Supposedly yeah. It keeps gunk out of the receiver but it builds up in the gas block instead. I could be wrong but I think a lot of them blow gunk out of the gas block so while it's a pain to clean, it still functions

Go figure, ive got extra money right now... Looking at helmets.. Any tips, or finger points in the right direction are appreciated.

Unless you're taking classes that require a ballistic helmet for whatever reason, your best bet is a good quality bump helmet like team wendy, if you need to mount nods. If you don't need to mount nods or protect your head from bumping into shit due to your environment, no helmet

What kind of helmet would you recommend for posing in front of the mirror?

Definitely either team wendy or crye, both look pretty cool

Snazzy

Jokes aside I've got a team wendy bump helmet and its saved me from countless concussions. Very comfortable, well fitting, and protective.

Damn, 400-2500 for team wendy shit on ebay..

Back to banadanas, and boonie hats it is

Their story is pretty cool too, a bit sad.
Tldr the owner founded the company after his daughter died of traumatic brain injury from a skiing accident. He decided to make the best helmets possible after that.

What's up with the different finishes on BCGs?

What do different ones like phosphate, parkerized, and NiB do?

It's differing amounts of finish toughness. Gimme a sec, it's a google search away

I ask because I'm looking for less copy paste knowledge and more practical experience with them

Phosphate is tough and cost efficient. But harder to clean and requires more lube.
Black Nitride is basically better in every way but more expensive.
Nickle Boron is the best, also more expensive, and also shiny

My personal favorite is Black Nitride, it's tough, doesn't require as much lube as Phosphate, and doesn't have the shine of the Nickle Boron, which can give your position away better.

There are more kinds out there too, but those are the most common.

Okay, thanks

@Crye_Salesman I don’t remember at the moment the exact reasons but I was told by some SOTAR guys that NiB was discovered to be shite, do you know the reasoning?

Is making the change to a free float handguard vs delta ring worth a hundred bucks?

LITERALLY a night and day difference

It helps that much with accuracy?

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ NiB doesn’t retain lubricant like phosphate does, your rifle will shed lube much faster

And the slick carrier won’t actually run any better so, it’s actually less reliable over time

I just use nitride because it seems to be durable and very common

Oh you forgot the best one.
TiN bcg's force everyone to drop what they're doing and admire your flex even though it costs about the same

Nothing says flex like spending 2-3 times the price for parts because they're from a brand that literally no one but airsofters have heard of.

Honestly forgot salient arms exists

Im gonna grab the LMT enhanced whenever I find one in stock

@EDDSkitz you use peltors with your kit?

Yeah, comtac III's

Single com, but there's a guy that makes dual com PTT'S for single com radios

JCI Comms on Facebook

I’ve got the dual comms

But I was planning on putting one 2 pin and one 3 pin

6 pin*

Yeah

I almost did duals

I've been thinking of switching to the Opscore AMPs but damn are they expensive

Are they better?

I found mine salty for 315

I bought new
