Best & Worst Airsoft Gear - NSRT Ep.154 

Never too Old For Airsoft. I am 62 and still going strong over 12 years playing.

For the "how old is too old" question. I started just last summer at 58 years old.

Will evike ever open up a location on the east coast? Do they have the money to do that?

When will there be an Evike store on the east coast?

How old is two old Dam is that old man frank?.. OMG he’s using his oxygen as a jet pack. Woah! grandma patty is using her wheelchair as a technical

Why isn’t era based games common? The thought of doing western and ww2 seems a lot more interesting to replay battles in history

Worst Airsoft PRODUCT is any of the Metal Mesh "Eye Protection." Worst Airsoft REPRODUCTION? Man, I dunno. Maybe anything that sells as 1913 Standard, but isn't?

"whats the deal with airline food?"

Any advice for an avid player of many years and machinist of 20+ getting a product he has in mind, to market? I own a small shop with a cnc mill and looking to get into American airsoft manufacturing? Love the show and keep up the great work!!!

Question: For someone who's wanting to get into Milsim. Which 'brand' offers the best 'transition' for difficulty. I remember MSW being touted as being the roughest of the rough. And Blacksheep used to be easier comparatively before their disbanding. Also for guns that I want to see in the future, I'd buy up a GALIL ACE in a heartbeat should a good one comes out.

All I want is Marui to make an NGRS "totally legit and licensed" MDR in OD and black

How do you get more people into airsoft when the fields are far away, my friends and I have built many obstacles and towers for airsoft and we would love to have more people play but cant get more people

If I have an m4a1 can i make the magazine release left handed without buying a new gun or new lower?

Ive noticed US airsoft is riddled with drama whereas EU isnt, was over in America on deployment and played some with mates, may have just been unlucky but ran into a dude that kicked off because a kid didnt call his hit even though he had only just realised he had been hit. People were over shooting a bit more I noticed too and were getting proper heated, happens in EU but from my mates over in the states seems to happen a lot less over here

They start talking about gear at 25:08

To comment about the young players... I watch WAG and that guy is great around the young players. I try to be similar as to help the sport / activity stay positive for them, I mean it's honestly larping at it's core🤭

In Denmark we have to be 18 to start airsoft, I love it im 27 my self.

What’s your thoughts on loud music playing during games? Personally don’t like playing with music in the background.

I love bullpups, I run 2 AUGs (a used Snow Wolf A2 commando and an officially licenced AUG A3 with metal gear box) an L-86A2 LSW ( the ICS version not the Aries lemon) and an FN P-90 that I recently purchased some cosmetic upgrades for from you guys

False.. The best airsoft gear is just super baggy clothes and maybe a face mask

There's a severe lack of honesty in Canada, especially with players from Quebec... They steal gear, cheat, etc.

Will we see a “What Would Stoner Do rifle” come to Airsoft?

evike store in the midwest would be dope ngl and cheap too

When can we expect MP5 GBB to come to Evike?

Bullpup ergonomics are just wrong, the only ones that get it right are the groza style rifles

The worst knock off gear is literally any copy of an LA assault vest and even worse the cross draw versions... I mean the real on brand ones are the worst anyway... but the knockoffs... it’s dead technology and poorly made. And they cause Rona

Why is Krytac held on such a pedastal? I recently Got back into the sport about a year ago. The guns that I used to play with 10 years ago were very different then the ones I see now. Everything online with my price range pointed me towards Krytac. I ended up going with the trident mark 2 SPR. I love it and it just works but it seems that people always think that their krytac is better than any gun. Where does the reputation come from and how far does it go before it is just someone wanting to claim being an elitist? I also got my wife the krytac pdw because she is so small, I run the vector for cqb and I got my brother the CRB

Worst knock off is the Valkens copy of the Odin speedloader! I received one during a raffle when they were tossing them out to the crowd. Tried it a few times and it broke🤷🏻‍♂️ Thankfully I own the real thing!

I have a GBB pistol that takes c02 and green gas mags. I've been using c02 due to cold weather. Would switching to green gas only in warmer months decrease wear n tear enough to make it worth switching or should I just use c02 only?

most honest players I was gonna say EAST COAST. NY is a pretty good answer

The Odin knockoff from Valken suuuucked. I used it three times before a gear broke on the inside. Just got the legit EMG one and it’s way smoother

I’m so sad everywhere is out of stock with the Glock 19x 😭

What about the UAR bullpup that Evike sells? I have it and it uses M4 mags. I like it a lot and reloads are easy and the gun handles and shoots great too

I have an emerson JPC in multicam arid. Its real CP material and it looks amazing

Did you guys ever get tired of playing airsoft?

Regarding bullpups.... if I could find a manufacturer to make a reliable and good version of my real steel IWI X95 (13” SBR) WITH a quick change spring system so I could easily adapt it for indoor and outdoor games.... I’d be over the moon! Until then, I’ve built my current CQB rig around my Q Sugar Weasel because upgrades are readily available and it’s an incredibly affordable system to repair if anything ever goes wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️ On the big boys range though I must say, I’m obsessed with my 300 blackout X95, thing is incredible, don’t knock bullpups til you try em! (Well I suppose a real one on a proper range if you have the time, apparently all the airsoft ones suck lol 😂)

Q: for both! Was the AA12 overhyped? thinking of one 1:You forgot APS UAR takes m4 mags, and its simple looking 2: america is more liberal for airsoft VS europe. we have more fields yes thats a good point. 3: in airsoft they thinkg its a man sport and we are welcoming i think. Best knockoff my reddot simple cheap (10€) and the have lasted alot! Worst knockoff... there was a company making cytac holster... fell apart in 1st game when slaming the glock inside it xD

When is the airsoft six12 coming out

Why is most MILSIM located on the west and midwest regions? it just seems that the east coast is comparatively lacking big time.

About the Warzone thing. It kinda has already been done. Mr Beast had a RU-vidr (and some streamers) battle royal like 1-2 years ago that was sponsored by apex legends, as well as Lancer Tactical and Airsoft Megastore (or something like that) for the weapons and ammo. In it, they used balloons for lives where if all three on someone were popped, then that person was out. There were weapons all around the place and they had officials and caution tape to shrink the border/play-zone. Obviously that’s a lot harder to recreate, but I could definitely see a group of friends doing it on their own or a few airsoft places that used only their rentals and maybe having special events occasionally of battle royals.

In my opinion as far as airsoft goes, I feel like the p90 is probably the easiest to reload with out of the bulbups

The main reason between airsoft in the US and EU is also the laws.. you arent allowed to use lasers in most countrys... germany doesnt even allow flashlights or guns that can shoot full auto of they are above 0.5 joule. The US has more fields. You can litterlay play in your garden.. dont even think about that in 99% of EU countries.

What brand makes the FatGuy friendly vest or Rigs ?

I recently got a drone for somewhat work purpose, but got myself wondering... What do you guys think of using drone as part of the game? Other than video filming, host can keep track of the game in a wider view / angle, maybe other objective base work with it? (Other than shooting it down)

so i want to start airsoft so bad but live in SA and its not as popular and airsoft equipment are quite expensive and not that accessible, damn i wish it could have been😭😕

Hi I love all of your products at evike so thx a lot and this was a real cool video

Missed the PDR-C by PTS Magpul it ran m4 mags was and is best in class

I have seen a 70 year old play airsoft and he was pretty good apon that he dished out a lot of money.

NY player here. I’ve never had a run in with a cheater or someone who isn’t honest 💯

I'm as an german player have to say that we have very few fields. Our citysadministraitions(dont know how its called) dont realy like guns at all and realy need to be convinced to allow a new field. There are very strikt rules, for example, no bb must leave the field. That means it has to be walled off or you need doubble the absolut range of the strongest allowed weapon of distans between border of the playing field to the border of the property, wich than has to be fenced. Ist like 250m. There are so much regulations, but all these difficultys bring the comunity together. Semi only by law exept under 0.5jouls is not so bad, exept you want to use an LMG.😅

Can yall do a kli baba yoga hi capa revwie and what yall do and do not like about it

I know this video is 7 months old I just started watching all your videos couple months ago I am 42 I grew up playing Guns in the woods my whole childhood and I am going to start playing and my first gun still don't know yet but it will most likely be from you guys

Idk why, but I lost it when Matt said "ham sammich"

Am I the only one thinking that airsoft grenades are overpowered ? They are effortless to use, no skill required, allow you to hit players around the corner without exposing yourself, hit multiple players at the same time without any way to protect yourself from it, and it is too expensive for most players so only the "richest" can use it.

What’s up guys! What is your opinion on airsoft gameplay videos? What makes a gameplay video either good or bad? And what do you think the future of airsoft gameplay videos might be?

What if : i buy a few acres of land in chernobyl and build my dream house with a garden but outside the garden i build a airsoft field , it would be amazing if the radiation is away . And in my homecountry the netherlands you need to be 18 , but i am 15

Are you guys going to do another airsoft? camp up by big bear it was super fun and I have not seen anything that tells me evike is still doing airsoft camp.

Will you get the UA rhop barrels back in stock soon? Thanks!

A bit disappointed. I was waiting for "Best & Worst Airsoft Gear" you guys should totally do an entire hour on it.

Certain brands have a bad wrap, if I talk to an evike rep about upgrading an EMG falkor they say it can be done but if you go to a comment section or even another airsoft podcast everyone will say the APS gearbox isn’t worth the time and will mess up, you guys don’t run APS guns so is it just that the guns you like aren’t by APS ? Please shed some unbiased light on this if possible ( valley river arms, airsoft gi and custom Canadian shops continue to rant on APS ) do I ditch my falkor for a g&p or E&l so I can look like everyone else ?

What do you think is the best aeg under 400$ and it's under 6.50 pounds?

What determines what gets imported/introduced into evike's inventory?

Hey Matt, I was wondering if I could ship my gun bought from evike back to evike to get upgraded parts bought from evike.com. (I hope that made sense)

Im 69 and just starting lol

Here is something fun, I bought my first plate carrier off amazon in 2018, only 50 bucks from GFIRE. I still run it to this day when i'm not using my ar500 veritas. It hasn't failed me at all over the 3 years i have been using it and its been through A LOT more than I would put any other carrier through.

Ive always been really curious, why is it so hard to find what parts are compatible with your airsoft gun? I mean unless you bought like an avalon or something. I just feel like its really hard to find good quality aftermarket parts that work the best.

What’s the best air soft guns

under 12 needs a senior airsofter as combat partner and show them the ropes

George voice sounds slightly like Lazlow Jones... Guy of GTA series fame.

Speedsofters ruin Airsoft.

i was looking to get in airsoft and was wondering if anyone knew how the G&G predator, maybe for a first gun? 🤔😊

Hey Matt and George I am waiting on the m249 featherweight to come back into stock but when it does what upgrades or modifications would yall do to it if you had one? Thanks guys keep up the great work.

Even Matt knows the Fn2000 is no joke 😁

Given that Sig Sauer has joined the Airsoft party with their M17/18 pistols and MCX, do you expect to see more real firearms manufacturers start making their own airsoft guns instead of just officially licensing their weapons to other manufactures?

Do you ship to the UK??

What tools should I buy to start teching on guns?

I'm not sure about other European countries, but in Finland isn't expensive to start or play Airsoft. You can get good Airsoft replica 120+ Euros.

If there was a gun that you would want to be remade and released what would it be and who would you want it to be made by?! Also love you guys listen to all your vids! Keep up the good work!

DFW adventure park had an 18+ and under 18 airsoft groups and kids under 18 could play in the adult group with permission from the ref. This system worked great and more fields should try it

Matt can you cartwheel ambidextrously?

Bad blood was in pa

Question: do you think that the international market for airsoft should be less restricted? I know that some countries have laws of the orange/red flash hider, colored tape for shipping but I'm talking more about importing brands more easily, like here in brazil it's kinda hard to get some brands that are popular in US, and I saw that some brands are struggling to keep up because they can't have a bigger market

Just polarstar it

Do you think hpa is dead? With all the upgrades available for aegs, I see so many people scrapping thier hpa setups, or only using them with replicas that are already gas powered, in favor of dsg units, custom work, ect.

Yo, The TM FAMAS came out in like 1990... Long before FAMAS and MK.23 hype in 1998... The M16A1 and the V2 gearbox in 1991, thus the Marui Man video.

Hello from Portugal. I liked to know why so much hate on CYMA. I have a mp5 from CYMA blue edition and despite being fully stock, has a better performance that my Specna m4. Since I bought it, (To replace my old m4 also from CYMA) I have only had problems, such as consistency, rang ... keep up the good work. I love the show 😉

Palindrome

Maybe when things get better out there think about maybe some live shows with an audience would be cool

The question of the century: HPA, or fully upgraded AEG (45000rpm motor, gate titan, 13:1 gears, microswitch trigger, perfect shim job, etc)?

Headgear wise, I'm part of the Baseball Hat + Razors hang, but what are y'all preferences? Hat or helmet? Backwards or forwards hat? Hi cut, MICH/ACH, Historical? Comms/ears or no? Nothing all together?

I actually bought a PEQ15 off wish a few months ago expecting it to be completely crap, it was actually well built and it even held zero on my real AR15. I’m now using it on my C-TAC M4 (Canadian brand as I’m in Canada)

F2000 and L85 both take AR mags and can be way Sevier than any AR. Ps honest play in canada? Lmfao! I quit the sport here because of the prolific dishonesty.

Best: Condor magazine pouches. They're very good under NV compared to a lot of Berry Compliant gear like Eagle Industries. Worst: "universal" nylon holsters and any sort of gear that is "Asian sized"

The field I play at a lot - Tacoma airsoft - most days are all ages and nothing insane like I think no grenades no hpa 60 FPS builds , 330 FPS max with .2s But on fridays is the older people days and it’s everything goes grenades mines grenade launchers polar stars etc still 330 max FPS with .2s but damn it’s fantastic on fridays and I believe it goes till 12:00 which I did one night though by the end there was 4 people left including me so we 2v2 3 life skrims in zone 4 of the map and it was actually really fun I’ve also never had any issues of people not calling hits or getting angry everyone knows each other and it’s just chill and fun

I ref at a field local to me. We play a battle royal game sometimes and they seem to go great. However the most players we’ve ever done it with is around 50 we do teams of 3-4 and spawn them in different areas of the field and then start the game. Every player starts with 400 dollars (prop money) and the objective is to get the most money. If someone kills you they can loot you but only take 100 dollars at a time. The 400 dollars also represents your lives you have once you run out of money you walk to a ref because you have no lives yet. However any team can buy you back for 400 dollars and if you’re bought back you get 100 dollars. It’s confusing but if the players listen to the briefing it usually goes amazing.

Ares SOC AR makes a great bullpup. Uses stanag mags, good looking package and a mosfet with 3 round burst

omg drivel cringe drivel , on on on and on , like a overrated kung fu film just wont stop relentlessly , dribble .

Why are AR-10 GBBR so hard to find, even though people love ther ar-15 bust love sniping why do u think AR-10 are unpopular?

I think airsoft is different in Europe because we’re more lenient on headshots and close shooting, the “bang” rule, it’s a lot less tolerated in America, Obviously for safety, but just wear full face pro, you paid to shoot and get shot, if you get shot in the head just say well done and laugh it off, close range? It’ll sting but again laugh it off, point blank however? I totally get the “bang” rule, or do something funny like a knife or knock lightly on your opponents helmet, just have fun

I have an umarex hk sl9. I've shorted the handguard with a g36c handguard, outer and inner barrel. Other then that it's all stock. What would you recommend for internal upgrades
