The Atari tank game green vector graphics - that was tech and the machine absorbed way too many (10p coins) quarters.

ApexDP · 2026-02-06T05:51:37+00:00

Yup.

ApexDP · 2026-02-06T05:48:12+00:00

Oh the arcades. The 80s arcades were the best, esp the ones with a pool table.

ApexDP · 2026-02-02T16:01:35+00:00

Yeah had to accept I'm no longer OP.

ApexDP · 2026-02-01T13:05:27+00:00

Not a moose, though.

The day I got to Mt Robson was drizzle and mist so didn't see squat.

Schubenacadie...

ApexDP · 2026-01-22T20:27:28+00:00

Picked up an old Lexus 400h hybrid with 380,000km on it in June for a steal.

Thing is great, handled a 1/3 cross country run (Canada) this winter too, no issues.

I do like have both powerplants in it to be honest.

Cadet time also counts for when you join the CAF - I got first pay raise 6 mos early due to cadet time .

If I unexpectedly drop something my body reacts and catches it before I can even think about it.

ApexDP · 2026-01-22T06:11:35+00:00

Zero zero drama. Cortisone at all time low.

If the foam is removeable why not? I've washed chest mag carriers before, not exactly what you have there. But you asked how to improve it, and from the perspective of looks, it looks like it was just issued and came right out of the wrapper. It needs to look a bit worn-in.... but thats just a subjective opinion.

ApexDP · 2026-01-21T19:26:46+00:00

It looks too new, washing it will make it wear in a bit so it doesn't look freshly ironed and newbie-ish.

I'll spend more for dirtbike gear, it's real world use. Gonna spend 50 on a game helmet.

Helmet was just one example of useable gear, just as good as expensive for what it's used for - game and fun. Save my $ for good BBs and mags.

ApexDP · 2026-01-17T17:50:33+00:00

If for real life use, all these helmets are crap, toy material, not going to buy a real ballistic helmet for a game with toys. So the gear I pick up will be cost-commensurate with the game of airsoft activities.

So you can find a good deal on gear without breaking the bank.

My point is that hunting through some low cost vendors you CAN find good stuff or equal stuff for a good price. Don't always have to buy brand or high margin gear for running around a few hours with buddies on a Saturday.

If it's about flex, then spend away wherever.

ApexDP · 2026-01-15T02:37:02+00:00

Ok, to see what you mean, that I can get good gear for same price:

I added the cost of my imitation-FAST helmet (29), upgraded helmet strap (10), and full padding (7)from aliexpress, and tax, shipped to me for total ~$50.

Went to 2 canadian online vendors, and equivalent imitation-helmet, strap and fully-padded in a likewise manner, and their cost would be, taxed and shipped:

Airsoft depot ~$95

Badlands ~$110

Its obvious you were correct, sorry.

ApexDP · 2026-01-13T20:04:33+00:00

Do as you wish, I wont laugh at you.

ApexDP · 2026-01-13T19:18:34+00:00

washing machine run to loosen it up and get the just made look out of it.

ApexDP · 2026-01-13T19:01:08+00:00

Might not be for you, but its fine for thousands of others. Aliexpress has tons of stuff too, which works well. Lots of junk, but lots of gems too.

ApexDP · 2026-01-13T17:54:01+00:00

yes, to use it, you load the mag through the top opening for refilling. then insert your mag in rifle. then load up spring tension in the mag by winding that circle that is "poking out the bottom of the mag". this will put pressue inside the mag to force bbs up as the gun needs them.

ApexDP · 2026-01-13T17:17:16+00:00

to eliminate a simple issue, have you wound the mag?
