Well guys I am kind of sad to say this.......

But I am thinking about going to the other side of the airsoft community. Rather than using one round to take a person out. I am looking at using 20+ rounds to take a person out.

The group that I usually run with is in dire need of a heavy weapons man. I am working on a buddies M249 right now, re lubing, wiring, and some basic mods. I am working to get her right at around 23-25 bps, at around 400 fps. And of course I am going to use what I know about our rifles, to make one heck of an accurate 249.

Now I am still planning on keeping a boltie on me at all times as well. Because you never know what the game will call for at that time.

The main reason why I am moving, is that for the few large games that we go to, IE travel 9+ hours, the squads don't move, and they just get bogged down. So I am stepping up and going to be running in a QRF team. So basically I am going to be in the group that helps the little guys out. And we are also acting as a RECON squad as well. So the sniper will be strapped to my pack.

So this by no means, means that I am leaving the sniper side of things. I am just going to do it as more of a heavy gunner/sniper

Don't go to the dark side Woogie!

I am also sort of running support for my squad right now, so I know how much fun it can be.

Oh I wont be there for good. I will always have the rifle with me.

I am looking at trying to max out the hop for this thing and try to make it more of a SAW-DMR

The stealth of a sniper and the brutal bluntness of a support gunner all rolled into one. Sounds interesting...

If it wasn't for Mateba's Asahi M60 I would say that was impossible, but having seen his, good luck.
LOL ...... Oh you will see it buddy ;) don't you worry about that


Going to have her up and going by our first game.

Might be time to invest in a thick vest and a second pair of BDU bottoms :(
Be careful tweaking a '249 hop up too much. They're really finicky and if improperly adjusted cause back pressure into the gearbox, stripping at least the piston, and potentially the gears.
Its sad to see you going to the heavy gunner role but hey, you gotta be what your team needs you to be. Good luck getting the gun up and running.
No sweat Woogie I flip back and forth all the time. Some days I want to sit and wait or stalk my prey the others I want to giggle like a school girl with her first crush as I unload on them...

Probably will be giggling like a girl at the next event since I have my beloved Betty Lou (KA FAL Para Carbine) back up and running.
Yeah I hear ya...


I don't plan to push the gearbox to much. Just mainly going to work on the feed system and the hopup right now.

But man is that gearbox easy as pie to work on!
Well our team has a really good sniper. I mean really good. And Ive come into the sniping game in the last three months. But one thing our team doesnt have is a support gunner. So yea, me too. Im looking at a 249 para before june this year as well.

Does that mean I wont snipe? Nope! Does it mean I wont be on here? Nope ! Does it mean I wont be building and useing my ASR or 96 ? Nope for sure it does not mean that.

What it means is that I will be a more versitile player able to fill more roles as my squad need them. Thus making me more valuable to the team as a whole.

And it means I get to get more toys !! LoL, always a plus.

So have fun man. Have fun !
You could always do what our local store did and take a saw and make it shoot 600+ fps at 30+ rps.


P.S. 800th Post! Woot!

There is no need for that!

Heck I am planning on keeping the rate of fire right where it is. And the FPS probably in the same area as well. I may do some things to the internals, like the rewire. But nothing to much.

I am right now in the process of "sop moding" the saw..... IE.... taking everything off of it that isn't needed to fire. So this thing is going on a diet!

The only time they actually play with that are on the no limits games.
