Today I spent about 5 hours gluing some net to some trousers and then tying some halo screen to said net. It'll be hard to say exactly how it'll blend until this weekend, though it's a summer ghillie so it's probably too green right now. Still, really happy with how it's looking. It should help me lie in weird spots and not be seen ?

Needed to knock up a couple more goggle fan units and a simplified goggle-strap clip to mount a Poundland £1 powerbank.

 

 

Total all-in cost, including the powerbanks ~£4 each.

 

The earlier prototypes seem to work pretty well, but I need to stress-test over the summer when it's really hot and sweaty.

 

Thinking of a dual-fan version with airflow guide vanes to direct the air over a wider area

Totally changed design of some retention bungees I made a year or so ago.  These can be used for cables, slings etc. Have a bit of adjustability too.  I know you can use rubber bands, ranger bands etc.  But since when do us Airsofters go with the simplest or cheapest solution? Haha

I made a couple of sight plates for the TM FNX to make it possible to fit a sight other than the crappy TM red

dot.

 

One for me, one for @MagpieTactical

And much appreciated it is. This is one of the things that makes airsoft great, the helpfulness of its members.

That's pretty cool, wire coat hanger inside to give it a wee bit of stiffness ?

I saw some cheap WE AK mags online so bought them, thinking id try to hpa hicap them.

Turned out ok! slightly trickier than an m4 set up though.

Just need an AK now lol

Not made as such, just playing with paint job ideas on a spare handguard

What's your opinion on the clone Romeo 3.  I got one a couple of years ago, and none of the wind age and elevation adjusters work, but tbh I can just point shoot and walk the aeg BBs onto target.

Everything works, parallax error is very low, it’s very nice

[MagpieTactical]

Improved them since I got mine then, or possibly just a result of the mixed quality lottery of buying off aliexpress haha

Second I reckon, I’ve had a few over the last 3 or 4 years and all have been excellent 

[MagpieTactical]

Yeah my Romeo 4 is pretty good, and I wondered if it was an out of the warehouse job on a Friday afternoon

An update on the TAC 41 chassis

[Speedbird_666]

Seems like the real-steel-mall-ninja-cool-kids stateside are making 'NV' height optics a 'thing', especially after the former DEVGRU guys at GBRS Group have been extolling the virtues of 'heads up' shooting in CQB to maintain situational awareness.

 

Thought I give it a go - I dub thee the 'tower-block' riser:

 

Yes, it looks ridiculous. But they might be onto something. It feels very natural and works much better with Paintball goggles in the Airsoft context.

 

This was the initial inspiration for 'going high':

With the caveat that I'm forever blasting the barricade because of sight-over-bore issues, for dynamic close range shooting, it does make a lot of sense.  Keep the toy level at chest height and you'll hit a chest height - the sights are more for righty-lefty.
