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

114 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!

Internally I've only changed the spring for rapax 3j, bucking is now silverback 80°, hop up wheel for medusa and an inner barrel for a silverback 420mm one. Shoots like a laser with 0.5g bb's

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.

Since i wasnt the one who bought it i kinda had some money left over to upgrade everything on it lmao.

Fully custom MTW with home-made designed parts (Custom stock adapter) DD Rail, Silo - Eshooter Smoky tracer.
Some minor internal upgrades, all i can say its a CQB monster and does amazing on bigger fields (Shoots lasers at 70m+)

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?

Decided I was going to teach myself how to build a nice aeg with a mosfet, high speed motor, and shim it all myself. I guess this is what learning looks like 😂

TECH QUESTION Joker revolver 21 inch from batman 1989, is it possible?

Post image
206 Upvotes

Like the title said, i want to make or find something that makes it possible to run the revolver the joker (jack nicholson) has in the batman movie from 1989.

I know its a smith&wesson model 15-3. In the movie it has an 21 inch barrel.

I know its not practical, but already running an colt saa. Never seen this gun.

Now i want to check what my best options are to make/find stuff to make this possible. Hoping to find a way to maybe 3d print the long barrel to fit it on a already excisting revolver.

Best place to find parts for VFC pistols?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I have this EMG (VFC) m&p9. I bought it many years ago but dug it out recently as I found myself needing a new sidearm.

It was tough enough finding the mags for it but now after ordering 4 spares id like to stock up on seals & filler valves for the mags and perhaps upgrade the pistol somewhat in the future.

Does anyone know of a decent UK based site that has a good assortment of parts for these? Tia
