The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[alxndrhll]

First delivery of repro Zenitco parts for the Krink arrived today. Extremely excited for this all to come together, fingers crossed fitting the hand guard won’t be too much of a pain! And y’know, praying the Krink itself turns up at some point when it’s released from the clutches of UPS.

Finally found an airsoft version of the SA80 Bayonet. It fits my ICS L85A2 with repro Surefire flash hider and in theory I should still be able to fire with it on the rifle although I suspect it will largely live in a sheath.

Now I just need to get a surplus MTP sheath for it and the black plastic component (think it's referred to as a bayonet frog?).

Once I've sorted out the sheath I guess I'll finally sort out my comm's and a batch of new mag's for my L85.

Good stuff, but please be careful with it - 5MW and 10MW for vis and IR respectively is pretty high power and will damage eyesight.

@paradoxum Please tell me that you are not intending to use one of these whilst actually playing?

5mw is too high? I just did some very quick googling and it sounds like red at 5mw is generally fine unless you're pointing it at peoples eyes?

They have a model labelled as "LED ver" https://www.egtactical.com/laser-sight/71-89-dbal-a2-white-ledred-laser-version.html#/39-color-dark_earth but it doesn't give any numbers, is that the one I'd wanna get instead? I can still cancel the order at this point.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-set-Tactical-IR-Infrared-Filter-For-DBAL-D2-Light-DBA-A2-Laser-Flashlight-/283932226938 grab an IR filter?

Also the DBAL specs say it has 'High&Low power modes of laser operation', so I'm assuming low might make it like, 3mw maybe? their stuff has frustratingly not much detail. I've asked though.

Back home from work trip away, new sight and speedloader arrived. Soon as the kids were in bed, bunged it onto the 933 ? happy with the result, however too knackered from work to try it out tonight. Some fun this weekend practicing in the garden to zero it.

Added the rubber jibber/bayonet for a bit of old skool effect. Not sure if I'll skirmish with it mounted but will have it on my vest as a SHTF/superCQB backup.

 I'd imagine it's a typo, 5mW (milliwatt - typical laser e.r.p., 5MW (megawatt) is Sci-Fi weapon territory and would fry whatever it was pointed at...) Sounds about right.

Still if be careful. Used to work with lasers in a previous job, as a private pilot I've known plenty of private and professional colleagues who've been Lasered by some fucking twat at night and nearly blinded - a couple of mW is enough - bloody dangerous to your eyes if not careful. I personally feel uncomfortable with others pointing them about the field, and would never fit one to my RIF. Just my opinion...

 unless you're pointing it at peoples eyes?

The issue with lazers I feel is that its easy to say you wont aim at the face.  But when someone peeks a corner at you, and the only thing you can shoot at is their face, what do you do? not shoot?  Because everyone, me included would instinctively fire off a few rounds at said peaking individual.  With a lazer on... Well, then you have just risked giving them eye damage, all be it unintentionally.  Happened to me at a Gaol night game with a guy running a green lazer, didnt get me in the eye, but was all over my face when I peeked the corner. 

In gameplay there are ample situations from lack of alternative targets to random muzzle sweeps that can make the best intentioned player inadvertantly lazer an iris. 

Quietly I have always been suprised when I have found sites that allow lazers.  But I also know of many that dont.

 

[Speedbird_666]

Lasers can also be a real problem if you catch someone through magnified optics.

 

[paradoxum]

Seems like the IR filter is a must then. I honestly can't even remember the last time I used a laser in a game anyway heh. So far I just use them for target shooting in the back.

TBH my comment should've focused more on the 10MW aspect for IR - I didn't know if you were planning to use this at a night game or not. But - great power, great responsibility and all that. It's great if they're got a lower power option.

From an IR perspective there's zero way for someone to know if they're staring into one until their vision starts failing, and it's harder for you to know exactly where your laser's ending up at night depending on various factors.

WAS DCS... nice bit of kit. Need the WAS PLB belt to go with it now.

Acetech Lighter S mini Tracer unit. One of the necessary purchases before game day.....Well that and the new mask I got commissioned which has taken over 2 months now to arrive. If my new mask doesn't arrive before game day I'm gonna be exceeding wroth. ?

welp, just caved and bought all the things, but the most notable is decided to take a punt on the warhead brushless motors so have an order in for the standard short-shaft version.

I recently got the PLB belt in Coyote to go with a new loadout. Had an OD one before and really liked it. The belts are comfortable with loads of MOLLE space. My only niggles with them are that the buckle strap could be thicker and the buckle itself is unnecessarily fiddly. I picked up the shooters belt pack and, even though I'm not a fan of the mag pouches, it's great value.

They are a sweet bit of kit , Ben the owner of ‘warhead airsoft’ is a really nice bloke , he plays at my regular site .
