ah that stuff. Yea i agree but i don't think it's exclusive to Airsoft, but yes people giving advice or just straight up parroting shit because someone popular told them what to think is annoying af. I generally just don't care about what people have to say until i know for a fact they own the shit they talk about. On the ghilliefags i think i can count on one hand the amount of times i've heard or talked about Airsoft youtubers lol. Generally don't see too many ghillies and if i do it's always the shitty aliexpress one or novritsch that also sucks. Ghillies in general i feel are kinda overrated. I use a viper hood and i feel like that's plenty to stay concealed. People in general have kinda t-rex vision so if you sit still most won't see you.

Decided to run my rookie zone kit last weekend. Situational awareness under this mask is hilariously bad, breathing on top of that also is a bitch. But was fun nonetheless.

I think that is mainly limited to the US and UK. The airsoft community over here is very small, so if you are a retard word quickly spreads and everyone will know you for being a retard. This also translates to the online sphere, so people are barely able to hide behind pseudonyms and anonymity.

It wasn't that hot so it was not as bad as one would expect. During sprints and heavy breathing it would fog when breathing out, the moment I breathed in it would clear up again.

I thought about doing this with my PBF. We have a laser engraver at work so cutting the circles lenses out of some poly would be easy. Ended up selling the mask since nobody does theme games anymore.
I've also thought about taking an old Soviet filter, ripping all of the internals out and installing a fan instead to get some airflow into the mask to maybe keep it from fogging.

Speaking of which, is the lack of themed/scenario-driven airsoft games limited to my area or has that been the way the whole of airsoft has trended? We used to have tons of cool games. Vietnam-themed games with half the guys doing their best impressions of Viet Cong, Cold War themed US/Nato vs. Warsaw Pact. Op. Irene had people playing as Somali civvies/militia. I remember hearing about cop/robber type games and post-apocalyptic themed stuff too, although I didn't get the chance to go to one.
Everything nowadays is just green vs tan. Sometimes they throw in 'Civil War 2.0' with no other context, sometimes they don't even bother to do that. And 'big' events are pretty hard to find, most of the fields are pay-to-play where half the people show up wearing paintball clothes. That's WAY less fun than 'Fortunate Sun' and coolie hats.

Multicam was used from 2004 until the late 2010s by the US military and a host of other countries (some of which still use it), as well as numerous imitations of it by even more countries - a large amount of known gear and tactical clothing manufacturers make stuff using it, a decent chunk of used gear and uniforms can be found in it, and it's an easy way to have something that at the very least conveys the simple aura of imitating a modern NATO combatant
It's not the most original, and it doesn't blend into *every* environment, but I get why it's a common sight among those wanting to make a generic soldier kit - even if I too wish people would pick something more interesting every now and then

Airsoft attracts major tryhards because of its military and competitive aspects, a few % of the entire playerbase are milsimfags and speedfags with 0 self awareness, and the result is drama and cringe. Also teenage boys.

Most airsoft suppressors have screw-on ends. Sometimes they're filled with foam. If you want to throw a tracer in there, you'll need a way to align the inner pathways so it doesn't ricochet against any walls, as well as take up the slack so that the tracer unit stays put. Nothing tragically difficult other than having to take everything apart to access the controls. The main difficulty you'll have is how to engineer the tracer unit a clear opening out the front for the LED effects.

The current gun from the current movie/videogame/war is always going to be the biggest seller. I'd love a gbb Ruger P85, S&W 4506, etc. but companies won't make that kind of stuff a priority as their money makers are the latest gen of Glock, AR, etc., we just have to wait for the occasional bone to be thrown our way.

The airsoft industry, since its inception, has been all about replicating guns that're popular and recognizable - starting with movie guns, but nowadays whenever a military gets a new AR it's easier to replicate it than it is to, say, design a Mini-14 or Hi-Point from scratch and market it successfully
Sure, esoteric AR builds are designed for a niche, but given that TM-spec AR AEGs are pretty much the most common platform in airsoft those guns will also just be appealing by virtue of familiarity; doesn't help that the alternatives are often considerably more expensive for equivalent or worse performance while making use of unique external/internal parts, which is often a dealbreaker for the average consumer that just wants something that'll work decently well and can be worked on by most techs
All this to say: it's neither the industry's nor customer base's fault that popular things people recognize sell well and get large amounts of press, while obscure niche guns for obscure niche people naturally don't receive as much attention
It's gotten a lot better nowadays - more companies than ever seem interested in starting to reach out a little further and try something new, but it's always going to be an uphill battle to go from designing to selling platforms that by their very nature are only going to be purchased by a very specific subset of people (hell, a lot of the niche stuff that's been released in recent times is arguably coming out because of media suddenly bringing them to light - like the Raptor Grach and Kizuna PL-15 coming out after Tarkov's rise in popularity brought a lot of funky Russian guns to the community's attention)
TL;DR supply and demand drives the market, there's a lot of demand for guns people recognize so they get more attention and the industry provides it
At least the 3DP community exists to make more niche designs a reality, even if it comes with the limitations and up-front costs associated with such a thing - GBB Hi-Point when

Hard to recommend something so unique for each person. Pants with built-in kneepads are great, but I, too, prefer external kneecaps because of how rough I am on my knees. Personally, I like the old school kneecaps from when I did lots of skating. They're cheap enough and I can wear them loose closer to my shins because I don't need the AT my knees.

Quite neat painting, though the fact grip is mounted with zipties and blocks the charging handle tickles my autism. I'm thinking about painting my cyma's XM16E1, but I am still debating whether I should try making faux wood grain, some pseudo camo, or just painting furniture with OD or RG rattle can.

Yes I did block the charging handle. When I first got the gun I stayed very neat to keep it able to move, but I've chilled out since it really isn't functional to anything except changing the hop and I have that dialed in. FWIW, the grip is on a segment of rail that is held on with hose clamps that are covered in electrical tape. The zipties are only holding on the flashlight which was a last minute addition. The eventual dream is to find a surefire GripLight to replace both pieces.
If I had a CAR I'd paint the whole thing, but if you are hesitant, some self stick camo wrap gives you camo with easy ability to remove it with no residue

* my brain thought CAR but the comment stands for M16. You can also make a camo wrap with a length of 550 cord with various scraps of camo tied to it. Put a thick rubber band (Ranger band if you are feeling like doing it really tight) on the front and back of the barrel and then wrap the 550 around it. Another easy to remove or modify way to camo

KJW G17 or Hi-Capa (in essence, a double-stack 1911), while they're available with CO2 mags I'd recommend using gas magazines instead - they're based on two of the most common designs on the market (the Tokyo Marui G17 Gen3 and Hi-Capa), so mags are plentiful and there's plenty of aftermarket if you want to upgrade things (or you manage to run the thing hard enough to break something - my G17 hasn't had any issues in the years I've had it, though)
They do also make single-stack 1911 replicas, but in my opinion they aren't worth it since AFAIK unless you deliberately down-load the magazines, they require CO2 in order to have usable gas efficiency which will beat the hell out of the gun - their Hi-Capa (KP-05/KP-08 are the standard 5.1" models, KP-06 is the 6" Xcelerator model which uses a special lengthened slide and frame) and Glock (KP-17, or KP-13 for the "Glock lawyers said no" version sold by some retailers) are the safest bets

Co2 cartridges are way more consistent than gas mags and can actually handle cold, though Co2 pistols have to be built better because well... it's like what? several times more pressure than gas?
Anonymous at Thu, 19 Dec 2024 15:23:07 UTC No. 217892
>>217878
At room temperature:
CO2 - 800PSI
propane - 120PSI
This does mean it holds functioning pressure down to lower temperatures, but it also means it's beating the piss out of your gun, and not every gun sold with CO2 mags is actually redesigned to handle CO2 pressures long-term
Add on that CO2 is susceptible to far more rapid and severe cooldown with any significant amount of fire and it becomes obvious why your higher-pressure gas of choice for colder temps should be MAPP/propylene gas loaded into standard gas mags, not CO2 loaded into CO2-specific mags

Fun is subjective. You can have a lot of fun playing with single shot shotguns for $20-40 though being quite outclassed, or pay $100-150 for cheapest gameable AEG's. Probably $200 is a starting point for getting everything you'll need. $300 is much more comfortable than that, though.

a while ago i got me a cyma svu, its a piece of work with the 4 gear box with the high gear ratio and absolutely no space to upgrade or tinker around especially with the proprietary bullshit
brought it to a guy who does this for a living to shorten the inner so i can remove the original suppressor and slap on a tracer unit, besides that he opened it up to lube it and whatever
fucker was suffering with the reassembly so its visibly fucked up on multiple areas including one of the battery cables being chipped, which i had to fix with some heat shrink, and had to maneuver it around so i could fit the battery again and actually connect it too
thing is, he fucked up something good because now the full auto is not working, he was babling on about a switch that maybe overturned but didn't help me at all, now tho i checked the gun again because i had a feeling i have to charge it, its been collecting dust for a while, and now the full auto worked for a hot minute, after which the battery died
removed and charged it for about half an hour, put it back on and now the full auto mode is dead again
what did this retard fuck up, how, and can i fix it by just disassembling and putting something back to its place? its a modernized version of the svu with rails and such, and apparently cyma has no insttructions for it, only for the older dragunov style one

Hello I'm a retard and trying to get into playing airsoft. Does anyone know if US stores like Evike still ship to NY state? Amazon cock blocked me when I was trying to compare prices.

So safe and semi both work correctly? When you put in on full, can you hear the gearbox trying to turn over or is it completely silent?
If it's the former, I would start by getting a whole different battery that is 100% known to be fully charged and working correctly and try it again. Electrical issues can sometimes render the battery FUBAR. If you had a short, it may be toast. It may have just enough juice to cycle semi a couple shots but not full auto.

the solution they have is pretty retarded, the traditional ak handle to switch safe/semi/auto is actually semi/semi/auto, and theres a safety at the trigger
safe blocks the trigger completely, can't fuck up much there, all 3 states on the handle is safe
the battery should be fine, when im saying its struggling to do auto, i mean it just fires as regular semi, like its turned semi, and not like theres not enough juice, i played like this anyway and it did well for a 2 hour session, at home fucked around with it some more and it was still going strong

With AKs, sometimes you'll have a wire or something inhibiting the movement of one the selector gears, usually on the back left. That could cause it not to go 'quite' all the way down, or in your case not be able to reach full-auto.
I would just take the GB out of the receiver and give it a look. It may work fine outside the receiver, and just need more careful reassembly. Wouldn't think that you'd need to open the GB. The only thing that seems like a pain is the trigger being in front of the GB. Hopefully the wiring is long enough to pull it out without disassembling anything further.

There were reports from ~2017 - pandemic of really ham-fisted glownigger infiltration attempts of random reenactment groups. Obviously, they tended to target the WW2 German groups, but I heard some milsim groups were caught up in it as """potential militias""". It really ramped up around the boogagloo scare (2020-21) when some of those groups had to keep "we disavow and condemn ______" letters on file in case their more /pol/itically motivated members attended a protest in full kit + patches. A few have actually had to use them.

Anyone want to buy my E&C XM177 before I dump it onto Hopup? I got a new AR so this has to go. I never fielded it, but I did assemble/disassemble/reassemble it a bunch of times to create different configurations so it's a little scuffed on the outside. Not that it matters much since most people turn it into a retro loadout and paint it like Blood Diamond
$120 + shipping from USA
There's one on eBay rn for $140.
Waiting for a battery to charge so I can take a video showing it fires, but checking connectivity with a multimeter shows that the circuit completes when I pull the trigger, if that helps.

Simple, easily defined limits and objectives. And consistency of those between different refs at the same field.
When a ref starts talking about different phases of the game having different rules and spawn points I just know it's going to be a mess.
Similarly there is a field that is conveniently close to me but different refs will impose different boundaries for the same game type. They also won't always be super clear on what the boundaries are.
Seriously you guys don't need to spicy up the gameplay with wacky novelty rules, because all it does is cause the bad kind of chaos as rentals and dumb teens who weren't paying attention just break them

Total newfag here, got my first gun (S&T UMP9) a few days ago. How do I unscrew this thread protector? Shit's just not budging to the point I'm not sure it's me being a lanklet, me not having some tool/using some technique I don't know I need, or just me rotating it the wrong way. The threading is -14 and I was mainly trying counterclockwise (which also rotates the barrel itself a few degrees and makes it noticeably more wobbly than if I rotate it back into its original angle clockwise, which is why I'm afraid to put too much strength into it).

I’ve watched a few reviews and knew the plastic furniture was creaky and weak but haven’t heard anything about the rear sights probably because all the reviews are almost straight out of the box. Sad truth is it probably won’t be seeing to much field play (not a big scene here). I’m just a Rhodesia sperg, and want it for snap shooting targets around my family property. Dad is no guns because of how loud they are and think target practice is just redneck tier hootin and a’hollerin. Ironically we own guns and thinks he will be John Wick in an emergency.

So... I'm a poorfag.
And I am going to play on an outdoor field on Sunday. I have the bare minimum- a springer shotgun ($40Game Face Voodoo) and a co2 pistol ($37Umarex Combat Zone) and a $30 mask I got on Amazon. Already have a ton of co2 carts and coworker gave me a tub of .20g BBs.
Am I going to get laughed at? I feel like some kid showing up in a batman costume while everyone else is a bodybuilder wearing a black belt when I look at the gear people have in videos.
Feels bad not being able to plunk down $200 just for a basic gun and gas... I spent less than $200 on duplicate pistol and magazines and spare mags for the shotgun, in case they break during play.
Does anyone else run a Cheapskate Rig? What does it look like?

Nah dude, nobody will laugh at you, a lot of people started like that. My advice is that if there's an objective/prop/flag that needs to be rushed for, always volunteer to be the guy that runs for it while others cover. If there are medic rules, try to hold towards the back and run up to heal downed teammates when/if possible. You can still make winning plays with garbage equipment.

It's frustrating how difficult it is to compare motors apples to apples. They tell you the speed of the brushless option but not the torque rating. And then they don't tell you the speed 'or' the torque of the 'super high torque' motor.

Depends entirely on the range your shooting at. I use .32g at my outdoor field and i feel like that's enough. I ran .36s for a while but the gain in range is too small to warrant the extra cost. At least here .36s are a lot more expensive than .32s this is shooting i'd say a max 50-60m engagement distance. I can hit a bit further but you don't really have that long sightlines on my field

Mags hold retardedly high amounts of gas and the gun uses said gas extremely efficiently, XE managing to get 430-440 shots of continuous semi-auto out of a full mag before gas-out; the only thing you might have to worry about is that early batch guns arrived with all seals bone-dry, so if your gun's a bit lethargic and stuttery out of the box you're going to need to go in and apply a *thin* grease to the seals

It's a gimmick; while on some models it won't directly lead to reduced lifespan it won't have nearly the impact you'd want out of a blowback gun, so either stick with standard AEGs or invest into a GBB platform - VFC V3 ARs or the TM/DE MWS are a good starting point for the latter

The TM G17 Gen5 does look quite nice. I was going to ask why you wouldn't settle for a VFC/Umarex, but the finish and details on the TM are clearly more faithful to the real gun. Hope they restart production soon.
I just want to say again that we need GBB only games. If I had the land or access to a field to host bb gun war again I would absolutely consider doing this in the summer months. GBBs are just too cool, and forcing the guys that run them to play with the paintball/HPA kiddies isn't in good sport. I don't even use GBBs btw, everything I have is electric because that feels like the best compromise currently, but GBB is so radical, it needs its own space where it can shine.

You embrace the downsides if you go with them, but I wouldn't mind seeing them. Question is if there are enough of people to make it sustainable, considering that 90% of airsofters use AEG's. I'd also love to see springer only games; entry price is non-existent, and it could be interesting dynamic.

So, I went back on the 23rd and ran a springer frankenstein from amazon (image relevant) along with the Combat Zone Enforcer.... and like 5 different people offered to lend me their guns. The owner of the field came up to me and demanded I take a dozen shots from his HPA silenced SCAR with some crazy scope set... It was surreal.
I still had a blast, only used two CO2 carts , won two matches and got 7 kills 12 deaths for the day. This Enforcer...I crawled and slid through mud and ice water, and it still fired, still loaded and ejected... I think I'm in love, Anons.

I meant specifically what makes and models of guns. I've done some research and the feeling seems to be that none of these guns are really skirmishable. Even if you're okay with gimping yourself with the poor ROF/round count/reload, etc., the guns themselves either aren't built to last or will have laughably bad range due to low velocity and either non-adjustable (or perhaps even non-existent.) hop-up.

I would prefer that people not treat their bodies as billboards which advertise mental illness. The target stickers suggestion was just in mockery. A "go on, hit me" is funny and makes people want to shoot at you!
A "I punch nazis" patch to me (and most cognizant people) is an indicator that One is a volatile idiot and should be avoided or actively discouraged from fouling up anything that isn't a padded cell.
I don't want to single out someone for wearing camo flip-flop sandals and a sweater that grandma made, but if they're wearing it to broadcast a message, fuck them.
Even "I <3 Grandma" on your gun is too much. I mean, I love grandma too, but I play airsoft to forget about the shitty world and propaganda is a key component of what I don't want to encounter.

Just shoot the toy gun and be less of a target unless it's meant to be comical.

Cheap to mass-produce, plentiful, assloads of aftermarket parts and functional
GBBs are universally more expensive to run (especially GBBRs) and are temperamental in colder weather without proper precautions (ranging from higher-pressure gases to winter spring replacements), and HPA rigs are quite expensive to set up and run around with despite being less temperamental and easier to tune - most newcomers to the sport simply want something that'll work reliably under most conditions for not too much money, and an AEG accomplishes that
Plus, in the case of GBB vs. AEG, it's a lot easier to design new externals to fit over a gearbox than it is to design purpose-built components for every new platform; AR-15s, MP5s, G3s, and a host of other designs all use the V2 gearbox in some way, shape or form; similar deal with the V3 in AKs, G36s, the MP5k, and so on
They're simple, they're effective, and that's all most people want in order to play BB wars

Also, with AEGs, you can charge the battery at home (or car) and you're ready in an hour. GBBs, you're constantly buying canisters, but at least they're easy to come by. HPA, less so. And you still wind up looking like a ghostbuster.

I'll be fair and mention that at least in North America, Bernzomatic propane (and MAPP gas, for colder weather) is way cheaper than green (and red) gas while also being available at most hardware stores, with the added benefit of not containing any silicone oil that gets into your barrel and hop unit
That being said yeah, batteries are generally a lot easier to acquire and maintain; two LiPos and a good smart charger/discharger should be enough for most standard game days, and with proper discharging habits you only need to replace those batteries every few years

I find using batteries a pain in the ass after starting to use gbbs. You can just pick upa can of gas and bbs in the morning before game whereas it takes at least and hour and a half to charge a battery so you have to do it the night before a game. Plus batteries can go bad for no reason. Have put a battery in storage charge and found out it's dead when I wanted to charge it a couple of months later

That's cool and all, and I like them myself, but the average person isn't going to spend the normally-$400USD+ required to get into a good GBBR system nor take the time to ensure it'll function well - much easier to spend around $300 on an AEG, two batteries, some midcaps and a good smart charger
Pistols are a bit more forgiving (base guns, mags, parts are cheaper and TM-spec pistols (esp. Capas and Glocks) tend to have a great deal of aftermarket) but they're still more expensive to run than just charging up a battery (cost of electricity is negligible) and loading a bunch of dime-a-dozen midcaps, while also leaving you worse off at range due to the inherent reduction in stability when aiming a handgun versus a long gun
Picrel, Evike cart for a good AEG starter build; the gun itself is $180 off-sale, with the mags and battery-related accessories making up a one-time $120 cost (mags work in most AEG ARs, batteries fit in a large number of AEGs, charger works with virtually all airsoft LiPos), allowing someone to both get into the sport with something decent and have the minimum needed to run more AEGs in the future
The EMG MDP-9 has the potential to truly break into entry-level at $180USD, but until it's properly reviewed, there's no way to tell if it's any good; that said, even trying to keep it as cheap as possible (without keeping it sightless and stockless) it still greatly exceeds the cost of a starter Double Eagle AEG build while being at a disadvantage (less ammo capacity, finicky in colder temperatures; the former requires a heightened focus on precision and the latter requires MAPP gas and/or winter springs to compensate for the lowered pressures in colder weather)
TL;DR AEGs are a lot cheaper and simpler to get into as a first-time buyer (picrel), EMG MDP-9 might make GBBRs more accessible but remains unreleased, untested and still more expensive to run
Honestly, now I'm curious, so I'm going to assemble some other carts for reference

EMG MDP-9 - it's not out so I wouldn't recommend anyone new to GBBRs buy this yet, but if it proves to be decent then maybe it might be a good choice for entry-level, either way it's still more expensive to run than an AEG

Yeah, that's another consideration, which is that GBB mags are expensive. My pistol mags were $40 each, and I carried 4 of them. That's practically the price of an entire AEG just to carry about 120 rounds. Meanwhile, my PTS EPM1 midcap holds 250 rounds. And then the gas leaks... nothing unsolvable, but it can be an expensive system to run.

You want to keep at least a little bit of gas in your magazines to keep the seals under constant pressure; without that constant pressure, there's nothing preventing the lubricant on the seals drying out, which means O-rings and gaskets don't seal properly, providing an escape route for gas - and thus, the magazine leaks

As a leaf, will note that your guns must be shooting over 1.25J on a .20g BB (366FPS) for import and you might get harassed by the CBSA; couldn't hurt to see about getting your gun's velocity chronoed and documented on some paperwork to pack into the box (quick and easy way to make the guns compliant is to bring gas pistols in with an extra-long inner barrel installed, AEGs in with stronger springs, GBBRs with NPAS tuned high, etc. and just undo any modifications once you're in)
Beyond that though, MSC is 18+ (largely because buying the guns themselves requires you to be 18 in Canada, which influences event and field rules a bit) and according to some friends of mine definitely hits a lot differently than the usual 18h-or-less events up here
If you decide to go the US route instead, yes MSW does allow minors, but it's an event that from everything I've seen has proven to be quite effective at discouraging minors by requiring way more commitment to the bit than most of them are willing to provide or are capable of actually providing - that all being said, I'm curious to hear what your standards for such an event are

>>225823
>I'm curious to hear what your standards for such an event are
a lot of games have too much metagame and "outside players" and that breaks my inmersion. I understand that the more reloplay there is the more chaotic it will be bc people will be more clueless on what to do, but that is also part of the fun to me, it's people figuring out things. I come from RPG games like DnD so I'm used to roleplaying pretty much everything. Some orgs/milsims even ban use of (toy rubber) knifes for some reason. Some ban physical contact at all. Some ban a lot of social roleplay like interrogating (roleplaying, of course) a captured enemy player. Some have engagement distance limits. It's the small details, you know? I don't want through all the effort to play a milsim if people are not gonna put some effort into the roleplaying part of airsoft, that part is just as important for me as the shooty part.
It's almost more embarrasing when people are self-aware than when fully roleplaying. We're grown ass people playing with toy guns, so why take it too seriously and metagame? Inmerse yourself in the game and don't worry too much about winning or losing

our feds are retarded and decided that if an airsoft gun's too low velocity, it's a prohibited replica firearm that isn't allowed to be imported, but if it shoots hot enough to pierce a pig's eye (initially decided to be 1.5J, but is now 1.25J) then it's actually capable of being a weapon and attains the classification of unregulated firearm - it's exactly as retarded as it sounds and causes nightmare after nightmare for anyone importing guns into the country through the mail
>>225835
I'll say that not all fields up here require you to be 18, since there's no laws against minors *possessing* unregulated firearms, but MSC definitely is - probably because of the heightened distance from civilization that seems to be pretty common of said events
>>225835
I will admit to not having enough experience with milsim at large to address this beyond mentioning that Ballahack Airsoft down in Virginia does some more LARP-y themed events throughout the year (two post-apocalypse events, zombies, Wild West, etc.) that might be worth looking at, even if they don't exactly meet the definition of military simulation
Also, banning melees and enforcing MEDs seem safety/insurance-related more than anything else; MEDs prevent you from getting fresh holes in your skin because someone decided point-blank was a cool distance to shoot you with joule-crept .32s, and banning melees might be due to either a period of time where close-contact was discouraged (I'm sure you can think of a big one that happened worldwide for a while) or just not wanting to deal with incidents where someone properly whacks someone with a melee and then goes "but I'm allowed to melee"
Interrogation thing as well might be for player comfort, even if it is just RP; some people may not want to be put into that situation, and with events of that scale you do have to worry about such a thing, though I get why it would make an event more interesting

Alright faggot, I'm about to blow your brains out. I was shitposting on /tg/ since before puddi puddi. You want airsoft? You want rp?
Then start accepting compromises, because you've just joined a 100+ player game, and no, you won't get the entire game to be about you despite your ebin DnD background. Milsim is honestly the worst for RP, you'll just get a bunch of call of duty self inserts. Your best bet? Find a small group of likeminded players, and fuck around during a big match, and roleplay/mess around with them. The better you act, the more you'll draw in people around you
>Some orgs/milsims even ban use of (toy rubber) knifes for some reason.
Yeah, too many faggots go "WELL ACSKHUALLY THAT WASN'T A LETHAL HIT" when the knives come out. You want melee? Don't go to those
>Some ban physical contact at all.
And they absolutely fucking should. Grab someone from the back, and you expect them to not whip around with their big stick of chinesium metal and wallop you? It's instinct to just wheel around quick when you're grabbed. Settle for a silent pistol or foam knife at a game that allows them
>Some ban a lot of social roleplay like interrogating (roleplaying, of course) a captured enemy player.
Yeah, because it's useless, 99% of guys will just play tough gritty badasses because lolrespawn
>some have engagement distance limits.
So play the weapons that don't have that shit
>I don't want through all the effort to play a milsim if people are not gonna put some effort into the roleplaying part of airsoft
Buddy, even at the fullblown fantasy larps, you'll still run into your share of people just cruising and acting like themselves, discussing OOC shit like local news, politics or sports games
Your standards are absurdly high. Go airsofting, find RPers, mess around with them. A good personality and willingness to play around with others will get you more RP than bitching and whining as you look for a perfect event.

The thing is that it's one or the other. I grew up playing in my state (all woods fields) where melee kills were very rare and celebrated, ended up going for them frequently and earned a reputation for it. The scene died down there so I started going across the border instead and absolutely nobody down there will take a melee kill. They always argue with you and threaten to get the ref involved. One time I had a bayonet mounted on my rifle and the guy I hit with it said it didn't count because I only tapped him with the side of the blade. "That's not how bayonets work," he said. "This bayonet is made of metal, did you want me to actually stab you with it?"
Anyway, I now just pop everyone with .32gs at point blank range since that's the only thing they respect. I hate it, but it's the only thing that works 100% of the time.

Fair enough; my area's completely lacking in any form of MED (at most fields if someone tries to make you surrender, you can call it if you want, but you can also fight it if you think you're built differently enough to outshoot the dude who's already aimed directly at you) but a few fields still have COVID-era melee bans because of insurance companies changing their terms during the lockdowns, so you're more likely to get shot point-blank than have someone try to poke you with a polymer/rubber sword or knife

Nice. I did some thing similar. I made a template to print since if you're making one, you'll have enough material for several more. I think what I did was traced it onto the polycarbonate sheet, scored the edges with a knife, then snapped the edges on a hard corner edge. I center punched the screw holes for drilling, rounded the corners with a dremel, then sanded the edges smooth.

Not so much to be a leet headshotter but more because I'm an old fuck and I don't like running. What kind of accuracy should one expect out of a well tuned system? What should I be zeroing for, 50 feet? I'm thinking of ricing it out with a wolverine hpa kit and a bunch of maple leaf shit, but I'm worried that I might be better off selling the whole thing and buying something a little more name brand since working on it will be easier.

Airsoft 'sniper rifles' aren't really that great. The difference in range between a rifleman and a DMR is minimal, I'd even say a good rifleman setup could easily outrange most stock DMR builds. Going to full bolt-action sniper, you increase your range advantage, but with a massive hit to your ROF and you gain a very large minimum engagement distance.
An LMG/GPMG sounds more like what you want. They are generally allowed to have higher velocities than regular rifles and can get hits at range via accuracy by volume rather than precision. The support gunner generally stays towards the back of a squad until they hit contact and is the guy expected to be the least mobile.

Not too much you can do with the thing stock as it's basically a slightly upscaled AEP (I know the Germans have a track record of extensively modifying theirs, so there's probably *some* resources out there, but they're still going to be very weak and not fire all that quickly on auto), however I do recall that with some modification some smaller HPA units can be rigged to fit and function within the thing and turn it from a lethargic meme into a firehose force to be reckoned with (which also works nicely with one of the cans made for the thing stuffed with foam)

Matrix is very cheap feeling and undersized a lot.
Emerson is kinda crap and undersized.
FFI wants 100 dollars in shipping but this looks good and at the price I'm hoping for.
UF Pro is Crye priced without the Crye pattern cut but looks sturdy.
There's some euro company that makes a good looking set but their US shop doesn't have m81.

Aimpoint makes a lot of variants. The Comp M4s has it at the bottom, the Comp M4 at the top.
As for good replicas, I have no clue. The Vector Optics Nautilus looks kinda like it.
