"Use your sights" is a very powerfull concept. Its amasing how few airsoftler truly use their sights.

The 'Use your sights' section got me good. It's still so rare to find people using sights, so when I actually hit first shots in game, people automatically think I'm a wizard.

10/10 video, you should make an “embrace the larp” patch for your store.

So the best advice to people telling gbbr are bad is : "Git gud"

Vortex will always win the optics argument because they will replace it when the glass gets shot out

With regards to Vortex, it's absolutely worth noting that their lifetime warranty explicitly covers damage that happens to the optic if it's used for airsoft.

Babe,wake up,new explosive enterprise video just dropped.

I think a video on going into more detail of zeroing a gas gun would be really beneficial to the newer gas users. Most of which probably never got a true zero on their rifle before when using AEGs.

The key with running a gbbr is persevering with the platform and learning how to run them, just requires patience and knowledge , most people don't have this with gbbrs so just think they are not useful in the field over an aeg. Running a gbbr also pushes you to be a better player, you have to pick shots, conserve ammo but also actually think about your position on the field. For me that's a more enjoyable experience. With aegs , it's almost like they're all pretty much lmgs with the ammo capacity which influences the play style

I don't really play airsoft so idk why I'm watching this video, but just wanted to say THANK YOU for mentioning the astigmatism issue with red dots. When I first bought my Sig Romeo, I thought for quite a while that the blurry dot was just a QC issue until I saw that exact same PewPewTactical article and discovered that I had astigmatism and needed glasses (turns out, things actually aren't supposed to be that blurry, especially at night). I'm guessing that you probably helped hundreds of people who had astigmatism and didn't realize it discover that they needed to see an optometrist. By the way, for anyone reading this who's on the fence about whether they have astigmatism, (1) try using your red dot at a somewhat bright setting indoors and see if you see a starburst or a crisp dot, and if you have a starburst, try rotating the optic around and see if the star's edges rotate or stay in one place (if they rotate, it might be the dot, if they don't it's likely astigmatism); (2) if you have an AR-style backup iron sight (i.e., a peep sight) that's cowitnessed, try looking through the rear sight at the optic and see if the starburst/blur gets better, if so, likely astigmatism (also, if you do have astigmatism, this is a good practical fix if you don't have your corrective lenses on and need to make a more precise shot; if you have an optic that's not just a dot (i.e., with an ACSS or other ballistic reticle), this is a good way to actually be able to see the reticle clearly for a long-range shot). However, if you think you might have astigmatism, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to an optometrist ASAP and investing in glasses or contacts, you won't believe how much of a difference they can make, even if you think your vision is pretty good. For me, my eyesight only needed a slight correction (0.25 in one eye, 0.5 in the other) + astigmatism fix, yet the difference with and without glasses was incredible-especially at night. Turns out, you're supposed to be able to read street signs from a pretty long distance away, and not when you're just about to cross them, and traffic lights aren't supposed to look like starbursts at night.

"I'm just some nerd cosplaying armyman on the internet" - THANK YOU for not acting like all the other "badass lone wolf warrior spartans" who think they're tough shit just because they wear tacticool cameo dad-jorts to some BB field in Wisconsin.

I feel like you should mention that its pretty much required to get the speed loader with the reinforced metal ring, ones without it can split against the typically more stubborn feed lips of GBBR mags

That zeroing guide is superb. I had a really rough time in the beginning of tinkering with GBBs, and smth like that would've massively helped. The whole team does a great job!

Instead of a dump pouch, get a gas mask bag. They look good, have a shoulder strap, and can carry more than a dump pouch.

Great humour, great info. I’m not even an airsofter, but great media transcends hobbies

The leave an angry comment and link a gun bro larping on the flat range sent me rolling 😂😂

my tip is to only fire if you know for certain that you can hit them in 4 bbs or less(unless your goal is to suppress of course) this is what allows me to only carry 150-180 bbs for my rifle during 8-hour milsims (with reloads between spawns)

I am a real gun guy and got lured into this video by the lovely XM177. What a nice finish for an airsoft. Looks like so much fun! great vid

The one american airsoft channel that has class ☕️

I don't even play airsoft and just watched this entire video

I just wanna thank you for making this video. It single handedly got me into GBBRs. I even had someone print a couple of your Madbull propane caps. Thank you for inspiring me and getting me started with a good knowledgable leg up on everything and for making your print files public.

Excellently done. Made the jump straight into gas specifically for the realism with a TM MTR-16. Love in the realism and the advantages you point out.

Good video. I used to use AEG in the UK where it's cold. I emigrated to Hong Kong permanently in 2017. On my UK gas pistol I aimed carefully as green gas was expensive at $17 for a can. Here in HK it's cheap at $3USD per can so I went full gas. I'm still a careful shooter except in a push. The problem with ammunition exists still though. (2 long pistol, 4 regular high capa magazines). In that there's cheaters and with an AEG you can simply 'classic airsoft them' into calling their hit with a storm of BBs. Yesterday's Sunday game there were three cheaters. I expended a whole gas magazine going after his fingers he still didn't call it. End of the game his hands looked like they'd been stung by wasps. Similarly the HPA kid encountered another one and put well over 50 into him before he called it.

Really good quality video 👍 I just bought a Kc 02 because I got peer pressured into the world of GBBRs so I’ll be taking this advice with gratitude

Everything is so in-depth yet easily explained... Great video !

An incredible amount of advice and information!! I haven't airsofted in years but this makes me want to get back into it. TY SO MUCH

got myself a old real Eotech 552 for 300€, after my Mp7 gbb killed 2 clones. Best decision i've ever made in airsoft. It's just so nice.

12:30 THANK YOU. I figured this out a couple years ago and it's amazing how no one talks about it. It just so happened I was wearing my glasses that correct this and the image because oddly clear like magic when I figured it out lol

I just stumbled onto your channel and it really makes me want to invest into more GBBRs....love your videos.

Fantastic video! the info and pacing kept me interested. keep up with content like this and you will surely gain a lot of subscribers.

And today i just learned something new about my beloved GBB guns. Thanks a lot, i have some adjustments to make to my small arsenal. 🙂

Between robbing banks you helped me make my GBBR better. Thanks, Neil McCauley!

Well i just learnt that i have astigmatism through that graph you showed, thank you kind sir

I seriously enjoy your content - I have 5 GBBRs and enjoy playing airsoft with them compared to AEGs where it’s just spray and pray. Much better realistic play style. Keep up the good work guys 🎉

I was watching this video out of pure boredom waiting for my friend to load Helldivers 2, and the fact that the red dot on my HK VP9 starbursts cuz of my astigmatism is something I did NOT expect to learn from an airsoft video. Thank you for the random nugget of knowledge!

Loving the retro AR play!

Feel you on the hopup crap shoot. Even found that there is absolutely a bed in period for certain buckings; the difference it makes is minimal for some but drastic for others. Taken to just keeping a random supply of buckings and nubs to try in stuff to see what that replica likes. Anyone who tells you a certain bucking is the defacto best is... well a typical airsofter.

Love the retro guns and that flat range joke was solid lmao

This was one hell of a way to find out you can have astigmatism and 2020 vision. I took pride in being the only one of my parents and siblings with perfect vision, too. That "welcome to the club" hit personal 😅

I use a mag adapter for mine and they work great. Using Aeg mags makes it so much better

Best airsoft channel on KZfaq

Little speed loader tip, M4 gbbr mags can be filled super easy with the pistol loader adapter, , just tilt the speed loader slightly up and the bbs will feed smoothly into mags. This does depend on how still your magazine springs are but this method work better than any custom adapter on my TM MWS mags and Guns Modify P mags.

another fantastic video, good stuff mate

To add to the sights, Primary Arms has an extensive line of real steel-capable sights and lifetime warranty. Highly recommend for airsoft and your budget.

Sharing my experience here as a novice GBB user, I own a WE Tech XM177 that I bought after reading and watching videos on it, huge selling point to me was the amount of compatible and available aftermarket parts, so far I have 4 mags, 2x 30rd and 2x 20rd, I'll most likely buy 1 more each to have 6 total alongside the recommended speedloader mentioned here. I don't get to play alot (once or twice a month) because the grounds are also used by firemen and law enforcement for training purposes. I know that WE's are a lower end GBB brand, but considering the compatibility of it with alot of aftermarket parts and affordability, I don't regret buying it. Planning on buying the KWA Mk.23 SOCOM and TM LAM as my secondary!

you had me saying "NOO WAYYYY" when u showed u have the same propane adapter that i do and so happen to have the one thing (the cover) i questioned myself before even watching this if i ran it in a game (havent played much) if it would break and welp thank you 😁

I used to run a variety of gbbrs when i lived in florida (removed the worry of winder and batteries getting rained out), but to date my favorite setup was a VFC URGI 14.5, used .32s, and a 60$ comp4 cloned optic. 4x 30rd mags was enough to get me through most of the matches since I could easily land any shots within 150ft with 1 or 2 tries.

Flapped pouches are highly underrated. If you are gonna be on your belly at any point, you will be greatfull that you have those flapped pouches. This was a fantastic video and content.

Having a Mig 21 to use as cover on an airsoft field is cool af

I love this channel.

90% of this information can and should be applied to any other platform. Fantastic video!👍

MTW user here: getting a decent red dot makes that fun ever more wicked. The clapped out guns used by the folks at my local field are no match for my superior aiming abilities. Also, gas guns are fun. I need to buy one again. I shouldn’t have sold the one I had.

I consider this a “certified classic” now. Ive seen this video too many times. 😂

Comrade quiche products are the best and he's been awesome to deal with!

While not the best RDS, the VISM SPD is a decent choice for budget minded players. It also has a solar panel on top that will allow for nearly unlimited play while outdoors, some users of the sight tape off some of the solar panel because it becomes too bright. I've found these sights for around $80 to $100 in the states. Also, another excellent video!

Great Video, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Extra tips: smokes, use of dead ground and all those good battle drills ;)

I've never done airsoft in my life but I use a SIG Romeo MSR on my 5.56 chambered AR, it's an excellent red dot with the elevated rail and dust covers and you really wont get any better for the price. Accurate enough to ding 8 inch plates consistently at 100 yards, so it really comes down to how accurate your gas gun is

One more pro i would like to add is trigger response, most stock aegs take forever to fire compared to gbb. I love running pistol only at indoor fields.

I have a GBB MP9 that I love the one thing that a GBB does is can cause fear especially in indoor fields. the sound alone is enough

Finally, a good video to eat to

Good video, I run no sights but I think you have talked me into trying a red dot again.

I have a Sig Romeo MSR. It works pretty good and has nutty battery life. If it works so nicely on my 9mm carbine, it's probably solid for bbs.

This video is really helpful thank you

Great tips on different optics. The Sig Romeo 5 looks pretty slick, might have to get one. Unfortunately all the prices are basically doubled here in Finland ':D

hey thats my design in the description. crazy!

Astigmatism is pretty much seeing double with one eye. I have it but the glasses did most of it.

Channels like yours should have an option of automatically giving a like if you are subscribed. Great work mate.

Every red dot is going to have parallax when you're looking at a table surface that's 6 inches in front of the optic.

What eye-pro you rocking? Love the retro look! Great video, wanted to get back into airsoft and really want to run a GBB Gordy inspired rifle.

Even though I'm an AEG user and not a GBB user, I found myself spamming a LOT less when I switched to 0.36g and zero'd my Holosun with an incredible hop setup. I used to go through 4+ 150rd midcaps during a 20-30 minute infinite life pickup game, now I go through like 2 mags. Also the price difference going above 0.32g means I'm saving a fair amount of money.

Don't know anything about airsoft, just stumbled in drunkenly and was glad to see Americans shoot with something other than firearms. Too bad we don't have simulated bar fights with plastic knives here in Finland. Cheers!

Woah, Catgut! Blast from the past. FPAir for life 🤙

Damn my aim is _so_ bad and I'm a broke boi so even as an AEG user I'm carrying around multiple speed loaders. My one and only full GBB loadout is PP-2000 + Glock 18C which I only have one standard size mag each for. I've mastered the art of quickly finding cover to reload and being sneaky to get kills with limited ammo by being at close range in unexpected areas to mitigate my piss poor aim. Tbh for sights, quite a few airsoft grade ones are "good enough". I have a decent collection of $20-40 sights and they are all at least a decent improvement over irons.

Watching the video not knowing what field he plays. Sees the Polish Mig-21, :O Don't know if you are local to 757 but im always glad to see the local field.

The coolest m4 on the block

What I usually do is get an hpa adaptor and use midcaps or lowcaps, a lot less gas mags to worry about filling or leaking, can probably comes out cheaper than buying 5 gas mags here in Canada. Not the most milsim set up but it's a lot less headache. Only downside is that only WE GHK KC02 and MWS have adaptors, VFC have a dual coupled mag with a 300rd hi cap. Maybe the Tapp GHK adaptors can be modified to fit in other WA spec guns but I didnt have the balls to do it 😂

LET'S GOOOOOO, HE IS BACK

Vector is quite the sweatshop firearm optic company

Jet again I am sitting here, loading shells for the gameday tomorrow. Damn, I could get used to this.

Honestly i really enjoy using cheaper AEGs and doing them up, but i got my grubby mitts on a GBB a friend let me use for a while, theyre so nice....

Found out I have astigmatism after buying Vortex Crossfire red dot but somehow the reticle on cheap Eotech clone still looks fine for me, no idea why. Also larger MOA dot looks much better for me, e.g. Holy Warrior RMR with something like 6 MOA dot compared to smaller MOA dots.

Also, when you're working on aiming figure out which eye is your dominant eye. I dunno how common or uncommon it is, but some people are cross eye dominant. This means that your dominant eye (what your brain uses for your main vision) is on the opposite side as your dominant hand. Me for example am right handed, but my LEFT eye is my dominant eye. This means I either have to shoot lefty, close my left eye when aiming, or focus hard on what I am aiming at and using my right eye. There are ways to train your eye to work harder when aiming but they take dedication and I haven't seen any real evidence of how long it lasts or how much it actually does.

i just noticed you were playing at pevs, nice thats the main field i go to

Great video

great video as usual, keep up the good work. i got into airsoft because of video games, and for the most part the guns have realistic rounds in the mag aswell so i dont mind having a lower round count in airsoft. while it is a disadvantage against AEG users with more ammo in two mags than my complete loadout, i enjoy the challenge of trying to outsmart or outskill my opponent. also to me its more satisfying to hit accurate shots with my limitations than spamming a few rounds in the enemies direction hoping one would hit, not worrying about my ammo situation. i do have AEGs too, bout half my arsenal is, but i would have less if their GBB counterparts werent so expensive, never in stock or exist at all lol. would trade all my AEGs for a GBB VSS...

Unrelated but the fact that airsoft field just has a mig-21 at 4:34 is pretty neat

For optics, I've found that the Aimpoint CompM4 (aka M68 CCO) is perfect, though the price is way too high to justify it (my experience was with an issued one). The Sig Romeo7 is a fantastic clone that costs 5-6x less at just under $200. It's a bit bigger and heavier than a micro dot like the Romeo5, but oh man does it make a world of difference. Also great for GWOT larping if that's your thing.

Quick suggestion: Firefield makes great real steel optics that are very budget friendly. I use the XL for my SCAR-L GBB and it has held zero for about 10 games.

Personally I’d recommend the pinty sight used it for a while and I don’t have any complaints got it on Amazon for $20

I have Astigmatism, and I really like my Holywarrior XPS3 clone. It's kinda of steep at £150, but I have no blurring issues as I do with the cheap £25 opting I was using before

I love you… I mean your videos!!!… Ahh, who am I kidding… I love you and your videos!!!

As an aeg player I am going to use some of this

I have a romeo 5 on a real akm in 762x39 and its fantastic, only about $100 new.

USE G&G SPEEDLOADER with their adapter, they are perfect size for ghk mag even with DH cnc feed lip, they are small and easy to carry, by far the easiest to reload with and they are strong, never broke been using them since they ship it out with their gun

GBB ammo capacity is not much a problem in Taiwan. Because in most of the airsoft game,if you got hit, you are out from this game So many times i found i can't even empty all the mags on my plate carrier (only 4 mags)after a day. Most of my bbs are being wasted on zeroing target

You guys should make a video on your viper tech service rifle

When you said you were going through 7 mags in 15 minutes, the only thing I could think of was "well then hit your damn shots."

Good job.

To some it’s dumb but those stick reloads are the fastest to get to reload you just need to integrate them to 30-40bbs and lock that push bit firm, they’re slim ik where they won’t get in the way
