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

Hope you get it sorted.

Gatling · 23-11-2007 4:10am

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

Masada · 23-11-2007 5:08am

just got back to me now, im getting one of these from them, I think it'll suit my g36 nicely, i didnt want to go for a scope and this kinda reminds me of halo.,lol

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.,

Gatling · 23-11-2007 5:26am

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

kdouglas · 23-11-2007 11:04am

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!

)

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

Stercus Accidit · 23-11-2007 2:49pm

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

Is it easy to cut?

kdouglas · 23-11-2007 3:52pm

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?

Masada · 23-11-2007 3:59pm

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.,

Stercus Accidit · 23-11-2007 9:05pm

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

Gatling · 24-11-2007 1:27am

GooooooooooooooooooooodMorning Skirmishnam,
its a cold nite for a skirmish ,BERGET here we come

Fallschirmjager · 24-11-2007 1:33am

Gatling · 24-11-2007 1:35am

Good evening Fall, hows the plans for the airsoft tour of ireland coming

Fallschirmjager · 24-11-2007 1:38am

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...

Fallschirmjager · 24-11-2007 1:39am

jeasus gatling you must never sleep

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

Gatling · 24-11-2007 1:42am

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

Fallschirmjager · 24-11-2007 1:45am

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

sorry gentlemen didnt realise ye were in discussions about the scopes, i thought that was from last night....

i still need to do that for some of mine, been very lucky so far

Gatling · 24-11-2007 1:51am

Gatling · 24-11-2007 2:32am

plenty of movement should keep us all warm ,28 rentals so we could be looking at 50+ skirmishers ,fun fun fun, i fecking knew i should have bought gloves today ,

Masada · 24-11-2007 2:35am

i can charge a battery in 10 min's for you;)

hoplite · 24-11-2007 2:36am

Dont think I've ever seen that many rentals at HRTA just shows you what T4BB and recent radio publicity can do.

Just as long as most of em take their hits. I'll be hammering that point home with the two lads I'm bringing. Looking forward to it now I have to say.

hoplite · 24-11-2007 2:46am

if your passing B&Q in swords you could pick up a pair in there, i might have a spare pair somewhere aswell, will have a looksee in a few mins.,

And lets hope we dont spend most of the time standing around moaning about the cold like last week.,lol

Gatling · 24-11-2007 2:53am

b&q have a lovely pair for 15 i might next week,cant afford to get them this week had a few bills to pay,that would be cool if you have a spare pair Vtec:D:D
that was weird standing around in the rain tomorow should be different with more numbers

thehomeofDob · 24-11-2007 3:07am

Ah I wish I could go, but there's too much going on. Still lookin for a day I can finally head to HRTA.

No probs,
I always buy the B&Q 4.50 ones for work, they have rubber grips on them but are still easy to move in.,

Gatling · 24-11-2007 3:33am

going to need lots of ammo with so many newbies to target,should be able to have a couple of long games with the numbers

Masada · 24-11-2007 3:42am

at least it will take the look off me and i wont feel like such a n00b then.,

Masada · 24-11-2007 3:47am

Is this just the sexiest M4 ever or what, Love the tan parts and that front grip looks cool,

Closely followed by this,

Gatling · 24-11-2007 3:56am

im getting abit of sleep for tomorrow its poxy raining now :mad::mad::mad:

NakedDex · 24-11-2007 10:07pm

That second one is desperately close to the M4 I wanted to build up. That's the exact stock I had picked out and everything. I like that a lot. Where'd you find those?

I think there from arnies, id like the second one with a tan coloured stock and the front rail, that would look class.,

NakedDex · 25-11-2007 12:31am

That stock doesn't come in tan from what I've found of it. It's black only. Nice unit though, the cheekpiece and buttplate extend/retract by turning a dial. It'd be more at home on an SPR though.

Gatling · 25-11-2007 12:39am

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODMorning SKIRMISNAM,

finaly back to barracks after a hards in trenches dealing with bookoo bad guys,

The gun in the 2nd photo isnt an M4 if you look at the markings on the reciever you will see barrett stamped on it ,which means your looking Barrett 6-8 ,not just happy with having the most feared 50CAL they now produce a assault rifle for the US army ,it looks like an m4 but has better rifleing on the barrel and it chambers the new 6.8 round giving better range accuracy and a lot more stopping power,actuly adding one of them reciever's to my must have list be, a unique airsoft reciever to replace the standard Dboys one

Masada · 25-11-2007 12:41am

yeah i was planning on painting it., its a nice stock though huh, the scope isnt really to my taste though.,

Alvin T. Grey · 25-11-2007 12:41am

Looks great, but would you feel comfortable crawling through a ditch with it?

MEDIC 10CC OF KRYLON AND A RAG STAT!!!!!!!!!!

Masada · 25-11-2007 12:48am

Jeeeezz gatling, talk about going into detail,lol, id never have noticed that.,
