Redshirt 1-7

Ninja...

Blood, sweat, tears, and a little lube...VFC M4, now with more paint. List of external/internal parts available on request. She (or maybe it's a he?) is almost done, though the last thing I'm seriously considering is a CQBR length barrel for it.

I see, sounds good. Do you think one of the newer CYMAs could handle an 11.1v lipo (I use mostly semi-only fire so not much auto shredding)? That's one of my main concerns right now, as I'm not keen on getting another battery and the ones they come with I never use.

I'm looking into getting an AKS-74u. Right now this one has my attention: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_206&products_id=4739 Is it reasonably compatible with real-steel parts (for instance, real handguards)? Any issues I should watch out for? Should I just get something else?

VFC M4A1 E-Series Gearbox: Retuned and rear-wired gearbox by a good friend of mine, not sure of the ROF but it's something leaning closer to 20 RPS on an 11.1v lipo. Replaced spring to shoot at ~350 FPS to be legal for MOUT here. All else is stock and it runs like a well-oiled toaster with instantaneous trigger response. Hop: Polar Star Concave Spacer, Systema Energy bucking, Madbull Black Python 6.03 tightbore in 363mm length. On .28s and in ideal conditions it's pushing something like 200 feet, or possibly slightly more range. It might be more than that, as I have taken some

A well-detailed review. Tried skirmishing it? Though to be honest, if someone showed up with one of those and used it as a transition weapon inside MEDs, I would probably floor them for being so irresponsible.

Somewhat bad photo, best I could do though. Those pesky wires under the rail are gone now. Started life as a VFC M4 E-series in late 2010, from there it's gone through a fair amount of parts internally and externally. I've finally settled with a pseudo-SR15 build.

My humble offering of the People's weapon. I'm not entirely sure of it's exact specs since the internals are all rebranded stuff. The base gun is a JG AK Beta, the internals are all sourced from Echo1 parts. Wired to deans with an 11.1v LiPo.

My humble offering... It looks worse in this photo than in person, I assure you. Any tips? Going to try to get a MAP or some such thing for it.

It's not even so much that a new battery can't be had right now, it's just that once you factor the battery, charger, tech fee to get the gun rewired, ect. that it becomes a secondary thing.

A small issue of $$$ combined with being paranoid about flaming/exploding batteries as well as not having a good place to store one. I also didn't realize how much I needed one until recently. Yup. It works quite well actually, they line up almost perfectly. It looks a bit whack but it stands out at least...
