The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[sp00n]

My poor bank account …. Just been and picked up my TM Saiga 12 …. Initial impressions, foregrip doesn't feel the best (cannot explane it), mags are quite hard to lock in for some reason, stock sights are pants (but i has an ak side mount), fixed hop (seems like the m870 hop system) …. That said the range on some 0.25’s was very impressive tbh

pics to follow

The Aliexpress shopping spree continues!

Since we are required to have a red light to signal we're hit during night games, and with me not wanting my expensive Streamlight Sidewinder being shot out, I have purchased one of these

It also lets people know that I'm a literal dickhead sometimes

The Ares Elcan Red Dot arrived today from overseas.  That finishes the build (well, until a proper grip pod comes up at a sensible price)

How heavy is it, Duff?

5.1kg unloaded with the sling and a 9.9v LiFe 1000mah in it.  Most of the weight’s towards the middle and rear so it’s still quite pointy

I got it from WGC (I thought I’d go old skool as nobody here had one)

Slight impulse buy so look out for some stuff in the classifieds soon.
 

Does feel a bit plasticky compared to other TM pistols, but it doesn’t matter as it’s never getting fired

Thanks for that.

Just arrived this morning: WE Samurai Edge Gen 2 bought from @Daveoc33 <- big thanks. The mag is gas tight as it still arrived with some left for me to fire it full auto for the giggles.

This thing is clean with very few signs of wear. Stripped it already and the inner barrel looks like it's never had a BB through it. I plan on clear-coating the emblems on the pistol grips to preserve them as i've heard these can wear away quickly. One issue i've noticed is that it looks like the hop isn't being applied centrally (when looking down the barrel) so I probably need to strip the hop unit and have a play with it however i'm going to replace the bucking with a new one due to the potential age of the stock one plus buckings have likely massively improved since this was released.

I know the whole John Wick thing has been done to death but just could not resist a proper Pit Viper kit. This included everything needed for a scratch build (not in picture includes hop and barrel, BBU, nozzle, springs and a few other items). Just arrived from Boomarms.

* DeltaMike Mini V2

Really pleased with this, been using rental masks til now and this feels another level of comfort. Leaves my massive nose exposed but I’ll take that. 
 

* Revision Bullet Ants 

Bought 2 pairs for me and the boy. I have a feeling these are going to fog up instantly for me but we will see. 
 

* Flecktarn/Bulle M4 chest rig

I wasn’t planning to spend anything on military wear, but for a shade under £50 this feels so much better than the generic backpack I’ve been using til now. 
 

3rd game this weekend so hopefully I’ll be able to spend even more money once UKARA registered.

Cat crap is your friend here*

Thanks, unfortunately both pairs didn't make it through half a day before the rubber fell apart so they are pretty much bin fodder at this point.

Heard good things about it so I think I will try some.

Were they new from a shop? If so I'd be demanding a full refund as they were obviously not fit for purpose
