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

2020-05-12 21:05:48 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 21:06:45 UTC  

Back to banadanas, and boonie hats it is

2020-05-12 21:08:59 UTC  

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?

2020-05-12 21:24:53 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 21:27:16 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 21:27:19 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 21:28:31 UTC  

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.

2020-05-12 21:33:01 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 21:38:32 UTC  

Okay, thanks

2020-05-12 21:43:17 UTC  

@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?

2020-05-12 22:06:09 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 22:13:13 UTC  

LITERALLY a night and day difference

2020-05-12 22:18:55 UTC  

It helps that much with accuracy?

2020-05-12 22:23:09 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 22:23:42 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 23:13:48 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 23:15:51 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 23:21:00 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 23:31:12 UTC  

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

2020-05-12 23:59:59 UTC  

@EDDSkitz you use peltors with your kit?

2020-05-13 00:00:09 UTC  

Yeah, comtac III's

2020-05-13 00:00:38 UTC  

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

2020-05-13 00:00:47 UTC  

JCI Comms on Facebook

2020-05-13 00:00:47 UTC  

I’ve got the dual comms

2020-05-13 00:01:02 UTC  

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

2020-05-13 00:01:13 UTC  

6 pin*

2020-05-13 00:01:34 UTC  

Yeah

2020-05-13 00:01:44 UTC  

I almost did duals

2020-05-13 00:02:24 UTC  

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

2020-05-13 00:02:44 UTC  

Are they better?

2020-05-13 00:02:51 UTC  

I found mine salty for 315

2020-05-13 00:02:59 UTC  

I bought new

2020-05-13 00:03:16 UTC  

Yeah the amps are way better, but like 1400

2020-05-13 00:03:41 UTC  

Holy shit

2020-05-13 00:06:16 UTC  

Super Gucci operator shit though

2020-05-13 00:06:48 UTC  

The way they attach to the helmet is dope though

2020-05-13 00:08:27 UTC  

I don’t even have a helmet

2020-05-13 00:08:45 UTC  

Idek if I will until I build a “stationary” loadout
