Here is a video of the problem. I tried to disassemble it but I can't figure it out. 
VID_20240918_185250.mp4 The problem must have been camera shy. I screwed the cap on really tight now its working haha

Anything goes...

 
 
 
I've got one of those in boring black 😄
 
 

Yeah I guess you can find any colour being used by some crazy army somewhere

So is pink.

 
You can even match the look with some on your grannies fluffy slippers.

As above.

Bro is listing the stickers on the case like he charging for them 😂

Ares Alpha is more than just a map though. It's particularly good if you have a team/group of mates or are playing a Milsim type event where many of your team or squad all have the app installed. It works as a Blue Force Tracker, can me used to issue movement commands, manages the heirarchy and even has an SOS function if you've managed to fall down a hole and you need assistance.
 
As to your question - for your average Sunday skirmish? Probably not but if you're on a new site then maybe. For a milsim/filmsim/battlesim then yes, maybe you would for all the reasons above.

I’ve made and used many maps for sites, which makes particular sense when I’ve designed and run events on sites but I have printed and even made my own maps of sites that I’ve just played at
 
I’ve been especially fond of overlaying a sites feature/zone sketch map onto aerial maps giving context.
 
I prefer event days/weekends where the entire site is in play rather than a standard day where you play a single zone at a time walking to it as a group.  But it’s still handy to have some context
 
I come from the Orkney islands famed for their Viking history and explorers.  But my family tree traces back to a shipwrecked sailor, and the only exploring genes I have come from those who have discovered new lands by getting lost.
 
I am also the man who lost his stack of poles, rope and coloured material when constructing objective flag poles.  I had placed them on a convenient ridge roughly in the centre of each of the objectives that I was building flag poles.
This meant wandering in decreasing circles to find the stash of supplies to build the next objective flag pole
 
 
 
 it is very useful to have a pocket guide to give me a clue that if I walk through a cowboy town instead of a missile base that I’m walking away from the safe zone instead of towards it

Thats cool, I just ordered an Acro for mine today
Which means I’ll be putting a BoomArms MOS plate for an SRO in the classifieds 

Going down from 36 rifles and a majority bullpup collection to these 6 was quite difficult. But I am dead happy with it and they are P. Cool. 😉

E&L AKM
LCT AMD-65 
LCT AKMSU
Silverback SRS
TM MK23
TM FN-57
 
The only thing I might consider at this point is an LCT AMD-63 and a decent MP5SD2

so I’ve now got two of these.
 
The one below with aluminium slide, steel barrel and ACRO.



I’ve built an identical one with steel slide and micro pro sight.
 
Despite its bulk, the gen5 doesn’t seem to struggle shifting the ACRO and it’s pretty easy to aim.

Noooo. Just having to take some time out due to a change in circumstances. 

Thought I'd see what all the fuss was about 😉

Red is fastest.

Does anyone really need a map on any UK sites?

To be fair, I've just realised I started a map of my local site for that very reason...my bad.

Still a working project tho as I don't play often enough to finish it.

Well, I reckon it would only take one faceplant to knacker it & even with my sluggish playing style I'd give it at least even odds.

Haha much better than a MK6 lid in the not in the slightest bit alley look. 

The app can show you the different points of interest e.g. for your objectives, show where your team mates are (if they are using the app), you can receive instructions from command etc (if that app is used at your site).
So in theory it all sounded interesting to try out.

I've been a first timer at a few sites where the briefings mention various points of interest/targets, & i didn't have a clue what they were refering to, you end up following regulars in the hope you'll get your bearings🤔

Everyone loves a Pickelhaube 

Been after a Dragunov for a wee while & saw this on the classifieds, this walls getting a bit busy, reckon it's time I found a new home for the helmets.
