  1. Mate showed this to me, and I immediately thought of you RC.

      Can't say I haven't thought of it though if I did I'd probably try it with a VZ61 drum just to keep things to scale.

  2. Quick question to those of you with ye old cyma bizons, what length air nozzle do you end up using with one?  I have a shs long one atm for it, but I figure maybe the shorter one might be better, as for some reason it was not feeding well/compression was off at my last local game.  I'm awaiting new gears before I finish trying to rebuild it. 

     

    Also odd tip for those of you who buy shs nylon piston heads and find the orings not doing well for compression tests: since #14 ones from the hardware store seem to not alter much due to how deep the channel is, I just tried wrapping a bit of teflon tape around the channel a bit and put the original oring on and seems to be duing the trick.  Probably actually making it worse due to being too much but I'll probably end up taking it apart again in the future.

  3. Anyone know what his happening with the Red Alliance forums?  Haven't been able to get on there for some time, seems the site is down.

      I was on it about 2 weeks ago so fingers crossed its not down for too long.

      I saw an update from one of the mods that they were addressing it, but at the moment it just pops up a box asking for username/password with "suspended/restricted" in the tab window.  I naturally decline to try my info.

      Rejoice, the forums are back!

  4. That feeling when you keep throwing money at reddit sales for random Russian gear just to fill the emptiness for a brief moment.

  5. Someone finally made an an94 replica complete with pulley...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbZM2XvUdfk

      Jesus Christ that nozzle!

  6. Heard LCT has a rpk drum mag in the works, anyone betting it will fail like all the others?  If I ever got my rpk to actually work good I'd be tempted nonetheless.

  7. I await the eventual wrist cannon device using them or a moscart.
  8. On a whim I decided to look at a silly LCT aks74u variant that has a polmer folding stock, and saw it on firesupport.  Apparently not only is it cheaper/same price as the Asia shops, but somehow it ends up costing only a pound to ship to the USA?  (somehow VAT free line takes off 48 pounds off the 49 it showed).  Mind boggling when some of the Asia shops were charging 100 dollars or more.  Wish I had an excuse to test this out, I rather we got the downgraded fps versions here as well.

    G&G GTP-9

    I swear G&G must have a very good R&D budget lately. Am I the only one though that looks at my ps4 controller circle button though after seeing that mag release?
  10. Frankly I am sad no one has asked for a Marui themed one yet.
  11. Airsoft Day?  Airsoft Day...  AIRSOFT DAY!!!

  12. PBS-1 replica arrived for my Bizon. Had to dremel out a bit on the end (and fight the gearbox again after having to take it out to put longer inner barrel in). Despite being non-steel it still got a bit of heft to it and oddly enough makes the bizon front heavy somewhat now (which is what most folks assume the bizon on its own to be when it isn't airsoft wise). I'm sure the longer barrel won't play nice with the cylinder but hey, maybe it will drop the fps down low enough again to make it 5 ft MED again.
  13. Got this from a reddit post discussion, but anyone with better ears to the ground can comment on this?  Supposedly G&G making a type 64 replica:

      Doesn't look like the one by S&T at any rate

  14. I saw a few of the TWI ones at the last rec game I went to, kinda want to get some. I do love running the cyma 40 rounder midcaps in my ak100 carbine. Quick question, but what is the consensus on PBS-1 replicas out there atm, and anyone got experience with one for the cyma bizon? I kinda been having the odd thought today of getting one for mine and possibly taking the stock brass barrel of an ak74 model out of storage, build a hop up setup for it, and basically have two barrel sets (not sure if I would have to change cylinders but hoping not).
  15. Anyone with a LCT RPK/74 got any imput on barrel length?  I hear about the barrel being too long and folks going for shorter ones or getting "bore up" kits, yet others that say its fine just get another hop up.

      I had @DarkLite put a 640mm in mine the other day - will let you know what performance is like when I skirmish with it!

    2. Gunmane

      Are you running a suppressor replica on it or something?  The longest I heard for mine was 610mm stock barrel...

    3. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      any updates?  I managed to get my model's stock barrel out and it is indeed 610mm.

  16. I would say most definitively yes. Going to guess PPS brand, though I have thought about if that one's stock could fit on a cyma one somehow. Also reminds me I still need to get the metal flashhider to replace the yucky orange plastic on mine, and that I still want that camo.
  17. Me trying out the somewhat oversized Sumrak suit on sunday at local game.
  18. I'd like to hear folk's thoughts on the G&G CM16 LMG being shown off lately.  I agree with most detractors about the cost, the fact that the internals are not really built for the role it is supposed to represent, etc. but for some reason I just like the look of it (and folks will know I am anything but an armalite fan at all) due to the shape of the upper.  I kinda want to see what G&G would do to make an ak variant of the same concept, whether they would take one of their rk74 rifles and slap a drum mag on it or would they bother designing a rpk length receiver, maybe make a pseudo rpk-16.

      Nothing against it really, not to my taste but I'm not sure that there's anything inherently unsuitable about the v3 gearbox for LMG usuage. But as these type of light weight LMG's become more common - rpk16 is a good example - milsim organisers will have to think a bit different about how they class and balance them. I'd suggest 12kg - weight of gun = weight you have to carry on your person AT ALL TIMES haha. Easy!

      I hardly ever see LMGs on the field and I'd like to see more, especially if it means regular ARs/SMGs being limited to semi-auto. I'd happily take a couple of these pretty-clearly-just-a-dressed-up-AR-15 things if that's what it takes to stop literally everyone else wasting 100rds at a time from their regular AEG.

  19. 3 years for the plastic model, another 5 years for the actual product, maybe 6-8 months for its release.
  20. Apparently I missed this month's local game because it was only posted on private page on fb.  Kinda a punch in the gut feeling now.

      Well that sucks big time ! That picky over who’s money is good enough then ? 😡

      No, I just did not have a way to access said page at the time.  Rectified that for this month, though I don't like having a fb account.

  21. I really want to imagine these are all for one client who plays in full Deadpool cosplay and brings all of them with him onto the field strapped in whatever way he can.
  22. Dear Gott that is a lovely 553. Wish the 550 series (and perhaps the older 540 family) would for some inexplicable reason become popular again among manufacturers.
  23. Ordered a G&G Green bucking alongside ammo from airsoftatlanta, figured I'd give them some business again.  They somehow managed to send only the bucking and not the nub or retaining ring with it.  Installed it anyways since sending it back just not worth it but that just soured my day and my plans to do more business with them in the future. 

     

  24. After my dremel arrived today I was finally able to give Sonja some new handguards. Bottom sits nice and flush but the top despite being sturdy is wonky, but frankly I do not want to mess with it more. The MAG midcap is actually their quasi plum despite the poor lighting. I would love to get my hands on either the LCT or Cyma plum mags though. Sonja started out as part of two cyma/dboy kalashes I got many years ago, and has been made into a fixed wood stock for most of her life, had gearbox rebuilt multiple times (and failing just as much), and has so many random parts, including an Egy
