DMR vs Bolt Action - What's a Better Airsoft Sniper Rifle? | Airsoftology Q&A Show

[@arttukleemola6964]

Airsoft game would be cool where everybody is using a wooden looking bolt action rifle.

[@Sanshirobo]

So WWI? That would be badass, I know that VSR-10's have been converted to Lee-Enfields and that S&T and G&G makes a Springfield. The problem with that is that the only Triple Alliance bolt action I know exists in airsoft form is the are the shell ejecting DBoys K98K and the G&G K98K that runs off of 8g (NOT 12g) CO2 cartridges. Now if you're not limiting yourself to WWI stuff, your options expand to the Mosin-Nagants and the S&T Arisaka. Past that, there's a whole boatload of options I don't know of. There's probably an airsoft R700 for all I know.

[@Gwartonium]

Reshiram9001 Officers with revolvers and pistols lol

[@Sanshirobo]

Jay Ileiwat You're right, I completely forgot about sidearms. Besides the 1911, it would be really interesting to see what handgun choices people make.

[@arttukleemola6964]

Thanks for answering u guys are awesome!

[@abelbabel8484]

Nagant and Webley revolvers, Makarov and Tokarev pistols, Luger P08, P38 and Broomhandle Mausers all come to mind as possibilities. Sounds pretty awesome to me :)

[@nicholasrucinski1651]

How can I convince my parents that airsoft is a sport

[@CryptoAbe]

Show them your love for it. Be persistent

[@tycoon1323]

Aside from consistancy, tell them the pros. 1. Constant movement and running 2. Strategy and team building 3. Learning patience before taking a shot or waiting for a team to go by before taking them down from behind

[@petrberan2959]

Same problem...

[@brandonfaletti1472]

Step 1. Admit it's not lol

[@eggward2859]

If gaming is a sport airsoft is i like both but airsoft is with out a doubt a sport

[@caelinham9906]

You have earned my subscription. Keep up the great vids

[@reedh2820]

I think that DMR vs Sniper has helped push me to a SR-25. Thanks!

[@fitfam6073]

Hey Jonathan,How do you feel about heelys in airsoft ,preferably speed soft

[@Sanshirobo]

Fit Fam A terrible idea 10 times out of 10. BB's could probably get stucm near the wheel and would send you into a faceplant. Even in the staging area it would be a bad idea because no matter how clean you think it is, there's always a bb to be swept up.

[@josiahs9559]

Probably not the safest but this would be really fun, just imagine seeing a swarm of dye masks and Hi capas rolling toward you, I think this would be cool to see, and really fun, but of coarse with liability it may not be possible for fields to allow this

[@throwaway4827]

This is why I quit this sport. The community is complete and utter cancer.

[@Fishlord136]

Lol what a fucking troll

[@Fishlord136]

+Will Kilmer actually the only good reason to quit was because you didn't enjoy the sport as a whole

[@ostmen_draugr]

I went straight to the sniper class before getting a dmr. I actually enjoy the sniper gameplay since I'm always the scout sniper on my team, so I get the forward missions. More engagements, more tactics involved for evasion & infiltration. I got the dmr just incase i need to switch roles due to teammate illness or injury. Got to say I prefer the scout sniper over designated marksmen.

[@mounirdarwiche6075]

After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel kzbin.infoUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!

[@hoeruokamix]

Saying that a DMR has to be .30 caliber is nonsense in the real world. A Mk12 SPR was designed as a semi-auto precision rifle. Ie, exactly what a Designated Marksman might choose to use. .308 rifles can give some extra range, but it's not a requirement. DM is a role, not a rifle.

[@abelbabel8484]

Good point, I never thought of that - do you happen to know whether sites and events that require airsoft DMRs to be based on real life DM rifles would accept an Mk12 SPR? Or do they insist on the M14s and SR25s and SVDs and 417s, yknow, replicas of the full size rifle caliber platform?

[@Turgz]

Aaron B. A DMR does in fact have to be .30 cal because squad level marksmen are there to increase the firing range of a squad since everyone else is using 5.56mm. That's the whole point in the squad marksman to increase a squad's range, not to achieve 1st round hits like a sniper. A Mk12 is used by snipers, not DM. It's used to take very accurate shots at up to 400m and the shooter is usually apart of a larger team.

[@nebairsoft]

I really hope that this gets rated up. Im looking for a light, long-range aeg. I do not want a sniper or a dmr; but somthing which has full auto capability! Thanks and I hope that you can help me.

[@josiahs9559]

You could always get a tech to swap out the bucking, hopup, or barrel if you want a more accurate gun

[@nebairsoft]

Really I don't wanna go over 300

[@josiahs9559]

I would say if you want a gun that's accurate out of the box see if you can pick up a krytac for under 300, they have good hopups and buckings, or get a shop to upgrade a cheaper gun to be more accurate(maybe 30ish for tech work, 10 for a bucking, 25 for a hopup, and if you want a nice barrel(which isn't that important for accuracy) it would be like 50ish)

[@nebairsoft]

Thanks for the suggestions helps alot!

[@abelbabel8484]

All AEGs are pretty much identical inside. Key to long range is consistent gun performance and heavy BBs. What you're looking for is a nice and solid platform with a stiff body and barrel assembly (flex in either can kill your accuracy) and a barrel length of between about 380mm and 450mm - that allows you to make good use of a full volume cylinder which gives you enough moving air per shot for nice and heavy BBs (0.3g or .32g). Bullpup models, if you can put up with one, are a good way to get that barrel length into a compact, easily handled package. For internal work you'll want to make sure the compression in your gun is as perfect as you can get it (o-ring on the piston head, aftermarket airseal nozzle) and that the hopup is aggressive enough to properly lift the heavier BBs. I hope this helps a bit. If you have any questions about something I said or something other, feel free to ask. :)

[@AirsoftHemi]

Jonathan, can you mention what's the pros and cons of "lapping vs polishing" your Airsoft Inner Barrel? I tried researching this and there's limited websites out there with information in regards to this. Thanks.

[@StankyDawg69]

Is it a bad idea to waterproof spray my chest rig/plate carrier?

[@tnpsheepdog3289]

Depends on your philososphy of use. Some real world guys spray paint their web gear but then again, it is not their property. I can think of two reasons why you would want to waterproof kit, 1. You don't want it to get water logged while playing in snow or rain, and 2. You don't want body odor to imbed itself in the fabric. For 1, I would say forget it, when your done playing, just hang to dry. For 2, I would also say forget it because there is a product by combat hygiene that you can use to de ordorize kit. Hope this helped!

[@joelhaight4731]

StankyDawg69 I actually did this and not gunna lie it's really good to do other than when it rains it kinda forces the water on by back into my dump pouch lol

[@abelbabel8484]

Hahahaha, I never considered that could happen - I guess that's why most dump pouches and pouches in general have drainage holes :)

[@joelhaight4731]

Abel Babel yeah mine doesn't lmfao 😐

[@prestonestep9583]

My first airsoft gun was a Echo 1 M28 sniper! Absolute powerhouse! I'm not saying its "the perfect starter gun" but it depends on the players personality. If you have the patience to sit still or wait for a better shot, then go for it!

[@loganruckel8624]

Another "sniper" question! I have a gbb m4 rifle I wanted to pick another one up and put a longer tight bore barrel in it for longer range "sniper minded gameplay" biggest reason for sticking with the gbb m4 is mag compatibility

[@Boberation]

Here's my personal experience with a dmr. I purchased a rifle length ICS TransforM4 for right at $300, we (local airsoft store) then proceeded to install an ics overbore kit, the MA-56 Gearbox F which includes new aluminum parts as well as a thinner cylinder to increase the air capacity and spring ($64). Then installed a ~9in suppressor($20) to just barely fit the 590 barrel($30) in it. I run an 11.1 lipo 30amp and deleted the fuse box due to the fact that the wiring came out on the first game I played with it. Accessories include a lancer tactical 1.5-5x40 sight ($110) and an extendable spring loaded bipod ($20-25). In total $510-520 was spent building a dmr that shoots around 200ft or so at 381-384fps and weighing on the heavier side of 13-15 pounds. In my opinion this was fairly easy and a good rifle to start out with as a dmr if you can stand the weight due to the quality of ICS OEM parts and how little was truly required for this gun to perform well. Although I wouldnt recommend a 590 barrel as 550 is the max that it should be taken to which I shall install soon with the rhop as well as a flat hop.

[@collinherold8047]

Hey Jonathon. This is probably a really dumb question, especially considering I've been playing for over 7 years being both a weekender and sponsored. What exactly is a Hi capa? Are they just blinged and modded 1911? Or Is there more to the magic? I love the show, thanks.

[@NitroTheHusky]

A hicapa is a double stacked 1911. It's based off the STI 2011 platform. It generally has a thicker grip to hold between 25-31 rounds per mag.

[@collinherold8047]

Nitro The Husky is that it? Plus the upgraded internals of course. But is that really it? Does it have any really obvious advantages?

[@LThanhHao232]

more BB than your normal 1911, more gas reserve, also have the highest amount of part and upgrade out there

[@rurintojas]

As everybody else stated above. It is same old 1911, just better internally and externally. Also with plenty available upgrades and it is probably only one gun which can build completely from aftermarket parts. I have AW split slide Hi-Capa(+extended magazines, quite few upgrades), absolute fun to use and is perfect for CQB'S or SpeedCQB where they are mainly used(HPA/Co2/green gas)

[@josiahs9559]

A hi capa is a 1911 that is double stack and compatible with the Tokyo Marui Hi Capa

[@jonasbaker3985]

Do you think that playing in the winter would affect the gun

[@Yomonnowmon]

After about a year of playing I went straight for the sniper role picking up a TM VSR 10 G-Spec, it sucked at first but I knew the potential it had so I saved up money for a Novritsch tuning kit and it payed off big time. Now I'm dominating people from distances they didn't even think they could be hit at and it's so much more satisfying when you land that shot on a person at range. I'm curious though, is it better to buy an upgrade kit, or source the parts individually yourself? It seems a lot of people do this on the VSR 10 owners page on facebook, but it also looks like they run into more issues with compatibility.

[@niksutherland4280]

This was a fantastic video and it really helped me get over a problem I've been having. Well done and thank you so much

[@budgetbassin158]

I know it's about to get old so I'll ask... when you have your aeg and your co2 pistol, what would you to to keep the gas flowing and the electricity going while keeping a high rate of fire ?

[@LifeWorthEditing]

Ethan Vaughan rephrase the question pls

[@budgetbassin158]

does the cold affect my aeg like it does my green gas pistol and how can i find the right amount of green gas when i start playing in the morning and the weather gents warmer and i run my pistol all day in a milsim.

[@josiahs9559]

For an AEG I don't think weather would effect it too much, unless it is super extreme cold. As for a GBB they do not do too well in the cold, just test it out, maybe try several different types of gasses or even C02 or hpa, and if you have too many issues with your pistol in the cold either don't use a pistol, or get an AEP for a sidearm

[@budgetbassin158]

Fleek Geek thanks man. It's going to get cold but I love playing outside. 👍🏻

[@pangsbricks8412]

Hi Jonathan how can you increase the rang without increasing the fps?

[@REPTheAirsofter]

PangsBricks yes a better hop up and bucking will do the trick!

[@pangsbricks8412]

cool I will try it Thanks

[@logantepper3921]

Better hop up unit, Prowin or krytac will do the trick. Better hop up bucking, prometheus, krytac, or my favorite that is in my barrel setup G&G green bucking. And finally a new inner barrel. Prometheus and PDI are the best but also cost the most. Id say go Madbull if your looking for 20-40$ Prometheus for 40-60$. And PDI for 60-100$

[@KingAzaz]

Is this question even better?

[@calebsims6744]

Hey. on the note of smaller games, 6-15 people, what are your favorite game modes to play? Love the vids!

[@easycompanyairsoft2559]

[@Backwards_Y]

Do you think it would be a good idea to turn my CYMA M16A1 sport line rifle would be a good gun to do a DMR build with

[@n7xranger]

I've finally gotten into the support gunner role with a Stoner 96, but am still figuring out how to set up my gear. What type of setups have worked for you?

[@AbeBlinkinGaming]

Hey Jonathan I wear glasses and would like to know what would be the best googles to wear over them? Also what is the best way to keep them from fogging. Thanks.

[@dislikebutton5291]

Zach Hall if you get a dye mask, as of right now they are just about $100 and will fit pretty big glasses. They are super comfortable unlike the masks that you would rent at an arena

[@BackwardObservations]

Does green gas go bad?

[@CollinCF3]

Hey Jonathan, a while back you were asked where it was illegal to remove the orange tip off of an airsoft gun, and you advised asking someone at a local field. However, most of the fields around me are starting to close down for the winter, and I was wondering if you had a list of places where it was illegal to remove the tip. Thanks

[@braxtenfosterfilms2277]

Can you do a magazine video

[@johnp51d]

Hey Jonathan! Do you know if there are any G19 airsoft magazines that are readily available? I really want to buy a G19, but want to avoid the G17 magazine sticking out the grip. Thanks

[@logantepper3921]

Rainbow8.com should have some in stock.

[@dominikwagner7810]

the KJW KJ32C or KJ23 mag should be a perfect fit. those mid-size glocks are all the same in airsoft, while they would have a different caliber for the real pistols.

[@alexanderkopischke8237]

[@davidplaisvk2744]

Johnattan, what is better ??? GBB M4 or AEG M4

[@LifeWorthEditing]

David Cerven if youre a beginner, go with aeg. if you have a lot of money to spend AND have experience, go with the gbb. the gbb is not necessarily better, its all preference. gbbs typically have lower mag capacities, so if you’re a full auto player, aeg will be more your speed. gbbs are for those who want more realism, but be prepared to spend a lot on mags.

[@Sanshirobo]

If you're just starting out, an AEG is the way to go. It's cheaper in every regard and usually supports higher mag capacities. I'd reccomend a GBB only to someone who knows they'd be willing to put in the money and time playing with it to make it worth the purchase.

[@Connor-qn5zq]

Aeg’s may preform better in cooler areas. I would take a aeg over a gbb.

[@collinherold8047]

It depends alot on WHICH AEG or GBB M4. If it's a plain old combat machine or the new predator with the mosfet. Not all AEGs are created equal. That being said, I used to have a GBB SCAR, it was super temperamental but when it worked, it was a blast to use.

[@abelbabel8484]

AEG is much more practical and effective in game.

[@hadesdogs4366]

Agreed the sr25 is an M14 with a 308 magazine so aftermarket parts are easy to come by and upgrades ARE SUPER EASY as well as maintenance, since it’s an up calibered AR15

[@markusholmes585]

howdy but do you think they would ever bring a sks to airsoft i feel like a gbbr sks would be the best whats your take?

[@alec1103]

Hey Jonathan, do you think that blue fox tracker is the future of airsoft?

[@TommiHonkonen]

If I lived at 8848 altitude would it still be free shipping for the patches? And what kinda delivery time we talkin there?

[@kwooook]

hey idk if you know this,but dmr's dont *need* to be a larger caliber. they are most of the time but they do not *need* to be a larger caliber. there are a few armies that use the m16 platform for making their dmr's(israel and a few others,cant remember the others though) the only reasons why bigger caliber's are used more commonly is because of the bullets range and accuracy,but most encounters dont really go past effective range on even a mk12(which is a 5.56 spr,and the line between spr and dmr is very fin,its comes down to barrel length) and from the info i gathered,the mk12 can hit targets with relative ease at 800 yards and reported kills at 1000 yards,the m4 carbine's effective range is 546 yards. the m16's effective point target range is 602 yards the m110 (which is a DMR on 7.62) has a effective point target range of 874 yards. there is no legitimate reason to say that a dmr has to be higher caliber,none,

[@timb7884]

What's your opinion on using a shotgun as a primary?

[@josiahs9559]

I think it is really fun and can be practical. For close quarters shotguns are good, but if your going out past 50-100ft shots will be tough to make

[@abelbabel8484]

It's a challenge, and you'll do worse than with an AEG at the end of the day. But if it's more fun to you personally, go for it! It sure has style :)

[@Xboxplayerpinoy]

you can also give me suggestions for other guns

[@russty360airsoft2]

[@grantsmith444]

Hello John. I was wondering if you would know why my gun will simply stop firing in semi auto. When this happens it requires me to swish to full auto, fire a few bursts and then switch back. Would you know what the cause of this is and how I could fix this. thanks

[@jpruedisueli5232]

Sounds a lot like what would happen to my Lancer Tactical m4. This would occur if I was using an 8.4v battery (which was too weak for the 400fps spring) or if my battery was close to dead. Also, shooting in semi might not fully rotate the gears with each trigger pull. Going to full auto and shooting allows it to complete a rotation so that you can continue firing semi. To fix, definitely make sure you are using a 9.6v and when firing semi auto with a slow trigger response gun, make sure the gears fully rotate before each trigger pull. Hope this helps a little!

[@dominikwagner7810]

This is called "gear jam" and can happen quite often if you shoot really fast in single fire. You could use an 11.1 lipo to get higher fire rate and reduce the time the gun needs between shots, but you can also just shoot a little slower.

[@rcclab5411]

[@drew1427]

Hey what's your opinion on blowback aegs ?

[@josiahs9559]

Personally blowback isn't my thing, it just makes a gun less reliable, it is more stress on the GB, and just another thing to break on your gun.

[@tnpsheepdog3289]

I have a G&G electric blowback, it's held up to about 5 years of playing every other Sunday and some backyard plinking.

[@abelbabel8484]

It's kinda cool, but in my opinion a net negative. It's additional failure modes and additional work when tinkering with the gearbox. I've had a gun in for repair where the blowback mechanism failed, blocked the piston and two gears stripped. I'm not really a fan of EBB.

I think winter is the best time to play airsoft it’s easier IMO to stay warm playing airsoft because gloves plus bdu’s and a shirt under them plus boots and high socks a mask/balaclava plus chest rig it’s easier to stay warm than it is to stay cool I mean I just played this Sunday we had 22 people or so and it was below freezing and on top of that there was 10mph wind but you didn’t even really notice

[@joelhaight4731]

[@notataaplayer2742]

How do you feel about using a lightweight m4 with polymer body and a cyma vsr10 at the same time I’m considering buying a sniper and then use my m4 as a secondary

[@notataaplayer2742]

Ok but do you think it would weigh too much with a sniper and a m4

[@ostmen_draugr]

If you train with them both then weight really wont matter. I run a L96 sniper & Remington 12 gauge on weekend games, 1-1 weight scale but i dont really feel it since I've trained with both guns.

[@CreepyAirsoft]

Coconut Gamer get a good sling system so your guns are not flying around as you run. I think most people avoid the two gun set up because of the inconvenience of that second gun getting in the way. Once you figure out that, you should be good.

[@Sanshirobo]

Coconut Gamer I agree with Auslo. A full sized m4(even with a adjustable or folding stock) would probably add a lot of bulk. If you wan to use m4 mags you already have though, consider picking up something from the ARES Amoeba CC (CCP, CCR, CCC) line. I know a guy who ran a CCC as a compact primary and I could see something from that line working well as a compact secondary.

[@CreepyAirsoft]

Brainexploder has a video about running 2 guns at a time.

[@CollinCF3]

Hey Jonathan, my team is starting to look for radios to use to better coordinate our operations. But honestly, we’re all newbs when it comes to radios. What would you advise as the best radio choice?

[@megasniperairsoft3245]

Hey john what is your opinion on making a homemade parts or rifles for snipers

[@MeerkatMoon]

Is camping and sniping the same thing?

[@SamuraiAkechi]

Speaking of DMRs, what about the reliability troubles of ver.7 Gearboxes? Those rumors were one of the reasons I decided to go with SVD instead of M14.

[@abelbabel8484]

V7s are no less reliable than V2s or V3s in my experience.

[@SamuraiAkechi]

I've just heard that they may crack when you use a spring stronger than 150

[@abelbabel8484]

Yeah, sounds about right. M150 is pretty crazy and puts a lot of stress on any gearbox, going above even that is gonna make it worse still.

[@vitebee]

Jonathan, is there a no-no brand for you in airsoft replicas? Like, you just can't recommend that brand no matter what

[@garretttodd6534]

Hey Jonathan, I’m just getting into airsoft and I’m trying to find a sidearm. What co2 blowback pistols do you recommend?

[@josiahs9559]

I've never used these before, but from other videos I've seen other people recommend the Elite Force 1911 or ASG CZ P09

[@logantepper3921]

Elite Force 1911 is easily the best beginner pistol on the market. Not only will it be perfect for you now, it is even good enough for a veteran player to use and will last you forever if you maintain it properly.

[@venomairsoft830]

Hey Jonathan, tough question here ... For me at least. Should I save up my money and buy a BrainExploder 35mm RunCam with mount, (Love his products) or should I buy a RunCam without the zoom from the lens and just use editing to do the zoom? 35mm zoom one is about 250ish somewhere and the no zoom is 80ish.

[@LifeWorthEditing]

SentientBroom0 editing wont get you the zoom you need. without going too indepth about resolutions and pixel density, you need the lens to zoom your footage.

Jello, oh ok. Thanks.

Hey Jonathan, Thinking of adding a Mosfet are the $100+ ones really worth the extra or would something like a G&P for $25 pretty much do the same job? I don't need anything fancy pants, just the general benefits a Mosfet brings. Also Video recommend - Burntwolf Airsoft. Great little channel. Love the show keep it up!

What are some good brands to buy BBs from

[@Gogohead_jon]

I have the cyma ak74u as well and it is sweet!

[@thepeopleofplaces6846]

What do you recommend for a beginner for a gun. I am thinking DMR but I would rather not a ar-15 style but US or European make.

[@kapowiekapowie865]

ThePeopleOfPlaces get an M4 to start. An AR-15 is a civilian M4, so basically the same minus a couple things and full auto. It's best to get an M4 at first to begin to get into the sport.

[@Sanshirobo]

ThePeopleOfPlaces For non-Russian DMRs some options include the M4 (obvs), M27, M14, and perhaps the SL9.

Hi so I have a g36c but I was wondering if it's ok if you can put a 400 fps spring in a gun that originally shoots 350fps because I feel that it might wear the gun down because of more tension in the gun, but what do you think.

[@abelbabel8484]

Harder spring will always mean accelerated wear and tear, that's just physics. Depends on the condition and quality of your specific gun what that means exactly; what brand G36 do you have?

[@TommyTPOV]

Abel Babel it's a h&k g36c ebb by umarex

[@abelbabel8484]

Should be fine

[@dominikwagner7810]

The original umarex/ares/hk g36's are pretty robust. I have an Ares G36 that shoots 450fps out of the box. One of the best guns I've had, when it comes to accuracy, internal and external parts. I also have a DBoy G36C (basically a copy of the umarex), which is wearing down so much faster. I wouldn't try to get the copy over 400fps, but the originals are easily capable of doing so.

Hey Jonathan, I have a Cz P09, which I love, but I messed up and left a mostly full co2 canister in the mag for a while and was wondering if there was any way I could fix that or am I just gonna have to buy a new one. Thank you, love the show, keep up the good work!!

does a apeing affect a polarstars range

[@OriHelmer]

Hi I’m just starting airsoft and the guns I’m looking at are both by sai/emg any opinions on this company

[@Namijneb]

Interesting advice, I plan on switching to sniper when I start playing outdoors, might have to go the DMR/Sharpshooter route. Nice video as always.

[@kennethh8133]

Hey Jonathan I’ve been playing airsoft for a bit more than a year now with my CA M4. I’m looking at a bolt-action rifle now for around $100-$130 and I’ve found the Lancer Tactical LT28AB, ASG McMillan sportline m40a3 and the Classic Army m24. Which of these 3 would you recommend based on out-of-the-box performance?

[@Kraken-5209]

Hi Jonathan would you compare a lower m4 to a higher end m4? Thanks

[@CreepyAirsoft]

What is your favorite type of grenade?

[@theweirdnessbegins2351]

Hey Johnathan I have a speed loader by Meatal Tac and I can lock the BB pushing rod in but it compresses the spring is it a good idea to store it in that position

[@sensationalfailure]

Hey Jonathan, you act like there are no GBB DMRs. What about the VFC/Umarex HK G28?

[@judahmac1799]

Hey Jonathan. I was wondering if you know how to fix GGB mags that rejects gas or if you have a video on it. Every time I fill up my Tokyo Mauri mags it won't seal properly and it hisses loudly. Thanks.

[@Ak1M1223]

Maccabee Luke 22:36 try to open them. If valves leak just change them. If those rubber things leak just use cylinder lubricant, this thick one made by ultimate

[@Ak1M1223]

If theres a leak between valve and a mag thread use teflon tape

[@andrewhoery348]

Is the wild hog 13.5 keymod rail AEG a good gun?

[@venomairsoft830]

Ok, real question time. I have a situation. I have a A&K M933 short barrel m16, but it does not have a very good response in trigger and battery. My problem is how do I sell it? I am guessing for parts, but I want to sell it at a field or something near by preferably Georgetown Airsoft. I had gotten it from a Evike Mystery box which I think the gun is broken. So should I sell it for parts with the stuff with it but with a decreased price or sell It for the total price it was cost?

[@austonrollings1036]

Hello, I new to the channel and don’t know if you have covered this but which platform do you prefer 1911 or glock or any other pistols?

[@mac10fan09]

How do you feel about players with different play styles? Living in North Carolina almost all the fields around here feel the same and many of the players don't feel very welcoming to casual or "speed" type play.

[@hunterboy1121]

So are you asking if it's okay to not play the same way everyone else is? Just say screw it buy your dye and hicapa and go reck some kids.

[@theforgottenairsoft7634]

Hey Jonathan Can you talk about the fiasco going on with valken right now?, If you don't know what I mean, they are currently listing a speedloader similar to the Odin one but I'm heading a bunch of things such as it's not made by them etc. Can you enlighten us on this?

[@colestrange3069]

At my favorite field, it's fairly small and indoor. A 10 v 10 game is a big game. This allows for different game types. My Favorite being pistol only, seeing as just about everyone has a pistol with the small amount

[@timur5241]

DMR - speed Bolt-action - accuracy

[@CG_Inferno]

Hey Johnathan, I’m getting just getting into airsoft and I’m getting the elite force amoeba AM-013 what are some of the things I need to do to take care of it and mid cap mags along with other AEGs that I’ll get in the future?
