Slander and defamation for asking about a safety rating, really? This bloke needs to get his head out his arse. I think he will be pissing in the wind if he thinks that will work. What a tool

 
Suffice to say great work for catching it, raising awareness and to all that have acted on insisting some proof of safety standard is provided until sales can continue.

If you want to peddle 'custom made' wank to anyone daft enough to buy it then I guess more the fool them. But safety equipment is where a pretty firm line needs to be drawn. Grumpy old twats as we may be, excellent work folks.

 
Can't find him, not helped that I "un-liked" a load of airsoft groups on there a while back, can't be arsed to rejoin them just to rip this twat a new one

If someone wants to 3D print parts and accessories, knock-up some Kydex holsters, or try their hand at a sewing some chest rigs - great, no problem. If they are shit, people will only whinge about them should they fail in any way.

But critical safety equipment? Good god no.

By the way, IPSAR stands for 'iPhone Sales And Repairs'. I'm guessing that's his day job. Why he would use that name for his airsoft shenanigans is beyond me.

Absolutely spot on. Someone might loose a mag due to dodgy stitching on a pouch or a rifle might drop due to a Chinesium buckle. 

Somebody getting eye damage is a different story.  

 
I'm assuming a private group? Shame, the microwave popcorn just pinged

They can be quite brutal.

Definitely more edgy than your more 'normal' Airsoft FB group.

Mr Negative Airsoft himself is one of the Admin.

To clarify a couple of things, James (snake oil merchant) posted to a group before I posted the same screen shots. 

The Airsoft Rants And Bants Society is a (sometimes) breather from the normal posts that appear on other groups.

His helmet made it to the arabs group and I have added a little there. What James doesn't get, is that should he have provided the info it wouldn't have got to this. I haven't posted anything he already hasn't. All of his posts, as mentioned get comments turned off quickly. Or indeed as he posts them. 

A little later when I get a keyboard in front of me I shall be responding to his latest message.

From the way he’s spoken to you it’s blatantly obvious he hasn’t a clue how selling goods to the public works Ref safety of said product ?

So, I did get the chance to tap out a response from his latest message that was mostly threats. I wont waste too much space, my final comment was 'you can always block me.' 

Turns out he has! No sleep lost

ahh, yes i can see how this would be a popcorn moment.

private page? only link on google is for italian facebook for some reason

 
Don't trust your eyes to anything but the top brands that have been around for years in the eye pro game and are thoroughly vetted and proven - literally just do not touch anything else.  That's all folks have gotta do, and you can almost always get mil issue eye pro of some kind on ebay for not much money.

I've said it before, I'll keep saying it and it disappoints me that I don't see this said more often in various online places that airsofters frequent.  It's so mind-bogglingly easy to just not get your eyes shot out by making shit choices.
