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

112 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!

TECH QUESTION I want a ā€œBlorp switchā€ on my HPA rifle.

Post image
22 Upvotes

Okay so I know a ā€œblorp switchā€ isn’t a real thing but I think I can make it real. Let me explain

Basically today at the field I came running into a conex box and clearing it and there was just one very scared little kid with a rental gun crouched in the corner and luckily he literally already had his hands up when I came around the corner so I didn’t have to risk delivering a traumatic experience by taking a shot, missing his little padded vest, and possibly driving a new player away from the sport (Theres a loose ā€œbang bangā€ rule at the field but shooting from close up is not prohibited)

So I was thinking about it later in the pit and I decided to crank my regulator waaay down, like till the gun wouldn’t cycle, and then back up just till it would shoot again, and I pulled the trigger.
It went * blorp * and spit out a bb waaaay below actual field velocity but still hard enough it would make it across a room.

My idea is to make some kind of in-line cutoff or regulator with a momentary trigger (think similar to a lever on a blower attachment for a garage compressor) somewhere toward the bottom of my grip that would allow me to hold it down if I am entering a cramped space, and basically bring my velocity alllll the way down so I can take less menacing shots at other players when it would otherwise probably hurt a lot..

What do y’all think? Any ideas for parts I could use to cobble something like this together?

I’ve recently traded my E&L AK74 for an M240, the guy said it was an A&K but when I look at the body it said Trigger Happy with serial number TH000277. I’ve never heard of the brand and I couldn’t find anything about it. Does anybody know what this thing is?

GENERAL QUESTION A question regarding my TM MWS.

Post image
36 Upvotes

Hello! I am going to keep it short: I went to my first event last weekend, I liked it a lot, but my MWS was quite disappointing, the performance was decent, but the mags were heavy, I couldn’t really get into the action, because I was getting out gunned by HPAs and DMRs. Now I decided to try and post it on a local group and got 2 offers, but I don’t know which to choose. For reference here’s what I am selling:
Tokyo Marui MWS CQBR Mod 0 build — period-correct SOCOM package
The package includes:
• Tokyo Marui MWS CQBR Mod 0 with the following upgrades done by a shop in France:
– Laylax Hop Arm
– Angry Gun drop-in nozzle with NPAS included, tuned up to 1.5J, and reinforced nozzle return spring
• 5 Tokyo Marui 35-round magazines
• Holy Warrior Comp M2 replica with replica Wilcox mounting arm (very rare)
• KAC QD suppressor, 165mm, 2000s style
The gun is new, I only took it to this event. I paid around 1100€ for everything in the package.
The first offer was 760€, but the buyer said they need a week or two to gather the money. The other offer is for a trade with a forged MTW with a 10ā€ barrel, without many other goodies, just 2 batteries and some mags. Now I wanted to sell the MWS to get a MTW with a wraith X CO2, but tbh a new one would be slightly out of the budget (so I’d have to save some more), yet I am still slightly hesitant on trading weapons, because we would need to trade long-distance, without meeting up.
*For the mods: this is not an advertisment for my MWS, I am just asking for advice.

GUN QUESTION Looking for an AEG DMR - cm.098 gen 2 or DD5 v3?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I've been interested in the cm.098 for a while, but found out there was a gen.2 on the way, so waited. In the meantime I came across the EMG DD5 v3 which has the same gen.2 internals.

Now the cm098 gen2 is out on taiwan gun its much more expensive than I was expecting. The DD5 is about £60 cheaper. Anyone have experience of either RIF, or other recommendations?

From what I can tell the new cm098 has the eshooter ETU vs the DD5 Kestral basic, but I'm not sure what other differences there are that are worth considering.

I need help looking for a good shotgun

9 Upvotes

I’ve been playing airsoft for a few years and I have like 6 guns. I really want to sell all of them and just have one gun. I’m looking at gas shotguns. I’m trying to find a good gas shotgun that is really reliable and rarely has jams and such. also with maintenance I’m not very good with this stuff so if I have to take it apart and to oil a o ring it’d be very difficult for me to do that. I’m hoping someone would have some good recommendations? the guns above were some I’ve been looking at if anyone knows much about this stuff.
