Impulse Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 I had a bunch of stuff sitting around, so I decided to do something with it, though I'm not great at actually crafting suits; using them, yes, but not crafting them! It'll do until I can afford to splash out on a Sprinter Custom Ghillie... Webtex concealment vest with a bunch of Novritsch ghillie stuff attached. I wanted to do this rather than attaching all the stuff to a leaf suit because I don't have any ghillie'd up gear and I don't particularly want to experiment with my gucci Warrior Assault System gear. This I can wear over my belt kit so it doesn't matter. Badgerlicious 1
RostokMcSpoons Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) @Enid_Puceflange That's a pretty good idea... I've got a cheapo chrono coming from that there China in a couple of weeks, might be tempted to do something similar. What's the 200m of string look like inside? I'm curious! I would have just loosely balled up a scrim scarf and had that there. Edited December 4, 2021 by RostokMcSpoons

I'm not so sure. Looking at the internals the bolt face is tiny because of the top strap going through the slide. That area is where the blowback unit would be and there simply isn't space. We might see a non blowback one but I don't think a gbb one will show up

We might see a non blowback one but I don't think a gbb one will show up i dunno, the gap behind the bolt face seems to be primarily the result of using the top mounted hammer (same idea as the hole in an AR bolt) i'd assume an airsoft version would be using a concealed hammer- similar to how glocks are setup, so that space could be used for a BBU as the hammer doesn't need to strike the chamber area. wether that can be packed into the gap between the grip and mag ofc is a different story.

I believe the hammer is part of it but that top strap also hooks in at the back so the slide is recoiling around it. So the part of the top strap will be in that gap if I am seeing it properly.

Other than that I think most other manufacturers either wouldn't bother or would go with a non blowback.

Supporters Popular Post TheFull9 Posted December 24, 2021 Supporters Popular Post Posted December 24, 2021 I had this plan to put perforated fake plates in a Crye mairitime JPC to make the holy grail of PC that actually wouldn't be very hot/sweaty in summer, so I bought some hollow plastic medium SAPI dummies aaaaages ago and through sheer fuckin laziness I never got around to doing what I wanted with them until this week. Tried just using a knife and mk1 hand first but being about 4mm thick and 'sticky' when cutting I could tell I was going to lose a finger if I proceeded, so I swapped to a holesaw + electric drill. End result has the solid edges/outline needed to fill out any PC and looks exactly like a proper plate when inserted, but it weighs almost nothing and has just enough rigidity in the middle to support everything. I'm already working on a connect-4 meme never fear. Enid_Puceflange, Druid799, GothicGhost and 2 others 1 1 3
