I haven't bought anything really expensive yet, but I really want to get a Sfera and do a Chechen or Beslan conflict kit. A friend of mine has one and I unironically love it, even if it is heavy and impractical.
>>1181214
I really want that replica AT4 or M72 just to have it slung on my back or to yell CLEAR BACK BLAST like a maniac
>>1181216
Same actually, since it would be a nice add on for my Gulf War kit.

>Ever pay a premium for airsoft gear or clothing
I paid 60 bucks for USGI Grye pants that count?

Not really. That's about the price range of any pair of quality ripstop work pants, like Wrangler or Dickies.

180$ for a wind/waterproof uniform. Used the pants as winter clothing for the last three winters.

Hey guys.
I went to a big airsoft game last night. There we're close to 600 people in full military gear running around. Lots of different situations and terrain. In short it was one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life so I was thinking about getting an airsoft weapon myself but I don't know anything about them.
Any suggestions on what to get? I kind of want a semi-auto.
Also redpill me on the technical side of airsoft weapons pls, thanks.
>>1181317
What gun were you running in the game? Did you like it?
>>1181317
There's a newbie pastebin in the OP. Read that all first. Then come to us with the specifics of your budget and how you want to play.
>>1181322
145m/s and 120m/s M4's.
The 145m/s was nice but I hated that It had almost no range and I'm not big on spraying. Was thinking that maybe a semi auto has better range and higher bullet speed ? Money really isn't a problem, but still, I wouldn't want to bury more than 500eur into the weapon.
>>1181324
The pastebin dosn't really give me much good info.
>>1181343
Honestly mate, no one really makes guns with 500 FPS springs out of the box. Furthermore, you'll still be spraying shots about if you don't have the accuracy to match or consistency to match your speed. An erratic magnus effect combined with high projectile speed would make your BBs veer around even more wildly.
Lastly, it doesn't need to be said that a stronger spring will put more stress on your gearbox and will require a stronger battery-motor combination to make it effective. You don't want a fraction second delay everytime you pull the trigger right?
With all this said, your best options is probably the Krytac CRB. The only thing you'll really need to get is a tightbore barrel and higher strength spring for it. It comes with a MOSFET and neodymium motor, so you can use an 11.1 lipo out of the box as well as have excellent trigger response. The proprietary hop up system is said to be highly consistent. Their gears, gearbox, pistons, and MOSFET are highly durable. Here's a link. Plus a carbine length tightbore of decent quality and spring, that'll be just under 500 eurobucks.

Does Garmin Foretrex 401 count as premium?
I used it for Airsoft once.
I also bought this fuck-stupid expensive F2000 rail.
>>1182012
>fuck stupid expensive f2000 rail
Oh please, I am tryingto source one of them that does not const 200$ Soon im gonna CAD one myself and ask how much machining one would cost.
>>1181593
I kind of like the CYMA SVD 057A Dragunov. 130-135m/s. What do you think about that?
I have friends who are professional airsoft modders and can mod some of the stuff for me.
>>1182017
I bought it back when it was still ~150$, even at a little discount because chances are there's only a handful of F2000 users willing to buy it here.
Well, it feels really good, and is much more accurate than the G36 JG front I bought earlier for quarter of the price, but I can't help to think I chose an expensive raifu.
What's worse is I'm considering buying a 150$ Socom rail, but thankfully there are printed Mk23 rails and I also consider a TM Mk23 which comes with the iconic LAM.
Again, I could have sticked with the Hi Capa, which also has plenty of spare parts, aftermarket support and mags, but I always had a thing for Socoms and KWA one seemed perfect, though I start to consider Ra-Tech parts too.
Ah well, it's still pennies compared to a motorcycle or a car, it's not that expensive of a hobby, right?
>>1182063
Feel you, Being a special snowflake is pretty expensive. And sometimes you wil lregret it because the gun has proprietary parts that you cannot find spares for. Only reason why I havent bought G&G AK5 even if I love the looks
>>1182043
Don't get a sniper or DMR for your first gun. I recommend a G&G combat machine. After you've played a while, and if you still want the DMR/Sniper gameplay, you can upgrade it.
>>1182093
why not?
I know theres less action, more walking and hiding and tactical gameplay, that's what I like about it.
Is it okay to put a short dot on a short rifle?
does anyone have experience in ordering from hobbyking european warehouse? i've heard nightmare stories of people ordering from international waerhouse and waiting months without any sign of the stuff. i was gonna order some lipos to sweden, but my card got denied and now im not so sure, i wanna play now when its warm, not in half a year.
>>1182267
Is it just me but is that Shortdot dipping down?, anyways its fine, its a 1-4 zoom scope
>>1182226
Ideally, you should be able to hit your target, at the very least, 6/10 times.
In the UK, we also have minimum engagement distances for those types of weapons, and you have to have a sidearm for anything under that distance.
You also won't be able to play at most indoor sites.
But if none of this is a problem, go for it.
>>1182280
I think it's just the angle of the picture
>>1181173
I feel kinda proud, someone made an edition after me. This is the greatest achievement in my life so far :^)
On the thread topic, yes, I do it routinely. For justifications, I have a few. Firstly, I actually get larger pieces of kit fairly rarely - the grey kit, an entire loadout is the largest endeavor I've done on the field of airsoft in a few years. I do constantly buy gear though, but usually they are fairly small purchases. So I suppose, when I decide to go for something larger once in a while, I might as well go all out then.
Then, there's the usual "buy once cry once" - thing, but honestly, I didn't notice my chink gear giving up, when I was still using it.
There's also the ethics issue - I can't really find myself paying for clone gear. I just think it's wrong.
And, there's also that usually I am after something very specific, say, a tactical fleece hoodie in blue, or an entire grey kit, and when that happens, I have very little options around. Clone kit is usually just the most bland and unimaginative gear around, though there are plenty of exceptions, and if I want to be an unique snowflake, that won't do.
And for last, as there's the whole $215 Hoodie Edition - I'm one of those autists who wear casual tactical clothing pretty much all the time - I don't even own a single pair of jeans. So I find it fairly easy to justify the clothes - the price isn't only going towards airshit, but also towards my daily life.
anyone tried the agm or matrix mg42
if yes hows the quality?
>>1181330
You have a budget of 500 EUR for just the gun? Might want to take a look at a P* or inferno. That's end gear level equipment.
>>1182347
>There's also the ethics issue
What are you, fucking gay? You hate capitalism?
>>1182347
I gotta be honest the $215 dollar hoodie never bothered me that much. Relative to the amount one could spend on a single piece of clothing that's extremely small potatoes. I'm completely speculating but if you're a single guy who doesn't have dependants I don't see a problem with treating yourself to some nice outerwear, regardless of it's usefulness in BBwarz.
>>1182543
yeah i don't get why people need to get mad on how people spend their money,it's not like he's using welfare checks or shit or actively bringing negative impact like funding child labor
>>1182347
Why is it not named faggot edition then
>>1182443
I have it. Its quite good as far as performance goes stock but its made mostly out of cheap pot metal. I bent the top of the receiver when dry reloading it a couple times when hitting it with my hand from the top. Ive yet to change its internals though. And its heavy as all fuck mainly due to the bipod shifting its center of gravity way forward. Without it its really managable though.
>>1182700
You sure rekt me right there, boss. I wonder how I can live on any more.
I have my old bdus and dcus from my time in the army, but prefere either wearing regular street clothes to play or dressing like a big game hunter.

Are CYMA M4s are worth the low prices or are they just pure ass?
>>1183100
Get an AK
>>1183108
I've thought about an CM04 series AK but I'd much rather get a cheap M4, but the problem is the cheapest I can find is still 150-200€, not $.
>>1183114
>but I'd much rather get a cheap M4
The fuck are you talking about? The AKs run ~100 dollarydoos
>>1183129
>The fuck are you talking about?
He probably just wants a M$ over an AK for aesthetic reasons.
>>1183138
Did you only read half the words or something?
>>1183164
No. Do you lack reading comprehension? He's clearly interested more in getting a M4 than he is in getting an AK. Thus why he's asking about the price-quality of the cheaper Cyma M4s.
>>1183177
He saying he wants an M4 because ITS CHEAPER than an AK and points at a price point of 200 euros. Apply yourself.

Why are people so FPS concerned? Like, why do they always want it so high or the highest they can manage?
>>1183429
I don't think humans as a species are ready for such questions to be answered. Maybe some are better left alone and forgotten for the greater good.
>>1183429
I think it stems from them thinking it's funny that their can hurt
when i had clearsoft guns my and my friends would shoot each other all the time because they hurt and it was funny
>>1183429
Because some people are sadistic
>>1183429
Probably because they generally don't want any doubt of someone being out.
And then you have sadistic bastards like the ones that were using steel ball bearings in their guns at a local CQB place of mine.

I'm not interested in a fucking AK, which is why I asked about the quality of CYMA M4s.
>>1183948
I read your original post as 'cheaper M4' my bad nigga damn
>>1183712
Well who wasn't?
When the camo fits just right.
How would you make a game mode based on the movie The Thing?
>>1184085
looks great.
>>1183750
Here ya go matey
>>1184105
The ref hides an item in the field and chooses the Thing. The item allows players to identify the Thing. Players do this by asking others and the correspondent must answer truthfully. Players killed by the Thing join Things side. When either side is eliminated, the game ends.
Just like in the movie, the game mode only works if the players have never ever seen a horror movie and DO NOT STAY IN THE GROUP. One the other hand If they have seen a horror movie or two, they'll maybe understand that the undercover Thing can't pick them off one by one when they stay in the group without splitting up to hasten things up. Fuck horror movies.

>>1182226
Because I DMR is only a DMR on name unless you have almost the same kind of tuning that goes into a BASR to make it shoot farther than most aegs which is not much of a difference.
I've got a compression problem with my AK. The compression inside the gearbox is perfect, but I'm getting highly variable FPS. I've tried 4 different buckings and two different nozzles. Currently I have a longer 21,5mm M4 length nozzle in it instead of the standard AK nozzle in it. I think the problem is caused by the fact that my magazines push the gearbox just a little bit upwards causing the nozzle to misalign with the bucking lips. Anyone have any ideas how to fix the issue?
I think I could try some very soft 50 degree silicone buckings if they were bit more tolerant to nozzle misalignment.
A friend of mine suggested me to buy a ProWin chamber. Besides their low-tolerances and cool colour, they can be attached to the V3 gearbox's frontmost screw. Would it help to keep the gearbox on aligned? I'm also considering similar style AirsoftPro and SHS chambers, since they're cheaper and ProWin is out of stock in most stores. Any thoughts?
>>1182226
It takes time, money and effort to make your gun shoot accurately at long ranges. Range without the accuracy is worthless, because you won't hit anything and will end up going close enough to hurt people. Accuracy through volume is lot easier and cheaper for beginners. You can be sneaky and tactical with any gun.
If you want to be the next Chris Kyle, BASR parts are pretty cheap nowadays.

Despite the pot calling the kettle a faggot here, the quality of CYMA M4s suck. CYMA really only does AKs (and sometimes M14s) right. You're better off with other reputable M4 brands.
>>1182443
I have it, I got it because I wanted the look. If your planning on buying it I hope your in for the same. Sturdy but cheap metal, hop up needed work out of the box, heavy and unsuitable for a main carry. But hey, its still an MG42.

As soon as you clean your uniform and get down from the rocks you're kinda fucked. If we're talking about effectiveness anon would be better off going for at least multi-cam if he wants to do a modern US kit. UCP is like Ranger Green/Tactical Grey, it looks nice but it doesn't really do anything if it's not night.
>>1185338
UCP works pretty well on half wet snow, half mud diarrea.

>>1186024
Not high enough
I want to be able to ADS from the hip
>>1185678
NATO is green and Warsaw Pact is tan, so you're limited to that Autumn Partisan stuff and Afghankas pretty much. Playing with Tibetarn as a Chink advisor would be fun.
>>1186020
Being in Oklahoma, airsoft isn't really all that popular here
And since it's not popular a lot of players have "Basic" gear (No grenades, no NVG, ect ect)
And no one expects the idiot with the pistol with one 45 round mag to be setting up tripmines all over the field
>>1186035
>Oklahoma
Don't AMS run like three Ops a year in your state? And you also have everything else at DDAP. Not popular my ass.
Fast filter so cool
Would wearing this mask be cool?
>>1186198
Depends on the game and your other gear. 120kg plob of lard decked in PC and battlebelt with that would look stupid as fuck.
>>1186198
In short, no. Video game masks arn't cool unless you do the whole outfit well.
>>1186198
>team has strict outfit rules
>cant wear cool masks
ffs
>>1186213
>strict rules outside of scenario games
Stupid as fuck. Bet you guys throw a fit if teams need to be evened and you get separated
>>1186213
>being part of a "team"
>being part of a "team" of autists
>>1186153
You would be right, we do usually have 3 a year
But most of the participants come outside the state, from what I've heard other players say "Oklahoma has some nice open fields mixed with random pockets of thick trees and underbrush so it's nice to come down here and play"
Problem being "Muh hunting" and "Muh reel steel" is also popular being so far south in the bible belt, so there are a lot of people that say "Why get an airshit rifle when you can just buy the real thing?"
States with strick gun laws have more smaller airsoft fields
States with less gun laws have less fields, but bigger participation in very short bursts
>>1186033
who the fuck set up camo rules?
>>1186241
Eh, I don't really know. Texas has a huge number of fields and they're gun friendly. Up here in Wisconsin there aren't a huge amount of fields, probably four I can think of off the top of my head, plus some unofficials, but we also have a bunch just south in Illinois. I dunno, the community up here is pretty damn vibrant, and about half of everyone I know personally from playing owns real guns.
>>1186256
Cuckold
>>1186257
;-)
>>1186253
As far as I know we have a monopoly of airsoft, there is only one real store that sells airsoft guns and gear (another store has mostly paintball, but they carry basic cheap shit that you can find at Walmart) and the store has bought both the indoor field and just closed down its outdoor field so they can find new land closer to the city of Norman
The only other field I know of is a 2 hour drive away
But don't get me wrong "The sport of using fake guns" is popular, its just everyone here prefers paint ball.
>>1186253
Texan here. There's a good number of fields around DFW depending how far you want to drive.
>>1186198
Only if you go all out
I hope you've practiced your victory screech
>>1186035
Tfw fairly populated state, only two fields, so that means a pretty good showing every Sunday
>Number 2
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>1185727
Way to clean to be Panama or Grenada. Get that shit dirty.
>>1184511
>Tfw New Hampshire
Not only is it 10 hours to get there but I'd get buttfucked by southern heat and humidity. At least I've got Autumn Justice.
>>1186520
You should try playing in Florida during the summer.
>>1186553
Pls no I'll take 20F and 3 feet of snow any day
went out and took some pics today, what do you guys think? there is a lot i need to improve like getting m1 with mitchell cover, correct boots, new belt, another canteen with cover and a poncho, then im pretty much set on the visible equipment part
>>1186176
schysst
>>1186644
Maybe get an ALICE ruck. Either than that, maybe dirty up your pants and maybe the elbows of your shirt.
Clean Vietnam uniforms always look farby as fuck.
>>1186679
im a poorfag and as far as i know every kind of vietnam era ruck is expensive as fuck, as was the uniform so i've used it pretty sparsley
is it just me or is Evike's store TERRIBLE, I can't get more than one page in before it locks up and freezes, every time
>>1186644
you're gonna need a gook and a bit of heroin.
hey /asg/ can i get your opinions on these 2 M14 AEGs, cant decide between them any ideas would be great
A: http://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric/cm-032-dmr-wooden-cm?from=listing&campaign-id=14
B: http://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric/cm-032-wooden-style-cm?from=listing&campaign-id=14
>>1186730
Well if you want something more "realistic" don't get the DMR one as those never had wood stocks like those, unless you plan on painting it.
Either way, they're the exact same rifle with different stocks. CYMA makes a good budget M14 so you can'r really go wrong either way.
>>1186730
Plastic wood looks awful. Buy either green or black plastic model or the one with a proper wooden stock.
>>1186730
We talking M14s? But yeah I've owned a CYMA, JG, and G&P M14s
You won't be disappointed with the CYMA, I got the black polymer stock and the KAC rail back when I had the CYMA made it look like the CoD4 M21
Honestly are gas pistols worth it, back before I purged what I had, I had this Socom Gear M9 and I don't ever remember using it out on the field. Is it just a cool item to have or is it actually useful?
>>1187273
An AEP is probably okay but gas is a lot more fun.
Does anyone make decent knock off TACOS?
>>1187273
Pistols only work well for SAWs and Snipers.
Or CQB for fun times
>>1187373
So probably not for a AEG M14
>>1187398
M14s are long enough to the point that you may consider a pistol if you're dealing with room clearing type scenarios.
Does anyone make knockoff Blue Force Ten-speed mag pouches? I like the idea but not the price
>>1185594
RIP Mr. Ford.
>>1191331
>>1186702
evike works well for me,even though i'm not in the U.S and i just browse the store to check what shit does murrican have
>>1191347
Does anyone ever play in the winter when there's snow on the ground? I want to make a winter camo kit but I'm not sure how common outdoor games are when it's cold and snowy.
>>1191851
Schneetarn is god tier if you play in an area with evergreen trees and bushes. If not, then pencott snowdrift might be a better option.
>>1182822
Brooo 878. Were you at the Temple Texas Player Appreciation Day?
Tax refund time, should I spend some of it on a Krytac?
>>1191851
i did once this winter. It was the only weekend there was snow so.
It was me and one other guy in winter gear. I had cheap surplus winter overalls.
>>1191851
I would say most stop playing during the winter.
I've only had one winter game and that put a stop to that idea at my club.
>>1191851
I've never played airsoft in snow, but I've played paintball in the snow a couple of times and it sucks ass.
>>1191959
no
>>1191894
No, temple is a bit far away for me to go by myself. I'm going to be up at D14 for Dagestan though
What's your opinion of ballistic shields?
A kid wanted to play cawaduty at a local field and got upset because I kept throwing grenades and dodging his shots to get a knife kill.
Granted, he was right when he said "I kept singling him out" but I don't feel like he should be able to blind fire around the shield, even if he has a pistol.
>>1185115
Nice AK-47 bro.
Where'd you get the furniture?
>>1192269
The few times Ive seen people with shields here they actually were sticking their heads out when shooting or just didnt shoot at all. Granted Im talking about yurop though
>>1192269
Blind fire of any kind is bullshit and should be against the rules at any field.
>>1192294
I would be okay if that's what he did, he just can't complain if he gets shot in the ear or something.
I just wanted to ask others opinions on the topic, because I've heard the idea of "If my plate carrier cannot survive hits, neither should his shield"
>>1192315
>If my plate carrier cannot survive hits, neither should his shield
Shields in general are a retarded idea but Ive never heard bitching about PCs like that. Thats something new to me
which operator should a person try to emulate
>>1192348
I never realized that Battlefield outfits look like shitty airsoft loadouts.
>>1192348
Middle, because people will loose their shit if they see you carry that many grenades
>>1192348
American, because I love habing shit getting in the way of my shit
>>1192348
bf4 US engi or bf3 rus engi.
>>1192269
>ballistic shields?
Thoroughly unsporting, but the two sites I go to don't allow them anyway.
>>1191851
Here's the thing about winter airsoft: everyone SAYS they would love to airsoft in the snow, but when push comes to shove, no one comes out and would rather stay inside.
>>1192772
Half the people here would die just trying to drive to the game desu
>>1192348
Honestly the Russian engineers from BF 3 (>>1185627) look the coolest.
Although it probably has to do with the fact that I love the MCU-2/P.
>>1192269
Lightweight plexiglass riot shields should not be allowed at fields, since in reality they're not ballistic rated and are only meant to defend against thrown projectiles. Perfectly fine with shields though if they're heavy as fuck so they have the drawbacks of real ballistic shields.
I know some RR chapters use Vant VM (Pretty sure Alfa on the West coast were the first) replicas that have actual weight to them.
There was this one guy at my local field with a home made shield made from cardboard and foam which is a good idea on paper since it could be penetrated by rifles, but he made it like 3-4 inches thick and spent the CQB game running around like he was trying out for SYG.
Can 3 point slings be used as 2 point slings or even as 1 point slings somehow?
Friend of mine bought me a sling but it's a 3 point and that's okay, I'm definitely going to use it but I've heard 3 point slings can be a little bit uncomfortable.
>>1191959
Yes
>>1192269
Local sites allow them, but you have to stop, plant it on the ground and stick at least your head out if you want to shoot. Seems fair enough, but there's always a couple of wankers who think they're immortal with them
>>1181204
That picture still triggers me

Hey everyone, i'm looking to get into airsoft. I usually play paintball but it costs too much to play every week so airsoft feels like a good substitute. I've read several beginners guides and one of the starter guns i keep seeing listed was the G&G combat machine series. I looked on craigslist to check the local used market and i came across this.
http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/tag/5522402632.html
Good deal or no? Thanks in advance.
>>1192993
You think that looks good?
I bet you wear multicam, black or kryptek.
>>1193006
Fuck off get a king arms g&g v2 and 3 mechbox are trash king arms is a good economic gun
>>1193025
>You think that looks good?
I didn't even think about how it looks until now but I guess it looks okay with the exception of that retarded skull mask and the helmet (I dislike helmets in general).
>I bet you wear multicam, black or kryptek.
I wear Levi's and a shirt or hoodie if it's cold unless the field forces me to wear something else. Come at me.
>>1193006
It's a starter gun, and getting the quality battery and smart charger IS a bit of a nice perk. For the money, it's a fine deal, just make sure to go to where you're buying from and test it out yourself first, make sure it cycles and all that.
>>1192987
Is it the kryptek or fake PVS-14 that triggers your 'tism.
>>1192348
>no support
Plebs.
