The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Recommended Posts

Well, not really "bought" but my wife gave me one of these yesterday in Flectarn (along with a Viper hoody)...

... for my birthday and I'm a very happy husband 😄

 

However, does anyone have any idea what the huge double sided pocket is for on the lower back of it? (all I can think of is it may be for a heat-pad of some sort?).

@Monkman Is there a reason why you didn't buy it direct from Warhead Industries? (I ask as I'll probably be buying a standard speed one for a DMR I intend to build over Christmas).

And I can happily say the guys who run warhead are really nice friendly bunch , I know Ben and he’s a cracking bloke .

Can confirm, they fixed the broken contact on mine even though i made no secret that it was me being heavy-handed.

 

Damn good motors too, pickup speed is noticable even next to the likes of the asg cnc stuff.

Cant afford new, but really looking forward to receiving this FMA Team Wendy Exfil copy.. with headset for my earpro (seeing as TW sued FMA and won, but missing the point that this is not a counterfeit version but a homage, and not a safety helmet.. purely cosplay / airsoft / prop)  woot woot!

Thats stunning with the real wood grips.. I love me a 1911, I used to have a real one, I'm keen to get a few Airsoft versions, this TM looks amazing.

My HAO MK16 rail arrived recently to give me an option besides the MK18 rail on my MWS. To keep it company I've picked up a new PEQ15 and weapon light, some Blaster Devils and Geoffs SP .30s to see which I prefer, some MP7 mags and, because Ground Zero never chrono players and I don't want to be a dick with a hot gun, a chrono20210903_092910.thumb.jpg.84d8bf947e6fc3907f69863579691c11.jpg20210903_182609.thumb.jpg.75546c017e6febd80aa4a7c708505d32.jpg20210916_162702.thumb.jpg.93d6d307b8c333d0e761ae8170fe0dc2.jpg20210922_165314.thumb.jpg.bf12e012863c6f55ace49915db2584b8.jpg

They come with those scopes?  I've looked around at replicas before for a similar-ish use/build and there's a couple out there but very little info.

Unfortunately no , I’ve had that one for a good few years , and I thought the gun was screaming for for it !

A likely story.

How long have you been into airsoft and you only just got one...

...very suspicious 😏

I do already have a CA one that I’ve had for yrs but that’s painted up in a BHD/Blood diamond ‘scheme’ so not usable for all scenarios , so I just HAD to have another ! 😇

I was looking at that exact model yesterday, as I’ve just pissed my money away on something else I settled for the xm177 flash hider to change the look of my mws instead.

just need an a1 style gbb pistol grip and I can hide the sopmod picatinney foreend under rail covers and that’ll have to suffice as I’m not buying another rif for a while.

Well I finally decided to upgrade my case and get a wheeled nuprol one … seems pretty good 😊 👍

 

I also got another AW glock drum mag (so I can get sizes and 3d resin print the gear that’s missing in my original drum). Question anyone know what’s the extra pin is for in the box 🤷‍♂️
 

I also have a onetrigris pouch coming tomorrow 😎👍

SoI picked up a Nuprol Delta AK21. It's a very cool looking gun imo, with its real steel counterpart being very close to the ACR, both conceptually and visually is pretty cool. With the RIF version being based on an m4, it's easy to get parts for. Speaking of, it's not a gun I would recommend anyone run stock, the barrel was in a truly awful state. Much worse than any of my other guns that I hadn't cleaned for about a year. Fortunately I never planned to keep much of the internals, so a new barrel, while annoying that it's necessary, isn't so bad for me. I also got a prowin hop unit and a modify ryukoso flat hop rubber, which will be range and accuracy tested on sunday. But initially it all fits beautifully and the airseal upped my fps by 10. 

 

What I did buy this gun for are its externals, which are wonderful. It's heavy as hell, weighting about 3kgs by itself, being almost full metal, besides grip and stock. If it wasn't heavy enough, I also bought a Nuprol Phantom (Elcan repro) with a fixed 4x zoom, and it's a beautiful optic. Really clear, no perceptual loss of light. The adjustment dial is super stiff so I don't fear it moving at all. 600g though, so it adds a fair bit of weight. 

 

I plan to run this gun as a sneaky build for now, it'll probably end up being a DMR, or a <1.14j quiet build, probably ending up HPA'd at some point in its life. I'm pretty happy with the wrap job I've done, using a jack pyke 3D camo hat as a scope cover, with their tough tape and stealth tape to cover the gun. The true test will be on sunday though. My goal is to surprise a few people.

Haha, yeah I really wanna grab one of those at some point, just a big chunk of beautiful metal. I will say this rivals my ICS L86 in weight, if that gives some perspective.

I have plenty of lightweight guns like M4s and stuff that are about the weight of that. I also have an M249 Para that weighs even more. For perspective, 3kgs really isn't heavy.
