    Either I'm a pro AEG killer or my tech isn't really that good..

    3rd motor pinion gone in 3 (game) days..

     

    Can't wait to have enough money to HPA the crap out of my gun..

      So, went to the other local shop, took the gun apart..

      The bevel gear was in good shape, the pinion was crap, it completely filed itself down in 20 minutes, I got it replaced with a shs one.

      The screw that tunes the motor height has been glued in place, so I had to get a whole new grip..

      That set me back another €40..

       

      At this point I think I'll start repairing stuff by myself..

      That is how most of us roll

      Let's face it - we break the stuff ourselves, what's the worst that can happen

      Well to a degree - remember know your limits & the risk of making the problem worse plus the golden rule:

       

      If it ain't broke - don't try to fix it

       

      But wisdom is learnt by making numerous mistakes and screw ups, and most importantly learning from them....

       

      Image result for good judgement meme

       

      Just know your limits - but by all means have a go if you feel you can

      I've already worked with my old ics m4..

      With these guns I avoided doing it only because I didn't want to void the warranty, but now I guess the warranty is expired..

      Oh well, it's gonna save me some money..

    Nice article (apparently it looks cool to murder grammar now).. A bit of OT: I use the c clamp, but not put my thumb "over the top", it rests to the side, pointing forward.. I use it mainly because I feel less fatigued at the end of the day.. By holding my guns by the magwell or the bare handguard my wrist starts to ache really quickly, whereas with the c clamp I can go on for days.. Maybe it's just my guns being front heavy, especially my tournament gun.. /ot The MFT stock is awesome, really comfortable and light, it also looks cool it does have a downside for AEG users, it has no space at all for the battery..

    A really short vertical grip, maybe one of the magpul RVG replicas that you can chop in half without crying too much.. Or a magpul AFG.. Go to a shop and try a few.. If you want to c-clamp like our Lord and Savior Costa you'll need a longer rail though..

    Well put your tanks underwater when filling them, prevents overheating..

    will this be a decent optic for the price?

     

    i know it's only €25, but some reviews seem positive about it..

      Yeah will be fine!

      Unlikely, too cheap, probably a crap china knock off. Depends what you are using it for, just for the look as accessory or to spot / shoot targets. Would recommend VisionKing scopes. Have a search on forum.

    3. Skara

      Skara

      mhm, they look nice!

      VisionKing vs Element/AIM-O? talking about quality, since the prices are very similar, around €65 from eBay vs €70ish at the local shop

    Is Ebairsoft.com a good website?

    they have basically all the gear i want to buy, at ridicolous prices, with free shipping...

    the only thing i found here is dated 2015, which is a while ago..

      Checked a few things, the basically only have pantac and other expensive repros (for what they are)..

      I guess I'll stick with ebairsoft and have a look at my local shops to see what they have..

    3. Skara

      Skara

      oh rip, they don't have free shipping anymore!

       

      i noticed, i wanted to see how much was the shipping for a €25 optic, it's €15 to italy...

      for some reason i can't cancel the order (although i didn't complete it and i didn't confirm any payment through paypal), sent them an email with the order number.

      Go in to your basket and if you haven’t started any payments then delete it and that ‘should’ cancel everything.

    Just got back from a tournament..

    Not hard at all, although we failed one objective (time ran out)...

    Just another casual 1st place ;)

  8. Skara

    So, apparently those level 5 certified techneeeeechans are cold calling Italian numbers as well..

     

    Too bad they gained access to my VM and got all their crap deleted xD

  9. Skara
    They don't make an a-tacs iX one tho.. Well, time to get a RG or MC tropic one 😂
  10. Skara
    How's the clone? I kinda want one to go with my Helikon rig and I don't want to dish out €200 on the real one..
  11. Skara
    Tournament gun. It's an Ares Amoeba AM 013, the honey badger.. Internally I've changed the crappy soft metal stock bushings to steel ones, plugged a hole in the cylinder to match the barrel and changed the spring, now it runs just under 1J which is the limit for Italy. Externally: added camo tape for improved grip, added DD replica irons, added Aim-o t1 replica and a nice Decathlon watch to keep track of time. It runs on a 11.1v 25c LiPo, plus I have a 7.4v spare one. Will probably upgrade the hop to a flat nub + prommy purple just like my other gun. Shoots pretty accurate, it is a bit front heavy because the rail is a big ass monolithic chunk of metal and the rear end is mostly polymer.. Will probably switch to a lighter keymod rail, replacing the stock built-in suppressor to a thinner one that actually fits the rail.
  12. Skara
    Those pants with built-in kneepads are hot af, probably because there's so much synthetic material (around the knees and on your butt).. For summer I'm gonna run much lighter (pics tomorrow hopefully, otherwise you'll need to wait for Sunday afternoon after I get back from the tournament)
  13. Skara
    Because we need to complete stuff within a certain time limit (15 to 20 minutes usually).. If we do it faster we get some bonus points
  14. Skara
    Just grabbed a 11.1 Lipo and a watch to put on my tournament gun
  15. Skara
    Ordered an a-tacs fg "tactical" t-shirt, because f*ck playing tournaments in long sleeved BDUs. Also quite cheap at €13. Should arrive tomorrow.

    So, went to our field for a day of training, we were only 7 so we focused on things like vip escort and room clearing..

    When we got back to our cars, a group of people showed up.

    Quite usual since the hills nearby are quite nice for hunters, trekkers and families having a day in the woods, the place is only 30 kilometres from the town and on a sunny day it's ideal for those who don't like crowded beaches..

    They got closer to us, as most people do to ask questions about airsoft and stuff..

    Then a ugly af woman, who's probably been taking heroin or some other crap for most of her life asked us:

    So you like war huh?

    Our answer: no madam, the equipment and guns are only toys, we're here to have fun together and enjoy being in the woods.

    She replied: lies, you're a bunch of warmongers, you like to kill people, you're fascists! (All of that while screaming with all her energy)..

    At this point I wasn't considering her too much, but that sentence caught my attention..

    I, being as calm as a Zen master during meditation, replied to her:

    If we like war and violence and, as you stated, are warmongers, why are you the only one being aggressive and yelling and threatening us?

    She got so triggered she called the police, the police came, they had a look at our guns to see if they were within the limits (using our chrono btw) and then searched the woman and arrested her because she had drugs with her and she was living without a permit on a private land with her caravan..

     

    All of this while the rest of the group stood without saying a single word.

     

     

    Karma, you fucking hippie twat.

      Yeah it's a toy that's why you need a valid legal defense to own it.

       

      It's not a toy.

       

      To show up in my living room I'd have to open the door to you and that isn't happening.

       

      Point is she isn't a hippy. Don't be mean to hippies.

    3. Skara

      I'm in Italy, there's no defense here xD

      Yeah well you still need to not label people judged purely on their lifestyle choices, no matter what it may be. That's a dick move. 

  17. Skara
    I need to see a doctor, I haven't bought anything airsoft related recently and I don't feel the need to.... Am I going to die?
  18. Skara
    Not airsoft related, but I just bought a head tracking device for my pc
  19. Skara

    That moment when you haven't slept for 36 hours, you drive to your team's tournament, you forget your camo bdu at home and you're only left with your tac gear, a RED flannel shirt and a pair of jeans, yet people can't spot you and you wipe full 8 man teams on your own.

    Lmao.

    1. Duff

      Duff

      Red flannel and jeans is pretty much my loadout.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      But you play cqb mostly.

      I was in the woods lol.

      People literally couldn't see me 5 metres in front of them..

    3. Duff

      Duff

      True. If I were to do woodland I'd up my game to a Spider-Man onesie.

  20. Skara
    This is my "competitive" loadout. It's light, carries what I need, blends in well (too well actually) with our environment (maritime pine forests with lots of bushes), it's not too expensive.. Clothing: -A-tacs FG BDU (branded SBB but I believe it's from propper or tru-spec, I may be wrong though) -A-tacs FG boonie (still SBB) camo neck wrap (calling it A-tacs would be blasphemy) -Mechanix originals in MC -Crispi GTX boots -Helikon Cobra belt Rig: -Helikon-Tex TMR in A-tacs iX Backpack: -Decathlon Solognac 20L in their camo pattern (resembles kryptec mandrake) Eyepro: - Vega Holster ballistic glasses Comms: -Midland G7 -Midland bowman Knife (utility) - Gerber Bear Grylls Paracord Knife, I swapped the orange paracord it came with with a temporary blue string, will replace it with some proper paracord..

    Just picked up a basically brand new dpm Gore-Tex jacket from a stand in my local town's fair.
