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.

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!

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?
« on: March 06, 2017, 09:03:10 AM »
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?

Digital Entertainment / The Division Loadout
« on: February 12, 2017, 02:03:54 AM »
Currently I am in between purchasing new camouflage as my premade harness will no longer work. It's going to be a while still I can save up for a bunch of new gear. So I was derping around trying to get a price list when the game "The Division" came to mind. I remembered that most weekend game have a "civilian/contact" team and until I get tax returns and purchase new gear, I could essentially be a Division Agent.



The gas mask could be pretty much any kind as in game they switch based on whatever one you equip, but as I am running around I believe that this would be a good one. It stated on the website that the straps help lock down the mask, and a bottom vent helps direct air away from visors.



You can find the patch just about anywhere for really cheap.



And lastly the watch and beacon. For the watch I found this one for $5 on Amazon



And the beacon I was able to find someone had posted up a 3D model for print, but I could probably make one similar.

After that it's all civilian clothes so I could be set! (At least until I get some decent new gear)

SPRING / Ares MS338 Bolt Issues
« on: January 31, 2017, 08:58:46 PM »
Finally after all the wait, I've received my Ares MS338... and ran into problems. Starting from the beginning, loading the mag. The gun came with a looong stick loader which has proved to be an issue when loading as the mag is pretty tight so I can only load half the stick at a time to get the force needed to load the mag.

When I finally got a full mag and began shooting, the second problem occurred. Contrary to popular belief, the feeding tube wasn't the issue. It was the trigger box that (I believe) is the problem. The trigger is really loose, (can push to the left) and I fear is causing the sears to not engage, which is preventing the bolt from catching. I'm going to attempt to tighten it down, as my biggest fear would be having to replace A BRAND NEW gun part! It's looking to be a $117 replacement for the trigger unit and I've already spent a lot on this.

Unless someone else have a suggestion?

Accessories & Ammo / Anti-Cant Device
« on: January 27, 2017, 09:18:11 AM »
I have been looking for a behind the scope "rail mount" bubble level (anti-cant device), however the only one I can find seems to be this one: http://www.operationparts.com/knights-armament-picatinny-rail-mount-anti-cant-device/ But that $70 price tag seems way too much for such a small device. I'm pretty adamant about one that is rail mount, that way I can attach it underneath my scope instead of off to the side. Scope mounts I don't think will work with my scope version. I'm considered getting a simple magnet back for 1/10th of the price and hoping for the best, but I'm wondering if any of you know of a cheaper version of this?

Newbie Discussion / Ghillie Help
« on: January 26, 2017, 01:27:40 PM »
My current ghillie suit that I'm running is your stereotypical walking bush which as you can imagine is quite problematic for assaults, and I'm looking something more mobile friendly. I found a suit that I feel will work well, however I am unsure of the color that I would need for the playing fields. For those of you who have been to the fields, which color would work better based on foliage and leaves? More brown or green?


(Or should I just say eh to it all and get the edgy black?   ;D )
