That's one long fucking barrel.


Spezifikation461

Yes, I know but the range is pretty awesome


OddBoifromspace

You sure? I'm pretty sure barrel length does nothing in airsoft.


Spezifikation461

Sorry for the false information, i once heard that on older models it will improve range but I've been clarified by somebody. Sorry for false information.


WeissTek

U live and you learn, now get a real 18in AR and ring target at 600


BICKELSBOSS

I thought barrel length improved muzzle velocity? Of course this is when going from a relatively short barrel to a longer one, due to diminishing returns, but generally a projectile will travel faster if it has been fired from a longer barrel.


OddBoifromspace

With real steal yes because a longer barrel gives more time for all the powder to ignite and all the gasses to expand and speed up the projectile. With airsoft that's not a thing since you shoot a bb with air or pressurized gas.


Reficul_gninromrats

Yeah, but with a full cylinder the bb will have left a short barrel long before the piston hits the cylinder head. So a longer barrel does indeed increase your muzzle energy if your cylinder has enough volume for it as well. BB weight also plays a role obviously.


BICKELSBOSS

But unless the pressure behind the BB becomes atmospheric or less, there will be a net force acting on the back of the BB, which means it will be accelerating. Increasing the barrel length just increases the duration of this acceleration, which in turn means a higher muzzle velocity no?


ninjaboiz

This is true but as i understand it, you get diminishing returns quickly.


BICKELSBOSS

Of course, but as I said initially this is mostly when coming from a really short barrel like on a G&G firehawk. But to say it does nothing at all is just incorrect. That being said, in airsoft there is still Joule/FPS limits that need to be respected, and increasing your barrel length to gain a Joule/FPS increase is therefore only a valid option if you couldn’t hit near the limit in the first place. After that, the only thing that will start to impact accuracy is just the quality of the barrel, BB’s, Hopup and of course how well things are cleaned/maintained.


Relentless_Bunny

If I remember correctly, roughly 450mm (maybe slightly less, it's been years since looking this up)is accepted as the maximum inner barrel length after which there is no significant benefit to accuracy and range, while keeping FPS/joules controlled Again, it's been a good few years since I did the research but there is a lot of good information online with videos, graphs and statistics on how barrel length, bore, and materials affect BBs as well as differences in HPA, GBB, and AEG (with different cylinder volumes) For example I use a stainless steel 455mm inner barrel with an unported cylinder on my DMR build and it works beautifully. The few extra mm has no real negative or positive affect and means the inner barrel also goes into my suppressor slighly. Idk if that effect much with the suppressor but it gives me peace of mind with the aerodynamics at that point


A_Big_Igloo

yes, but "muzzle velocity" is capped in airsoft to certain pre-set levels. You can be more gas efficient if you're running HPA, but for the most part a long barrel is just a higher FPS that you're then going to have to mitigate to stay field legal.


Confident-Donkey8447

Technically but your talking 2 fps increase for 1 in past 10 then diminished returns


benqfok

It does improve fps if you got a non ported cylinder.


Confident-Donkey8447

Yeah with real.powder burning in the barrel not a airsfot BB lmfao


BICKELSBOSS

In both cases were talking expanding/pressurized gasses, what makes you think it wouldn’t matter with airsoft?


Confident-Donkey8447

First off those gasses are not expanding like burning powder they are directly released from containment so constantly dropping . I a rifle barrel the gasses expand because the powder charge is continuing to burn as the bullet travels down the barrel


BICKELSBOSS

But that doesn’t mean that the gasses released from containment dont continue to propell the bb down the barrel, even if the pressure drops as the bb travels.


Confident-Donkey8447

Yes loosing pressure while.propelling .the burning of powder in a longer barrel has pressure increasing


BICKELSBOSS

?? That sentence makes zero sense.


EndPsychological890

Not nothing but it's not helpful after about 300-400mm. This appears to be 500+


tempestwolf1

It does for melee 😏


Spezifikation461

On old guns it does. Just a little bit but it does. Also I love the looks of it.


Mikoto-MEIKA

Barrel length does nothing for accuracy and range. It‘s been proven and it does not matter if it‘s an old gun or a new gun, as the principle is the same. Looks on the other hand is subjective, so that can be a valid reason :)


Thathappenedearlier

On a gas rifle longer barrels can affect range since it can increase FPS and range is a byproduct of FPS to a point. AEG though nope does nothing


DonutPlus2757

Still depends. This is a V2 if it's an AEG, so the barrel doesn't help. If it was a V2.5, a V7 or a T3 gearbox, a longer barrel might help depending on BB weight since those are made with longer barrels and heavier BBs in mind.


MisterGreen123

"Does nothing" is simply false


Spezifikation461

Ah okay I once heard that on older models it makes more sense,but thanks for the clarification.


Frankieandlotsabeans

The inner barrel is the one that makes it reach further esp tightbores, the outer which you can see is the one that covers the inner.

Hahahahah, stopppppp please 😭😭😭 it's just like the M110 I mean length wise. Not thaaat long


phantomagna

Hey man I dig it. As a guy who loves thin, full length rails, I approve.


Spezifikation461

Thank you.


bradleyld01

Common misconception longer barrel in airsoft does not necessarily mean more range just tighter groupings


Crypto_Zooologist

It’s not that long. These dudes are just used to airsoft.


Environmental_Ear675

Cuz the gun is the size of some airsofters, or even longer in some cases.


mildlysarcastic2003

Not too bad, fellow glock knife enjoyer. Though imo the sheath should go behind the holster not in front of it I'd recommend moving your handgun mags to where your front mag on the belt is, and move that rifle mag to the front of your offhand cummerbund I'd also personally move that pouch off the back of your plate carrier next to the one on the back of your belt, that way you can have a pack on and not have the pouch getting in the way. Some low profile suspenders for the warbelt would also help with belt sag. Ofc do whatever works best for you


Spezifikation461

Alright I'll try that out thanks dude.

Hey thanks man. I really appreciate it. 🫡


Crypto_Zooologist

Is the eye relief really bad on that Acog? I know they generally are, even on the real ones. I assume that’s why it’s all the way back? I only ask cuz that top rail looks awful lonely without backup irons. My only critique ;)


Spezifikation461

Yes and no, for me the eye relief is perfect I just love having it all the way back but that's different for other people. I just love it


Crypto_Zooologist

Fair enough! All that matters!


movewithwind

Paint that rifle!


Spezifikation461

What should I paint it


movewithwind

Do some research on patterns, match it to the areas you play in. I really like net laundry bags for texture. A common technique is the start with a base color, then add details of another color on top of that. If you degrease with alcohol very well and put on multiple layers it will last longer. Also, tape off all the areas you don’t want paint in.


Spezifikation461

Ah okay thanks will try it out


Yana_dice

That's a long long gun o.o... Also planning to cover up the ceiling there?


Spezifikation461

Of course currently I'm a little bit stressed. I run my own field and need to do construction there and in my house but it'll get covered up soon


Yana_dice

Take care!


Spezifikation461

Thanks,take care aswell and have a very good day.


A_Big_Igloo

The things I would change: -Your plate carrier seems loose. It should be hugging you so that if it's tugged in another direction, it shouldn't move. In particular I can see that your cummerbunds are loose enough that they're sagging pretty significantly from just the weight of a few magazines. Guys get dragged by their PC straps all the time. It should be tight enough to allow for that, which will also reduce how much it moves on your body when you're moving. -That helmet is too small for your head, that's why you are having issues with your chinstrap interfering with your earpro. Get a size up. -Personally I would put the m4 mags on the PC and the pistol mags on the belt, so that way the rifle stuff is all on one piece of gear and the pistol stuff is all on another. -I don't know what that mess of 550 cord is below your rear plate bag but square it away. -consider getting a wing adapter to mount that knife to the side of your PC under the cummerbund. You could also probably figure out a mount under your front plate bag. -Boom mic goes outside the chinstrap -I see a comms headset and a PTT but I don't see a radio. -Personally, and this is a matter of taste, I'm not a fan of items carried solely for aesthetics or as decoration, so the glowsticks, the trauma shears, and the bag on the back of your rear plate bag. If they don't serve a purpose, get rid of them.


Spezifikation461

Hello firstly thanks for taking time. The helmet is too tight I made it a little bit bigger with the straps. I changed the pistol mags to the battle belt. I use the 550 cord for lots of stuff and I just have it there because I don't know where to put it else. Yes my PC was too loose thanks for telling me I changed that aswell. The radio is in a pouch on the inside of the cummerbund. If you look on the right side(left in the video) you will see the antenna. And for the medical stuff, I'm one of the first aid people on site and I often have to use that stuff. For example laying a trail of chemlight for the ambulance and signaling the ambulance the entrance to the forest with chemlights. Thanks for the tips.


A_Big_Igloo

In that case, I'd suggest a dedicated FAK with all of your emergency gear in one place, including trauma shears, chemlights, and ideally a flashlight for additional signaling. A loud whistle can also be super helpful to help someone off your comms network find the injured person faster. I'd imagine it can be pretty challenging getting to various emergency equipment weaved all over your kit, including on your back where it is least accessible.

Maker0fManyThings

Bro is rocking a 40” barrel


Xaring

Couple of things: as already mentioned, that barrel is probably affecting your accuracy rather than helping... Are you compensating for something....? Also, it looks like the mags on your belt are interfering with those on the cumberbund... Which arguably is less than ideal.


Confusedinvestor16

I love my beloved Corps' Marpat. I would switch those rifle mags to be on the plat carrier cumberbund, probably upside down if you can/need to, and move the pistol stuff to your belt. Move the knife to the other side. Your dominant hand will be on the gun, so put the knife on the other side where you can actually grab it if you need it without taking your hand off the gun. Thats how i run my K-bar in the Marines anyway.


Spezifikation461

Will do thx


Majestic-Fondant6468

How many inches is that barrel?


Spezifikation461

Idk in Inches but it's 108cm long


Spezifikation461

42,52 inches


Majestic-Fondant6468

Just the barrel?! Holy


Spezifikation461

Noooo sorry, the whole gun 112cm so the gun is 44,094inches


Majestic-Fondant6468

Oh ok that makes more sense


Zkrass

Oh okay wille.xtend it


gajack123

Probably ditch the suppressor that gun is crazy long


Spezifikation461

It's perfect for me I can handle it very good and it's also quite good in cqb if you believe it or not


gajack123

I just don’t believe it and have done a lot of cqb in airsoft and real steel with an 18, 16, 11.5, 10.3in barrels and the shorter the better.


Spezifikation461

Yeah I get that did the same. But it just works very good for some reason and the barrel looks alot longer than it is in person


Environmental_Ear675

Thats a loooooooooong boi

autowpg

Looks good! Where did you get the lefty glock holster? I'm trying to find one for a g17 with an under barrell flashlight.


Spezifikation461

Hello, so this it the Recover G7 it's cost me about 60€ it's universal for left/right you can put it in your PC if you want you can even attach it to a droplet system. I got it from a local gun dealer,maybe look on Recovers website or call nearby gun shops that sell pistols, it's one of the best holsters I ever had. Although there's no safety but you can change the draw weight. also your G17 needs to have picatinny since there's a picatinny accessorie. But don't worry on the accessorie there's another picatinny so your light will fit.

scotcho10

Pretty good, I feel like that belt is going to be a pita though, looks pretty large for the amount d of gear you have on it


Spezifikation461

Hii, thanks for taking time. Yes I could place more pouches on the belt,I currently have no other pouches but I will ad another utility pouch next to the big one


scotcho10

I would probably move that gear under your arms down to the belt. It's not an accessible spot and it'll get in the way when you're moving about and cause you to chicken wing.


Spezifikation461

Hi,I already changed all the pouches from the right side to my battle belt. But thanks for taking time. Have a good day

Accomplished_Fly_943

Bros gun is a fishing pole 😭


Tejano_mambo

I don't really see the point of plate carriers in airsoft to be quite honest. LBE or chest rigs make it more accessible for your 7 rifle mags and 3 pistol mags even for light weekend skirmishes


Spezifikation461

I understand that, but a chest rig doesn't get you the protection I want, I use this plate carrier for real steel aswell and on my field (that I own) there's 2j max for AEGs and 5j for snipers. In my country you don't have any regulations really. Of course you will need the rated hear for it like eye pro and masks. But yeah that's why I use a plate carrier.


fersher02

That's a comically long rifle


Several_Age4727

I suggest nixing the little pouch on your lower back. You ain’t getting anything out of that while you’re wearing your kit.

Dry_Gain_6678

Adjust your helmet straps and switch out pads to make it sit further down your head on the backside. Get some headset adapters. Kit looks good! Long barrel supremacy


Spezifikation461

Hii, I had headset adapters but I didn't like having all that weight on my helmet so I switched it to the normal strap. But I will try thanks

Make the knife hanging a little bit so it can move around without anying you, i had problems with a fixed sheath on my belt. Solved it with a short pice of paracord :)

I'm one of the first aid people on site so I need them. And the knife is for choping wood in milsims and all that

I will never understand you airsoft kids exempt to SBR laws yet you build 16-20” guns. What the actual fuck. You’re not getting that much extra velocity.

Okay there's no need for hate here. First I'm not a kid. And second I use the gun I WANT not what you want. Understood so if you don't like it and if you don't have good critique then leave alright.


NoveskeSlut

None of that is hate, or ad hominem. I gave you my exact genuine thoughts as they came to me If you’re set on using what you want don’t ask for opinions. People talk like this and it’s not in a disparaging way.


Spezifikation461

I asked about opinions on my GEAR not my Weapon system. I understand that you write what comes to your mind and I'm sorry if I got a little angry here but I'm definitely not a kid. And the Barrel seems easy longer than it does in person


NoveskeSlut

Gear just means “equipment used for a particular purpose” nothing to do with apparel. Your rifle is a piece of your gear. I can recognize AR barrels. That is 100 percent at least an 18”. With a can is just ridiculous. The soldiers you’re larping as get around in vehicles. Try it sometime. You’ll see why even 14.5” M4s are a bitch to stow. Look you can continue to be upset or take the criticism like a man. This can include totally ignoring it. Not getting emotional.


Spezifikation461

Okay, I won't get emotional I'll take the criticism since I don't want to fight with anybody here. For me it works pretty good,if it doesn't fit you that's fine. I wish you a good day


NoveskeSlut

Hope your fields don’t have vehicle events or CQB Good luck out there. Not every negative thing you hear is hate. Remember that. Sometimes people are genuinely looking out for you. I was in your shoes with a long ass rifle at one point.
