Philby21 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Fell in love with Glocks when I saw them used extensively in The X Files and then went and bought a 1911 as my first sidearm. Since I finally bought a Glock I've fallen in love with it again, it just fits my hand nicely. First got into the Sopmod watching The Last Ship, just looked so purposeful, eventually went for the TM and again, it just feels right. During my regular trawls of AliExpress I've been noticing ads for backpack steady cam kits, then someone pointed me towards a website for building the Aliens M56 Smart Gun (based on the MG42) - completely impractical for skirmishing but I'm still tempted to build one!

Zarrin Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 These three are all inspired by some of my favorite movies... not the most practical primaries considering a distinct lack of RIS space. Also with the exception of the 733 they all look and feel pretty goofy with optics mounted IMO. M16VN - Definitely platoon and FMJ inspired (though not poxy apocalypse now with their sacrilegious use of 30rd silver stan mags 😂) M16/m203 - Predator, and Black Hawk Down. M733 - Mostly Black Hawk Down, but also Heat and Blood Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apharmd Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I bought mine for various guns from games and movies I wanted, or as close as I could get. G&G TR16 Short - Bought for a Halloween Game costume from Fallout New Vegas. Now upgraded into an "All-American" homage. CA SA58 - Based my black loadout on Tanith Ghosts, it looked like a good lasgun analog. G&G P90 (now sold) - Halloween again, went as Chief Tyrol from BSG. G&G TR4 Viper - MGS Patriot homage. Used a G&P frontend. TM SGR12 - "Abomination" from Monster Hunter novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted February 23, 2020 Supporters Share Posted February 23, 2020 Reasons why you buy a particular model of AEG jeez, coz I want it & (hopefully) can afford it (of a sort) Ask ya wife/GF why buy a particular bag/shoes etc... Honestly I think my own logic is along the lines of: I f**king like that ~ i REALLY f**king like that I think I can afford it (and hide it from wife) I had a quick check of some reviews and flaws - yeah still not bad fairly reliable, no real bad flaws to avoid like the plague (seriously, at least "try" to do a tiny bit of research if possible than buy a POS) What do the bits n bobs costs - extra mags & spare parts A good price or offer..... Oh shit they got it on offer - should i get a spare or one in tan as well as black Then it all goes crazy and another credit card gets max'd out once again Some people look for something different say Aug or L85 something others something looking all "operator" or used in wot not others like "f**k it, it was on offer" etc... end of day, most of them sling out BB's ok and allow you play peew peew peew so buy what YOU like with YOUR money they all have their flaws, some more than others, so seek a bit of advice maybe just before you part with your hard earned cash if you are a rich bastard like I once was.... Buy whatever the f**k you like as you got money to burn to create your own armoury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Ummmmmmmmm... For pistols: m1911 - Because Big Boss used one HK mk23 - Because Solid Snake used one (Who would've guessed I'm a massive fan of the Metal Gear Solid series...) For rifles: m14 - Because it's got that classic rifle aesthetic while being a good semi-auto DMR. Furthermore, Black Hawk Down was a thing and that last stand scene was super cool.

PrometheusX Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Price to performance and if it looks cool or not. Also availability of upgrade or replacement parts. Got an AY Spectre because of call of duty black ops. Might not be the best performer but it looks cool imo in gunmetal grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E21A Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Because I like the way it looks. Any AEG can be made to shoot well so what’s inside really doesn’t matter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spectre was kinda trashy but was fully standard v3 innards, so £50 of upgrades later, its a lovely little submachine gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarrin Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 39 minutes ago, SgtTalbert said: Who makes your M733? Is it any good OOTB? Built it from scratch bud. CA M15A2 reciever G&P M733/Commando front set TM CAR15 stock CA v2 shell with some decent innards... recently installed a homemade mosfet. Guarder infinite torque up motor. I think i bought most of the pieces from the classifieds on UKAZ or ASCUK - probably didn't cost me more than 150 quid total. considering the parts I used, it was a bargain. Don't think it's ever broken down on me, so reliability has been pretty damn good. Left it in storage for a couple of years and it wouldn't feed when I took it out again - swapped out the tappet spring and its been going fine ever since. Closest OOTB AEG you could find would probably be the G&P with A1 type receiver, so more like the one from Heat than BHD 😉 : https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/gp-m733-airsoft-gun-aeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would start with - new hop unit and good bucking - new piston and piston head - stronger spring - metal spring guide - rewire to deans After that, you will want gears/motor to either achieve faster rate of fire or faster trigger response...or a balance for both. Wouldnt bother with a tbb as it comes with a 6.05 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
