    That is what happens when you fire an airsoft AK47 into the air and you are indoors. :D

    damn boo koo bad guys ,radio skirmishnam back on air ,slightly soggy,
    thats good news vtec what are you going to get ,if your after one of those EOTEC scopes get the 551 short version. the full sized one the 552 has a problem with its optics you see a black shadow when you look into it

    you will need to fix a piece of perspex in front of the sight ,sights dont like bbs too much they tend to break when hit , the perpsex will save you buying a new scope every couple of weeks

    oh yeah, i never thought about that, will come up with something, so is the lens in these glass then? i woud have imagine it would be just cheapo plastic.,


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    im not sure if its glass or plastic ,but for some reason the open sights tend to be fragile mightnt break on first hit ,2nd and 3rd might ,kdouglas just fixed a piece of perspex on the front of his,cant remember if its screwed of glued ,to protect the lense on his P90 scope


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    yup, i have that same sight, it's pretty good, you'll like it, i cut a piece of perspex to the shape of the lens and stuck it to the front with some duct tape (no fancy screws or glue thank you very much! :p)

    the lens is glass and feels pretty solid, i reckon i could take a bb hit, but not willing to test that theory :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    Where did you get the perspex and what thickness is it?

    Is it easy to cut?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    got some in b&q, they keep it over beside the greenhouse, not sure if they still stock it though, i picked up a sheet of it ages ago and just had some bits lying about, i think it's 3mm from what i remember, it's fairly easy to cut, a small piece like that could easily be done with a small handsaw and a file, or even a dremel.

    On a side note: does anyone know a better place to get perspex?

    yep, in GK building supplys on spring garden street, or woodies have it aswell, I like the idea of using it to cover the sight, im gonna do that with it, cat beat the owl duct tape huh., :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    Buy a sheet, cut to size, sell, new business!

    Sell 5 at a time as a disposable airsoft product, if its hit and crack, replace it.

    Id say bostic would be the best glue, its an elastic glue so it can be peeled off and leave no mark but is strong enough. I stuck sites on older guns and it can peel right off.

    wgc sell something like that for standard 20, 25, 30mm scopes but its pricey for what it is. Plus i've an awkward 22mm scope:D

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    well we got some good responses as it happens still need to hear officially from drogheda...so the biggies will be about where people can stay, the games etc. but i rekon we will be laughing by the middle/end of spring. i would love if we could start earlish, get a good long game in and wind up with a few small ones at the end...

    interesting business plan, but i've had mine for about 6 months and it's still in one piece, it's even taken a few hits directly too :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    yeah it would be pretty cool having some big games for a change ,it will be intresting seeing how the different C/Os run there teams ,
    i never sleep before a skirmish ., barely sleep at all


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,341 ✭✭✭Fallschirmjager


    yep but as you say whoever is the poor git trying to organise a team of 40+...fairly hellish i would think
