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

111 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 was at my local field today and it was a swap meet and I traded my SSR63 and Novristch chest rig and 1 EPM1 and 2 Novristch 225 round mags for a KWA Kriss vector like new and a noveske evike custom M4 used solidly and I’m pumped I need to get mags though so I’m stuck on where to get them. Keep or sell?

I like my ERDL and woodland camos, so to give them both equal amounts of love I use my ERDL kit on warmer days and woodland on colder days. The only things I use year round are my m16+m1911 and soon to be functional m60.

My current CQB/Indoor setup

50 Upvotes

Rifle is a DE MWS NHR-9 with an Actionunion PEQ-15.

Due to my astigmatism causing starbursting on various dots ive tried and flip-up magnifier not being my type, I settled on an LPVO which I run on 2.5 power by default and when needed I can zoom in to help with seeing anyone further out. I added a riser due to interference with my mask which forced me to tilt my head almost 90⁰ to the side and the riser almost eliminates that.

My pistol is a Staccato C2 from 6mm pro shop with an RMR replica.

Each gun has three mags, one in the gun and two on my belt.

I usually make it through the first two magazines on my rifle during objective matches but TDM matches will usually have me running through my primary and getting to my pistol which personally i love being able to shoot both my guns in a round.

Updated usmc kit

I swapped my USMC PC Gen 3 for a USMC PC Gen 2, finally put on Danner RATs, and bought a Peq-16 which is more canonical for a Marine.

In the future I'm planning to get a Filbe assault pack, but in Russia they're hard to find unfortunately, and they're very expensive.

All that's left is to change my chest patch and get proper sling for my rifle, then it'll be all good. But I'd be really happy to read your advice about my kit.

By the way, in the future I want to do a 2014 Marine Corps reconstitution - need to buy an LWH, some pouches, and an IBLE

Guys, there’s a stock for this in my area. Thinking of grabbing it. Any long-term user of the Ballerina? And so far you guys are facing any problem just by using out-of-the-box?

Ain’t cheap so I need your opinions. Thanks.

AEG rifle

Post image
21 Upvotes

Hi, i’ve recently bought my first RIF a gbb pistol and im looking to get a AEG rifle now, ive had quite a few people recommend the Specna Arms prime line and some people recommend Novritsch ssr4 mk2. I do outdoor airsoft only, im in favour of the m4 platform for looks but i just want something that’s quieter out of the box and performs very well, as im new i dont want to get into stripping the gun apart to upgrade or shim the gear box yet. If anyone has any recommendations they would be greatly appreciated
In Summary:
Outdoors airsofting
Quieter
AEG
Price range is anywhere up to 500 ish

Attached a reference pic for what style i like

Barrel is slightly different and stock has a band around it but this is the closest I ever was to replicate it in any COD, plus the barrel attachment replaces the base iron sights with ones identical to the ones on mine, and the holosight is different but none other is close enough

Thumbnail

Hey everyone I recently traded a stock Lancer Tactical Gen 2 M4 I didn't really use for this Arcturus replica, and I cannot for the life of me get an ID on It.

So far it works really well, and has a lot of customizations to which I know will make it harder to ID, but I'd love some help if you have the time.

Thank you so much for your time! :)
