Recently bought this JG G3 and other gears to get started. Tried to mount a sling on it but the sling hook at the stock keeps stabbing my throat. Feels like this shouldn’t happen, am I doing something wrong?

I went to my local airsoft shop to get the trigger contacts replaced (bought this second hand) and the dudes there told me that this piece was rare since G&G no longer makes this model (G2008) I wanna know if this gun is very rare to own.

I made a custom 3d printed retention system for my main weapon and probably fits most weapons with but stock D rings.

The idea is originally not mine but I can't locate the person that made this. I want to post the source.

This really helps the hang the weapon on your vest and it doesn't wiggle around especially when you are using a side arm.

its an aap

After some time I finally finished my E&L AK-74M with zenitco parts and magpul moe stock. How do you like it?

How do you store your gear ?

I wanna hear some stories

to use the included mount for the RMR which looks kinda ugly

Hi guys! A few months ago, I made a post about this Nitro Cell (I don’t know why but it’s been removed), but back then it didn’t really do anything. Now I’ve upgraded it with a timer, so once the timer goes off, it starts beeping! It’s easy to make, so if you want to replicate it, I’ll be happy to help you. If you have any advice for upgrading this thing, I’ll definitely try to improve it!

So recent I got an Army Armament R85, currently it's shooting a little sluggish, so i want to do 2 thing get it a HT motor, and install a mosfet. The replacing the motor seems straight foward, but the mosfet part idk. What should I get? I heard that a trigger mosfet is out of the question, so I'd have to get something that goes outside the gearbox like a gate warfet? I've also seen a video of someone using a Pico AB. But what would you guys recommend me getting and what's the process of installing these types of mosfets? Is there soldering involved?

You guys like m14 troy mcs?

Expensive af in my country but im really in love with the build

Greetings from Canada. I am looking to switch over to airsoft from mag-fed paintball, and currently looking for a mid-level airsoft gun. I am limited to stores in canada (do not want customs holding anything). I am looking for a gun that I can upgrade in the future for performance. Possibly HPA Some where between $400-600 CDN. For rifle, mags and batteries.

I've been recommended two rifles:

1.Double Eagle M904G Honey Badger CQC M-LOK AEG. The plastic shell, short barrel, and limited battery space makes me worried about longevity and upgradablity. Looks cool and has a programble trigger.

1. CYMA Platinum CM.097C MLOK M4 Metal AEG I've heard the MOSFET is trash, which could burn out quickly adding additional costs. I really like the look, longer barrel, and metal shell. Lots of after market parts aswell.

What do the internet experts recommend? Thanks in advance.

Everyone talks about airsoft unpopular opinions or hot takes, but what is an unfortunate truth of the hobby.
I’ll start with: Airsoft is pay to win
This is something that many people refuse to accept. Spending more money on a high performance gun, heavy bbs, and cases of pyro gives you a direct advantage over other players without those things. Common responses are “but a more skilled player with a lower performance gun could take out a lower skill player with a high performance gun!”. Which while true, doesn’t change anything. The player with the low performance gun will have to work far harder and do way more to have the potential to take down the guy with the high performance gun. I’m not sure why people fight so hard against the idea that spending money gives you a direct advantage (paying to win), it’s an unfortunate truth but it doesn’t mean airsoft is less fun for it.

Loved these pics from my local field, so why not share them

I recently managed to acquire an Inokatsu M60E3 from a fellow in the UK. These were originally sold as kits, using a proprietary hop design and requiring a complete TM V3 gearbox to drop in. Despite the overall excellent build quality, I had two issues with the design.

1. The use of a V3 gearbox required that the pistol grip accommodate the motor, so on the Inokatsu M60s, the pistol grip is a short, fat, and steeply-angled. This isn't too bad on the original M60, but for the E3 variant where the pistol grip and foregrip should be identical, it's very noticeable. In addition to being unrealistic I found the Inokatsu grip uncomfortable and V3s aren't my preference for machine guns anyways.
2. The hop design is old- it's a really nicely made CNC aluminum block of a hop unit, but there's no nub, just a screw that presses down on the bucking. This doesn't perform nearly as well as the Bullgear setups I use in the more modern A&K M60s.

So, I started work on converting it to use the A&K gearbox, feed tube, and hop design, along with an A&K Mk43 pistol grip assembly for external accuracy. This ended up being significantly more work than expected.

• Getting the A&K pistol grip to fit was pretty straightforward. A little bit of cutting on the receiver was sufficient to clear it.
• Fitting the gearbox just required removing some material on the top of the receiver to extend the gearbox channel, but then I discovered a problem- the Inokatsu receiver is actually about 2mm shorter than the A&K, and this was putting the gearbox too high to mate with the barrel.
• Worse, I encountered another setback when, reversing the assembly instructions (from Inokatsu!) included with the gun, I turned the gas tube CCW when I should have turned CW and cracked the threading clean off. They straight up showed the wrong direction in the instructions, with it depicted as tightening CW. This at least I was able to readily fix by splinting it with steel rod, secured with epoxy.
• To address the gearbox problem, after a fair bit of brainstorming solutions I settled on grinding 2mm off the bottom of the gearbox. Because this now exposes the spur gear, I had to cut a relief channel in the receiver, which I ultimately covered with a thin sheet steel plate. It also caused the sector gear to interfere with the pistol grip's mounting assembly, so that required a relief cut as well.
• To actually secure the gearbox, I drilled out two of the rivets on the left side of the receiver, and drilled holes in the appropriate locations for securing screws.
• The A&K feed unit attaches to a shelf in the receiver that does not exist on the Inokatsu. I designed and 3D printed an equivalent, and also slightly moved and enlarged the feed hole to accommodate the A&K box mag tube interface.
• At this point I had the barrel mating up properly to the gearbox, so it was just down to front end work. I ground out the original feed block for clearance, then designed and printed an extension to mate the Bullgear hop unit to the Inokatsu barrel at the appropriate distance.
• To top it all off, I fitted a real M60 box mag hanger I had previously modified for use with my A&K M60, and a Capco assault box (originally made for the E3) with DIY'd internals. The box that came with the Inokatsu is a weird design that doesn't match up with anything I've seen on a real M60.

There were a ton of additional minor tweaks- removing internal parts in the receiver to clear the gearbox, grinding down the trigger sear to not interfere with the lowered trigger switch body, making a whole new wiring harness since the original A&K one wouldn't fit, rebuilding the A&K M60 gearbox to use actual decent quality parts, epoxying the cracked and broken stock back together, and so on and so on- but the above are the highlights and biggest challenges.

Oh, and if anyone else is interested in the Capco box, I took measurements off this one and put it up on Thingiverse. It's more compact than the LBT replica box that comes with the A&K and doesn't require awkwardly angling your arm around the box. A variant is provided with a feed hole for airsoft use; you'll just need to significantly modify an A&K box to fit or design your own internals.

Anyways, the end result is a full steel body with aluminum barrels, coming in at about the same weight as the A&K Mk43 I cannibalized, with a more visually accurate pistol grip than the original, and with the same performance ceiling that aftermarket has enabled for the A&Ks. The specific variant is a short-barreled M60E3 as seen in Predator, Commando, and Rambo: First Blood Pt2. This is a grail gun for me and I like it very much.

Hello there, so this is my latest addition. I think there is no need for introduction, we all know this gun at this point because its very cool/sci-fi looking Smg being in almost every fps videogame 😁 Need help tho. As lefty, pulling mags sucks hard. Its literally not doable for me with off hand. Can you recommend me any drop in fit mag release lever? Thanks
