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).

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.

So i made some more changes to the crest. It now reads, "The Gods of War" and my new, im not sure what you would call it... "codename" of sorts is Callsign is Thor. I have been trying to come up with one for a while now, and it is harder than it seems. If anyone wanted to join the 105th, say your reading this on buzz, or you acctually visited my blog and live near me in toronto, (ryan Vienneau, evem though you can't really own an airsoft yet, you could still be Ares or Mars, or perhaps an other god of war... NOT KRATOS!!) there are openings for more people here is a list of gods of war. try to choose a short one, not "Tūmatauenga" here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_war_deities. that should take you to a list of war deities, where you can choose a... CALLSIGN! that is what i ment... i will now edit that... again try to keep it short, like 1 or 2 syllables. and here is the updated crest which reads: 105th Special Forces "The Gods of War". so far the only real colour scheme to our gear is CADPAT BDU's, although i don't even have a set...
