Gear Overview

New gear and Press loadout

I got a few new bits an pieces. Most importantly is the compression group. I suspect the issue with the AK and the Aug is lack of compression. I have a fixed cylinder, piston and piston head. If all goes well it should get the AK back into working order. Secondarily, and just for fun

Not bad for a fiver

Cyma CM041G – New Gun!

This will likely be the last new gun I will be getting for a while. I got it from Taiwangun.com for around €230 and with a pair of dual pane goggles (which apparently reduce the temperature differential to avoid fog), some mags and pouches all in all came to about €300. So yeah, hopefully this

Finally New(ish) Boots

This is the first time I have gotten boots online. A good pair of hiking boots is always something I have made sure to have. To be honest, I don’t know how anyone in Ireland gets on without waterproof shoes. Anyhow, these came a little bigger than is preferable. Without any gaming, I’ve been breaking

Loadout Shuffle

I have been thinking about how to incorporate the shotgun into my loadout. The same ethos applies in the sense that I need to be able to run and have a good range of movement. The first idea was another weaponlink but that means another sling also. I happened to have an old pistol holster

Cheapo Camera

I have been wanting to take pictures mid-game for the blog. However, I a not willing to put in any serious money into it. I thought I would have a crack at one of those cheap little action cameras that I have seen on Ebay. At €20.71 I am not expecting anything special but if

Let’s Talk About Pants

This is something I was going to discuss in my post about my last session in Simtac. There was enough for a separate post. I have some decent boots. Folding the trouserlegs inside the boot allows you to move through much more sludge and water without your trousers getting wet and the water climbing by

Another look at the WeaponLink

Ok first things first I have got to tighten the bolt. It did not come loose during the game but I did have to tighten it once or twice throughout the day. As you can see it got a used look. It still seems functional though. I am curious if it has to wear in.

WeaponLink Finishing

I am keen to try the WeaponLink in the field. I am going to have to finish attaching it to the Cyma AK. As I mentioned in the previous post, I could only use one of the existing screws for the rail. I will have to drill a hole in the body of the AK.

Weapon Link Retention Mount

I will likely have a lot to say about this going forward. One of the things that has hindered me is the AK flapping about when I’m running. The weight is fine. In theory at least, if the side of the AK is attached to my belt it should stay in place. That’s where the

Out with the old and in with the new

I have decided to start writing some of this down. I think that I have been doing airsoft now for about 2 years. I am getting more into the game and have serious notions that there may be some beneficial effects from Airsoft in terms of mental health. And physical health I suppose. General Loadout:
