Re: pimped or simple
Performance/reliability mods only.
Know all those chaved up cars you see floating about? Stick on tack everywhere? Well to me thats whats pimped guns look like. Anything that isn't there for a function is a waste of space IMO.

Re: pimped or simple
I agree some guns should be left alone. Ive pimped my M4 but tbh most of the things on there, are there for practical reason too. For example I have a tango down vertgrip for a steadier aim, but also found at CQB sites I tend to hold the magwell so i have a magwell grip too. I dont have optics/scopes anymore as I rarely used them for aiming. However I do use iron sights to aim alot so I bought a decent set of battle sights.

Re: pimped or simple

Re: pimped or simple
Most people may already know my answer, but it's gotta be tasteful and have a purpose.
Example, putting X amount of accessories on a gun can make it look good, but it's also gotta have a purpose. Having things on there JUST for the sake of having them can make guns look worse.
Same goes for plating and engraving. You can engrave or plate any gun, but do it wrong and it'll ruin it. Spraying a plastic gun a silver dull colour as opposed to chrome polishing a metal one to a mirror finish will always make it look terrible.

Re: pimped or simple
I'd go with simple. But my idea of simple is either:
What it comes out of the box like,
OR
The perfect amount of additions for you to play.
As such, my M4 has just an Elcan Scope (bought myself), a grip, silencer, and readymag all of which came with the gun. So it's not really "Pimped".
I personally don't think a laser is useful. Torch, maybe, but I've never found the need to use one, so my Maglite stays in my pocket mostly. I think some people take things too far with their guns. In my personal opinion, most of the time anyways, when people start using military grade stuff it's pimping gone too far. Your beloved airsoft gun is NOT going to shoot far enough to warrant your real steel ACOG. Your gun is NOT accurate enough to warrant that real steel EOTech. And your team is usually NOT hardcore enough to warrant your wonderful real steel PEQ with all the singing and dancing features that real soldiers need.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should...

Re: pimped or simple
Depends on the guns
Aks should be left normal as for mp5's just a aimpoint/redot sight
m4's armalites pimped out tac lights lazers acogs
also depends on the type of game play senario what my guns are set up like :D

Re: pimped or simple
All dependant on the gun i'd say. Like AK for example is beautiful as it is. No need for any extras. However a plain jane M4 doesn't look so good in my eyes.

Re: pimped or simple
As has been mentioned above, pimping a weapon only really suits an M4, Masada or Scar IMO and I prefer the look of my M4 with rails, a torch, grip and scope. (I only use a PEQ box because I have to for battery storage)
But, each to their own. Depends what works for you ultimately.

Re: pimped or simple
Simple question simple answer. Some guns suit it some don't. For me I pimp everything due to the fact I only have a taste for guns which suit it. I don't like things like Aks, M14s etc I like the M4s, Scars, Masadas and so on. So simple, add what you need leave off what you don't and keep the likes of AKs out of my armory!

Re: pimped or simple
Pimped. Always pimped.
My L85 has been pimped, inside and out. I think its tasteful, purists will disagree. Watch me care....
Ive even pimped my bros AK (but not the outside). played around with the internals, Shifted a truck load of weight around but without changing how it looks or its stability. It plays like a completely different gun. It's miles better.
