  1. Although I'm not a fan of that type of knife (4" scandi ftw) it looks great!
  2. As Samurai said get an AUG.. I found they're the best in muffling the gearbox noise (the box sits between your arm and body and there's a lot of empty space between the box and the body that you can fill with foam).. As an alternative, using the mp5 body, you can HPA it and make it deadly quiet, along with a decent suppressor..
  3. Sniper rifle slings. Which ones are worth looking at? What makes a good "sniper" sling? I'm thinking about creating one myself with a crap load of paracord, using the same weaving used in bracelets. Tips? Advices? Insults? I may as well attempt something like this to use with my plate carrier/backpack
  4. I'm pretty sure most motors can stand a 7.4v LiPo. Change them only if you plan on using heavy springs + high voltage batteries, 11.1v and high discharge ratings (the "c" number)
  5. Just finished my daily dose of ebola (study), turned on the tv to watch a movie..

    There's this "Doomsday" movie going on, sounds ok to watch.

     

    20 minutes in and I already regret my life choices..

  6. Will tell you once I actually get it mine is just a feather under 1J so I expect it to reach 50m with some heavy BBs, but as I said, I need to get me dirty hands on it and have a go at my "homemade" range (roof in front of my window, 40m dead on)
  7. It doesn't look right because of the short barrel but somehow I like it, it's short enough for me to be strapped to a backpack and not get stuck in branches/bushes Still have to see someone here in Italy with that gun. Due to our 1J limit I say the best you can get is still the TM VSR.. The only gripe I have with the Ares is the lack of a follower in the magazine.. You load 20 bbs and fire only 16, cuz the last 4 won't make their way into the hop chamber.. Pretty bad design flaw imo. Will mod the mag to accept a follower when I have time.
  8. Bought but not bought. Ares AS02 in FDE. Gave the shop a deposit as my roommate hasn't paid the rent yet (as always).. Will collect it in a week or two, hopefully
  9. It's ok You can pretend it's the partizan spectre variant the difference is that Pencott has a pixelated pattern, Partizan Spectre has round shapes and resembles flecktarn nothing major though, they'll surely work out just fine on a Cyka Blyat kit on a side note, some Russian patterns look very interesting for the environment I play in, I may get a full suit of something in the near future.
  10. Chinese companies have always ripped off camouflage patterns.. MultiCam, M81, DPM, the Italian Vegetata, A-Tacs.. Some are easily told by completely wrong colour schemes and plasticky look, others are really close to the real deal..
  11. Meh, solved. There are 5 little grains keeping the outer barrel together, 2 per side and one on top. The top one was loose -.-
  12. My AM013, you can see the pics in the gun thread.
  13. How does one prevent an outer barrel from wobbling (up and down, not left or right) when everything is already tightened down? Thinking of wrapping the barrel end with a rubber washer and tape to keep it centered into the handguard. Any ideas?
  14. Russians usually copy western patterns and call it with their own names, but that doesn't look like partizan camo 😕 It does resemble the spectre variant, but it's just Pencott Greenzone
  15. Ye, if people used semi auto more I could stand having 30rd mags and refill gas every now and then.. The way airsoft is played here unfortunately doesn't allow that. Even midcaps are rare af, I'm probably the only dude in the whole town that uses them. I'm the one that tries all the quirky stuff only to realize it's not viable in pasta country, until the next quirky thing appears and empties my wallet.. Nonetheless, that TM is a cool looking gun and I expect its performance to be the usual TM bullsh*t, reaching 25kms at 0.5j
  16. Nah, it's just that everyone just goes full auto and has at least a 30bb/s RoF.. It's even worse in tournaments btw, everyone and their mother runs drum mags..
  17. That barrel tho 😍 Man, if GBBRs weren't so out of place for our "standards" I'd totally buy one!
  18. 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 :)

  19. 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
  20. The one you're using at the moment wouldn't use anything more than 7.4v in a TM without redoing the internals..
  21. 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)
  22. 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..
