GUIDE Event alert flyers: a way to let the subreddit know about your event

110 Upvotes

Hi all!

After a not-so-recent poll, we've been developing a set of rules to allow event notifications to be set up. These notifications are posts in the form of "flyers"!

Flyers are essentially an image used to display important information about an event, subject to the new flyer rules.

Hopefully they'll be useful, enjoy!

•Back view at the 4th pic

Idk why I came up with this idea,perhaps just boring af and recently spent my time hopping on helldivers2.

I bought some realtree camo fabric and cut them into what I need and made my backpack through.

After an hour working on that,I spent another hour thinking whether should I post it on the airsoft or the other sub.

And I’ll post it to both anyway.

GUN QUESTION People who have bought CYMA plat AKs, what's the overall experience? I either hear nothing but praise from reviews, or just nightmare fuel about them on reddit. Debating on either a new Cyma AK-74 or getting a used E&L 74, but hearing about the mosfets dying isn't really inspiring me with confidence

The Gordy is far more iconic, but here's my crack at the other Black Hawk Down CAR-15. Although given the anachronisms in the build, this can only be considered a clone of a movie gun rather than a clone of anything actually used in Mogadishu

I bought this mostly as a joke knowing it probably wouldn’t handle a bb but to my surprise it held up well with only small dents from bbs.

Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/s/FtpRCw4cct

My "Franken HK416" is now complete!

A mashup of Jinming HK416 gel blaster and VFC externals, with a tuned & shimmed E&C V2 QD standard gearbox and motor. Clocks in at 419fps with 0.2g BB (≈1.63 J).

Precisions: standard King Arms brass 363mm inner barrel, with a standard Cyma chamber and 4UANTUM hop-up bucking.

Printed a custom barrel nut to make the VFC handguard fit the upper receiver, together with plenty of filing. Fits a regular/VFC screw set mount well. Repainted the lower receiver and refinished the markings.

Attachments: replica DBAL-A2 and T1 replica from Holy Warrior.

GUN QUESTION How accurate are we talkin'?

How accurate are your best rifles? What kind of shots can you hit consistently at what range?

I bought this gun last year, been shooting it a while. Put a cheap Tasco .22 scope on it. Settled on .36 BBs. After futzing with the hop up, I can hit a beer can at 40yds 50% of the time, light to no wind. Seems better than any of my other guns. Is that about as accurate as I can hope for?

Closest to that is my CYMA M14 (now an M21😊 ).

GUN QUESTION Does anybody know of an airsoft replica of the AUG A3?

Post image
59 Upvotes

I see replicas plastered over every major airsoft website but none of this specific kind, it may be a licensing issue or is it just something that hasnt happened yet? If anybody knows where I might be able to find one, letting me know would be greatly appreciated. This is one of my dream guns and using it in airsoft sounds super cool to me

GUN QUESTION spare mags?

32 Upvotes

How many spare mags do you usually buy for each gun?
I kept buying cheap USW mags whenever I found them, and before I knew it, I had way too many Glock mags. I’m curious what everyone else usually ends up with.

GUN PIC Current collection after 2 years of financial irresponsibly

Post image
133 Upvotes

This hobby has consumed me and a good chunk of my income for 2 years now and I wanted to share what I’ve gathered during that time.

A lot of these have come from trades which is what I enjoy doing the most. I love seeing what other replicas have been loved by other owners and swapping gear for others to enjoy

Left side top to bottom:

-Cyma DD5 SBR with gate aster and dark matter brushless motor (my first born child)

-Silverbac SRS with bolt M engine

-ares amoeba with fusion engine

-gen 3 mtw with kwa quad rail

-gen 2 mtw with SRU bulpup kit

Right side from top to bottom:

-Arcturus trinity armament with Gate Titan

-Zion Arms r15

-Mtw 308 with silent industries hop unit

-cyma m14

-KWA Q10 with Mtw rail

-vfc? Mp5 with gate aster

I love the point I’m at in my collection and I am totally content and will absolutely for sure no longer be buying anything else…
