Spray paint. No, really. It's a lot cheaper. Or just buy a spare E1 M4 handguard and spray paint that, then you can have a black set and a tan set. Or mix them up for a 2 tone look.

That's a picture Doofus.
Your best bet is to buy [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=3256]one of these E1 handguards[/url] and spray paint it matte tan.
[url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=4718]Or you could go with this a MagPul MOE handguard[/url]

Thanks. JG mags work with Echo 1, right?
PMC's wear mostly whatever they want, as most noobs will say. But if you want to pull off a good PMC loadout, it will depend on what type of role you're playing. If you're running VIP security, you'll probably have just some soft armor, small chest rig and a jacket to cover everything up. A polo shirt helps too, just to look a little more formal, no VIP wants some rag tag guys guarding him. If you're acting as more of a military type operation contractor, then you might go with a Plate carrier of sorts and a helmet, along with a tricked out assault rifle.
I've used Khaki with tan and it works fine.

But you could go with OD and tan gear too.

Or Black and Tan with Coyote and Tan Gear.

What I'm pretty much saying is there's no real right or wrong answer here.
Is that a white vest? What?
[QUOTE=Mbbird;21028342]Is that a white vest? What?[/QUOTE]
Suppose to be Khaki, but it's a little too bright. What do you expect from cheap made in China gear from Ebaybanned. Although I will admit it blends in well with 3 color desert.

Seriously how the fuck do you (the company not you) mix up white and tan? Did they even bother to dye it?

yes and a beautiful picture it is,too
Thanks for the PMC info, my gear right now looks a bit like the first, except with a black jacket underneath. Once my backorder pullover comes in, I'll look pretty snazzy.
God, I change my mind a lot.. But honestly this time I didn't switch to a completely different type of gun, I just changed my mind back to the first gun I thought of getting, which is an m4..

What are the differences between an L85A1 and an L85A2?
Alright guys, I am going to buy [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_202&products_id=5632[/url] as my first gun I believe. Any final objections or better ideas? I will probably order it in a few days or so.

Oops, forgot about it not auto-merging after a few hours

Wait, so your going to buy the smaller, uglier, more expensive one over the less ugly, full size one? Up to you I guess.
[QUOTE=Kawaii;21035483]Wait, so your going to buy the smaller, uglier, more expensive one over the less ugly, full size one? Up to you I guess.[/QUOTE]
hmm? the other one wasn't full sized either? :saddowns:
Which one should I get then
[editline]10:36AM[/editline]
I kind of chose that one because of where the battery goes in. the other one went in the fore-grip thing
[editline]10:39AM[/editline]
Seriously what I am just trying to do is find a gun that reliably does what I want straight out of the box. 350 and below FPS. If there is a full size M4, that comes with a rail system, and fires at 350 and below out of the box, then link me to it, because all of the reviews of ones that I have read that are advertised as 350 FPS have been reported to shoot at above 350 in the reviews.

If you're talking about the real steel one then there are mechanical differences such as improved reliability. Also, in both airsoft and real steel, the charging handle is a little more accessible by putting the handle upwards so you can get a grip on it faster.
Is that stuff that comes in a little green bottle with KWA pistols silicon? Would it be safe to use that on my AEG? I'm out of silicon spray but have that little thing.

You don't normally use silicon lube on your AEG. What your normally use is that white (forgot the name) grease for the gears, piston teeth, etc.

Yeah, but for cleaning the barrel?
All you should need to do is slide a small rag or tissue through it. That's all I do and it works fine, and really I hardly ever clean my barrel unless I know for a fact it went muzzle down in the mud.
Oh okay. That's what I've been doing since forever, and I just thought of using silicon to clean it. I know a few people that do that.
And I do it after every game, there's a bit of black residue on the tissue every time.
When you use the cloth in the barrel some people put some silicon oil on it so keep the inside lubricated but it doesn't really matter too much.
Holy shit [URL="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150426717410&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]this[/URL] looks like a major steal. Should I bid?

Continue at own risk. Ebay is bad.
[QUOTE=facepuke;21040775]Continue at own risk. Ebay is bad.[/QUOTE]
It looks like an absolute steal though. The gun itself is more than what the bid is.

If it's real go with it.
Don't blame us if it's broken and or not the right thing.

Exactly why you should be suspicious.
I think I'm gonna go for it. His customer reviews look good.
Okay, I need some people to agree with me that Systema barrels are [I]HORRIBLE[/I]. He's Doofus on the forums, by the way.
Would you guys suggest the Mk16 or the Mk17 SCAR?
