Mack reacted to two_zero in Interesting BB development
fair point.. but is .66g a common bb weight?

Mack reacted to Airsoft-Ed in is this me being a perfectionist?
I often rest the very bottom of my stock very near the top of my shoulder, it's a pain to shoulder the full stock on my full shoulder with an Osprey on, and when no one else is going to the effort of doing it properly either, it just seems like a disadvantage. Brings the sights to your head, instead of head to the sights, easier, faster, more comfortable; the only reason people don't do that with real steel is precisely because of the recoil, if real guns didn't recoil, then all these "shooting stances" would be totally different.
I've never seen anyone hold anything like a bazooka though, not ever. When I show my guns to family members they tend to tuck the stock under their arm pit and then try to become on-the-spot contortionists to get down the sights, or they'll do this really weird thing where they lean back a stupid amount and hold the gun out in front of them, as if the sights only work from 3ft away lol.
The guns have no recoil and we're playing a game though... Who cares? Unless it's dark looking down the side of the gun is often just as easy as sighting in, sometimes easier because you can see the immediate effects of the hop better.
I'd expect everyone to act accordingly at a milsim even though, it wouldn't be much of a military simulation if no one was doing anything the correct, real life way.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.
That looks so much better than I thought it was going to.

Mack reacted to AirsoftTed in is this me being a perfectionist?
Skeletal support is a legit thing, the idea being that you support the weight of the rifle with your skeleton opposed to muscles which take the gun off target as you fatigue. I've used it with my m14 when taking standing long shots, but I don't see it having an real use in airsoft, guns are usually not too heavy and the ranges we typically work with don't involve a long time aiming.
I think it comes down to people not knowing how to hold guns properly though.When teaching my girlfriend and sister to shoot I've seen them shoot in some hilarious stances!

I remember that i is a valid way to hold a long gun in CQB situations if you have to go there with it. I can't remember if it was the AK or the M16 (with full stock), but I definitely saw it taught like that to real soldiers. Searching for photos...

Same here. I think this is a myth.

Mack reacted to Dan_W in Camouflage Cream
We spend thousands dressing up like soldiers and the minute we put some camo cream on our face we look like pretentious twats?
A big 'Well Done' to those that think that.

Mack got a reaction from clumpyedge in Did I do the right thing?
Personally I would have taken it. The whole reason I got into airsoft rather than paintball is the realisim. Realistic weapons, realistic scenarios, the gear and tactics we try to emulate. In real life guns don't run on batteries or vent gas when it's cold
I know other people play for different reasons so really both sides have a point.

I equally don't like the bang rule leads to arguments and is often used in stupid situations
You were under no obligation to take the hit and so under the rules you were well within your right to do what you did, but it wasn't the sporting option and this sport is entirely based on good sportsmanship

Mack reacted to Russe11 in Did I do the right thing?
There is nothing wrong with the way you did things. I however would have taken the hit as a sniper rifle would have killed you IRL.

Jesus Christ, are you going to crayon over the entire forum?
Do you see me or anyone else posting pictures of their weekly shop? No. Because it's not relevant, neither is a neon genesis action figure.

You will be faster on rough terrain in a decent pair of boots. In trainers you'll be falling and sliding all over the place.

Mack got a reaction from Happy in FPS up/down grade for site switchability
you can open an ICS M4 and change the upper in less than 20 seconds. If thats not quick I dont know what is

Mack reacted to Lozart in FPS up/down grade for site switchability
This. If your gun is working properly, the difference in performance between 330 and 350 should be negligible.
