Have you suggested competitive paintball? Might be a better fit for him, if the realism aspect isn't too important. That, or Danish airsoft...that stuff is pretty much indistinguishable from paintball
Aesthetics. Simple as that.
I quite like the "FDE" bronze coloring. There are many options, but most of them are made for race guns, and for some asinine reason is usually a bright shiny color of some description - blue, silver, red etc. It's asinine.
Had a go at painting my newest HK416 - the black was getting old...
Fairly happy with the paintjob on the HK416. Might have to repaint the rest of the doo-dads to match it
Repainted my SFW, and had a go at painting my newest HK416 as well - the black was getting old...
The SFW needs an Aimpoint Comp2 in an ARMS M68 mount, and a Laser Devices OR-6 light.
