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

112 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!

Wanted to show off my custom MTW build I did. It is the MTW Forged series that is 10inch. Here is an after and before photo of what I originally had and what I have evolved the gun into over the years. I’ve had this gun for about 4 years now and it still kicks ass! Love to hear some comments or suggestions on the rifle if you have any!

What is this pattern laser-cut into the side of Specna Prime Receivers? It doesn't seem to be any code that I know of.

I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone know of an airsoft version of the Russian Heavy Assault revolver labled the “RSH-12”?

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.

The SI P90 Slaps

Thumbnail

44 Upvotes

I'm pretty impressed by this thing. From the factory the shimming was nice, the gears are beefy, the motor has a ton of torque, compression is outstanding, and the piston has full steel teeth.

It is a bit heavier than they say on the site. As it sits now with the lighter Krytac modular upper, it's 5 pounds 10 ounces. Most of the weight is the gearbox shell.

It takes krytac mags, krytac upper and hop unit, and a 260mm inner barrel fits very nicely without going past the threads.

I love it. I threw in a brushless motor, steel edgi tbb, 4uad bucking and nub, and used the krytac chamber it came with. All it needs now is a futuristic paint job to match.

My only gripe about it is that the SI muzzle device it comes with is plastic, pinned through with the only way of removing it to pull it out, and the front orange cap is not only pinned to the front of it, but super glued on. You also have to pull the pin out as the hole for it isn't drilled all the way through. So.. annoying. Manageable, but annoying.

I've just bought a new plate carrier and belt what do you think about it ?

The rest of the outfit will probably change but right now I'm too broke to change camo lmao.

(The sight of the p320 is a bit loose that's why I've struggled a bit to draw it I have to tighten it before going back on the field)

Haven’t owned an airsoft gun since I was 15 (I’m about to be 40). I was always into paintball but have done public matches at fields using rentals with my son and his friends. My son has been begging me to get a gun so we can do milsim events. Well, here we go!

•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 PIC Fully 3d-printed side arm

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

This is my fully 3D-printed airsoft sidearm. The original design was made by PROOF, and I received permission to modify it for commercial use. It shoots at roughly 100 FPS and uses a tension-powered system, so you don’t need to rack the slide between shots.

Also, how much would you guys pay for something like this? I'm thinking about selling something similar in my shop, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

GEAR PIC Built Myself a Workshop

Had this area in the basement for a long time, it was always an absolute mess and covered in a bunch of garbage we’d been keeping in storage.

I’m staring a new teching business, buying old boneyard guns, fixing, tuning, upgrading, and selling them. Hopefully some day doing custom build orders too if I can find clients.

Right now I’ve got on the bench an old JG ak from the early 2000s I’m modernizing, and a Frankenstein M4 with an elite force poly receiver that’s getting turned into a CQB analog sleeper.

Mom was tired of me using the kitchen table for it, which is fair, so I came down cleaned this whole thing off, put some legs in that pegboard, laid all my tools out, and stole one of the dining chairs we don’t use. I need a real chair eventually, but this works for now!

On the back wall I have (top left to bottom right), a crossman springer that was actually my first ever airsoft gun that my older brother got me for Christmas after he left for the coast guard, the UMP I bought when I made my first major purchase after my first job, an old JG G3 AEG from the early 2000s bought recently with the AK and is now my for sure my favorite piece, a like 10 year old lancer tactical I bought with birthday money as a kid for my first ever serious airsoft gun that I painted poorly and stuck a pulse rifle conversion kit I got in a BOA on, just a couple pistols nothing that special, and the limited edition pink G36 AEG with white mag :3
