  1. yep. until you get negative rep from someone for posting simple facts beneficial to the other readers of the post....

    I hardly think this is 'simple facts beneficial to the other readers of the post'.

     

    Edit: I tend to agree with Snowman in that the reputation system doesn't show a users true merits but rather how popular one is on the forums.

  2. I accidentally gave And The Story Ends a positive reputation point for an unhelpful comment. Could you change it to a negative point?

     

    Also, he replied with a negative point even though the point I gave him was in accordance with the rules. I even cited what he said and said it was unhelpful and sarcastic.

     

    So far, I only see this system abused with people able to freely give each other points without much moderation. Perhaps a moderator should be assigned to clear reputation points?

  3. Hurlyman, really nice work on your paintjobs. I personally would've left the barrel black.

     

    Havoc Man, nice paintjob, but it's a bit too light of a green if you ask me.

     

    LeMongelo, not only do you have truly awesome guns that I wish I could own, you know how to take good pictures of them too. Keep pics coming. I'd really like to see what you can do.

  4. Eh, I find the C-Mags and then 8 hicaps a bit redundant. I can understand 2 C-Mags, but I'd rather have standards for other reasons.

     

    I've used standard magazines in a support role before. It works more as an automatic rifle than a dedicated SAW. Being able to reload quickly and close team work with your squad is very vital. I've had team mates hand me magazines in times when I've had to keep support fire up. Take note this is coming from someone who rarely bursts more than 8 rounds consecutively if I ever do burst at all. Just a difference in playing styles.

     

    Heck, I even added a wink at the end of that to show I was talking light heartedly. Odd how some people use smileys annoyingly often, yet can't read them when other people use them.

  5. This may be of interest to some of you;

     

    The grip angle of a 1911 is 18 degrees, which after extensive study both academically and more practically at places like Thunder Ranch, has proven itself to lend maximum pointability and recoverability after each shot. If you point your fingers in pistol-shape (forefinger and middle extended, ring and pinky to palm), chances are you'll end up with an 18 degree slant of your wrist when the fingers are "on target".

    It is also critical for quick target acquisition to use a gun that "points where you look", as many first-time shooters will tell you that they consistently shoot high with, say, a Glock, and low with an S&W 945.

     

    M.

     

    Actually, you are wrong there. The natural way of holding a pistol is much closer to the 45 degree angle of the Luger. They say you can naturally close your eyes and point a Luger at a target and it'll be right on target. I've held a replica and it is much more comfortable than the 1911. Much more exotic too. Believe me, I love the 1911, but I think the Luger's got it beat with it's pistol grip design.

  6. Actually, single stacker 1911s have thinner more rounded grips than their double stacked counterparts. I like other double stacked pistols, but the P14s and such really are too wide and boxy for my tastes.

     

    I love the look of the 1911, but it's an old gun. Single action only is a thing of the past. It's a great gun, but there are better alternatives out there. Still, I'm a proud owner of an airsoft 1911. :D

  7. I think the light was discontinued by Surefire. It'll cost upwards of 150-250 dollars if I recall correctly. But man does it look cool. I think an airsoft company came out with a replica for double stacked Infinities. Nothing for the single stackers yet. :(
