BR8, AR-4 v3, knexsayer, ZKAR, Rectangle, etc for primary.

Mezak, TBOS, Oodassault for sidearm.

My opinion.

ZKAR v2 as primary

And the SN31 Assault Magnum as a secondary.

They work good together.

I'd use an oodammo pistol as a secondary weapon.  SN31 assault magnum was a TDS copy if I remember right.  Setups like that only went 15 feet for me.

Practically every handle fed pistols are TDS copies. TD is just lucky he posted his first. And, mine went 30 feet with ONE rubberband.
Nov 6, 2009. 4:04 PMDJ Radio says:
Actually, looking back, it's a loosewire copy, TD made a completely different handle and more people use that than loosewire's handle.

Yes, but it is a good grey connector shooter.
Nov 6, 2009. 8:09 PMDJ Radio says:
Nah, I've seen better.  Besides, oodammo pistols are more accurate.

Thanks

Lucky? Lol it's because I posted mine that side arms became a fad. I don't think anyone else had a side arm like mine planned at the time. But yeah side arms are small so it's pretty hard to make one that's original without just changing the looks. It's a good thing oodammo broke it up to start a new one. I guess technically I was first to make an oodammo pistol but I know that others had their own ideas at the time so it wasn't just me.

You're welcome.  When that shipment of new knex I ordered from knex.com comes in about 1 week, that will change.
Nov 8, 2009. 2:35 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:
Uh.....ok
Nov 8, 2009. 2:55 PMchopstx says:

What i sbetter than it?

Nov 8, 2009. 2:56 PMchopstx says:
Well, good, not lucky. And yes, oodammmo is the next fad.
Nov 8, 2009. 3:14 PMDJ Radio says:
Something with the mag in front of the trigger.
Nov 8, 2009. 4:20 PMchopstx says:
But then the bullet can fall out?
Nov 8, 2009. 4:31 PMDJ Radio says:
The mag friction would prevent that.  If it was true bolt action or a turret, it would have a bullet lock.
Nov 8, 2009. 6:18 PMchopstx says:
True.............
Nov 8, 2009. 7:36 PMDJ Radio says:
Face it, the handle loading pistols are obsolete now. 
Nov 9, 2009. 10:56 AMchopstx says:
Yeah......but I still enjoy them for realism.
Nov 10, 2009. 5:02 PMDJ Radio says:
I'm serious, I'm making a new Jackal v4, with an original trigger that worked when I tested it.
Nov 10, 2009. 5:13 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:
I don't doubt your serious. What's it going to be like??
Nov 10, 2009. 5:18 PMDJ Radio says:
No slide action, different trigger mech, other stuff.  I probably will post this one.
Nov 10, 2009. 5:26 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:
Ok, sounds like it could be good.
Nov 12, 2009. 8:16 PMDJ Radio says:
The trigger is actually much better than the one on the ZLG, it only has 1 place of movement, whereas most true triggers have at least 2, which makes it much more reliable.  It's actually pretty clever, I wonder why it hasn't been done before lol.
Nov 12, 2009. 8:22 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:
Well if it blocks the barrel like all other guns it won't be that new. Just cuz someone changes up the pivot points doesn't make it new to me.
Nov 12, 2009. 8:28 PMDJ Radio says:
No, the fact that it only has 1 pivot point makes it MUCH more reliable than the average true trigger, and you don't lose a bunch of power because it blocks very far back.

I'd use
2 LSS's unposted
2 SALSA's (if I could get them to work)
Nov 12, 2009. 2:07 PMDJ Radio says:
Why SALSA?  Sure semi autos have faster ROF, but they are also weak and only go about 10 feet, not enough for even CQC knex wars.
May 24, 2010. 5:10 PMJesus. says:
SALSA?
Do they shoot salsa?
Nov 12, 2009. 6:34 PMFred the Penguin says:
meh. mainly for a high rate of fire, If they get past me with an LSS they are going to be that close anyway, so I might as well have something that I can unload onto them in under 10 seconds
Nov 12, 2009. 8:15 PMDJ Radio says:
If I see you using either yours or ooda's salsa, I'll just get my unposted oodammo pistol and shoot you from 40 feet lol.
Nov 12, 2009. 8:21 PMFred the Penguin says:

SALSA went bye bye 30 minutes ago in a fit of childish rage (not really)

 Id have to say for a sniper: WWII Springfield by MrStealth and
                                                  Eliminator Assault Pistol by KSC
 For an assault kit...............: TR18 with vertical foregrip by KILLERK and
                                                  Oodassault v1 by The Dunkis
 For a guard.........................: Knexsayer by Mepain and 
                                                   Shifle by Mepain
 For a heavy.........................: I I_Am_Canadian's cannon v3 and
                                                  OSSR by DJ_Radio 

Nov 8, 2009. 8:15 PMDJ Radio says:
Why a shifle?  I would replace it with a ZKAR.  Faster ROF, more reliable (no string needed) and better performance.
Nov 8, 2009. 5:47 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:
Thanks
Nov 7, 2009. 2:27 PMKiller~SafeCracker says:
I really think a TR18 is enough.
But I would take a TR18 and a E.A.P for my "combo".
