There are things not from evike at the store also (like hpa bb’s ordered through hpa and so on because logistically, it’s more sound) and those prices may be different.

About the Warzone thing. It kinda has already been done. Mr Beast had a KZreadr (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.

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?

My question is what you think of hpa becoming more adaptive for any situation? For example wolverine reaper m and the polarstar kythera where it doesn’t require a battery, so weather won’t effect them as an aeg or gbb would get effect.

As a player how can you communicate effectively to your local field that the games are feeling stale? (Keeping in mind that outside of California a lot of us only have the option of 1 or maybe 2 fields local to us.)

Our local field here in San Antonio, TX has been pretty awesome. Mission Airsoft. Lots of good players here young and old, and everyone seems to have a good attitude on the field just about every time, at least in my experience.

Hello George and matt, I was wondering what to do with my rifle as the magazine release catch snapped after I went to take my magazine out to see if it will fit, will it be cheaper buying a new one or trying to get it replaced? Love the show hope to come across and play a milsim one day

Question: with the release of the triple sector gear and years of the dual sector gear, do you think there will ever be a point where DSG’s come stock in guns as opposed to SSG’s?

Question: What are the best hopup, bucking, and inner barrel recommendations for maximum range? (carbine length AEG)

When can we expect MP5 GBB to come to Evike?

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

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

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)

What is your thoughts on tag rounds. And If not applicable in certain states, what do you recommend for pyro alternatives for the places that can't use sed items

I'm just starting airsoft and am wanting to start playing. What "beginner" gun, gear, etc, should I get?

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 😂)

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

What’s a better plate carrier to use? A minimalist plate carrier or a full-size plate carrier? I own both and I’m just wondering if it’s a personal preference or if one is better than the other?

How much better is the use of armbands to distinguish factions as opposed to Tan vs Green camo? My local outdoor field does not use armbands and personally I think it would balance the game especially over 3 seasons of play where camo preference changes. I say use armbands outside of scheduled special events with specific BDU standard rules

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?

What is the best affordable m4 mid caps. I have the elite force ones and they are all right, but I’m thinking of trying to get something a little better.

@evike guys question =Should mid cap mags be emptied out when not in use to save the spring?

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

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.

would rather you go with a 15" aeg ar set up or a DMR style scar-h HPA set up?

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

what's a good beginner gun for someone who is tall that won't make you feel hemmed up with out being long and unruly?

Question: Hey NSRT, I’m a huge fan of keeping firing airsoft guns to look as real as possible (ie. blowback and recoil) but some AEGs I’ve seen are recommended using Li-Po and I’m not particularly fond of them due to their unstable nature. So, is it 100% necessary to only use the recommended Li-Po battery in the gun? Thanks in advance, keep up the good work

I think that it's possible to have a BR type game, except it's mandatory quad teams and allow people to use their own gear, so it's 25 four person teams with the hit/knocked function. It could be kind of like one of Jet's events with the tourniquet. It could allow a good long game if people are to be trusted. It requires more elaboration than this, but it's a thought.

another point about not using a bullpup is because of milsim if youre gonna do milsim youre probably gonna want like something like a mk18 or some variant of a us issue rifle
