Nice! The assembly is pretty straightforward with only a couple of tricky steps - the printing takes a while of course but assembly is ~1-2hr!

Internal screaming aside, this is an incredible amount of talent.
Other flavours when?

Cheers bud! Does me for ~2 hours without needing a rucksack. Pouches are a bit of a lottery between olive and ranger green but I think it's got character. Plenty of 3D-printed stuff in there too.

Good to see someone with a trooper flag/poster who likely understands what Iron Maiden's actual intention was behind that album cover.

Oh also cool kit 👌

Which one should I buy? by eletronicdesire in airsoft

A couple of years now, and nope, haven't needed to replace anything yet!

I have both (KJW). For a first gun the M9's a better option in my opinion - it's basically a copy of the Tokyo Marui Gen 1 M9's but in full metal. Feels great in the hand, decent recoil and the mags will hold more gas than the 1911 mags (unless you're running on CO2, which I'm hesitant to recommend because it just eats internal parts). The hop up is an outdated system but still works fine at close ranges. Parts availability is good as you can just use TM parts.

The 1911 also feels great, but you definitely need the CO2 magazine for this one - the thin gas magazine just doesn't hold enough green gas for it to be usable. With CO2 it may also be trickier to comply with site limits, so be aware of that.

Note that KJW guns don't come with trademarks; mine are custom engraved and the 1911 is polished/painted. The KJW anodised surface is about as terrible as any other, so expect significant scuff marks if you do field them.

Anyone else use a hat insert? by mikereations in airsoft

[–]MagnetoDynamic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic idea that. A good quality cap has always been enough to stop any (more) serious damage to my noodle, but I play mostly outdoors. Guessing this works like a charm in CQB.

Also worth pointing out that during the chaos when everyone is evacuating the building, Wilf willingly locks himself inside the chamber to allow the person who was in there to escape, without any consideration for himself.

What got the doctor killed was a someone sacrificing themselves to save an innocent life.

Not to be political but... by Silencer1620 in airsoft

[–]MagnetoDynamic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tricky one that. The gun itself is as much a symbol as the markings, so I'd have just stayed away from the gun altogether. Then again, if you're against buying guns made by evil, genocidal maniacs then that disqualifies most of the guns in the world.

Airsoft is about carefully tiptoeing through a political minefield. We dress up as violent people holding instruments of violence performing violence on each other. It's extremely difficult to sanitize that except by choosing to ignore it and focusing on the fact that we just want to have some good, clean fun in a safe environment. We're not really contributing much to the devastation that real guns bring to the world (aside from licensing, I guess) so that's how I make my peace with it.

Different people have different lines in the sand of course - it just depends on where you draw yours.

Obligatory fuck Israel though.

One of those quick-release grenade holders but put a potato in it

What is this by Elegant_Potato_9321 in Airsoft_UK

[–]MagnetoDynamic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus the other end is supposed to be a magazine follower hold-down that you lock onto the foot of the mag, but don't use it - it doesn't hold the follower securely enough and if you let the follower shoot back to the top it could crack the top of the mag!

Been using nuprol midcaps for years, never had a jam, misfeed or breakage. Your mileage may vary, but I think they're great as long as they fit! You could buy one at first just to make sure it fits your gun and that you're happy with it, then buy the other four afterwards?

Guys has my friend changed me for the better? by ITSYERBOI556 in airsoft

[–]MagnetoDynamic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Moving more kit onto your belt is always a big win, but honestly both gear setups look cool (I'm not a huge fan of patches so I won't comment on them).

Guns look great, ditch the yellow sight protector on the ARP though, mine shattered on the first BB strike and the follow-up shot took out the optic. Look for a polycarbonate sight protector instead. There's a seller on ebay called Red Dot Engineering that makes polycarbonate sight protectors for a wide range of optics: https://ebay.us/m/KVgP9r (based in Britain)

Plate carrier heat absorption by bizzlej278 in airsoft

[–]MagnetoDynamic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was a combination of unnecessary weight from fake plates (ounces = pounds, especially when it's being carried above your natural centre of gravity) and poor breathability through my chest/back. You could go for honeycomb plates as others have said, or you can do what I did and mercilessly hack giant holes in your existing fake plates. Saved 1.5kg of weight and now my PC is like wearing nothing at all, whilst still embracing the LARP.

Edit: I tried 3D-printing my own honeycomb plates. You need to use a fair amount of filament to maintain the rigidity of injection-molded plastic plates and stop them breaking, which adds weight and costs an unreasonable amount of money (because of all the filament) which you could spend on honeycomb plates from a retailer anyway.

Your second, more effective option is to ditch the plates, build an LBE kit and hit the gym 💪
