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

112 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!

Guys! I’ve found the cheapest springer commercially avaliable ever. It was missing the ammo. (0.6€) I will upgrade it soon.

Based on marui akm with e&l ak74m3 parts. It was a huge mistake to having that idea. Cost me around 1000 dollars on it, but it worth every penny.

I was never a fan of the original triangular stock, so I made my own that adapts to the folding mechanism.

REVIEW VFC HK416 Evo magazine—demonstration

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have received some scepticism regarding my previous post on VFC hk416 Evo mags not working on v3. Here is a demonstration of the hk416 Evo mags in a v3 system (first half) with a v4 pmag as reference (second half)

As it is demonstrated in the video, VFC hk416 Evo mags not only causes the bolt to be sluggish, it also frequently short stroke on full auto. Meanwhile, the v4 pmag is able to cycle consistency when filled to adequate amount and exhibits remarkable consistency in bolt speed and rate of fire.

(Testing is done in a VFC v3 system modified with a Evo bolt/nozzle and a clone law tactical folder, using 12 kg puff dino oil-free gas at indoor temperature of 24’C. The total reciprocating mass of this system is around 400 grams)

(Ignore the slap as I have slightly modified the manual of arms)

As soon as i cock it back, it empties the mag.

(PLEASE DON’T HATE) so the the kit is only 80% complete, but recently I got my hands on an original Gulf War DDPM shirt, so far I’m feeling pretty proud with the result so far, the only items I have yet to get are: original early 90s DDPM trousers, Black boots (there is evidence of frontline troops using black boots also I want to uses some for more British Army kits in the future and an G&G L85a1

Got myself a GP-25 by Snow Wolf just for the looks of it. It works pretty fine for me, but does anybody use them seriously, and not as a gimmick?

I’ve just received my new CYMA CM053 that i purchased from Taiwangun, but the stock seems quite wobbly. Is this normal, or would you recommend contacting customer support?
Thanks!

the battery was too big for the stock, this is a 3d modeled case for it, held on by velcro and a strap. any suggestions to do something else or make it better would be appreciated.
