Four Main Rules of Firearms Safety

Before handling an airsoft gun or real firearm, remember, and remind those around you about these rules.

  • Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
  • Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
  • Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
  • Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Please message the mods if something is broken or wrong.

How bad is this wobble?

Was cleaning my brother's replica which he doesn't want anymore and noticed this wobble between the hop up unit and the receiver. I was going to upgrade this gun as part of my learning process on teching an aeg and wanted to know if this warrants a replacement of the hop up unit or if the issue is lying elsewhere.

A bit more information on the replica: It's a ROSSI Sentinel Kappa 12" fully stock. It was disassembled and reassembled as part of transportation but as far as I am aware the only thing "modded" was the lack of the dustcover bit that shields the hop up unit

Edit: somehow the video didn't go through, sorry

Attachment problem

I have a esg bullpup 10 shotgun, and in the picture below, I was wondering if there is an attatchment I can rest my fingers on. I do have mlok rails to attach stuff to and I do have a forward grip on. I also have a flashlight, laser, and red dot on, any other suggestions for attachments for a shotgun?

Looking for a good SIG SG552

https://preview.redd.it/5kx9e39vvlge1.png?width=375&format=png&auto=webp&s=89d0b1783a51a44cedf9170c512c83449d40ebb3

I really like carbines, and am trying to find a SG552. I’ve heard that the G&G is the best one, but it’s $350 and sold out on evike anyways. The Cybergun/JG one doesn’t look promising, because your options are either metal receiver with EBB (EBB has a bad rep) or plastic receiver (Not my thing).  I'm pretty sure the ICS one is discontinued.

All I want is a SG552, anyone know where/how to get one?

Airsoft gun similar to the DRG LOK-1

Hi, I was wanting to mod an airsoft gun to look like the lok-1 from deep rock galactic, and I'm having trouble finding one that looks similar enough to not need too major modifications.

I’m old what’s cool nowadays?

I started playing when I was very young around 2015 into about 2018 when I got my first car and then financial priorities took hold. Back then VFC 416s and Systema ptws were the shit. GMR was the all holy, and their minimaps I had 3 of them. Crye was huge, their Jpc and Avs. Patagonia PCUs and the green old school surplus night camo parkas. Trademarked glocks were almost impossible to find. At least this was the new york strike force scene. Is any of this stuff cool anymore?

Evike Custom VFC HK416

Looking to purchase a 416 / 417 and leaning towards the VFC 416. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences on the Evike Custom Build? It seems to add around $750 to the price, probably includes about $400 or so worth of parts. I’m sure I can build it cheaper, but anything wrong with going with this option.

Use headset with Baofeng without PTT

I use a Condor H-Harness with a padded belt and keep my Baofeng radio at the end of the pad, just before the suspender part starts, in a molle pouch for it so I don't need to use a PTT as the PTT button on the radio is comfortably reachable. Problem is I want to get a Peltor replica soon and they use the U94 connector, but the only kenwood to U94 adapters I've found have PTTs on them.

Any workarounds for this?

Good or fair quality pant with insertable knee pads + doesnt break the bank?

would prefer if they were in either multicam or ranger green, anyone have any go to brands could be from a good seller or from amazon id just rather not spend 300 for cryes and want to get something for when the weather clears up to play

insert knee pads are a complete must tho, my knees arent getting younger but i hate how regular knee pads slide down unless theyre blood restricting tight

G&G ESG B10 Gas tank

Hello comrades. I am now the proud owner of an ESG B10. However, there are questions to which I cannot find an answer. How do I get the remaining gas from the airsoft? Can it be left in? Can't imagine that's good for the marker.

Would a different company's parts fit my ak.

So, I just bought the Evolution E 74 tanker, but i don't really dig the furniture on it. I'm looking for something a bit more "modern" or practical. I just wanted to ask if a different company's product would fit mine. Are they universal? For example, I saw this Zenitco Handguard and I'm wondering about compatibility issues. I'm new to airsoft so excuse the lack of knowledge.

Loose inner barrel fix?

Ordered a new outer barrel for my EF Glock 19 Gen 5 and the inner barrel feels very loose compared to the original.

I assume it's the orange tip is what keeps it in place but I want to see if theres a fix.

I bought the barrel from Evike and it's made by VFC themselves so I thought it would've fit fine.
