Long story short, I got a mystery box from Evike and I’m not mad at it, not even a little. Double Eagle DRP-9. I’d be interested to know why they suddenly stopped production and moved to the DMP-9 with a polymer upper rather than metal, but this thing is fun!
I’ve added a few things here and there over the last couple of weeks. Shoots great, and it looks cool on its own!
I’ve spent time in subreddits like this one, wondering if I would catch a glimpse of something from you, looking for more insight than you’re ever going to share or be honest with yourself about. I don’t see a lot of posts from people who come from your perspective.
But if you’re in here, you probably think any number of these posts could have been written by me.
Those of us who felt discarded, caught by surprise, unaware of the blinders we’d worn - we’re all here. We’re crying out for understanding, but maybe there’s nothing to understand, or we simply wouldn’t be able to.
I’ve learned something, though. I didn’t know just how starved I’d been for someone to be enthusiastic about choosing me, who wouldn’t leave me wondering about where I stood and gave me just enough to keep me at full effort to convince them I was worth it. That was my fault, and I hope I’ve learned my lesson. It’s amazing what you figure out when someone is unapologetic about how they feel for you, especially when it comes out of left field.
So I won’t look for you anymore. But if you wander around in here? I think you’ll see me everywhere.
Pretty stoked about how this turned out. May get another veil for the rifle. Otherwise, feel free to roast! 🤣
I think she’s done, friends.
Tried to get my VFC M27 looking a bit more like an M38 since I plan to play DMR, even if it’s not perfect. I went with a cantilever-mounted LPVO, and I wanted to do something I haven’t seen a lot of with these in terms of color scheme, so I went with OD Green Magpul and PTS accessories, and a sling that more or less matches.
New internals:
GATE TITAN II
Warhead Indistries 20K Brushless motor
ZCI Full cylinder
Retro Arms polymer piston w/ steel teeth (16)
MAXX Double o-ring cylinder head
Modify air seal nozzle
GATE NOVA trigger
MAXX/ EMG Hop up
Unicorn MS110 spring
Prometheus/EMG 429mm 6.03 bore stainless barrel
Maple Leaf 70 degree Macaron bucking
Maple Leaf Omega nub
Really happy with the consistency on the Chrono (329-331 fps on .32s), which puts me a little shy of my fields’ DMR limits at 1.8 joules. Now I just need to really range test it and see how we’re hitting targets, and make sure the hop and the nub are just right.
Either way, I’m pumped to play soon! I’ll post my full DMR loadout soon. Just waiting on one piece before I’m totally comfortable with it.
