>Ever use night vision in a game before? Did it improve your night game?
My squadmate during my first night game was our squad's lookout because he was the only one who had night vision. He had a single AN/PVS-14. I asked if I could look through it before we started playing and he let me. Absolutely blew my mind, it was the first time I've ever looked through nightvision. Rest of the game I was on my own eyesight of course. Still had fun, met up with my team's captain and we laid down in a ditch waiting for the enemy to pass us. Once they did we got up and took out two guys on the hill next to us. Watched my tracer BB hit the guy I shot right in the face

/K/ASP/IAN BREAKOUT POST

HELLO COUSINS! WE'RE IS GOING TO MSW AGAIN THIS YEAR. /asp/ AND /k/ ARE TEAMING UP TO BRING THE GLORY OF MURDERCUBE TO NATO, WHILE WE DEFEND ASTRAKHAN FROM TRYHARD INSURECTIONISTS.

The facility has moved from Guardian Centers in Perry, Georgia to GTI in Barnwell, South Carolina, but nothing else changes, we're still going to be the best gopniks there. Game is still from October 20-22. We're still going to get baller southern BBQ after the event. We'll have blank gats, blank machine guns, night vision (including rentals), cheap af Russian pryo, and unmatched autism of camaraderie.

We ALREADY have enough for a full platoon of salty slavs and we've had zero attrition due to the venue change. SO, if you wanna roll with the deepest platoon of militia defending this nuclear facility, join the OG discord server and inquire within. If you think you can't make it for logistical reasons, swing by anyway. We're going to have carpools, hotel shares, and gear, uniforms and gats for lending to those who need it. We have room for plenty more, but no telling how long that will last. Join today!

http://discord.me/asg

NO TELLING WHEN A PLATOON OF THIS TYPE WILL COME ABOUT AGAIN. IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE MILSIM WITHOUT THE TRYHARDS AND SELF-IMPORTANT TARDS, HERE IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO!

p.s., salty faggots who're assblasted someone is actually organizing anons successfully need not apply.

Track suits are just theming and also accurate. Slav meming is inevitable, whether we're there or not, whether it's track jackets or gorkas. It's part of the fun. If you don't like the idea of track apparel, there's a couple of squads dedicated to accurate Donetsk impressions. While it seems really cringy from the outside, that's pretty much all LARP. When you're in the moment, it's much less dorky.

But hey, we're a bunch of grown-ass men who run around in the woods playing military dress-up shooting plastic bbs at each other. I don't know if we want to talk about how "cringy" our hobby is.

Asked around here, and ordered pic related.
When I made an Evike acct they sent me a 25% off code (the code is "welcome")

A $300 gun for $220 sounded like a good starting point to me.

I'm not saying what I just ordered is the best option, I just liked the opportunity to get a higher end gun for a middle tier price.

It kind of depends on how sure you are you want to get into the hobby. If you've gone and rented guns or borrowed guns from friends and you're sure you can dedicate yourself, yeah, you can get a high quality gun off the bat. If you're still not sure, getting a cheap CYMA or Combat Machine and seeing if you have fun would mean you have a cheap back-up beater or loaner for later down the line, and if you don't like airsoft after all, you haven't spent too much.

I guess my best advice is don't rush. Get something that has utility in the direction you think you might want to go (military kits and so on). Feel out your play style and buy gear that aligns to it. If you want to do a military impression or a cosplay kit, that'll be open to you down the line. There's no shame in just going in civvie clothes for some casual pewpew either. Though big milsim and bblarp events make the expensive kit and uniform worth it for me, it doesn't have to be for everyone.

If you want some specific brand suggestions, Krytek are often cited as the gold standard for high end M4s, while LCT and E&L are often best cited for AK platforms. ASG has a couple of great Czech offerings if you like CZ platforms, and of course the Tokyo Marui recoil shock guns are industry standard for EBB. If you want a gas gun, GHK is largely considered the best for M4, AK, and their AUG platforms, though TM makes a pretty good M4 GBBR too.

>Airsoft is just a game. I treat it like one.
So do I, so what's it to you if I decide to put on 20lbs of armor and two grand worth of kit? I don't think I'm better than you at the game for it, I'm just having fun in my way.
>>
>>3082139
LCT AKs are a great starting point. You can take that gun to pretty much any Russian or militia/contractor kit and it'll last you for years. Just be aware they're a little picky as far as magazines go, so stick with LCT mags when you can. Otherwise you can get an insert that goes into the magwell around the hop-up unit that will make other brands of mags fit and feed better.

And if you're too much of a poorfag for the LCT, there's always the CYMA CM.040c. The finish won't be as nice as the LCT, but they're still rock solid guns.
They do seem to be out of stock everywhere for some reason though.

>All the dress up shit is useless
For any practical purposes yes but sometimes dressing up is part of the fun.
I exclusively play WWII and it's really fun to dress up as a nazi/commie and run around shouting faux german/russian. The acting is half the fun and the event organizers I usually play with use plenty of pyrotechnics to make things more fun.
Of course you need copious amounts of tongue-in-cheek and humor for it to work, WWII airsofters who take themselves seriously are almost as bad as kids who think they are as hard and serious as the fags in cowadoody: black cocks.

In field games and ops where you aren't going back to the car every 30 minutes these things have a utilitarian purpose. As someone who does field games a lot I can tell you that the extra second or two it takes to identify an individual from a landscape of bushes and leafs can make a difference. Granted LARPing levels of gear isn't, but basic shit helps a lot so you don't have to carry around mags in your jeans pockets. Like >>3082644 said though its fun sometimes to play dress up in all that military gear I've been collecting over the years but never had a use for. I've run cqb games before in a "contractor" getup which was a polo, jeans and boots with a chicom on top and that does the job just fine for that, but if I'm gonna be on the field for 8 hours with minimal breaks I'm gonna break out the other shit.
>>
>>3082858
I don't think he goes to more than local pick-up games. People who don't expand their equipment past tshirt and jeans also don't tend to expand their horizons to milsim and field ops. I mean, it's fine. Some of those guys come every week and are some of the friendliest players around, with some great skill, but they're not going to put in the effort to grow past that.
>>
>>3082858
Camo has a real application. But thats not what I meant. I mean the people that are covered head to toe like a navy seal or something in the shit they use in actual combat situation. As far as mags go; I'm the guy from a few threads back. All I have is a shitty a&k m249 I got of a guy. I gutted it and made it as good as I needed it to be. I just carry a few m16 mags in my pockets incase the drum fucks up. For extra bbs, I just carry a bottle in my backpack. I don't play much so all that extra stuff would be a waste of time for me.

>>3082644
Don't take this the wrong way, but the Slav and ww2 airsoft reenactment crowd have been some of the cringiest airsofters I have ever seen. Especially when the gear becomes a fashion statement.

>speedsofter shoots milsim guy in the dome from close range
>milsim player throws shitfit

While I think it's poor taste to shoot someone up close in such a sensitive area, minimum engagement distances are stupid. That whole it situation would have just been a cluster fuck of people arguing over "who said bang first?"

The milsim players shouldn't bitch though. They want to simulate combat, but don't don't want to feel pain or discomfort while doing it.

>my conclusion
Speecsofters are dicks, and milsim players are crybabies.
>>
>>3083083
All every kit is a fashion statement, my dude. Even the jeans and hoodies guys make a statement with their kit (or lack thereof). Some people act like their kit is a status symbol and we should all worship at their feet because they bought real crye or that their stitching is wrong for their reproduction Wehrmacht uniform. These people suck and suck the fun out of the hobby, but it's as much a pain in the ass for people to have some sort of superiority complex for putting no effort into their kit or hobby. It's fine that you or others put in the minimum effort since you're just not as autistic about things, it's fine that you don't really find goofy slav stereotypes and tired STALKER memes funny, it's not really meant to be, it's just LARPing with your buddies and having fun, and sometimes that means not being so seriously self-aware all the time. Pretend is part of the fun. But faggots who act like they're better because they're casuals who will never aspire to more than pick-up game pubbies are just as bad as the huge-ego milsimers. It just comes across as sour grapes, my dude.
>>
>>3083293
Nah, this isn't even milsim vs. speedsoft, this is some faggot not following the rules vs. some guys who were actually very fucking reasonable all things considered. Regardless of your opinion on MED rules, they were in play and it's entirely reasonable to assume that they will be followed. This isn't even a case of someone shooting at a sudden point blank face-to-face engagement, the shottie kid had the shield guy dead to rights and had his whole body as a target, not just the head. The short of this is, the kid was a prick, broke the rules, got called out on it calmly, and the game continued. Did you even watch the video?

This isn't a matter of the head being the only target, nor a matter of being in a sudden face-to-face confrontation. The MED rule might be stupid in the first place, but it's a rule, one you don't see at legit milsims. But rules are still rules. Contempt doesn't change that, and purposely skirting those rules which everyone is expected to follow is against the spirit of the game.

Save your money. Up against even the most basic bitch hobby level AEG you will cry. Alternately, go to your local field. Usually commercial fields will have rental options.

>>3085661
It's a beginner rifle. The steel ones are kinda nice, if a little thin on the steel. Internals and externals don't beat a cm4X series CYMA though. If you're picking one up on the used market for like $70, it'll probably last you a few months reliably until you're ready for something better, otherwise if you can get a CYMA instead, do so.

>>
>>3085747
Eyepro is good. However, a badly placed and high powered enough shot can damage your teeth. I'd recommend one of those steel mesh half masks. You can just drape a cloth over it and you'll look fine.
>>
>>3085235
People who wear their kit in public because it's "cool" are so rare it's ludicrous. 99.9% of the time someone is wearing their kit outside of the field is because either they're too lazy to change after a long day, or they're on their way and didn't want to change once they got there.

Kit worship though, that's a thing. It's always a good feeling when someone notices the time, effort, and money I put into my kit, so I can even understand why people enjoy it, but I already mentioned the shitheads who wear expensive/accurate kit to lord it over other people. They're shitheads, but they're not necessarily representative. I've come across plenty of guys who have worn or can produce accurate impression grade kits, and don their dress-up for the fun of it. Since I'm a bigger gear queer than most of the guys there, I've also never had a problem with Crye donning faggots giving me trouble with their elitism. You won't even notice which guys are using cryes or $600 plate carriers with armor and not being insufferable faggots because repro shit looks close enough to the untrained eye.

You only notice the huge dickheads because they need to make sure EVERYONE knows about their legit LBT plate carrier with level 4 plates and real Airframe helmet with a Team Wendy liner and MSA Sordins on the arc rails, while most guys with all that will keep their trap shut unless you ask about it. I can't really prove it to you. It's just something you start noticing the more you get into gear and know what to look for. There are loads of guys with some really legit kit that just don't brag about it. They get out there and play in it and have fun.

>>3085747
Depends on your field. In the US most fields require full seal eyepro, so typically no. Get a mesh mask if you can too. Protecting teeth is important.
>>
>>3082060
having a chest rig camelbak and kneepads is fine IMO. but plate carriers and ballistic helmets and shit seem overkill.

ARs are by far the most popular style and have the biggest selection of aftermarket shit. once you start moving towards more obscure stuff you start running into expensive proprietary shit that has zero aftermarket selection, which means you're paying a premium for magazines and have less ability to upgrade your internals.

Here's what I can tell you from my time as an indoor ref:

Cqb fields make very little money if any. When I was doing it, we couldn't afford to kick people out. It doesn't help that the ref probably doesn't feel like or wants to be there, and probably is only getting a bag of bbs as payment.

Tl;dr the ref just doesn't care because he hates airsoft.

>>3081838
How many people does this kind of event bring in anyway? The airsoft festival in the UK had 2.5k players, I'm guessing burgers have bigger than that?
>>
>>3087055
The U.K. National Airsoft event doesn't really have an easy analog in the US, but then it's also not really a Milsim event. MSW is a 40 hour continuous event where you're on the field without a break, sustaining. Numbers are typically in the 200-400 range. For this game, it's their biggest game yet, so it could be as large as 800 bodies but more likely around 600. There is a limit. That's not to say that there aren't games that break 1k players. Fulda Gap does so every fall, and there are intentionally large games here and there. Milsim West just isn't that kind of company.

US airsoft is much more spread out and decentralized. Some states have big games, but with the lack of any sort of nationally, or even regionally recognized governing body, there's no space for an "official" large scale airsoft festival to occur.

If its just the piston, I wouldn't be worried. Those things are cheap af. The cylinder itself is different, so the piston head might be too. The cylinder head is definitely different.
Make sure its a real Marui, because older Echo1 or KART guns have their own specs and V7 parts won't always fit.

TIL it's illegal to sell Irish DPM.

What loadout should I make to go with my AUG if I can't rock paddyflage?
>>
>>3091089
I mean it's illegal to sell CADPAT, and Finnish M05 until recently.
If Paddyflage is too hard to get your hands on, you could always do an Aussie or Austrian Bundesheer kit; I actually think there's a dude here (or used to) that has a Bundesheer inspired kit.

>>
>>3091089
That's actually not true. The pattern is proprietary and therefore is only licensed to a limited number of companies such as Arktis, but you can buy Irish DPM uniforms if you know where to look. It's not like the Danes with their fancy M84 flecktarn which they destroy rather than surplus out, Irish DPM is as available as Swedish M90 or French CCE, or Greek Lizard; you just have to know where to look.
>>
>>3091803
And where would one look, given that ebay, irish surplus sites, both surplus stores I actually like, varusteleka and google have all failed to get anything beyond a handful of small shirts?

>>
>>3095212
Air rifles in the USA are never considered firearms because they lack receivers which could be used in a firearm. E&L and other airsoft manufacturers have to ensure that their externals aside from accessories such as stocks, iron sights, etc can't be used to make a firearm under this ruling and thus have to have holes drilled in places such as the barrel and other details like that to comply with the law. Even in Europe I believe a firearm is only identified by the bolt and other internals which can be used to fire ammunition. HPA as far as I know lacks the definition of any country's ruling of what a firearm is, aside from Australia.
>>
>>3095242
I'm not in the USA. Here.

https://www.ukapu.org.uk/ukapu-and-ukara-briefing-on-commencement-of-pca-firearms-provisions/

An airsoft gun capable of fully automatic fire with more than 1.3j of muzzle energy could be considered a section 5 firearm. meaning a mandatory five year jail sentence for owning it. Nobody is entirely sure how this law is going to shake out, and iirc it's europe wide, not just for bongs.

I want to get a G&G MP5, but I have real MP5 furniture (light grip, collapsible stock) and I need a very small (preferably 9.6v) battery to go in between the grip and the outer barrel, because i'm removing the solid stock. here's a pic of the space I have at my disposal, with .308 shell for reference

i'm also assuming i'm gonna have to drill thru the trunnion?

any help appreciated

You should easily be able to fit a flat cell butterfly or nunchuck battery. As for the trunnion, airsoft MP5 handguards are just plastic shells but you might be able to fit the barrel though.
Honestly I don't even know if Tokyo Marui based MP5s (Which I'm pretty sure the G&G is) is 1:1 with real steel.

Does /asg/ maintain trigget discipline ingame? For some reason I've always been so autistic about trigger discipline that I can't not acknowledge when my finger is on the trigger as if I'm going out of my way to have it like that, so I'm often in this balance in game of keeping my finger off the trigger yet putting it on because I'm worried someone will pop out and the transition will make me have a slower reaction time. Seriously, I'm so autistic about it to myself that if I hold like a drill or a spray I'll still maintain it out of it being so automatic and natural to me

Tell it to the insurance companies, my dudes. Bang rules might feel like a stick in the mud, but for pickups it definitely shows who's a good, honorable player and who's going to cause problems. Mutual bang kills and all the other issues people take with bang rules have clear solutions, while all the conflicts that come up are a result of a failure of sportsmanship. If someone is being a cunt and shrugging off bang kills, bring it up with the ref just like they were shrugging off hits normally. If you end up in a conflict for who said what first, be the bigger man and call the hit. Bring it up with a ref later. If you get hit inside of MED, give him a chance to apologize and if it's consistent, bring it up with a ref like every other rule infraction. If you go to a good field, they'll address the issue.

Bang rules have simple logic to them. If you end up with a conflict, the correct answer, like every other Airsoft conflict, is to always be the honorable player, even when your opponent is not. Be the bigger man, because as long as miserly (((insurance companies))) keep our sport above board, you'll have to tolerate them for pickup games. May as well not get booted from your local field for skirting them. Go to legit milsims if you want to avoid them.

Selling M05 has never been illegal, and neither has been possession, or anything.

The issue with M05 has been is that the pattern is owned by the Finnish Defence Forces, and they held a very tight grip on it - thus nobody could produce it.

Naturally Russians gave no fucks and cloned it as the Jagel. The Belgians (Seyntex) also copied it and sold it to Luxembourg, despite FDF's strict refusal to, this leading to FDF cut their contract with Seyntex.

But, so, owning and buying M05 is entirely legal, if you just can get your hands on it.

To start, a caveat: MOST fields won't let you use shields of any type. The CoD kiddies ruined that years ago by being little speedsofter shits who didn't call their hits. Only two fields in range of me (Chicago-Milwaukee area) will let me use my shield, and the only one that's really local to me lets me use it under a couple of conditions. The main one is that my shield is a replica of a real Russian Vant-LM, is only about torso sized, and weighs about 15lbs. It's like running around with an LMG strapped to your arm while also trying to maneuver a pistol.

Second condition is somewhat self-imposed, but it definitely sold the set-up to the field owner to make me an exception to the rule, and that's I'm in full armor. I'm wearing a fully ballistic armor carrier that weighs about 25 pounds, and a real ballistic helmet that weighs about another 5lbs or more (I have a couple).

All the extra weight and being limited to a pistol balances out that I'm able to block roughly any rounds coming forward center mass, and it's tremendously valuable in clearing out tight spaces. If you're in good enough shape, you can do explosive entries solo and take randoms before they're even ready for you. Most of their shots will be center mass in a panic, so even with a small shield it can be intensely useful.

Fulfilling those conditions isn't cheap. The shield cost about $200, the armor overall cost me nearly a grand, but that's because mine is all issued Russian gear. You can fulfill armor domestically and build a shield based on LEO shields out of scrap metal. Just remember weight and dedication count. I was able to use my shield only because I made the effort and played cleanly and called bang kills even if they were up front. If you want to get one of those Plexiglas shitter shields, ask your local field if they're permitted, because I had to jump through a whole lot of hoops first.

tl;dr Use Milsim West shield rules and play clean, or you might not get to shield it up.

I still like the idea that one guy at my old field had where he made a shield out of layers of cardboard with a view port made from plastic packaging. It meant that most shots would be deflected or embedded in the cardboard, and high power or sustained fire could degrade the shield over time; the plastic view port could also be pierced by a rifle after it got shot up enough, which made people focus more on aiming instead of just hosing the shield down.

Also since you brought it up, what are some good fields in the Chicago area? I've been here for about a year now but all of the places near me seem to be over an hour out and are just paintball arenas.

They're aesthetic but most pistols aren't good past 100 feet save for a few brands and models.

>>3102825
If you're willing to go into Wisconsin, Black Ops in Bristol is where they let me use the shield. Otherwise there's an indoor arena in Milwaukee that's run by good folks and dodges most of the indoor cancer. If you wanna coordinate something, there's a small group of Chicago/Milwaukee fags in the OG discord.

I think most people have a ricing phase or at least an urge. When you're especially new you may get this idea that all that stuff will enhance your performance, but in reality like you said they haven't touched the internals and are probably running with a 40 dollar Condor chestrig with cumbersome pouch layouts.

There's no velocity limit written into US law, so it varies based on region/field. I lucked out, since all the local fields eventually adopted the same rules.

350fps/0ft MED for pistols, shotguns, and SMGs/short rifles

400fps/20ft MED for all other rifles

450fps/50ft MED for LMGs and DMRs, with model restrictions for each

500fps/100ft MED for spring BARs

Gas/HPA setups have a slightly lower FPS limit, but they get chrono'd with 0.25s instead of 0.2s.

>>3106668
Again, varies by region/field. Around here, we can use pyro as long as there isn't a burn ban in effect. so maybe three months out of the year.

why would you chrono HPA and Gas with 0.25s at slightly lower speeds, that only gives them more power, never mind the absurdity that is a gas gun chrono'd in the morning. They always get more energy until 3:00 pm, when temps usually hit their peaks.

>>3110347
Average age here is lower than on k, which means that the trap acceptance rate is higher. Also, your sperging will draw them in like sperging about furries draws in furries. These people do not understand the NAP.

They make a big deal out of HPA users suspected of tweaking their rigs after chrono, but it's totally cool if tryhard Bobby walks in with his overvolumed Combat Machine and overshoots the fuck out of everyone at 3J.

US sites typically think velocity (and sometimes ROF) is the only thing that matters since their insurance policy doesn't require them to check muzzle energy.

Ok you /asg/ shits, I've been out drinking and socializing with people to join our cause, and what do you know I met one of the founders of the airsoft commnity in my area.

He was there during the explosive growth of airsoft when it got legalized in my country in the early 2000's, he witnessed the downfall of the whole community during the early 2010's when the old breed got tired and no one stepped up to take over.

I, who fought to keep this community alive with a bunch of other souls in our county, told him that even if he was an old divorced man now, he was still welcome to join us for a game, and that his legacy was alive and well.

I hope he'll join us in a couple of weeks.

>Hop up tech hasn't changed much at all really for a decade.
You can say all you want about TM, but it is really the avantgarde of softair-development. Many other companies just clone their stuff, thus the money doesn't go into development at all. Why would anybody bother to develop a spinning bb-technique just for other producers to plagiate? I think that's why we can't have good things.
Anyways, that's just my take on this subject.
>>
>>3119895
Its because Tokyo Marui still sells well. They may have more competition outside of Japan but they care more about the Japanese market than they do the clone filled west. I can see them figuring out a way to make a hop up which would work and they'd make plenty of money off of it from airsoft collectors in Japan alone.
>>
>>3119914
Maybe you're right. The market in japan is quite huge after all, so i could imagine that.
What bothers me is the fact that so many people have 3d printers and CnC machines for home/hobby use already, yet there's no real innovation in the airsoft scene, technic-wise. This century was supposed to be a homefabbing revolution. Or are we at some point in airsoft where development is no longer needed/ possible?
>>
>>3119942
We're in a post clone boom market. Everyone owns a decent gun now and teching is starting to resurface since for years its just been a rebuy if broken culture due to how cheap clones were. We're already seeing all sorts of crazy magazine adapters and other small things from 3D printing. Wouldn't be surprised if some mechanical engineer figured out how to make a drop in lateral hop up or something and started selling the printed models online. The big issue is that 3D printing is still in its infancy. Give it another 3-4 years and 3D printers will play a huge role in the aftermarket.
>>
>>3119957
So there's a silver line on the horizon, huh. I'd believe 3d printing is quite advanced so far, seeing fairly well-printed molds or templates. It's just that there's no platform (that i know of) that solely specialises on airsoft aftermarket CAD-files, Molds or the like. Maybe i should look into this further.
>>
>>3120037
The big issue is that 3D printing is still seen by the average person as a hobby or a specialized part of an industry. There also needs to be an Amazon of 3D prints site where one can easily search up and buy physical copies of or buy rights to 3D printed designs. Good printers are becoming cheaper than 400 now and soon it will become a tool for many hobbies as well as diy projects rather than a novelty.

Hey, in terms of support for SOCOM Mk23, for example, 3D printing was a Godsend.
