Popular Post mightyjebus Posted March 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2022 made about 7 or 8 sets of these now. 99.9% fog free days for the last 6 months since I started using them. they run off a 5v USB battery pack (same thing you charge your USB devices with). They are very quiet, to the point that you don't know the fan is running when you are playing. I've just built a 12v version for shits and giggles and it runs off a normal AEG battery. The 11.1v lipo I used made it sound a bit loud but a 7.4v battery makes about the same noise as the 5v versions.

mightyjebus Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 if life wasn't so hectic I probably would. Just been doing them for my team mates but if you happen to be at the prison with a spare pair of glasses I might be able to sort something out Druid799 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much cheaper than buying ExFog! Well done they look great! Edited March 12, 2022 by Khyber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjhirst Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I cut slots in the mags at the appropriate height and fit the adaptor between the two. It's then all secured in with my dual mag clamp. It's by no means glorious, but works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it with two stanag metal ones aswell. I can stick the adaptor up on thingiverse if you want? I was trying to sell the mags pre built on ebay but i dont think theres any interest!

To be honest I was thinking about a triple ?, about 1k capacity, being metal mags I could cut the two outer mags down & spot them with my mig welder. Got some family & friends that recently showed an interest in having a go, be easier to send them out with a mega hi-cap & very lightweight loadout than decking them out in loads of mags & LCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjhirst Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) hah, yeah that would be cool. You lose a little capacity due to where the adaptor sits, but its negligible! I'll upload the files and leave a link here. I think this should be ok.

frontsight Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Hi all, Had a quick question for you engineers on this thread. Does anyone know where/how I can get machining work done to an aluminum slide? I can't seem to find any airsoft specific machine shops in the UK that do CNC/milling. Wondering if anyone here has tried something like this. I have a 7075 aluminum slide on my G18c and wanted to do some slide windows/ports as shown in the image. While the general concept is to have something that looks crude and homemade (done over the trades and such), I don't think a DIY job with hand tools would suffice; any reccomendations? I have no knowledge of working with metals and not even sure if milling is what I should be looking for.. Let me know what you think P.S. please don't mind my precision-engineered design example using Microsoft Powerpoint Edited March 12, 2022 by frontsight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to use a local CNC machining service. Looking at it now and it seems like it'll be ~£45. Now I just need to call them up and ask if they take powerpoint instead of CAD😂 Tactical Pith Helmet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badgerlicious Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) An open fronted mesh top for a summer leaf suit. This is going to get painted to get rid of the odd purple tones, then some larger netting on top and finally covered in leaves and what not. Nice and green and natural I hope. I'm also going to convert my dpm trousers into a leaf suit lower when I can bloody find them 🤬 Anyway, should be a fun build, and I can spend my summers in a vegetative state.
