    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..

    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.

    + shipping to Italy and 10 days delivery hoping the package doesn't get lost. Also they are out of stock was looking for a more homemade solution, I guess for now neoprene will have to do.
  4. Skara
    Anyone using any dampening material on piston/cylinder head? Would neoprene be a valid alternative to the extremely expensive sorbothane? Need to reduce the noise AND reduce the cylinder volume (mainly to reduce the noise).

    Good day of airsoft, although I'm not really happy with a plastic holster on my hip.

    Need to craft an armpit holster or move my dtd on a chest rig somehow.

      Left shoulder is pretty handy if you can fit it there

      I'm gonna try to place the holster at my 4/5 o'clock on the belt for now and see what happens, should be out of the way if I need to rest on one side to take a shot, meanwhile I'll be looking for an alternative, more definitive solution

    Picture of the assembled thing? Just so we can see what kind of weight it had to bear.

    Took midcaps out for a spin, holy cow they're fun to use :) almost forgot what "fun" means in airsoft :)

     

    Also took the ssx out and it performed nicely, somewhat quiet even without the suppressor 😕

    Did have one double feed, but that's because I cocked the gun and de-cocked it again to holster it.
    range is stupid Btw, outranged everything. By a far margin. With stupid good accuracy.

      Midcaps is bestest caps. Only guns that should have clockwork in the magazine are support guns.

      ARP was made for the drum mag AND visa versa ! 👍

    Sometimes I hop onto the old italian forum to see if anyone's still posting.

     

    Every time I get surprised by the human stupidity.

      Not a lot of activity on them , and what there is comes from the shallow end of the gene pool ?

      What forum is that? 

    3. Skara

      Only a handful of users left and they are definitely not smart ones.

       

      Mods think they have the supreme knowledge of airsoft and they shit quite hard on new users who try to gather information on the game.

       

      Forum layout doesn't help either as it's really chaotic

       

      Btw it's SAM (soft air mania).

    Airsoftfacepro, you should find him on facebook

    speedsoft doesn't exist here, we're all a bunch of super tacticool, SF wannabes. Running around in lycra will surely piss a lot of people off p.s. agree, i'd rather be in jeans, but the meme potential is sooooooo tempting
  12. Skara
    Same, I'd like a speedsoft loadout for the memes
  13. Skara
    Nice! I have a Ticket To The Moon hammock that I use for my bushcraft adventures I just need a nice DD 3x3 tarp to complement it Meanwhile I just picked up a Tasmanian Tiger laser cut belt in Coyote Brown for my new sniper loadout https://www.tasmaniantiger.info/en/product/tt-hyp-belt-30mm/

    Just placed an order for the SSX 23, extra mag, DTD holster and paddle mount. Should be here by Monday/Tuesday now I just need a suppressor

    So, my birthday is coming on Monday and I'm thinking about a new purchase.

    So far the choices are:

    -Mancraft kit for the striker

    -HPA kit for my main m4 (Ares am 009)

     

    I was also considering a sidearm.

     

    Any suggestions?

      Why go with a sidearm when you can go for a primary side arm? KSC Auto 9.

    He's getting extremely lucky though, all the orders my friends made from San Marino always turned out to be turds 🤣 Also feels good to see something different than the usual AR

    > southern Europe is under a pretty harsh heatwave with super high temperatures coupled with shrek's swamp levels of humidity

    > there is a tournament on Sunday, in one of the hottest places in my region, fully exposed to the sun from every angle and terrain is quite rough since we're playing on top of a mountain that has no trees, only shrubs.

    > organization has changed the position of a couple of objectives "because they were too close to each other", effectively chancing the whole tournament.

    > 25kms under the sun and 7 objectives, to be completed within 8 hours

    > of course there are no water fountains or streams or anything to collect water from.

     

    What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people?

      I'm predicting a Laurence of Arabia loadout on the horizon 🖖

      That is fecking ridiculous ! There’s no way on the face of this earth your NOT going to have some serious if not life threatening de-hydration situations there ! Who ever is organising it AND still allowing it to go on should be kicked off this one and permanently banned from ever organising another event of any kind .

      Period .

      It's gonna be fun.

       

      Last tournament the organizing team removed a couple of objectives because they weren't the safest thing considering the weather.

       

      If they're smart, they'll go back to the original plot and maybe bring some extra water bottles for the participants.

      If not, we'll take out sweet revenge when it'll be our turn to organize 😈

    Sniping time tomorrow :D

    Also raging time as our field sucks for sniping.

      Good luck with the weather like this. I’ve had to abort this weekend due to wind speeds.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Wind isn't an issue apart from a couple of spots that are really exposed.

       

      Had a nice warm day (Actually a tad too warm for my taste) and once again I reminded myself why nobody runs a sniper rifle on our field xD too much vegetation, longest engagement I had was 20 metres, luckily I had my arp with me.

  19. Skara
    Very intriguing, I expect a detailed review soon!!
  20. Skara
    The "deal" is that a dude once posted a thread named "the £700 SWAT loadout" and got roasted to the next level. I guess someone still has PTSD from it 😂
  21. Skara
    I thought I was done buying pouches. Right: Templars Gear small cargo in genuine multicam to keep my phone, car keys and cigarettes Left: Emerson electronics pouch still in genuine Gucci cam, just because I liked the design.

    2.56 AM.

    4 hours of sleep.

    4 hours drive to do and 8 hours of tournament.

     

    Kill me please.

  23. Skara
    Alright, cheers. Unfortunately I can't use that gun on tomorrow's tournament, no biggie though as my main is still below the limit, I'll be taking that instead edit: I didn't think it would give me THAT much of a boost, I thought it would give me 3/4 m/s tops.
  24. Skara
    Is it possible that a simple hop bucking swap gave me a 12 m/s boost? Went from the standard Ares clear green one to a Prometheus purple and my gun went from 90 m/s to 102..
  25. Skara

    Packing my gear for tomorrow's long range tournament.

    Roughly a 25km hike through various objectives, including recon, assassinations and stealthy stuff to do.

    Now, what rig do I pack? 😕

      It is gonna be fun.

      Weather forecast says it's already heavily raining up there, and it's gonna rain all day tomorrow xD

      I wonder if I should prepare my scuba gear as well..

       

      I just don't know what chest rig to take with me, considering I will bring my 2300bb drum + one spare lonex flash mag (which will stay empty in my pack), a multitool, compass, short 10cm ruler, pens, pencils, some gardening shears aaand a lot of butt paper..

       

      So it's either my Mini Mav or my TMR

      Alright.

      I'm soaking wet. Even after a spare change of clothes.

      Hasn't stopped raining once, the trail was difficult to begin with, the rain just turned it into a mud and slippery rocks madness.

      I had to give up at three quarters of the event because I was getting terrible leg cramps, the rest of my team carried on for the last 2 objectives.

      But it was damn fun, this kind of events allows for objective recon rather than doing stuff basically blind. We spent about an hour observing and sneaking up on one of the objectives, and when the HQ gave us a green light we "closed" it in less than 3 minutes, eliminating the whole defense in a matter of seconds and completing all the tasks.

       

      Results aren't out yet but I'm pretty confident we got another first place.

       

      Gear wise, the kit I chose turned out to be way too heavy for the terrain, especially my gun, which turned into a slab of granite with that drum.

       

      Next tournament will see a belt + pack kit with the arp9, hopefully the weather won't be as shit as it was today, further eliminating the bulk and weight of waterproofs.

       

      On top of that I probably need a new pair of boots, my current Crispi ones are getting a tad destroyed and they don't grip that much anymore, along with Gore-Tex slowly giving up on life.

      We ended up in 1st place.

      We now need another 1st to have access to the national finals.

      No stress btw 😂
