  1. Looks good, I'd keep them off if I were you, just to let the handguard shine in all its glory.
  2. Everything I have on that belt (apart from 2 pouches) is RS btw xD Since I'm ignorant and uneducated, I just zip tied the adapter onto the belt problem solved, and when I finally find a decent real steel belt that fits my needs, I will still have an unmodded adapter to use
  3. Is it THAT hard to make milspec stuff?

    I mean, molle has some precise dimensions which can't be messed up (as in it takes some effort to), yet manufacturers keep fucking it up..

      Irony? I'm american and own a Ar15 back in the states so I definitely didnt want to cheap out on a carrier. Hence cant bring it my gun here so might as well use it for airsoft. ?‍♂️

      5.11 aren't as great as their hype would have you think.

      Each to their preferences at that. I do enjoy my carrier though, it fits me well vs the cheap ones I've used before it.

  4. Cytac molle adapter for my dtd. But guess what, it doesn't fit my Emerson belt because its molle is off spec on the sides (has small panels instead of a uninterrupted strip of nylon).. So I guess I'm going to sell the belt and look for another one -.- Or I could mod the adapter, cheaper and easier option really..
  5. Alright, let's spend money we don't have on stuff we don't need :D

      Went to the shop, wanting to buy a lot of stuff, ended up buying only a pistol taco clone..

      Holy shit, this new owner is so sad.

      Doesn't play airsoft, doesn't know what's in stock, can't tell multicam from m81.

       

      Another quality shop gone to shit I guess.

  6. 1j gun vs 0.4s, will it end well?

      Bbs are grey :P

      if I can track them and they actually perform on my gun, I may even use them in a skirmish.

      if not, I'll stick to 0.3/0.32s

       

      Also can't dodge bbs if you can't locate me :P

      if you use the range you can be shooting at folk who dont think you can hit them so they wont dodge

  7. Yes. The top should sit right in line with your nipples, so that your belly is clear of anything. Depends primarily on how comfortable you feel though. I like my rigs to sit high, others like them low and sloppy around their bellies
  8. Watching a couple of walkthroughs.

    Found a 15 hours long Metro Exodus gameplay video.

     

    Fuck me.

  9. Skara vs cheaters: early fall edition.

     

    Decided to take out my striker for a nice chilled game day, haven't really played with it and also tested a few things like camo, sniper rig and a couple other things.

     

    Anyway, last 2 games of the day, I'm on attack and locate the last defender, so I ditch the bolty and go full ham with my mk23. I manage to get to 4/5 metres from him, undetected. Pull out of cover, carefully aim and proceed to dump one bb right between his eyes (all I could see was the face) with a quick follow up shot to the lower face mask. Saw both impacts clearly.

    Guy flinches, raises his gun and fires in my direction, meanwhile I had already disappeared behind my cover.

    I jump out again and put 2 in his arm before being hit.

     

    It's alright, he got smoked 3 seconds after by a teammate who got behind him, so everything was fine.

     

    Last game, on defense, I set up a quick hide from where I can see almost all of the objective area. Then a 40ish yo lady shows up, in the open, slowly walking towards the flag, checking left and right for us. I derp the first shot on the only tiny freaking branch between me and her, but she doesn't notice as my striker appears to be almost whisper quiet. I quickly load a second round and for some reason I accidentally turned on the hop, so instead of flying towards her chest, it goes straight to her mouth (she was wearing one of those cheap OD mesh goggles + plastic mask combos).

    She flinches, takes a knee. The third bb strikes her in the boob, flinches again and runs to cover as if nothing happened.

     

    Both these people are part of a club we invited.

     

    I am still confused. I thought the point of the game was to be honest.

    1. Musica

      Musica

      I've found the closer to the end of the day the less people give a fuck about rules because less consequences I suppose and probably more frustrated from previous shots they think they were hitting people with.

    2. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      That is a fair point.  You can start the day with the best of intentions, then end it scowling and snarling at a catalogue of real or perceived foul play.

       

      Although fundamentally, if you're not there to take hits, why are you there?

    3. Skara

      Skara

      Doesn't matter too much though, I am not one who holds grudges against others.

       

      Will give those 2 guys a second chance next time we invite them :)

       

      worst case I'll be holding down the trigger for a little longer than needed. I heard bb showers encourage hit calling :P

  10. Got offered a job.

     

    At my parents place.

     

    Gonna check it out next week.

      Uh, no.

      It's in the same town, completely different job than my dad's :P

  11. Stop buying shit! I think 75% of the posts in here are yours!
  12. L-fucking-MAO.

     

    Complaining about people being mad right after popping 4 in the face at literally point blank.

      >" Completely unnecessary shots imo"

       

      Necessary in order to play the game that we're all there to play at that site.

       

      The Depot is a very-CQB site, and the engagement ranges are coming down all the time as they add more and more cover.  Jet was playing the site the way it has to be played.

       

      It's also characteristic to hear a lot of adrenaline fuelled expletives and unnecessary-but-polite apologies, but it's all forgotten about within seconds.  Everybody who plays there knows and accepts this, or they stop playing. They're always over-booked, so it's clearly not a problem.

       

      What was out of order in that video was the high BFG near the start.  He'd been told very clearly not to do that, while standing right next to the marshal giving the briefing.

      Such snowflakery, next we'll argue using bfg's indoors because it might hurt someone's ears because they chose not to wear hearing protection. How about shooting someone's eyes because they aren't wearing full seal? Go play laser tag or nerf.

  13. Apparently there are 2 versions of the AA chamber, one that only fits the AS01 (long barrel) which is the older one, and the newer one that fits the AS02 and the shorter AS01 barrels. No idea how to tell them apart though.
  14. Alright.

    Time to spend some more beer tokens on airsoft.

     

    Problem is, what do I want/need? ?

  15. Iirc the short aftermarket barrels require some filing to accept the AA hop chamber.
  16. Striker as02, stock 6.03x300 barrel, bioval .3s. I am getting a crazy jet next week.
  17. quick dumb question: why is my bolt action louder when there is a bb in the chamber? It's really quiet and muffled when dry firing, but when a bb is chambered it suddenly becomes loud AF (to me, maybe it's still quiet towards the target, haven't tested yet).
  18. Would door stops make a good dampening pad for a cylinder?

    1. #blackadder

      #blackadder

      If you’re dead set on trying hard rubber like door stop - go to screwfix and get 1/2” flat tap washers  . 

  19. Hot glueing netting.

     

     

     

    Please kill me.

      Yes, your assumption is correct.

      I could have used shoe glue, but I didn't have any around.

      I found hot glue to be quite fast too compared to my old method of attaching netting (tons and tons of zip ties).

       

      For my next project I'll make sure to have some shoe glue around, so I can experiment with that as well :)

      I love the stuff, I also use it as a crude waterproofing material for certain projects along seems that need extra strength! Dude you need amazon prime ;)

    4. Skara

      Skara

      Heh. I had a prime subscription, then cancelled it because of two reasons:

      Don't like how Amazon treats workers (especially here in Italy, there have been reports of almost slavery conditions) and I don't use it enough to justify the fee, even if it's small, I order maybe once or twice a year from there. 2019 has been an exception as some of the products I got from Amazon I couldn't find elsewhere..

  20. I wonder if GBB makers have ever thought of an expansion chamber somewhere to reduce cool down, especially on pistols..

      tbh i'm not sure it'd help all that much, at some point you're going to be relying on the liquid boiling to replenish itself, although granted i have shot one of those maruzen m11's and it was pretty impressive (at least compared to asg's more conventionally designed m11)

       

      for winter co2 is the better option, although granted co2 mags come with their own set of problems.

       

      i tend to just avoid spamming when running a pistol, that's what rifles are for, never really use more than a couple of shots per engagement, for range work you're better taking time to get a good aim anyway.

    3. Immortal

      I don't think mags get a decent seal on the gun in order to have such a chamber (thinking of how Co2 Caplets work with airgun valves - it would have to be built into the mag I suppose so a space issue... just my 50p's worth of grey matter)

  21. Yes, but be aware that the stock bushings are terrible, you may want to replace them asap just in case.. Mine were completely gone in less than 5000 bbs fired.. By the way, I just picked up a barrel extension, a rmr riser, a couple of sling mounts and a sling plate. Next week it'll be time for a new outer barrel and a bit of a lathe work on a suppressor..
  22. You're gonna have fun with it at least I have a lot of fun with mine
  23. Should've gone for the prommy. At least I've had bad experiences with G&G greens, they don't fit every hop chamber/barrel..
  24. to lower the sound signature, on mine it's a really strong twang even if I only run a guarder SP100 (gives me 0.99J with .2s to stay within the limit). Will also do the heat shrink and beer can mods to reduce the spring vibration.
