  1. 1x AW 50 round glock mag for the AAP 1x ML AEG MR-Hop 60° (hopefully Emperion will send me another nice patch) 1x Perun V2 1x MAXX super duper fancy adjustable trigger
  2. Can't see it either. The description says compatible with TM and WE, but I wouldn't trust website descriptions tbf. EDIT: quick look at the item code (AW-VXMG04) showed this https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/m317/Armorer-Works/p44319/Armorer-works-VX-series-GBB-50-rounds-gas-magazine/product_info.html Looks like a regular WE router, but in red.
  3. https://emperionstore.com/vx-50rd-gas-magazine-armorer-works.html These mags. Not €36 but 40. Still cheaper than WEs.. Are they MOS crap?
  4. If standard WE mags fit, extended WE mags will fit as well. Actually, on magazines, are the AW mags the same as WE? Because I've found some extended AWs for cheaper than WEs (€36 vs 50 a piece)
  5. We can't play because of restrictions, but we can go on the field and maintain it, so that's what we did. We restored one old trail to an area of the field we haven't really used in a long time. We're going to do maintenance until we are allowed to play again. Next week i will bring the ghillies with me, so I can start crafting them.
  6. So I was working yesterday, surveying a building.

    This little guy showed up, my instrument has a built in laser pointer. (visible in the picture, right next to Mr. Cat)

    Could've been a 1h job, it ended up being 2 hours :D

      I think Skara just wanted to show off his tool! Lol

      🤭🙂

      But that place needs some work done I think.

      P.s nice nice bit of kit though.👍

      Regards 

  7. It's called momentum and it's mostly why engineers (and to a limited extent us surveyors) hate architects with a passion
  8. I need to get my hands on one.
  9. Hey Look, we can't play anymore in Italy :D

    But we can riot and break into shops without the slightest hint of punishment :D

      So.

      Took the time to read the new law. It only mentions contact sports, since airsoft is definitely NOT a contact sport, I can play whenever the fuck I want.

       

      (bbs aren't a means of contact between players btw)

      It's a rollercoaster lol.

      Club's president decided to not play until a new decree comes out.

      Considering we've had 3 different decrees in 15 days, there's a high chance of us being able to play next week, or diving straight into another full scale lockdown :D

      God I love this country :D

       

  10. Could be. Maybe it's just me being fed up with proprietary stuff. And wanting a less common base to build a wanker gun onto The more I look at it, the more I want it.
  11. I really like it. So shiny Please kill me now.
  12. I did play this Sunday, was muddy but it wasn't raining. Had some serious fun, although my gun wasn't behaving properly as shots were going everywhere but where I aimed (I later found out that the barrel had two nasty scratches on the inside for some reason). In one instance I was aiming at one player but hit the guy 2 metres to his left Overall a good day, hits were called, laughs were had.
  13. B6AC clone for €15. I could have spent more on the real deal, but not knowing how to tell it apart from clones I didn't want to risk being scammed to shit
  14. The cylinder is made of brass, which is a really soft metal to begin with. The butt plate (the shaft where the handle slides on) is simply pinned to the cylinder. With use the pins enlarge the holes in the cylinder and eventually it'll just come off. This happened to me with a SP100 spring within 100 rounds, others had theirs snap off instantly. Plus the thing is so rough to pull and push back in battery. You'll start to notice the handle wobbling a bit at first, then more wobble and finally it'll break. I recommend buying a steel cylinder (either latest gen one piece or the two piece with welded pins from Ares. Action Army also makes a really good cylinder for the striker). On mine (AS-02) I have changed the hop up arm with a 3d printed one, changed the barrel to an AA 6.03x300mm steel, changed the piston and spring guide with AirsoftPro ones, cut the SP100 down to get it below 1J (my national regulation lol), swapped hop rubber for a Maple Leaf MR-Hop 50° and changed the trigger for a @Samuraione. I also have a Samurai's straight pull handle which I put on and off depending on how I feel. Plus I've filled all the empty spaces with cotton wool/foam and machined a suppressor from the standard 14mm CCW to the 23mm CW thread of the barrel, this way I don't need an adapter to mount a suppressor on. Shoots nice and straight, reaches up to 65/70 metres on 0.3s (at 0.92 Joules)
  15. Ares has 300mm outers available for sale. I mentioned buying a 02 because along with the barrel you need to replace the sears (and piston) with 90° ones, then replace the cylinder because the stock one can't even stand 100 rounds at 1J. All these modifications end up costing you quite some money, whereas All of them (except for the cylinder) are already present in the stock 02.
  16. Because in the real world a longer barrel means more velocity, more range and more accuracy. Airsoft sniper rifles try to mimic the exterior look of said real rifles, but we have completely different mechanical principles to work with. Range and consistency are given by a good hop up and a clean, straight barrel, along with the least amount of leaks in the whole system.
  17. yeah, a €350+ cylinder kit from EdGi. A new gun is €150. Do your math. Also accuracy (if we can call it accuracy) is not related to barrel length. Actually, people have better results (so more consistency) from shorter barrels than with longer ones.
  18. Isn't it lovely when your gun shoots lasers until you hit the field, then shots go everywhere but where you aim.

     

    Nonetheless it got me a couple of otherwise impossible hits :D

      May I ask what loadout you was using today

       

      fires lasers then shoots all over the place...

       

      Hmmm Stormtrooper jokes inbound...

       

      IT's not my fault that i can't shoot straight its the blaster's fault - sad  stormtrooper | Meme Generator

      Specna M4, G&G 0.25s..

      But as mentioned before, the barrel has two nasty scratches on the inside, 2/3cms from the crown. No clue how they have been made, but I was planning on changing the barrel anyway.

      Indeed.

      I've come to the conclusion that I am cursed.

      I can't seem to have a decent performer in my arse

       

      I think some of that post got lost mate. What was the rest?

      🤔😉

  19. Unfortunately not an option, I'm keeping the AAP as a sidearm. Plus running HPA here is tricky, I don't have a compressor, scuba shops aren't keen on filling HPA and I'd like to keep my scuba cylinders for diving
  20. The key to sniping is in movement and field craft. Find a load bearing kit that works for you, don't look at YouTube because 90% of the "sniper loadout" videos are full of shit. I've tried all sorts and now I'm settling on a simple chest rig. In theory you'll be scalping people from 100 metres, in practice you end up using your secondary way more than you rifle. So you may want to invest in a mk23 (best airsoft gun, period). Stupid range, stupid quiet, you can do everything with it bar magdumping rentals (which, btw, is the whole point of airsoft). Ghillies are cool, but not necessary. Matching your camo to your environment is. You can carry some hair bands in your pocket to add natural vegetation to your rifle and kit. They weigh nothing and are cheap, plus they have a million different uses. Rubber bands to the same but are less durable. Stay light, makes it easier to move through vegetation. Never take the easy path, never move in the open. You're a hunter, not a headless chicken like Nov/Silo. That's bullshit, not sniping. Also take a look at Stip's blog
  21. Has to be pistol calibre though, I already have 2 (well one is still somewhere between Poland and Italy) tricked out M4s.
