Skara

eh, they do wear out but they are a wear part by design.

must admit i need to stock up on ml stuff, omega nubs in particular seem to be running dry.

Yup, only needed one nub but added a few just in case I need to mod them.

Will test the AEG rubber on my ARP, comparing it against a bog standard prommy purple and see how it fares.

Bugs me that I basically spent €60 on a bunch of silicone tubes and tiny bits of plastic

Its an expensive hobby that's for sure.

Like when i realise my last ammo shipment cost more than some of my guns.....

Same, until this morning at 9 the tracking showed "in transit" somewhere in Bologna (makes no sense as it's even further away from me than Arezzo 😕)

Also can't figure why a random unknown italian store had these pistols in stock when half europe is still preordering them from Asia

postage logistics is truly a mystery. you could post something down the street and it'd take longer to turn up than if you'd posted it across half the planet.

Yep, bought 2 batteries from the same shop I bought the AAP from a while ago (bought them for a mate) on eBay, it took a month for them to arrive. And they forgot one -.- (they refunded it quickly tho, literally 2 minutes after contacting them)

judging by the last time you spoke about the italian postal system it'll take about 14 hours to get 199.5km and 2 weeks to make it the rest of the way.

tbf i get a similar issue with one particular shop in ireland, for some reason stuff takes exactly a month to arrive and turns up smelling of fish.

i don't want to say the irish postal system involves chucking the package on the first lorry that looks like it's going vaguely the right direction, but i'm gonna insinuate the hell out of it.

It's a private courier who's won a contract with the postal service (they're just as bad, no wonder they won lmao).

Their website is also busted, so can't really track anything

I just hope it gets here before Friday.

Hold on, smells of......fish? the fuck?

i know, but no word of a lie it smelt like it had been chucked in the back of a fish lorry.

If I had a safezone to rely onto, I'd just use my frv belt and an armpit holster for the mk23.

Unfortunately that is not an option as I have to sling all my gear and supplies with me (radio, at least one litre of water, small gas canister). I need to rework my backpack setup.

Also thinking of switching to mesh when sniping, after all I play at 1J and everyone uses 0.2s, so the energy discharged on impact is very little (especially at 30/40 metres).

Problem with mesh aint toughness for the most part.

Its when you get them cheapo bb's that shatter.

Mk23 seems a bit on the chunky side for shoulder carry no?

The thing with the mk23 is that it's huge, when I carried it as a regular pistol on my hip it got in the way every time I sat or knelt (is this correct?) down. Drawing from the hip when prone produces a lot of movement which can give your position away, which is bad when you're trying to remain unseen.

Shoulder/armpit/chest mount is the only system I can think of right now.

Regarding mesh, I know cheap bbs can shatter, the alternative to mesh would be to play without mouth protection or using something like a SISU, but the price tag scares me (in case I'm not comfortable with a gum shield)

Mamma Mia ... you should have told him to spend a grand on one if he wanted a real one... then it won't be shit...

a truly international problem, i recall a very similar event on here regarding the ssp1.....

on a serious note i wouldn't mind a nice ACOG for airsoft, although granted the ones i've looked through so far have had a very strange definition of the phrase "forgiving eyebox"

of course i'd still end up stacking a red dot on top and using it almost exclusively same as i do with the short dot.

Yep, told him that the only one worth buying was the real deal, but you know, cheapskates pretending RS quality out of €30 replicas
