Re: Rainproofing AEGs

That aqua stop looks ninja!
I reckon a bag around mag (cardboard construction :O) and a liberal spray of that stuff should do it... would be an expensive mistake though...
Maybe I'll just wait til I've built a British style 50rnd jungle contact mag for it...

Re: Rainproofing AEGs

I've heard aquastop is very good, but i've never tried it, but i've been out in most weathers and never had any bother, I think the main rain related problem, if there was any, would be rust on the metal body parts, so I think your G36 should stand up pretty well Chris.

Re: Rainproofing AEGs

The battery is stored in the foregrip... which has vents on the top... I was mostly worried about the damp getting at that, but I am far less worried now

Use a big version of heatshrink or packaging heat shrink and that should solve the problem if aqua stop dosen't or you could actually use cling film....

What???

After all the hours of viewing and researching "Gentleman's interest" material on t'internet, I've never heard of such a product?

My own preferred method for waterproofing my AEGs is called "A House" to wit, I never go out in the rain. That, my friends, is a mug's game!

Re: Rainproofing AEGs

Isnt spray on condom stuff just something that kills the sperm off rather than stop it entering the vag altogether like a propper jonny..... pesticide/insecticide/spermicide????? Something like that lol

Why oh why am I not suprised your the first to comment or even notice this BAMF Haha. I saw something on it a few years ago, it's original use was an invisible condom but I reakon this would work ok and then at least you can get out of the house you big pansy! Man up and get in the rain!!

EDIT: @Joe: From what I remember it actually coats your tackle and washes off afterwards and leaves your seed well you can guess the rest...

Anyway back on topic Aqua stuff the best idea it would seem

Re: Rainproofing AEGs

I can assure you it has purely been for "Research purposes" and nothing untoward.

Fairweather skirmisher here and proud of it! I don't spend all that money on kit to potentially get it ruined.

How the hell does the spunk stay put? Thats got to be one thick old coat of spray to form the thickness and play in a condom. Id not rely on some gunge to stop me impregnating the fat bird from the night before i tell ya!

Oh if I wasnt a MOD I would Sig that haha. Sadly I will have to remove this side track soon enough but yeah it 'stops' it. So if it can stop 90mph spirts a bit of rain should be no problem :D

Re: Rainproofing AEGs

...I'm not a mod...

Anyway... has anyone had a motor die from playing in the rain? I don't mean dunking your M4 into a puddle, I mean just getting wet through use, and the damp air.

Re: Rainproofing AEGs

Rain aint gonna hurt an aeg, ive seen prople fall in lakes(bug puddles), streams and small puddles, only damage was to their pride lol.
Theres videos on yt of people submerging aegs for prolonged periods and then firing them fine, albiet the first few shots were clearing water out of the rif.

**S3V3R** · 18 April, 2012, 23:59

Re: Rainproofing AEGs

I used to just use shrink wrap and electrical tape on the connections... would also tape up the battery and deans connector if it was raining hard.
My old ARES EBR survived a dunk in a puddle because the electrics were insulated well enough... same cant be said for the aimpoint I was using

Re: Rainproofing AEGs

I really dont think you need to worry about a little rain.

Unless of course youre using a systema

in which case a spot of rain turns your PRO LEET TACTICOOL BESTEST AM GUN EVAR into a very expensive paperweight :P
