Was talking to a friend in class today, apparently he was messing around with his friends of the weekend and ended up finding an old (plastic) sled. He used it as a Riot Shield. Aside from food-for-thought, has anyone actually tried using a Riot Shield?

Aside from food-for-thought, has anyone actually tried using a Riot Shield?[/QUOTE] Tried it, hated it. The fact that you need to use a gun you can comfortably hold with one hand, and reload with one hand really slims down you armament. Now once you get this worked out, you cannot easily aim or see, you profile is extremely large, and a big black box is not the best camouflaged thing ever. tl;tr they suck ass.
PLUS: RIOT SHIELDS ARE [B][I][U]NOT[/U][/I][/B] BULLET PROOF! EVER! NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE! Riot shields are used to block things such as stones,stocks,people's fists as they riot. Ballistic shields are: A ballistic shield has a VERY VERY SMALL SUPER THICK thing to see through, they are heavy and thick, they are bullet resistant as no armor is fully bullet proof. Next on my list of replys: I don't need a speed loader because I simply load up say 10 mags before a game, go to the game and durring lunch break, between rounds, etc... swap mags because we have no fields here it is limited to private land, which we use, I simply walk to the car and swap mags from my vest and bag however, manualy pushing bb's isn't that bad because my fingers are quite callused from everything elss I do excluding video games.
I am looking to buy a universal charger for my AUG and picking up a sidearm and wondering if these are good, I picked this gun because CO2 is cheaper than green gas although some of the reviews say it has broken their guns.

I hear lots of bad things from that charger, like half charging, and refusing to work. I use this: [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=471[/url] and love it. EDIT: and although GI says it will charge 7.2-8.4 volt, It says on the box it charges 9.6, and it charges mine fine.
Do they sell propane as commonly as CO2? I dont recall seeing it in any stores near me.

We'll see though...
[QUOTE=rainman12;20902826]Do they sell propane as commonly as CO2?

Green gas already has this lube in it, while with Propane you'll have to add lube to the adapter before you fill the mag.

What is the best airsoft gun that is 200 dollars or less and has an FPS equal to or less than 350? I'd prefer M4 Pistol-like guns, KAC PDWs, or bullpups (cept P90). AEG please.
I'm buying a KJW 1911, how much will it set me back to get a threaded barrel + supressor?
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;20931205]I'm buying a KJW 1911, how much will it set me back to get a threaded barrel + supressor?[/QUOTE] only one i found was at wgc and its chrome and in the end will cost $50+ not including a suppressor.
If you want a 1911 with a threaded barrel, just look at WE's pistols. They got a few with threaded barrels already included.

Okay my gun just doublefed. What the fuck. It did this twice yesterday. Put the mag in, pulled the trigger on semi once and two came out and went about 60 feet. What happened?
maybe a bb is getting stuck in the hopup sometimes when you pull a mag out
Actually, it's magic.
I disasembled the hop-up and it's fine now. And what's up with my consistency? I have a systema bucking and SCS H-nub and it's still annoyingly inconsistent in it's spin. Bout 9/10 on a foot and a half target from 80 feet. Not exactly great for outdoor + wind.
Have you cleaned your barrel lately?
I haven't cleaned it since I last played for a day, but I cleaned it before that. I'll do that now.
maybe its your hopup, i hear hit or miss when it comes to their inner barrel parts
[QUOTE=Marine1st;20946930]maybe its your hopup, i hear hit or miss when it comes to their inner barrel parts[/QUOTE] The hop-up piece itself? Should I get a new one? Like the Systema hop-up.
i wasnt thinking when I said that, I meant the systema bucking
Anyone know where I could find a full auto, gas blowback glock 18? I know KWA had one, but it got discontinued. I got lucky getting a 19 from them.
I think the only place you can find one in the US nowadays is through Craigslist or private sellers, pretty much all stores are all sold out on them.
