General Off-Topic Discussion / Airsoft tank.
« on: November 01, 2013, 11:06:50 PM »
Hey guys, I made myself a little airsoft tank and thought I'd share a few build photos. To inspire or not,  as the case may be.

This thing is made from, found and scavenged parts, mostly.  It is based, loosely, on a WWll Tiger Tank.

The tracks started life as 2 snowmobiles. I made some frames and connected them together.







Then I used a 6 speed trans-axle and a 11hp engine out of a ridding lawn mower. Connected with a torque converter off a old go-kart. the brakes are off a 4 wheeler. This photo only shows one brake. I added another once I stole...I mean "found " another one.
 



I then ran chains to sprockets at the front of the tracks.



And that bring us to this ...............





The ultimate assault vehicle...... :o

Ok...thats all for tonight. Stay tuned............. 8)

Airsoft Items WANTED / WTB Mp5 / Mp7
« on: November 24, 2012, 08:26:37 PM »
I'm looking for a gun for my 12 year old boy. He wants a Mp5 or mp7. Something around 300 fps and extra mags are a plus. Mostly looking for an older name brand gun that works or needs a  little work, scratches and banged up ok. He'll just drop it anyway. Also you need to be willing to ship.

Thanks.

Hey guys. I have 2 G&G M4's that I need to get some magazines for. Mostly looking for mid caps but I could also use a high cap or two.

The kicker is I live in northern Az. so I would need them shipped. I can pay with paypal.

Thanks.

General Airsoft Discussion / M1A1 Abrams

I posted a little about our airsoft tank awhile back.

We have made a few modifications since then.

I got the main gun to shoot Nerf footballs.

I added a vortex machine gun.

We took it out and tried  some milsim with it but it didn't work out too well. The players were mostly younger kids 13 yr or less and all they want to do is run and gun, which is understandable. I guess I need more mature players. Also it appears that we really need 2 tanks, if for nothing else some tank on tank battle. So we have started on a Tiger tank based on snowmobile tracks. I don't expect it to look as accurate as the Abrams but I'd like to finish it before my son gets to old to use it.

Here is a video we shot on the 4th of july. My son shot the video and it's a little shaky.

General Airsoft Discussion / Grenade launcher Questions....
« on: December 09, 2011, 12:38:29 PM »
Hey Guys,

I got my son a grenade launcher for his m14 for x-mas and was wondereing if I should stick with the more expensive grenades (dboys) of if the cheaper $15-$20 work just as well.

 Do you guys find that a grenade launcher is effective in a game or just cool to have ?

 How many grenades would be a good starting point ?

Thanks for the input !!

General Airsoft Discussion / Machine gun
« on: September 29, 2011, 07:10:06 PM »
I don't know if showing how to make a gun is allowed. I didn't see anything in the rules.

Anyway...........I got this link off another forum. I made this thing and it is very cool. Sounds like a Mini gun.

uses lots of air but still cool. I had to modify the plans a little because this one uses steel BBs. Once I'm finished with the outside of the gun I'll post some pics and video. If I don't get banned first ;D

Hey guys,

Over the last year I made a airsoft tank. It is patterned after a M1A1 Abrams.

At our local Memorial day parade. We live in north east Az. This was in Show Low.



Loaded up for the parade.........

So do you guys have any suggestions for a scenario that would include a tank ? We are kind of new to the airsoft world. I haven't seen many airsoft tanks like I've seen in paintball. There a reason for that ?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
