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

107 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!

Where can I sell High-end, airsoft replica?

507 Upvotes

Hello fellas.

Today i have a bit of problem.

I Got heavilly tuned, almost brand New airsoft replica I want to sell as soon as possible. I posted it on my local (polish) fb groups and trading platforms, but still have a problem with finding a buyer, beacause in Poland there is very few people that could be interested in such expensive airsoft stuff.

My question is: do you maybe know some fb groups that are designed for selling pro airsoft gear? Or maybe can you send me a link to your local airsoft communities where i could sell it? I will be very gratefull for all your ideas! Best regards.

Didn't get any grenade kills lately, and was itching to use them. The field allows dummy nades. they count in a 3m radius around impact, if there is no cover,

PURCHASE ADVICE I'm looking to get either the AK-12K FE by Arcturus or the AK-74M3 E-Platinum by E&L. Which one is better?

They are both in the same price range, but I am leaning towards the Arcturus with the programmable ETU. I have heard that the Gate Mosfet is the best on the market but I'm not bothered really if there isn't a noticeable difference in performance. If someone has worked on one or both of these replicas your advice would mean a lot.

GENERAL QUESTION Whats the weirdest way you’ve seen a gun break? Intentional or otherwise.

45 Upvotes

For me, it was before my field had balanced out one of the maps and one side could just be brutally spawn camped. We were getting just sprayed down and couldn't go anywhere. One dude got super pissed and threw his gun on the ground, breaking it in half. (Upper came off of lower) and you could see the gearbox sticking out.

I also slipped and fell later that day, and ended up cracking my hopup because of that.

What is going on with youtube and airsoft

31 Upvotes

The views are just so low for every single airsoft youtube channel except for giants like Silo and Alfonse. Seems like youtube is killing airsoft content on purpose. (For example Valiant dropped from an average of 100k views to 20-30 while his contect didn't drop off in quality)

Got this off Facebook marketplace, how did I do?

Was browsing my local fb marketplace when I saw a guy getting rid of his collection for $300, I’m not super knowledgeable but it seemed like a pretty good deal, figured I’d cop bc I’ve always had my eye on the scorpion evo and I’ve been wanting to get back into airsoft. Also came with a bunch of assorted gear like clothes, generic chest rigs, a few holsters, radios, though I might not keep all the gear / pistols since I don’t have much need. Just wondering what yall thought since I imagine there’s some more knowledgeable people here than me!

I went for an smp-ish kind of stuff, patches are in french and they say " private security ". After researches online I came to learn that actual SMPs will refrain from using camp patterned clothes so I did the same and only wore plain shirt and pants.
