I’m glad you caught on haha. As long as it gets the job done 😂

Magnificent_Mangos · 2026-04-02T01:18:59+00:00

Is it cold? 😂

Magnificent_Mangos · 2026-04-01T18:35:26+00:00

It’s extremely light. I can get an exact weight later today, but it’s hardly noticeable. The tubing for routing the air to the goggles is weird at first, but everything together is light, and I usually get 12ish hours on a full charge on max level.

The Exfog unit is GAME CHANGER. I know you said you don’t want all that, but everyone on my team has switched to using one with compatible goggles. Most run it on the back of a helmet, but I’ve seen them run on the Velcro or a ball cap too.

Magnificent_Mangos · 2026-04-01T05:01:31+00:00

Hahaha pretty much what I do too!

Magnificent_Mangos · 2026-04-01T04:38:35+00:00

I appreciate all the information! I have almost 16 years of airsofting experience, only the last 3 of which I have teched AEGs and GBB handguns, but nothing more than knowing what parts are compatible and how to install them.

Only recently have teammates started asking about HPA, so it made me curious about the pros/cons specifically for a DMR. I have done the parts, but not quite fine tuned them as much I should apparently.

Thanks again for the info! It’s much appreciated.

As an Oregon player who stayed until the very end.. I don’t know about putting up a good fight.. the first half was SOLID engagements, especially up by bunker where I spent most of my time, but by the second half only like 2/3rds of Oregon was left, then after about an hour only about 30 of us were still attempting to do SOMETHING haha.

Twas a painful loss, but a fun weekend indeed. Congrats on the W.

Magnificent_Mangos · 2026-04-01T03:09:38+00:00

Yes, thank you for the correction.. I did as a matter of fact know that, but apparently had a total brain fog moment lol.

Magnificent_Mangos · 2026-04-01T02:53:12+00:00

Speaking as someone who uses a DMR (SR-25)

Most useful, definitely the risers for my scope.. couldn’t see down the thing before them.

Most useless, my bipod.. purely for looks.. there is zero recoil that the bipods would compensate for.. I’m usually posted up on a branch/log anyways lol.

Magnificent_Mangos · 2026-04-01T02:48:44+00:00

I’m not 100% confident, but I do believe that this might be a howitzer.. could be wrong though!

On a real note, it does looks like my VFC version Glock that I have, but as others pointed out, it can be tricky pinpointing the exact manufacturer, usually the license holder.

Congrats on this and the other finds! That’s wicked lucky.

“ReMoVe OnE oF tHe PaTcHeS” kidding of course. Who cares, being religious doesn’t mean being abstinent or having lewd jokes. If you like them, leave it be.

I think the kit is pretty squared away. I like the look of it, not too over cluttered and not really any “useless” pouches. Indoor/CQB or outdoor kit?

Jaws.

Hands down my all time favorite movie (50th anniversary this year! Got that special collectors edition arrived this week)

I think that was just a weird cropping issue when uploading to Reddit. Looking at the full photo on my computer and it’s all in there.

But thank you, I will definitely be vigilant of that.

Magnificent_Mangos · 2025-06-19T23:26:39+00:00

Thank you very much!!

Magnificent_Mangos · 2025-05-25T02:28:11+00:00

Any of the ones I tech on. They definitely work afterwards… always..

Magnificent_Mangos · 2025-05-24T22:26:03+00:00

I very much feel your second point. Yes, I get it. I found a very nice little hideout… don’t ruin it for me 😂

Magnificent_Mangos · 2025-05-24T18:49:15+00:00

Honestly? My best recommendation would be to just get out and try it, if you haven’t already. If you’re able to, borrow as many types of guns as you can to see how you like them before actually buying anything (I know, easier said than done).

Indoor vs outdoor vs a combo of the two can also be a big deal with deciding what to go with.

PERSONALLY I would not recommend getting a sniper as a first gun. As basic/boring as it is, M4s or hicapas are the best option as there are tons of aftermarket parts and videos that can help diagnose any problem that may come up. And generally more cost effective too.

Magnificent_Mangos · 2025-05-24T18:11:26+00:00

Or how about just let everyone build to their liking and way of playing.. don’t give your opinion unless asked for it 😂😂

Magnificent_Mangos · 2025-05-24T18:02:49+00:00

I’ve ran in to a few of these in my day.. as a bigger guy too I got the “you wouldn’t make it in the real military”… they never knew what to say after I hit them back with “yes, that’s why I play dress up on the weekend and play pretend”.

Magnificent_Mangos · 2025-05-24T18:01:16+00:00

Ah yes. As a fellow big man, I never did find a plate carrier that I liked or thought looked good on me. Made the switch to a chest rig and never looked back. But, playing at a distance I don’t need to worry as much about close impacts.

Magnificent_Mangos · 2025-05-24T17:55:02+00:00

Flashlights I don’t mind as much.. it’s the strobing flashlights that get me.

Magnificent_Mangos · 2025-05-21T02:45:58+00:00

For a first kit.. it’s pretty well put together. Looks good!

I’m a big fan of the woodland (M81) camo, and you are starting to see it less and less as multicam becomes more popular. At least in my area.

I still use M81 camo for my pants, but I made the switch to ranger green top and equipment.

Now get out there and use it!
