The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[TheFull9]

it's all about performance at the end

may go for the Guarder metal kit in time.

You gotta pick one of the two man.

I have an E2 that I bring up at every opportunity.  Been bone stock for bloody years and it just works, and works.. and works.  Any weather, zero maintenance, shoots straight and far, an absolute no brainer go-to that I never ever have to worry about because when I pull the trigger it goes pop; frankly an awesome primary in close CQB.  Personally I'd strongly recommend a different 226 if you want metal so you always have this dependable workhorse at your side, I'll bet any money you will massively appreciate having it in your collection always ready to go when others might let you down (depending what else you have obviously).

Totally behind @TheFull9 on this one, I’ve got an E2 which is my back up pistol and hasn’t failed me once. I only use my Glock 19 more as I prefer the feel of it. 
 

I find the E2 actually has a much stronger kick than other pistols I’ve used, and with plenty of range and accuracy to boot.

Very true. Just ran it through the chrono. 240-250 fps at approx .8j on .28s and green gas. Very surprised at the recoil for a plastic pistol. Looking forward to getting it out on the range. Will definitely be keeping everything stock for now...and probably always will tbh. 

Do you run green gas or 144a?

 

[Jacob Wright]

I’ve always run green in mine. 

 

[C-Diddy]

I’ve always run green in mine. 

Happy with that. Just surprised that the kick was similar to the CO2 mag I run in my Glock! 

Need to find another holster now ?

 

[Jacob Wright]

Yeah I reckon it’s one of the strongest kicking GBB pistols I’ve ever had! ?

On the ‘to do’ list ?

Ps nice job you’ve done there .?

 

[EDcase]

Fun fact: They were actually brown but the lighting in the film made them look green ?

(I still prefer the green as that's what they 'looked' like)

Remember, short, controlled bursts...

Aliens remains my all time favourite film. And the Pulse Rifle one of the coolest ever gnus, along with the MA5 and Morita.

It was on ITV4 last night, my mrs had never seen it so put it on to watch, it’s on my list of top 10 great movies, she would rate paint drying higher

Wimmen huh!! ??‍

My Mrs likes Aliens but can't stand the other Alien movies, too scary.

For a guy who can't get his V3 gearbox to fit together after 7 hours of effort, this feels like a bold move But if I'm ever going to learn this stuff, might as well go in at the deep end!

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Jings that's a veritable parts feast that. Did you get anywhere with reassembling the gearbox or improving the fps yet Rostok?

 

[HuttArmouries]

Just got my toystar daewoo k2c1 kit and put it together. Having owned the older classic version they have really upped their production quality. I was told this one is glass fibre polymer rather than straight plastic like the older one.  Flash hider is getting painted tomorrow.

So for Christmas I bought the missus a Cricut machine and have actually been using it a lot myself to make stickers for my van from photos of my toys.

Yeah, there's a thread over in Electric Guns where I've been tracking my progress working on it... 



And thanks to the input of @Adolf Hamster, @Asomodai and @ak2m4 I've actually got it up-and-running. 

I've not actually used the new piston and piston head, I got a better air seal with the old piston!
It's now running a teeny-tiny bit too hot at ~355fps so when I take it apart again to do a lube job with some proper grease, I'll maybe swap over (it's definitely better made, so worth using), see how it goes

Just picked up this Salient Arms 2011

Got a lovely weight to it, nice and snappy, and who doesn’t like Gold!!

On the clothing front, bought a pair of Helikon Greyman trousers, see how they look for smarter for work instead of the combats ?. Only issue is sizing is not the same as the usual SFU trousers and they have a Velcro waist fastener
