Or [URL="http://www.lasermax.com/category.php?id=1"]this[/URL]. I have this for one of my real glocks and there is a flashing setting that makes the battery last a lot longer. I'm almost 100% positive that this'll fit on the sight of an airsoft glock.
It wouldn't. That's where the recoil spring would go on an airsoft pistol.
No way in hell i'm spending 350 on a laser sight.

Hey, got 2 questions for everyone: What's your general region? I just want to see if there's any actual airsoft-ing around me. And: would y'all mind if I post my pending loadout? [B]Edit:[/B] Also, VFC and AGM?

AGM is good, I own a AGM m4-a1 I have to downgrade the spring but that's all.

Get an extra mag too. and smart charger. you can also get good black bb's for cheaper and in larger ammounts. Blow bakc guns are also bad, they are low in power, (a lot of it goes to the blowback) and they generaly don't last as long, your internals also get dirty faster.
[QUOTE=BlueSaint;20823263]Blow bakc guns are also bad, they are low in power, (a lot of it goes to the blowback) and they generaly don't last as long, your internals also get dirty faster.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't say that they're bad (realism vs. practicality) but I would have to agree. Only thing is that the blow backs I've looked at are easy field strip and green gas (ergo, easy to clean compsenate, more or less, for the loss of energy of the off-gasing).
[QUOTE=Xaphania;20822892][IMG]http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/ee679acb09.png[/IMG] How does that look for someone interested in airsoft?[/QUOTE] Wrong battery. That's a G&P battery wired to dean connectors, meaning it won't plug into you're gun. [QUOTE=Mooee;20824095]Wouldn't say that they're bad (realism vs. practicality) but I would have to agree. Only thing is that the blow backs I've looked at are easy field strip and green gas (ergo, easy to clean compsenate, more or less, for the loss of energy of the off-gasing).[/QUOTE] He's looking at an electric blowback, not gas. Anyways from my experience with AEG blowback systems, G&G's pneumatic blowback system offers not recoil at all. It just makes a thin piece of plastic move half an inch and making a clapping sound. CA's ABS system is pulling a heavier metal piece which provides some shake to the gun. The downside is you can't go overboard on full auto with a 11.1v lipo battery, which is to be expected. This will cause the recoil spring to snap, though it is easily bent, extended and reconnected. I've done this twice with mine. FPS is not an issue on these guns. Mine was shooting 390fps out of the box with no problems. I'm disappointed with the charging handle though, it's made of pot metal and the tab that pulls the bolt back snapped on mine.
Okay, made two possible loadouts, only posting one right now.

Just get 3 of these P90 mag pouches. They work pretty well back when I had a P90.

firstly, I suggest getting a good pair of gloves, as in not knockoffs, I know ASGI carries mechanix which are good. Blackhawk, Hatch, Oakley, and Ironclad make good gloves too. and secondly, dump pouches aren't gun specific, as in they're universal for all guns [editline]01:09AM[/editline] safariland make kickass holsters, I had one of their 6004s, cost a bit more though
Yeah, a lot more, but I still wouldn't mind trying out a Safariland someday. Just need to land this CNC Operator job first.
it really depends on what pistol you're getting it for, Black, Beretta M9, RH, no light go for dirt cheap on ebay but something like left handed, desert color, sig with light is going to be somewhere near retail which is ridiculous

But the P90 dumps kind of are specific, considering you need a pouch long enough to beable to hold the mags. Thanks for the feedback guys! I guess I'll post my second/alternate loadout tomorrow. [b]Edit:[/b] Updated gloves to Mechanix Wear M-Pact. Don't think I'll be changing the holster as I'm looking for a thigh holster.
this is what I was talking about: [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/Safariland-6004-dropleg-holster_W0QQitemZ260569137393QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Security_Fire_Protection?hash=item3cab2180f1[/url] granted, the price will go up about $20+ before the auction is over but thats still a bargain, especially for a 6004 sarfariland and this is the airsoft standard dump pouch: [img]http://ipashop.com/images/dump%20pouch%20acu.jpg[/img] if it can fit 10 m4 mags then it can fit p90 mags
Don't get Flackjaks. They fog unless its terribly windy. If you really need them, get them [url=http://www.goggleoverstock.com/index.html]here[/url]
I've never really had a problem with mine. I get fog, sure, but not as bad as it was with my previous pair and it's usually only if I'm standing still for a long amount of time. Taking a few steps seems to get rid of the fog without fail.
@Marine: Thanks for the link. I was asking for P90 one because a lot of the actual pouch ones aren't long enough, and I'm not too fond of the drawstring sacks. The one in the picture you posted looks good though. [b]Edit:[/b] Okay, here's my alt/2nd loadout. Just wanted to mention that both of the loadouts I posted are very... optimistic.

what kind of field do you want to play at? Honestly, the best advice I can give is to make a loadout [i]after[/i] you've airsofted at the field you plan on going to the most. For instance, I bought an SR25 and a CIRAS and went airsofting at my field for the first time, I used the sr25 as a carbine because there was no room to snipe and I wanted to be the one storming the trenches, the CIRAS just seemed too big for my liking. I opted for a SCAR and a 1961a(A load bearing vest) and now its probably my favorite kit ever
Where you planning on holding the grenade shells? The crossdraw vest has no where to put them. Plus everyone has a crossdraw vest or similar vest on the field. If you're willing to put down that much money I'd invest in something better suited for your weapons loadout. A MOLLE chest rig or plate carrier would be the way to go, depending on the field as Marine 1st said. With MOLLE you can tailor the pouches to exactly what you need. If you're going to be playing mainly outside at longer ranges, a chest rig will probably be the way to go. If it's more CQB or up close combat, or an urban environment, or you need to carry a ton of stuff, then I'd recommend a plate carrier.
I'm wanting to get into airsoft and I want to try and get a sniper (mostly because they are cheaper), so I poked around and researched like crazy and this is what I got: [URL]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=3731[/URL] [URL]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=3070[/URL] [URL]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=36_117&products_id=5287[/URL] [URL]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_44_191&products_id=2753[/URL] (The BBs) [B]OR[/B] [URL]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=2128[/URL] [URL]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_44_194&products_id=3593[/URL] (BBs) Sounds like a good idea?

Yeah I looked at the D-Boy RK, I thought about it because I have a shemagh and I wanted to go for an Afghan/terror load out so I might go for the D-Boy. I did kind of want to have a USMC desert load out though so an M4 would work for that. AHHHH too many choices!
