). Magazine pouches: The 4 rifle pouches are tailored for GI mags, my Lonex Flash Mags fit snugly and I don't think I'll need the bungees nor kydex inserts. The pistol pouches hold Glock mags just fine but they are too narrow for mk23 mags. They do fit perfectly into the two side mag/torch pouches though. Can't wait to try it out next Sunday!

Attended a funeral this morning, but when I came back to the office I found this Best thing is, my colleague didn't have to pay anything for collection, so nobody looked at the declared value

Yesterday's game was an absolute blast! Decided to run just the pdw + drum mag and a small backpack, no belt, no chest rig, no sidearm, which turned out to be perfect for the 20°+ temperature we faced. We went for a "training day" with shorter games (10 minutes tops) since we have a tournament scheduled on the 11th of July. We also have a lot of new members who are willing to participate but have no experience, so we took the opportunity to teach them a thing or two. Overall a really good day, good hit taking and a couple of mega facepalm moments. One in particular in the last game: Picture me and three others moving through dense bushes in a sort of diamond formation with me at the back being the squad leader. We somehow missed the last defender who was lying prone inside a bush and he ended up right in the centre of the group. He takes me out with a burst to the legs, my teammates instead of magdumping said bush started returning fire in all sorts of directions except where the shots came from turns out the defender almost wiped out the entire squad if it wasn't for one guy with just a bit of common sense who opened fire in the right direction Technical side: the new Perun V2 Hybrid ran spotless, I just need to source another pdw stock (will most likely order directly from King Arms) because the stubby fixed is a little bit too short and the standard buffer tube + crane I don't like the looks of. Next Sunday, sniping time.

using wider bbs isn't anything revolutionary. 20+ years ago Marushin and a few other manufacturers made stuff in 8mm, they've been around for a while and judging by how many bb manufacturers make 8mm bbs, you can guess how well it went

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay?

Oh don't worry, I don't think I'll be getting it anytime soon. Parcel has been bounced between two NY offices 6 times by now, and just found out that after boarding the plane (which it did yesterday at lunch) the tracking becomes useless.. So I might get it in a week, a month, or never.

He did use this tactic when he released his hi capa and mk23. The initial "full" price on the website was €175 or something but already on "discount" at 135... Then, when nobody was looking, changed the full prices to 135. I think I still have a screenshot somewhere.

Yep. But as I said, all I wanted for that gun was performance Now, Retro Arms made a similar hop chamber (with basically the same arm and tensioner design) at a lower price point, I think it was around €40. But I had bad experiences with the older RA model (the silver + red ring one) so I kinda have mixed feelings about their chambers now.

Considering that he is offering a discount even on his latest release (SSG10-A3), I don't think things are going too well for him

Depends if it's annoying because it makes the forum run like crap, or annoying because of whose face is in the ad

Btw, the forum is super fucking slow to browse now on mobile.
