Supporters TheFull9 Posted April 3 Supporters Share Posted April 3 All thoroughly wrapped by Fire Support (surprisingly). I was looking to enhance my E&C M16 somewhat and was expecting the G&P stuff to be a lot nicer as their full M4/M16s from back in the day were overall nicer externally, but where the G&P bits turned out a cut above in a lot of areas, they also fell short in a few as well and on balance I couldn't/didn't choose to use most of the front end stuff. As an example, the 203 handguard has a much more realistic leaf sight than an E&C equivalent and maybe slightly better plastic but it's completely missing the metal inner heatshield (which the E&C has). Oh and don't buy an LCT Crane stock.. holy shit literally the worst quality plastic airsoft accessory I've ever touched 😂 Suuuper thin and awful plastic, sharp, pathetically lightweight, shiny and poorly fit with the side compartment caps barely held in place. The other stock is an ASG which lacks the QD sling mount but the plastic is matt, thick and sturdy; pretty damn close in composition to a real B5 SOPMOD. While I'm not their biggest fan admittedly, you just can't deny Helikon stuff especially the more recent lol. The cap is weirdly small but the (stupidly named) trousers are just stupidly good; got given another pair in green about 5-6 years ago and wear them absolutely constantly yet they still look new, so had to go for a 2nd set. gavinkempsell, Lozart and Jacob Wright 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 After 6ish years of use, my Crispi Boots started to fall apart, they became ultra rigid, lost all the grip, can't be resoled.. Gore-Tex membrane is still okay but they're not suitable for my needs anymore. So I bought these La Sportiva ones, Ultra Raptor II model: Hopefully they'll be comfortable and last a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a starting pistol on steroids 😂 I'm not sure about it but there is a sort of chunkiness and 'i mean business' look to it. I wouldn't be out of the running if one came my way. What is it?

Nice to see another mateba owner here in the UK. I have two matebas of my own, but I have yet to field them yet (one is the 8mm ghost in the shell collector version, so will never leave the house, the other is 6mm calibre 5 inch barrel version, but I dont have a holster for it yet) Skullchewer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
