    Public webbing walk?

    Come to think of it, anything you carry with a rig like that is going to look suspicious no matter what. The number of pockets is over the legal limit.

    Does a battery increase FPS?

    You are right, that is not how it works. And no, pulling the spring faster does not add compression, at least not until you reach pull velocities faster than it can return which is physically impossible in an AEG. Yeah, tappet plate timing is the only explanation.

    Public webbing walk?

    "Looking geared up with bullets and grenades" per se may not be illegal, but if you do it in the right/wrong place, at the right/wrong time, seen by the right/wrong person, it could be a Public Order Act 1986 Section 5 offence isn't it. It also makes you immediately identifiable as a suspect of...

    Any ideas what's required to run a one off site?

    ISO 4980:2023 can be useful

    Any ideas what's required to run a one off site?

    A carefully written waiver can be useful, if only just to record the participants are informed of and acknowledge the risks involved. A private game with some friends of friends is really no different than any other game run by an actual commercial site, the only difference is, you are...

    Customs police came to my home

    Some preliminary research. Perhaps not precisely down to every detail, but should be the outline of how it goes. 1. Skimming through some gov.uk pages it seems carriers use something called a Customs Declaration Service (CDS) electronic system to do declarations. This is what UPS uses...

    The worst can always happen, which is why you want to minimise its chances. If for any reason, in a near-impossible event where you get charged for the VRCA import, you can say, you provided a defence, and they didn't check it!

    Customs police came to my home

    Ok, if UPS (or other couriers) are the ones checking for defence and seizing parcels  (can UPS connect to UKARA database?), surely all the more reason to pre-attach the declaration form. Because that declaration form has the defence. And if, for any reason, the pre-attached declaration was...

    Customs police came to my home

    First, you gotta stop that condescending tone of yours. Second, I think you could have well made this up, do you work there? Do you have source? Thirdly, that is besides the point, you still want to stick the declaration on the parcel, so it won't get missed, by anyone. Your entire argument...

    Customs police came to my home

    I meant a big warning label, one similar to those "FRAGILE" or "THIS WAY UP" or other supposedly easy to see labels. Although the precise wording is still up for debate. "Pro-forma" RIF declaration: There is a UPS version of RIF declaration form somewhere in this forum you can search for it. I...

    Wolf Armouries selling up?

    What even are you on about? Someone acting on behalf of another person doesn't mean they are the same person. Customs agents are not the one seizing your parcel. I get you are mad about UPS. Which is fine. I am not saying UPS is good either.

    Gears and motor

    adjusted motor height? should explain why it works when you pop'd back the old motor in, the height may be adjusted for the old motor but not the new motor.

    Customs agents are not customs. And if UPS has a habit of fucking up, all the more reason to tell the seller to attach the declaration from the get go.

    The method is carrier-agnostic because it doesn't matter who is the courier, the parcel has to go through customs at some point. Having the seller print it out is the best way to make sure it stays declared all the way. At no point in time customs can get spooked by an undeclared gun shaped object.
