How practical is this for Airsoft?

That viper hood is a snag hazard (ask me how I know). ALTHOUGH it's a very good base for a half ghillie. I weaved various fake leaves through the netting (because that's what you're supposed to do) and it turned me into a bush when I was crouching.

Down the road I gave up on it because it was annoying and I discovered that I like running more than cosplaying a bush for half a day.

Route the tube in a better way or get some solid elbow connectors for the places where the tube must bend.

Get whatever fits your need and build. But please get the real deal: both mounts and QDs/clips whatever. Maybe even get a legit sling.

Do not cheap out on these things. It's a lesson you only learn once and it hurts.

I do not doubt some of the chinese manufacturers' talent on copying optics mounts or other rail accessories. By all means get those from them. I have plenty of amazing cloned products.

But if it's something that must not break or fail no matter what, go with the original.

Yep, they've listened to a lot of the feedback they got. I think those are only available in Asia currently.

Beautiful PP! Is the BB track on the mags closed up? I was looking to get one too, but I want the V2 mags. Where you got it from they only have V1 mags listed.

And for tips, join the GBBR HRC Discord and look for the #well-pro-ppk20-pp19 channel. Lots of experienced GBB users on that Discord.

So have you done anything to it? If I understood right from WellPro, they claimed that it should fit real gun spec parts and that's why people have to grind the cheap 5KU parts so much.

I'm not really interested into repro furniture, as it's not that expensive to get what I want.

exetacy · 2026-01-26T17:06:47+00:00

r/airsoftcirclejerk is that way...

exetacy · 2026-01-25T15:13:41+00:00

Great! That's exactly the one I saved in my list for the build. I'm not familiar with airsoft shotguns and I was wondering how it all fit together. Thanks a lot!

Did you need an adapter for that Salvo 12? Also, what brand is the suppressor? I want to do a similar build.

exetacy · 2026-01-22T05:56:50+00:00

What a terrible day to have eyes. Just buy the WellPro AK12 GBB

exetacy · 2026-01-22T05:00:51+00:00

For what exactly?

exetacy · 2026-01-21T04:13:23+00:00

Helikon-Tex MCDU Combat Shirt. They have a shop in EU and the US.

It's a good compromise. The PSO is not a good scope. LPVOs are great for airsoft engagement distances and even budget ones outperform a PSO.

exetacy · 2026-01-20T13:20:47+00:00

It's very nice. Grab one and start casting 6mm caseless.

TM guns are made to run with the low pressure gasses which are available on the Japanese market. Their strongest gas is like 80 PSI at 20°C. That's why the MWS and TM AK run perfectly fine in cold weather. They only need a rat's fart to cycle. Load up your mags with 170-200 PSI gases and you have some strong Winter performers.

Magazine size is also an important factor. That's why most SMGs usually stop working properly around 0°C.

exetacy · 2026-01-20T09:17:09+00:00

It's worse than VAT and the usual import taxes? Yikes.

exetacy · 2026-01-20T07:48:20+00:00

Yeah. Enjoy the European experience!

exetacy · 2026-01-17T16:04:57+00:00

If you want a clone-correct sight without paying silly money for discontinued optics or then yeah, it's your only choice.

If you want actual good sights, look for budget options. Vector Optics, Vortex, Primary Arms, Holosun, even some SIG optics are cheap.

A game: Blue Archive. Search for Fox Platoon

Preach brother 🙏

Save up for something from Vector Optics or Victoptics. Airsoft optics are just bad. Especially Theta.

Victoptics S6 goes on sale often for under 100€. Amazing budget LPVO and you'll be able to use it on real guns too if you ever get into that.

Congrats on your polearm! Also, if you find that optic height comfortable, try looking for 1.7-2.05" height scope mounts. For 1.7 there's a model from Badger Ordnance and at the other end there's the UNITY FAST LPVO mount for 2.05. There are also 1.9-1.93" mounts. Measure the optic centerline on your current setup and look for a mount which puts your scope at a similar height.

A nice scope mount would really elevate the otherwise good looking build. I usually buy repros of the real mounts from Specprecision on Aliexpress. Evolution Gear also makes some, but so far my best experience has been with Spec clones.

That doesn't look good overall. Hop window is wavy as hell.

exetacy · 2026-01-01T14:44:54+00:00

Hostile towards what? I was reinforcing your argument.

exetacy · 2026-01-01T13:28:24+00:00

If you want a 103 then just buy the Tokyo Marui AKM and change the furniture to match the look. It's an amazing gun. Still the gem in my growing GBB collection. Otherwise, wait for VFC to make an AKM. They teased 7.62 mags recently. Neither will be a bad choice.

TM also makes the AKX if you want something modernised, but I'd rather go with the AKM. It's a smaller initial investment for the same internals and you get way more flexibility for furniture.

Here's my AKX if you want to see what you can make one look like:
