Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

I see a lot of people, especially speedsofters/cqb players using their middle finger on the trigger. Is that actually faster than using your index?

I used to use that technique when playing Time Crisis in the arcades, it does work. But funnily enough  I havent tried it at airsoft, I guess as I pick my targets and dont spam the trigger.

Lol, Another one trying to redefine the definition of "new" in order to justify a high price, in that alleged hour of gameplay it might have had 5000 bbs through it ffs.

its also something worth questioning as to why he's selling it after only an hours use.

now granted the ppsh isn't exactly the worlds most ergonomic gun and maybe he just doesn't like the feel of it, but why not specifically say that's why he's selling?

To grift a profit on it, it seems.  £280 including postage (plus whatever PayPal fees he slaps on the top) for something that can be had for under £180 delivered from bbguns4less (with 7% 'secret' discount), if they had it in stock.

Which they don't, so he does have a fair point.  It's a case of how much you want one, and where else you could get it.

Cheeky fecker listing it as new though.  Sites shouldn't even allow this.  "Didn't work last time I used or" or "Worked last time I used it" should be the categories.

 
Oh dear.... above retail (albeit with a handful of cheapo accessories) on some mediocre guns.

It's actually sad when folk list as a bundle, as though they're likely to find a buyer for them.  OK, in this case he's also listed individual prices, but it's still a poor way to get sales.

And yes, those look like retail prices.

Oh, look, all "brand new in box yet to be used".

What, even the 416 with a Gate Aster fitted? ?

Ooh, two broken mags, and for only full retail price!

Gun can be bought for £115 new from patrol base so that better be an expensive scope 

 
That's like the best multi-cam MTP I've seen on a gun... You gotta admit it kinda looks good... ?

Although I have had a double shot or two of whiskey...

So he joined the forum about two weeks ago, and his only post is this shite advert?

I feel we should have a minimum post count before being able to advertise

and if they just post up random crap to get to the minimum number, the posts get deleted
(I’ve had a bad day at work and am a tad grumpy ✌️)

 
That's far from the worst paint job I've seen.  The issue is that people pay for gnus to be customised to their specification.  He's expecting someone to pay for his enjoyment.

This is the key thing, the quality of the paint job isnt the issue.

For example i quite like the sigs, and that rifle in its original colours, maybe olive furniture, would be quite nice to me.

But that paint job, again, to me, is just something that would need stripped before i'd want to use it.

I suppose we're all guilty of it to some degree, i know i have guns that are very niche.

That's exactly why I'd probably never sell any of my main guns. They've all been built from parts or boneyard guns and have had hundreds pumped into building them exactly how I want them but I know if it came to selling them, they wouldn't sell for more than £300
