Supporters Druid799 Posted January 15, 2021 Supporters Share Posted January 15, 2021 So the question to this vile bunch of reprobates, hornswagglers and generally dodgy characters is with absolutely zero chance of dumping your white load on random strangers and terrified youngsters in the near or foreseeable future due to the lockdown AND the mind numbing boredom that comes with it and the fact this level of boredom reduces your willpower to the tensile strength of a piece of wet Aldi value toilet paper what have you been spending money you haven’t got on ? and then instantly thinking “FFS am I off my head or what ?” the second the dispatched email arrived ? Me ? mine is a G&G AK GIMS . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted January 15, 2021 Supporters Share Posted January 15, 2021 Airsoft specifically hopefully getting a 1p67 at some point. Kinda toning down the airsoft spending this year methinks, lockdown 1 had me reshuffling my collection but now i'm pretty happy with what i've got, although granted that urge to tinker is gonna be rekindled about 30s into the first game when we can go play again.

DerDer Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 In terms of current projects, working on an RPK. Was going to fit a Jefftron leviathan but they seem to be taking their sweet time with the V3 so will probably end up fitting a Titan. Future project is an FN FAL. Planned on getting a King Arms, they are glacial with their re-release. In the meanwhile there is the looming VFC offering. Have no experience with GBB rifle so probably won't indulge.

Alimcd Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I’ve sold as many guns as I’ve bought. Collection has been fine-tuned to what actually suits my style Gone is a bit of a mish mash. In is a very Ali-focused collection of DMR, rifles, SMG and pistols oh and this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alxndrhll Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Another MWS is all I'm looking to pick up at this point. Very much regret selling the one I had, textbook case of not knowing what you have till it's gone. Alongside the constant ticking in my brain of whether I can really be bothered with HPA anymore or sell up that side of things and treat myself to that Zenitco GHK AK I've been eyeing for a while but can't justify unless I have a bit of a clearout. Decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impulse Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I've mostly been looking at unfinished projects and finishing them up; these two projects are leaf suit/chest rig/rifle wrap (not finished because I already have a webtex concealment vest based ghillie that works wonders, and my scrim net rifle wrap has been more than doing a sufficient job at camoing the rifle), and tweaking my spring VSR to bring the performance in line with the HPA one (not finished because I just used the HPA one all the time). I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything new until I've paid off my debts, so nothing has been bought and I didn't even renew my UKARA. Unlike the rest of you, my will is iron! With the VSRs, I think I've settled on my two builds as of today, as my springer is now quieter and running between 2.29 and 2.32J while my HPA setup I can just adjust to what I need and has always performed stupidly well. Looking forward to taking them out and seeing them perform at their peak once my local site reopens. The leaves are still to be finished as it takes ages! I've been colouring hundreds of leaves which I intend to use for a rifle wrap and also to craft onto my cheap Viper chest rig, because I'm not defacing my gucci Warrior Assault Systems one. If I have any left, which I really should because I have about 500 of them to colour, I'll craft them onto my NMG spring leaf suit that has been sitting in the wardrobe for ages because I typically prefer my lightweight webtex concealment vest based ghillies. The plan with the leaf suit is to stitch on some elastic loops like my webtex concealment vest ghillie has, as I've found that the artificial stuff is just there to compliment natural vegetation and I really like the elastic loop style over using new cable ties every game day. That being said, once the debts are gone (hopefully by summer), I want to get a Polarstar F2 engine for my TM m14 as I already have a tank, line and regulator. The plan is to run it as a silent semi-auto sniper rifle; will probably keep it at 1.1J as I don't think a 30m MED is worth it for 1.6J, but I'll basically use it the same way as I use my VSR now, just at 60 - 65m effective range instead of 70 - 75m. I think it will honestly be my best performing gun when it's all done, my airsoft magnum opus if you will, as no 30m MED is incredibly liberating and semi-auto is a lot faster than bolt action if needed.

Stratton Oakmont Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Bought back the only rif I regretted selling, just spent two hours with the joy of opening and closing a non quick release v3 gearbox 6 times and disassembling and reassembling a a Galil to find a spring from my box of random unmarked springs that will do 340 FPS. Nope no luck, 6 springs of varying length and compression and all too powerful. Probably why I took them out of various rifs in the first place!!! even better I just threw them back in the box without labelling them so i can go through the same routine again in the future (what a tool !!!).

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted January 16, 2021 Supporters Share Posted January 16, 2021 no spring labelling system can handle more than 3 springs. i used to use coloured cable ties but i ended up going "green, is green 1j, or sub 1j? is orange the right one? red is hot right?"
