THE CHIEF

I wonder if it's just this model recieving an aluminium version? An aluminium Vietnam model would be interesting. Price wise it makes no real difference. Once your in for a grand you may as well pay for steel

Occasionally, I just remember seeing you and thinking that's a tough gig. Fair play for getting stuck in! Didn't get to chat with you as I was on the opposite team. Maybe next time.

Do you play at the new dragons lair? Personal cringe inducer "what map are we playing?" The UK generally around here...

A stock MK23 and socom supressor yes. If you start adding 3d printed stuff and fart flaps the MK23 is probably a touch quieter. But as I say I use the longer supressor on mine. It's quite nifty with proper baffles and cones inside. But we tested it at the receiving end and you couldn't tell someone was shooting at you.

The ICS PM2 makarov is as quiet as the MK23. The only downside is that it doesn't have the after market support. The MK23 can be made to out perform everything. The PM2 scores very much on style and is a lot smaller. It takes a CO2 bulb but will chrono no problem. It has a very heavy trigger if you want to rapid fire it so it's better to cock the hammer with your thumb. If it had the same after market support as the MK23 it would probably be the go-to sniper backup but that doesn't look like it's going to happen. Still if you want something smaller than the MK23 and just as quiet, but don't need it to perform circumcisions at 70 meters it's an option. I like mine. I did buy the larger suppressor for it. And the magazines are little sticks that are very easy to store.

The octagon link previously stated a hicap, this looks like a midcap. Is there a choice of magazines available?

The baby shit paint job is actually well done. Looks historically authentic. If I had the money I would buy that.

Is there a price point for the M60? And will a range of spares parts be available?

Edit: read it properly

The flip side of this... Several times I have had a teammate on a barricade or something in a much better position to throw a smoke grenade than me. I have called "oi mate", clearly showed him the smoke grenade and gently thrown it underarm so they can pop the smoke. Free pyro! Great right? Smoke out and we all advance across the bridge or open area. No... They promptly run away and get shot thinking I had somehow got behind them covered them for fun and decided to taunt them with the means in which I would end them.

I cleared a pillbox once by shouting grenade and lobbing a Mr Kipling apple pie through the front. This was a regular skirmish. No one was declared dead (and I wouldn't expect them to be) but they did run out the back doorway like their arse was on fire. All fair and above board. But grabbing someone else's pyro is not on really. Diversion or distraction is fair enough if using your own gear and initiative.

Anyone got an idea on price yet? I'm hoping they haven't gone up dramatically but...

Well if they are I will take a GBB upgrade to the MAC10, same as the mp7 please...

Oh I agree it's a bit of a crap design, I didn't push my luck and buy the MK3. But I would certainly like a true modern spec version not just a rehash or a bad design.

My WE hi-power is supposed to be awful according to everyone. It has the smoothest slide to frame interface of any pistol I have used. Never missed a beat. I am obviously lucky and get whatever the opposite of a Friday afternoon special is... Monday miracle?
