This is what happens when Evike sends me a Second tac light instead of the pressure switch I actually ordered.
*PICTARS*
One light is a G&P R500s and the other is some Ultrafire junk they sent me
I get bored some times lol
Hey, if they don't make you return the Ultrafire, I'll buy it from you... How much would you want for it?
-
You should remove your comms setup from you're gun.
Ah, nonsense, sir! None of that here! At least all his teammates will know when he's opened fire? Assuming he pushes the PTT...
In the next couple days I'll be picking up a blaster for my *special* loadout... I'll get some pics up once I get it and get it painted and such.
Here's a clue for the loadout, and probably the gun - a gas mask, shin/forearm protection, armored gloves, stab-proof armor, and headshots. Lots of headshots.
-
Jin, I don't want to rain on the problem parade but you can be quoted as saying you've been dropping the magazine repeatedly on the hard floor... It probably knocked the fill valve out of whack.

I wonder why it's so hard to make a bolt stop similar to the ones used on RS AR-15's. Ones that wont break...
I wonder if a RS AR-15 bolt stop would work? I don't know enough about the internals of the AR-15 or the WE M4 to know if that is ridiculous or not...
-
Eek!
I'd say first company that comes out with a reinforced bolt stop is going to get rich hahaha thanks for the heads up though Jin!
I wonder what it's going to take to make a bolt stop that is consistently durable... All the manufacturers seem to be greatly underestimating the force the bolt stop is receiving each time it's employed.

heh fun stuff
Airsoft Buddy are there any more of the original ones left or are they all for sale for $360+shipping now?
If they have any of the special packages I'd like to get one before they run out, but if they're all out I don't have much choice, do I? xD
-
Lupus, your M4 looks awesome. Can I post a pic of it on another forum to show what can be done to this gun?
Oh, and the gun uses clockwise threading, right? That means if I wanted to get a Noveske Firepig, I should get this one, right?
http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?...roducts_id=2418
In my opinion, the WE M4 needs it. I mean, seriously, if it can amplify the sound of an AEG (which makes very little sound to begin with), think about how loud it could make a GBB rifle!
You spoilsport!! That's what I was going to do!!!
haha you, me, and fifty other people, anyway... xD
-
AHH I CANNOT POSSIBLY SELL MY STUFF FAST ENOUGH!
Jesus I must have it! hahaha oh boy oh boy oh boy
Anyone want to buy $250 of stuff from me? xD
Serious hatred goes out to Jin and Lupus for the previews... Now I'm going to spend even MORE money on airsoft >.> I kid.
-
To the OP (I forgot your name already... hehe I'm sorry) I would suggest simply taking one or two little squares of TP and folding them up and putting them in the cup. That way you'll get a little bit of extra comfort as well as the confidence you're the only one who can hear what's being said
I plan to pick up a Swimmer headset soon so that'll be nice. Thanks for the review!

oh...so...sexy...
what did you do with the BUIS?
-Joe
It's sitting on my tool bench right now, taking up space. It's just on, well, BUIS duty, until the EOtech breaks, which it better not.
@ cambre:
Thanks man, it's really awesome. Definitely better than a normal M4 variant, I believe...

My recently updated LR300S:
Specs are:
G&G LR300S
Madbull Gemtech flash hider and QD suppressor
Echo 1 5-Position folding stock
Prometheus Aluminum piston head
Angel Polycarb piston
Guarder SP90
Systema Shims
Soon to get:
Systema Turbo Motor
Systema Hi-speed gear set
Guarder metal bearing spring guide
Anyway, the pictures!!!
And with my SCAR:
-
Yep, lipos pretty much rule. The day they make a unit that can fit inside an MP5K, is the day all my nihms go in the trash.
Talk to Pat at RCLipos.com, correct me if I'm wrong but I think they can custom-build batteries for you... At a cost, of course, but I think they can. I believe that's where my buddy got his LiPo for his SCAR (stick battery).
-
Hey USCM, I agree wholeheartedly with your review, but I have one question to ask.
Do you or any of your teammates have any trouble viewing iron sights/holosights while wearing the mask? Using my LR300 I cannot see my EOTech reticle at all without going into some incredibly awkward position to try to look down the gun.
I haven't tried on my SCAR yet, I'll go try right now and update it with what I can see.
Okay, I tried it with my SCAR-L. With the cheekrest in the lowest position, I can see the reticle with only my right eye, and with the cheekrest in the upper position I can't see it at all without being incredibly uncomfortable.

Oh damn.
Just saw the couch.
I'm making one.
Seriously.
I have a couch just suitable waiting in my grandparents barn - it's deep and tall and wide and I just realised I don't know what all the directions I use to describe a couch is translated into in english, so hey.
All I can say is - I have the perfect couch, and I will build a couch armory.
And you will take hundreds of pictures.
The key is:
You better have a flippin' armory to match!

My god, necro post!?!
Do me a favour guys, when I drop dead, pop by my funeral and start chatting over my coffin.....I'll probably get another 15 years of life.
Nooo, knowing online forums...
I'm thinking more like 20-30.
-
DEFINATELY patches Arnie. Subdued patches maybe? Patches just totally rock.
AM WANT Subdued Arnie's pouch.
Or 2.
Or 10.
haha as long as they have velcro I'd buy a bunch.
-
Well no actually, on the real thing you simply apply the decocking lever, commonly miss known as the safety, and the hammer is automatically decocked.
Other than that a nice little review. I bought a Silver KJW to amuse myself while living in Italy for seven months, never had a problem with it.
Yeah, I realized I had messed up there. Going in to fix it now, as well as the "hogue" grip section.
*edit* D'oh! Can't edit any more!
Im with you on that one.Never been a huge fan of the Vertec, just doesn't seem right.
The 92s ugly sister
While it is different, and maybe not as classic-looking, it still isn't bad looking. Just weird.
At first I thought the same, but owning it has really grown it on me.
-
Oh, just don't like vertecs. They're not purty enough, prefer more.. "classic" looking Berettas Eh, each to their own. Sounds like an alright pistol though, I'm still kinda used to KJ being pants.
Yeah, I wanted the more classic-looking M92 Elite but of course Evike failed to let me know the Elite was out of stock when I
ordered so I had to switch.
Yeah, I'm used to KJW sucking as well, but I figured they deserved a chance. I'm glad I got this pistol.
-
Good review, nothing under the sun could make me buy one though. Poor poor 92
Why is that?
And thanks.

Part 2.
4. Performance - Accuracy
I was just joking with you. This gun is, once again, the best gun I've ever used, or, in fact, seen. Out of a stock pistol, at ranges of Five and Ten meters, the accuracy of the weapon is formidable at worst. At 50 feet and in, I really wouldn't want to be near someone with this weapon.
Here's the picture at 5 meters.
That's 6 shots, in 2 groups less than an inch apart, each group being less than 3/4 of an inch in width. Whoever was there is D-E-A-D Dead.
Here's the picture at 10 meters. Not quite as pretty, but what can you expect?
I tried to spend less time aiming and more time shooting, and look what it got me!
As much as I dislike this grouping, once again, at about 33 feet, whoever was there is D-E-A-D Dead.
And, last, but definitely not least, here's the practical grouping. This was fired in quick succession (1 shot per second) but WITH the suppressor attached, effectively blocking my sights. I had to guess where I was aimed.
My sharpie died, so I couldn't circle the entry wounds, but you get the picture. Still not bad at all, still D-E-A-D Dead, and this time more quickly and quietly than before.
I have to give this gun a 10/10, for the simple fact that I was astounded at its accuracy.
5. The M92 Vertec's Differences (from KJW's other M92 models)
Number 1. Hogue Grips
The Vertec model has rubberized plastic hogue grips that I find very comfortable. However, I wanted the Elite, with the more squarish front. I need to be able to choose where I put my fingers, because once my hands start sweating it gets bad in a hurry.
(here you can clearly see the textured hogue grips, as well as the not-too-tacky KJ logo)
Number 2. Lanyard Ring
The Vertec model, since it is the "military/LE training model", has a Lanyard Ring. I think this is an excellent touch, because I will definitely be wanting one.
Number 3. Full Hammer
Some view this as a plus, some view it as a minus. From a looks standpoint, it's a minus, in my opinion. I'm a fan of modern, flashy, minimalist looks. However, its effectiveness is undeniably higher. The full Hammer will not get caught, as well as being easier to cock/decock.
Number 4. Decocking (YES! Just like the real thing!!!)
While this is not specific to the Vertec model (I don't think) this gun can be safely decocked, even when gassed. Two Thumbs Up to whoever actually put it in! Simply hold the hammer back while you pull the trigger, and then slowly let the hammer up while still holding the trigger. Easy as that.
Overall, I give the specialties an 8.5/10.
6. Ordering
As some of you may know, from my now-dead thread in the GBB/NBB section, I originally ordered the KJW M9 Elite, only to discover more than a week after ordering that the M9 Elite was out of stock. I immediately switched my order to the M9 Vertec, and for my trouble got them to include an extra mag ! Anyway, after that happened, it basically went down fine. The package came two days after they said it would come, but it wasn't a big deal, as I was out of town the entire time anyway.
I think I've figured out the key to ordering from Evike to make sure they dont screw up your order. You HAVE to call by phone and check in on your package before it leaves. You can get one of the CS guys to physically look in your box to make sure you have everything.
My box came in perfect condition, everything was fine.

And, last but not least, part 8.
8. G&P Stubby Silencer Mini-review
When this silencer arrived, I never thought to look inside. My first and only thought (at first, anyway) was that it was like my old QD silencer for my M4. Good looking, but useless.
I couldn't have been further from the truth.
After firing a few rounds with the stock barrel on, I disassembled the gun, lubed it up, and stuck in the threaded barrel. After getting it all back together, I attached the silencer and fired off a few rounds. At first, I thought it misfired. All I heard was the noise of the slide slapping back and forth. However, sure enough, the gun was firing. I unscrewed the silencer, and upon opening it up, discovered something.
It was filled with foam. Praise the lawd!
(no pics of the inside, sorry)
Anyway, now that I've lubed the rails the slide moves on, the gun is VERY quiet. By far quieter than my snappy little G26.
I'm sure it wouldn't compare, to, say, a TM Mk23 with a silencer, but it has found a very special place in my heart.
This gun is by far my favorite of the arsenal... all the other guys are gonna have to scoot over and make way for the new guy.
Before someone freaks out, I AM M4MANIAC from ASB. I did not steal this review. I simply C&P'd it over onto this forum.

8. G&P Stubby Silencer mini-review
1. First Impressions
When my family and I arrived home from Utah today, I was thrilled to see the brown box on the front steps. I ran out, grabbed it, sprinted back to my room, and immediately cut the box open. I mulled through it quickly, making sure everything I ordered was there.
Upon opening the box with my pistol in it, I was greeted by a somewhat off-balance sight. To me, the M92 is a very off-balance looking pistol. Too much weight at the back, and because of the extended ejection port (almost all the way to the front sight) there is nothing up front. So, of course, first thing I did was grab the threaded barrel I had ordered and shoved it on there, following it with the suppressor I had ordered.
After cradling it, disassembling it, reassembling it, and giving it a very thorough cleaning, I had reached one and only one conclusion.
This gun was beautiful.
I have handled 9mm Berettas in real life, and this was was very close to the real thing. I can't say for sure, but holding it with the mag in felt about the same as an unloaded Beretta. I think it's a little lighter though.
Every time I racked the slide back, I was greeted with the gratifying sound of metal grinding on metal. I guess, I shouldn't say grinding per se. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, though. After checking the gun very thoroughly, I have decided it really does live up to it's claim of being full-metal. The following parts, on the exterior at least, are metal:
Slide
Outer Barrel
Safety Switches (Ambidextrous Safety, more later)
Hammer
Grip Frame
Trigger
Magazine Catch/Release
Lanyard Ring (More later as well)
as well as the majority of the internal parts.
I give the First Impressions/Appearance/Feel a 9.5/10. The only problem I have is that when the silencer is attached, and the gun is pointed up, when I rack the slide it doesn't quite return to where it is supposed to be. It stays 1.5-2 mm behind where it is supposed to. However, this does not affect firing, and with a little 100% silicon lube on the rails it doesn't have the problem any more.
Anyway, on with the review!
2. Real-Steel History (Courtesy of Wikipedia)
The Beretta 92 pistol evolved from earlier Beretta designs, most notably the M1922 and M1951. From the M922 comes the open slide design, while the alloy frame and locking block barrel (originally from Walther P38) were first used in the M1951. The grip angle and the front sight integrated with the slide were also common to earlier Beretta pistols.
The Beretta 92 first appeared in 1976 and was designed by Carlo Beretta, Giuseppe Mazzetti and Vittorio Valle, all experienced firearms designers on the Beretta design team.
3. Build Quality
As you've read above, the KJW M92 Vertec is full metal, or as close as it can be. The real question is this:
How good is the metal?
I have put every metal part I can find through scratch tests, and have yet to have a place scratch under my fingernail. I won't try with my knives, because I know they'll get through the paint (they will get through even the toughest KWA orange paint ) but the paint appears to be very solid. All the metal parts make a nice clink when I flick them, not the nasty thunk that pot metal makes. The rails the slide, well, slides on are unpainted, but that is unsurprising, obviously. They show very little wear, but my guess is that will change while I own this gun.
All in all, I give the build quality a 8/10, just because the metal feels TOO light. However, this gun is by and large the best pistol I've owned, at least this far into the review.
Shall we continue? Or do you wish to leave before we hit the performance section? -
Well, obviously I cant account for yours. The review is on mine - And on mine.... There is no ghosting
Convinced me to get one. I've been on the fence for the last couple weeks, but I think I've fallen off.
The newest models at Ebaybanned supposedly don't have ghosting. Who knows how reliable this information is, however, and what the lemon rate is.

I want to go to the one in Louisiana so bad..
but I'll still be 16. Dammit!
And whoever explained it... thank you. Now just thinking about it makes me so damn excited I cant type straight (took me like 5 minutes to type this).

Political correctness is one of the most dangerous movements.
It makes harmless things dangerous. Simple.
Imagine
"I nearly blew up last night it was intense action!"
"Thats offensive to spontaneous combustion suffereseses!!!"
"Um..okay!...sorry?"
"No its too late now you voiced your opinion! hey jeff listen to this!"
"Ohh thats so racist! people blow up doing jihads!"
"Um...hang on....i didnt mean!
"RACIST!!!"
"Bu.."
"RACIST!!!!"
okay....too much coffee in my system
I agree so much... political correctness is ridiculous, to an extent. Calling someone a n***** is totally uncalled for, but how the government and the people in general are bending to the will of a very tiny minority of a minority. it's ridiculous.
sigged, BTW...

Nice guns.
