Hitman....you don't really....wear those ear cups do you?

Those aren't ear cups, those are individual testicle protectors. Yes, Hitman's balls are that enormous.

lol Nope. Just for show, they're Peltors.

RacingManiac....you don't really....use those bullets in your gun do you?

Nice avatar hitman.

Yeah she's hot. As hot as my gun.
Breasts the size of my balls, right Conscript? ;)

no....or else it wouldn't be airsoft...

dummy rounds sold by Scarecrow of the BB Bastard, makes for great prop when shooting pics.....

I think you missed the pun...

LOL!
Damn, so serious!

hahahah...hahaha.....haha......what?

Thanks to iLLusion Airsoft for high quality parts.

Looks good HitMan...
you know what I like the best about it?
That you USE it!

BTW why do you 4.3 mags?
I've found that I really prefer the length of 5.1 mags for reloading.

Well I got the gun with 4.3 mags. Ugh, but since in Canada, we're limited to 10 rds, so high capacity doesn't matter. Also I so want 5.1 mags, but I got the gun with 4 4.3 mags. lol

Aye!

Please tell me you didn't you a hand-drill for that!!

At the very least you should have used a drillpress and lubrication :(

Nice gun though... That comp still can be saved... You just need some one with a mill :)

LOL Yeah, I did know someone who had one, but bleh. It's fine.
Thanks.

That Limcat looks REALLY nice, Andrew

LOL I knew I saw that coming. :(

Well, she's not as blingtastic as you guys' Capas, but here is my WE M92L purchased from Caliber Research (Conscript), please pardon the crappy quality:

Can't wait to see her perform at CAPS.

I'd suggest finding a way of direct mounting the optics to the mount... see if you can remove the rail mounts and directly bolt the optics in to the optics base. If you can shave down the rail to get closer, that would be even better.

You'd get a solid 10mm closer to the bore. Acquiring a sight picture would feel much more natural and your shot accuracy won't vary as much between short and long distance shooting.

I know, I cannot wait! the sight isn't mine it's on loan from Ancorp so I can practice using a rds, I plan on getting one of those small, low profile RDS one's that you guys use ;)

DUDE! you know what you gotta do? keep the long barrel, but switch back to the standard length slide, and put a comp on it, to make this:

http://www.imfdb.org/images/1/1c/Tybaltgun.jpg

That's a Taurus PT-99, different gun.

What's your budget?
It takes time to get used to shooting with optics.

I don't know if you have a rig yet or not? Maybe you can spend money on a rig and then an optic.

But, the high end ones are C-mores and Doctor sights which are 300$ and over.

Mine was some China crap that costed 40$ because I wanted a special Circle lens.. It's fine, but it busted and springs went everywhere.. I managed to fix it, and made it a fixed sight with no adjustments. I zero'd and fix. Glue gun did the job, little screws and crap kept getting loose..

Doctersights are damn near impossible to get nowadays. Something about Germany restricting export to the US now. I've seen some floating around, but they were selling for well over $550CAD.

You definitely do need a proper holster to carry any pistol with optics. You won't be allowed to use the pistol in a CAPS or Action Air event without a locking holster.

Holy smokes!
Hmm you have one don't you? *Profit..Cha ching..*

C-more is not that bad...~$250 can get you one probably....the adjustment from using ironsight to optic for me wasn't that bad, it definitely helps more when you are transitioning from target to target....

Hmm, more practice for me than.
The last practice at ttac, I couldn't find my dot. LOL

so? the taurus is a beretta clone. the gun an still be turned into that

Might be the sight height difference....

Yep.

Has anyone thought of using the Aimpoint Micro? I think it'd be quite good for a CAPS setup.

http://www.aimpoint.com/cache/ttf/0e...c0ee97671d.jpg

Still fucking pricey though.

that was what I was thinking when I first found her, I actually have a regular lengthe upper, but for some reason I CANNOT get the outer barrel out of it!

I am probably gonna get the same rig you have Lanny, the one from Huang I think it is, I know she won't fit in a regular holster, I have a M92f serpa on the way that I will use with the regular barrel/slide for the stats match if I don't get one by then.

I actually like the rds I have on it right now, I don't have to hold the gun so high as she's quite heavy lol ironic I know :D

It's not bad, it looks small in pictures, but when you see it in person, you'd be like, what the hell? That's huge!

I was thinking of that to place on my gun, but I still don't know.

I think if you use one of those you need to fit a really low fitting optic rail mount...though I've never tried a tube type optic on a pistol, they seem they sit much higher than C-more and the like....

How low do you want to go?

http://www.sviguns.com/photo_gallery/122.jpg http://www.sviguns.com/photo_gallery/123.jpg

*evil grin*

WTF? That's like some custom ring mounted onto the slide itself?
If that's airsoft, I don't think it would blow back as much. lol

It's real steel. The slide has a rail machined in to the top.

If you want an airsoft replica.... it can be done. lol

I'd bet an airsoft version would have great difficulty cycling...lol

Seems kinda odd though, have a big piece of glass shuffling back and forth like that....

Though a slide and barrel set with the short hybrid port minus the optic mount would look pretty hot...hmmm...

but how does it stay zeroed in with all that movement?

If you have a solid mount and NOT some cheap China replica RDS, then it's not much of an issue. I have slide mounted optics as well.

http://www.pbase.com/illusive_airsof...1/original.jpg

Zero'd all the time and quality if you buy the real one. ;) lol

hmmm good to know, time to save up!

Slide mounted RDS do loose their zero on real guns - very much...that why not many people do that. I think if you wanted a low slide mount, a step up like the one Illusion posted would be best. Though as Illusion said. Docters are expensive and difficult to find. But you could always use a few other similar designs. http://www.opticsplanet.net/red-dot-scopes.html

I still like the looks of the tube style RDSs.
There is a Replica AimPoint Micro btw
http://www.rsov.com/index.php?target...roduct_id=3012

Sauk Kirsch (a top class GM IPSC shooter) uses a AP Micro.

http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/eac-323-h...ndp-mount.html

Doesn't look bad at all.

damn you hicapa owners, you guys get all the kool accessories!

You can be like Norrie and have your Beretta stock. I think his is stock. lol

Not anymore... he's been bugging me to get a rear sight located RDS mount... LOL.

Here's mine again, BUT I made some custom marks on my frame. ;)
ENLARGE TO SEE DETAILS

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...ture009-12.jpg
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...ture008-11.jpg

What in the world did you do to it?

Well the dremel went out of control and did some weird things, and I used this pink stone thingy. LOLLLLLLLL
It's okay, it's 1 of a kind.

I have a polishing stone that can probably restore the smoothness of your frame

lol thanks, but it's okay.
Stock TM frame is made of shit metal. :p
I'd have to keep polishing it everytime or else it would turn yellow.

HAHAHA...Lanny, you're going to wear that frame out....not by shooting it but by messing with it continually...

And then he'll have to come to me to buy a new one... pwuahahaha

I raped her up good. :D

ohhhh boy... that's a hack job.

Rather than a random scuff job,
why don't you try adding a texture
pattern like on STI/SV grips that
have been burned with worm
patterns?

You could use your dremmel to
make stipple dents...

Or simply sand and repaint the
frame and pretend this botchery
never happened :)

Eeeeeek that looks bad.

Here is my wife's gun, It was mine but she fell in love with it so I have to build another one. (Inspired by Illusion's hi-capa)

Glad to see Mr.Hitman is still at it with his unique guns;)

But they perform excellent. ;)

your mags certainly don't

oooooooo SNAP!

It's mainly the gun that performs good, but one of my mags are fags. LOL

But I fixed the problem ever since I got the dremel.

Watch for the next match and steel challenge. :D

I beat most the people on my hitlist.. MadMax is next, he's fast. :(

I dished hout hundreds just to bring down these people in CAPS. LOL

But hey, this is just talks, we'll see when we shoot. :D Muahahhaha! (Devil Emoticon Insert Here)

.... And you call me lil jon.. Pfff

"Meh".

Steel challenge is a bit overrated, especially since we shouldn't be doing it every time (in my opinion). Sure it focuses on speed and accuracy, but there isn't any other technique involved with it like different shooting stances, target placement etc.

It's said that a course of fire should only be done once so that the shooter can't study the course itself. We've done steel challenge so many times, even though we change the positioning of the targets, its still the same thing.

You can have your steel challenge hitman, but so far i've still placed higher than you in each scored match, so I guess i should be on your hitlist too.

I'm gonna end this here, since this thread should be about Photo's, not performance.


Thats a mighty fine pistol man, was this the one you were having problems with before? and what are your plans for the next one?

wow the trash talk....heh...

That Infinity looks interesting, is the whole top side of the slide milled down?

edit: nevermind, I think its the box....lol

Gold Member
I couldn't stop thinking about modding my next Hicapa for CAPS but I am sad that this one is hard to find, says on the Freedom Art site only 50 were made, garggh its all gone everywhere.... its definitely different than most designs. Unless someone knows a good metallic gold paint I can use :P

http://www.gun-freedom-art.com/hi45custum/acb2toneg.jpg

Dirty Harry
This one is always goddamn sold out too. I really like the front end its not too boxy, yum yum

http://www.gun-freedom-art.com/hi45custum/hi45aqg1.jpg

Dude, the second one is what I use on my capa. I think i got the last one that WGC had lol
And the first one, Alan has that one in silver i believe.

Damn, some rare Freedom Art frames huh..

LOL! The moment is still fresh in my mind, i got a couple convo's on MSN with all the same link to his 'mag test' lol....:D

I thought yours was the 4.3 version?

Crapola...

That gold one is no longer manufactured :(

I am guessing Freedom Art is probably coming out with some new stuff I hope

Nope, Alan has the 4.3, I've got full length 5.1


They slowly come out with stuff, i know they made some new monstrosity when the Xtreme came out.

How much are the FA's frame in country anyway? I am wondering if it might be better just get ProG4 to make one.....;)

its about 300 landed, but not much selection to it. I wish mine didnt have the bevel cut at the bottom, just straight and blockly.

ichimaru gin - very nice, clean pistol you have there.
Did you polish the frame yourself?

I think most of the Freedom Art kits look a little wacky.
I think they are confused. They are different breed maybe. "Raceticool".
But they are cool considerering, they are the cheapest way to get a long frame, comp set up.
And the fact that they have inner barrel holders in the comp makes it that much better.
I just can't stand the rails. Does anyone need a racegun with a torch or a laser?
Or an extended length tactical gun with a compensator?

Hmm..... yes?

lol.

It's why I stopped using them as well. Prior to ProG4 and even Shooters Design releasing their frames, I had strictly used Freedom Arts frames for a couple of years.

Thanks Sir the4thpower3 and Yes, I polished it myself. I didnt mean to do that though. It was an accident that happened to my frame that made me polished it. I wanted to paint the gun black and did some powder coating. The result was one hell of a wack off, so I ended up polishing it and the result was quite satisfying for me.

Just got into the race gun world but I was wondering I noticed quite a lot of you guys have a longer chasis does that improve on anything?

Might make the gun's balance shift further toward the nozzle, which helps on stablizing the gun on blowback. And it looks cool....:D

Actually I don't have any LDC gun....though I do have longer comp and serves the same purpose and hides the innerbarrel...

Like RM said, more balance on the gun to stabalize blowback, compensator hides longer inner barrel. The freedom art compensators also secure the inner barrel in place, allowing for better accuracy.

longer inner barrel, better accuracy and distance, counter the blowback, personally it makes the gun a bit more balanced during rapid shots

Personally, I find the differences to be minimal, at best, especially if the chassis is made of aluminum. You'll gain at most... what... 25grams at the muzzle? Although, when combined with other parts, it will help with balancing the weight over the trigger for better muzzle control. The stock Marui Hi-Capa has all the weight in the grip, because of the magazine which makes the muzzle really easy to point and move quickly due to the lack of weight up there, but it will also experience higher muzzle flip.

Steel bull barrels and a longer chassis will balance it up towards the front, which is better for practical shooting.

But like I said, the performance difference is minimal. The real reason for doing it? Because it looks bad ass.

'nuff said.


On the flip side, the reason why you don't really see that style for tactical / combat pistols is because they are harder to holster due to the large muzzle face. It's not a problem with race holsters, but if you're dealing with any type of wrap around duty holster, it may be an issue when trying to squeeze that block cut slide/frame in to many duty holsters.

Here's what I'm competing with for the CAPS Match on April 17th...

I need help with taking good pictures...(cough, cough...Illusion!)

Did you use that M4 before at FTF?

I remember hearing your voice asking if I was dead yet then another shot on my middle finger, hurt like a bitch.

I know there are no optics for the rifles for the next match, but are we allowing open guns for pistol?

The 4.3 looks sweet, needs that tape for the grip though...:D

Nope...that was a different rifle...aside from the FAL, I build a new rifle for each game...or at least it's turning out that way unintentionally. :rolleyes:

Hey! Tys and I now have pointy muzzle brakes. Show it at CAPS match.

Grip tape migrated it's way to my field gun...:( I wish I had more.

I just got another pack of those grip tapes.... 5 tapes. Let me know if you're interested in a set. I think I only needed one or two from the set.
