  1. Im actually thinking of getting the '12, just for novelties sake as ive had an unexpected winfall...Clearly its not gonna be ptw grade, but is the plastic decent quLity ie not brittle abs thats lite asa feather? Well, I can fford this, the bison svd, and ive haggled a trader down to 80 kwid for a jg a47 (advertised as SVD, but clearly a marksman variant ak47( the tanker stocks, selector, and furniture are pure ak)...which of these three wd be best?

    Honestly all of those sound like pretty terrible choices, but I guess it depends on what you're trying to do.

  2. Awesome dude, see you there.  My team is probably running NATO this time around, had a bad experience with the sheer amount of scrubbery on militia last time unfortunately.

     

    Ah, well then you will probably not see me there! I will be hiding in the dark Russian night, observing all treacherous western invaders and preparing to put them in the graves I just dug.

  3. The big reasons to go with repros over the original is that it's really stupid difficult to find actual ZenitCo items anywhere that will actually ship internationally without massive markup. Russian Thunder's prices are stupid, as are Legion USA's. If you actually just want a product without big headaches,the TWI/Asura stuff is ready to go. That said there are still plenty of items that repros don't exist for that I wouldn't mind having.

  4. That shirt implies you're in Hawaii.

     

    The gear implies you're in Zimbabwe.

     

    ...Hawaiibwe?

     

    I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but I've been following the trail of "President" B. Hussein Obama's birth certificate for years. Operatives of the illegitimate government oppose us at every turn in the ultimate shadow war. Only TRUE PATRIOTS can oh whatever I quit

  5. In that case would not hip fire or just bothering to invest in a folding stock for your troops help? :P

    Hot tip: all of the guys in that photo HAVE folding stocks. They aren't using them, because folding stocks are pretty much a bad idea in any actual shooting situation. Short-stocking is always going to be faster, and afford you more options, that folding or unfolding a stock.

  6. I read that even on real steel akms, the stock would have some nasty wobble. Renegade: my thread seems to be one piece together with sight/gas block. Will take a closer look later =)

     

    Yes, I had a real AKMS for a while. It's not a good stock design.

    Not pictured: my new E&L AK74MN. I can say definitively that in terms of overall feel and confidence that the E&L is better than the LCT. It's heavier and feels sturdier. I hear that the LCTs have somewhat better internals.

    But either is a good choice and I don't think you'd regret them. You might regret an AKS-74U, though. :P

  8. MSW and East Wind are the only events I've experienced that fit that bill, but either of those makes most games that call themselves "milsim" sound like a joke. But, this year will be the last East Wind. Of course, at EW you might go several days without shooting anything, but I personally have always found it incredibly satisfying, if sometimes painful.

  9. Just drive up north to MSW games :D

     

    I did that once. Never again. Flying is the better option.

     

    And honestly I think most of the people I'm talking to would consider AMS at the lower speedball limit of what milsim is. There's growing support for it, at least here in SoCal, but the property values are so high and everything is so developed that it is very very difficult to find locations.

  10.  

    Out at Gamepod Combat Zone (San Francisco, CA area) last weekend for Redwolf's Operation: Rising Sun playing on "Green Team."

     

     

     

    How was this? I hear mostly a lot of sad comments from NorCal people about how sorry the state of milsim is up there, and how far they are willing to travel to experience something cool.
