    When a ‘good idea’ meets reality

    The app can show you the different points of interest e.g. for your objectives, show where your team mates are (if they are using the app), you can receive instructions from command etc (if that app is used at your site). So in theory it all sounded interesting to try out.

    When a ‘good idea’ meets reality

    I thought it might be useful to have a phone mount on my plate carrier so that I can use the Ares Alpha app to see my location, that of the objectives etc. So I got myself a cheap mount from AliExpress that protects the phone and holds it securely in place (in landscape mode) on my chest. I can...

    What's reasonable in the Ghillie/Leaf suit world?

    I thought working on your own suit is part of the fun. I got just Sniper Bolero https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/invader-gear-sniper-bolero-head-and-shoulders-ghillie-suit got some raffia and started crafting. The Invader gear bolero is very sturdy, hides the head shape nicely and it is easy to...

    Where did your forum name originate?

    My ones comes from my other hobby where I shoot 42.67 mm BBs and try to hole them. Hunting Pars shows my level of competence as I would starve if I would hunt birdies ? @GenuineGermanand you are not the only German in town as my Flecktarn loadout shows (although I still served in the old olive...

    Eye protection fog issues

    I guess Novritsch saw that video as well ?

    Boonie v base ball cap

    I use a boonie and I think it protects quite well and with the draw string it won't fall off. If you are worried about hits to the head you could add a bump cap (for the boonie or cap) Bump cap at Amazon I use that for CQB oh and a boonie of course looks a lot more reccy ?

    Eye protection fog issues

    I am surprised. I just remember one video where they shot BBs at the ExFog and the Novritsch one and the Novritsch one broke. They must have improved on that.

    Eye protection fog issues

    Alternative to the Novritsch system is ExFog (you can get it from PatrolBase). My son uses it and you can hardly hear it. I am thinking of getting one myself and then design and 3d print a bracket for my Wiley-X which holds the tubes in place. I had bad problems with fogging at first as I was...

    What have you just 3d printed (for airsoft)

    One brilliant thing I’ve found for airsoft are these: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/bb-bottle-cap-for-emptying-mags Makes unloading your mags a breeze! I have also printed a carbine kit for my AAP but that took a few attempts to get right (3rd time lucky with the main body) and hours...

    Aluminum casting 3D printed parts.

    PLA isn’t the right filament to use IMHO. You could try PLA+ or PETG but the way you slice it is important as well.  I’ve only recently started 3d printing and I’ve already broken a few AAP prints I am working on. Try to find out in what direction you will have the main force and try to have...

    Can you keep an AEG in a hot attic or will that damage the hop rubber?

    I’ve asked ChatGPT what it thinks:   In the UK, where outdoor temperatures rarely exceed 25°C (77°F), an attic can still become significantly hotter due to various factors such as sunlight exposure, lack of ventilation, and insulation. Here are some points to consider: ### Temperature...

    Can you keep an AEG in a hot attic or will that damage the hop rubber?

    I’ve kept my AEG in a hard case in the attic and up to a few weeks ago it didn’t get very hot up there but that has changed. I played today and while it is still hopping the BBs well I thought it curved more today than before. What is your advice? Can I leave an AEG in the attic in a padded...

    What have you just 3d printed (for airsoft)

    So my Ender 3 v3 SE has arrived and I’ve done my first few test prints (non-airsoft related). We are now thinking of printing some airsoft related stuff.  What material do you normally use for hand guards, rails etc (e.g. for a carbine kit). I’ve only printed PLA so far and I’ve already...

    What have you just 3d printed (for airsoft)

    Has anyone tried to print a Odin sound dampener insert in TPU? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115851600497 Would that work?

    Molle Phone case that protects the camera as well

    Thanks, the IdoGear looks like it will do the job just fine.

    Molle Phone case that protects the camera as well

    Hi I think a molle phone case that you mount on your plate carrier could be quite useful, e.g. if you use maps or even Ares Alpha. I have seen quite a few models but they all have an opening for the camera. What a brilliant idea for Airsoft …  I don’t want my camera being shot out. I won’t...

    What have you just 3d printed (for airsoft)

    I am currently looking at the Ender 3 V3 SE which looks quite interesting. That one would only be able to print PLA/PETG/ABS but I guess for Airsoft parts or parts around the house that is what you want.

    What have you just 3d printed (for airsoft)

    My son is floating the idea that we should get a 3D printer. I am not opposed to the idea but I first want to get some feedback from people who are using 3D printers for Airsoft (and other stuff).  How much do you have to spend to get a decent one (not the cheapest and not the most expensive...

    My Specna RRA SA-E01 is feeding like a PIG now..

    Why don’t manufacturers do that by default. Seems an easy thing to do. Just requires some O-rings.
