Thread Topic:
Ever make a really dumb airsoft purchase that was literally a waste of money? Snipers, snowflake guns, mystery boxes, shitty clone equipment, there seems to be plenty of shit out there made to become money sinkholes.
Don't forget about the loadout thread. Good place to dump all the gear pics you don't have a better place for.

>Ever make a really dumb airsoft purchase that was literally a waste of money?
WE M14 without a doubt ( >>1266104
). Needs a $200 upgrade out of the box, inaccurate, mags are expensive, and upgrades are expensive and are only made by one company. At least I didn't pay full price for it.
Still love the thing though and I have a couple more mags for it coming in, and I might possibly pick up two more next week.
Hi guys,
Just bought a new GBB magazine for my M1911. But it doesn't seem to load up on Gas. I push the bottle all the way in and nothing. I pull it out just the slightest and I can hear the faintest whistling, but I'm not sure if gas is actually going into the magazine or not. Is there something I have to do to this mag to make it more refillable? At the moment I gas it for about a minute and I only get about 8 shots out of it.
My other mag, I push the can in and I hear a lot of whistling and gas coming out but it gets fully filled.
>>1272671
How long do you gas it up for? Any cold spots on the mag when you gas it up?
I remember my first GBB was a KWC Desert Eagle and I sold the thing because I thought it was broken when I was just filling the mags wrong.
>>1272673
Thanks for fast response!
I do it for ages, but it honestly feels like nothing is happening. On my previous mag, I can feel it getting colder, but this one, the temp doesn't change at all.
I shake the can and hold it facing down into the mag. Push it all the way in and I hear nothing.
Had a fun game yesterday.
Me on the left.
How does the chat link work?
>>1272606
It's a new permanent feature mate
How much does a quality HPA tank and regulator cost? And I mean refilling, maintenance and shit.
I've been meaning to try HPA ever since I had first gearbox trouble, but HPA engines being a bit expensive, I want to start with my sidearm. I'd probably want a bigger tank, I have place to store it on my back.
Thread topic:
I kind of regret getting into 40mm CO2 gas grenades. Airsoft pyrotechnics seem to be getting better and better and those TAG grenades might be worth the money in near future.

Probably a bunch of repro slav gear, bought Defender 2 and K6-3 replica just to find out it's not necessary for the local airsoft scene which is full of casuals and we're nowhere close to doing proper milsims.

make sure to wear a combat shirt which you tuck into your trousers to accentuate your fupa.
buy an AR-15 replica, don't forget to get every single attachment - leave no railspace unused!
no real gear for you, just airsoft clones.
>>1272902
nice projecting and delusion mate
>>1272910
wear full gear,get the biggest heaviest primary you can think of and dual wield your sidearm,also get a backup weapon just in case
run around in games everyday until you become a toy rooty tooty warrior
If I think my AR carbine is already slightly front-heavy, how much front-heavier would it become with some manner of M203 attachment?
>>1273023
the best way of it is to distribute the weight across,since carbines are shorter they should be less taxing on you,but yeah you're going to feel it being more front heavy
>>1273023
AR is a better suited platform, but any attempts at attaching a GL on my G36 made it front heavy as fuck.
Once I go back home I'll try attaching a pistol GL, but I need somebody to make a fucking RIS-to-RIS or nig rig one myself out of AR handles or whatever.

0,8l/3000psi tank costs about 50-60$. Larger and lighter tanks can cost up to 200$. Regulators run for around 100-150$. Remote lines cost about 20$. Plugs and lubrication don't cost much.

The only thing I've ever felt was a hugely objective waste of money was low quality ACM repro gear or rifle externals that break like shit when I sneeze on them. That and APS anything but I have never spent money on it, just worked with it.
How many thousand dollarinos have you guys spent on airshit this month? The guys and I are putting in a bulk order for 10 TM MWS at cost, and I'm finishing a couple personal DSG and DMR builds on the side. Just have to wait for the fucking retroarms gearbox i ordered to get here. Might pick up a couple kydex grenade clips, too, they look cute.
What are good M4 midcaps?
>>1273567
Official PMAG repros, G&G, MAG are all top tier and popular. I've enjoyed my Dytac 120rd midcaps just fine, too.
Try to brand match your gun with your mags if you are a noob and not familiar with tuning guns though. If you haven't altered any of the relevant parts (hopup unit, nozzle, gearbox shell, tapett plate, receivers) a straight brand-match between guns and mags should be best.

It's an Echo 1 MTC 2, no mods
>>1273595
ah, shit. I am not familiar with the Echo 1 preferred spec, so I'm not positive what mags will work with your spacegun.
try to see if you can test friends' mags out before buying, but you would probably find MAG to be a safe bet. they're also fairly cheap. basically every mag can be made to work in every gun, but it just takes some work, and I won't assume everyone has the skill nor time for that.
>>1273629
I'll try them out, thanks

>>1273919
Shooting other people for fun can be a little bit messy if done using real guns.
>>1273919
If I could buy an AR-15 without any special paperwork or licensing, just showing ID and filling out a background check like in the US, I fucking would and not give airsoft a second glance.
>>1273683
I don't like tan or FDE on guns to be honest famicom.
>>1273072
I think that's because the G36 is way lighter than an AR
>>1274011
I'm not bloodthirsty enough to look for reasons to shoot at other people, but I do know some very good deals for decent firearms in the US, the S&W 5906 is viewed as "obsolete", with the boom of the Glock and it's imitators, so you can get a very good all steel pistol for 400 or less.
Shame that nobody makes a GBB of it, it'd be a very sweet gun to have.

>Ever make a really dumb airsoft purchase that was literally a waste of money?
Yes, a long time ago, before these generals existed I bought a King Arms FAL on recommendation from someone on here.
Dealing with their service was annoying and bothersome, they told me batteries would fit in the RIS I bought when it fucking didn't in the slightest, the thing was heavy (though that's an FAL to you), and I'm pretty sure the trigger broke itself. The magazines were very inconsistent in their feeding. Sometimes it'd discharge several times in a row without having loaded a BB once.
Another was a Marushin "M1" Carbine with an identity crisis. It felt great, but it was in reality very flimsy and you're apparently not supposed to shoot them, gradually falling apart in my hands. Marushin apparently only made one magazine per gun, because it's cunting impossible to find a place that stocks them (or was at the time, I don't know if it changed, probably not).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6fiG60CBWE
fuck i need one
>>1274267
Someone knows, King Arms anything is shit.
>>1273919
Yeah you could get a Saturday night special .25 or a High Point for that, but those are absolute garbage guns.
>>1274184
They're apparently making a 971 too, but I haven't heard much about that since like last year.
What brand of magazines are compatible with open bolt WE brand GBBs?
I kinda wanna pick up some PMags and some classic bright aluminum looking ones.
I see G&P and GHK magazines on sites, but I'm not fully sure if my gun will take them or if it'll work.
On some of them, it looks like the BB feed, gas button, and rubber gasket would line up, looks similar enough compared to the ones I'm looking at, but it lacks a few bobs and bits.
>>1274368
Hi-Points are surprisingly decent for their price, they beat the shit out of all the other handguns in the same price-class, hard to break, usually goes bang, and good customer service.
Considering that everything else for a similar price is a brittle mousegun that's sometimes a deathtrap, I think they're passable.
>>1274379
>they beat the shit out of all the other handguns in the same price-class
I didn't know there was anything else that cheap.
>>1274431
Mainly cheap cast alloy .25 and .22 blowbacks.
>>1274379
WE rifles only work with WE mags.
If I fill a mock silencer with enough foam/insulation. How quiet will it make a GBB pistol?
>>1274466
To the point it makes effectively no sound from emissions.
>>1274431
Mostly chintzy potmetal (zamak) blowback guns in small calibers like .22LR, .25ACP, .32ACP and sometimes .380ACP, while .380ACP cuts the mustard as a defensive weapon, the other ones are kind iffy at best.
Now, while Hi-Points are made from similar kinds of potmetals (zamak), they have the sense to build it thick in dimensions, and to reinforce the castings with steel plates, and are more sensibly designed (from a mechanical standpoint).
In it's price class, Hi-Point is basically the only pistol that's actually good, the other ones being really horrible and awful (tiny calibers, magazines that can't be loaded fully, dangerous safeties, VERY brittle built quality, a lifespan of roughly 100 rounds), and I can respect that they've managed to come out with a product range that's pretty good for the kind of money they go for, their competitors churn out unsafe junk to make a quick buck, while Hi-Point puts out a good (enough) product for a competitive price, this is why Hi-Point are the rightful kings of the low budget pistol/carbine market
One of the reasons they can do this is that they strike up deals with various manufacturing plants in their area, where they can get their zamak casting done much cheaper, taking advantage of local industry to keep the cost down on their products.
I mean, the guns themselves aren't that amazing, but the circumstances of them and that they're as good as they are for their price, that's what's amazing. Also their founder died recently, RIP.
>>1274461
You sure about that? I sometimes see other brand magazines with the description that they're compatible with WE rifles
>>1274529
Alright, go look at we mags and a G&P woc PMAG.
For starters the lips are different.
I have owned a WE Scar, have plenty of experience with the M4's, owned a WOCx and seen LM4's.
WOC's are based on WA system gbbr m4, which some brands (VFC, Inokatsu, ViperTech and GHK) have based it upon too. While most of their mags can be used in other platforms and viceversa it WILL require modding the mags and maybe unusable in their original platform.
WE is a WE original platform. They don't share shit with the others. Best thing? They DO offer a PMAG, sell the shells (similar to pmags) to convert your og stangs into one AND they're almost half price than the other brands in mag price. You'd rather pay $60+ for a mag or $30 ish?

Sure, claymores are a great way to keep your back covered, and on large fields where you can maneuver make ambushes a real riot.
>>1274698
I prefer those mines that spout water or powder.
>>1274698
I once ambushed a vehicle so yeah traps can be advantageous in a game
>>1274698
I've always wanted to try something like claymores but I'm afraid someone will just pick it up and keep it if I don't watch it.

Mine friend had his thunder-b core stolen after throwing it, I would be apprehensive too bro.

Use the desire to spend hard earned cash on chinese pot metal rooty tootys by rewarding yourself every 5 lbs. Buy gun to start. By the time evike ships you can probably lose 5 or more pounds. Then treat yourself to an attachment. Rinse and repeat until you're slim enough to reward yourself with gear that fits.

>>1275018
Can't see shit easily through the bucket helm, frustrating to run around with, and you'll still need eyepro that will fog up on you with the air enclosed in your bucket.

So. GHK AKs. How into maintenance? I opened mine up and theres so little moving parts I dont even know where to begin and Nuprol Im using seemed to lube everything up either way. Its been lying for two weeks now since the last game and I occasionaly dry fire it.
>>1275197
Put a little bit of oil on every part that moves in contact with something else (bolt, trigger group, etc), lube up any o-rings with pure silicone oil, and if you're using propane then put a drop of pure silicone oil in your adapter before you gas your mags up. Keep petroleum based oils and lubricants away from plastic and rubber parts as it can dry out and crack things like your nozzle and o-rings.
Every now and then you could probably also rub down the external metal parts with some gun oil like CLP to prevent rust and add a protective layer
>>1275217
Alright sounds simple enough. Any particular oil should I use or anything I can get in an asg shop?
>>1275238
As long as it's pure silicone. Evike has a 200ml can of the stuff for like $5, but it's a pressurized.
Either way it's coming in this week so we'll see how well it works.
>>1275245

I'm looking into buying my first gun after playing for a year or so renting and it's gotten way to expensive renting every time. I really like filling a support role so I was looking at DMR rifles and SAW's, but I don't want to be restricted to just forest/long range airsoft fields by my gun. If I want to have a gun I can take to any field and play with it, should I invest in an AEG?

So its getting pretty hot here and with 20C+ temperatures my slavsuit is slowly starting to melt me. What would be some get ups similiar to Rhodie ones that would be easy and cheap to get? Preferably something camo but plain green is okay too.
>>1275420
Soviet Afghan War, Gulf War, or just don't give a damn about kits and just run what you want.
>>1275424
No I meant more as in where to look for something that is similiar to Rhodie get up as in short and short sleeved shirt as I havent been able to find anything here in kurwaland. I shouldve specified I meant yurop.
So is Well MP7 Hop-up just for show or does it actually do jack-shit on pellets lighter than 0.20g?
Not that it matters, I bought it for fun and as a CQB sidearm, but it wouldn't hurt to squeeze some performance out of it. I know most of the internals are specific to MP7 and the best upgrade is getting a Tokyo Marui one, but still.
>>1275439
The bucking is probably just a very shitty one.
>>1275445
I think it's propietrary, so yeah - more trouble than worth in changing it. If I get any funny ideas I'll buy a Cyma MP5K. Easier to come-by magazines, standard insides, non-shit FPS, MP7 will be for plinking and CQB-back-up.
>>1275427
You could buy OD cargo pants and wear short sleeve bdu shirt or a combat shirt.
>>1275548
Good idea but then again Id rather get something surplus because I currently dont have the dosh necessary. Also I dont want to be another multifag and those are the cheapest combat shirts Ive seen around
>>1275439
http://www.airsoftatlanta.com/Firefly-Hop-Up-Bucking-for-AEP-Soft-p/63324.htm
A bit pricey but they're probably better than your stock bucking.

It's just that specific field that has that issue because the guys running the place only care about lining their pockets. They've always had shitsofters like those guys frequent their fields yet they still let them in. We've had more than three dudes over the year put up videos of overshooting in that place alone. Actually, the recent guy is in the same team as one of them (Team MIA).

I live in Europe and most of the people with that type of attitude issues are in their late teens or early twenties. Kids here don't have enough money to build that type of guns on either platform.
>>1275790
smacking as in given a lesson,not as in physically hitting them
>>1274695
Shit, I'm in north west
>>1275796
I'm not arguing that AEGs can't be upgraded to HPA levels, I'm arguing that American airsoft would be in better shape if it had some sort of age restriction.
>>1275797
Oh, you want to "teach them a lesson"? Get the fuck away from children you creepy violent pedophile.
>>1275806
what
>>1275806
Dat moral highground though.
>>1275796
I'd say you Europeans don't have this much of an issue not only because of 18+ age restrictions, but the fact that parents think twice about spending their disposable income on an HPA system for their kid to go their local airsoft field/babysitting service. Your taxes there minimize this kind of shit happening.
>>1275805
Well that's not very relevant to the argument about whether or not HPA platforms should be age restricted. If anything gun energy and rof should be age restricted.
>>1275831
Nah senpai, not HPA, airsoft in general
Seeing as the bolt is only 275
I have a major urge to get a bolt action,do it up as a hunting rifle and run as a civilian fighter and murder both tan and green from 250+ feet
>>1275691
For what purpose
>>1275852
>There should be a rule that you have to be 21+ to use a Polarstar
This is the claim we are arguing here. Should kids be allowed to use PolarStars?
>>1275587
Thing is I dont have a PC because I hate those. I only have a belt with two double AK mag pouches and a dump pouch. Im on of those who dont want to look /fa/ on the field. I have a chest rig that I could use though. Ill think about this thanks.
>>1275831
Kids in general will abuse things more if they're more accessible because they haven't been alive long enough to have adult mentalities, especially in this coddling culture. Alcohol is a good example.
>>1275909
Coming from paintball, I've adopted the mindset that PCs are for pussies who don't want their nipples shot out. Even if they serve a practical purpose in airsoft, that kind of thinking somewhat glides in my brain sometimes. A field jacket and an equipment belt is what I'd only use, but a chest rig wouldn't be an issue for me if I needed to.
>>1275927
chest rig best rig
>>1275927
I hate PCs because whenever I see someone with one its a faggot with gorrilion useless pouches and other random shit of which hes maybe using 2 for mags and thats it. Of course hes always in multiglam and the funniest thing Ive noticed last week - normal eyepro and goggles on the helmet fo extra /fa/. God I hate those people.
>>1275691
What's the issue here. The RPS? Because if the field doesn't have a RPS limit he's technically doing nothing illegal, even if he's clearly an asshole for other reasons.
>>1275909
>dont want to look /fa/ on the field
Nothing /fa/ncy about using a pc if you ask me, not anymore anyways. Most people use it for convenience.
>>1275927
>PCs are for pussies who don't want their nipples shot out
People ACTUALLY carrying stuff like camelbags, HPA tanks, a dozen mags, etc would disagree with you. I used to think pc users were only tryhards then I started using one myself and never looked back.
And honestly, as someone whose nipples have been shot a few times, a pc is a welcome addition.
>>1275990
Overshooting. You can play responsibly even with high RPS, but that video is far from it.
>>1275927
>>1275909
I use a PC for larger events. Carries my mags, IFAK, utility tools, hydro bladder, and radio.
And there's nothing wrong with having goggles on your helmet, especially if you're doing an impression. It's extremely common for contemporary looks due to sand in the middle east.
>>1276024
I did say
> Even if they serve a practical purpose in airsoft
>>1276038
Meh, you can play responsibly and still deal with idiots that claim you are overshooting. Even in semi-auto.
>>1276158
Defining overshooting is hard. I go sure with my M14 DMR (450 FPS), and shoot manual double bursts always. If they are close, I don't think overshooting is an issue with a 200FPS CM-030 glock, when I do 7-8 round bursts aiming to body.
>>1276207
>Defining overshooting is hard
Definitely. Overshooting is totally subjective which leads to problems of all kinds constantly.
I'm a fervent defender of overshooting and headshooting because both of those things encourage people to claim their hits like they are supposed to. All done in a mature and adult way, of course.
Ironically enough I don't overshoot and most of the time after I shoot and I'm positive I did hit someone, I wait to see the reaction before shooting again.
>>1276233
I agree. In some fields it's enough that you're confident you hit someone, but in other ones you have to follow the ''shoot until orange'' -code.
What are the benefits of an angled grip over a vertical one?
And is there an adjustable grip that can be used both ways, just like bipod-grips are a thing?
>>1276245
Ergonomy. Try which one works for you. Yes there are vertical grips which can be folded or set to an angle.
>>1276245
Just the way you would hold it and the rifle. Angled grips encourage a c-clamp, thumb over bore type grip on your rifle.
>>1272891
What are those D-rings on knees for, with one with cord? Are they some sort of ghetto slavic knee pad holders?
>>1276245
>What are the benefits of an angled grip over a vertical one?
+5 accuracy
+1 range
Just get what fits you best, try one chink magpul replicas are dirt cheap. I wouldn't recommend the adjustable ones, they are disgusting
>>1276312
They are for keeping kneepads in the knees instead of in the ankles
>>1273748
horryshit
>>1276323
So basically ghetto slavic kneepad holders. Can't say I've used those, but they seem kind of wonky though, compared to what I've seen used in the west, with those fancy RAID BDUs.
>>1275741
My field regulates DSGs just like P*/SMP builds, so yeah.
>>1275374
Thanks, but I was more worried about not being able to use a SAW or DMR in some CQC fields. I would imagine I might not be allowed to use a full auto SAW in a CQC area.
>>1275427
Well you could get a replica Denison Smock or maybe Belgian M56, and one of these https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/rhodesian-fereday-sons-chestrig-repro/13922?q=rhodesian
>>1273567
King arms, pts p mag or e mags ( stay away from ares ) hexmag, MAG.
Has anyone try elite force mags?
If so what gun?
>>1275927
I wear PCs for the look. In hot weather its belt rig all day erry day
>>1276245
If you don't understand the concept don't get one unless you're a Tryhard.
>>1276582
>implying anyone can understand the concept without trying one
Talk about tryhard lmao
>>1276548
Have a set EF M4 midcaps
They've been run in
2x m249 in emergencys
A tavor
Valken m4 with both the stock and a prowin hop up
Classic army m4
After breaking them in and keeping them lubed they feed great
>>1276600
>lubing mags
>>1276613
Well theyre not gonna feel that great if you try to put them in dry.
>>1276617
Had minor double feed issues till they worked themselves out
>>1276640
That's stuff I need to know.
Don't skip out on these details m80.
>to lube or not to lube
Herewego
>>1276621
Lube is only going to fuck up your accuracy. If you're using good bbs and good mags, you shouldn't have feeding problems whether or not you're using lube. Even cheap mags can be good as proven by Cyma. If you suddenly get feeding issues, you're probably using bad bbs, have rubbish in your mags or have killed the spring in your mag.
>>1276650
>>1276640
Double feeding is caused by the fact that your hop up chamber is able to move. Then your nozzle isn't far enough in the chamber to block the passage of following bb.
It's also possible that the bucking and chamber are way too loose and the bbs are able to almost freely pass through the lips of the bucking until the contact patch catches them.
>>1276942
usually when i find a particularly annoying one
i mean kids are supposed to be arrogrant and dumb,they're still learning and shit and you shouldn't discourage them for trying airsoft as a hobby
but when you find a little son of a bitch who refuse to even listen,act bratty and scream and whine then you have to take action
why does evike have so many discontinued airsoft guns on their site? Each category of gun has like 2 pages of discontinued guns
>>1277108
No idea honestly. AirsoftGI is the same exact way so I can only assume they just don't care or are expecting them to come back into production/export again but the time is too long to have them on pre-order.
>>1277108
They're fags like 90% of all other airsoft retailers
Post your gats, fellow autists.
Bonus points for anything WW2.
>>1277464
That's a fucking sexy Sten
>An import permit/license is required to ship to your country
Well then go fuck yourself Evike, I don't need that shit when ordering from other sites you fucking cucks.
>>1277640
why are you ordering from evike in the first place?
I moved to Canada from the US and have only bought hobbyking batteries because the facerape taxes and fees still end up being way cheaper for high-end quality lipos.
>>1277464
Ayyyyyyy
>>1277676
>why are you ordering from evike in the first place?
Because they are one of the few sites who actually have the RA Tech bolt-catch in stock. But nevermind, it looks like I found an alternative.
And fucking hell, if the Koreans and the Taiwanese have no problem sending me boxes with potmetal and plastic in them, why would the Americans suddenly need a special permit?
>>1277789
Probably has to do with some stupid law in California.
>>1277942
Oh, that's where they're situated at?
Well no goddamn wonder.
>>1277962
Yeah. Evike, Airsoft GI, Airsplat, Airsoft Megastore, a couple other smaller ones are all based in California.
>>1277464
I don't need your stink'n bonus points when my Empii-chan is sexy as can be by herself.
>>1277789
the US tends to have a fuckload of trade regulations in general. it is very annoying. specifically california though as others have mentioned.

>>buying aftermarket bolt catches for WE trash
It's more of a hobby piece, I'm largely using the thing as a low intensity target gun.
I'm kitting it out partially (mostly because fun), but I need a new bolt catch because the one on the gun seems slightly out of spec. It's on the cheaper side, and I do expect that some of the internals can eventually fail, but I got the thing for it's A1 style receiver, short length, and muzzle-brake.
Other than the bolt-catch, it's been alright.
>>1278160
>WE trash
Is this just an exaggeration or what? I've been looking at VFC and WE AEG's and I haven't decided on one yet.
>>1278472
WE has been notorious in the past for having bad CQ. Their modern stuff however has been very solid, especially their GBB pistols.
>>1278472
WE is known for making GBBs with cheap metals, poor designs, spotty QC, and a tendency to never update their problems.
Their AK series is a prime example of that. Their contractor AKM and AKS-74U have been out for years now and they're only now just offering steel trigger components for them. Same goes for their M14 which has been out for about SIX YEARS and still has a critically flawed design straight out of the box.
>>1277464
New Addition!
So /asg/
Krytec LVOA
Yay or Nay?
Anyone know basic troubleshooting?
I am fixing up an AEG and it's shooting low. Under 350 with an M110 spring and tightbore. What do I need to check/replace first to get this up to 400?
>>1278928
Check your compression components. Check the seal between the cylinder head and cylinder first, then the piston head compression with the cylinder. Use google to find guides.
>>1278928
Also check the seal between the hop-up and air nozzle.

>>1278844
why do you need a rail that long
>>1279042
Looks like f-a-m-s has a new auto filter
senpaitachi
>>1279017
Tbh I don't, I just like the wirecutter look of the LVOA. The gun itself is 26.5 inches which isn't really that large. I mostly want a M4 that looks unique.
>>1278928
M110 is supposed to shoot only 360fps with 0,2g bb. M120 is 400fps.
Confirm that the bucking and barrel are correctly installed first. Lock down your barrel with silicone tubing or O-rings. Make sure your gearbox is aligned correctly. Maybe swap the bucking. Wrap teflon tape around it.
>>1279098
if you want to be a special snowflake you wouldn't go with a m4 in the first place
>>1279098
>I mostly want a M4 that looks unique
That doesn't exist
>>1279392
>>1279467
I disagree
>>1279478
