ARM - Arms Race Manila

Yep, still here. We just haven't posted on this platform in awhile. Life has shifted to a lot of food, themed activities, car events, diecast meets, and dabbling into real steel. We're still rolling with the pewpew since the USP Match gotten revived and the g36 has new 3d printed mag shells (hellz yeah, no more snags during reload)!

In the next few weeks hopefully we get to run another event or maybe we go fishing, who knows...

We are honored to be selected as rental provider for this activity for the Order of DeMolay. Privatized site activity within a controlled environment under supervision of the parents as well. Thank you all for your trust and we hope you enjoyed the activity!

Before we embark on another session of controlled violence, just want to share some photos from last weekend's .ph. Showcasing my collection of and models in partnership with ! Thanks also to diorama makers and for providing the sets to display on. I hope the vehicle choices brought your vision for your dioramas to reality.

The Tokyo Marui MK23 has been around for a long while and has spawned so many clones but none coming close to the original performance at the same price point. This particular newer production batch at least comes with a brighter LED light vs the older incadecent bulb ones. Still, holster options for running the pistol with both the LAM and suppressor are few, expensive, and hard to come by. Thankful though RenegadeCow has prototyped and produced a molle compatible nylon holster that can do what even universal holster struggle to. Now, if only I cqn source out more mags...

Military Cosplay, my take on "Nomad" from Ghost Recon: Breakpoint

I'm a few bits lacking from my "full" in game loadout seeing as the girlfriend had to use the gloves and I left my airframe helmet. Mk23 with custom holster, to accommodate LAM unit, from RenegadeCow mounted on my ALICE rig for more practical (in game airsoft) applications.

Well, we are now here. Definitely an old man picking up a young guy's weapon. Hopefully we get to zero this, field it, and of course stack a body count. It is a different environment with customization now since the advent of 3d printers further expanding the modularity and adaptability of platforms performing in multiple applications.

I got an old second hand WE CT25 model a few weeks back to maybe replace the non-blowback SRC vest pocket pistol. It takes a bit of getting used to but I've already registered a confirmed hit at about 20ft through foliage. Having a working adjustable hop internally makes so much difference over the smooth bore and the added recoil action is always a welcome improvement.

Went as armed local civilian/guerrilla for last weekend's WW2 themed game. A simple shirt, woven hat, old pants, and classic converse canvas shoes for footwear to round everything out. 3 long Thompson SMG mags and the pistol fit in the canvas gp bag.

WW2AA Christmas Game to wrap up the pewpew for 2025! It was really awesome to get the OG guys of the group back in a game with new friends too! See y'alls for more pewpew in 2026!
