Never would have guessed The thing with STALKER is that very little of the gear they use is blatently "soviet". There's no Gorkas that's for sure. Have a look through the Stalker Wiki http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_armors and the Stalker.pl facebook page https://www.facebook.com/StalkerPL?ref=ts&fref=ts for pointers. If you're going for the cheap/easy route then an M65 (in tan if you can find one) and a pair of blue tracksuit bottoms would be the quickest way to get there (although the Bandit jacket in game is supposed to be leather but similar in style to the M65). Not to say you can't have fun with it and do a "post apocalyptic Russian" loadout, just that STALKER has a very specific look.

Yes the weapon is authentic but it's all about the outfit.

Bro, do you even cheeki breeki? Find the stalker.pl page on Facebook. It's all in polish but there's some fantastic stalker loadout pics!

No problem. If you can, try and get silicone insulated wire as it's a bit more flexible. Also the gauge of the wire is more important than what it's plated with. 16awg should be fine though.

Why do you want silver plated? I know all the marketing BS about silver plated wire must be good because it's more expensive but actually, it's only relevant in high frequency applications. As the frequency of the current flowing in the wire it tends to flow more towards the outside of the conductor (it's called skin effect if you want to go and look it up) and in THAT case then applying a lower resistance coating to the conductor (like silver plating for exampl) allows the highest frequencies to pass at a lower impedance. AEGs run on DC. Silver plating is irrelevant.

Never go full Somali.

That's what I figured but for £20 a go I wanted to check!

Some of us consider that bad enough to not want to wear mesh though....

You will probably need to buy a new trigger switch or contact plates for it (I don't know what type of switch mechanism that gun uses). Should be quite easy to do if you can find the right parts though.

If you get no power at the green circle even when the trigger is pulled then your trigger contacts are busted.

I used my AK for a few games now and the one thing that annoys me is having to take my hand off the trigger to change from semi to auto and back. Does anyone know if the Hephaestus Tactical Fire Selector will fit a CYMA AEG (CM .045) as it is listed specifically as being for GHK and LCT guns? It seems to have the right cutout for the selector shaft so I can't see why it wouldn't fit but....I've been wrong before! www.hephaestusairsoft.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=74&product_id=74

If you want to be true to the games, you want polymer furniture anyway: http://stalker.wikia.com/wiki/Akm_74/2 http://www.taiwangun.com/en/cm-040-cm?from=listing&campaign-id=19 on promotion at Taiwangun at the minute too http://www.taiwangun.com/en/cm-040-cm?from=listing&campaign-id=19

You are absolutely right, but as someone that has had damage to the surface of my eye in the past while yes, there is no energy to speak of in the particles that do come through they are still potentially sharp and damaging if they get into the eye. Having been shot in the goggles several times yesterday (three times in one game) I for one wouldn't want that amount of grit getting into my eye (and contact lenses).

+1 on the cm045. I have one and it is bombproof. Bank on a better hop though.

He has less than I do so clearly he doesn't.

Exactly what the vid says!

Adjust it properly and it won't flap about.

You can buy a LOT of gummi bears for the cost of their shipping!

So....basically the same as a GENUINE Magpul MS3 then. Only with more bleeding fingers and frustration. SCORE!

It's like people don't actually read the post they are replying to.....

A 70 degree hop is too hard for sub 250fps guns. Probably why you haven't noticed a difference.

There is no problem in the world that can't be solved with zip ties, gaffa tape or explosives.

I remember the last time I played at the Malls a few of us rushed into a cleared a shop. I shot a guy pretty squarely in the leg but instead of calling it he backed up around a pillar. So I shot him again. He started bitching about already being dead so I said "why were you hiding then?", "Oh I was just getting out of the way" he said. "Respawn's that way" I replied, pointing out of the door.
