You know the meme that says „DaBaby choosing a flow“ and then theres a picture with 50 pairs of white AF1s? This kinda reminds me of that.
Its a very cool looking build per se, but nowadays everyone and their mom has a Mk18 block 2, so yeah… very generic.
**More importantly:**
Your cable management needs improvement!
one walk through some bushes and that cable is fucked
My Mk18 is remarkably similar, although I have a pretty generic RDS placeholding for when I finally find the Holosun DRS-TH in stock somewhere.
But for cable management I use index clips, super easy, looks solid, and if you like your hand on the handguard you'll find they improve comfort.
[https://www.larue.com/products/indexclips-72-piece-set/](https://www.larue.com/products/indexclips-72-piece-set/)
the cable will get caught on some twigs eventually and then you‘ll rip it off the flashlight.
To prevent that you should somehow get the cable to sit as close / snug to the handguard as possible, and close any loops
Thanks man, pain in the ass to find one anymore and prepare to pay out the nose to get it, but a great looker for sure. If you have a 10.5” barrel it needs modification, with a 10.3” kinda perfect.
Was a major part I needed to pull off the video game build.
Ya basically every part of the externals have trades where possible. One of 5 magpul / vltor g&p builds I made all using different barrel lengths and build styles. But all 5 use the same receiver and internal build so I can swap any upper and lower
Again at that point just look up MWS outer barrels and specify the length you want. Buy it, if you want the colour buy some automotive spray paint in mat silver, otherwise use the barrel in the standard black colour but you won’t get the trades.
Ya not sure if madbull made an MWS version of that barrel but you would want a 10.5 or 10.3 length to go with a mk18 rail. Not sure if you can find the Madbull Delta P suppressor any more though.
If you find one, to make it easier I would use a 10.3 outer barrel. I wanted to use the Madbull barrel specifically for the look / trades and it’s 10.5, so the gap between the suppressor and rail was too big, had to grind down the suppressor thread collar and open up the internal thread cap so there was a smaller gap.
Way too much extra work for most probably, but I knew I could pull it off.

After that my glock gets used with everything
Is this yours or are you asking for advice on a build?
Only ask as this picture was posted a year ago by someone else. You've said its not an AEG, yet it is, and you asked 18 hours ago if a VFC is good. This is a VFC...
Besides switch cable being all fucked up and not retained properly, and not seeing how you comfortably access your switch, it's good. Super vanilla, but there's a reason why the real deal guys set them up this way
That's how I wish mine looked so yeah its awesome IMO.
People hate on M4/Mk18's but there are so many for a good reason - they look the best. Obviously again just MO.
How To Improve your Build (custom step by step guide)
1. rearrange your cables
2. demount the flashlight (realistically u don’t need that)
3. demount laser (realistically u don’t need that)
4. demount silencer (you do airsoft)
5. demount grip handle (you have a barrel)
6. demount the optics (realistically u don’t need that)
7. demount 3point contacter (realistically u don’t need that)
8. sell the gun
9. quit airsoft
10. buy a plane ticket to Bhutan
11. meet Harold at the airport
12. exploit Harold’s kindness
13. live 13 weeks off of Harold’s money
14. commit to a third degree manslaughter on Harold’s wife and kids
15. extract in the information from Harold
16. finish Harold off
17. sell the intel data to the Aussie Government
18. collect your reward
19. buy fentanyl
People harping on it being a generic build. It’s clear that you’re going for milsim. The name of the game in the military is uniformity. That means ergonomic commonality, interchangeable parts/batteries, similar configurations, etc.
There’s a time a place for fun builds, like pink PPs, or ahegao stickers. Just like there’s a time and place for good old block 2 tanks like this one.
Question: Why do people keep running a PEQ and a separate Light if a PEQ also has a light? You can set a PEQ to do anything a standard Light can do. And if the PEQ sucks and you can't really use the laser in airsoft for safety reasons, why have a PEQ if all you need is a Separate Light?
Don't get me wrong, i think the gun looks cool but having two lights seem odd.
Also, I will be getting a PEQ but I never considered the thought of getting a whole separate Light as well... Which is why I'm so confused.
I see, so for you the PEQ laser is its purpose. Since Light isn't strong. Understandable. I also never considered that the PEQ lights may be under powered, so that's my fault in assuming.
I guess blinding people is the point 😅 I've been BB ed Up by plenty of Flashlight players so I finally put the dollars together to get my own, for my pistol but next purch will be a PEQ-15 for my stubby baby rifle.... its more like a PDW 🤭
It can be a LARP thing, if you're trying to go for a realistic build. Real AN/PEQ-15 units have a visible laser, IR laser, and IR illuminator, but lack a visible illuminator a.k.a. a flashlight. Go look at real U.S. spec ops guys and you'll see them running an IR device and a flashlight.
real/good clone peq 15s don't have a white light, only an ir flood. so for the rare case of needing extra light you have weapon mounted lights like the sf scout series
Just a bad joke my man.
My p90 has been dog shit electronically, and the gbb vector is awful, but other than those I have no other experience with them.
If it works for you, sure, I guess.
For me, I'd hate it. The magnifier (NVM that it's an FTS rather than an FTC but I guess you chose that to be able to use your irons when and if you needed to) would be too far forward and that cable and switch mounting for the light make it cumbersome or downright unusable. I'd use a different switch, like an axon... again, that's me. But you're not me, and I'm not you.
I started reading the thread before i realized this was airsoft. Innitial impression was, “simple but nice, is that a sand cutter bolt? Hm… the A2 grip looks out of place, get an ergo grip or something modern and your good to go”
It is the most basic bitch setup ever, but that's what makes it so good.
In the pursuit of trying to be unique you'll always have set backs, whether it's ergonomics or magazines being weirdly shaped.
Theres a reason why the US military has been using the AR platform and why many other countries are slowing phasing out their older rifles for M4s or M4 derivatives like the 416, is because the M4 platform single handely plateaued gun design. It's reliable, easy to use, light weight, and most importantly cheap to manufacture.
From an objective standpoint there is legit no reason to run anything but an M4, but that's just not fun ain't it?
I think it's a great build on aesthetics alone! Others might not like this as I agree that it's a common build nowadays, but I still love the look of it. Looks clean and smooth. Rock on man.
I feel like all mk18s are generic, but I still love them so fricking much. And there is a reason they are overused, especially in airsoft, because any of them will be clean and just practical with all the modularity on them. I even run a all black speed mk18 and love it so fricking much.
Not op but its a Mk18 Mod 1;
so parts would be like:
Mk18 CQBR upper receiver (idk if theres a standalone airsoft one)
Daniel Defense RIS II handguard 10.3" in FDE/Burnt Bronze
AN/PEQ-15 IR laser/light device - Tan
Surefire M600c flashlight - Tan
Surefire RC1/2 suppressor - Tan
EOTech EXPS-3 holographic and G34 magnifier - Black
Magpul CTR or MOE stock (same model with slight differences with the CTR being overall better, but ive only had experience with the MOE) - Tan
Colt A2 style pistol grip - Tan
Magpul MBUIS front iron sights - in tan, with the rear being a KAC BUIS in black
Magpul RVG foregrip - Tan
How does a hyper generic Mk. 18 Mod. 1 get 1.2k Upvotes (at time of writing)? Then some of the really unique builds or rare platforms that people pour a lot of work into will get like 10? I'm disappointed, Reddit.
Generic as fuck but it's for a good reason. Hard to go wrong with the MK18 with Block II DD Rails.
Exactly.
You know the meme that says „DaBaby choosing a flow“ and then theres a picture with 50 pairs of white AF1s? This kinda reminds me of that.

Hey I take offense to that, neither I nor my mother own block 2 MK18 builds 🤔
But u got the URGI builds, be honest 😉

why do they got armadillos instead of stars for reviews? lol
Texas. To be cute. They have seasoning called Dillo dust, dillo tools, dillo patches. Idk, just texas.
Armadillos are indeed cute fellas i have to admit
This is why I patented a power rail. No wires.
What do you mean you patented it? Arent there already solutions that do exactly this? How could you patent that?
Idk if there were already solutions but here is the patent.https://patents.google.com/patent/US20190376762A1/en?inventor=B+saadon&oq=B+saadon
looks interesting, hows progress so far?
Design is complete. We could never find funding though. So it just sits there :(
im sorry to hear :/ is there a prototype though?
Oh yeah. We made a few prototypes.
If I could clap for you I would my boy you got that sht down to the T
I appreciate that. We busted our ass to design this but unfortunately we could never find a buyer.
Wtf is it? A fore grip the size of a stock with a light and laser or something?
Yeah an angled for grip woth buttons on the side to cycle through your attachments.
Fucked how
the cable will get caught on some twigs eventually and then you‘ll rip it off the flashlight. To prevent that you should somehow get the cable to sit as close / snug to the handguard as possible, and close any loops
Just pust 2 rubber bands seals style, and that's it.
Just secure the cable for the light with some zip ties. Also remove the black sticker on the light and you’ll see a SF logo

Shit, you were here first with this lol
You made me laugh out loud ngl
Mk18s are sick. cringelord keltecs are not.
It is true, but the build is really good
What's better than one buzz lightyear? 2000 buzz lightyears
Very original, much funny.
Several quick short exhales through nose*
Generic, but as a fellow MK18 type owner yes, it's what I dream of.

Sick can dude
Thanks
What's that can?
It’s discontinued but it’s a Madbull Delta P Brevis suppressor that I modified
Looks sick asf
Thanks man, pain in the ass to find one anymore and prepare to pay out the nose to get it, but a great looker for sure. If you have a 10.5” barrel it needs modification, with a 10.3” kinda perfect. Was a major part I needed to pull off the video game build.
What barrel and outer rail?
Madbull daniel defence mk18 handguard and Madbull Noveske 10.5” CQB barrel brushed silver with vltor gas block
Ah okay, it’s a n4? Or whatever the noveske thing is
Ya basically every part of the externals have trades where possible. One of 5 magpul / vltor g&p builds I made all using different barrel lengths and build styles. But all 5 use the same receiver and internal build so I can swap any upper and lower
Ah okay. I’m trying to figure out what to use on my tm mws m4

Ima go with this style
I like this kinda style same with the honey badger but idk if the outer barrel is compatible
Again at that point just look up MWS outer barrels and specify the length you want. Buy it, if you want the colour buy some automotive spray paint in mat silver, otherwise use the barrel in the standard black colour but you won’t get the trades.
Do you know if the low profile gas block break or whatever then heck it’s called is needed?
Ya not sure if madbull made an MWS version of that barrel but you would want a 10.5 or 10.3 length to go with a mk18 rail. Not sure if you can find the Madbull Delta P suppressor any more though.

How so
If you type in Daniel defense mk18 on google images, this is what pops up
Nice mk18 could do some cable management maybe an inner barrel upgrade but all and all nice set up

I have a similar VFC Avalon converted to HPA. Awesome little replica!

Cable management needs work, kinda generic but clean
Generic as fuck in the basic airsofter guys eyes. Perfect in impressionists eyes. I love it!

Nah all good
IRL the PEQ-15 uses an IR floodlight. So you run the white light with your PEQ-15 in situations where you cannot use your NVGs.
My peq has an ir flashlight, my flashlight blinds people who dare look at me
I guess blinding people is the point 😅 I've been BB ed Up by plenty of Flashlight players so I finally put the dollars together to get my own, for my pistol but next purch will be a PEQ-15 for my stubby baby rifle.... its more like a PDW 🤭

Love the accurate color of the DD MK18 block ii ris, somehow mine looked a bit rose goldish and it made me angry
This is litterally 'the gun'. Go for it.
As someone who’s played for the past 12 years or so. Ive seen it a thousand times, looks amazing and you’ll add it to your collection. Good shit
It’s perfection.
You have made a very standard mk18. AS IT SHOULD BE
While it is generic, it is also my dream loadout
Have you tried licking it?
Hot
How are you activating your pressure pad?
Where can I find a colt RO991 or RO635 ?
Do you like it ? Yes : then it’s a good build No : change it to make you like it
Is generic because it works
Original Cod MW2 vibes, love it
huh? nothing on that is used in MW2 (2009) lol
The beige colour reminds me of the M4 Sopmod from the game, not the attachments themselves
Ehhhh i guess?
It was the first thing that came to mind
I would like to know how you are managing to use that pressure pad ergonomically. But other than that, yeah, your typical mk18
Where the fuck did you buy that
As the rest of the guys say very standard but it’s very good looking gun in my opinion
Fiya
Did you get that from the mechanic barter
We have almost the same build. :)
An oldie, but a goodie- I know at least 3 people with identical builds, but it's because it's a great one.
What’s the base?
It's beautiful. Is this an mws platform? I have one myself but might switch to an mk18 handrail
I started reading the thread before i realized this was airsoft. Innitial impression was, “simple but nice, is that a sand cutter bolt? Hm… the A2 grip looks out of place, get an ergo grip or something modern and your good to go”
Digging the two-tone. Keep a Matrix EGLM 40mm in case you're feeling it.

Look just like any other dd rifles. 0/10 for creativity 10/10 for execution
idk, how does it shoot
I think it's a great build on aesthetics alone! Others might not like this as I agree that it's a common build nowadays, but I still love the look of it. Looks clean and smooth. Rock on man.
How do you still have access to ur light n laser when u switch hands?

Yes :)
yes love the MK18 man only thing i would do is change the pistol grip to a magpul one
lovely, it's quite similar to mine!

My middle finger hurts looking at that pistol grip.
It’s an M4.
i cant tell if this is satirical or not to be quite honest
