The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Never seen these before. Just checked them out. They seem good. May invest in some of these. I imagine the shot shell blanks are fucking loud!

I liked them mostly because the spoons are fixed which means no lost spoons or buying replacements. As for noise, i've tested 12G blanks with other BFGs and they're barely any louder than .209 and they're definately not louder than any other single-use pyro I own. Only difference is the 12G blanks just emit a big puff of smoke when they go off. I legitimately think that the 9mm blanks are louder than the 12G ones. 12G blanks are just that much more expensive than 9mm or .209 that it's not worthwhile to be honest which is probably why most newer BFGs only cater to .209 primers like the Quake 8 etc.

12G blanks are £15 for 10. £1.50 a bang.

9mm/.380 blanks are £18 for 50. £0.36 a bang.

.209 blanks are £8 for 100. £0.08 a bang.

Thanks for the info. The do look well built. And from what I have read higher grade steel too.

“Pyro gloves”

After seeing somebody nearly loose a few digits and get some nasty looking burns I decided I wanted some thicker gloves for when messing with splody things.

If the incident you're referring to is what I think it is, you could just try not trying to pick up pyro and attempting to throw it back lol

 
Two new arrivals today, one expected and one not.

A Ridgeline DrOP, which is something I've been waiting on for a while. Fixes a 'problem' that's annoyed me for a while, first solution I've seen that's not a bodge (not to say it's the first to exist mind you). Essentially does the same as a holster mid ride but for your mag carrier(s). Stops jackets snagging, slight angle on it stops cummerbunds and the like getting in the way and overall just a comfier draw. Initial playing around with it says it's a great purchase, wouldn't be shocked if these sorts of things become 'a hot item' this year. Photo shows old setup versus new, and then how it sits on the belt.

And a new Agilite helmet cover to go with the new lid, crazy turn around speed. From Slovakia to here in less than 24 hours. AMPs also throw on there, next on the list is 4D pads.

Awesome, out of interest, who's the firm in Slovakia.?

 
By my understanding Agilite are based in Israel, but have hubs they ship out of to different territories. One for Europe seemingly being in Slovakia, don't believe this was the case when I ordered from them a year or so ago as I'm fairly certain that came straight from Israel. If I've got the wrong end of the stick and you were purely asking about which courier, it was DHL.

Got them today due to a minor delay in delivery.

They feel good in the hand, wider/bulkier than most BFGs but fill the hand nicely. They're a hefty bit of kit, a good weight to them. The body is covered by a rubberised plastic type material that will soak the majority of impacts however the metal head is exposed and will take damage. 209 primers give a good loud bang. 9mm even more so. 12G are as previously discussed, as loud as .209 but a big ol puff of smoke to go with it.

Only issue i've found is that one of my two grenades was a bit finnicky with the pins and required a fair bit of 'use' before it wore in enough to be acceptable. The other was totally fine out of the box. I can only guess there were some tighter tolerances during the making of the 2nd grenade. After extensive use i'd imagine it'll be fine.

Tested .209, 9mm and 12G with both and they work like a charm. That 3/4 second fuse is not as long as you think :D

It's one of the least glamorous on this thread but I now have a thigh strap that fits an adult on my dpm holster....

Good stuff. I will take the plunge with them I reckon. I did see on a review that they take some wearing in. And also new ones the timer is a little premature but settles to stated time after a little use. Good thing is as they are timed you dont need to lob them, a good low through or almost roll is sufficient for room clearing. Where did you buy them from? I noticed on the official website they are 85 I think but of you buy 2 they are a little over 60 each.

 
For my tm akm 

BBF hop arm

DyTac/Arron Smith AK Master mount repro

Repro PK-A (I struggled to find one these days, ak optics are a bit limited imho)

for my tm mk18

BJTAC G style steel trigger

Fifewargames - they're out of stock on the official site and just about everywhere else when I was looking.

Edit: As of 1450 today Fifewargames are also out of stock.

Edit2: As of 24/1/23 they're back in stock, black only.

While I wait for my new rig to arrive:

- G&G ARP-9 handguard for the AAP (pics will follow);

- Specna polymer upper receiver;

- Random 128x32mm suppressor, building a lighter, more modern upper for my 933 specifically for tournaments (pics will follow)

 
I've just bought a few keymod to picatinny rails, and some lipo alarms. Nothing too exciting. But I've just found a relatively local indoor CQB site that runs regularly weekday evening games that I hope will give me the chance to go more often, and so I felt like I needed to invest in a flashlight attachment. Which meant I needed to bite the bullet on the rails, as my keymod setup makes it a little restrictive when looking at attachments.
