got my cyma svu back from local fixer, cut down the inner to size and oiled up some insides, but he apparently fucked something up now because the selector lever is not working properly, it used to be semi-semi-fullauto on the lever, lowest position being full auto, but now its all semi
i plan to just return it to him to fix it, but if its easy i might try as well, i assume its only the selector not being hooked up properly
any guides for this? youtube is not exactly bustling with cyma svu vids

Any recommendations for an Eotech 551 replica? I've heard the brand Holy Warrior parroted tons on reddit as making the best replicas rn, but the problem is it's reddit, and they also don't have the 551 available, which is the exact type I need. I'd just buy the real thing, but they're not available for sale at any remotely reasonable price if they ever are.

Greenzone kit is coming together, finally got a hat. Also got a brushless motor, first time trying one. Great ROF with a 7.4v, surprisingly quiet too.
What hop-up buckings do you guys use? I tried a couple of Maple Leaf "MR" buckings with the matching omega nub and got terrible results, despite everyone raving about them. I guess these are only 100% compatible with ML barrels or something? The patch appears to be coming down into the chamber properly but something's clearly wrong. For now I'm just popping a prommy purple in there like I do with every gun I build, seems like that gives at least decent results just about every time. I've also got this ML 'Macaron' bucking, but now I can't remember if those supposed to work with standard barrels and nubs.

Macaron also pairs with Omega. I used to use only Macaron 60, but I’ve since now swapped to the Begadi Fly 5 rubber. Also look into getting a Begadi Nebo chamber for your AK. It’s so much better than the standard design

Lads, is there any internal working difference between the workings of the same model of gun from WE and KJW if one is only green gas and the other can also accept co2 other than the Co2 Nozzle is stronger?
I want to swap a KJW slide into a WE frame, and also put a Maple Leaf inner mod,
For what I've seen gas & co2 workings seem to be the same, and WE and KJW both make (metal) clones of Marui.

Do you think that, at some point in the future where humanity is less blood-thirsty, warfare will be replaced my a sort of MMA+ Simunition battle between 2 very large bands of people?
A large terrain full of obstacles, traps and hiding spots is given, there's a sort of point-awarding system and the battle is a mix of MMA, battle of nations, simunition airsoft and a bit of adventure racing. Something like this ,but in a huge playing field and with teams of 500- people and weeks on end of campaign.

It's the Tanaka AIR (spring powered). Great and beautiful gun out of the box but expensive. Biggest downside is that it's not made to be customized so you can't even change the spring without drilling and putting new screws in the cylinder which is what I'll have to do soon since it's just getting weaker. And yes, I'm an avid follower of National Socialism. When I go to play I measure the skulls of my teammates so that I know who to shoot in the back once the game starts.

Hiya guys, I use to mess around in the woods shooting my buddies with airsoft guns and miss being outside while larping with my boys. I'm feeling the old itch of this hobby and have been browsing evike eyeing things.....
Guys what would you recommend for an older guy (30) who wants to get back into the hobby? Couple things:
>Live in Chicago
so varied weather would assume AEG is only option is this regard
>Have $$$
been looking at tokyo maruis cuz I remember them being the grail AEGs and i see this fancy new NGRS. Are those worth the bite if I can afford it? If no...just go the CYMA route and upgrade??
>Ideally want an AK pattern
dual purpose as this would be great "training" moving and reacting with something akin to the firearms i *do* own. I do own a nice optic I could mount fit on a picitany rail, have slings, chest carrier, gear and such covered.
There's also the cool nuclear option of getting that KWC co2 Mini-Uzi I recall eyeballing as a kid w/ several magazines and some pimp-ass pistol. which also...

AEGs, HPAs and NBBs work in the cold. NGRS are neat but I've heard they are annoying to work on, better to go the CYMA AK route. The Mini Uzi might work in the cold since it's CO2, it won't be as practical as an AEG but it'll be more fun. For a sidearm I've had GBBs, a wingun revolver, cheap to expensive NBBs. The best and most practical has been my Y&P M9/92 NBB. This pistol can hop 0.3s, actually passes the chrono unlike most other NBBs, no lame fiddly stick magazines, has a decent trigger for a cheap NBB, and is supported by many holsters & mag pouches. Best price to quality ratio for an airsoft pistol. For 35 dollarinos I've had quite the time with that Beretta,

I like my LCT AK but upgrading a CYMA would probably be fine. Tokyo Marui mainly makes sense in Japan since they're tuned for the domestic market. I don't really trust NGRS since I've had two die on me and they're harder to work on than regular AEGs (not to mention that their usually overpriced overseas).

Anonymous at Fri, 12 Jan 2024 14:48:51 UTC No. 182554
All CYMA AKs have brittle pot metal front/rear trunnions, sight blocks and other external parts. Internally they're all basically standard fare. Pretty cheap and easy to upgrade the internals, but if the externals break, your whole receiver could be FUBAR. Personally, I'd keep to E&L or LCT where these parts are all steel.
Never seen a TM NGRS up close, but again, >die-cast aluminum receiver
Sounds like bad news in the long run. Probably the GOAT for the Japanese market, but we can do a little better in the US.

CYMAs AKs definitely have their place in airsoft. They're decent entry-level guns that can give you a lot of service time if you're careful with them. But recommending them to someone who was ready to spend almost $600 on a Marui NGRS is fucking stupid. Mistakes happen and cheap parts are going to break. Personally, I would rather spend a little more for something full steel in the beginning rather than replacing cheap parts as they break.

Guys just get sloppy under pressure. They'd trip while sprinting and try and catch themselves with the rifle, or be running full tilt and smack the end of the stock on a tree or something.

I've never seen a steel trunnion fail in airsoft, and I've seen a lot of broken AKs, more than listed ITT. LCTs aren't bulletproof, but they're a lot stronger. That sucks to hear about your VFC though.

I'm actually really curious about Arcturus, I'd like to check one out IRL. There's a lot of unique features about the internals that show great attention to detail, and offering them with Perun hybrids preinstalled is sick.

I haven't experienced too many obvious cheaters, most people who didn't call their hits might just not have felt it. Here all fields have strict rules that you're not allowed to argue with other players. If you suspect someone is cheating you tell the judges and they handle it.
But as others have already pointed out you shouldn't really play airsoft to "win".

Kwc uzi is great (atleast 95% of them). And btw the north east uzis dont even work 95% of the time.
Everyone hates the kwc uzis but it's just because they've been around for like 20 years amd everyone is retarded. Also desertionfox ragged on his old beat up example.
Kwc uzi blog-
There's 3 versions now. First Gen is closed bolt and discontinued. 2nd generation is most common and has markings on the bolt, high rof and no cooldown, being phased out now. 3nd gen has no writing on the bolt and has the heaviest bolt and kick but has a bit of cooldown. Fps varies. Some come at 450+ fps, some at 375.
They have different length nozzle inserts (i forget.the exact name of the part) to change the fps, and I got one that's metal 3d printed and it also lowered the rate of fire.
They kick hard which makes them impossible to aim, a custom mount for a reddot is required basically if you actually want to hit anything. Each mag eats a whole c02 capsule but I don't mind. If you hate how much c02 it eats then you can get a better sealing nozzlecup whi h also fits kwc deagle or use a hicapa nozzle cup. The hopups are 50-50, some work, some don't at all. If you get one that doesn't work then you get a hopup unit that uses an Allen screw to adjust the hop but it's 3d printed and a hassle to install.
I have a steel outer barrel with 14mm- threads but they may be hard to find now. The og foldingstock sucks (folds in on itself too easily) but I changed mine to a sig stock.
It's pretty much the best thing in the world. I'm on my third and about to buy a fourth. First and second ones were sold after I botched a metal body install on the 2nd and it killed me. After ghk m4, ghk ak, we m4, we g36, im back to the uzi. Those gbbrs were money pits with broken parts. Kwc uzis last decades.

Paintballfag here with a probable dumb question. I'm getting my CAW "grenade" launcher working again after sitting for a long time. When I go to try and charge the shell, it hisses plenty but does not fill at all. Ive replaced all the o-rings besides the very small one in the valve stem so im guessing that is the culprit. Are these valves as universal as the ebay claims say or do I need something more particular?

The gen 1 came out 30 years ago so yeah basically. The gen 1 would break the part known as the strike guide (gen 1 was closed bolt and used a striker similar to the way real closed bolt Uzi conversions work) which helped give them a bad reputation. The open bolt design is pretty bulletproof. If you keep the bolt and sear greased and the orings lubed it'll last your lifetime and your kids lifetime too. You may not like it but
the Uzi is forever. Keep riding the cock carousel of hype beast trash like the rest of these no taste having ass brainlet consoomer shills.

Amazing lmao. Like 20 years after it's been definitively proven that the mythical "green gas" is not some kind of previously undiscovered wonder element which has exactly zero uses outside of bb gun war and is, in fact, just propane, there are still morons clinging to the belief that it has some kind of magical properties simply because it's more expensive.

My STALKER loadout is finished, time to find le wishmaster like in anomaly mod :DDDD
The 3D printed double-barrel is a bit wobbly, the design isn't meant to have such a long barrel, but I wanted a long-barrel shotgun, although it still lacks around 200mm in barrel length to be actually proper 700mm, I might actually turn it into a sawn-off at some point. It works really well with MKIII cam870 shells though and the shell extractor works like a charm to my surprise.
The Makarov is a shitty 2J Umarex NBB Co2 I reduced its power by pulling the spring within the trigger unit apart to make it stiffer, so far it holds around 1J.
The AK is a run of the mill E&L essential 74u with cyma Rpk-74 mags I fakelited to the best of my abilities.

This sounds kinda edgy, but I really wish there were a way to make airsoft shotgun shells fire out of a real single or double barreled shotgun. I mean the base action is identical, you'd probably have to change the hammer springs to something way weaker to avoid destroying the shells. There's just so few choices in this category.

Yeah, I bought it like 10 years ago for like 50 eurobucks in an airsoft store. Issue is that it neither has a hopup nor is there any spare mags in 6mm available for it (I don't think they were ever sold to begin with).

Did what this kid did, although I used a bit less of the stuff to keep the somewhat orange-y basecolor. I also just coated it with a clear gloss lacquer, although I think more accurate would've been a matte lacquer, but I wanted them to be a bit glossy initially, it will fade off over time anyway.

I said nato because ever nato country uses those names for them and like I said before it is because they would be inseparable in spoken language from the simplified name for other models. Calling it the 47 helps differentiate it from shorthand. It would be like trying to refer to a specific movie that has a million remakes without specifying year. Besides kalling it the ak47 matchest the russian naming system where al and sks were outliers.

One, hes been wronge on kalash before and cannot even read the manual properly enough to know when they changed to type as a system of deferentiating within the iron curtain. Two, no one used "type" in manufacturing distrobution diagrams for tooling. Which again is a very normal thing for the soviets of the time. The russians practically didn't even use the naming of type is descriptors in history either.

A real Maverick 88 has an MSRP of $245, meanwhile the APS CAM870 that has a myriad of issues which will inevitably need addressing is $270-325USD (not including stuff like the Multicam painted and SAI guns) before shipping, at this point I wonder if there'd be a market for Mossberg to just make airsoft-only versions of the thing with permanently-modified-to-be/purpose-
That being said, that's just wishful thinking - Mossberg hasn't exactly paid attention to the airsoft market before and I doubt they're going to start now because of some dude typing up a storm in some random corner of the internet

I think that if there ever was an actually good all-steel airsoft shotgun it would be a huge liability for the manufacturer just because the action is so similar to a real gun. It probably would only take minor mods to convert it to fire real shells, at least once or twice. They have to build them out of crap because otherwise they'd be borderline real guns.

Thanks for the idea, but why spent 100+ eurobucks on a sidearm that I will draw once every 3 games? I looked into the ICS NBB Makarov as an alternative and maybe if I find a cheap used one I might get it one day. But I am stingy when it comes to stuff like that.
>>184380
>Find the design online or did you make it yourself?
https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gam
Very decent design, only issue I have with it is that with that overly long barrel it becomes a bit wobbly, so I might actually reduce it down to a sawn-off version, or just make a separate sawn off.
>>184401
They could make the barrels out of the shitty pot-metal zinc alloy stuff or something. Also iirc the cam870 designs do not fit 12ga anyway.
Anonymous at Sun, 28 Jan 2024 15:58:44 UTC No. 184455
>>184401
Setting aside that the CAM870 can't chamber real shells (Explosive Enterprises demonstrates this in his video on the CAM870 - he tries, but the chamber is intentionally too narrow for 12-gauge, and the original MKI models couldn't do it either) and thus it wouldn't be hard to do that as well, it's also possible to take design cues from the CAM870's bolt - the firing pin's way too wide, the bolt has no lockup (and the receiver/barrel has no accommodation for such things), and the bolt is outright incompatible with real 870 bolts
I get the concern, but if APS can manage it, I'm sure some other company can too

This one field I play at has lots of gopher holes. I walk the field owner's husky after the games for funzies. One afternoon I walked underneath a tree and my right foot immediately was sucked into a hole large and deep enough to go almost up to my knee. Of course I drop the leash and goofy husky dog goes jumping and running around. Luckily the only thing hurt was my pride and the doge came back and sniffed my face, and then I told her I'm good. She then waited for me to collect myself and then resume our walk.

Knee pads/elbow pads make it soo easy to dive/slide/crawl. Plus your joints get beat up less. You can wear light paintball style ones, normal external ones or built in kneepads. I have thin limbs so the paintball kneepads and elbow pads slide the least on me.

Does your field have a drag rule? If so what are your thoughts on it?
I honestly really hate it. It's one thing if you're just moving them arms-length or something, but it really doesn't take much for it to feel like complete bullshit. For clarity, I'm talking about when one player has been hit and is sitting in place 'bleeding out' and a team mate can place a hand on them, and then run to cover with them so they can get a revive.
Played today and managed to actually land a really hard shot on one guy. Fifteen seconds later his team mate comes from behind, uses him as a human shield while the two run backwards into cover, revive only takes five seconds, and now I got two guys on me who both know where I'm at. Bullshit.
I hate it when it's done to me too. I got hit in another game, completely fair shot. Some speedsofter kid on my team starts yelling to me to 'get ready' because he's gunna to the fucking drag. He sprints over to me, places a hand, and there we go, off to cover. Had to explain to the ref after the game what happened because the guy that shot me thought I just got back up and started shooting again. I'd have been 100% fine with just waiting for bleed out or until my team secured the area, instead I've got somebody thinking I'm cheating because 'someone else' wanted to use the stupid drag rule.

Our group used to do '80s Soviet in the spring/summer and '80s East German in the winter/fall. Eventually we started doing "modern" (back then) Russian since nobody else in our area did anything other than US Army or US Marines. Our group has since broken up and I've kinda tried to get away from eastern bloc stuff unless there's a scenario game that actually calls for it. I can't completely abandon it since all of my guns and gear are aimed at Opfor, but I've started wearing NATO uniforms again. So it's a mix of east and west for me, just the stuff I like.

It's a standard rule here that you can either
1. Both walk, you're not allowed to use your replica.
2. You actually carry or drag the guy and you can do whatever you want (run, jump, shoot) provided you are physically able.
So actually carrying your wounded is rewarded. and I agree walking rule is gay because all the guy has to do to not get hit is to walk wounded directly behind him like a shield.

My recommendation, as someone in Canuckistan who envies the prices other countries have for this shit: get a VFC AR, their 733 is like $350USD before shipping IIRC, steel FCG parts are readily available (can usually be bought at the same retailer you buy the gun from, for a rather inexpensive price if you get them in the same order, so I strongly advise that) and their mags are surprisingly cheap while being better-designed than most

You mean those TM clones? They are quite good, cm028 was go-to starter gun back in the day. A bit obsolete nowadays, externally and in terms of extra features like lack of mosfet or qsc, but still really tanky. CM.522 and 520 are all plastic (CM.028 only has plastic furniture and body, rest is metal), so those are more fragile externally, but they work really well.

I have a baofeng, never used it though. I've been playing almost 20 years and it's very rare to actually see squad-level radios utilized effectively. I typically come into airsoft with the assumption that things will be too chaotic and unorganized to get any use out of a radio. The KISS strat of just using call-outs can be almost as effective when you're just running with randoms (if they're halfway competent.) I can definitely see an advantage if you are part of an actual team that regularly plays together.

Yes, but only with friends/senpai. The coordination puts you on another level, even if you don't use mics (obviously, SOMEBODY has to, but a mic is too cumbersome for me sometimes). Everyone uses the baofengs. Nobody is a HAM operator. YMMV.

How do you guys usually do pushes into points or objectives if you encounter loads of entrenched players? Only way I've found that works is either flanking retreats or banzai charges with nades. It does help the field I play on has a a lot of verticality though.

Depends on the rules and tools available. Grenades, 1:1 trades... I never was a grenade man, but sometimes, there's just no other answer to busting into a room and you know there are several enemies pointing their guns at the door.

More than a decade? And when will someone make an actually good MP40 and STG44?

at least the STG is now somewhat feasible with midcaps. The internals are bog standard V2, so upgrades are easy. The problem is that it's AGM build quality of the cheapest chinesium
The MP40 is way worse because of the proprietary gearbox, and proprietary hop unit that doesn't use standard barrel or bucking so it's nothing but a wallhanger. I know SRC has made a AEG (EBB) version but it's so expensive and i can't find anything about the internals. I have shot the SRC CO2 MP40 and it's pretty cool but it's CO2 mags so i don't care about it

Guess I gave in after all. A guy was selling this thing for 80 eurobucks. Not used at all, 2 mags and with my favorite type of grip, not this nasty looking black one that usually is on the WE Makarov. On top of that I can either play it with around 0.7j without the suppressor on or bring it up to 1.2j with it on.

What are the pros & cons of buying expensive equipment to play airsoft as a hobby? The Doom Guy/Eternal helmet is $400+, but idk if it's worth buying or even safe.

Other than comfort, and self-satisfaction to some, it doesn't matter that much when you play once or twice a month.
>but idk if it's worth buying or even safe
If you doubt it, and it has no certificate to begin with, don't buy it.

usually 2 suppress while 2 sprint a cover near the enemy. Once the 2 front guys are in cover they suppress and the rear 2 advance then repeat.

It's an excuse to get a newer, nicer gun, but a tappet plate only costs a few shekels, might as well replace the part and have the 028 as a back up.

I have newer and nicer guns, I still used it as backup/loaner. It was my first replica, learned basics of tuning on it, so I have some sentiment to it.

Overpaid for it four years ago or so since it was my first time airshitting and I had zero knowledge but someone telling me it's a good deal. Had to replace fire selector and charging handle (twice, but didn't do it second time andj ust left it broken) out of neccesary things done to it. So in total I think it is finally moment to not finance into it anymore, especially when it isn't as much of backup gun anymore either. Used it as main for three years - definitely too long, but forced me to learn how to move or communicate better, in order to make best use of it.

can you realistically do airsoft without a car? I feel like the locations are usually so remote, the amount of stuff you need to bring and laws regarding carrying realistic toy guns here make it pretty much impossible to do this on public transportation yes?

I travel on bus with all my gear inside a backpack and a suitcase then catch a 10min ride with some locals to the game area. Before that I used to bike to the game area when I lived closer.
Only law is that I can't travel with the gun visible to the public.

Noob here. Went to a airsoft place and rented. Had a great time but I was in shorts and a t shirt and got hit one exposed skin and now have a permanent scar on my arm. I don't want airsoft pellet sized scars all over my body so I'm planning to fully clothe myself next time.
The problem is I live in FL and it's really hot here to be running around in full clothing. What's the minimum amount of clothing I need to prevent scarring? I'm not concerned about reducing the pain of getting shot, so I just want the minimum needed to prevent scar formation after getting hit. Willing to take clothing recommendations. I'm not planning on having any exposed skin at all for the next outing so I need gloves as well and something for my neck. Face is protected by a helmet.

Would this be enough to prevent scarring from airsoft just by itself with no other layers on my torso? Again I am not concerned with pain reduction, or even bruises that go away over time. I just do not want another permanent airsoft scar on my body.

A combat shirt would be lightweight and not too hot in the Florida humidity and protect your arms. Another option is to wear just a t shirt and those paintball sleeve/elbow pads. For your neck I recommend a kufiya/shemagh, the best brand is Hirbawi because they are actually sewn in the desert and are very comfy in extreme cold and heat. Gloves, get something that's full finger and padded.

Permanent scar. The skin is indented with scar tissue and I've had the scar since the last time I played a year ago.

Airsoft isn't for you. I don't know a single person who hasn't had some sort of permanent damage from airsoft. Usually nothing to write home about, but I've seen people nearly lose an eye (shooting glasses, not full seal), or got shot in the face and neck despite face pro.
But the important point here is that nobody cares (except for the guy who got spooked about his eye and never came back). Are you a gril or some heir to a fortune 500 cosmetic company? Why do you care so much about a scar?

I'd suggest wearing some long sleeve t-shirt and some sort of combat shirt/BDU ontop of it (best if made of some breathable cloth, for example british Desert DPM is good because it's 100% cotton). You can always pour some water over the shirt underneath; works for me in hot temperature. And drink a lot.

She is a lil QT pie. Have this BB bimbo as well. Whatever camo pattern you like, combat shirts are usually good quality even if they are cheap surplus. If I wear external kneepads because there's rocky/concrete surfaces I like Altas and Protecs. The Altas are incredibly light and comfy and the Protecs are heavier/warmer but have great protection (heh) and sliding ability.
