lightemup99 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Sigma, do you find that the Mangier is worth the extra weight? Do you use it enough to justify having it on your rifle? Â Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Mangier? I'm going to go way out on a limb here and guess that you meant "magnifier." Â I don't have a good answer to your question, really. I do use it from time to time, but it's not as fast to use as I'd like so for quick acquisition and most actual shooting, I leave it down. It's a bit heavy, I suppose, and that might bother some people. Personally, I've gotten pretty used to hauling a SAW or EBR around, so whatever weight I could put on this weapon still strikes me as quite easy to manage! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 The tiny suppressor on my AI is one of those function over form things to keep the overall length down, I've no idea if this would be of any use on real steel: Â Â The KAC can also fits on my M249 (MK46 wannabe): Â Â Last and least: Â Â Â The Glock is not really functional since the can hits the guide rod; this could probably be remedied with a couple of washers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EscapeArtist Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 ^You're the only other person I've ever seen use an M4 bottom rail on an SD6... besides me and some random DEVGRU guy that I got inspired by Kudos to good ideas I use a random velcro piece for mine.

validtumoralarm Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I would say that mod is more an example of a lack of anything better. He probably hose clamped an RIS on there because he couldn't find a better way to mount a grip. . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EngageNZL Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 And here is my own silenced gun in the form of one very highly tuned CA AUG A1. To be honest I don't know exactly what parts are in this gun, as its about 6 years old and has 3 owners in total. All I know is that it has the PDC(?) hop unit in it, Guarder gearbox internals and a PDI tightbore. Tightbore runs to just inside the standard flashhider, which was removed in order to mount the silencer, which works like a charm apparently. ~15m shot, target didn't hear it. Â Running at 380 on 0.28s. Longest confirmed kill at 360 feet. Â Â It's the rifle being used in this pic taken at the NZ Nationals recently. Â Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jackster802 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 360ft seems crazy. Thats 120yards. Thats hard to do with a .22 let alone an airsoft gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EngageNZL Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Well I'm certainly not the only person to shoot an airsoft gun that far. A few minutes browsing on youtube turns up 300+ foot shots from multiple weapons platforms. As both Bane and myself have said, this gun has had a LOT of work put into it. I doubt the shot could be easily done, but it was a confirmed kill nonetheless. I know both the firer and the guy who got hit, who can verify their positions on the field at the time of the shot. I'm fairly sure it was part of a small burst rather than a single shot, but a kill's a kill. Â Same discussion happened in the AEG Sniper's thread, or maybe the DMR thread, I forget which. This gun is around 6 or 7 years old now, and has had hours and hours put into making everything work perfectly. Both me and the previous owner wanted it tuned for accuracy, so that's what we got.

Jackster802 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well props to you and whoever got that kill. Definitely shows how airsoft is evolving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EngageNZL Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Cheers. Â Most definitely. That gun has come a long way. This is very much an "in-house" gun. As in it's only allowed to be sold to within a certain group of us, just because it's such a treasured weapon. We don't want some douchebag buying it, then changing stuff and breaking it or lowering its performance. I think I'll be holding onto it for a long while though, even if it's not going to get much use while I'm busy with uni/away on Basic. Â Just goes to show what you can pull off with some time and a little moolah haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Short Stack Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Adding on what he said, here in PA where polarstars run rampant due to our local shop, 300 foot shots are commonplace. But some guy brought an HPA tuned sniper rifle and running 750 fps, his minimum engagement distance was 200 feet. Why? The gun shot 220+ yards/meters. Apparently, when a BB wizzed by you you could hear the air displacement it made. I was on his team and it was awesome, you would hear a loud pop, and then a couple seconds later "OW! HIT!".

Kalashnikov_kid Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) My suppressed Ruger MK1's  On 134a the loudest thing is the hammer!   Debating if I should paint the can or keep it blinging! Edited March 5, 2012 by Kalashnikov_kid 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 That is sick! Â I take it the inner barrel extends to the end of the silencer? What does it chrono/accurancy like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov_kid Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 The barrel is 18" long and the suppressor ends 8" after it. Fps is around 350 on cold 134a. Both guns sport metal baffles and foam lined expansion chambers. The carbine has 6 chambers and a ported outer barrel. The pistol has 5 chambers. Very quiet guns!
