Pictures of Your Latest Airsoft Aquisition

This just showed up a few days ago. It's the start to my next Hi-Capa.

Nice! That thing looks killer. How much did it cost?

I actually got it used. It's $130 from DEN but I got it for $60 + a Hi-Capa mag.

Great deal, I love buying stuff used, especialy high end guns that you would upgrade anyway.

Not exactly gas but here is my Maruzen APS type 96:

Bought it used as a base an upgraded from there.

Slick. I rarely buy anything new (except for hard to find parts).

Hunting for bargains is one of the funnest parts of airsoft.

haha ya definatly. Craigslist.com is always good.

Here's my latest... sorry it isn't gas, but dang I'm soooo proud of it:



it's an old pic, but it will do....







my custom wiring:

Holly crap thats a big gun! I think the real one runs on gas though...

Do the wires you intalled always stick out? if so i would put some piping aorund them to hide them, kind of ugly with wires poking out all over. otherwise it looks awsome!

It has been a good week for Airsoft (for me and my friends)





Prototype DB Customs 6.01mm Tight bore for the Tanaka Hi Power

ah! Payne! I Finally see the long discussed M249! That this is pretty awesome!
I love the fake bullet setup! Do all M249's have that?

Thanks man, yeah it sure is a beast of a gun!

Yes, the wires do stick out, but there's a way of attaching them to the back of the bullet belt to hide them.

No, if you get an M249 (the Classic Army) then you will have to buy some bullets to go on the side. The bullets on mine are dummy bullets and were very very easy to install. I believe the A&K M249 and Echo1 M249 (just the rebranded A&K) doesn't have a bullet belt and must be bought seperately just like the CA. I got my bullet belt off ebay for like $25 shipped or something like that. It came in a 100rd belt. You will only need 12 bullets for the belt on the gun and that's it, so you have like 88 bullets left to play with!

three of my gas guns:

top- CA M15A4 w/ a 470 Co2 gearbox (gun doesnt look like that anymore, so ill have to post up an update on that gun)

middle- VFC M82A1 with a Springfield Armory scope and A.R.M.S. throw mounts and a RS Barrett webbing kit

bottom- KJW M700 takedown

I love you pearldrummer. Do you know how lucky you are to own a Barret! I have been looking to buy one forever. Would you ever sell that beast?

the thing is actually for sale...

Nice to see a few rifles here.

I'm amazed to see a Barret for sale though.

Amazingly enough this is my latest Airsoft acquisition. Gives me all sorts of new information:

Do tell what you plan on using that for? I'm guessing that your gun has consumed too many bb's and has gained some weight over that last few months and now it's time to cut-back on the calori-BB's?

Well yes, it does consume a bit much. But it only gains weight from judicious use of aluminum and stainless steel.

I am begginning to weigh my guns and upgrades, and review pieces, etc. Just another way of gaging what is going on.

Such as this example:

Is that the difference between metal & plastic?

The only time I see scales like that used is... nevermind, lol. My old roommate used to sell some stuff that sometimes required a scale, and soon he'll be a high school history teacher. What is this world coming to?

At least some people use digital scales for legitimate reasons. I'm curious as to some of the relevence of weighing parts that I have likely overlooked. Is there a way to get the wieght balance of a gun with only one scale? I know if you set it across two scales of equil height set side by side you can easily figure it out, but I can't seem to remember if it works the same with a stationary object next to a scale.

No TM 1911 with PGC MBK (and the stock weighted grips). Just a way of showing what might be affecting performance.

XCortech X3200 Chrono
King Arms Red Dot



PDI 6.01mm 7"
PDI Novak NeXT Trigger



Red Dot on it's new home:

I am not sure If I am that fond of the red dot on that gun... But to each his own!

I don't know either, but it has that rail, and I don't like Aimpoints. What can I say, sometimes I just don't know if I like something until I have it...

I like the idea, maybe just something a little smaller.
