[QUOTE=Swamphunter;34365258]Welp. [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/IlvlA.jpg[/IMG_thumb] Anyone know of any cool aftermarket charging handles for CA M15A4s?[/QUOTE] How did you manage that?
It must have happened when I was moving it around during my move from my old house. The locking bit was there before I moved, and then it was gone today when I was sorting through my stuff.
my boyi/dboys plastic m4's charging handle completely broke off then the dust cover came off so the gearbox is showing lol
[QUOTE=FPKawaii;34364191]Gloves are gloves, get whatever you think looks cool.[/QUOTE] I have to disagree. I have a pair of surplus USGI wool gloves, and they're pretty mediocre for airsoft use. They have no grip because they're just smooth wool, and they get caught on velcro when I go in my pouches. I'd advise getting some kind of 'tactical' glove, but the big thing to remember is that they need to have thin fingers, otherwise you won't be able to get in the trigger guard.
Hey guys, I got a Pantac Ciras land and the back panel is really bunched up. It was like this when I got it, (today) and It's really starting to bug me. I'm assuming I need to adjust something, but I don't know what I should adjust. I can get you guys pictures if you need em, but it'll be a little while. So does anyone know what I need to do? Thanks!

On the opposite side of the back panel, under the "plate" should be the string running through to the other side that secures all of the straps.

[QUOTE=Psycoace2;34364846]Hate to ask another question, but where the hell can I pick up some MARPAT? It's the new requirement for playing over here.[/QUOTE] Wait a minute, there's a uniform requirement at a field? Or is it a team or what?
um. why do I want to tanify my gun so bad.

It's like the back straps are too tight for the back panel itself, and it's causing the panel to bunch up. [url]http://puu.sh/eom3[/url]
Hey guys, does anyone know what kind of vest/chest rig these Serbian MUP troops are using? Some digging around on the red-alliance airsoft forums led me to believe that most vests used by these troops were locally produced one-offs but I'm hoping that its not the case.

I think that's kinda how it goes for most unique loadouts. The gear is locally made, and impossible/near impossible to get. Maybe something like an FLC (minus US logo) could suffice, if you could at least get the bdu's
[QUOTE=ossumsauce;34366712]Wait a minute, there's a uniform requirement at a field? Or is it a team or what?[/QUOTE] Team requirement, but you don't play unless you're a guest or part of the team, and nobody else plays within an hour drive. However, I try to get out 1-2 times a month to other events.

[QUOTE=Neinman;34367474] Also the blue tigerstripe pattern is hard as FUCK to find.[/QUOTE] Not really. You just need to get 75 headshots using classic tiger stripe camo.
Polyester pants :v:
oh and adding on w/ commercial nyco being weird - my truspec acu combat shirt is like that too

[URL]http://puu.sh/eom3[/URL][/QUOTE] That's actually pretty common. My CIRAS and my friend's Shark Gear CIRAS both do that when you don't have any plates inserted. I bought some cheap plastic SAPI plates for mine and it works fine. Fits better with them too. Without Plates: [img]http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2564/dsc0135bz.jpg[/img] With Plates, not quite obvious, don't really have a better picture but it does help. It also helps to distribute the pressure that knot puts on your lower back. [img]http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7492/dsc0006hs.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Psycoace2;34365065]How bad is 65/35?[/QUOTE] I own a set, it's ok but the colour fades FAST. The site I used them at was mostly swampy so most of the day I was up to my nuts in water and mud. 3 games and washes and bam. Insta fade. Get the real deal through illegitimate means.
can someone recommend me a good, reliable, yet somewhat affordable 1911A1? is the WE a piece of shit?
KWA is rereleasing their M1911A1 I believe if you like KWA 1911's. Edit: And no not late because I knew several months ago, before shot show.
KSC/KWA have always had problems with their 1911s. The only way to go is TM or WA. TM would be a little more affordable/easier repaired and maintained.
[QUOTE=MedicmanV500;34371730]can someone recommend me a good, reliable, yet somewhat affordable 1911A1? is the WE a piece of shit?[/QUOTE] For the last time, no WE is not a piece of shit, it's just openly not as good as brands like KJW and TM. I love my WE to death, and i know at least 10 people who are the same way with their WE 1911's(p. much all single stack too)

You just gotta find out for yourself. People say a lot of shit. So you would recommend a WE 1911A1?
I had the one you're thinking of. It's perfectly fine for a sidearm, and its p accurate out to 60ish feet. The metal is terrible though

It's overall worth IMO is better than the price charged so i say go for it. If you don't like certain things in the gun get an after market part. I haven't had to(assuming i had the money to anyways), so yeah.

Just curious, what's the appeal of the 1911? I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, it's just not military standard issue and from what I've seen the airsoft versions have some problems. Is it just that it's an iconic pistol?
Fits my small hands better.
