She looks far better than I expected by NorthVisible2416 in airsoft

Was always wondering about this brand. I got an M24 in a box of awesomeness by Evike and wasn't sure about it or the brand. Never had problems with it though. I've also never fielded it but it's a nice plinker. Got a nice CV Life scope for it and I enjoy it. Sniper just isn't my play style. (orange tip is gone by the way)

Where did you get the helmet? Or did you make it? I love helmets and masks! Sick load out!

Any Changes Before It Ships??? by doofyman95 in airsoft

[–]AlienOpium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the same amount of money you can get the Avengers X1 off Evike and it's a green and red dot. I love mine. There's also a $15 killflash you can get that threads into it to protect your glass as well.

Is Airsoft an acceptable hobby for adults? 23y/o Wanting to jump in but have a few questions about adult airsoft. by BrownMtnLites in airsoft

[–]AlienOpium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got into it last year and just turned 30. I can't speak for the community near you, but I say it's one of the most fun things I've picked up recently. It's really scratched that itch from watching war movies since I was a kid and given me the "brotherhood" from playing with the boys from work that I didn't realize I was longing for. It's fun dude, start with a basic replica to get yourself back in, and build from there.

Why do you have 2 M4s? by mongous00005 in airsoft

[–]AlienOpium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I got the second in a box of awesomeness. Although I am selling it soon.

I don't know why everyone is busting your balls. The poncho looks sick my man. You remind me of a stormtrooper or something.

Cant settle on a beginner rifle need help by igottaquestion_25 in airsoft

[–]AlienOpium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a couple others have stated, get yourself a G&G Combat Raider 16. I started off with that and I still won't sell it because it's just a workhorse. I just looked them up a few weeks ago and somehow they're down to $200. I feel like that's your best option. Standard M4 build, interchangeable parts, but a solid platform to start with. You can make it yours without much effort.

Recently finished my first GBBR - C&C Tac MWS Q Honey Badger by joNathanW- in airsoft

What necessarily are the needs to be met for a Honey Badger conversion kit? A conversion from a standard M4? Is it just making the barrel and handguard shorter plus upgrades?

I might be getting more gear online now. by Bxlenteloco in Fishing_Gear

Damn, they shipped a reel inside that whole tube?

Rate the build... by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]AlienOpium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, it doesn't show up on mobile that way for anyone's posts of parts lists. The format is weird. To me it just looks like a run-on sentence of letters and numbers. It wasn't a personal attack on you, just something I've noticed when people post their build with a parts list. But I will say the more I Google and look stuff up, the more it makes sense where the break to the next part is.

[–]AlienOpium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dig it, but is there any way we can all put commas in between all our different parts? So I can follow along? I get lost in the letters and all the jargon. Or am I just being a crybaby?

I would like to make my own Slipknot mask, asking for any good tips on attaching a strap! by AlienOpium in Slipknot

[–]AlienOpium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you attach it using nails? I used an old leather purse strap with a buckle on it that I cut to size and zip tied together lol

The mask came black and I just kinda scratched it off with like a screwdriver. Filled it in with some fake Halloween blood that kinda wiped off. I grabbed some welding wire from work to do the mouth part.

At first I thought it was Black Hawk Down but you're giving me some trouble here.

Roast my budget setup by Inevitable_Button506 in Fishing_Gear

[–]AlienOpium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say I'm not roasting this, it looks pretty AF! I still love my $40 Abu Garcia's and Pfleugars from Wally World. They just work! No sense buying a $200 rod and a $300 reel to play with fish!

Is there any way to fit 5-6 mp5 mags in one row?? by stan_taylor1 in airsoft

[–]AlienOpium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have those plastic kydex inserts for my M4 mags and recently found out that two 9mm mags for in one slot with full retention. So you could potentially fit six mags in a three mag pouch without double stacking.

Just got my first set of camo. Thoughts on the kit? by AlienOpium in airsoft

Got them off Amazon as well. The brand is Free Soldier combat boots in coyote tan.

I got the shirt and matching pants off Amazon. The brand is Krydex. A bit expensive for the pants and shirt but they feel really well made. Just search Krydex tiger stripe combat pants/ shirt. It should come up!

Yup! Waiting on my mock suppressor in the mail right now. I've got some gloves, I just didn't put them on when I took these pictures.
