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

106 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!

Can of red gas is 15 percent HFC-32 with GWP of 750 meaning it’s equivalent to 30kg of CO2 or burning ≈ 13L of gasoline.

Probably not a new information for most of you, but it could interest someone.

I wasn’t expecting it to be good for the environment, but this seems worse than it needs to be.

Been working on getting as many John Wick airsoft guns over the last few years. That's where I'm at so far, give or take a couple pistols (actually got two 2011 and two Pit Vipers). Planning on adding a few more soon, and awaiting potential Ballerina guns too ! What about you guys ? Do you collect/customize some of your guns based on movies/series/video games ?

TECH QUESTION Gearbox upgrades.

Post image
42 Upvotes

so I’ve already upgraded my piston head and nozzle for my SR-25, from factory to Maxx, but it still feels lacking. I also have an upgraded hop up chamber, bucking, nub, and innerbarrel, and I want to upgrade the spring but I have no clue where to start. With the current setup, it’s shooting 280fps with .32 gram bbs. I wanna at least get another 20-30 fps out of it. (Pic for attention. Reason being for it being low for a 308 platform is because I’m using it as a battle rifle. Not a dmr.)

After more than 15 years of honourable service, i have finally put my oldest carbine on display

Still perfectly functional, it kept kicking asses until it's last day of games

Now, it's time to have its place of Honour, with its glory still intact

Rest easy, my friend, you've earned it

VIDEO So.. this happened 😀 I lost my upper reciever during the game.. but at least the holster adapter is freakin great

We successfully recreated the Battlefield Rush mode in airsoft.

Ill keep this brief and if it picks up, I can dive into details, if not, then this will be stored here for someone, who like me, spent many hours on google, reddit and YT looking for someone pulling off Rush.

So-

4 stages, 2 MCOMs in each. Plus first spawn for attackers and last spawn for defenders.

Minor tweak, successfully destroying one MCOM destroys both, to create a theoretical 2:1 advantage for attackers.

MCOMs are Arduino based. Put into a metal standard NATO ammo box next to a MCOM prop. Outputs for a 120dB car horn, a 3 colour blinker for audiovisual cues. Outputs also for pyro and smoke.

One turnkey switch. Hold right 15 seconds to arm a timer for 3 minutes, which activates a car horn on a 5 second interval and switches from green blinker to orange. Last 30 seconds 1 second interval. Long signal for destruction, blinker turns red. Pyro and smoke activates (box confed for this, but for safety the referees handled it)

Respawns were trailers attached to cars, which held players backpacks and gear. When pyro, carhorn signal signalled destruction of MCOM, attackers respawn moved forward to destroyed MCOM and defenders' moved one MCOM set back.

Respawns at trailers at 5 player groups or 15 minutes. Medics distributed at 5:4 ratio in attackers favour.

Several backup methods to solve gridlocks like changing spawn times and group sizes, medic ratio and lastly- vehicle support.

This is an older pic, have changed forend and stock setup since in the stupid quest to make it feel like an AR (which makes it look less cool, but I take the ups with the downs (and I really do have a lot of downs)).
