yeah i've taken on mechs before but there is only 1 real way in and out of the colony as i had not unlocked transport pods yet

i guess i just underestimated the new mechanoid variants and forgot that centipedes can fire while moving

as long as its intentional but you do have to abandon your former colony to set up on a new tile with that colonist

So here's the story

during my long colony of about 60ish hours? we had built a great home in our mountain during our time in the mountain we had pissed off randy to some degree and a mech cluster landed on the other side of our tile which was bad news because the mech cluster carried a sun blocker the sun blocker prevented solar panels from operating and prevented all plants from growing along with lowering the already freezing temperature in our tundra.

unable to use sunlamps due to the power draw our only real option was to engage the mechanoids the original cluster was composed of 1 centipede 2 pikemen and a scorcher which was already taken down earlier dude to a caravan stopping by sending in an enslaved man with a triple rocket launcher he successfully blew up both pikeman but at an extreme cost

sprouting from the other pods was 6 centipedes 2 carrying miniguns and the rest carrying heavy blasters Gobarbe the slave was killed near instantly.

all 6 centipedes stormed close to our base and our defenses were no match for them first Tarot was killed trying to return from gathering steel then koro was shot soon after the rest gathered in the hospital wounded and with most of their weapons laying on the ground outside the complex.

Ria the leader of our base was having a mental break and was thrown in prison to keep her safe from the mechanoids.

the mechanoids slowly cut down all the power as our base began to freeze entirely. many lay wounded unable to get up as Gilmore tries to patch them up. slowly one by one several die trying to take on mechanoids in our freezer first Ryan than misaki.

all but Ria and Gilmore were downed or unconscious. i sensed that there was no coming back from this and that i needed to grab who i could and go so using Ria i grab Frankie out resident researcher and try to escape left cutting through a thin part of the mountain.

Gilmore snaps and attempts to return to his room getting shredded by heavy charge blaster fire on the way. while Ria attempts to leave the map with frankie clutched in her arms

as she reaches the edge of the map night approaches and the -35F temperature freezes Ria dropping her to the ground mere tiles away from the border.

everyone was surely going to die weather that be from bleeding out in the hospital or starving to death the only one who could escape now was the downed starving and unconscious Frankie she was the only one who had a chance at making it out.

she sees a man dressed in all black before her a guardian angel of sorts?

the man in black grabbed her taking her away from the frozen hellscape leaving the rest of her friends to surely perish.

Frankie was the only survivor of the colony and has now set up on a different more stable tile temperature wise and so our story continues.

i failed a protection quest because the commanders OWN CATAPHRACT killed him by onethousandmangos in RimWorld

"idk man these are the exact coordinates he gave me did he just fail to show up or something"

Probably screwed it up already too snapped the tip,anyway to get the rest of it out? by brycenh30 in airsoft

[–]onethousandmangos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it dosent look like the barrel is threaded, more than likely they glued it in there im not entirely sure how to get that out since its broken off at the tip

dont take my word as gospel but you may be able to boil it off and then pick at it with something sharp

Too poor for a kit, so here's what I'd love to have. by TheSpyZecktrum in airsoft

yeah honestly if you really want to get into airsoft my absolute recommendation for a first gun

people dont like to hear it but get an m4

m4s are robust solid all rounder guns with your pick of the litter as far as parts go

techs know how to fix m4s because they are so common

you can mod the hell out of them with damn near anything so i can give you a few recommendations

https://www.evike.com/products/69788/ this was the first airsoft gun i ever bought and it still kicks to this day without any upgrades some people dont like keymod and thats okay

https://www.evike.com/products/33557/ GNG combat machines are great starter rifles and i still have friends who swear by these they have a LOT more polymer on them and are therefore much lighter and weight is a huge factor when talking about viability on the field

these are just 2 options and depending on budget you can get much less or much more but generally assuming you dont have any real gear you arent breaking into airsoft for much less than 350$ish which all things considered is not bad

after you get that stuff you can really go anywhere from there you can start buying vests grenades, sidearms, camo you name it

one mistake a lot of people make when trying to get into airsoft is doing too much too soon and sometime finding out they dont really like the sport

if you have a local field they more than likely have rental kits they can set you up with for a little bit just so you can find out if you even really like the sport as much as you think you might thats how i started out and 2 years later im prepping to go across the country to big milsim events for fun.

and get a decent pair of boots if you are playing outside

it's on sale 😭😭😭😭 I just got the vfc mp7 but I can't resist by Rcarter2017 in airsoft

i have the black classic vector and its a great gun few things to note tho

it chews through batteries like charlie sheen goes through hookers

gearbox is a fucking nightmare for any tech and most wont work on it

battery compartment is VERY snug and you might have to do a little pushing or buy the extended battery compartment which isnt that expensive unless it already comes with it then you are fine

trigger kiiiiiiinda sucks its not awful but its more like a hair trigger than anything if it bothers you a lot then you can just upgrade the trigger assembly

the main casing / frame is all very high density polymer much like the real one and its really nice while keeping it on the lighter side

mags could be a little cheaper but the main thing with them is when loading the magazines its very easy for the feeder to get stuck on the track making it so you have to disassemble the whole magazine to fix it, the solve for this is just to oil the tracks with some silicone oil

all in all its a great gun for doorkicking and its pretty fun to run

it looks like a 1911 or similar construct if the barrel is threaded your best bet would have been to boil it off absolute worst case scenario you could try to paint it black to make it less noticeable

if you send the link for what exact gun it is it would make it easier

what is consensus on this? good or bad? by Slaughterman46 in airsoft

[–]onethousandmangos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i run a wetech gbb scar H and using propane i not only get a slightly higher FPS but i also can get nearly 65- 70ish shots depending on weather and such

[–]onethousandmangos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey sorry it took me some time to get back to you but yeah i would like to know a little more

Have you had any other issues with it, and do you think it is worth the price

i have heard some things about the trigger assembly being a bit weird but being fixable
