The 'What have you just bought' Thread

All thoroughly wrapped by Fire Support (surprisingly).  I was looking to enhance my E&C M16 somewhat and was expecting the G&P stuff to be a lot nicer as their full M4/M16s from back in the day were overall nicer externally, but where the G&P bits turned out a cut above in a lot of areas, they also fell short in a few as well and on balance I couldn't/didn't choose to use most of the front end stuff.  As an example, the 203 handguard has a much more realistic leaf sight than an E&C equivalent and maybe slightly better plastic but it's completely missing the metal inner heatshield (which the E&C has).

Oh and don't buy an LCT Crane stock.. holy shit literally the worst quality plastic airsoft accessory I've ever touched ?  Suuuper thin and awful plastic, sharp, pathetically lightweight, shiny and poorly fit with the side compartment caps barely held in place.  The other stock is an ASG which lacks the QD sling mount but the plastic is matt, thick and sturdy; pretty damn close in composition to a real B5 SOPMOD.

While I'm not their biggest fan admittedly, you just can't deny Helikon stuff especially the more recent lol.  The cap is weirdly small but the (stupidly named) trousers are just stupidly good; got given another pair in green about 5-6 years ago and wear them absolutely constantly yet they still look new, so had to go for a 2nd set.

After 6ish years of use, my Crispi Boots started to fall apart, they became ultra rigid, lost all the grip, can't be resoled..

Gore-Tex membrane is still okay but they're not suitable for my needs anymore.

So I bought these La Sportiva ones, Ultra Raptor II model:

Hopefully they'll be comfortable and last a long time

From an advert that I stumbled across on here . . bought completely on a whim!

A G&G Wildhog GC16. In the words of Borat, its a very niice.

There is an issue with the acog that I will be asking questions about, but I'll do that tomorrow as I'm going to bed.

Always been a g&p fan boy , but I have found my self going to e&c for stuff and for the price it's worth it so far .

In a bid to make moving stuff around for games and such less hassle, bought this in the Easter 25% off sale at UKT - Warrior X300 - so got everything apart from the guns packed in that

Impractical, considered ugly by many, but I have had my eye on this for months, and now it's mine.

Ready steady go.

It's a starting pistol on steroids ?

I'm not sure about it but there is a sort of chunkiness and 'i mean business' look to it.

I wouldn't be out of the running if one came my way.

What is it?

 

[Skullchewer]

Marushin Mateba, 3 inch version.

Marushin Mateba, 3 inch version. 

Yes I've just done a lens search on it.

Yours has a brass bit sticking out which doesn't seem to be on the pics I've seen.

Must admit it has a certain charm to it?

 

[Skullchewer]

Yeah, not sure what's up with that, but I like it ?

It's a fixed hop, so I've been experiment with weights, .3s seem to be the sweet spot.

I'm mixed, I think I'd like it a lot more if it didn't have the brass bit sticking out.

Do we know what that's for  ??

Nice to see another mateba owner here in the UK.

I have two matebas of my own,  but I have yet to field them yet (one is the 8mm ghost in the shell collector version, so will never leave the house, the other is 6mm calibre 5 inch barrel version, but I dont have a holster for it yet)

Yeah, I'm scratching my head about a holster for this, without breaking the bank too much.

It unscrews ??‍

Just arrived from Japan, but I finally got around to getting a front strap for the mac11. Now I just need to get a replacement front sight as my one snapped off at some point (and they're not expensive to replace...)
