Baz JJ Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Have you tried the CO2 mags for the M9 ? AW sells them also and they offer sub 350fps in any temperature.

Not tried them Baz - Thanks for the heads up though, I'm getting good power and range from the current set-up but I will defo give them a try next payday
Happy Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 The scope you've listed, have you zeroed it? If so how well does it hold it? Might grab one for myself as I like that style of reticule.

I'm in the process of zeroing in the sniper scope at the moment, just getting it right for the ranges I will be using - from any given distance it's taken me around 20 minutes to get right (first time with snipers so you might be faster) but once you get it zeroed it's around 95% accurate I would say, I seemed to be getting 15cm inaccuracy in any given direction, but that could be my fault
Happy Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Nah I meant how well the scope held it's zero mate. Some cheaper scopes lose the zero after a while you see so I was curious to see how this one fared.

Some cheaper scopes lose the zero after a while you see so I was curious to see how this one fared. Seems to be holding good - took it out again tonight and re-tested it at the same distance, still as accurate Happy 1

Mtemprell Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Dude I don't want to come across a knob but I wouldn't wear rank tabs for airsofting. As people have had to work hard to earn right for that rank and a lot of people will not appreciate a civvy wearing that rank especially a officers rank slide.Edit: but the whole load out does look good.

Edit: but the whole load out does look good. You think? Never thought of it like that, but fair point I saw it on Ebay and was like "RAF rank slide for the RAF top would be cool" Edit: I may reconsider the rank slide now - especially if I was over in the UK for any matches
Mtemprell Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Yea as ex serving raf I see any rank in airsoft wrong. But as I say the rest of the load out looks spot on. sundown and djben9 2

sundown Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 I do like your m4. What is it? G&G GC16 Mod0 - http://www.airsoftworld.net/g-g-gc16-30th-anniversary-limited-edition-aeg-airsoft-rifle-black.html Had it for around 3/4 months now - solid all rounder and had no issues with it Mtemprell 1
shortman Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Have you used the sniper much? Whats your overall verdict? Seems a fairly cheap way to have a little dabble as a sniper before buying an all out sniper supreme gun. sundown 1
sundown Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Have you used the sniper much? Whats your overall verdict? Seems a fairly cheap way to have a little dabble as a sniper before buying an all out sniper supreme gun. Iv'e had it a good 7 weeks now and still not used it in a match! - we have an evening game tomorrow so will be leaving the gc16 at home and running sniper only (I always bring it then never use it, so only taking it tomorrow!)
shortman Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Cool, ill keep an eye out for an update bud
Happy Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah general consensus is that if you've not earned it then don't wear rank slides, berets, etc. Best left at home or to be worn as an impression at military fairs/reenactments. Personally I would zip tie the scrim net to your boonie hat when sniping - breaks up your outline more and let's you cover your optics when shooting from a hide. I've done this myself with my boonie hat and it works really well. Being zip tied on means it's very easy to remove as well afterwards or if you don't like it. Mtemprell, djben9 and sundown 3
sundown Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks for the tip Will give it a go in this evenings match!
