Only £600 for the whole job lot! I wonder if that's some sort of uber expensive red detailing on the RIF which you can only find in the deep depths of Mordor hence the price or maybe those knee pads on the belt add to some realism which for sure justify the asking price... Oh it's the Nuprol case isn't it...?

Hey, everyone knows that custom paracord wrapping is valued around at least $135 an hour

i must confess i do think the g36's reputation has been somewhat tarnished by its use as a rental gun.

although tbf there are a lot of guns people don't like "because they're plastic" regardless of wether or not it's realistic for them to be such.

Yea theres a lot of that. Im currently building mine into an MG36, but even then I still slightly cringe whenever I take it out. Then again, the second I pull the trigger people know its not a cheap gun (Got a Daytona engine in it). However after seeing @GothicGhost's I might have t send mine off to be cerakoted like my 417a2...

Unfortunately pistol wise there is nothing better than a Glock

Hasnt been that way for a few years now. Ask me 5 years ago and Id agree. However nowadays theres a reason the SEALs went to the P226 and the Army has gone to the P320. Sig has really been knocking it out of the park in the past few years.

Now i have a bit of experience, working for a Military/LEO training academy, as well as having access to my own toys. Here in the US my options for real toys is a bit more extensive than across the pond. Sig is quickly becoming my favorite shooting company. But heres a breakdown of what I own and what I use.

Pistols: for training its my S&W M&P9 Pro. Its had slight trigger work done and fiber optic sights; otherwise its stock. Ive recorded myself shooting it as fast as a split time of .16 seconds. If I was to shoot a compeition though id use a different gun. For a straight up pistol comp id be hard pressed to choose between my Wilson Combat 9mm 2011, or my Sig P320 Legion. Both are phenomenal guns. For a PCC/pistol hybrid match id go with my G19X. Not as smooth as the other three, but still up there. The first Glock I actually liked to shoot. The reason Id use it is magazine compatibility. Ill come more into this when I talk about PCC. My carry brings me back to Sig. I carry a P365 with a thumb safety. Small, large ammo capacity, good sights, comfortable grip. Its just a nice small gun.

Now. PCCs. These are my bread and butter. I own like 10. 2 Colt 9mm ARs, Kriss Vector, Sig MPX, Kalashnikov USA KR-9, Keltec Sub-2000, Flux Defense MP-17 (PCC version of a Sig P320), and a few others I dont really use. Im actually thinking of saving up and getting one of the recently released SP5s (Civi MP5s). Because why not - though the approx 3 grand price tag will make it easily the most expensive gun I own). Of them, the Kriss is my favorite to shoot. No contest. The 45* bolt is great, theres almost no muzzle rise, I can share mags with Glocks, and I can dump a 32 round mag into a torso at 15m in under 10 sec. The KR-9 is actually a close second in that regard. Very nice to shoot, unlike most AKs. Almost a competition-level trigger out of the box. The MPX is the one I'd take to war though. Accurate, small, compact, and a great shooter. Ive shot and won many matches with it. The Keltec is my car gun; folded up it sits between my door and seat. 4 second deployment and I have a 16in barreled rifle ready to go. The final one to talk about is the MP-17. The shortest of the bunch, and the least comfortable to shoot. But it gets the job done, and the fact that it can be holstered is nice too. Its a cool thing to whip out to show friends, and its what sits by my bed at night. But I wouldn't shoot a comp with it, nor pick it as a go to war gun. Ill also probably pick up an EVO because why not, and who knows? Maybe a Beretta CX-4.

Rifles: not as big a fan of these. Nothing against them, I just have maybe a 1/10 of the hours behind them that I do with PCCs, and those are about a 1/10 of the time ive had behind pistols. I own a few tricked out ARs of various makes, two MCXs, a mk16 and mk17, an AR-10, and various others. 7.62 is fun and all, but its a go to war round. Expensive to waste ammo with at the range, so those two dont get much range time. I will say though - now that FN has ironed out the issues with the original SCARs the mk17 shoots as well as a 556, and I like that. Now, if you havent shot a SCAR before though, youll likely break your thumb. That bolt reciprocates and will wallop you. I got lucky and only wacked myself. Now my SCARs are set up AK style. The MCXs are both a dream to shoot. The first is 556 and is a standard pistol variant. The second is chambered in 300 Blackout (though I do also have a 556 barrel setup) and is a Virtus. Whenever I have to demo long guns Ill use one of these. ARs are ARs, I dont need to talk about them. Ive also shot AUGs, Tavors, AKs, Galils, Fn2000s, m14s, and many more. Ill own some of them someday; the AUG is the nicest Bullpup Ive ever shot. The Tavor couldn't hold a zero at 100 yrds. The AKs always fall apart. Sure you can just stick them back together, but having to find your charging handle in the middle of a gunfight isnt ideal. Accuracy is also subpar stock. I also own an SKS, Lee Enfield, M14, M1 Para, and a ton of other guns I didn't mention as they are either collectors pieces (like my German 32 Auto Mauser), or are only used to train special groups (like the Japanese police force and their revolvers two years ago).

Shotguns: never liked them. Im as accurate with a PCC as am I with a shotty, shottys are useless for hostage situations, and have far less range. They hold less ammo, kick a lot more, and are no deadlier than any of my 9mms. I only own two - a Keltec KSG and a Remington M870. The 870 for training purposes, as thats what all the LEO units use. I almost never shoot them for fun, though if I hunted or did more three gun matches I would use them more. Just not my thing.

So in total my numbers that I often shoot are:

7 Sigs

3 FNs

3 S&Ws

1 Glock

1 Kriss

2 Keltecs

1 Wilson

1 Klashnikov

If they werent so bloody expensive no doubt Id have a couple of HKs in there - the SP5 and MR308 at the top of that list.

Ill be at the range for the first time since March next week after our range got shut down due to the Military stay-at-home order, so Im itching to just break out everything and spend a few days wasting ammo haha. If anyone wants pics of anything or videos let me know.

Urgh that might cause problems tomorrow night then!

If you play at CQB sites (especially in the UK) most know how to chrono a tri-shot. Maybe call or message them or something and just confirm its fine before hand so you dont turn up can not be able to play.

Ah makes more sense. And the short answer is... You dont... I just run mine on 80 PSI (yes, I converted it to a drum and HPA. Got tired of shells) with a tracer. I can slam fire the thing fast enough and people usually call it haha.

Hello, i have 2 airsoft guns but i dont remember models of them. can you please help and say what models are those??? its cyma but idk exactly

The pistol appears to be a CYMA CM123. AEP 1911 and all that. Uses CYMA CM030/G18C AEP mags.

The AK is more difficult, as we have no idea what you've modified/added in terms of externals. That being said, it looks like it could be the CM076E, but the mags are different, it has a different stock, and different flash hider. However that is most likely it.

Yea its basically precut square foam sticks. You just pluck out the ones you want and it shapes decently. Look at my posts on the previous page about my HK417A2/G28 project - thats a pluck foam case.

Noddy45 · July 19, 2020

The old girl got a face-lift

In all honesty I've been wanting to do a KWA Vector build for forever. I've lurked on the FB page for some time now, and had an idea of what I wanted to do, but I knew one thing was needed for sure before I invested time and money into the project - an HPA drum. Ive tried the GBB primary route and despised it for a single reason - the mags. Thats why Ive converted so many of my GBBs to Daytonas - WE Masada, VFC M27, etc. Especially here in the States, where its all about highcaps and volume of fire (I do miss UK airsoft; running around The Mall with my TM GBB MP7 or dual pistols...). While I dont need 1000 shots to get a hit, 40ish shots was a bit too little, especially when you go to reload and find your mag has leaked all the gas out. So a drum is a must. As such, my Vector has sat, and sat.

Then, I got an offer. It was a bit steep IMO but I took it, and then I was the proud owner of a broken Reaper Airsoft Customs drum mag for the Vector. Let the build begin!

The repair ended up being easy - a lot of epoxy and drying time and it was good to go. I didnt want to use a cheap China clone for a sight like I have on some of my builds - Ive had Daytonas throw off their zeros before. So I used a spare Vortex Sparq AR red dot I had. Magpul MOE irons and AFG2 mod to match my real Vector, Ace1Arms right hand mag release (so much easier when using the drum), replica Surefire M600DF light and my signature blue-lasered PEQ hooked up to a dual pressure switch. I also had to add a 45* rail for the torch so that I could still fold the stock. I have a Defiance .45 ACP suppressor but I am unsure if I will use it due to not needing an increased inner barrel due to FPS gains... Cover the remaining rails with ladder covers and add a sling swivel stock pin and the build is (externally) done. Still need to decide on what to do inside though... Yes @rocketdogbert I will use the FB page for that.

GAMBLE · July 13, 2020

Ive got like 23 patterns I can run. Its all about balancing what looks good to you, what works in your environment, and what you can afford.

For instance - I love Tropentarn, aka German Desert. However its expensive and does not work in the South East US at all.

German Flecktarn works extremely well, and is much more affordable and common than Tropentarn. However I dont care too much for the pattern.

Kryptek Highlander is affordable, works great in the environment, and I like the pattern - so for the longest time that was what I ran.

However sometimes camo can be about making a statement. ACU doesn't blend with anything other than concrete. M81 Pink doesnt blend at all. MC Black or Kryptek Typhon look ace but really only work indoors/in the dark. Pick something you like and can afford, and youll be happy.

And yes, I own all the patterns above and more.

Pappa Large · July 9, 2020

Well, thats another quarantine project done. Introducing the HK 417a2. It started life as two G28s; G28 LE #227 and G28 standard #IDontCareEnoughToCheck. #227 was my original G28 LE that Ive had for awhile, but it just kind of sat around as it was heavy, loud, and comparatively ineffective at range compared to my other DMRs. I wanted to upgrade it, but I wasn't sure what to do. Then comes the standard. I bought the standard off a secondhand airsoft app in November of 2019. It was a bastardization of a 417 and G28 - G28 receivers, grip, and outer barrel, but 417 buffer tube, stock, and rail. I didnt really care as it was dirt cheap and already had some decent upgrades in it. Turns out I should have cared, as not a month later the lower receiver cracked. Real bad. It may be repairable but itll be obvious. So I was left with a semi-upgraded but broken G417 and a stock G28 LE.

Now, between these two I built a 417 for a mate. I believe I posted it here, but it involved making a custom fitting to mount a PTS UBR stock to it. I looks good, and works well. It also gave me some experience building 417s that I didn't have before, and it gave me an appreciation for the "Battle Rifle" class of weapon. Essentially, a BR is a carbine-length DMR. This would include short-barreled AR-10s, Scar mk17s, etc. In airsoft you follow rifleman rules. It just looks fancier. Around this time I started toying with the idea of creating my own BR, but in typical Spaz fashion it had to kind of stand out. Knowing how much of a pain VFC mk17s are to upgrade, I shied away from them, but 417s are expensive, with an approx $450 price tag. Add in the $500ish in internals I would have to do to field it and things weren't looking too good on that front either... Plus, there arent many aftermarket externals for the VFC 417s, and my squadmate already runs the one I built him. Then this broken G28 shows up and I had an idea...

Until this year, I always preferred my guns having a dedicated setup. My M27 stays as it is, its sights are zeroed, I dont pull attachments from other guns, etc. However, with me recently turning my VFC Jag Arms PHX-15 SBR (see previous page) into a hybrid Krytac LMG with a second upper, I started thinking of doing the same with my G28 LE. I mean, if I built a lower based around trigger response why wouldn't it work in a DMR as well as a BR? So I began working on it. In this period I saw the news from SHOT that HK had revamped their 417 program into a new model - the HK 417a2. Shiny, new, not made in airsoft to date, and best of all - in RAL8000, just like my spare G28 receivers.

So to begin I stripped the 417 sniper parts off the standard and sold them. No need for them, so why not. Ill make someone else happy. Bought a 417 short rail off someone selling one. Ordered a short outer barrel and gas impingement system from VFC. Started asking for quotes from various techs I trust on AEG gearboxes. Started looking into HPA as well, cause why not. Decided to go HPA as it'd be about the same cost, and more importantly, much quieter. Ordered a REVO kit from Italy (3D printed kit that allows the G28 to take aftermarket triggers, more HPA engines, standard M4 hops, and more).

Ordered one of the new Wolverine Reaper Gen 2 Premium engines. Ordered a speed trigger, the internals needed to make the revo kit work, and an r-hopped barrel from the guy I always get my barrels from. Then it was onto externals. Ordered a fully trademarked Eotech XPS, G33 magnifier, KAC irons (closest I could find to gen 2 HK 417 irons - wasnt going to pay that much for the real thing - the rear sight alone is $300...), a Magpul AFG, a Surefire M600DF, and one of my signature blue-lasered PEQs. Rail arrived, and it sent it off with another project that will be unveiled here soon to be cerakoted in RAL8000. Rail returns, and most attachments come in. Decide I need a case, so pick up a Eylar 53in rifle case. Big, but i figured I'd need it. Case arrives, REVO kit arrives, Reaper arrives, bipod ordered and arrives. Install what I can, but Im still waiting for the order from VFC. Rest of the externals come in. Barrel from VFC finally arrived this morning, so in it went, gun went together, foam was plucked, and the HK 417a2/G28 project was complete. Now I can switch back and forth from G28 or 417a2 on the field depending on the role I want to play. The REVO kit also allows for full auto, so if the game allows it that is available. A fun project, a real head-turner (I hope), and it should have excellent range and accuracy. Im happy. Every part that should be is also trademarked, which really adds to the overall look.

GeorgePlaysAirsoft · July 4, 2020

Well, while I wait for my outer barrel order from VFC to arrive so I can finally complete my 417a2 project (its been 4 months...), Ive been working on various other projects. About a month ago I got a great offer on a Krytac LMG upper, R-hopped barrel setup, and two box mags for about 160 quid. Well, I tried it on several of my various ARs I have lying around including a VFC M27, KWA SR-10, KWA SR-7, VFC KA PDW, CA AR-15, and a few more, yet it wouldn't fir on any. However, it would fit on my backup gun. See, I have this one gun that goes to every game with me, no matter if I am using a SMG, LMG, sniper, etc. I built it as my first high end AEG about 5 years ago at a teching class run by a shop im rather close friends with. Its a VFC Jag Arms PHX-15 SBR. The thing is a tank, holding around 300 FPS and 26RPS with an 11.1. I always bring it as something fancy always breaks, and after a MilSim two years ago where I had three of the 5 guns I brought go down I always bring the gun I affectionately call "Backup". Well, Backup's lower happened to fit the Krytac LMG upper. Backup is black with tan highlights, stock, grips, etc. Well, after installing the LMG upper I was not a fan of the Rogers SuperStock I had on it. It just seemed too small. So I got a PTS MOE Rifle AEG stock that would fit my brick LiPos, since an LMG should always have a bigger battery. Well, that turned out to not be great, as the stock took about 5 hours of modification to actually fit the gun. However, it now looks great and is solid. I also added a Vortex Crossfire T1 and an Eotech G33 magnifier on top (I may end up using an ELCAN like most of my other LMGs), and a Magpul AFG2 (may switch it to tan to match the look Backup's AR form has) and Harris-style bipod. Now, with about 10 minutes at home/20min on the field I can switch between Backup's AR and LMG forms.

I mean it's cool and practical to roll the sleeves either to the elbow or at least partially when it's hot vs cinching them closed around the wrist, way more air flow. The look of not-collapsed-on-the-floor is the one I'd recommend though. It just always sticks in my head that almost bob on 2 years ago from today I was at a small site with temperatures much like they are now (peaking over 30) and 2 guys turned up in all black gear with PCs, then I'm pretty sure they drank either nothing or coffee/energy drinks and both feinted in the safe zone shortly before lunch. I was there in a super thin MC combat shirt (i.e. light colours) with a small chest rig and thin coverings all over much to protect myself from the sun, still sweating lots but drinking loads of water, the occasional bite of a cereal bar, felt warm but fine. Not saying this is anyone here but it was an eye opener to how unaware folks sometimes is when it comes to being out in climates they're not usually in.

Yea, Im always amazed at all day MilSims in the Southern US in late August, or really Autumn in general... Its not uncommon for me to drive out onto the field at ENDEX and pick up heatcas guys who are having trouble making it back to camp... Heck I almost never run long sleeves anymore, and I had Roman make me some short sleeve combat shirts so I can stay bougie yet cool.

18? Wow 😮 To be honest I was leaning towards OD to keep things all a solid colour. My local store has a decent selection of patterns, brand wise they have Invader Gear, Helikon and 5.11.

To be honest it could very well be more... But I also do a lot of MilSim events where we have to be in a specific pattern and such.

Lets see if I can remember the list...

OD

FDE

Black

Kryptek Typhon

Kryptek Highlander

German Flecktarn

German Tropentarn

AOR1

AOR2

M81

Danish M84

Italian Temperate Vegetato

Chechnyan Ataka (Russian version of ATACS FG)

Russian Partizan

Russian Fall Partizan

Russian 2000s era Berezhka

Ghillie

ATACs AU

Russian EMR

Russian EMR Desert

Soviet Officer Uni

ACU (or UCP)

Multicam

OCP (US Army copy of Multicam)

Auscam

Pink M81 because why not

I do also have Kryptek Neptune/Pontus for Scuba/Spearfishing if that counts haha

Im sure theres one or two more Ive forgotten... TBH 90% of the time I wear Kryptek Highlander or Tropentarn for tan teams, Flecktarn for green, and Krpytek Typhon for black. Its only for specific events or if Im running with a different squad that wants to use one of the others that I use something else. For instance the M81 and M84 were for a specific event in December 2017, the Russians are for when I play with, well, a Russian team, etc.

Tackle · June 18, 2020

I mean both work decently well outdoor, OD probably works a little better indoor. They are both very common and can be obtained rather cheaply. I guess it kind of comes down to personal preference and availability. I personally would go with something grey or black for indoor, but Im also the type of guy to have 18 different complete patterns to match whatever environment I play at.

June 15, 2020

Picked up a GoPro Max. I already have a 7 Black so I didnt feel the need for an 8, but non of the sessions are up to date with the technology (mainly looking for image stabilization). The Max may have been a bit pricy, but I think Ill set it up like AirsoftCamMan's and itll work nicely.
