Wow, It's been a while.

Hey, Th0r here, and wow has it been a while since I last posted, considering I said I would post regularly. My school work kind of caught up with me, so i haven't been able to post in quite a while. I got a new Camera, and Fuji FinePix S3400, and man, do I love it. So here are some of the better photo's i took of my ICS MK-18, and again, i will TRY to post more often (Which would be easier if i had something to review/talk about).

MK-18 Mod 0 Update

Hey guys Thor here, and i realized i haven't posted anything on here for longer than i haven't posted things on Null {http://nullreviewnotfound.blogspot.com} so here is an update on my Mark 18 Mod 0 Assault Rifle.

here is the rifle minus the stock {as i was painting it}

as you can tell there are some new things. first, i added hockey tape on the rail covers for better grip.

second, i added a folding A.R.M.S. 41-B Silhouette folding front sight:

 and here it is unfolded.

And then under the left rail-cover are to cable ties, fitted to hold my camera so i can film in game action:

 Here is the gun from the front:

and here it is from the back:

as you can see i have etched 'Th0R into the charging handle, Call of Duty: Black Ops style.

I also Painted 'Th0R onto the butt stock, an idea i got from Watchalewknat and Airsoft Riot's Smoker.

obviously this is before painting, here is it painted, with the tape still on:

And here it is with the tape removed, i think it turned out good

so this has been the update for my gun, Th0R out (oh, and i added hockey tape to the left side of the stock for comfort)

My last post was like a week ago or more, so i figure I might as well make a new review.

HK p30 AEP Review

So here i am, reviewing my brothers Umarex HK p30 AEP (airsoft electric pistol)

It takes 4 AAA batteries, so mine runs the equivalent of a 4.8v 900mah battery. It shoots around 180fps(.12s, which i don't recommend you use. go to Wal-Mart and buy some supersonic .2s*) and around 180 to 240 rounds a minute on full-auto. YES. FULL-AUTO. This pistol is both Semi- and Full-Auto. you control this via a switch just in front of your trigger finger (forward for Semi-, back for Full-Auto).

Components:
Body materiel - Plastic
Slide materiel - Plastic
Magazine - plastic, Stick type
Sights - plastic, Fixed
Hop-up - Fixed
Hammer - Plastic, non-functional. (doesn't even lock back.)
Safety - Plastic, secondary trigger
Trigger & Assembly - Plastic

Internals:
Short type motor
Plastic spring guide
Plastic Cylinder
Plastic piston
Metal Gears
Plastic recoil spring guide and...
FULL OF CHEAP GREASE!

Functions:
This gun is an Electric Blow-Back. it utilizes a double third gear to fire the gun, and then push the slide back to reload.

More things:
The slide is one piece plastic, and feels pretty sturdy, and it is also black. it has an orange flash-hider, in accordance with American law, and a clear body, in accordance with Canadian law. The Slide does not lock back, and the only safety feature is that you have to press down a second trigger before it will fire.

and, with the body, the issue i have is that the lower receiver is based of the 9mm Para model

and the upper receiver is based off the .40 S&W model.

Notice how on the 9mm there is no selector switch at the back, and how the .40 has the larger hammer Besides these discrepancies, the Umarex HK p30 is a nice gun for beginners or people who just want to own their friends and their spring pistols in some lame backyard airsoft.

Stock Parts: 3/5
Compatibility: 2/5
Control: 4.5/5
Accuracy: 3.5/5
Weight: 4/5
Overall: 3.5/5
Not the greatest gun, but good for the price.

* By the way, i don't purchase my BB's at Wal-Mart, Although i used to, and i am only recommending them for this gun, or your cheap springers, NOT GOOD QUALITY GUNS.

Army of Two Rios Mask

So the Mask is now fully painted, and it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. it took about 4 hours (30 minutes give or take for the paint to dry) but it was worth it. Here are the steps:

1. I applied one or my pre-cut, pre-fitted camo stencils on to the lower half of the mask and covered the Hammer. notice that the top was already covered for painting the hammer. I sprayed the mask green first

2. After waiting for it to dry, i pealed off the first stencil, and applied the second one. i then preceded to spray it brown.

3. after waiting for that to dry, I removed the second stencil. here is what the camo looks like. it kind of looks like those Chinese made toys that are painted camo.

4. After that, I covered the lower half in news paper so it would not get painted silver while i was painting the Hammer. i forgot to take a picture of the all silver hammer, before we prepped the handle to be painted brown, but we covered the top of the hammer with news paper so it would not turn brown.

So then i sprayed it brown.

After i waited for it to dry, i removed the news paper and the tape, and this is the final design.

And here is it on me

so thats my new mask.

Army of Two

Now Based on the title, you would think this deserved to go on (null), but actually this has to do with my Army of Two style airsoft mask. For those of you who have seem it, you'll know its already pretty awesome. (for those of you who have not seen it)

Well if you hadn't yet seen it, there it is. In keeping with the trend of putting some thing related to your name on your mask, set by RAINBOW OPS, I am spray-painting my mask with a couple designs, namely, Thor's Hammer (the Marvel one)

so yeah. i have covered my mask in painters tape, and have the Hammer cut in on the upper left

By now, If you got this Far, you may notice the lower half of the mask is not covered. you may also have noticed 2 pieces of tape that could fit right there. well, i am painting the lower half woodland Camo, and i have my own personal design. here are the templates for the camo spray painting. they took like an hour to make. each. luckily for me, its only three colour woodland camo.

Basically, i paint the bottom half of the mask Forest Green, wait for it to dry, apply on of the templates, spray it with Brown, wait for it to dry, apply the second template, and spray it Black. it is very tedious, but it should work.  

This is how i plan on keeping the paint out from inside the mask. all other holes (e.g. eyes, nose)

Note: this is only my first mask, and i plan to get a better one as time progresses.

Note #2: This is my first paint job, and the paint not turn out as well as i hope it will.
