The 'What have you just bought' Thread

1911s look awesome anyway, but I have to say the phots @Impulseposted are tremendous.

Few upgrades from AK2M4, delivered next day as promised.  Perun and XT 22TPA for the boy's G36.  Another XT 22TPA, plus a ZCI hop unit and ML bucking for my Double Eagle. 

.

 

Had a few mins spare tonight, so out with the old motor from the Double Eagle...

 

...and in with the new

 

Not a night and day difference over the stock motor, I stupidly didn't do a direct before and after comparison but the trigger response is a bit quicker.   Suspect they are both in the same ballpark windings wise.  Magnets on the stock motor are no match for the new XT though.  Expect it will prove itself when I run it on 3S instead of my current 2S.

Here’s hoping. The vented can and mini fan on the commutator should work nicely seeing as the Eagle has that vented motor plate for airflow. 
 

And if it doesn’t I’ll have a nice hand warmer for winter skirmishes.

It's been a long time coming,  But I bought what I consider my holy grail of guns since I first started back in 2016.

 

Daytona AK105 with my WE Desert Eagle,  ran it at my local CQB site,  they may not be what people consider Meta but god damn is it fun firing these two guns

Nice little drop from impulse101, parcelforceworldwide can go screw themselves though

[C-Diddy]

Nice little delivery from JK Army. Now to rebuild the v.1 GM mags with the v.2 kits...oh, and another mag for good measure.

It's funny, because it's true.

 

 

 

 

Side note - when I was younger and I got my first credit card, I managed to rack up £27k of credit card debt. You know you have a problem when the letters from the CC company stop being "you've gone a bit over your limit, so we raised it", to "you've gone over your credit limit, GIVE US BACK OUR MONEY!!!!". Fun times.

Indeed.  And just to add more comedic value, the precise moment the video stopped playing, the postman stuffed envelopes through my letterbox.

Yeah, you guessed it... the credit card bills

I ditched my credit card years ago, pre-airsoft addiction. As I'm looking to improve my comms game, may be time to rethink 🤔😂

They really do have our best interests at heart, don't they?

 

 

And as I was typing that message, UPS dropped this off. Irony.

 

And yes, I'm quite prepared for all the Novritsch hate and for how the unit is flimsy af compared to Exfog, etc, etc. I just want to be able to see! 

[Jacob Wright]

More ShadowFoam arrived! Just have to figure out how best to cut it so that I can fit both rifles and the Glock in there!

Mines been great actually. In actual fact, that type of goggle (Pyramex are the OEM) do amazingly well on their own for fogging, but the Novritsch antifog thingy has worked superbly for e.g. CQB, and the magnetic interface between the goggle insert and the tubes works really well.

That's good to hear! I'm an absolute sweat monster, even before I begin, and it seems my son is following suit. 

 

I've used my issued Sawfly, Bolle glasses and goggles and currently use Bloc, all of which fog, so this was a desperate gamble 😂

 

I'm sure you've seen the YouTube vids (especially the Exfog dude getting massively emotional!) highlighting the flimsy case, but my sone will wear his in a pouch on his helmet, and I'm going to botch fit some sort of pouch (tape and cable ties probably) to my boonie. 

 

Appreciate the feedback on the mag connector too, as I was a little dubious.

Yep - i think actually, the current batch have been reinforced following feedback, so you are probably ok. I keep on meaning to put some velcro and a patch on the back of mine to reinforce it, but never got round to it. Just take care when using the supplied punch to make the hole at the top of the goggles - that you both get it in the right location (i tried to get it as close to the lens as i could for comfort), and that you don't scratch the lense. Masking tape to protect the lens and a wooden block under the rubber goggle surround to elevate it/give a firm surface against which to hammer the punch through worked for me.

Just take care when using the supplied punch to make the hole at the top of the goggles - that you both get it in the right location (i tried to get it as close to the lens as i could for comfort), and that you don't scratch the lense.

Thanks buddy. That's the only bit that concerns me as I'm as subtle as rhino when it comes to using a hammer! 

 

**update** It went surprisingly well, considering the supplied punch is about as much use as tits on a fish. Now I just need to find a couple of counterweight pouches, and a battery pouch I can bodge onto a boonie.
