  1. 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?

    1. Gepard

      Gepard

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

    2. Skara

      Skara

      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

  2. It appears I won't be playing for a while :(

    1. Skara

      Skara

      Heh. it sucks, but I guess I have some time to fix stuff and start crafting my ghillies :)

  3. That feeling when the person you asked a small technical question to is deliberately ignoring you.

    1. Skara

      Skara

      Yeah.

      I just want to know the inner diameter of a M-Lok handguard. Takes literally 30 seconds to unpack one, measure it and put it back in the box.

  4. Time to redo all the loadouts!

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      The new Autumn Crye patterns are out?

    2. Skara

      Skara

      No, I once again added too much unnecessary shit :(

  5. What if I turn a ML MR-Hop into a R-Hop?

    1. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      You have a ML MRR-Hop

    2. Lozart

      Lozart

      You'll break the very laws of physics and shoot yourself in the back of the head.

  6. 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.

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Left shoulder is pretty handy if you can fit it there

    2. Skara

      Skara

      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 

  7. Opinions on LBX?

    Quality for the price?

    Utter bollox?

    1. Ewan_Vs_Pigeon

      Ewan_Vs_Pigeon

      Ive had multiple pairs of Assaulter Trousers from them before. Peruvian I believe.

       

      Good quality - better than you'll need in airsoft.

      Stitching good, pattern correct, feel good to wear.

       

      They do come a bit small in length if its trousers you're going for.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      I was looking at their Assaulter Belt, I know the Armatus II is a great bit of kit but I can't find any info on the belt.

  8. Tfw you're getting your car serviced but it's corona time and the garage feels more like a hospital than a garage :/

    1. Jedi_Master

      Jedi_Master

      I was lucky that mine was booked in a few weeks ago, just prior to social distancing and school closures. There was lots of hand sanitiaser available to use every time you got a coffee from the machine or picked up packet of biscuits.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Was talking about the mechanics wearing surgical masks, gloves and being dressed in white painter suits rather than the usual mechanic fatigues xD

       

      The garage itself was empty so I got in and out in just 20 minutes :)

       

      Now I need to service my LPG tank, and it's gonna be a pain in the ass as the revision centre is closed...

  9. Dremel just got delivered, now SHORT STROKE ALL THE THINGS :D

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      If all you have is a hammer, every problem is a nail ;)

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Hehe :D

      I'll start with the PDW by removing one tooth from the sector, and go from there :)

       

      Plan is to shave off 1-2 teeth off all the sectors to avoid any possible PME with 30+ rps guns :D

  10. Aaaand someone just tried to lock me out of my PP account :D

     

    Do I look like a 12yo?

    1. ak2m4

      ak2m4

      Oh fuck...Do you have their 2 stage security feature enabled?

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Yep :P

      i also have just one prepaid card linked to it that is currently empty, the guy could've done fuck all anyway :D

       

      I've posted about this scam already a while ago.

      essentially what happens is that the buyer sends you a fake screenshot from PP in which a code is required to complete the payment, at the same time you get a legit PP SMS with a security code.

      If one is dumb enough to give that code to the buyer, he gets locked out of his account because said code is used to verify your identity when changing passwords :D

      Unfortunately the average Italian IQ seems to be close to absolute zero because I see at least 2/3 people each day who have been scammed like that.

  11. Got offered a job.

     

    At my parents place.

     

    Gonna check it out next week.

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Working with your family:

       

      do you bite your thumb at us sir I do bite my thumb sir ALL NE CAN CHOPPER do you bite your thumb at us sir no sir I do not bite my thumb at you sir but I bite my thumb sir do you quarrel sir

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Uh, no.

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

  12. Tfw you replace a 50° rubber with a 70 and you gain 0.2J 😕

    bollocks.

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      BuT rEdDiT sAiD...

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Eh...

      Can't use that gun anyway as the internal suppression thingamajig I made just died and I can't be bothered to rebuild it..

      AEG time tomorrow -.-

  13. mhm....

    Dboys PDW?

    yay or nay?

    1. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      Highly rated for the money from what I understand. 

       

       

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Hold on I'm gonna post a thread :)

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

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

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

    2. Skara

      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.

  15. Ruined a PTS grip yesterday.

    Applied threadlock and it INSTANTLY hardened, for some reason 😕

    1. Tactical Pith Helmet
    2. Skara

      Skara

      It was a PTS EPG-C.

      Comfy, but not the best for motor alignment.

      Threadlock was loctite green (which is strong, but I've never had it have a boner the moment I put it somewhere).

       

      Not a big deal, I meant to replace it with a bog standard A2 grip anyway because in terms of motor alignment you just can't beat those.

  16. So, had a night outdoors game yesterday, the AK performed flawlessly, the range with the MR-Hop is ludicrous on 0.28s, and it cycles smooth as silk.

    The AAP01 with the new rubber and 0.3s was used as a sniper rifle, haven't used full auto in anger yet and in the last game it removed the whole attacking team.

     

    On the other hand, a friend's Titan decided to shit the bed and randomly start firing for no fucking reason :D I mocked him all night..

    1. AlphaBear

      AlphaBear

      Is that the same friend who was having problems with his Titan previously? He did clean the optical sensors of grease and gunk and placed a new white strip on the selector plate and then recalibrated the trigger.... right?

    2. Skara

      Skara

      his brother but his gun. And yes apparently, he did clean and recalibrate everything..

  17. Anyone with experience on the plastic cobra buckle?

    1. Lozart

      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.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      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 -.-

  18. awwww shit.

    I got paid....................

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      RIP skara's credit card, your brave service will be remembered.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      yup, €150 down the drain already.

  19. New rig suggestions?

    Ideally something that complements my helikon tmr and smersh.

    No plate carriers, I don't like them.

    1. Druid799

      Druid799

      Belt order ? 
      not a secondary set up but a proper belt kit , wide padded belt , all the pouches needed and either a yoke or braces to spread the load through your shoulders as well .

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Mhm, I think it would be redundant with the smersh.

  20. Found my old ICS inner barrel.

    185mm long, not sure about the diameter but I suspect a 6.08/6.05, has a nice grey finish, made of aluminium (or aluminum?).

     

    It's just 5 centimetres longer than my ARP inner (128mm, shit finish).

     

    Shall I go for a swap?

    1. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      ICS stock barrels are actually fairly good and definitely an upgrade on the ARP. It is Aluminium but very nicely made considering. 5CM will make a fair amount difference, you might want to check your FPS on full auto as the cylinder might not be matched. 

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Swapped barrels, it falls just short of my sound hog.

      P_20191115_085106_vHDR_Auto_1.thumb.jpg.cdc38e606b8b19c2321387af58ad4f9a.jpg

      (Terribad pic, I know)

       

      If this setup ends up working well, I will get a 5.5cm barrel extension machined next week so the whole inner is covered and I can use a madbull gemtech can.

      It looks good with the trademarks and, in a minimal way, muffles the muzzle sound.

       

      Believe it or not but at range it actually worked on my old ICS.

       

      Also yeah, I'll have to check the fps and correct the cylinder volume ratio/cut down the spring.

  21. Sniping time tomorrow :D

    Also raging time as our field sucks for sniping.

    1. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      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.

  22. Rebuilding my loadouts..

    Molle is a bitch to unweave and weave again..

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

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

    2. Duff

      Duff

      I do mine on the toilet!

  23. Hosting a 12h night tournament this weekend.

    I don't know what to wear, or what gun(s) to bring.

     

     

    1. 1st commando

      1st commando

      wear the pink heels , they liked those last time :D

       

    2. strykerles
  24. And the E&L curse just hit me too.

     

    Didn't touch the rifle for a while, now it's rusted to all fuck -.-

     

    Oh well, time to make it look battle worn -.-

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Just some wd (or your preferred gun oil brand) and a rub-down with a rag.

       

      Tends to clean up nice most of the time.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Yep, I needed to take it apart anyway since the mosfet keeps shutting down due to overheating.

       

      I'll give it a good clean tomorrow

  25. Mhm...

    What do I take with me tomorrow?

    -chest rig + backpack + M4 (midcaps just in case)

    -backpack + arp

    -plate carrier + M4 (midcaps just in case)

     

    BDUs will be M81 pants and OD or black top

    1. Nick G

      Nick G

      Just take everything ! 😂

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Can't :(
