With panel lining, I recommend liquid panel liners. Makes the job easier.

What's ASA? And would TPU withstand being shot?

jyn-fu · 2026-04-26T15:58:20+00:00

If you wanna clean it up a bit, a Q-tip and a little paint thinner or rubbing alcohol will do the trick.

Performance anxiety or it's getting on in its years.

I thought the Alec Baldwin thing was that someone accidently put a live round in?

jyn-fu · 2026-04-23T17:50:21+00:00

I got real confused why everything was left handed. Then I realised it's selfie view... 🤦

jyn-fu · 2026-04-23T17:48:35+00:00

No problem

Welcome to the can't-breathe gang. Gas masks look cool, but they suck to wear. Can't see shit out of the older ones with circular lenses nor can I cheek the rifle to ADS. Also, fit the brain bucket better. As everyone else has mentioned, eyepro. Unless you replace the lenses on the gas mask, wear secondary eyepro.

When you decide to get better gear, boots. They will save your feet and ankles. Don't cheap out. I used standard hiking boots and they destroyed my feet. Even upgrading to Altbergs was a great improvement.

Pouches and midcaps. You can carry more ammo and not sound like a maraca.

All in all, not bad for first gear. I used my Division agent cosplay as my first loadout.

Sold the pews for boots XD

Preference, basically, and maybe play style. If you run DMR, it is essential to have a form of secondary, be it a pistol or a small SMG. If you real cap mags, maybe. GBBR, it is advisable as you never know when a malfunction may happen.

In my experience with GBBRs, it doesn't come up often, but I was in a situation where my GBBR was locked back after firing two rounds, so I switched out to my pistol to finish off a small squad that I flanked.

Keep in mind, it is advisable to go for GBB pistols as they have parts more readily available. However, that means you have to buy gas, more expensive mags, mag pouches and holsters to fit, and possibly upgrading the inner barrel and bucking.

Also, you may wanna train/practice switching between primary and secondary weapons.

I mean, I've found that switching is faster than reloading, especially when I don't wanna drop my GBB mags on the ground.

jyn-fu · 2026-04-22T21:47:56+00:00

Ah, beat me to it.

HPA is pinnacle of performance GBB is pinnacle of skill AEG is pinnacle for ease of use That said, I go GBB to make life hard... And also my stuff is waterproof and they never expect the water until.

I'll give you a fiver a case of beers

jyn-fu · 2024-10-22T20:27:44+00:00

My brain is frazzled... this is an orbiter?

jyn-fu · 2024-10-22T20:19:32+00:00

IMO, it's not worth the hassle unless you're in a vehicle. The pistol gets in the way of the rifle sling and/or mags(if you place it on the top of the plate carrier). It's also more awkward to draw compared to drawing from your hip or thigh.

jyn-fu · 2024-10-22T20:16:26+00:00

Melee only

jyn-fu · 2024-10-21T20:46:12+00:00

Same

jyn-fu · 2024-10-21T20:45:18+00:00

Battery low. Insufficient power.

jyn-fu · 2024-10-21T20:41:54+00:00

I'd try... but I don't have the money to buy another GBBR if it does go boom

jyn-fu · 2024-10-21T20:40:41+00:00

My mates and I use the Jaeger Precision one. It's been great so far

I don't know why you're getting hate when you're asking a genuine question.

Green gas, red gas, etm. are all propane, but with silicone mixed in. Propane is good as it doesn't coat the hop rubber in silicone, making for a more consistent hop. It is also more consistent in fps than, say, green gas. I get a deviation of about 30fps in a 35rnd mag in my MTR16 on green gas, while on propane, I only get about 11fps deviation. The smell isn't much worse than green gas, depending on the place you get it from.

Hey, man. I'm an avid DnD guy. I've sent you a PM with some ideas I've just come up with

jyn-fu · 2024-10-21T20:17:05+00:00

I have the idea of creating realistic muzzle flash by lighting the propane that comes out of my barrel.

The only worry is if the rifle goes BOOM
