Airsoft Investments: Spare Change or Life Savings?

[azsarge]

$20,000 to $30,000

That's 10k unaccounted for?  

About your reviews, I have a few questions.  You mention you dislike the Systema Helicals.  I have Systema Helical Torque-Ups installed in my M4, and they have performed flawlessly for about 2 years now.  What do you dislike about them?

In the grip section, yoiu mention you like the Knight's Armament and Ergo grips.  Did you have them modified to hold a motor, or are you speaking in reference to firearms use?

In the laser section, you mention that you dislike the G&P PEQ, while others listed are working lasers like the OTAL, Beamshot, and green laser.  Do you dislike it simply because it's not real?

Something seems a bit out of sorts here, so I will get my popcorn ready in anticipation of your response.

I didn't  understand the your ambiguous medium of "$10K unaccounted for?" Please elaborate...

Didn't like the Helical high torque gears for the rate of fire I was looking for, perhaps I was asking too much with a M160 spring and the gear box sound.  

I modified the Ergo grip ($20) after buying the Ergo airsoft version for $40.

Like the A.R.M.S. throw levers for RIS. (note: I often buy real steel components because of quality and easy trade value)

The G&P PEQ4 laser, the body is made of a cheap metal that cracks easily and the pigtail tape remote is unreliable. The remote tape failed the first day and the body started to chip and crack (where the lever is located) after a few uses


 Most lasers available to the public are class 3, 630-680 nm anyway; therefore, the laser itself isn't the issue but the electronics, body, wiring is. I mentioned the G&P aimpoint knock off as being good for the money. I also mentioned that I didn't care for them Aimpoint ML2...my opinion is objective and is not determined because if the components are "real or not"  After all, this is airsoft.

Your entitled to your opinion and I respect you for that.

I can under stand spending more then usual now that you point out that you like to use real parts instead of repo.  

Personaly i dont envy ayone just because they have real gear, if you can afford it good for you.

Affordabillity is not what motivates desire. Eveyone has their own cieling of what they want or desire to spend...its all relative...

You must mean the PAQ4, which is a visible laser, has a momentary switch and a pigtail.  It is not, however, made of metal.  Perhaps we are talking about 2 different things here.

(note: I often buy real steel components because of quality and resale value)

As we all do.  Some stuff just isn't available for airsoft, so we buy the real deal.

With regards to your "Knights Armament throw levers", I wasn't aware A.R.M.S. gave up their patent to their foremost competitor.  

I'm sure this is just a waste of time, but maybe you'd like to post a few pictures of your *quite extensive* arsenal.  You seem to have some quite rare items, indeed!

Do you by any chance have any Military or LE experience?

The composite escapes me...the only way I can describe it is that its like cement and metal...got it, its a cheap magnesium--definitely not plastic.

It's called "plastic". :lol:

Id like to see $20,000 worth of gear, it would surely disprove my doubt.

I stand corrected....A.R.M.S

No

Shoot me off an email and I'll reply with pics

This will be my last post, thank you for your time and criticism, its getting a little too hot in here...." I forgot to put my blinders on when I entered the room"

[Long Trang]

Why dont you just post them for everyone to see.  Makes it easier for you to, instead of having to send multiple emails.

Kid, do you really think I collect airsoft guns and share my posts to impress you? Think again.....

Aww, you're leaving already?  We never got to see your massive array of gats, and we never got to tell you that you're full of sh*t!

Forget blinders!  Next time you come here and throw us all that BS, bring a shovel to dig yourself out.

[Firehead]

LeftforDead, no need to become anal, and leave. He just wants to see your massive arsenal of overpriced toy guns  :lol:. I find it kinda hard to believe you have 20,000 in guns and gear. That is ALOT of crap, and i mean alot. Especially since none of it will see real combat. Hopefully you will attend LC4, maybe we can see it in person.
