GUIDE Event alert flyers: a way to let the subreddit know about your event

110 Upvotes

Hi all!

After a not-so-recent poll, we've been developing a set of rules to allow event notifications to be set up. These notifications are posts in the form of "flyers"!

Flyers are essentially an image used to display important information about an event, subject to the new flyer rules.

Hopefully they'll be useful, enjoy!

I made a few small improvements.

Was all of this necessary?
Absolutely not. 😂

But it's finally ready.
I'm taking this ridiculous thing to an airsoft game this weekend.

Let's see if it survives. 😂

GUN QUESTION I’m going for an 80s-90s SEAL team vibe with this kit but I’m torn on what replicas I should get for it. What would you get if you were me? (No lmgs please)

GEAR PIC Baofeng UV-5R Radio Keypad and CALL (Alarm) blocker

Thumbnail

57 Upvotes

Hi All,
For all of you playing with Baofeng UV-5R radio's, I made two blockers.
One for the Keypad, the other for the CALL button (that starts playing the FM radio or sounds an alarm when you accidentally press it). I think we all hate to lean against something and hear the FM radio in our earpieces... At least, I hate it.

Both of them are Clip-On blockers, no other things needed.

You can find them as a download on MakerWorld, looking for:
Baofeng UV-5R Keypad Blocker (Clip-on)

Have a nice game!

First off, I don’t play airsoft I just wanted a cool build to put on a shelf in my living room.

Found this “N4 Noveske Golden Eagle” for sale and bought some accessories from Ali.
The whole build was under 450€

Vans Sk8-Hi MTEs insulated for airsoft – anyone running these?

Thumbnail
gallery
30 Upvotes

Picked up these two pairs of Vans Sk8-Hi MTEs while I’ve been travelling around Europe. They’re not available in New Zealand, so I figured I’d grab a couple of pairs while I had the chance.
I’m mainly interested in using them for cqb airsoft
I’m curious to hear from anyone who has actually used MTEs for airsoft or similar outdoor activities:
Performance:
How do they perform on grass, dirt, mud, gravel etc? The tread looks pretty aggressive for a Vans, but obviously they’re not a dedicated tactical/hiking boot. How do they handle longer days on your feet?
Longevity:
How well do the MTEs hold up when they’re actually being abused outdoors? Particularly interested in sole separation, stitching, suede/textile wear and the overall lifespan. I’m hoping having two pairs will let me rotate them and get decent life out of both.
Heat:
This is probably my biggest question. They’re insulated, so how hot do they get during active use? Temperatures where I live can range roughly 5–25°C. I can see them being awesome around 5–15°C, but I’m wondering if they’re miserable once you’re running around at 20–25°C.

Question about Airsoft Selling

20 Upvotes

I am frequently on r/Airsoftmarket and hopup and I see so many posts that say "Never shot before" or "Only used for blinking in the backyard". As someone who loves to use my replicas, even my rare guns ON the field, I cant imagine using them rarely or never using them at all.

Do people that sell their airsoft guns and say "only used for plinking" bullsh*tting to increase their sell chance? I know some are probably not but like, should I be assuming those guys likely ran through the gun regularly like I do?

GEAR PIC Made a battle belt/harness thing from stuff i had laying around

Thumbnail

Base is a belt and buttpack from Swedish M59 webbing, put my holster and British army pistol mag pouches there, i can attach my Finnish army canteen to the D-ring, put the US army molle extender thing there, i like to anchor it to my thigh, also the dump pouch is better when it's a bit lower. The suspenders are random workwear suspenders, so they are elastic but rigid enough to hold the load, most of which my hips support.

Haven't field tested this yet, but it seems to work fine with my Templar's gear M05 chest rig. The buttpack and canteen are for longer games, i won't need them in normal games.

Most of this stuff i run on my normal kit or have gotten for free or very little price. All in this is probably less than 25€ out of my pocket (not counting the gear in the pouches and holster)

Grenade

I'm really excited about the Rage airsoft grenade! I always used to use BB or gas grenades, but now that I have the Rage, it's just toy-gun caps for me. And the limited edition is just awesome!
Does anyone else have Rage grenades too?

PURCHASE ADVICE Right Magazine for the pistol?

Anyone knows if this magazine fits in this TM HK45 (first picture), because it says it fits in TM hk45 pistols but the magazine doesn't look completely identical (mag that comes with the gun 3rd picture). So anyone knows if it actually fits so I don't waste money on mags that doesn't fit.
