Airsoft Discussion / Shot Show 2019
« on: March 27, 2019, 11:40:34 AM »
A month late to get into it, but what were your highlights? Things you liked/disliked? 2 things that I'm really looking forward to would be the new G&G Piranha, and the new TAG Co2 Shells.

The Brain Exploader mount works great for my Hero 5 Session, I would recommend getting the lends protector, or at least the warranty for your Hero4 if you can. With your battery you may be able to get 8 hours, but your card might fill up before that. If you can, you should consider getting an additional memory card. My 64GB states that it can record to 4 hours with those settings. As for battery packs, I bought the Milsim West Gopro external battery pouch with http://www.ebay.com/itm/401254410432?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This battery pack which fits perfectly. Although to get it to charge you do have to press a button so that's kinda annoying. I have yet to completely fill the memory card, or run out of battery, but I've also only done games that last 8 hours so that's my .02.

Accessories & Ammo / Looking For A Headset
« on: April 29, 2017, 10:56:34 PM »
I'm in the market for getting a radio headset/ear protection but I'm confused as to where I should be looking. What I'm looking for specifically:

1) Over the ear protection
2) Sound Amp
3) Helmet Rail attachment
4)Boom Mic

Where I'm running into issues is where I see problems with headsets where they don't have rail attachment availability, or the rail attachments are poor quality. Any help into the right direction would be very much appreciated!

My new VFC Scar L CQB that will (hopefully) be my main assault gun for tan team! Attached is a EOTech Replica holo sight and a Acetech AT1000 Tracer Unit. I am waiting on a VFC EGLM and when it arrives I'm looking into painting the gun two tone Tan/Black. Right now it's all stock but eventually I'm looking into upgrading for a tight bore barrel and motor.

I would be interested in hearing more about those pouches

Tech Questions / Converting a VFC Scar L STD to CQC
« on: April 07, 2017, 09:53:32 PM »
So I just noticed that the VFC Scar L CQC was now discontinued which is really unfortunate as that was what I was looking to get next. I see that the STD version is still there as well as a G&G version. My question being: assuming that I was going to get a tight bore barrel anyway, could I simply get a short inner barrel and outer barrel (I'm not sure what I would need to look for outer) and get the same thing right? Or is it not worth it and I should just get the G&G version?

Off Topic / Looking for a good read?

This section is dedicated to you book worms out there, and those of you who are looking for your next page turner. Post up some of your favorite books and give a small description about it!

I just finished White Star by James S Thayer. The story follows Owen Gray who was the world's best sniper with 96 confirmed kills. He had retired his rifle and attempts to pursue a career as an attorney and leave his days behind the scope in his past. Unbeknownst to him, a sniper from his past is tracking him down killing anyone within his vicinity in order to convince Grey to pick up his rifle again. Great military read!

And I've just started reading Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Great fantasy book for reading! As I haven't finished it yet, I'll just post up the jacket description, along with my 2 cents:
   "Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price–and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone… A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction—if they don’t kill each other first."

So far I'm really enjoying this book (part of a series)! It gives the feeling of the Italian Job with magic. Each character is very well thought out, and the book keeps you guessing about their plan page after page. Just when you think you've started to pick up on it, a twist happens and it keeps you enticed! Great Fantasy read!

What are some of your suggestions?

I believe these were back from when I started in '08-'09.


My first WMiA game with my JG Thunder Maul


and probably some backyard game with my G36k. Still rocking the Tiger Stripe, but I finally out grew the white yellow hair.

I've been looking at that Kriss AEG Vector as I don't have any CQB Guns (Well... any that are decent). I know the Vector is an iconic gun in the game, so that would be an interesting addition.

Also I found it funny that Ubisoft has created an "official" cosplay guide! http://tomclancy-thedivision.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/news/152-269653-16/the-division-cosplay-guide

Amazon Reviews appear to vary between person to person. Most likely it depends on the face shape of the wearer. The set that I own doesn't fog and is fairly comfortable. If you do buy these, I would say have a back up for worst case scenarios, and give them a test run.

I think I was watching some Revelations gameplay from Swamp Sniper that gave me the idea to look into the loadout! Such an interesting style of set up. Glad to see that other people have also considered making a similar loadout. I have a small sling bag that I would probably use, but I'm really interested in seeing what kind of bag you're using!
