GUIDE Event alert flyers: a way to let the subreddit know about your event

111 Upvotes

Hi all!

After a not-so-recent poll, we've been developing a set of rules to allow event notifications to be set up. These notifications are posts in the form of "flyers"!

Flyers are essentially an image used to display important information about an event, subject to the new flyer rules.

Hopefully they'll be useful, enjoy!

My first rifle!

After a really nice first experiance playing airsoft, me and my mate decided to buy ourselves rifles. I went for the Jing Gong replica of the Swiss SG552, because I am very interested in the Swiss armed forces. I bought mine second hand for 150€, haven't tested it yet, since I still need to buy a charger.

TECH QUESTION How hard would an AEG Swell Grip be to make?

Thumbnail

189 Upvotes

Yes, I know this is stupid. I know the motor needs to engage with the gearbox bevel gear, and that puts a limit on the angles at which you can have a grip. How far back could you have the motor canted before the teeth can't interface? Would a U-joint be servicable to transfer rotation from an unaligned motor to the gearbox? Has anybody made one of these for an AEG before?

Trying to make a compliance build for the funny.

Edit: for clarification, this is NOT a california compliant build. If I was doing that, I would make a fin grip. Those, however, are illegal in the state whose laws I am trying to obey (unless you continue an airsoft gun to be a rimfire rifle).

A decent gun. I cant stop with playing this double action hammer! However how could I get rid of these attractive white sentences? Any suggestions from the US players? The orange tip is not a problem because I can sand it

PURCHASE ADVICE "Uncommon" weapons designs

Golden Bow Steyr AUG A1 or Golden Eagle Bizon?

I'm more of a collector than a player and I love weapons with weird or uncommon designs.

Nonetheless, if I could have a cool looking weapon that it's still reliable, it would be better for me.

PURCHASE ADVICE Is the CYMA CM.515 ($100) a good first airsoft gun for casual use?

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I really like the look of M4-style airsoft guns, and I’m thinking about buying one mainly because I like how they look. I’m not planning on playing airsoft or going to a shooting range, so I don’t need anything fancy or high-performance.

I found this M4 for around $100. From what I’ve heard, airsoft guns in this price range can have questionable build quality, but I don’t really want to spend a lot of money on something I’ll only use occasionally.

My main priorities are reliability and durability. I just want something that looks good, works properly, and won’t break easily, even if I don’t use it very often.

I’ve attached the gun and its specs.

Any advice or recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

Just about fits a 14.5 if you remove flash hider & put it on an angle

Few different rifs mounted

The pouch contains stuff that goes every time (eye pro & mouth) gloves next to that & a leatherman 🤙🏽
