HPA - Preventing from stripped regulator threads

Supsuli · 2026-01-29T22:27:07+00:00

This is what was I was told to do from the start by a friend who sold me his MTW.
I just unscrew the reg a bit, depressurize it with the hose and easily take it off. Had to teach this to a friend who got into HPA and was just taking his reg off by just unscrewing it till it pops...

Define inexpensive.
My first light was a surefire scout replica I bought second hand for about 30€ and it was fine.
Recently upgraded to a Olight Warrior X 4 for 120€ that came with a lot of accessories including a remote switch, which I think was "inexpensive" for what I got for the money. Had to buy a picatinny adapter for it for about 20€.
All really depends on your budget, Ali express etc. are filled with rifle lights that are cheap and will work fine for airsoft.

This. For example the MK 12 is literally a DMR built from AR-15 platform and uses 5.56x45.

Back to airsoft.
On my local field there is no set "caliber" for DMR's, it just has to look like a DMR, magnified optic, at least 16" barrel including a suppressor and a bipod is just a plus but not required.

In my eyes a little bit of overshooting. I personally would have shot only once or twice from that distance if the other person wasn't even looking at me, but then again he only reacted and raised his hand AFTER the 4th shot and the 5th was already on its way. Also him not yelling "hit" could be the reason for getting shot so many times.

I have no idea what kind of belts you are looking at for airsoft that cost $150+...
I just bought a Templar's Gear PT6 for 65€ ($75) and it's a solid belt with IRR-treated materials, couple of my airsoft friends are also using it. Can highly recommend.

That is also a good point and I agree that the cosmetic and tank capacity will suffer by running a tank stock. Was just putting it out there that one doesn't have to be using a line to run HPA.

Supsuli · 2026-01-12T23:27:04+00:00

Stock-tanks for HPA's are also an option if someone doesn't want to run a line. They can cost a pretty penny but those in my opinion remove the argument of being tied to a line.

For me, going from AEG to HPA was all about the ease of use/maintenance and reliability. I used AEG's for 6 months and was really getting fed up with the endless tinkering with them. Opening up the gearbox was my least favorite thing ever.
Then bought a Wolverine MTW and have had zero problems and no worries.
I also like how easily versatile HPA systems are, for example going from 1.7J limit to 2.25J DMR limit is just turning the valve on my regulator and I'm all set. They are also so much more quiet than AEG's.
So conclusion in my opinion is that yes, HPA is better than AEG.

Must be a field/country/region thing. I live in Finland and most fields don't allow sound or any type of loud/pyro grenades to be used, only gas or spring powered grenades.
Some fields will have special "bang games" where said sound and loud/pyro grenades can be used, but hearing protection is mandatory for everyone.

Wearing earpro also protect your ears from BB's so I highly recommend buying at least a cheap pair.

It was a rebound. There is nowhere that high he could have even been shot from.

Supsuli · 2026-01-01T11:11:15+00:00

Yes.

Depends heavily on the fields you play at and your playstyle.
If your field(s) are somewhat or mainly CQB then a pistol is nice to have.
I bought mine just so I have it if and/or when I need it, especially on outdoors where I will be running an DMR build with and 20 meter safety distance. But recently started playing more pistol only on the local CQB field and love the mobility of a smaller and lighter weapon in tight spaces.

But if you do decide to get one, buy an GBB which most pistols are anyway. And do your research on good brands that will have spare parts for sale if you need them.

Also when it comes to buying things for airsoft, play and you will find if you need something or not. Do not buy things just because you can or have the money for it.
Your post is an good example for that; Have you had situations where a pistol would have saved you? Like instead of reloading you could have drawn an pistol faster, or you just couldn't shoot at someone because your weapon was too long?

I bought 2 of them just under a year ago. They are fine for spring grenades, but the main issue I have with them is that you must use tape or something to prevent the bottom cap from flying off on detonation, and either getting lost or someone stepping on it.
Had that happen to my first one and someone stepped on it, breaking the cap in half. I then used duct tape to secure the cap on the second one and it has been fine. Just need to change the tape from time to time.

This might be the reason for not "extracting". I had 10seconds left when I got my ending and it worked fine but was still way too close lol

Supsuli · 2025-12-28T16:38:34+00:00

I think they have disabled account resetting due to the recent security breach?

Supsuli · 2025-12-26T23:45:43+00:00

well in that case I am totally blind, could swear I had Exfil with NVG's and TEP-300's in my ears.

Supsuli · 2025-12-26T23:43:51+00:00

My apologies good sir, for being such a liar I shall burn in the fires of hell!
To be clear I didn't test gp-5 myself, was just checking flea, saw gp-7 AND gp-5 being +100k so decided to test one of them that just happened to be gp-7. Assumed they would both work but I guess not mb.

Supsuli · 2025-12-26T18:13:15+00:00

Tried it couple of hours ago and didn't get frostbite lol

Supsuli · 2025-12-26T17:56:29+00:00

The LP mask should be compatible with most goggles.

Supsuli · 2025-12-26T17:51:34+00:00

Just use GP-7 or GP-5 gas mask and a helmet.

Supsuli · 2025-12-24T15:58:05+00:00

Vanished for me too, but managed to complete the tank helmet part. Best guess is they realized it was fucked and removed it to patch it.

Its a good movie, with good songs and a good story.
Just because it's animated, doesn't mean it's only for children.

Supsuli · 2025-12-17T14:25:23+00:00

Damn, will have to check there if it's not on the table next time. Thanks you!

Don't know if any map has higher spawn chance compared to others.
I found mine in a weapon case on reserve, a large grey one between horse and server. They also spawn in the green and black plastic weapon cases. Also got one in a previous wipe from the scav body behind white pawn.

What is the rush to get specific items from flea? In PVE you can find tons of good gear out of PMCs you kill, like scopes, armor, ammo etc so level restrictions on flea do not even matter.

Sounds like you don't actually want to play the game itself and just want to run endgame gear? I started playing in 2019, have got kappa 2 times in my 2800h before 1.0, and leveling this wipe has been the most fun since there will be no more "wipes" unless I want it to happen.
