Hi guys, just to let you know there's a new moody scam attempt going on, appearing to target sellers & purporting to be from the forum itself, telling sellers their item has sold & to click on a link within the message to complete the sale. Seems to be originating from Russia, not sure what happens if the link is clicked, probably a trojan horse type virus to mine your info. Don't fall for it, obviously if you get one let us know so we can ban them immediately, here's a screenshot of the kind of text you'll receive:

Just heard from them. 👍

Hi guys, We're trying to organise a GBB only event at The Gaol Events. It is truly an amazing site. Minimum players required 30, We're trying to get as many players we can. Provisional date is the 21st June. This is a private event only and will require a password to book on. Details will be ironed out as we gather numbers. 👌🏻👍🏻 Feel free to pm me https://discord.gg/dwnQNxVZdb https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hd9rwKMEDQaGSUyGTnvfoE Rules for the events. GBB and NBB only (gas shotguns and MK23s) Extended mags are fine but no drum mags HPA tapped mags are ok, as long as they are the standard capacity for the mag Additionally HPA tapped rifles (such as the VFC M249) will be allowed NO HPA ADAPTORS (just the mags intended for the gun) Spring shotgun allowed as back up. Snipers allowed gas preferred but spring allowed. (Site dependant) To keep to the spirit and nature of owning a GBB were trying to keep this a somewhat tactical game day, so please no speedsoft. Keep in mind if you turn up with nothing but an AEG or any other rif that does not conform to the rules. You will be turned away. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

I’ve been building this loadout for some time and here is how it looks. 🙂‍↕️

Genuine seller, y'know.. 👀

Each to their own but to me these type of guns will always be known as ‘speedwanker guns’.

600 ish without reg line bottle ? 675 with reg line bottle ? obviously regulator/bottle brand dependant

I would start by shimming the guide rod so the slide has less to travel. If this improves the snappiness remove the shims, chuck a heaver recoil spring in and up the PSI of the gas to something like 220 (Vorsk V12 is nice and dry) and should be gravy.

It is for sale for a mere £900. https://prefired.co.uk/ads/arc-1-hpa-rifle/

As an STR stock enjoyer, you won't fit any half decent battery in the "storage" parts of the stock. As mentioned above you'll be limited to something that fits in the stock tube, additionally, they're like rocking horse poop in the airsoft realm unless you spunk the cash on a real one. The pistol grip...there are some half decent ones by E&C if you can find them in stock, the old PTS Magpul kit is in the realms of scouring ebay as they are LOOONG out of production. The PTS EPG grips are sort of reminiscent of them but they're not really that close. Decent grips though.

Avoiding a lifestyle that attracts a police raid helps too I had a lot of mine at a mates for sometime (locked up), and the local bobby was warned off to be aware in case an AK47 hit the streets as a result of a burglary I have once had a police stop and opened with telling them what was in my car boot - which turned into an interested positive chat

Tbh my 27yo son has his guns in a locker under his bed, but batteries/gas/BBs are under lock & key in the garage, which in itself has extra security due to my bikes/tools etc being in there. Don't think you can ever be too careful.

Just to clarify... This is a new scam right?

Just picked up an ARES AR308M. It's beautiful.

I have the HDR50 (and HDR68) It is (they are) fun - I do like revolvers and due to there having been only a couple of old school retail and custom revolvers so when a 3D printed kit came out I converted an airgun to paintball. Then an original old school paintball revolver became available so I bought that too ….. and then Umarex brought out the HDR50 - a non standards paintball calibre and I’d have preferred a 68 version but as there wasn’t I had to have it ….. and then they brought out the HDR68 ….. I do like revolvers and I’ve got quite a few The Umarexs are not adjustable, and as originally produced for ‘Home defence’ they pretty much run as the CO2 12 gram will let them. Two (or three) editions are available in most of the Umarex HDR ranges - the mid or lower power rated ones are the maximum for the UK If used as paintball pistols with frangible paintballs then (under current Home Office guidelines) then they are UK legal up to 12ft lbs If used as air pistols with any other projectiles (rubber balls etc) then they need to be within 6ft lbs My HDR 68 shoots hot on a fresh 12 gram (330fps - which could be within the legal energy limit depending on paintball weight, but well in excess of playable velocity, and dropped to 115fps before drastically falling as it empties) Its not trustworthy enough to be playable (280fps or 280fps would be playable velocity limits), and if loaded with rubber balls etc well exceeds the airpistol limit of 6ft lbs) The HDR50 would be paintball playable depending on site rules, (the lower mass meaning less energy per FPS, but rules are likely to still be 250-280fps) I haven’t noted down my test velocities to be able to say where it would be as an airpistol (Note that the full design standard for paintball goggles not only covers lens impact but also sets that any part of the goggle/any direction of impact is up to 300fps - site insurance will require adhesion to standards, therefore a site that allows lower calibres to use a higher velocity may not be paying attention) @TackleI know that you won’t need to be told, but for the record and any others who read this …… Never have a paintball type gun in an accessible manner with solid projectiles and/or CO2, and especially not in bedside drawers. The police get excited when they find those

Thank you I was pretty suspicious Thanks for your help 👍👍

Morning. No, not normal. Scam. This site (and prefired, usedairsoft, airsofthub etc) don't have an escrow service so always pay/get paid by the buyer or seller directly.

When I've needed a WOW react as I can't give a 'careful now' and laugh.... That sounds intense, but hey, if it helps defend the chooks

Thanks mate. Think I may have explained this wrong. So, the gun actually fires. The problem is the bb’s are not feeding in and so they’re not firing out. My son says after inserting the magazine the gun fired one, maybe two bb’s then none. Im thinking it’s something to do with the part I’ve pictured that is at an angle. But need this confirmed if possible.

So he mouthed off big time about how he was a good seller then sent a damaged rif to a buyer? Oh dear. He’s looking great now isn’t he? Glad he refunded.

A purple people popper.

Very gas efficient. I went through 8 "Oreos" of BBs and it ran out of CO2 on the 9th. I was able to lift 0.28g BBs on a 20m range when I tweaked the hop-up. Apparently with Gen 1, you will struggle to lift more than 0.25g to the same distance.

That aged well 🤣

all sorted the lad has refunded. And no the gun was well packaged in a Glock gun box rather than cardboard box etc so was impossible to be damaged during transport

Battery will need to go in the stock tube with whatever Magpul stock you decide on , unless you get creative and start modifying things . a standard MOE grip will not fit , due to the motor arrangement and fixing points , you’d be better off with an AEG specific PTS grip .

Even if it wasn't damaged prior to shipping, the seller has a contract with whoever he shipped it with, it's his responsibility to initiate a claim with them. In turn, you need to start a dispute with PayPal to get your money back, or an agreed partial refund. So you may need to return it, but whatever happens never stop the dispute until it's completely resolved & the moneys in your bank.

Let us know what they're like. I sweat like a paedophile in Mothercare when I wear a helmet so anything to make life better is good!

Not this one anymore 🤣

Another set of non compliant goggles / eye protection identified by site staff I know that I’m preaching to the converted, but keep your eyes out for new players with their ‘nice cheap’ Temu/AliExpress/eBay goggles Observant site staff noted these ones https://www.facebook.com/share/12CBYwpEZa8/?mibextid=WC7FNe

The draw from Paintball back in the day was the realism of the toys used combined with almost losing them back in 2007 makes this stuff almost sacrileges for me.

Looking for thoughts from people.. Purchased Glock 17 gen 5 from forum. It’s arrived and it’s damaged (see pictures)seller is saying it wasn’t damaged prior to sending so refusing to refund. cant check the original add as its been taken down and owner said he doesn’t have the pictures he took for the advert. anyway this can be reviewed by an admin as there will be a lot of all posts with pictures etc. should seller refund or is this now my risk as he’s saying I could of dropped it? kept sellers name out for now as only fair. he did say I could return it but now saying he won’t. Thanks
