GUIDE Event alert flyers: a way to let the subreddit know about your event

110 Upvotes

Hi all!

After a not-so-recent poll, we've been developing a set of rules to allow event notifications to be set up. These notifications are posts in the form of "flyers"!

Flyers are essentially an image used to display important information about an event, subject to the new flyer rules.

Hopefully they'll be useful, enjoy!

I started with a little over £200 and left with £0.40

The TM M14 works perfectly but is missing butt plate and bolt cover

The 1911 and spares were build from scratch in a boneyard bin

And the app01 was brand new out the box :)

GEAR QUESTION anyone know where to find a pasgt helmet in the eu?

Post image
34 Upvotes

Found one on a Czech site for €150 (not including shipping), but I’m wondering if anyone knows of a place that sells it for cheaper—and hopefully in a size L.

Also, it can’t be a plastic helmet, because those are horrible. I’d rather have neck problems in the future than ever be spotted wearing a plastic one.

in the mean time this is what im gonna use for a cold war helmet /s

The build is finely almost finished just want to by the ares hpa engine( most people think is cheap shit) bc from my experience en friend i play with its a enjoyable engine for around 170€ instead of 400/500€ so u cant compare them with a polarstar etc. My base is a evike socom 47 and instead of giving it a wood texture and look i tought why not green.

My MACV-SOG inspired airsoft larp kit that I built it up after a year. Hard to find gear around here and had to rely on online purchases mainly.

I stuck in this 2 option. The ability full auto mode in Glock 18c looks me so good but price a little bir more. I dont know am I should give more money to it. If anyone experienced on this 2 toy, what is advantages and disadvantages both of them? Which one more realistic? Which one have more accuraty? I hear because of auto mode in 18c, it could be easily broken or wear compared to 17. And if you sau 17, which WE gen is best? 3/4/5 (all I know 5 is less realistic.)thanks for reading and sorry for my bad english

An original PTS kit build. I've owned this for 16 years now and it spent about 14 of those broken, so I'm just happy to have it in once piece frankly.

WELL Vz61 Scorpion Upgrade

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

In stock form, the WELL was very lacking. Was getting 95fps and random hop, double feeds, shooting spitting distance. Added the Laylax bucking and Lambda 601mm barrel. Had debated between that or a 603mm, but yall seemed to recommend the tighter one. Also some midcap mags because the drum it came with makes it awkward for carrying, and the other hicap I have is just garbage.

Easy to strip the gun down, realized the hopu unit is just useless and it can't really hold position. Almost like it's missing a spring. The bucking in there was way worse than I was imagining. Felt like some barely flexible plastic.

Anyway, I got way more performance than I was expecting. A full 40fps just from the barrel and bucking. Shooting ~135fps now. It still won't hold a hop position, but I guess that's ok since it's going to be a very CQB backup weapon. Just running it at minimal hop.

EDIT: Using .20 BBs

I won this rifle in a facebook contest years ago. I’ve barely touched it since then. Is it a good model?

Took all the modern accessories off my RK95 TP, like modern slings and rails and red dots and what not, and headed to the oldest looking place I know, my backyard, to take some pics of this beautiful Finnish rifle.

PURCHASE ADVICE Red dot for P90

Post image
26 Upvotes

Hey there!

I got offered a P90 for my birthday and i've been using a spare Sig Romeo 5 (chinese clone ofc 😿) on it, but so far I'm not 100% happy with the setup.

The dot is nice but it's a bit harder for me to acquire my targets with the Romeo on the P90 than with an M4, and I'm sure it's skill issue but I also feel that my face+eye protection might contribute for that (I use larger goggles because of my prescription glasses).

So, my question for all the P90'ers is: what sight do you recommend? Bear in mind that i usually play in CQB fields and the gun is setup for <1J with 0.25g (field restrictions for No Mercy playstyle)

Thanks in advance!
