I played with a guy a couple of months back that shot at somebody, genuinely missed, and proceeded to scream and yell to whoever would listen about how he hit said person, throw his gun at the ground, and stomp off the field. It was a hell of a facepalm, I tell you. No place for those guys. I don't like people not calling their poo poo either, but the answer: hit them with more, harder. I've fixed more than one person's little red wagon with a .36 or .40.

Don't forget dump pouches - big ones, like Tactical Tailor's roll-up pouch, or Spec-Ops Brand dump pouch. As a note, I was using a Land CIRAS to carry all those mags. Twelve magazines were in six dual-mag pouches up front, and 12 were in two general purpose pouches. The pistol mags were on my belt. The general purposes pouches would take a little time to get into, so I would wait for a lull in the fighting to transfer the magazines in there into the easier-to-access mag pouches. The CIRAS is comfortable and has plenty of MOLLE/PALS real estate. However, it's a bitch to crawl in, and it's bulky and heavy (duh, it's an soft armor and plate carrier). I'm trying to find a way to carry a similar amount of magazines with less bulk. P.S.: Reloading is awesome. Leave the high-caps and drum mags to support weapons or players on a budget.

Don't get me wrong, I rock MAG mids for both my AKs, just because they're quiet, simple, and don't jam if you look at them sideways. But sometimes, two monstrous 600 round hicaps is just what the doctor ordered for laying the hate down. That, and the mids for my M14 are absolute garbage.

Keep an eye on the regulars next time we go to Marrs then. There are several of them, the ones with full OPERATOR rigs, whos idea of fair play is to spot you 200 feet away waving nonchalantly, as I do, blaze off ten BB's directly at you, then throw the gun down and shout and rage for several minutes along the lines of 'OH COME ON YOU HAVE TO BE OUT NOW' Uh....nope. Subject of magazines. I have three JG hi-caps for my g36, because that's all I can honestly afford. Winding's a bitch, but three always seems enough for me. I like the sound of these MAG ones though, never heard of them before. Any G36 owners got some? But then I don't go for full rigs or serious simulation. I'm even tempted to ditch my harness and just use a belt with a couple of pouches on it, because that's all I need. Don't get me wrong I'd love a complex and efficient rig with a ton of mid-caps (mags that don't rattle, by jove) I just straight up can't afford it.

Playing terrorists is more fun anyway. Nothing pisses off fat Territorial Army drop-outs and "I woz in the SAS" enjoyable human being gear queer posers more than a bunch of flailing retards coming along, shouting CoD4 quotes, dodging incoming BBs like poo poo was the matrix and of course winning.  (Except of course when the marshals break the rules of the game in favour of the regulars)Although that said due to my owning an M4gery and not an AK, instead of going for being a terrorist, I should probably try and kit myself out as your average ARFCOMer keeping his guns ready fer when the blue hats be comin'. Any pics to inspire me on that front would be greatly appreciated!

Y'all sure about your diagnosis? I mean, you're there and I'm here but it sure sounds like a plain old rear end in a top hat infestation to me. Common mistake though. The rear end in a top hat frequently mimics the appearance of other creatures, but do not be fooled. It may look like a milsimmer but trust me, it's 100% rear end in a top hat under the camo it uses to mimic others. Watch for the volumes of bile that they eject in all directions as a self-defence mechanism - they let it off at a hair-trigger. Dead giveaway that you're dealing with an rear end in a top hat. They can't hold it in, even if it means blowing their cover. Mister Sinewave fucked around with this message at Aug 6, 2009 around 23:57 |

I hear you. Nevertheless, form my decade of playing airsof the one thing that remained constant is the consistent flow of asshats that like to play GI Joe in the forest. It will never change so I just deal with it. The worst is when then put together their own leagues and organizations. Update on my RS SVD: Slapped in a mad bull fish bone hop up and PDI 260 (cut down about 250mm). Cranks out 515 +- 3fps. With .30g its quite good. Here are my test results: 40x 40cm target at 40meters: 9 out of 10 hit with .30g bbs 40x 40cm target at 60meters: 4 out of 10 hit with .30g bbs The PSO scope is actually quite nice at longer ranges. If you fit a person's torso into the chevrons it compensates for your shots at that distance (slight lob). Its also very nice that the hop unit has 'click' increments. This makes adjusting the hop and the scope much more intuitive. Conclusions from my tinkering: -Prometheus hard bucking does not like the RS SVD -If you are using a battery larger than 8.4v expect to have double feeds -Using anything less of an M120 runs the risk of a drastic drop in FPS -Even with a MOFSET with active breaking installed you will have wild fliers (mine also tend to like the right side) -Shoots good, but needs a precision barrel to excel at its intended role I am going to get myself an EDGI 6.03 at 690mm. I found my POSP 4x24 M to be sufficient for my airsoft needs. The eye relief is not amazing, but it works fine for me (especially considering how easy it is to get into a shooting position). I don't think I want anything larger for my rifle because the extra eye relief and diameter will be wasted on me. BULBASAUR fucked around with this message at Aug 7, 2009 around 00:10 |

Bulbasaur if you wanna be the best dude you'll spend some time zeroing in how much drop is on the BB for each chevron and see what range they zero for on an airsoft gun. You'll be able to use it like the real thing and if you have a rough idea of how far the guy is compensate for the drop.

Just toying with an idea here, but I'm considering looking for a low power scope (probably fixed mag, Not more than 4x.) with the most lenient eye relief that I can find. This is important, nothing pisses me off more than having to spend three years adjusting my head to actually see through a scope. I currently own two Tascos, a 2-6x32 with lovely eye relief and a small sight picture and a 3-9x50 scope I bought for my sniper, it has better eye relief and a bmuch bigger sight picture and it does sport more magnification, but it's loving hooeg and adds loads of weight to whatever it's on, also I only ever used the bottom end of magnification for actually shooting. 5-9 mag is useless while playing. So far, I've tried a few ACOGs and they vary in quality from worse than my 2-6x32 to having the piss-easiest eye relief and the hugest sight picture ever. But judging by how much ACOGs go for and the fact that they are so hit and miss, I'd be open to different types of scope. ACOGs, Elcans, daft tri-railed things, regular ol scopes whatever My initial research gets me stuff like these: EA 4x30 Carry Handle Scope. EA 3x20 Carry Handle Scope. 2x42 Red Dot. - By the way Forti, you've got one of these haven't you? So goons, what are the best low-magnification, easy eye relief scopes out there? Personal recommendations are what I'm really after here. Keep in mind this is an airsoft budget I'm talking about here. Geuine Trijicon Accupoints ain't much help to me.  EDIT: I just bolted my 3-9x50 scope to my M4 for the first time and to be honest, it's kind of funny seeing a scope run from the charging handle to nearly reaching the front sight, so I better hear some sane suggestions soon or this poo poo's just gonna go clownshoes

Also, I managed to find the screws for the gearbox, but I had to go to Fastenal to find them. They're 3mm x 14mm. Fastenal didn't even have 14mm ones - they had 12mm and 16mm ones.

Aliginge- must it be a scope with magnification? Honestly, unless you are a DM (and even then) chances are you don't really need a scope. As you said the only practical magnifications for airsoft are ~3x. Yes, almost all of the 'military' style scopes/sights/whatever have terrible eye relief and are not nearly large enough to be practical. If you are shooting around 400fps I would rock a 40-50mm red dot from ebay (costs around $40). It is more practical, costs less, and has more eye relief than all the other expensive airsoft/army stuff on the market. As for scopes, I can't really help you very much. I have never had trouble with eye relief on my rifles because I always put my face exactly where I need it to be (perhaps you need to adjust the scope distance to your face on the rail etc.). Also, if you are doing gay poo poo like this or this, stop. Chances are that you cant see because your red dot/scope is a mile away from your eye.

I'm thinking this, or somehow ghetto rigging a fix for the broken tab on the stopper rail are my only options. Only problem with option #1 is that I live in New Zealand, where a decent AEG of any kind is insanely expensive. If I could even find another TM AUG in decent condition I'd be looking at NZ$400+. Maybe I'll just cut my losses and get a popular gun with more widely available spare parts, like an M4.

A few years back I wanted some otherwise unavailable parts for my MP5 and ended up talking to Cliff at sales@blazingtoys.com, who managed to get me the parts and ship them internationally (US to UK, shipping ~$28 for 3.5lbs). As I understand it he used to take apart whole guns in order to source the spares, so if you ask nicely he may be able to sort something out for you. It might be worth asking around retailers or anyone that does gun rentals and see if they have those parts and are willing to part with them, even if they come out of a knackered gun.

You'll be able to use it like the real thing and if you have a rough idea of how far the guy is compensate for the drop. I might just do that. Its a good idea. Or, perhaps, someone else with an RS SVD. ^^My shark hop works well. I am excited to see how it compares to what you have been using. I played my first serious all day skirmish today. I played 7 games on a map that wasn't very friendly for long range rifles and discouraged very much moving. Observations: -People like to check it out. Most don't even know about real sword -Cheekpiece comes off with a hard enough 'bump'. This will need to be fixed so I don't have to constantly check it. -POSP 4x24 M is more than sufficient for airsoft games. Rubber eyepiece is fun to use, but isn't needed. -Unlike AKs, twisting your right arm through the sling a few times isn't enough to counterbalance the gun with tension. Wrapping the sling around the front sight with a tight fit works as a substitute. -Accuracy and consistency are quite good with a MOFSET and .30g bbs (think .25 at lower FPS). At 515fps I was able to keep people out of my line of fire at ~85m (albeit, I didn't hit any and my bbs were falling in front of them. Nevertheless, I served my purpose by keeping heads down and worried that I might hit them) -At 5'10, 170lbs, and in decent shape the gun was not extremely heavy nor did it strain my wrists. However, it was noticeable after a few games and the inability to effectively move the gun with a single hand is a big disadvantage in some situations. With more arm strength I would have less burden moving the gun around. I would say that its length and weight are manageable for experienced players. Conclusions: The RS SVD is an accurate rifle that turns heads and keeps them down in the process. It is entirely skirmishable stock or upgraded, but you won't see full potential without a precision barrel and new hop up. I do not recommend this rifle for anyone new to the sport or for someone who has problems with heavy/long rifles. If you have played airsoft for a number of years you will have a good idea of how to use the RS SVD and how to avoid substations where you may be disadvantaged. If you are small or even remotely think that you may be uncomfortable with maneuvering around ~14lbs then I suggest you reconsider. Its no wonder that a number of people sold their SVDs because of the weight. Don't make their mistake. I know I didn't.

Nevertheless, I served my purpose by keeping heads down and worried that I might hit them) I learned this lesson about "range" in airsoft the hard/expensive way.  I always thought that BBs had a steady parabolic arc, but eventually I kind of found that due to their weight, BBs fire straight, spin upwards a bit due to the hop and then just drop like a loving stone once the air resistance drops the speed of a BB beyond a certain point. I wish someone told me about the range myth earlier, airsoft forums, their membership and reviewers of airsoft guns vastly overexaggerate how far these things can actually hit. I should consider some heavier BBs if they actually make a difference in a 350-400FPS gun. (Yes I know I was asking about scopes earlier, I like to see where my BBs are going and I like them ok?  )This whole thing is also why I would like to do some loving CQB for a change. I'm tired of fighting on the windiest goddamn hilltop ever :/ Aliginge fucked around with this message at Aug 10, 2009 around 14:39 |
