uscmCorps Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I and others I know well have ordered multiple times on multiple occasions from DragonRedAirsoft and never had any problems over the course of the last couple years. That is of course purely our opinion based off our first hand experience, but my friend ordered off the site a week or two ago and already received his helmet which he said arrived safe and sound and it was a painless transaction. So that seems pretty current. From what I recall of the basic vs. premium version helmets, the difference is mostly to do with the materials used, thickness of materials and overall quality. For example, the "ballistic" premium type helmet they sell is dimensionally quite accurate compared to the RS M/L ballistic helmet and that is in large part thanks to the fact that the premium ballistic replica actually has a thick shell like the real helmet. The premium helmets are very decent replicas, but are only available AFAIK through DragonRedAirsoft. To be honest, unless you must have one of the premium replicas, if you elect to buy a cheaper replica there are a lot of retailers that sell the cheaper version.

Thanks. I have the money for the premium so I'll order one. Just have to decide between the Carbon and Ballistic style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Extraordinaire Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Slapped a Wilcox L4 shroud on my AirFrame. Not sure how I feel about it just yet. -Ex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctres94 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Looks better than the VAS IMO, it's nice to see a change. Also, are there several versions of the replica l4g24 out there? Yours looks very bronze while some other pics I've seen make them look more silver like the real one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Extraordinaire Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 This is the FMA one. It has a bit more color to it in certain lights. The other alternative is the Emerson G24, which is just basic silver with tan bits. -Ex Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vila Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've got the FMA and it's nice and solid. It has a nice, thick shell with a good finish. I'd say it's closer to the DragonRed than the Emerson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kunlun Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Mine is the Emerson and it is really really silver lol ... I sprayed mine now so it's better. Wish I bought a FMA one when they were in stock ;( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
St Matt Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Would anyone be so kind as to show me how you properly attach the helmet covers on the FAST helmets please? Mine is the FMA helmet and Emerson cover. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GhostWolf Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Minor updates to my bump lid, purely for airsoft functionality: The SF helmet light mount is bolted directly to the rail for a lower profile. The headset has the straps removed and is screwed directly into the helmet from the inside. The padding on the earpiece has also been removed, allowing the speaker to float over the ear without impeding hearing or causing discomfort. Looks like I can further simplify things by replacing the left side mask strap with a simple bit of Velcro on the bottom loop of the headset. Still planned: Element/Z Tac mic light Homemade version of the planned Oakley eye shield Where did you get the glasses/goggles from? It's what I am after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
