Don't get me started on drop leg holsters.

Shame the PTS MAWL is still nowhere to be seen.

Have you seen the laser ratings on their GEN2 PEQ-15? 😮 High power is 25mW visible, 20mW IR!

I doubt you'll have trouble selling it, as you say people seem to want them! As for the Somogear ones - they're still Class 3R (4-5mW according to their website) so safer but not entirely "safe" as such especially taking into consideration the aforementioned issues around IR lasers.

The cheaper ones that run Class 1 lasers are pretty rubbish to be honest. The Element DBAL for example doesn't adjust or keep its zero properly and to be quite honest a lot of airsofters don't really give a shit about laser safety otherwise they wouldn't be banned from so many sites!

A couple of posts down someone mentions that the code in question references a newer model that doesn't actually have IR. Regardless, 635nm is visible red but at 10mW it's definitely too hot for airsoft.

That makes more sense! I'd like the Kythera but the PDiK is way cheaper (hence the interest). The Kythera appeals partly because of the ability to manually "cock" the weapon instead of having to dry fire. I'm looking at fitting it to a MK12 DMR running from CO2 so not having to waste a shot would be nice!

There's quite a few people in the US using them for real steel shooting! I honestly highly doubt they're actually 10mW as that would firmly put it into Class 3B (https://www.lasersafetyfacts.com/laserclasses.html) which falls into "definitely not a toy" areas. They're highly sought after by NOD users in airsoft because they're about the only ones that actually allow you to accurately zero the laser properly! As for safety, a 5mW IR laser or illuminator can cause damage to the retina if you're close enough or exposed for too long. As there is no blink reflex to IR light the risk of this goes up massively. Of course you might just be the most careful guy inn the world and never point it at someone's face but that doesn't mean someone won't look round and get it full bore in the eye.

Nice, thanks. So basically the PDiK pulls the nozzle back and allows a BB to be loaded on the trigger pull, then seats the nozzle and fires the BB on release?

There's a good review of the G&P unit on the ATRG blog https://atrg.blog/2018/10/11/accessory-review-gp-dbal-a2-ir-red-version/ He does mention that the laser is pretty powerful on full bore and that it may be an issue. In terms of power the label on the unit seems to suggest it's 5mW which would put it in Class 3R (IIIb). Now, for visible light lasers that's ok for the blink response so as long as it's an exposure of 1/4 second or less you'd be fine. For IR lasers of course it's a different matter as there is no blink response. If it is actually 10mW then I'd say it's a definite no-no for most sites.

See now, that video was the bit that threw me. It looks almost like the nozzle is back while he holds the trigger back. Compared to the Kythera that is very definitely a full cycle on the trigger break.

Been looking at these myself. They'll definitely run on CO2 but I'm still on the fence as to whether or not they're actually proper closed bolt.

Ignore the background? Fuck off, that's a brilliant album!

And? Get a decent battery, if it's not big enough for the whole day, get two. Job done. Plus he's using Titan batteries so it's even less of an issue.

If you don't want the active braking, I'd go for the Nano ASR instead.

Can you post some pictures? Might help explain.

You call that big? My noggin is a pumpkin sized 62 cm. I can say with a degree of authority that while the FMA L/XL fits it's not very roomy. All of FMAs OpsCore knock offs are based on a size down from the real ones (so the L/XL is more like a M/L). The main issue I have with the Maritime is the shape of the shell to be honest. I have the FMA FAST, Maritime and Team Wendy bump and the most comfortable BY FAR is the Team Wendy. It's a different shape, the pads are way better and the retention system is better too (so much so that I've retrofitted a TW style set of straps to my Maritime along with some TW style pads). Apparently the Airframe helmets are even bigger but I'm not a fan of the shape so I've not actually tried one on yet.

I think Jan 11th is being optimistic. I honestly think it'll be an utter clusterfuck until Feb/Mar earliest. Don't forget you're relying on civil servants to get their act together and that never happens quickly.

Brexit was cooked up by Tory backbenchers like Rees-Mogg to protect their investments from the upcoming EU tax evasion laws. It was never about independence or taking back control.

Thing is, the whole L119Ax crowd are massive stitch counters who will just spend all day pointing out why you just have an M4.

Oh, THAT sort of IPA.... Fairy Power Spray isn't quite as good as it was but it still does the trick. Otherwise you're into nail polish remover and other equally icky stuff. You're right that the plastic is never quite the same colour afterwards but a bit of Autoglym dashboard cleaner can often sort that.

So - are you planning on keeping the Krytac upper? Or replacing the entire receiver? If you're keeping the upper I'd say you need to either get a new Krytac lower and have that engraved or engrave the one you have.
