PHILARPAT camo King Arms M79
My platinum QBS Gearbox ddmk18 literally no longer works after being perfectly fine for almost a year.
Long story short, gun randomly started being weird, fresh battery connected, startup sound, then when i press the trigger, it makes a noise like it doesnt have enough battery for a shot then the start up noise happens again. Took it to a local shop, replaced with a new fresh battery then it worked (I used 11.1 and 7.4 lipo batteries, originally worked completely fine with both). bought new batteries, charged them, tested it before going to the field it worked fine. Went to the field, shot a few rounds then it started to stutter then completely stopped working.
Now, even with a fresh battery, the startup sound happens, then when i press the trigger, nothing happens, no response.
I looked into the issue online and found people had similar problems, apparently its the mosfet and people have had the same issues right out of the box. I got the AEG on evike, so what should my next step be? i absolutely love the gun and i want to get it working again but i dont want to have this happen again. Should i get new internals? if anyone else has had the same issue, how did you solve it?
looking to taking it back to the local shop seeing if it can be fixed or resolved but im willing to bet it wont work very shortly after lol.
What do you guys think of my workaround (gambiarra) Nvg in Brazil is really expensive. I ordered a night vision binocular. Used 2 wide lens with tape to increase doc. I have to add weight in the helmet to support this thing now 🤪😁
Hello all , I’ve been a player for a over a year now and I’ve had several guns go through my hands , i currently own
a custom built TM HI-Capa A Tm MP7A1 with a air tak hpa adopter (which is broken for unknown reasons) A G&G Armament GC16 Warthog Combat Machine, 12'' ( also motor issues)
I’m a player who enjoys CQB sites much more than woodland sites but I do tend to venture and try these types of sights , but due to past experience e.g braking my anckle on a woodland site I tend to play very passive and attempt to play at range while still behind able to use it at a CQB site
I’m looking for a AEG which can provide me the needed range to clear roughly 40m at minimum with not major or hard upgrades needed , as of now I have narrowed it personally to 2 guns
ARCTURUS PP-19-01 Vityaz-SN
Novritsch SSR77 A2 AUG
Any extra thoughts, suggestions or guns would be greatly appreciated thank you
Any tips and ideas, I have a vest, so I want that. For weapon(s) I'm thinking the Cyma XM4. Let me know!
Hey, really looking forward to purchasing a VFC URGI 14.5 gbb just have some questions!
Where do you guys purchase them? It seems everywhere I look there sold out. Why? And where can I buy one? Link?
How’s the recoil in general for VFC gen 3’s? Is it better than a Tokyo Maroui
What’s the future of GBBRs and airsoft? I mean I feel like the industry and the tech has advanced so much I don’t see what other things they could innovate in.
Thanks
Got shot directly in the mic and now it plays a constant ringing noise. Is there anything I can do to fix the microphone or do I have to buy a new pair?
They are the Earmor M31 https://a.co/d/4QPesxC
First way seems to be belt holster, but my PC gets in the way of where my pistol would sit.
Next is drop leg holster, which I am leaning towards but people seem to hate on it. Opinions?
PC holster. Some people holster their pistol on their plate carrier, though this is more rare and not seen in airsoft often.
Any other options to consider? Any opinions on drop leg holster?
So, this is a bit of an odd request, but what is the best feeling airsoft pistol?
A little back story: I haven't played airsoft in well over a decade. I found one of my old, crappy pistols in a box in my attic, and it felt great to just mess around with it for a bit. I never really had any cool gas blowback pistols myself, but I always enjoyed just playing with the slide, reloading, etc. with friends' guns.
Basically, I want to get a pistol...but I don't really have any plans to actually play airsoft. I mainly just want to use it something to idly play with while watching movies or messing around.
So, ideally I'm just looking for something that looks and feels great, but doesn't necessarily need to perform great. I'm hoping that can save me some money if I don't need top tier performance. I'm an adult who can absolutely afford basically anything on the market, but it feels silly to drops hundreds of dollars on a glorified fidget spinner if I don't care about performance.
Having said that, if there's something goddamn amazing in the $200-300 range...there's always a chance I'll do something irresponsible and whip out the credit card...so feel free to recommend whatever you favorites are.
Hi, I was thinking about getting an mp5 hpa adapter but don't know if the novritsch ones will work
I didn’t maintenance on my gun today with the silicone oil. I put it on the hammer and slide, but now the trigger is getting harder to pull and the slide is sticky.
I have a vorsk vmp1 but it’s fps is way to low for outdoor use. How can I increase my fps? I bought 2 kwa nozzles but is it the nozzle body or the nozzle internals that affect the fps?
I need some help identifying these goggles(circled in red). If it helps, this photo was taken in the early 2000's.
Hello, Christmas is coming around the corner and my boyfriend has been really into airsoft recently. He said he likes a black digital camouflage look.. i have no idea what i should get for him as i have no knowledge in airsoft gear. Any help or links to items is appreciated (im looking for cheaper options if possible)
I’ve been searching for a while for this hand guard for a pp-19-01 vityaz because I want to make a kapkan loadout. Thanks for any help!
I just bought my first airsoft gun, this one (Cyma FN P90). Her butt is made of gun plastic, so I'm worried that the plastic will get a lot of dents from the games or it will crack altogether
I'm not that proficienct with real steal firearms, so therefore I don't know the term, but I am looking for an Airsoft Pistol (CO2 or GBB) with the aesthetic similar to the Kriss Kard, or the Westar 35 (Star wars). Where the space from the trigger guard to the end of the barrel is filled with... Something? I know Glocks can have attachments like lights that sort of fit that role, but I was wondering if there's something more permanent? Any recommendations? I've seen a lot of the AAP-01 with a "shotgun" attachment (ShowGuns Hawking Prophecy Doomsday but I haven't seen any for sale in the UK.
Hello y'all,
Been scoundring the internet for a while and can't seem to find any spare parts for that,
Imma be fast, I want to change the lower of my M4 (lancer tactical LT29 something something needletail i think) to an Arp9 lower, so i can use 9mm mags instead, i prefer the look and feel of those mags,
But i can't find ANY website selling just the lower body, Seems like i'll have to buy a whole arp9 for that,
Do y'all know any website that sells such a part in Europe, Preferably in France?
(Oui baguette :D)
Thanks in advance, and keep shootin' guys!
