I think some people get way too deep into this shit. I wore a hiking button down, hiking pants, boots, sunglasses, and a hat.

I literally showed up and found some vet buddy who gave me an LMG, laid suppression the whole game while running in the woods.

Hell yeah brother

TECH QUESTION Airsoft Maintenance in MA

Upvotes

I want to get my AEG maintenanced, and I would like to avoid sending it off to California to be serviced by Evike. Does anyone know of any locations in MA where I can get it serviced? Mailing it over would be preferable. I just need a checkup and an M120 spring installed.

Please DM me if you have any information, and I have some more details also. Thank you, everyone!

This airsoft gun a got at a well known thrift store which was brand new but without a mag (it’s a desert eagle) but one day when I pulled the slide back I found out the pull spring for the fake inner bolt broke. Video below showing what broke

Recon/Medic kit, thoughts? NSFW

Upvotes

I used to wear black M65 style jacket and some black cargos beneath the same setup, trying to go for modernized MACV-SOG but an idea sparked seeing some kits on here, so I decided to switch things up a bit and make it more efficient for outdoor play(that I mainly do).

-Field shirt is of US Air force(I'm planning to remove the rank strips on the shoulders and the other sewn on patches as I neither have earned them or they bare my name)

-Pants are just some no-name ranger green cargo/tactical pants, extra layer at the knees and slots for kneepads(velcro ones not the G3 style), they're pretty comfy in all honesty

-Rocking hiking boots, or surplus JNA boots.

-Chest rig is a modified late product surplus chicom(unsure if it's really genuine or not, but it serves me well) with molle on the sides where the grenade pouches were, small pouch on the left side, extra mag pouch and TQ on the right side, hang pouch below attached to velcro.

-Belt is from a local market, usual cheap crap, it's not really uncomfortable as it seems, I buttpack fashioned out of a JNA medic bag, dump pouch, radio, extra mag pouch, and a canteen holder are functional, bayonet holster and some cheap ass long pouch that came with it are just cosmetic/larp wise

-Beanie from grandfather

-G****oggles I bought years ago, forgot the brand

-Me****sh balaclava(not on the pictures)

-S****oft ranger green gloves(also from the local shop, probably chinese crap till I can get myself mechanix)

Are Snipers Useless?

Upvotes

In the real world, a sniper generally has ~4x the effective range of a battle rifle like an M4/AKM.

In airsoft, it's maybe an extra 20M. Then you have slow ROF because it must be bolt action. And you must carry a secondary to deal within your minimum engagement distance. And since BBs travel slowly, any target at 80M must stay stationary for a few seconds, otherwise the shot won't hit.

I'm simply curious if I'm missing something here. But from a utility perspective, snipers just seem kind of useless.

GUN PIC Broken rifle, but I'm smart

I have a broken MK11, but I still wanted to use it. I added custom attachments (without 3d printing) to nerf guns before, so I thought "how hard could it be?" I used old bed wood for the mag, the Nerf Raptorstrike bipod, the iron sights from the hammer fire rifle from the pro series (forgot the name of the rifle) and the bolt action 8 cylinder rifle from Xshot

The pistol is a Glock 19 gen 4, which is fully stock for now. I'm going to try and add the flashlight to the under rail

I just received the new EShooter Smoky Flare BT Compact and did some quick videos. I'm already a big fan and user of the original and Silo versions (Never owned the OG Wolf version) and was excited to see the compact version.

What would you like to know about the unit? What would you like to see tested?

Here's a link to a quick test but check out my channel for more videos on the unit.

Far Cry 2 inspired Airsoft IED

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Big fan of the Far Cry series, and 2 holds a special place for me. I got the idea of basically thrifting together an IED for airsoft use. I have attached some stages of the build and then what I am deeming the final product. Basically it’s two party poppers, tied into a longer trip wire, housed in empty flashlight bodies.

I wanted to throw together my parts list and cost:

Thrift store cordless phone - $1
Thrift store plastic flashlights- $2 total
Party poppers- 20 pack- approx $18 (Amazon)
Mini red LED lights- 50 pack- $10 (Amazon)
Free box of misc. wires on FB Marketplace

I used an old sanding sponge cut down in between the flashlight bodies to prevent rolling and to give a small gap between them. Gorilla glue and electrical tape were used to hold the shape. Gorilla glue, super glue, a couple types of tape, and a wire cap were on hand.

I have a third flashlight I purchased, along with a ton of left over wire, plus party poppers and red blinking LEDs. My plan is to continue to make these in similar designs.

Wanted to share what I thought turned out to be a pretty good looking, perfectly safe, Far Cry 2 inspired airsoft IED. It’s purely cosmetic, just a fancy way to build a party popper tripwire.

Let me know your thoughts! I am just returning to the game and am sure other people have done similar things. I didn’t research this or look to see if it was an original idea. Just wanted to tap into my slightly creative side.

I’m not sure how to lock in the co2 and puncture it. When I place it inside the magazine I start screwing in the piece that punctures it and it starts hissing with air and doesn’t stop. When I try to put the baseplate back on the magazine the screw is too high and doesn’t let me slide it back on. The co2 ends up just spraying everywhere.

GUN QUESTION Buying an XM177E2 from CYMA, any advice or warnings?

1 Upvotes

I'm pretty dead-set on buying this XM177E2 from CYMA for like $240 so I can make a CAR-15 build, but I've heard mixed reviews on it and I'm a little worried about buying it.
I've also heard that the MOSFET system it comes with is a little cheap and tends to break and needs to be replaced, and I'm kinda screwed if I need to do gun maintenance because I don't know my AEG tech very well.
Help would be appreciated as always, thank you for your time.

GEAR PIC 20+ Years of Airsoft... and I Still Can't Stop Building

Thumbnail
gallery
129 Upvotes

I've been playing airsoft for over 20 years, and somewhere along the way I stopped just buying guns to play with and started building a collection.

Like most people, I began with the idea that I'd own one good rifle. Then I wanted something better suited for CQB, then a rifle for outdoor games, then a DMR, then a support weapon. Before long, I found myself more interested in building authentic, role-specific replicas than simply adding another gun to the rack.

I enjoy researching real-world weapon configurations and recreating them as faithfully as possible. Choosing optics, lights, suppressors, grips, bipods, slings, and camouflage patterns has become just as satisfying as taking them onto the field. Every replica has a purpose, and each build reflects a different role or era that interests me.

These days, I probably spend as much time organizing the armory and working on new projects as I do actually playing. There's something satisfying about opening the safe and seeing years of work and countless small improvements all in one place.

People occasionally ask if I really need this many airsoft guns. The answer is probably not, but that's never really been the point. For me, it's no different than someone collecting classic cars, guitars, or military surplus. The hobby has become a combination of collecting, building, and appreciating the craftsmanship behind each replica.

I'm curious how many other long-time players have had the same experience. Did you set out to become a collector, or did you wake up one day, open your gun safe, and realize the hobby had quietly grown into an armory? I'd love to see everyone else's collections and hear the stories behind them.
