  1. Difficult choice here.

     

    Buy the short striker from my town's shop for €250, or buy it from another "local" shop for €200 + €5 shipping?

     

    The 250 guy is a friend (also plays in my team and isn't doing too well as far as shekels go) but at the moment I don't want to spend so much on the gun alone..

    With the €200 option I may get a spare mag and a couple of upgrades for roughly the same price 😕

     

    tips?

      Be honest and tell him, at the end of the day business is business.. 

      He may be able to match the price, or help you in the future. 

      But if hes a business man he would understand!!

       

      If you buy it and he sees it in the future he will know you didnt buy from him, so better to be upfront about it now to save any awkwardness.

      Talked to him earlier as I bought a bag of bbs from him.

       

      Apparently he's forced to buy this kind of items from abroad and he has to pay a lot for them in the first place..

       

      On the other hand I don't have the resources to afford paying more.

       

      I'll tell him I found a better deal, maybe I'll embellish it (saying I found an used one + spare mag + upgrades)..

       

      This guy has a few things i'm probably going to buy anyway, I guess he won't take it personally if I don't buy the gun from him :)

  2. My 2 gats in their (almost) final form. My AM013 (black one) got a new front end, with a custom made outer barrel, a new suppressor and a new rail (10" Ares Keymod). I also got a pair of G&G flip up Irons and a Castellan red handstop. Shoots at 95 m/s with .20s, pumping out 0.92J My AM009 (tan beast :3) got a whole internals revamp, should be way more durable now 97 m/s dead on now, clocking at 0.95J 12" Keymod rail, MFT replica stock, Aim-O T1 replica and DD replica irons, same good old prommy purple flat hop with custom nub (hasn't changed much in a while) Both within my Country limit (0.99J) so i can play tournaments with both guns. Thinking of getting the black one a grey or green paintjob
  3. The one you're using at the moment wouldn't use anything more than 7.4v in a TM without redoing the internals..
  4. Completely changed the looks of my honey badger.. I wanted a lighter front end, the stock one is just a chunk of metal and is extremely heavy.. Got an Ares 10" keymod rail, a suppressor and a custom made outer barrel so that the inner barrel sits perfectly flush with the suppressor cap also got a nice 7.4v LiPo for my other gun, so now both have 7.4v AND 11.1v batteries.. (I know, completely unnecessary, I just like the option to choose the battery according to the game/event I'm going to)
  5. Yep, luckily my local shop said he has a couple coming in next week, hopefully he won't sell them at €300 and he'll have all the colours available..
  6. meh, time to take my gun back to the tech, i must have messed up something in the mechbox.

     

    gun shoots fine but there's a strange noise coming from the gears, either i shimmed them wrong or didn't properly lube them..

     

    Also going to pick a new keymod handguard and suppressor for the badger, i'm tired of slinging a bar of lead around the field

  7. On the hunt for a OD flannel shirt..

    Seems like I can't find anything that's not extremely expensive nor too bright..

     

    Any ideas where/what to look for?

      Honestly try charity shops. They're absolutely packed with them.

      Meh, none in my area..

       

      Went to H&M and found one, a bit darker than OD but I'm pretty sure it'll get better once I dye it with some proper OD or light brown

  8. Some internals.. New piston, piston head, 8mm steel bushings, a new spur gear, a new spring (m95) and a new cylinder..
  9. http://www.emersongear.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=67_129&product_id=254 Just bought this from my local shop.. Now apart from a new set of camo I should be set for airsoft for a long time until I get some more money of course
  10. Quick "tournament" kit update (used it at the national finals this weekend).. Still my Helikon TMR Still my emerson belt I just swapped the crappy af emerson plastic mag pouch for a really nice WAS 5.56 mag pouch in proper multicam.. right side's still empty, as i'm still trying to find mags for my kwa g19.. As soon as i get a pair i'll look for a decent holster and replace the single OD pistol mag pouch with a condor double pistol mag pouch in MC.. and add a knife (a real one) to the belt, because i can't stand being in the woods without a knife. i just need to attach it to the belt somehow..
  11. IP 63 would look dope on the val.. PK-AS as well but being an offset sight it'd be weird af to use in airsoft.. Or in all honesty go for Cyka iron sights and rape all the blyats like a true Boris! Honestly, you don't need FPS, you need consistency, and I'm pretty sure G&Gs have plenty of it..
  12. No safezones here I just need some serious firepower to mow my lawn
  13. National airsoft tournament finals this weekend...

    Pretty stoked to have made it this far!

    Even if we utterly f*ck up we're still in the top 15 :)

      Ah yeah I remember seeing your post about that, will drop you a PM

      Good luck mate!

       

      How do you start to get into tournaments and stuff? I'm a long way off that level but always cool to know :D

      Well.. Not what we expected..

      We got 5800 points over 13 objectives (3 of which were a bonus)..

      The 1st team got 6200..

       

      B7t we also got a 1500 points penalty for some silly refs calling players out for no reason..

       

      So we ended up 9th instead of 4th..

  14. Picked up 2 more lonex flash mags (total count now is 5), a WAS mag pouch in mc and a 20cm black suppressor, just because my gun isn't long enough
  15. Ghetto acog completed!

     

    The mount is a tad too long for the optic, as you can see the front spacer is offset..

    Also I couldn't mount the dot on the rear rail , but it doesn't bother me..

  16. A railed optic mount and a cheap ass replica of the sightmark micro dot. Everything should be delivered within wednesday so I can finally build my ghetto acog monstrosity 😂
  17. Aight what brand is it (if it even has one) and how much did you dish out for it?
  18. Nice looking vector you have there! Quick question, what's that rmr? Is it the real deal or a repro?
  19. I do the same every time I order some cool stuff
  20. Matching camo does indeed look nicer, but that doesn't mean it's more effective! We started to run mixed camo as well for tournaments, from full a-tacs fg to green (od or rg) bottoms and a-tacs fg top, works wonders in summer when there's a lot of vegetation..
  21. I'd swap the top with a mc tropic one just to make the PC stand out more. But that's me, I'm quite sure there's a good reason for you to have mixed top/bottoms!
  22. Played a tournament today, as a defender on one of the objectives. This is what I ran, I also had a backpack full of water, food, bbs and spare parts but since we were static i left it hanging on a tree camo (not pictured, already in the washing machine because it's dirty and drenched in sweat): m81 combat pants and ubacs, multicam ball cap. Good old Tactical Tailor Mini Mav, still the best choice when it comes to summer games. also my brand new emerson belt, which proved to be great, stiff enough to hold all my crap (multitool, m4 mag, bag of bbs, smokes and batteries) yet lightweight and low profile.. pouches are (left to right): -condor single pistol mag in OD -emerson fast/taco plastic m4 pouch in a-tacs fg -invader gear radio pouch in multicam -invader gear rolly polly in multicam -templars gear large utility pouch still in multiglam (I liked the small one on the mav so much I had to get another one, but bigger ) i'd like to change a few things though: replace the OD pistol mag pouch with a MC one, replace the crappy emerson fast mag/taco wannabe with a proper high quality taco style mag pouch (either templars gear or was) and move everything 1 slot to the left, maybe keeping the utility where it is now because it's really comfortable to reach in that position! the right side is still "naked" because I'm still looking for something that's actually useful, or leaving it as it is to allow a decent draw on a pistol (if I ever find spare mags for it and a decent polymer holster)
  23. Rebuilding my loadouts..

    Molle is a bitch to unweave and weave again..

      yep, but that's the price to pay for it being solid and secure.

      I do mine on the toilet!

  24. Emerson multicam molle belt Templars gear large utility in mc Multicam dump and radio pouches from invader gear A cheap fox multitool.. Pics of the assembled belt later this week
  25. I noticed the same about my Vega shooting glasses as well.. Clear lens: fogs up eventually Grey or yellow: hardly fog up.. I knew I should have played with grey lenses yesterday 👿
