    I was just thinking since I got my new airsofts today how do some of you personalise yours. I mean do you paint certain things on assault rifle or buy special grips for your pistol of go as far as to give it a custom paintjob or whatever it is you do to make your airsoft feel unique.

    Its all about what you like the look of. you'll notice you'll start to recognise guns you see on TV or movies, from these you'll get an idea of what you like and you can copy them.

    Its also a good idea to go back to the begining of the photo's thread here on boards and see what other people have done. you'll find things you like in there. :)

    I personally like to hang the entrails of slain zombies off of the handgrip..
    Ooh wait wrong thread...

    If you're gonna personalise your guns, try spraying parts camo colours and adding stuff you like.

    Im not actually asking about personalising my own airsoft just out of interest what do you guys do to yours.

    I start off by buying a rifle...
    Decide to make it uber gucci and unique'r than anything,
    Spend a small fortune on everything in the Magpul catalogue,
    Then look at my rifle, which turns out to be a mirror image of the rest of the rifles i own., :D
    stay away from magpul, its like heroin.,

    decide you want to be unique

    go buy an m4 and find out your one of many and get depressed

    decide that all is not lost and you can customize your m4 with magpul parts to still be unique

    cry into your pts parts as your still one of the crowd

    get counseling give up and you go by and Kalashnikov :)

    Go buy yourself a nice big ugly Manly Gun like a FAL
    personalize it, by putting yourself behind the trigger.

    Nice and simple Job Done! :D

    Scratch build. It's the only way. It's also the most expensive and troublesome way.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 2,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭horgan_p


    I like to do the do internals .
    Modify gearset , tightbore barrel , hop rubber and motor

    Looks like a bog standard m4 , but oh sweet lord when you pull that trigger !!

    Honestly?
    No. I'd be afraid to go to Richies house.
    Richie, any photos of the tanned P90?

    If there is such a thing as gun porn, what you are asking for is one of those bizarre fetishes that should never see the light of day.

    Or be asked for in public...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    If there was gunporn, richie would be Hugh Heffner.... (and the hawks his bunnies)



    Yeah, a tan p90 is quite wrong in the way that say... pooping on people is wrong. (Yes it is before someone objects and gets ridiculed)

    Personally, I like my guns unoriginal... Standard issue style... its kinda rare in airsoft lol... Plus, Not many own my guns thankfully... Though there will be atleast 4 other tavor's at the event this weekend *glares*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,614 ✭✭✭Toasty113

    Thats just something I dont want to see. Ever. <shudders>

    Then bring the Sa80, a proper gun:D

    I'd be the same, standard issue, simple and effective (although i did recently buy a p90 box mag:eek: )

    Not as bad as I feared. But still...

    Anyway, I find that once you have a gun awhile, it doesnt matter about personalisation, its just yours, and other guns never feel quite the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    The world of 'tan' just got alot sexier.

    If you want to make your gun looks original, don't bother with fancy parts or paint jobs, just get out to the field and put abit of wear and tear on it.

    I'm trying to justify it to myself because i only use it in the warehouse, my high caps always jam, and i cant afford mids

    Once the new 416 arrives, it'll be but put to pasture though

    lol., will post the P90 pic later mark., dont have access to them at the moment. however i must say, although it looks like it'll make baby jesus cry, it wasn't much of a looker before hand.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 281 ✭✭delta-boy


    TBQFH, be a real man - and buy yourself a nice AK variant, preferably a AKS-74U, buy real wood inserts, sand the wood down, slap on some lindsey oil, buy a nice replica Kobra AK site, and just laugh yourself silly. Forget the arma-****e :D. Then, people will recognice you. And respect your gun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Bah, AKs are to guns what Pikeys are to people.

    Anyway, there's nothing unique about the AK or it's variants.

    Aren't there more AKs in the world than any other gun.

    Ak's are the pikeys of the gun world.

    Get a Hk416, the only way to go

    Erm actually... shows how much you know about AKs... there is huge variation in AK models and makes and manufacturers.... massive... MUCH more difference than armalites, and we dont have to stick bloody lego on our guns to make them original.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie


    On my next gun I'm going to paint it a pastille pink have it laquared with glitter and add on some of those nice stick on fake diamonds, maybe some leopard skin and and some fluffy stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    Persionalised? PERSIONALISED? THIS IS KITTEH!!!

    That's the airsofts corner.... Plus im a student with next to no space! Gimmie a break! lol.

    Anyway, It was actually a dare to paint the gun pink... one I won, And While it may be typical 'girly girl' I dont even own it anymore :P I too personally prefer 'sneakier', ie, usually, leaving it black!

    My Tavor however is unique... its probably one of the only ones in the UK with an acog and the correct mount :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Buy and Aug, or a FA-MAS. You'll be unique, trust me.

    Who's we?

    Yep, huge variation in ak models, and makes, and manufacturers, and they all still look horrible.

    I personally make my own stuff for my gun. I would put a pic up of my custom cheekrest on my l96 but I don't have it located anywhere online to link from. I also have made a PVC silencer that fits over the end of the barrel, wrapped the internal barrel to make it quieter, fixed some foam to the piston head, etc. to make it pretty quiet to shoot. I would only buy parts if I can't make them.

    Will be engraving my mags soon with my cnc machine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    We, sovietsofters...

    Its just the goggles of capitalism that make you supporters of western evils think your sticklebrick m4s are better than the workhorse of the red army! Pah!

    Ah, but if you we're going to war, would you rather a rake of pikey's or people who accesorise....

    What you lookin' at boss?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,893 ✭✭✭Dread-Lock


    I read this somewhere and I think it just about sums things up...



    The M4 is a cheap prostitute.
    She needs to be dressed with flashy accessories to be attractive.
    The Kalashnikov is beautiful in herself.
    She does not need stilettos and lipstick.
    You may want to have a one night stand with a Stoner rifle, but you will marry the Kalashnikov.
