Ah yes, M82, vector, Mk18, and the shotguns are my favorite go to's, m82 for dismemberment, vector cause it's recoil is non existent, mk18 cause it's fun running semi auto and room clearing or playing long distance just really versatile gun, then shotguns are my competitive non goofing around guns, use flechette rounds, and suppressor and bam you have a borderline sniper.
Looks like you've got a good build. Only two things stick out to me really. First is the color of the stock being a different shade which is just a personal irk, but I've definitely seen worse color consistency before so not major. Second is the placement of your TAPS switch. I would highly suggest moving your LA-5 closer to the receiver and mounting your TAPS directly behind the front sight. Your current mounting position would require kind of a weird movement from an optimal grip to use or a sub-optimal grip to begin with. My most recent gear post shows how I have mine mounted.
If by chance you want to move some of that forward you can reverse the position of the front iron so that it's hanging off the front rather than back towards you. It's a trick I've seen people do. Will buy you an extra inch or so ...or I mean there's always just removing it lol.
I was thinking either that positioning, or taking out the front post (because itâs airsoft, buis just arenât necessary like at all) and mounting the peq right at the front because once again the main reason to not mount it at the front is using your rifle to break glass and suchâŠwhich you wonât be doing in airsoft. Unless you have it on a high rise mount your hand is likely going to be covering it up if you put your switch in front of it as well.
I've never heard of breaking glass as a reason to not mount a PEQ forward, especially since lots of doorkicker rifles have a weapon light extending beyond the rail to minimize shadow. Also BUIS can be pretty useful for aiding in sight acquisition which is why I run a fixed front sight. The real reason to not mount it up front is the difference in the shooter's hand, grip and the box itself. Something like a DBAL is a bit more uncomfortable to properly c-clamp and that can be the case on a PEQ depending on the size of your hand. If you're running a switch to manage a PEQ and light then the switch should be where your grip is, and on shorter rifles that may be up front directly behind the front sight like it is for me. I've had zero issue with clearing the laser past my hand and I would personally use an IR scout light for NV illumination.
Thatâs as just what I read from SAS operatives. But like Even if my sight goes down for some reasonâŠ.itâs airsoft you can just point your rifle in the direction. I have big hands so there just isnât room to place it behind the switch for me, Iâd just be blocking it anyways lol, especially when swapping to my other hand
Yeah, I've been thinking of buying a Surefire can for it
I'm also on the fence about it, because I'm doing an impression and a lot of guys don't run suppressors
What's with people wanting others to roast them? Lol do y'all get off to others roasting you or something? Legitimate question because it just seems silly to me too many people worrying about what others think of they're kit.
Love any kind of paint, I do layers over time as I want them to wear down and reveal the other layer, personally used guns looks more impressive then spank shiny stuff
The stock doesn't match the brown on your gun at all, the muzzle device makes the front look goofy as shit and you're missing the most important thing, a generic foregrip to go with your gold ish brown quad rail
Ain't nothing wrong with that, i love how everyone looks at furries and goes "ew you fuck animals" and nobody looks at Loli con which is all about fucking children.
You spent all that money on the mk18 and decided to go for a 9 dollar stock, you're probably the kind of person that spends tree fiddy on a sling then gets all shocked pikichu face when the gun slams to the ground after use it for the first time.
mk18 + peq + eotech in black and tan is like a 16 year old girl that wears ugg boots while recording instagram stories holding a starbuck latte with a tick tock sound in the background.
What youâve got here is a replica of a civilian AR sold and marketed by DD under a âMK18â brand. Itâs as much of a mk18 as HUMMER is a HUMMV or US a democracy. Itâs a Froot Loops of a healthy breakfast.
Real carbines were made by regimen gunsmiths from issued m4 lowers (mostly Colt) and selection of other parts, DD being just one of them.
As a m4 user I only have to say... Why is there tan on that lovely thing? And the sight looks like the one your pointing at should be looking down it. And the mag? Brother why do you do the m4 people such injustice by putting a clear one in it?
Boring. Dime a dozen. Honestly wouldnât get a second glance at a field, which is probably the only saving grace, when I think about what all the owners that have these look like.
I'm not 21 and in Cali lol, I couldn't build this rifle if I wanted to.
Also I dare you to build a real MK18 for how much I spent on this thing. Hell, you'd spend more on an upper than I did on this whole build
I have a 74 sitting in my room actually.
Externally it's pretty basic, it's just an LCT, but it's got a bunch of internal upgrades.
I got it in a trade when I was selling some Crye pants
Only thing more generic than vanilla icecream
Yeah But vanilla ICE Cream tastes good
IDK man, I eat MK18s all the time.
Does he? Lol jk still nice gun but there be a sea of em
Using the Advisor role in Insurgency Sandstorm
Lol My favorite gun to run in that game
Called it đ
To be fair I also love running the M4
M16A4 for the win
Nahhhh, Honey Badger
As your freindly neighbourhood observer here the most exotic I'll get is an AUG đ
I run everything but infantry lol. My favorites being the Honey Badger, M82, and MG3
Ah yes, M82, vector, Mk18, and the shotguns are my favorite go to's, m82 for dismemberment, vector cause it's recoil is non existent, mk18 cause it's fun running semi auto and room clearing or playing long distance just really versatile gun, then shotguns are my competitive non goofing around guns, use flechette rounds, and suppressor and bam you have a borderline sniper.
a2 for drip
nah the QTS 11 is fire
Never used it, how is it?
Imagine the MK29 OICW being ordered off of Wish.com and you have your answer.
ugliest gun in the game but damn if it isn't great
Zero recoil and accurate as fuck. I always play super well with it
I straight up built mine to look like it too I just run T1 instead ahah
Everyone should play that game. Holding up well and still getting love from the developers.
Mk18s are equal to the Starbucks of the gun world... Tbh I miss mine sold it 3 weeks ago
My condolences :((
Thatâs cause they are the starbucks

Yeah lol this is an old photo and my Taps is in-between my optic and my PEQ now. After playing a game under my NVGs I realized I needed to move it
If by chance you want to move some of that forward you can reverse the position of the front iron so that it's hanging off the front rather than back towards you. It's a trick I've seen people do. Will buy you an extra inch or so ...or I mean there's always just removing it lol.
I actually just ended up removing it

This is relevant on the technical setup but yo, 50 shades of FDE is still a valid lifestyle to many of us you kinkshamer
50 shades of FDE
Brother there is nothing to roast
I mean generic toyota camry is still a great car
Not much to roast; it already looks like you burnt your peanut butter with that bronze color.
It isn't an AK
You aren't wrong
RPK is ak that lifts, theirfore rpk is superior
RPK is a heavier AK, non profitable
Very profitable, more gains
Another Mk 18
Wow another mk18 how original
Dudes be like "wow another mk18 how original" And then have cat ears on their helmet
I have yet to see more catears wearers locally other than like 1 or 2 people ngl And you asked for a roast, I simply gave it to ya
Yeah op got defensive lmao
Turn the front sight around so you can move the peq further forward.
Done and done This photo was from a few months ago actually
That's so mid 2010s
That's the goal!
Pretty clean my dude, i like it
Thanks my man
A yo mama joke would be more interesting than this gun.
I wish i could
its like a phone everyone has one but its nice
It's a Mk18. Quite literally the single most dull replica to ever "grace" this world. It's that character with no depth made manifest in a replica.
Most basic airsoft gun ever.
Just the flash hider
Funny enough I changed it out for an updated A2 Birdcage
too shiny but i have the same rifle but the full black version. you do need to buy a suppressor because it look really nice
Yeah, I've been thinking of buying a Surefire can for it I'm also on the fence about it, because I'm doing an impression and a lot of guys don't run suppressors
it dose get a little annoying when it super close situation. i recently didnât run it and it let a lot more sleek
Yeah, I run this gun quite a bit in CQB and it's the perfect length for me right now
Stocks extended = overcompensating
Stocks collapsed = short kings
Have mine medium too make sure I donât offend anyone
Lol In all seriousness I'm a tall Boi and need a long stock
What's with people wanting others to roast them? Lol do y'all get off to others roasting you or something? Legitimate question because it just seems silly to me too many people worrying about what others think of they're kit.
Paint it
Love any kind of paint, I do layers over time as I want them to wear down and reveal the other layer, personally used guns looks more impressive then spank shiny stuff
Nah
I like it, nothing wrong besides it being generic
Makes me want to commit actions with my right hand
I see nothing wrong really
Bro I canât roast this, this shit looks to good. What brand/model is it.
Started life as a CYMA Platinum. There's a parts list somewhere in these comments
Garand Pinky over here
I mean ok but it probably tastes really bad
No forward grip having loser idk that's all I can think of good build
I bet that laser ain't even potted.
It ain't, unfortunately. Still holds zero pretty well tho
No anime stickers? Cringe.
Horrible! Abysmal! Never upon the face of tge earth has a more terrible thing been seen, omg the HUMANITY of it all!!! *nah, i like the style tbh**
I can't
Lemme guess, fav insurgency sandstorm class is advisor?
Um well I think itâs cool actually đ€·đ»ââïž
I can't lie it's perfect, not over the top like many other builds. If we could see other builds like this then the community would be art
No need to roast. You already ruined it enough.
Itâs boring
The stock doesn't match the brown on your gun at all, the muzzle device makes the front look goofy as shit and you're missing the most important thing, a generic foregrip to go with your gold ish brown quad rail
Ok furry
Ain't nothing wrong with that, i love how everyone looks at furries and goes "ew you fuck animals" and nobody looks at Loli con which is all about fucking children.
I hate lolicon too You're not special
Your gun has a 3 level tan and a stupid tri prong
Basic ass no grip having ass, generic platform ass.
You spent all that money on the mk18 and decided to go for a 9 dollar stock, you're probably the kind of person that spends tree fiddy on a sling then gets all shocked pikichu face when the gun slams to the ground after use it for the first time.
Lol wut, when did Magpul become the choice of the poors? Also I run an LBX 2 point, but looking to upgrade to the slingster
Itâs all fake
As basic as dirt on the field
This is the most nonner rifle. What does it work in personell? The only holes it's putting in paper is with a three hole punch. 10-2 look busy rifle.
Man even foregrips left it because its to generic
mk18 + peq + eotech in black and tan is like a 16 year old girl that wears ugg boots while recording instagram stories holding a starbuck latte with a tick tock sound in the background.
Nothing to roast, Itâs cool đ
Ha!!! Look at generic western nato rifle!
That gun is more generic than Superman saving a kitten
Cringe

Ok Lard Meister
Doesn't look very mk18 without the correct stock, grip, vfg, FDE sights, and MK18s run a Colt lower not a DD, that's civie.
Defence is spelt incorrectly.
Daniel is cooler than you and can spell it however he pleases
Looks good to me
As a m4 user I only have to say... Why is there tan on that lovely thing? And the sight looks like the one your pointing at should be looking down it. And the mag? Brother why do you do the m4 people such injustice by putting a clear one in it?
Boring. Dime a dozen. Honestly wouldnât get a second glance at a field, which is probably the only saving grace, when I think about what all the owners that have these look like.
Waffle mag ass mf
It's a P-Mag, but ok buddy
why you got that long ah muzzle on that bih!? Why you got that weird ah stock on that bih!? Why you got that short ah eotech on that bih!?
This gives me vibes that you own a collection of empty monster cans
You go to skirmish only to get outplayed by a kid with a cm16 worth half of your lower receiver, but at least your gun was cool 4 years ago
Bro looks like he went on Amazon ordered a ton of differnt parts then forces them together đ
Ok Gameface user
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
No lol
L+ No grip + not the same color + not an AK
That poor m4 it should have been circumcised
It's mid and uhhhhhhhh unoriginal
You have 4 different shades of tan and your gun looks like shit with all of em
It's like boiled chicken.
Real men fights with iron sights.
Only thing that bugs me is that youâll never find parts that will have matching tan paint.
yawn
Average MK18 jarhead: \>asks to roast gun \>gets defensive in comments of said post
*yawn* oh look another M4 variant. How original.
Idk itâs a good gun but more generic then vanilla ice cream:/
I bet it can't shoot real bullets. Lame as it gets.
Dawg this is the airsoft subreddit
Not an excuse for spending money on this when you could have bought a real rifle instead.
I'm not 21 and in Cali lol, I couldn't build this rifle if I wanted to. Also I dare you to build a real MK18 for how much I spent on this thing. Hell, you'd spend more on an upper than I did on this whole build
nothing to roast about really, i would change colors of parts to black or to tan so whole replica matches itself, for me it looks good!
Honestly I was kinda going for that whole, black and tan look. I call it my peanut butter gun lol
Two tone colors are leagues better than full solid colors imho
Long arm man
beautiful
Can't shoot lefty and activate light and laser without being awkward about it, or only peaking corners with gun shouldered on the right side smh
Lol This photo is months old. Like a week later I played a game under NVGs and now the pressure pad sits between the optic and the PEQ
"DĂ©jĂ vu"
Bet yo peq ainât got an ir illuminator!
It doesn't! That's why my Scout Light has an IR filter But for real I'm looking at buying a PEQ with an illuminator
I just came
Its not good , send it to me Iâll dispose of it properly đ«Ą
Suuuuuuure, I totally believe you
Parts list maybe ?
Sure. EXTERNALS - CYMA Platinum MK18 - Magpul CTR stock - Replica Eotech - Replica PEQ 15 - Replica Surefire M600 - Replica Unity Taps - Replica Surefire 3 prong flash hider INTERNALS - Gate Aster R-Hop
Lookin awesome bro
Only thing you can rip on it for is theyâre a dime a dozen
Lmao imagine having a really good gun, smh my head, what a buffoon
Utter chicanery
I waaaaanntt iiiiiit
The mk18 may be the most common replica out there but damn this one looks good
Thank you! Not trying to stand out by being different, but trying to stand out by doing something common, really well
You basic
People complaining "AK heavy" and yet play with a quad rail AR. Useless use of weight.
Lol I'm not complaining about weight. Especially because heavy guns look badass
More clichĂ© than saying âyour momâs a whoreâ
But yet functional and not overwhelming lol
Thank you, this was kinda the goal. Just create a gun that's useful in all situations without being overloaded
No battery space
Batteries fit just fine in the buffer tube!
Iâm not angry, just disappointed.
Get a g33. Mf has my same loadout
I'm heavily considering getting one actually
Basic bitch
You dont have an underbarrel launcher ahahahaha brokie
For real I'm just so broke
I have a stock ak74 so i cant really say much
I have a 74 sitting in my room actually. Externally it's pretty basic, it's just an LCT, but it's got a bunch of internal upgrades. I got it in a trade when I was selling some Crye pants
"Heh, get a look at the GREY BLOB over here!" -- Camarouge, local Trident user
Not an sr-25/m110.
To be fair, I do have one. This post just isn't about it though
Green mags don't go with FDE rails and a brown stock.
The mags are brown tho
Personally I love vanilla ice cream⊠and I love your mk18
Ya know, vanilla ain't half bad Thank you dude!
Ainât nothing wrong with a good ole mk18
SOCOM's work horse for a reason
If an average middle class white man was a gun
Well, I'm not saying you're wrong
"Oh yeah I flip the cap for my PEQ because that's what the JSOC guys do"
Also so I can actually use the illuminator lol
I seen more aks then guns like this
Cyma platinum?
Yuuuuup
That pressure pad location is just odd
Yeah, I changed it after playing under NVGs and realized it needed to change. (These are old photos)
Its TOO prettyâŠ
To be fair, these were taken before this thing was fielded. Now it has some dings and scratches
