First GBBR and I'm hooked!

Am I in disadvantage (especially in the open)? Yes. But bro, feeling during shooting is FIRE!

Parts and accessories list:

  • Double Eagle Ghetto Blaster 7,94" (of course)
  • DE Stanag Mags with OG Magpuls and ali .300 Blackout bands
  • Also I'm testing EMG Lancer L5 mag, no issues so far

Insides:

  • Maple Leaf rubber (don't remember which one, sorry) and Omega nub
  • Ra-Tech NPAS
  • Slong Airsoft steel buffer
  • Weaker spring from a set (I might change it, although the recoil is nice the bolt seems to bounce)

Outside:

  • Eshooter Smoky BT tracer (recently with 3D printed front cap for looks and less flash)
  • Vertical front grip by Idunno (looks like Magpul RVG clone)
  • JJ Airsoft Mod 1 Mlok covers
  • PCS QD red dot with Vector Optics lens protector
  • OG Magpul MOE grip
  • Recently chinese G43 magnifier with 3D printed killflash

WA Beretta M92FS NAVY.

2009 release, Carbon Black (blasted and polished) finish. Original frame (with a notice about licensed trademarks on the dust cover) that was broken has been replaced with one from M92FS Die Hard CB model to keep the same finish.

Replica of the first model that used Brigadier slide - the very rare Beretta 92FS-Navy prototype with heavy slide and steel frame which was displayed during Shot Show 2009 in Beretta booth.

Discussion Would a VFC HK416A5 upper work on a VFC M16/M4 lower?

2 Upvotes

I heard that this how HK416s were first deployed in real life?

This is for when I want to "downgrade" the A5 to a D for certain early GWOT impressions.

Does anyone have this kit installed and can show it?

Discussion Should I buy a real holographic sight if I already have a good replica?

Post image
52 Upvotes

Well, I was told to always go for a real holographic sight. But I have a Eotech replica(The S1) from holy warrior. I usually use my rifle as a shooting range rifle and I never and will not take part in a wargame shortly. It never was a problem during my shootings btw and it works perfectly fine. But lately I saw a new holographic sight called ”vigil” or “A02 max” from zentinel defense and the price is quite friendly compared to Eotech’s. So to simply put, I can’t make up my decision and are stuck in this awkward state. I wondered what u guys would do If u ran into the same scenario.

Review First Purchase

This thing exceeded all of my expectations by a long shot. Granted I had heard and read good reviews, I think I wasn't going to be satisfied until I experienced it firsthand.

10/10- overall appearance and realism compared to the actual model

10/10- on performance and functionality!

10/10 on the GBB feature. My first GBB buy, and I absolutely love it!

Troubleshooting We tech nozzle troubleshooting

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I recently bought a we tech gbb ak74un off of KYA (I made sure to get Ra tech parts), and purchased a NPAS for indoor fields. As I was installing the valve into the nozzle I noticed the spring had an end that was bent towards the inside of the middle of the spring. It was tangled so I fixed that and then decided to clip the piece since I didn’t hav ethe tools to bend it back. Because of that I couldn’t adjust my fps without taking the nozzle apart again. But then when I would do that and adjust the valve itself the piece would just reset and give me the same low fps no matter how much I adjust it? Please help

I heard some people are triggered by this and I wanted to add my part to their heart attacks.

If you managed to read past this point here is why: I just wanted to know if it's possible. Ergonomics are really worse than any other stock and I already removed it and will only bring it out on special occasions. :D

Ask me anything, or don't.
