  1. "Wakes up at 3am, decides that if the day is going to be rough later on, he might as well reread Black Lagoon."

      I like your style. I should really re-read Gunsmith Cats...

      I ended up finding a translation for the first of the two novels as well, made that morning even better.

      Good work!

  2. Drake, I applaud you sir, the envy is strong with you.
  3. RC, you have more modern kit than me for sure now. I need to fix that (but I cant't...) Brain, whether that is a hat or balaclava that you modded, that is perhaps the most practical fake winter beard+mustache look I have seen in a while.
  4. Sigh, I miss playing MAG. S.V.E.R till the day I die!

  5. Renagade, I just realized that save for the gp-25 and the akms' grip, I could have matched your collection on the dot. Even got the same rifle case. Got a steel receiver and full stock today, along with an Egyptian rear sight leaf., transferred my aks-74's guts, front end, and other bits over. Photos and me never mix well, so warning in advance.
  6. Ckinnerley, exactly what airsoft scenario specifies a Gangnam patch and if so, please tell me it involved at least 100 field attendees who made up a "HSLD Style" parody.
  7. Gah, next to tvtropes, I should never be allowed to read anything on the Warhammer40k wiki. I want to see someone pull off a Death Korps of Krieg airsoft impression now...

      I did plan a kind of full day or weekend 'Guard v Cultists' but never got enough interest :P.

       

      Still there are many out there, often the easier ones to do like Tanith (black tight top, camo cloak and matching camo trousers, typical webbing and done).

      I just think Imperial Guard mindset works well during those slaughterfest days at a field. 50+ players get hit during an assault to secure a flag? "Acceptable losses"

      Interestingly enough, I have seen some good Krieg cosplays, but apparently using modified Swiss uniforms rather than German. I wonder how people would make the various weapons of the factions in airsoft form. I like to think that airsoft Shootas would all just be made loud with a gas system built into the underside of the barrels, similar to how people make inert machineguns sound off via propane.

  8. Advance Wars being ported to the Wii U? I might actually have a reason to use the gamepad now. Now if only they would make an actual new title for the series on the system as well...

      OMGOMGMGOMGMOMG R U 4 SRS. If they come out with a wiiU specific version I will buy the wiiU just for the game. Heil Sturm

  9. That feeling when you want something you find on ebay and you want to kick the logic part of your brain out but you just can't....

    1. PureSilver

      PureSilver

      Feeling that really bad right now for an ancient SureFire pistol torch...

  10. faramon, you just need to open up an airsoft field with a store (and bar) that is just staffed with such dapperness as you have shown. That blows the water out of anything I have ever seen done locally. On an off-topic note, why have I forgotten to keep with your blog? So much win there.
  11. Time to open a gearbox, I am sure nothing could possibly go wrong.

    1. Tinkerton

      Tinkerton

      Hop units are tricky, but nowt really difficult. Also, the v3 gearbox is one of the easiest to work on.

    2. Seraphim989

      Seraphim989

      GBBs are MUCH nicer to work on. I gave up on AEGs after 6 years of messing with them

      Part of me wants to go get an GHK AKM, but the other part of me says my wallet cannot let me right now, I barely use my aegs as it is, and I am laughable at filling even gbb pistol magazines. They sure look tempting though...

  12. Do we have a "What peculiar airsoft matter occurred to you today?" thread and if not, where should it go?

    1. renegadecow

      renegadecow

      Regulars? Off topic?

    2. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      That is the thing. I almost think technical as well, since what I want to start off with that just occurred in the last 30 minutes is technical-wise. It just seems off to rant about it in the "My Eyes!" thread.

  13. Just when I started looking at RK.95 again... If only the battery space wasn't against me.
  14. Spending today trying to properly clean and eventually polish a pair of boots. First time I've encountered saddle soap, and it smells so good...

  15. Three things that modern television can learn from The A-Team. 1. Your protagonists' greatest skills should be that of jumping onto people. 2. Everyone on the show must be a honor graduate of the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy. 3. Everyone must use the same arms dealer. 4. Whenever the protagonists must pretend to be police or customs agents in a foreign country, always ensure they speak with an assortment of bad English accents.

      And you forgot the most important rule of all: 5. If you can't afford to go and film in another country just go out to Dave's shack in the woods with a few old M16s and Chinese AKs and film there.

  16. First time I have been able to connect to Arnies in quite some time (at least for me). There was not another update right?

      Must be a US thing. Fine over here.

      Had the same thing, though I could access the home/news page fine.

  17. Just want to have people from other countries chime in on a thought today. Is it common/accepted that most fields are in fact rented paintball fields in one's area? How do people feel about the situation in their own areas?

    1. Gigueand

      Gigueand

      The majority in MI are paintball fields where an airsoft event host from a local team partners with the field owner. Basically the event host runs the game, while the owner sits back, takes the cash and provides the field.

    2. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      Gigueand explained well what I was going to say. Like steaktipz though, I am not much a fan of the paint.

    3. Inari

      Here in Ireland virtually all of the sites are dedicated airsoft - no paintball

  18. It is quite sad to see an item you would want during a random ebay trolling, only to see it already in the process of being bidded lik made in the final minutes. I suppose it is a good thing that I don't have an ebay account.

    1. renegadecow

      renegadecow

      Not unless you're the one selling.

  19. The issue with them is that they basically tried to take Chinese model externals like Real Sword's style, and make them appear Russian. What I mean is that you have type 56 parts like the rear sight base being used for the ak74 models and whatnot, along with quite a few details that are off, yet they are being marketed as being fully realistic/exact replicas. At least, that is the gist I get from previous discussions elsewhere. If you want something that has the dimensions of a Real Sword but needs a bit of external work done to not look wonky, it's worth taking a look, maybe. The sv
  20. To quote FireKnife, "Freeeederm!" for a few weeks finally.

      You're now an independent country?

      Maybe he has just finished up for Christmas? Like me after today :P.

      Finished exams yesterday, and now I get to sit around save for the occasional family events.

  21. 22 now, and still feeling like I'm 80...

    2. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      Actually, yes, something like that with my right arm/hand that makes it difficult to write (especially in the upcoming finals). I really just have always felt quite so old over the years, as though I should have been born in an earlier decade.

    3. renegadecow

      renegadecow

      Son, you're talking to someone who thinks he should have been born more than a century earlier.

  22. Cyber-monday gone by, and I couldn't be arsed enough to look at the "deals" by retailors for myself. Anyone else got this horrible cure of the sweet sickness?

  23. Sigh, trying to work on a paper, and upstairs, my bigot of a father is exclaiming his bigotry views to my brother-in-law, who I actually feel bad for right now for having to put up with him...

    1. NonEx

      NonEx

      Perhaps not, but we can choose to murder our family. MUWHAHAHA... ah ehhh... :o

      Too far....I prefer to keep mine chained in the basement.

      To think that earlier this week all the professors were asking how excited people were to be going back home. Considering I do everyday, not so much.

       

      I barely ate anything and proceeded to hide in my relative's basement whilst my father proceeded to rant to everyone and embarrass us.

  24. Some days, you just really want to see an angry mob go by, so you can join them.

  25. If I see once more that COD Ghosts "live action" commercial one more time, I am going to start foaming at the mouth. Of all the things that could come up for advertisements on youtube, why has that occure 30 times in a row today?

    1. Seraphim989

      Seraphim989

      Battles in space...and I thought they couldn't get any worse...

    2. FireKnife

      FireKnife

      The battles in space and under the sea looks hilariously fail. Think I might just rent it to see how bad it is, that way I don't have to keep it after loling too much. :P

      Probotector

      I wonder if the dog comes along into space with its own spacesuit.
