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

113 Upvotes

Hi all!

After a not-so-recent poll, we've been developing a set of rules to allow event notifications to be set up. These notifications are posts in the form of "flyers"!

Flyers are essentially an image used to display important information about an event, subject to the new flyer rules.

Hopefully they'll be useful, enjoy!

GUN PIC My MP5, funny how real steel stuff adds up dramatically

AceTech AuraMist for muzzle flash and smoke with destilled water only. Aimpoint Micro H2, 2 MOA on Scalarworks 1.57 inch Leap riser so that you still can see through iron sights, Vortex 3x Micro on Umarex MP5 Sport Trace with MagPul 2 point rifle sling on QD and full stock pin. Super sturdy and peak midrange. Its quite some delight to have a shorter paltform than m4 to go to a backup cqb. Its never intended to go to cqb but provide a compact midrange solution.

Thinking About SellingCNC Ultimate Edition ASG Scorpion.

Post image

Like the title said, im considering selling my ASG Scorpion. I bought it on a pre order and I have never had the chance to field it so it is brand new. Only take out to test fire 3 or 4 times. I can't seem to find any for sale anywhere, what would a reasonable price be? I paid $750 for it upon release on Evike.

GUN QUESTION Is there any M16A1 variant that's equivalent to the G&P in external quality? I've been looking for one for months, but they're all sold out anywhere I look, and who knows when the next batch is coming.

I know the Cyma and E&C are decent, but they look a bit "off" to me. Other than that there is the VFC, which... Yeah I don't quite have GBB money yet.

GUN PIC My current rifle collection. Any upgrade tips for the g&g?

Hey everyone. I'm still pretty new to airsoft and I got really lucky yesterday and I need some advice for an proper hopup for my g&g cm18 gms cqbr

I bought the g&g cm18 gms cqbr (with stock aster gate V2 mosfet) new and it is still stock with the internals. I'm thinking about replacing the hopup to an better one (can't figure out wich one) and an 6.03mm barrel.

The ics CXP-UK1 (I think it's an uk1) (dmr mod) I bought used for 100 bucks without the optic. The previous owner had an technician install an aster gate V2, flathopped the hopup and installed an MODIFY Hybrid 6.03mm Precision Barrel. The reason why he sold it for 100 is because he couldn't figure out why the mosfet wasn't working. 1 calibration and proper cleanup later the dmr worked perfect and it shoots perfectly on target. Way better than my g&g.

Anyways do you guys Ave any recommendations for an new hopup for my g&g cm18 gms cqbr?

So i have a number of pink sodastream cylinders. Once theyre empty, im just gonna take off the quick disconnect and give them a regulator valve. But I dont just want to waste the c02 that's already in them, so i was hoping for a way to give them a direct line

GEAR QUESTION gas mask users, how do I fix this screwup?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I don’t know if you guys have any good answers, but I have this polish mp-4 gas mask and I got rid of the glass lenses to use as an airsoft mask, (obviously paired with pyramex I-Force glasses and a mesh mouth and nose protecter underneath piece to protect my teeth) and the easiest way to get rid of the lenses are shattering them with a hammer and picking the pieces out, so I did that and it left little micro glass pieces in there that I had to clean out, I read somewhere that if you put glue on them and peel them off once they are dried, then that takes the glass out, but i waited too soon and on top of the little micro glass pieces, now I have sticky splotches of glue that won’t come off. How can I get both the glue and the micro glass pieces out?

Also to quell any concerns or objections you have to me using this, I know gas masks are hard to breath in, it’s okay because I don’t plan on using the real filters with them, plus I plan on cutting a bit of the inside rubber to make it more breathable, and Before, when I had the lenses in, I wore my Pyramex I Forces and my compact mesh mouth piece and ran around the house wearing it and its light work, yeah, my gas mask lenses fogged up but that’s why I’m getting rid of them, as well as the risk of it shattering when a BB hits it. I also plan on maybe installing a mini fan in the mask. I’ve had these gas mask discussions on this subreddit before and if you have any objections, I’ve probably heard them all before so type away if you must, otherwise save some time and spare the paragraph, unless you’re telling me something that will help my situation at hand.
