Torn between CoolAF and Careful Now.  What sort of energy are we talking here?

Same as a normal tag shell. The co2 adapter is just a quick way to refil it between shots. Im not sure how doubling the barrel length will affect something like this but ill be running it over a chrono to compare when its built. The shells are designed to be the same weight as standard tag ones too. Ill probably lose a fair bit of pressure as 3d printed parts arent exactly air tight. Ideally id want something with about 2/3 of the velicity of a normal tag round. Regular ones are a bit spicy for me to risk using on bunkers and stuff

bought myself a new toy for Xmas and just trying out a few things. Still trying to get to grips with using a Laser Cutter/Engraver but it seems promising.

I picked up the 10W Elegoo Phecda for £185 from their website. it seems a bit pricier now at $385 but I'm sure it will go on sale again soon.

Got my Son a 3d printer for Christmas which is getting thrashed, I don't think it's stopped printing for a week now. Printed a few airsoft bits and bobs including this visor stock and a couple of odin adaptors.20240103_184656.thumb.jpg.1d44dc528483dc90d709abc710cb977a.jpg20240103_184630.thumb.jpg.bff03e1d0f33078ffceb953914b08397.jpg

Would anyone have the 3d print files for an Odin adaptor to fit an MP9?

I've looked in the usual places and can't find it. Obviously reluctant to buy a printed one when I could print it myself.

Found this M4 mag funnel on Printables. Fits like a dream.

Had a few things in the works over the past few months. First up: MG42 converted to MG3. Its probably 70% real steel parts nowadays. Its currently off getting HPA'd. *Really* excited to finally finish it. Had to pair up with a local guy who has a Wehrmacht kit and a MG42 for a quick photoshoot.

Next, converted one of my Real Sword Type 97s, the 97b in this case, to HPA. Had to make a custom nozzle with some help from Norwest Airsoft in the States.

Im slowly falling more and more for APS-shell shotguns, but hate dealing with shells. So sometimes I just use my Wargame Striker12, which contains spent shells. But for those days I prefer to use the 870, I found a biodegradable PLA material made from algae and am printing shells for that pretty constantly, whenever the printer isn't running on something else. They aren't very strong and tend to break after a few uses, but considering they cost a pence or two a shell, I don't really care.

Next, my 417 EPM-1S project is nearing completion. I thought I had it down with v5 (last worked on in July 2022) but when I broke my G27K out of storage I found that the mag was far too large, and required loosening my hop unit to feed - so that wouldn't do. v10 seems to be the magic number; it feeds even with my hop properly installed, and seems almost perfect. Just a few cosmetic things need sorted, like the positioning of the BB window.

Finally, this is an idea I've had for awhile but never got around to. I've wanted to make a Bundeswehr-accurate optic for my MG4, considering my only other option was finding a $1000+ Hensoldt 4x30i. Well, we've been snowed in here in the mountains for the past several days (and am about to be for several more) so I knocked this out in about 10 hours over the last two days. Its printing now, and if everything fits Ill send it off to be SLS'd. It uses real surplus Hensoldt 3x inserts meant for G36 optics, as the real one appears to - they're also pretty readily available which is good. It cannibalizes parts from a cheap G36 optic, including the G-36 style rail nuts, adjustment bolts and heat-sets, rail, rail bolts and heat-sets, and rubber view piece and forward scope retaining piece. Basically all one needs to make this optic is the files, the basic G-36 optic from your local airsoft shop, the three new crossbolts to attach it to the rail, and the Hensoldt insert.

Update on the MG4 optic: it works, and looks damn good on there. Even at 15% infill the PETG I used is very strong, and I was able to use it as a functional carry handle. Granted the MG4 is very light for a LMG and it’s currently empty, but still surprisingly it didn’t just crumble in half. I’ll probably sleep on the design and if I can’t find any faults with it tomorrow I’ll send for it to be printed in SLS for a “production” model.

A fairly productive weekend - a DPM sleeve to cover the red HPA hose that I've recently picked up, a couple of white medic arm bands made from an old T-shirt, A mini internal dump pouch to velcro inside of my chest rig pouch and to use for sorting out empty shot gun shells from full ones, and finally an el-cheapo hydration pack from aliexpress for my HPA bottle (turned up less than 5 days after ordering - a record!) sprayed up to tone it down a little.

I think that's a wife thing, 20 minutes tinkering with a gun & they get all whiney, but when they've got a project that requires all your waking hours, no issues then lol

Old bits of pouch, paracord and some time to kill = Knife Dangler to go along with the variety of (pretty basic) modifications I'm doing to my Viper Spec Ops Chest Rig to make it a little more "mine".

 

Its a bit rough and ready and this may yet evolve into something better looking, but as for now ....

A bridge to go across the stream at Red Alert. 

It has two flag holders, one on each hand rail, for capture the bridge games. 

I'll be making more, and other additions to the site. 

One is finished but I'm not allowed to show it till after this Sunday's battlesim 😉

I hope folks evolve to see that this kinda thing is absolutely up there in terms of what makes (or breaks) their games.

 

Once you get on to a field it is soooo obvious which sites have been maintaining structures and features/replacing stuff that's beyond repair vs ones that just let everything rot forever, tape it off and call that good.  Obviously this is not a big money industry so in some instances it's unavoidable or understandable, but since the last place I played had a fair few 'bridges' that were falling to bits and not safe I do enjoy seeing this a lot I have to say.
