[QUOTE=Dark Descent;22996108]I don't think there's one any closer than that[/QUOTE] Found one. [url]http://www.orbitalpaintball.com[/url] Check their calendar. They do airsoft events. Also, a gear store: [url]http://www.blacktigerairsoft.com/Home_Page.php[/url] Very shady though.
Damn, you're quick. The field looks nice but I don't think I'd buy guns from them.
[QUOTE=Dark Descent;22996424]Damn, you're quick. The field looks nice but I don't think I'd buy guns from them.[/QUOTE] Well they're two separate businesses. The field rents out the field to Black Tiger airsoft, who hosts the games. It would give me a chance to use my MW2 NVG's I got. Wait. If I coupled my NVG's with a Tracer unit... Brb. Emergency order.... [editline]11:40PM[/editline] Found you another one Dark Descent: [url]http://www.kohnsports.com/kohnfield/directions.php[/url] [editline]11:44PM[/editline] Yeah, I'm making a trip to Orbital one day. The average turnout is 120-150 people, strictly for airsoft.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;22994265]AirsoftGI shipped my magazines and dump pouch, after changing the dump pouch's colour and the magazines suddenly coming in stock. Last night at around 5 it said UPS got my billing info. Today the package showed up at my house. I was amazed. Oh and on avatars, Advanced Wars is badass, but I couldn't find a way to make a PNG animated. Instead I just copied the colour of FP onto the background of my GIF, pseudo transparency :smug:[/QUOTE] it's possible to make transparent .gifs [url]http://www.absolutecross.com/tutorials/photoshop/basics/transparent-gifs/[/url]
What the fuck, tactical trunk money is selling stun guns
That's....strange. I was wrong to think the .177 caliber BB gun from them was weird, this is just totally irrelevant.
[QUOTE=Identity;22996491] It would give me a chance to use my MW2 NVG's I got. Wait. If I coupled my NVG's with a Tracer unit... Brb. Emergency order.... .[/QUOTE] They do work, I've tested it with my Eyclops NVG's. They actually show up green on the eye piece despite the camera picking up everything else in black and white at night. But I can't even walk around my backyard with that crappy NVG on, no less aim the gun and hit a target without a laser.

I know real ones can, I'm just wondering if this one is strong enough.
[QUOTE=Identity;22999661]I'm wondering in the IR in the NVG's could pick up an IR laser from a PEQ Box.

Its not even light amplifying like real NVGs. So I would figure that it would pick up a IR laser quite well. Someone tried to use one of those sets of goggles at a game one time, they lit up like Christmas morning on my real NVG monocular thanks to the massive amount of IR LEDs it uses :v:

It only uses 5 LED's on the Regular setting, then 12 on the amp setting, so I can imagine he would've stood out. :v: What NVG's do you have?

The only advantage to using the IR light on NVGs is when you are in total darkness where there is no sources of visible light (Stars, the moon, etc). Problem with the MW2 ones is that you need to have the IR on to see anything, since there is no light amplification. So you look like a road flare to anyone with actual NVGs, at all times. :v: I have a Yukon Phantom monocular. Edit: and a Night Owl Discovery for fucking around.

If that person is close enough, and bright enough, he could either blind you, or set up some sort of distraction. This is highly unlikely, but it could happen. And the Yukon Phantom's are nice for the price. Once I get my job going I can order one.
I'm going to be on the phone for awhile today. First I need to call Evike, ask why they think they'll get more TAR21's in a month, if they already credited the money from my account and depending on the answers I'm going to revoke the order. Then I need to call Palco Sports and ask them about their TAR 21, consider the possibility of ordering from them. I'm going to sound like an idiot but in addition to asking if they have it in stock I'm going to ask if they do price matching. (I mean jesus, they want an extra $50 for a $500 gun that sells for that much everywhere else) Call ASGI and ask about the TAR 21 as well, wait for my emails from Zshot and ARES. Beyond that the TAR 21 dream is fading away.
they are selling it for the extra 50 cause eventually someone is going to want it cause it's sold out everywhere else
If it was anywhere else, I'd say so, but I have my doubts because the owner of Palco Sports is a idiot with his head so far up his ass he can see himself chewing gum. [editline]09:29AM[/editline] Oh god, I think Palco Sports was using .12 BB's when they Chrono'd the Tavor. In the review the owner says it shoots 370 FPS out the box. All the reviews I read are more like 320-330. Additionally the shooting at the end says 330 FPS with .20 BB's. [editline]09:37AM[/editline] Then again he said it was as accurate as a sniper rifle just because it was a bullpup. That quote made my skin crawl.
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;23004064] was using .12 BB's as accurate as a sniper rifle just because it was a bullpup. [/QUOTE] If anyone ever posted that in a "you rage you lose" thread, that would definately make me lose, hard.

[editline]11:52AM[/editline] Never mind, Palco Sports only sells wholesale.
[QUOTE=Newbienice99;22998059]What the fuck, tactical trunk money is selling stun guns[/QUOTE] It also has a 5 bulb L.E.D. Flashlight
I'm now on Spartan Imports retailer site and I am one by one calling and asking for the ARES Tavor. This is a desperation tactic. [editline]12:29PM[/editline] Found a place on Mass that will order them from Palco, have it shipped to them and then ship it to me. This is possibly my only option. He says the price will be about $460.
Apparently if you remove your anti-reversal latch your gun will have ridiculous speed of the fucking light ROF.
It will also fuck your gun up.
Yes but think of the ROF you can have. I'm just kidding fyi.
Might as well do that with my M16. The gun's fucked as it is and is already shooting well over 1000 RPM.
So I went to my local airsoft store today. And...it fucking rocks. There wasn't a whole lot of stuff there, but they place orders for restock every Monday. The girl there, who knew her stuff when it came to airsoft, said that if I ever needed anything (i.e. mags, special ammuntion, a weapon, etc) she would special order it for me so I'd be guaranteed the product. Which means I'm getting either my Mid-caps or PMAG's from there. :v: Oh yeah, I bought my Firepower .20's from there. And they have a sling, mag pouches, and ACU's, vests, etc, for really good prices.
Did you sex her?
[QUOTE=Stupideye;23011816]Did you sex her?[/QUOTE] I sexed her when I told her I had a custom gun. She's was like "Oh, what kind?" and I was like "Oh it's a custom M4 from Airsoft G.I., yadda yadda." Dude, flirting with a chick who works at an airsoft store is like, instant win.
Okay, so it's done. Canceled my order with Evike, I had no trouble getting hold of them but I hate that it "Takes 5-6 business days" to refund my fucking money. Ordered the Tavor from Master Hobbies, guy special ordered it for me and is going to ship it to me from Palco. I ordered my "High-Speed Low-Drag Good-To-Go ChestRig" , a TM Discharger, flip-up rear sight for my M4, a magpul (So I have something to show the rifle off with), Butterfly 9.6 Mini battery for my Tavor and a Propane Adapter from Kastway. Hopefully everything works out this time. [editline]03:53PM[/editline] Additionally I saved some money and got my Tavor for only $460. Suck it Evike. All wonderful customer service from that place. I wish they had a better website. They were excellent.

Is she like well hot?
[QUOTE=Inafinus :3;23013299]Is she like well hot?[/QUOTE] She's like part Asian, cute, can play airsoft and paintball, and is knowledgeable. So yes. :D [editline]04:46PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Fenriswolf;23013013]Would be sooooooooooo easy to get an airsoft chick.[/QUOTE] And Airsoft chicks are cool. Admit it, they are.
