Post your guns' war wounds

[wildcard]

not exactly a war wounds but here it goes

- broken TOP M60 carry handle, lifting it up from the box when it arrived new back in 96, there goes $1600 M60 with out a carry handle

- the same TOP M60 right hand side Bipod leg snapped when a collision with a tree occurred at wasaga beach, at that time a teammate was carrying it

- cracked CAR15 body when shot by poncho's accidental hot JAC
- cracked and broken systema 1st gen metal body, shot and fell down off a hill at wasaga beach
- chewed and scratched MP5 stock from a beaver at OPCT1

No pics yet, but my PTW has some surface rust already on the outer barrel and front sight, as well as plenty of scratches from moving through dense wooded areas. Some mags are showing a bit of orange tinge here and there too. EOTech has a crack running along the bottom right corner of the lens - no biggie, as you don't even notice it once you're focused on the sight picture.

What can I say, I use my equipment in all conditions and I don't really baby them while in use. Like my car, they're made to be used and abused under certain conditions and I try to maximize their potential. It's half the reason why I choose to use the gear that I do.

re-broke the plastic front end off my mp5k at humanity's hammer last weekend. Snagged it on a tree. More crazy glue.

TM M16. fell on it. not while gaming but at home...and I wasn't carrying it, it was on my bed. Talk about pissed off. Broke the upper receiver tabs.

Then I had this crazy dream that I was playing airsoft and my SIG 552 gas nozzle thing (above the barrel) broke off. I told my friend about it before going out gaming.
Next thing I know, after jumping off a log, strap breaks, SIG falls, gas nozzle thing breaks off.
I was genuinely freaked out at that point, and I was lucky that I told him the dream before the game, makes the story actually believable.

Other than those two, pock marks in my plastic m16 body from deet, that's where we learned not to spray around the guns.

The front end is anyway. It's going to have a nice glue scar.

Funny thing is that I almost never use this gun. Bought it, carried it around for a buncha games, lent it out once or twice but I've had maybe 3 kills with it. Yet it's my most problematic gun. Broken front end, dogshit stock battery, broken trigger return spring, crappy accuracy (I am replacing hopup and barrel)
But it's still way better than having to resort to a crappy little gbb. Nothing beats a sidearm with a ver 3 and a hicap.

Good damage stories, although I was really hoping to see more pics of actual damage incurred... But keep 'em coming. It's actually quite interesting to hear...

[Skladfin]

lol my RAS came off of my M4 at one of point at a game.

Other than that, plastic bodies can go to hell lol

metal front sight on my ak47 broke when it hit my bathroom sink, not exactly a war story but meh

this weekend at Humanity's Hammer, both mine and Ancorp's AK's broke down mysteriously, mine turned out to be a crossed wire and I had her back up and running IN THE RAIN..was very impressed to say the least

Thank god chips and breaks are on non external showing parts. I guess I'm just rough with it. Example Yanked back the charging handle and it came apart. Broke the abs spacers both of them. Have to remember its not a real gun.

Anyhow I found long metal spacers for thin bolts and cut them to size and JB welded them. I used more jb weld than this pic shows to brace them.

i took my famas apart last weekend and while i went to the store, my nephew decided my carry handle needed some huge pieces carved out. rounded the edges with a dremel my rds wobbles a bit though.

[kalnaren]

Nothing major for me, I baby my guns. My worst was taking the front grip off my G36 I dropped the gun and the front of the grip smashed into the bayonet lug, taking a small chunk off of it. My rearsight is also rusting pretty bad, had to pull it apart clean and oil it.

I dont know if this counts as war wounds, but here it is anyway. got to play with the new tornado gernades. I guess something broke on it when our teammate dropped it after he was hit. A few minutes later a fellow teammate and myself were very happy to have the opportunity to huck this bad boy at the enemy. he pulled the pin and bam blows up right in our face. I dont trust those tricksy things to much any more.

Yeah that was really weird. Only AK's in the squad, both go down within 5 mins. I still don't have mine up and running, but will in about 2-3 days.

That can happen if you don't reset the timer plug.

haven't hurt a gun. Overloaded a carry bag but that don't count
