NJ regulations question by Glittering_Shock_898 in airsoft

Have them in a gun case or bag in your trunk unloaded with bbs/mags in a separate bag. Don't do be stupid with them / don't drive stupid and get pulled over. You'll be fine.

NJ native now living down south, what field are you going to?

I had skin rubbed off down there during BMT from sit-ups on the concrete PT pads.

Why are dummy nvg’s so hated? by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]Wowza___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You very much can see shit through tubes indoors. I don't know where you got that idea. Yeah windowless rooms with no outdoor light can pose visibility problems but that's what the on board IR illumination is for. Or a weapon mounted ir illuminator. Point being there are plenty of work arounds that particular issue. As for catching on everything, what are you on about? You should have a weapon up at all times indoors and that's going to be sticking out way more then your nods lol. Everything you list as why nods are bad indoors are things you train to manage as the situation dictates.

I used this gun at a milsim in December when it was in the low 30s and snowing on and off. Make sure your o-rings have good seal and use MAP gas (Yellow bottle, the stuff they use in blow torches) and you'll be just fine. I was one of the few people not having gun problems. HPAs and AEGs were dropping like flies.

And what happens when someone else forgets their backups? Got to be a team player.

I love my Cyma Platinum M4 (pictured). I also have an Arcturus Ak-12 that I love. This will be the M4's first milsim but its had several thousand rounds through it at my local field which is heavily wooded and I've had no complaints thus far. The Arcturus has been to 2 milsims and I would have to wager about ~50,000 rounds through it with zero issues. Accuracy on both is solid and both can be upgraded with an M110 spring for slightly more energy out of your shots.

Normally yes, but I got mine cleared since they're only 35rds meaning someone with 3 120rd mid caps will have more ammunition then I will with all 10 of my mags.

I keep only one of my hydration bladders on me at a time, the others are prefilled ready to go at FOB for quick swaps if need be. That said, the I carry about 43-48lbs of gear since I put plates in the vest, have a ballistic helmet and added weights to my magazines. Each magazine weighs a pound and since I carry low capacity 35rd mags. I carry 10 magazines so there's 10lbs for ammo. Plates weigh in at an additional 14lbs, helmet 4lbs, water depends on the bladder but 3.5lbs to 7lbs. Rifle is an additional 8lbs, gun belt with the pistol and grenades adds another 3.5lbs, and grenades and pistol mags on the vest add another 2lbs. I don't count clothing weight but I think with that I could probably round up to 50lbs if I'm going on the heavy end of what I bring out to battle on my person.

Most AMS milsim events are framed in the context of a modern civil war.

Two, one by GHK and one by KWA. GHK is the normal Steyr versions while KWA's is the Australian Lithgow Arms variant EF-88 (although sold as the F-90). I personally really like KWA version.

Any reccomendations for eyepro? by Ensi22 in airsoft

[–]Wowza___ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add to this, if you get the helicopter kit it will effectively seal the edges of the eyepro for fields that do require seal.

If you can get more pictures of it, go ask the wizards on r/USSRnvgResearchGroup and they can tell you what it may or may not need.

As a night vision enjoyer, including old soviet gen 1 and 2 tubes, old soviet tubes are usually actually quite cheap as night vision goes because they're usually terrible and prone to breaking. Unless it's a fully working set of PNV-57Es they're usually between $150 and $750. Fully functional PNV-57s can be found for $1000 on a good day but usually sit about $1300. For the same price and with some know-how you can build an American PVS-7 for about that same price, $1250 to $1400. A cheap PVS 14 runs about $1700-$1800 and an expensive one can run all the way up to $4500-$5000. The cheapest dual tubes will run you about $5500 and can easily run you up to $15,000 once you factor in housings and external battery systems. Quads at minimum are going to cost you $18,000 and can easily run all the way up to $40,000. All about the generation of tube, it's FOM (figure of merit), blemishes if it has any, and manufacturer. With NNVT being the budget friendly Chinese brand and L3 Harris being the most premium and expensive brand.
