The 'What have you just bought' Thread



Haha, honestly I need 1 more to complete the loadout. 4 in the carrier, 2 in the belt, 2 in the leg rig, 1 in the gun. 8 was the most I could get (limited them to 4 per customer, plus I got 3 spares with the MWS I bought), and at 35rds per mag I'm not even carrying a single m4 high cap in BBs yet  :P

That's a shit load of weight you're gonna be carrying on you. But you're definitely prepared for any skirmish or milsim venture with that loadout. I've been running a measly 3 for the past 4 games whilst battling the urge not to full auto in open field games. 

 
an M4 to G36 mag adaptor


On doing some forensic analysis, I've had to file mine a bit both on the outside at the top, to get it into the G36 magwell, and also inside to get STANAG mags to go in without using Thor's hammer.  I may also have run a rat-tail file up the BB tube as it's a little kinky as stock.

Thanks for the pointers, hopefully I'll have the G36 by wednesday which should give me time to iron out any kinks before sundays game.

Yeah, though that is somewhat the idea. Whenever I play rifleman, I play it for weight loss; those 8 magazines are in addition to the weighted plates in my plate carrier. Won't find me running as a speedyboi as I'm just not built for it, even when I'm slim, though it's one hell of a workout playing slow and sneaky while lugging all that weight around. Plus it's nice and immersive, and I'm a bit of an immersion nerd!



I can't believe you found a pic of me at a skirmish with my usual compliment of magazines! Normally they're all high caps, but sniping has taught me some trigger discipline now ;)

 
I'm a fan of cheeky cheap items especially if they are G&P .

Grabbed this on ebay not long ago for £34 shipped!! Could not pass that up , fully working with a charger.. lower handguard has been repaired in the past and good chance I'm not going to use it at my woodland site ?

Outstanding, sir!

It's not that bad, currently I carry 5 mws mags on my operator belt (as well as 4 glock mags and my holster and grenade), 3 in my chest rig and 1 in the gun if I want. If you're smart about weight distribution and cinching your gear, the weight isn't that noticeable.

 
Got my JG G36 today, in time for Sundays game. First impressions are pretty good! The M4 mag adaptor also works very well and is very easy to install and remove (though it did need a little fettling to get mags to sit nicely in it, as @Rogerborgwarned me, but this was done a few days ago with a few strokes of the file).

I also got a 2nd hand viper gun carrier for £20. Pretty much as new, just a little faded.

Both purchased from Action Hobbies, who have been a pleasure to deal with.

Funnily enough, I bought a JG G36C from Action Hobbies back in 2008ish as my second gun.

Very good value for money - they are commonly associated with rental guns so lack the 'cool' factor these days. Don't see many G36s round my parts these days outside of the rental punters.

I do have a soft spot for the G36, but it was the association with rental guns (and general good vibes here and elsewhere) that convinced me to buy it...

If you're after a reliable workhorse AEG, then logically you can't go too far wrong looking at what guns the sites are using as rentals. 

Other points in its favour were the low comb of the stock, which will work with a Warq when I get one, and the fact it can fold up and fit in my general gear bag.

She's all scoped up and ready to play now, got a rough zero in the back garden. Shame the red tape is showing on the mag (it doesn't on the M4) but you can't have everything.

I got mine - in beige, the best colour - largely because I hadn't seen many others around.  Then my local site of course switch them them as rentals.

I'll not wax too lyrical. The two-piece V3 trigger is always going to be vaguer than a single piece V2.  That contributed to mine locking up fairly easily on semi with the mediocre stock motor: plenty of cut-off-lever locks that needed an auto burst to clear them, and also a couple of a hard locks where the motor stalled out completely with the spring fully compressed.

But with the motor upgraded and learning not to try and semi-spam too fast, it's run flawlessly.  The rotary hop is pretty decent, and it feeds well off of M4 mags via the adapter.  It takes upgrades easily enough, and here's the kicker: I've never opened the gearbox. Not once, even to shim it.  You can solder onto the external trigger tabs, and I just spooged some chainsaw oil into the bottom half and silicone oil into the cylinder, and it's run sweetly.

"Workhorse" isn't too unreasonable a description.
