Glad to know i'm not the only one who can't not see caliber numbers when they appear.

lmaooo
the idea of opening a gearbox in the field T.T
I literally said that I am not sure - but it's not 1,5mm - how is that obscure?? That its imperial 0.05" is possible thou.

My personal airsoft medkit contains….
3 Phillips screwdrivers: one long for buffer tubes, one short and stubby for gearbox case screws, one small mainly for poking wires and checking shimming.
1 flathead for opening gearboxes and prying things that need prying
1 pair of needle nose pliers
1 pair of channel-lock pliers
about 30 Allen wrenches
2 Guarder chromed cylinders, one full and one 3/4
2 pistons, one Aztech lightened w/ some assorted head and one SHS 15t FMR w/ POM head
2 sets of gears, one SHS 18:1 and one XYT 18:1
2 assorted cylinder heads
2 neodymium motors, typically one Arcturus 28K and one Tienly 35K or whatever I’m not using…
1 Perun hybrid unit w/ trigger (believe I’m using Krytac trigs as spares currently)
1 265mm Lambda 5 inner barrel
1 Prowin hop unit, 1 Maxx hop unit, and whatever other units I might have around…
a couple generic fit tappet plates and nozzles
1 tube of aquarium silicone
1 tin of molykote grease
1 tube of superlube
teflon tape
duct tape
scotch tape
aluminum tape
one tube of steel epoxy (until I used it all and forgot to add more…)
A few corks
100 0.1mm shims
1 sharpie king size
1 hand file set from China
1 battery checker
1 thing of isopropyl alcohol
1 thing of brass polish
1 set of electronic calipers
1 tube of blue threadlocker
1 small tube of superglue
some 8mm vinyl tubing
and probably a lot of random things that I’m not remembering…

Looks like you could build a new gat from the contents of your toolbox ?

I'd say primarily the mat in any given kit needs to be proportional to the depth of tasks that the tools will allow you to undertake; I sometimes feel like safe zones are almost deliberately designed for small parts to get as lost as is possible (they aren't, just feels like it).
I can get on board with something like a multi-tool, tape, maybe allen key set because airsoft guns (especially the ubiquitous AR AEG) are mostly held together with metric allen headed screws and some manufacturers don't tighten stuff up very thoroughly. More than that though and, as said, you really want to be inside a nice, clean, smooth, clutter free room with no gosh darn holes of any kind in the floor.
Some folks will have specific parts on their specific guns where they know they'll need X or Y on a regular basis for whatever reason, but I'd say a medium flat/cross head and 1-5mm allens cover most things on most airsoft replicas. Props to some of the folks in here if you've been doing piston changes on site though and saving the day, that's ballsy lol.

Exactly.
Really not huge. It’s a small briefcase. I should’ve clarified, I bring my kit to safe zones, but mainly it’s for when me and a few buddies drive out into the mountains and play. We happen to know a guy who knows a guy who gave us permission to play on certain public land tracts, and if we drive two hours and something breaks down I like to be able to fix it.
