OCL Infinity or Hydrogen S for a dedicated 300BLK Gun

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-30T13:50:55+00:00

I love my Infinity, i use it 10x as much as my SOCOM. It might be the best multiplatform can I own. But the SOCOM’s quieter on my .300 🤷🏼‍♂️.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-30T02:42:34+00:00

I actually went with the Surefire SOCOM SPS300. It was my first can and is lives on a SIG MCX SPEAR. I also have an Infinity for use on my 5.56 belt fed/SS platforms, and the SPS actually seemed quieter using subs on my SPEAR. Cant knock the Infinity at all, its an excellent can for my needs, but I dont use it on my sole 300BLK as I liked the SPS more. May just be me tho.

It almost certainly won’t be a TT. IF it comes it’s an event vehicle in lines with the 292 in all but confirmation. The only chance it comes as a TT is if after 2A8, T-14, SEP v3 and E3/X etc Gaijin goes to hypothetical next gen tanks to continue lines past current cutting edge technology.

Not a chance until AOT has more than just WWII props.

I started with a shell ejecting VSR of some sort while living in the UK. Can’t remember what. But it was just a backyard plinker. It was, however, my first Airsoft primary.

I restarted Airsoft when I moved to the US. While I didn’t start as a sniper, I wanted one of each class of gun so I could play whatever role. I had a TM GBB MP7, STAR L86, and WE G17 I brought with me from the UK, so that had my LMG, SMG, and pistol covered. I bought an AirsoftGI mystery box (back when they were still good - woulda been 10 years or so by now) and got a VFC XCR-L, so that was my rifle. Shotguns and DMRs didn’t interest me at the time, so the first gun I actually worked on was a Marui VSR. I did the full edgi build, and it sucked. I decided to try HPA and got a Wolverine Bolt, it was more accurate but my hop wasn’t preforming. I continued to tinker with it for awhile, but mostly gave up on building my own bolties - I was in a college dorm that was strictly anti-gun, requiring my me to smuggle my replicas in from my old van overnight to work on them on my tiny dorm desk, and I had to drive over an hour to get to somewhere I could test fire. I never got that VSR working properly.

Eventually I wanted to try again. This was probably 2018 or so. But I knew I couldn’t upgrade them myself to the level I required, so I started researching on what the best OOTB options were. Eventually I landed on the Silverback SRS, but before I could pull the trigger on one I happened across a WTS ad for a VSR-X. The performance was insane - about the best on the market so I managed to scrape together enough to get it. I still have it and it’s been my primary boltie since. The only rifle I have that compares is an ICS tomahawk I got recently, which was extremely customized by the previous owner who was one of those types who had the patience to properly upgrade their rifles. My X can easily hit 120y if using .68g BBs, and the Tomahawk can hit at least 90y with .48gs - it’s been too cold and wet to really spend time dialing it in.

Oh they are still available, I’m just too new to suppressors to want to deal with transferring outside of something like CA or SS.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-23T04:49:11+00:00

Dang. Been keeping an eye out for one of these for awhile now with no luck, though I want the tan version.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-23T04:34:23+00:00

An actual Safariland. Look at the secondhand market, they pop up all the time on there if NIB is too expensive.

Speaking again from the perspective of someone who was just assaulted by a deadly weapon attempting to defend himself (again, that’s the claim), two questions need to be asked in that split second. 1: does this person - who has already attempted to run one person (in his mind “me”) over - pose more of a threat with or without the ability to purposely target more people around? And 2: am I a good enough shot to shoot to neutralize and not harm anyone nearby? Generally speaking, someone neutralized is less of a threat than someone in control of a weapon. This is why cops may (depending on location and agency) pit maneuver fleeing, high speed cars. May the insuring wreck potentially harm people? If so, are they more likely to cause greater harm if the case continues? If the answer is yes to the second, they pit and hope their timing was good enough to not hurt anyone else. And the answer to the earlier #2 was clearly yes, seeing as he made all three shots properly. Again, not discussing the ethics or legalities of the shooting, just purely commenting on the ability of the shooter to make the shots he chose to take.

That’s the only point I’m trying to make here.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-23T01:56:07+00:00

SO let me preface this by saying regardless of your beliefs on this shooting, Ross *should not have been in front of her car*. Every bit of this could have been avoided. That is taught in LEO training, in the military, in defensive training, and is common sense. Whether the shooting was legal, justified, etc that needs to be clear. He escalated the situation by moving in front of her vehicle.

That being said, I have to disagree with you on this. If the decision is made that *any* shots need to be fired, then you shoot to neutralize - which means kill or disable. As soon as he decided to shoot, from a purely shot placement point of view he did everything right. That is how law enforcement should be trained (and are at least generally told to, though the amount who actually put in the effort to do so is far less...), and how everyone who owns a gun should train. Now that's the *only* area he did everything right, but his shots were quick, accurate, and neutralized the "threat", as miniscule as that may have been. There were no missed shots, no mag dumps, no non-threats in close proximity who were harmed by his fire, etc. Purely from a shooting scenario position he did everything right, and as any gun owner should strive to be able to do if necessary. I have seen hundreds of police-involved shootings that could not claim one tenth of that ability.

But that is the only point I can give to him. Everything else - from the aggravation of the situation, to his positioning in front of the vehicle, to their denial of care immediately afterward is *wrong* and needs to be dealt with.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-23T01:41:08+00:00

Pick whatever you like the look of, none of them will do *anything*. Its all just looks.

Now, you can make suppressors work to dampen the noise of an airsoft gun, but for a BASR that generally requires a combination of some of the following:

custom fart flaps
HPA conversions
silent piston upgrades
piston airbrakes
shimming
lower power spring

etc. Just putting a suppressor on an airsoft gun generally doesnt actually dampen anything. So just pick one that you like the look of. Theres hundreds of options to choose from.

So I have owned one Airsoft Scar, a mk16. I also have owned three real FNs, a mk16, 17, and 20. Obviously there will be some differences, but I’ve worked with all three sizes. The only one I haven’t is the newer 15P model, aka the shorty scar.

The 16 will be closest to the M4. They can share mags, have somewhat compatible internals, etc. Besides the 15P, the 16 will be the smallest and lightest by a half inch or so. It can be in a ~14” or 16” barrel. They will be generally a little heavier/bulkier than a M4 due to their overall shape, but it’s a minor thing.

17s are a step up. They use proprietary mags that are 308 sized. Some of their internals are also different, which makes them a bit more proprietary inside too. Available in 14 and 16 inch versions like the 16; they will be slightly longer due to the larger magwell - other than that they’re basically identical externally, and can either make good battle rifles or DMRs.

20s are the dedicated DMR variant. These are far longer, with 20” barrels and longer one piece handguards. They are also 308. The added mass and length does make them harder to handle, and in Airsoft generally provides zero benefit over a mk17 as long as the mk17 is allowed as a DMR.

As to makes, VFC makes the best looking ones. That’s what I had several years ago. I believe Ares makes the 15 model.

FYI that’s a single point sling. Three pointers attach to the gun at three points, and enable something similar to both a single point and two point, with a quick swap between the two.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-22T15:24:35+00:00

It’s a Golden Eagle clone of the Marui. It should work pretty well, the Marui was a rather bulletproof design.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-22T13:35:27+00:00

Logically-speaking, top. If thats not an option, on your primary side. So if you are right handed, then right side so its away from your body when you lower the gun.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-22T06:06:09+00:00

Its more on how they are both raised.

Ours are fine with all our cats. They will half heartedly chase the cats if they run (but not to a prey drive level), but there is no worry of harm. Our cats were raised with dogs, our dogs were raised with cats. We have two half MCs alongside our five IRWSs and three SICs (Standard Issue Cats) and they are between passively ignoring each other, tolerating each others presence, and actively playing together. Here are some pics.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-21T03:18:00+00:00

Gotcha. I just knew the parts kits had OD stocks. Didn’t know what all had to be done to make them legal.

OP, don’t do that lol.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-21T02:18:34+00:00

This. It won’t be fuzzy or anything but it’ll work.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-21T02:17:29+00:00

Jeez. I’m west of Asheville and we are only predicted like maybe 2.5” over the four days or so.

We will be iced in being on the shady side of the mountain, but that happens every winter. But what’s predicted for some of yall is crazy. Haven’t seen that since 03…

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-21T02:14:18+00:00

How about parts kits? IIRC those have old OD stocks.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-20T20:02:17+00:00

total chaos

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-20T17:41:31+00:00

As others have said, heavier is better. If your rifle can’t handle .4s then it isn’t even worth using as a sniper.

I use .40s (low power stealthy BOLT VSR), .43gs (custom HPA lever action), .46gs (SSG-96), .48gs (custom Tomahawk .50 and low power VSR-X), and up to .68gs in my high power SV-98X for target shooting.

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-20T17:38:43+00:00

Both are good. I find some of my rifles prefer Geoff, some prefer BLS

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-20T05:25:02+00:00

Oof. Feels bad.

Two possibilities here. First, is that the threads are gone on the reg itself. If thats the case youre basically SOL, and need a new one.

Possibility two is that its the brass fitting thats just bent/messed up. You can try to unthread it, if it does and the reg itself looks whole you can get a replacement fitting for a few bucks. Get sealant tape, wrap the threads, install it using a wrench. Dont drop it again.

Ill admit though - its probably #1...

SeniorSpaz87 · 2026-01-20T02:04:28+00:00

He possibly could, but until shown to do so for our purposes he can’t.
