  1. Anyone with experience on the plastic cobra buckle?

    1. Lozart

      I have a Helikon belt with one on and it's absolutely fine. It is more chunky than the metal ones out of necessity but it's still good.

      Cheers.

      OPS makes a belt with said plastic buckle for a tenner less than the metal d-ring one.

       

      Imma go for the plastic buckle then :)

       

      edit: of course it's out of stock -.-

  2. I caused a battery to burst into flames on purpose. Was an old battery and I shot it repeatedly with both an airsoft and a .177 air rifle while bodging a connection to a light bulb to discharge it but no, never had a Lipo catch fire or explode during normal use. Treat them well and they'll treat you well
  3. Emerson and TMC make replicas of the d3cr, along with one low quality Chinese brand I can't remember..
  4. Belt or gun first?

      Piece of string to keep your trousers up, and gun !

      ?

       

      Ordering the belt :P

  5. Just a question, why are you carrying the dump in that position?
  6. Make sure to replace the cylinder asap with a steel one, either one piece or with welded pins. Maybe a @Samurai fixed bolt handle too for faster reloads
  7. Hsgi sure grip or frv tailoring?

      You can buy direct from UR OPS

      Customs and extra fees though. But well, if the quality is there it may be worth..

       

      Colour wise?

      Pouches and holster are going to be multicam, but I'd like the belt to be of a different colour/pattern.

       

      My TMR is in A-Tacs iX, my Mini Mav is multicam and my jpc (which will go soon) is multicam too.

       

      Would ranger green be a decent looking match?

       

       

      Btw, €80 shipped.

      I've bought direct from UR Tactical and from their ebay page https://www.ebay.com/str/multicamguy2/BELTS-SUSPENDERS/_i.html?_storecat=2666446015 and it's still been cheaper and quicker than getting a belt from FRV. Never been stung for extra customs duty either and I've bought a range of stuff from pouches to plate carriers from them!

  8. Question: How much would you pay for a 2nd hand HSGI Sure Grip belt with its Cobra inner?
  9. What a sad sack of shit I am.

     

    I also need a better belt, this one keeps sliding down (that's what you get for being a poor, cheap fuck)

  10. Used TM hi capa 4.3 for €100, yay or nay?

      if it's in decent nick i'd say why not, mine's been stellar despite having basically no provenance.

    2. Skara

      I can try and lower the price to 80.

       

      Has a couple of scratches but nothing major, next week I'll check how it shoots and if the mag has any leak.

  11. Looks good, I'd keep them off if I were you, just to let the handguard shine in all its glory.
  12. 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
  13. 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.

    4. carlos469

      carlos469

      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.

  14. 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..
  15. 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.

  16. 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

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

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

  17. 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
  18. Watching a couple of walkthroughs.

    Found a 15 hours long Metro Exodus gameplay video.

     

    Fuck me.

  19. 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

      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

  20. Got offered a job.

     

    At my parents place.

     

    Gonna check it out next week.

    1. Rogerborg

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Uh, no.

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

  21. Stop buying shit! I think 75% of the posts in here are yours!
  22. 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.

  23. 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.
  24. Alright.

    Time to spend some more beer tokens on airsoft.

     

    Problem is, what do I want/need? ?
