I've shared my thoughts on that since that question gets asked a bunch of times in the existing paintball thread, because that thread is over a year old.
Meanwhile, I just walked into a mall recently and there's a shooting gallery where a jewelry store used to be utilizing airsoft rifles (with fabulous prizes!).

A Double Eagle SPAS 12 and a CYMA Sport M3 Super 90 CQB/Entry. They're just spring, the M3 can take an M4 adapter so you basically never have to reload, at the cost of it making the shotgun slightly less low profile. I kinda want a Jag Arms Reaper for some odd reason.

I think basically everyone who plays airsoft shares your pain. I used to think the Dye masks looked gay and paintbally, plus were overpriced, but since getting one I can finally play without any fogging.
I've tried a bunch of different goggles and shooting glasses with and without masks and they've all fogged at some point.
Tl;dr if you can afford it and you're willing to look a little gay get a Dye mask.
>>98515
This didn't work for me, it's one of the better set ups I've had but it fogged on me in the end anyways. Maybe works better if you don't live in a place with high humidity.

It's fine. I don't use it that often. I wear it like a pistol for backup. I'm trying to move away from gas systems. They're fine in the beginning, but over time, they get leaks and suddenly, it's questionable when your backup will fire when you need it to several hours in.
But then again, they don't make a 6-shot slamfire AEG.

banning handguns which are already restricted (which basically means not worth owning due to bureaucratic hoops)
last time they came after airsoft in my area the local PD literally came down to the fields to play and shoot the guns with their kids
apparently some grenade shells are supposed to be banned from import but you can buy them anyway

Went and played with my Type 89 for the first time for a day. It's alot of fun to shoot. Now a problem I've run into is the follower attached to the piston is damaged and fails to pick up the next BB in the magazine.
Come to find out I should be loading Japanese specification BBs that are a little smaller in diameter than normal 5.95mm match grade bbs. The tighter fit of the 5.95mm on the feed lips of the magazines damages the follower when it tries to push them out. Wish I'd known before, now I'll just have to bend the follower back into place and wait for my order from Evike to arrive. Ideally I'll be able to replace the damaged part and never have to deal with it again if the BBs are to blame.

I feel you. When my friend started talking about Dye masks I told him I won't pay what is almost the price of a new gun to look like a fucking paintballer. Many frustrating games later I gave in though and I've never regretted it.
I still play historical games wearing only shooting glasses and that helps serve as a reminder of the constant suffering I used to endure.

The entire system consists of a battery powered fan which blows air through 2 tubes which are routed through the inside of the helmet and into the top of your goggles/glasses.
In the field I've used it around 5 times and it hasn't failed me yet.
So far this is the only anti fog solution that worked 100% of the time and is actually convenient in use.

Or some frankenstein HPA M4-fed speedsoft gun.
Also, everyone who gets into airsoft always start as "I want a sniper gun!" or shotgun. Then they realize the error of their ways and get a normal rifle for most games, and maybe go back and try sniping with better expectations of what it's really like.

Spring airsoft is superior. Better for plinking do to lower power. You can reuse/get way more use out of your bbs and your targets.
Manufactures should focus on making full metal springier airsoft replicas. Different springs for match and power.
Focus on slide locking back on last shot.

There is no market for a detailed metal springer because people who are so cheap that they reuse BB's can't afford to buy it. Used BB's get deformed on impact, so a precision inner barrel is a no go. So an expensive springer that has no precision? The whole idea is bonkers.

i think you should first identity the type of shooting that most interests you.
for examples of engagements:
spring airsoft pistols are for target shooting in your backyard. 30-60 ft
spring airsoft shotguns are for shooting down a dog run at someone climbing your backyard's fence. 0-30 ft.
airsoft spring rifles are for shooting from your window at the butt of a juvenile mountain lion sleeping outside your neighbor's second story window. 60-120ft
adding an electric motor makes its utility more accessible.
making it gas powered makes its utility more accountable.
i imagine there are more creative ways to utilize airsoft in gameplay, but it is my personal belief spring powered airsoft are of no economics indoors. you will always get cornered. you will always be outpowered by a full auto airsoft.
brands of good economics:
cybergun
umarex
brands to look into:

Im in a predicament, im trying to import an AEG to Canada from the US from a private seller. I already contacted a local shop to handle the importation process. My problem is, the gun currently shoots 520fps because of some mods. If the CBSA were to test fire it and chrono it at 520fps, it would be classified a regulated firearm since the importable range is between 366 and 500. The box and manual say 430fps. Any leafbros help out?

did it happen when you were pulling the trigger too fast? if you try to fire before the gearbox makes a full rotation it can lock up. like what the other guy said, different motor could help, or better yet install a MOSFET and use 11.1v batteries. Switching to 11.1v made the biggest difference in my gun out of any upgrade I've done. here's what the difference sounds like

Everything has to be super simple. Randoms on teams just absolutely kills teamwork and coordination. I've seen VIP matches were you tell a teammate to watch the VIP so people can cover the doors/windows, and then literally turn back 5 secs later and the VIP is gone. Ask where the VIP went and you get shrugs.
Otherwise, that sounds like a decent list of game types.
>>101878
You read, watch and learn about your gun. Pay attention where they mention if something is xxx-compatible or proprietary (such as product reviews/breakdowns). That's literally it. This is also where local stores are nice as you can physically see and hold an item in your hands, and ask the sales/techs if an upgrade will fit. They won't sell you something if you're just going to return it the next day.

I think it depends a bit on the crowd, here most players aren't super serious milsimers so the mood is usually pretty light. One game mode that is fun but chaotic is a medic game where anyone can review a fallen team mate but the enemy can also capture them and make them part of their team. The team that ends up with the most players wins (if you even care about that).
Another stupid short game that is surprisingly fun is springer pistol only game. Here the fields usually have enough springer pistols for all players. Usually just plays out as a unlimited respawn game but you only have one mag so when you run out of bbs you're out. And of course this should be played on a small part of the field so it's basically non-stop (idiotic) action.

Another game that's usually pretty fun is hostage rescue. The hostage can just be a mannequin or similar on a stretcher. One team plays defence and gets to hide the hostage (preferably there is some limitation to hiding places like inside structures only). The area where the defending team can operate should also be slightly limited so they can't spawn camp etc. Defenders have no respawn but can set up ambushes anywhere in the designated area. The rescue team has unlimited respawn but must go back to the base to respawn. When the rescue team gets the hostage to their base they win. If the time runs out the defenders win.

Anyone here do action air? I wanna work towards practical shooting or our national equivalent sport and figure it would be a good and cheaper way to practice the fundamentals at the start since it's easier and cheaper to get into while waiting for a loicence and easier and cheaper to practice since you could just do it in your backyard. I've not held an airsoft gun in about 20 years but my main worry is that action air will just make me feel like an idiot when compared to shooting with real guns though I've heard the weight of at least the action air pistols is intentionally very close to the real guns and the simulated blow back does work at least a little bit to make it feel better.

Practical shooting but with Airsoft guns instead of real guns. Especially popular in Asia where getting a privately owned gun is practically impossible but also somewhat popular as a gateway to practical in countries with some gun laws that prohibit you from just walking to a store and buying one the moment you feel like it. It's under the IPSC just like actual practical shooting. It's probably not very popular in the US.

Semi lock. Common with guns that have version 3 gearbox. The piston sometimes gets in a spot in its travel where it won't move unless in full auto. Mosfet with cycle detection fixes it.

Slowly started putting together a US Vietnam war-kit. Right now I can't decide if I should get a M16A1 or a "CAR-15". The CAR-15 has a special place in my heart but it doesn't really fit the US army regular-kit I'm aiming for.

Honestly thermal isn’t THAT absurd, like thermal scopes generally start at 1-2k which is high cause they use flir boson modules that start around 1k. But anything that uses a lepton module can be like 3-600$ which would include thermal monoculars that should work quite well for spotting and setting up ambushes.
I’ve been theorycrafting a thermal setup to mount on the front of my rifle that would output to a monocular, scope, or wrist mounted monitor for a while which is why I’ve been researching this stuff lately lol

If you really want the CAR-15, I think you should get the CAR-15. However, the M16A1 has it's merits. I miss my TM M16A2 because the thing was soo accurate and just pointed down a field perfectly because it was long as all can be.

You make a compelling argument. I might have been a bit unclear, it's not that I dislike the M16A1, on the contrary. It's just that I had a CAR-15 toy as a kid that makes it extra nostalgic. My next problem would be what M16A1 to get. Right now the only ones that are available here are the CYMA ones with ETU but they seem prone to breaking down easily. The Marui one is too old and plastic to be a realistic choice.

Get a Perun V2. It's a drop in mosfet so easy to install, all you need to do is file down the contacts screw, and it should just work.
Double Bell also makes some Vietnam models, you can find them on Taiwangun. They don't have mosfets but have higher quality internals than CYMA imo.
Also here's my 3d printed MP7 kit for my AAP. Needs the stock but yea i think it's very cool

You don't need much skill for a drop in mosfet, not even soldering. Just go on youtube and search "Perun V2 installation" and watch a couple videos to see if it's something you would be comfortable doing. Otherwise maybe there's a shop near you that offer repairs/upgrades and let them do it.
Also you only need that mosfet if you want to use a 11.1 battery. It won't break with a 7.4

anons I'm very confused and need your help to understand what happened
I had shit tier air seal in my specna M4.
Bough new piston, piston head and a cylinder. I've put it in, and now FPS seems great. I mean on M90 it's 305FPS on 0.2, on M110 it's 380 and on M140 it's 465. Now here's the weird part. I had 350 fps on 0.2 on M90 spring with this previous shitty air seal. How was it possible? I know now everything is fine with these new parts but how come it could shoot stronger than the spring nominal strength on this poor seal?

So I read the guide and many others + videos and still not sure on my first gun. Loved playing at open games, I'm between m4 and ak ofc.
Everyone says cyma ak or even platinum m4 is best choice for beginner but I'm thinking if it's worth it to pony up few hundred euros more if I'll get something much better long term?
My budget is around 500 eur, also planning on getting cz evo eventually just for cqb but maybe it would be good for both open and cqb or just start with that ak... Idk, help a brother out :)
Importer here usually gets stuff from taiwangun I think.
What about VFC Avalon, ICS mars?

Is 500 euros your budget for the gun alone? or does it include gear and other stuff? if you're willing to spend that much in the gun alone, i'd suggest getting an LCT AK if you want to go with that platform. LCT's AKs are the best airsoft AKs you can buy, externals-wise. Interiors are also good but like any other airsoft gun they are kind of retarded, but that's airsoft for you, i guess. Cyma AKs are also very good for the money, though as i'm only into airsoft for the larping, their exteriors aren't as good as LCT's.
If you're going for M4s I'd suggest Krytac or Maybe VFC's Avalon lineup. I don't personally own either but heard from friends who have them that they are quite good, especially Krytac M4s.
picrel is my LCT AK74N

Just for the gun. I'm not married to either, can go for cz evo even if it can work in all situations. Cyma just seems like nice gun to learn all the shit that will break on and can get spare parts, is cheap etc lol, but at the same time if alternative is really worth x2 (and for me worth is both inside and outside quality, durability etc) then sure I'd rather pay for something that will last me longer without needing to upgrade or get rid of beginner gun.
Anonymous at Thu, 30 Jun 2022 14:47:35 UTC No. 103662

Yeah then I'd say go for the LCT if you want an AK. People also say E&L is extremely good and on par with LCT but i've seen more mixed opinions about them, and they have a tendency, or at least so i've heard, to rust quite a bit if you don't properly clean/oil them after playing. Again, I recommend LCT because it's what I currently own and I'm very happy with it, both with external and internal quality. Internals are a bit controversial but they're as good as it gets when you're talking about flinging 6mm, 0.3g plastic spheres at your buddies. Also, you could go for NPO, i've heard they have absolutely amazing externals, but that comes with a hefty price. And I'm not sure how their internals are, to be quite honest.

I’m gonna throw a curveball here and actually suggest you look at Double Bells AK’s. They have nicer wood than CYMA, and their internals are much much better than CYMA, LCT and E&L.
Double Bell have quick change spring, proper air seal with a non plastic nozzle and cylinder head with an o-ring, steel 8mm bushings and better motor.
Only grip with them is their magwell are different, but all you have to do is file down CYMA mid cap a tad bit and they lock in

Just note that it's annoying to change the battery and there's not a lot of aftermarket mags out there. It's also a pain to work on if you wanted to change anything as it's all proprietary.
That being said, it's one of the best performing guns for the price, and is regarded very highly in the airsoft community. If you want to hear how fast it shoots on 11.1v listen to this

Regarding the mags, I honestly prefer the hi cap to the midcaps. The midcaps only hold 75 rounds while the hi cap is very high quality, doesn't rattle, and doesn't need to be wound all that much. Midcaps are still good if you have to have a midcap though

T2, MRO and Romeo are very good for medium distances. or alternatively you could get an LPVO or just a fixed magnification scope, if you want. i personally really like running a scope (PSO-1) even though my gun's not really a DMR. it all depends on your play style.

>>104231
Oh boy. Had 2 WE ARs, sold one this weekend and bought an M16A1. The one I have left right now is fully upgraded internally and a custom "clone" build externally.
You'll have to check the bolt lock engagement as soon as you get it because if you don't the bolt catch are on the bolt carrier will get fucked. Also you should use some AEG gear shims to shim the bolt catch so it doesn't have a lot of side to side play and has a more positive engagement with the bolt carrier.
The trigger box lasted about a year before I replaced it with a CNC RA tech one. Actually got all the trigger box internal parts separately but that was a huge pain in the ass and took me hours to instal because the trigger wouldn't reset properly and I had to file the contact point on the disconnector.
I replaced the stock bolt carrier with the RA tech CNC steel one. Probably wouldn't had to do that if I knew what I was doing at the time.
If you'll want to buy the steel bolt carrier I'd also recommend buying the Angry gun CNC hop chamber because stoch we deforms after a while when using the steel bolt carrier. Not that I noticed any issyes with it. Stay away from the New Age steel hop up chamber. Tried it and it's a pos.
The barrel assembly uses an O-ring instead barrel shims so it can develop play after a while. Replaced the O-ring with barrel shims on my XM177 and it was rock solid.
Full auto performance isn't great on WE ARs. It's better on stock guns than my upgraded one but I only use semi anyway so it doesn't bother me.
You should get an NPAS if you want to use WE ARs in the summer because on hot days they shoot well pretty hot.

In regards to gear ratios, I recommend reading this

I am fortunate to have a few fields that allow mesh. I have been hit with bios and it sucks. Occasionally, the fragments get in your eye a little but doesn't hurt. Just blink the frags out and you good. I have only had to deal with this once in the past four years. This is mostly due to the fields I go to not requiring bios. If you go to a field that requires bios, it's not worth wearing.

that being said you can buy/use legit gear, most people end up going more towards that stuff I feel. You can get a LCT or get a full metal lower and a daniel defence railed AR and it looks and feels pretty good.

If you don't care to shoot people, then buy real guns. It's that simple.
Also, you're mostly looking at the flashy, attention grabbing stuff. Normal looking guns used by chill dudes don't get clickthrus. Meanwhile, you can post a picture of proud boys walking down the street with guns and ask if that's what gun enthusiasts all look like.

the previous one had steel teeth too
what I've noticed is this new piston has 15 teeth instead of 14 like the old one
maybe that's causing it?
I also get some random fliers which are like 30fps above normal shots, weird

How much does fps matter? I’m paying a tech to do my ak up real nice as a dmr, and my local rules r basically no MED under 400 fps, 50 foot MED up to 450 fps.
And I was thinking, how much more range would 450 fps give me? Does it make sense to just go for 400 fps so I can use this gun dual purpose?

Dang those are some lenient MED rules, nice.
I would go for 400, 50 feet is a long distance not to be able to shoot. But if your gun has a quick change spring just buy two different springs so you can switch on a game-to-game basis.
Anonymous at Tue, 12 Jul 2022 05:40:42 UTC No. 105410

If it's 400 then it's not dual purpose. Only you know your actual situation, but IMHO if you have to question whether you want to make one or not, don't.
Anyway, MEDs are what sidearms are for.

Ok as the asker of the question I looked into it a bit more and per a research thing from 2004 titled “Airsoft trajectory project” your maximum effective range at 450 fps will only be roughly 15 feet further than 400.

that is just sadistic. Especially If you're HPA, which I know you are with that weight. Airsoft is about honing your tactic, strategy, movement, and ability in close corner/battlefield situations, not just hurting people. if that's what you want, get into boxing (which is the same thing, but different)
However, I would keep a side arm with those for cheaters, on second thought lmfao.

people buy fancy slings so they can have a smooth pull but I don't really feel it's worth for airsoft, it's not life or death to get your rifle into your hands since you're usually running around with it out anyway
if you're just using it so you don't get tired/easier way to carry your gun a simple one is plenty fine I think
hell I've seen dudes using a piece of rope as a sling

In Japan they're pretty strict with age restriction on airsoft guns so Marui has quite a lot of guns for kids age 10 and up (regular guns are 18+). They're weak but fun to play with at smaller indoor fields, especially if you reserve a field with some friends. And since they're fairly cheap you can give them makeovers without being too worried about the result.

so first time fielding this setup today, and i can positively say this has ruined every other setup i normally run for me. You can easily get 50 meter range with this thing, and it shoots straight as an arrow with the hopup set correctly with .28's then combined with how lightweight it is, you can be a very effective speedyboy on "milsim" fields

Cyma is fine and you should want to upgrade LCTs anyway.
I was looking at that Krytac LMG and it's kinda the same story except krytacs are even more of a shit to upgrade, even if I could get away with grabbing a better mosfet and calling it a day.
I got a MAS and I think it's better externally and internally than a more expensive LCT.

Russian surplus I got from a "local" surplus shop. They don't ship internationally if your intent was buying, but they also tend to have only one set of these, let's say, "obscure" uniforms, aka I got the last one they had. I'm pretty sure I saw some people selling Flora uniforms on ebay when I was getting starated in airsoft like some 6ish months ago, so you could try there. Alternatively, you could try greyshop.ru if you don't mind it being a repro. never bought their stuff, but they seem to have lot's of options on soviet/russian shit. i could be schizo but i'm also pretty sure they had way more stuff listed in their website before the invasion, though.

I don't think most of the fields I go to care. It's only the milsim re-enactment games that specify acceptable loadouts (and even then, they're pretty broad because they're not autistic).

and a bunch gearboxes, gears, random electronics, glowsticks, a periscope, a really nice military compass, speedloaders, CQB barrels for the Tippmanns, and a whole bunch of other shit I'm probably forgetting.
What the fuck do I do with all of those aeg's? Are parts generally interchangeable between different manufacturers so I can MacGyver one or more multiple working guns with all the parts? Don't even know what brand most of these are; two of them have a bunch of armalite markings on them and the other ones don't have any branding.
Also, anything I should know about the Tippmanns, specifically with regards to converting them to HPA?

ICS M1 Garand. Not as good looking as G&G but has better mag capacity and therefore it's more skirmishable.
M2 carbine if you want to go GBBR but the mags are hella expensive

Just switch the input fitting out (don't smack it in and break it like I did the first time), look on YouTube/Tippmann owners on fakebook and if that doesn't work, email kore outdoor (the mega corp that owns Tippmann and many other airsoft companies) and they'll send you parts/advice/warranty and repair service for free. The best thing about dealing with Tippmann is the amount of customer support you'll get from them. I've had a Tippmann M4 since 2017 and it's been solid. I like my Tippy soo much I'm tempted to get a cqb version from ANS because they are on sale for 220 right now.

anons I need help
my MP5 Marui NGRS arrived like three weeks ago
the quality is amazing and it feels like nothing else also the sound people are asking if its GBB.
BUT I fielded it a few times and I feel a little bit outgunned I'd say. The main issue is that mags are only 70s and the range and time to target are not the best. I feel like I'm getting bested by less skilled people with much cheaper guns. Do I sell this beauty and build some DSG for the same money? HPA/DSG is the meta in cqb in my country. I just wanted to fulfill childs dream by buying a TM flagship

You only weigh 45 kg? Are you a midget? If that's true why would you even consider getting a machine gun? Even an MP5 would be too much for you.
>>109129
Marui guns are optimized for Japan so in any country where the joules limit is higher they will be outgunned by most out of the box chink guns with stronger springs. Since the NGRS guns are pretty complicated it's also more difficult to upgrade them.

If it's obvious then why do you sound surprised that you're outgunned? Even the best Jap guns max out at about 40 meters

I honestly don't know what this guy was expecting. It's sort of like someone buying their dream Lamborghini, and 3 months down the line realizing they have no garage, can't afford the insurance, no place to legally race it, etc....
I love MP5's outside of airsoft, but I could never consider getting one for airsoft because of the battery and mag size issues.
I have a TM P90 that I kept stock for forever and never felt I was at too much at a disadvantage. Get a CQB gun, expect to excel at CQB (and worst outside of it).
At any rate, I don't consider it an issue because I have multiple guns for multiple roles. If this guy can only afford ONE gun, then yeah. Either git gud or sell it for a more general purpose one. Then when he's older and wealthier, he can buy his mid-life crisis NGRS and shoot it while driving his Lamborghini.
>>109142
The fields I go to chrono and tag guns based on FPS. Standard rifles have MED (usually 20ft). Slower ones have none. Snipers 50-100ft or whatever. So there's a slight incentive to use slower guns going in and out of buildings without needing to transition.

In my country there are 6 replica classes with assigned FPS limits. Or we're only now starting to measure with joules.
1. Pistols, shotguns and SMGs up to 1J MED 1m
2. "Any" but that doesn't include pistols up to 1.68J MED 5m
3.MGs up to 2.25J MED 15m
4.DMRs up to 2.25J MED 15m
5.DMRs up to 2.89J MED 20m
6.Bolt action sniper rifles up to 4J MED 30m

>If this guy can only afford ONE gun
I have other guns. The purpose of this MP5 was to be a good cqb gun (which I stated in my first post, if you were willing to read) with capability to shot up to 30m when necessary.
What I mean by outgunned is not having lower fps than everyone else but lower rof on semi than a gun for half the price and 2x smaller mags.

Idk what you were expecting senpai, they're built to be very good within Japanese limits, put them outside of that and frankly you are better off buying a G&G, ICS etc.

What's the matter with this guy? The MP5 a perfectly fine CQB gun. Not enough ROF at CQB distances? He should try aiming his shots. Time to target? 300fps vs 400fps at 100ft, the difference is 0.33s vs 0.25s. ROF isn't going to help with that. And 100ft is far beyond CQB.
>>109194
This just sounds like buyer's remorse. An impulse buy without proper research. It's working exactly as it should, it's just not OVERPOWERING. He's better off selling it instead of endlessly complaining that it's operating within specs.

LOL. Look at this wannabe nerd trying to blame physics for his inability to aim.
Here are some graphs relating BB energy, weights and distances (among other things) that also take into account air drag and other factors. At 100ft, the difference is around 0.5s vs 0.6s, which is still within the vicinity of the theoretical 0.08s difference. Jesus, just admit you dun goofed and move on.

I got in contact with some old school friends since i got to know they were into airsoft and saw it as a chance to have a nostalgic meeting (last time i saw them was 12 years ago)
I'm the WW2 Larper that posted here the other day
In any case they show me their kits and i was honestly stunned
Call of duty Skull Mask with Stock CYMA M4 with added 2 optics (one on the top, one on the side), laser, extended mag and a bipod of all things
I play with the Thompsons' ironsights since i have to stay period correct but isn't that a bit too much especially on a fucking CYMA M4? Could have invested the money on a better gun at that point, is there even a point to have a bipod for an AEG if you are not using an MG
Everyone is free to do what they want with their gun but coupled with the skull mask it becomes the cringiest shit i've ever seen

This, IMHO. As long as everyone plays fair, who cares. Some people just want the look. Some just wanna pretend to shoot Nazis. One of my future projects will be to buy $1000 medieval armor so I can fight for the emperor or some shit, so I'll need an equally bling bling rifle to go with it. Maybe a bolt action sniper. I dunno yet.

I'm guessing they were also wearing multicam. They sound like the average basic airsofter to me, the vast majority don't care about realism and if they have any kit inspiration it's usually from videogames.
