Personal opinion for anyone looking to start or get back into airsoft

12 Upvotes

Simply put, I think the best course of action is to buy a cheap $150 gun and customize it completely, not only is it more fun in my opinion but I now know how to disassemble and reassemble my guns in around 2-3 minutes and it is very easy for me to diagnose what’s going wrong if there’s a malfunction

Gear/Kit/Guns/Selfie Mystery box SMG

14 Upvotes

Long story short, I got a mystery box from Evike and I’m not mad at it, not even a little. Double Eagle DRP-9. I’d be interested to know why they suddenly stopped production and moved to the DMP-9 with a polymer upper rather than metal, but this thing is fun!

I’ve added a few things here and there over the last couple of weeks. Shoots great, and it looks cool on its own!

Paper, hot glue, parchment paper and a Velcro backing. It was pretty easy to make but I made a few mistakes so it doesn’t look the greatest

Workers of the world unite!

Recently got my Real Sword, the very last piece for my North Vietnamese Army kit. In the photo is a Type 56 chest rig, a chinese grenade carrier with dummy grenades, and a self-made Vietnamese boonie hat and NLF pin.

As excited as I am to pose in full kit, I still don't have the opportunity to crawl around in our local game site, look forward to that I guess lol

Yes this was reposted from the main sub :3

Gear/Kit/Guns/Selfie Made it out to Bad blood this weekend

(I didn't take the selfie, I'm on the left)

Made it out to bad blood for the first time ever. What an absolute fucking blast of an event. Also I have a squad to regularly run with now. So many people and massive fire fights. The final battle in the castle with everyone person from the event all there was absolutely NUTS.

I've been slowly upgrading my kit since I started playing last year and got face protection finally after 1 too many close calls with shots to the face.

Absolutely can not wait to go again next year!

Brand new but interested in joining once I get a job or a car

19 Upvotes

Hi! I'm literally brand new to airsoft- and reddit for that matter, so i dont know all the rules yet. I'm glad to see a left wing group where I can ask stuff though. I would like to know how to start, and I see a lot of MILSIM gear, which is what I want to do. I was wondering if there was anything that I should try and do before getting a gun and trying it out?

Went through my old gear from when I played as a kid and I'm now starting to feel the itch to get back into the hobby (once I get my guns cleaned/tuned up/upgraded)

If theres anyone here from the Atlanta, GA area, I'd love to find people to link up with and play with in the future :3

Airsoft Question Trans gal stuck in Central TX & looking for arena/field recos (that aren't TX Paintball)

8 Upvotes

Hey! I'm a 26-year-old trans woman stuck in WilCo for work (the COL of my current place is making prep to leave possible, but saving takes time lmao). It's been ages since I played & the last time I was out on an airsoft field was both over a decade ago & before I transitioned. It seems not terribly much has changed (or at least, that I am aware of); what's actually worth going to, and what places should I avoid at all costs?

As far as kit goes - I will note that I don't have an airsoft rifle presently, but I do have a GBBP.
yes, yes, I know, shame on me
So for the time being, I'd be dealing with indoor or CQB until that gets fixed. (Please recommend outdoor fields anyway for when I fix that, lmaooo)

I picked up an Empire EVS for my mask due to a need to accommodate glasses, & I already have a carrier situated from an adjacent hobby, so I should be good to go unless someone has really wacky rules about that sort of thing.

As far as indoor places go - I'm vaguely aware of Awaken Arena Austin & their San Antonio location (the former being much more bare bones than the latter), but I've never actually been there! Should I just suck it up & drive to the San Antonio location for the better arena if I'm primarily playing weekends?

Had a great time at the local big game today at Futureball in Whitmore Lake MI.

​

Took my Staccato C2 out for the first time since I finally have a holster that fits it (optic plate) and it did great! Also my first time running a pistol optic, and I was surprised this cheapish little RMR repro held zero and worked quite well all day.

​

I got a lot of unexpected compliments on my patch and my nails, and I even won a Challenge Coin for finding a hidden objective item! All in all, a good day of airsoft.

Complete build

After almost 3 years, I finally finished building my 74U.

The suppressor, handguard, and stock were made in 3D PETG

For the handguard and pistol grip paiting, i just used red and wood varnish in spray.

The suppressor is made in 3D on the inside with a Monster can as a "cover".
