[QUOTE=notrabies;45652353]Most universal holsters are shitty, but I actually really like the tornado, its a competent design and it holds my Glock 34 and Hicapa's really nicely.[/QUOTE] I almost hesitated recommending it because I don't know of another brand besides Condurr that makes them, I'm fine with using Condor Gear, but I know a lot of others are not.

Condor makes some good stuff. I hear their clothing isn't half bad. I had a hat from them that was actually pretty good quality. They'll occasionally put out something worth buying, it's just that most of their stuff isn't a whole lot cheaper than brands like Eagle and Allied so there's no point in getting it.

Having Trouble finding a battery that's smaller than 80mm x 60mm x 30mm... I swear I remember searching by size somewhere, was it Hobby King? [editline]fucksticks[/editline] Yes. Yes it is Hobby King.

Hobby King is my go-to place to get lipos. On the subject of universal holsters, I've resorted to using a standard generic mag pouch for my less-than-standard-sized WE P226. Simply run it on my belt. Extremely secure and easy to use. [t]http://u.cubeupload.com/Apache249/20140810233046572iOS.jpg[/t]

What brand are those?

*cough*Condor*cough* but yeah any mag pouch of that type should do the trick.

[QUOTE=Apache249;45652964]Hobby King is my go-to place to get lipos.[/QUOTE] What's a good brand, and what capacity should I be looking for? I've found the search function, but all of this bullshit is just random numbers to me. I know that the whole "1mAh is one shot" thing is bullshit for lipos, and most of the time it's bullshit for regular NiMH batteries too. so What Should I do?

That's basically it. Lipos are such great value that you can just get more if you need more trigger time.

What's the average shelf life of lipos anyways? Would they still be good after a few months/year without being used?

Also, be wary of 11.1V (3S) lipos. It can (I'm assuming you haven't done extensive gearbox work) cause issues such as overspin, and it will fry your trigger contacts over time.

I'm just looking for a nice, small, 7.4 I can use in that TM MP7 I got a few weeks ago. I'm planning on buying that PEQ15 Battery Box with the red laser that I linked last page. I Don't want a Battery box that does literally nothing else, so I sprung for a laser, because usually replica PEQ15 Lights are garbage Now I'm just on Hobby King looking for the best battery that fits inside that tiny little space. 80mm x 60mm x 30mm. What's the point of the C Rating? Like what does that affect in the airsoft gun? Do I NEED a higher rating or what? If I buy [url=http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=17826]This battery[/url], can I rewire it to deans or Tamiya? I know you're all hard for deans, but I don't really have easy access to a soldering kit, so the less soldering I have to do the better, and all of my guns and batts are currently Tamiya.

The thing with batteries is that you can actually wire them to any connector you want, so yes, you'd be go to go. Also, there's a fairly sizeable XT-60 contingent among us, so you might consider converting to all XT-60.

It's got slots in the front that say "LiPo Balance" "2S" and "3S" so it IS a balance charger.

I'm not familiar with that particular type, but yes it should work just fine.

I searched "Deans Connectors" on hobby king and it spat out "Mini-T Connectors" Same thing?

These are replicas, compatible with the real deal: [URL]http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11961[/URL] They work just fine. I use them myself. If you're feeling spendy, you can get the real deal :[URL]http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Plug-Male-Female-Set/dp/B000BOTWW2/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1407716053&sr=1-1[/URL]

My new grenade launcher does not go past the bayonet lug on my CM047 at all. Why is it doing this?

The bayonet lug on my AK was a little wide, so I had to file the sides to fit my bayonet. Maybe you should try that

Edit: Basically what above says

I have a fetish for integrated kneepads and multicam any suggestions that isn't Crye's 8 quintillion dollar mil-spec operator extraordinaire pants? (I am aware of the Chinese knockoffs and all the sellers I could find look shady as fuck)

(I am aware of the Chinese knockoffs and all the sellers I could find look shady as fuck)[/QUOTE] buy some issue multicam FRACUs, army combat shirt in multi, or army combat pants in multi they're all on ebay for p. cheap now all ACUs have integrated pad pockets on the elbows and knees but they aren't supercrye. they work tho.

Combat pants with integrated kneepads in Ranger Green on the other hand are impossible to find at a reasonable price. Even the Emerson G3 clones come in every color/pattern except for RG.

Everyone likes to shit all over the Emerson combat pants for some reason, but I've had a pair (in black cuz im 2kool4skool) for the past few years now and they're solid. I wouldn't think twice about buying another pair.

I know 4 people with Emerson aor2 sets and they've held up great for the bit over a year they've had them except 2 of them said the kneepad adjustment straps have broken. Not as crappy as people usually make them seem but I'd still rather save the money and get better repros(Aor,WL) or even the real thing(MC, Tan, Black, RG.)

Reading about upgrading my sniper I stumbled across something called r-hop. Is it really that usefull and where can I get it?

[QUOTE=Herfjotur;45670495]Do you know of any repro M81 pants that you can buy as just pants and not the set?[/QUOTE] As far as I know, only TMC makes pants that sell seperately from the shirt.

I've only been able to find TMC gen 2s in RG and just looking at the pictures they're pretty bad.

My m4 selector can go on safe and semi but now it can't go on auto because its jammed. What's wrong
