Camo question

I know the tacsop says m81 only for militia or Russian camo or green but would I be able to wear British dpm, I kinda don’t wanna buy an m81 top and dpm is all I got. You guys think that would be fine?

Eotech reticle for different zeros

The EOTech reticle is actually designed to hold two zeros at once so it's easier to do low probability shots. Do you guys actually use the rest of the reticle or have someone who was beneficiated by that?

Do you guys think it's worth having a EOTech for airsoft or not?

Eotech vs red dot?

I already own a Romeo 5 Red Dot and I was looking into all Express and found cheap and good quality looking eotech repros.

As a hardcore Milsim wannabe it is quite smart to use the EOTech reticle for shooting closer and longer distances but this is airsoft so I understand that it doesn't work as well as real steel.

Do you guys think it's worth for me to start using the EOTech/have anyone use the different reticle zeros for Airsoft?

And do you guys think that the EOTech reprose are good enough for night vision use (their night vision button only turns the reticle green)?

Thanks in advance

Looking for a DBAL-A2 with CRANE plug

Hello,

I own a Surefire DS-SR07-D-IT switch, it uses a CRANE plug in order to connect the switch to the ATPIAL.

I saw that Somogear sell an AN/PEQ-15 that is wired with a CRANE plug but I don't find any brand that sell a DBAL-A2 with this specific plug.

Do you know one ?

Thx.

Milsim Spieler aus Deutschland

Gibt es hier Milsim Spieler aus Deutschland? Nachdem mich Google und ASVZ nicht wirklich weiter gebracht hat, dachte ich mir ich versuche es einfach mal hier. Ich war seit Corona hauptsächlich inaktiv und möchte wieder mit dem Hobby anfangen. Leider sind mein altes Team und Kontakte mittlerweile so gut wie alle raus aus dem Hobby. Ich suche ein Team oder Spielerverbund im nördlichen Bayern(Unterfranken) darf von mir aus auch aus ganz Bayern oder Deutschland kommen um gemeinsam Milsim Events oder auch mal Tagesgames zu besuchen. Kurze Infos zu mir: Ich bin Anfang 30 und betreibe Airsoft seit ich 18 war. Ausrüstung ist sowohl Nato/ Usa als auch russisch vorhanden und weitere Investitionen um sich dem Team anzupassen sind auch kein Problem. Mehr Infos schicke ich gerne privat.
