    SeniorSpaz87 got a reaction from JinxDuh in Looking at getting red dot + magnifier for sniper rifle... am I insane? I've noticed   
    I mean, yes. But at the same time Ive run red dots on some lower-power lever-actions and such, so its feasible. Personally Id run a 1-4 lightweight LPVO - you still get the 1x if you want it, and LPVO glass and clarity is exponentially better than a magnifier. Magnifiers kinda suck, even in the real steel world - youre magnifying *everything* by 3x or whatever, which includes your reticle; Youve just turned your 2MOA reticle into a 6MOA, taking up a ton of space in your optic and now instead of aiming at a specific spot on a target, youre just aiming at the target as a whole. They also fisheye pretty badly, and are just overall not a great idea. They also tend to take up the same space and weight as a LPVO, and tossing a throw lever on a LPVO takes the same action as flipping a magnifier to the side, so you really get 0 positives to using a magnifier over a LPVO.
     
    Cost is pretty similar, though a LPVO will add a few quid - looks like the Vortex Crossfire 2 1-4x can be had for 200, while a G43 and eotech are a combined 150 or so. Vortex does have that no questions asked returns policy as well; that alone makes them my preference in airsoft. There are cheaper red dot combos you can go for; G33s are cheaper for instance (but larger and heavier), but my vote would still be on a LPVO.

    SeniorSpaz87 reacted to JinxDuh in Anyone know anything about Asahi MG34s?   
    A nightmare if they go wrong, parts are pretty much non existent. Any time one comes up, 99% of the time they're "display" because the gbb doesn't work, and the odd 1% where it is working will cost you double (If not more)
     
    Cool display piece (Although now Denix is making 34's reenactors are buying those), definitely not worth it for actual airsoft use imo.

    SeniorSpaz87 reacted to Impulse in Spicy take time. Plate carriers look stupid on larger individuals. I'm not just talki   
    For me it's not so much as "while I'm carrying some extra weight". For me it's once I lose that weight I think it's still going to look comically small as I'm naturally very broad. It's not wide or long enough, though I think I will look into a dangler pouch to get rid of the length problem. Thanks for the suggestion there @SeniorSpaz87!

    Danglers help a good bit tbh. Also, go with a soft armor carrier to fit form better. Though after a point youre always gonna end up at the "bulletproof bib" if youre just too big.
     
    For instance. At the end of an 8-hour game at a MilSim recently, I was tired and forgot to suck in my gut for this pic. Not my best look haha:
     

     
    On the flip side, heres the same thing a week or so earlier - but with a dangler pouch this time. Much better at hiding my curves lol - and Im even wearing the bulletproof bib in this one - a Crye JPC instead of the larger IDZ vest I have on in the first pic:

    SeniorSpaz87 got a reaction from GenuineGerman in Does no one want to swap a PSG1 haha. I wonder why oh I’m asking a lot for it. Maybe   
    Several factors honestly. Most people arent going to want to pay 130quid over retail even if it has an added scope. This is even more true if its a GBB. Then the market for GBBs is generally smaller than that of AEGs, so your crowd of potential buyers is smaller. Next, GBBs as DMRs tend to be less accurate than their AEG counterparts, so people looking to field it are going to be turned off by that. This is compounded by only having one mag - people are going to need to buy more if they want to field it (and the mags arent cheap - an extra 50 quid a pop adds up fast). Any gun once used generally drops in value by a third, so at best you should expect to get about 675 by following only that rule ((860+165)*2/3)(though that can vary wildly based on availability, desire, etc.). A collector is just going to buy new, as they will want a perfect condition version, and brand new that gun plus the scope would only cost about 1020 quid. Id set it at 800 open to offers, and see what comes along, expecting to get between 650 and 800 for it. Theres no major issue leaving your starting price that high, but most people are going to ignore it with that high of a price tag, even if its just a fill-in.

    SeniorSpaz87 got a reaction from Druid799 in Welp, TRMR got stolen this weekend. Thats gonna be a PITA to replace...   
    Fun times. Im still baffled how it happened - I drop it around a corner, goes off, and Im hit as I pull back. enemy breaches my room, and after they clear onto the next I turn into their old room to pick it up and its gone. Spent 30 min wandering the area trying to find it. No dice. This was early Sat morning and by Sunday afternoon it had not been turned in. Ive got keyword flags up on the popular secondhand sale sites to keep an eye out for me, so we will see.

    Maybe, but I guarantee its found its way into someones collection. With almost 600 people at the Op theres always a handful that are scumbags. Granted, I had a VTG "stolen" two years ago and it actually did get returned to me, so Im still hopeful...

    GoPros are the best there is - however I suggest you get, at the very least, a Hero 7 Black. That was the first one with their top of the line auto-stabilization technology. The 8s are supposedly even better. The Max is interesting as its a 360 camera with stabilization. It allows you to pick your camera angle, so you never end up with something out of frame. AirsoftCamMan was the first person I saw use a Max in airsoft, and it works well for him. We will see how it works for me.
