  1. And a lot airsofters of don't use full seal eye pro - referring to mesh, so don't take these anywhere near the sport.
  2. Just wondering, it's clearly not a much discussed topic (I'm sure there are reasons), and is certainly underhanded insofar as competing with UK businesses, That said, my general observation has been that even with taxes/duty the price of buying from the HK retailers tends to only come down to availability, shipping cost, shipping time, and cheapness(even when expecting to pay VAT/duty @ 1.25). I recently had a $500 order from HK, excellent stuff. A single store with the entire Flyye range, much better than 5-6 in the UK to get everything I wanted, at the time of ordering I factored in paying 1.25 for importing etc but it was still cheaper than the UK, and they had to restock some items too, but I was quite shocked when it was delivered with a marked value of 1/10th of what I paid and I pocketed £85 the govt was due. Edgy subject, I name no retailers! I said 'unfairly compete' in the title, but TBH they were cheaper even when I thought I would have to pay x1.25 on import.
  3. Worth adding that, despite the good rep, the VFC SCAR L has a proprietary hop chamber. I wanted to buy one, but was advised against it by a retailer. If not for this, I would have bought one. Next year once i've played around with a few guns I probably will buy one though.
  4. I'd add http://store.specwarfare.com/en/ to that list, I just received an order from them, I thought the prices($390 + $85 shipping) were good and they appear to have the entire flyye range.
  5. Whatever you think is going on here, it's not. I've been chilling with a movie and $400 of flyye gear that came this morning. Funnily enough of all the things I bought, the PC is the only thing I was not excited about, thankfully it was only $110 with foam plates and only added $3 to the postage. It's the one I want but I doubt i'll use it in this season. I do a lot of research, some say too much, but I assure you all that any care I took today, such as making the battery mobile and staying within a 1m of it at all times had nothing to do with me, and only to do with where I am living, care for others. I know you both mean well, unfortunately i've read comments by others saying the same thing 10s of times on other forums. Loz, I laughed at the mobile phone comment for that reason. (no hard feelings! but I am relaxed) Now to test my AEG.
  6. Yes, but I am not worried about a Lithium Ion battery, I have heard nothing bad about them. I didn't do it for my personal safety, if I was at home I might have even left the room a few times, but here I live with many other people, and the list of prohibited fire hazard items is huge. The building management take fire very very seriously. Don't mistake my being responsible, for being gullible.
  7. Haha, when one venue replaces another, there is not more choice Going to bunk 51 this weekend, I don't really want too, but I have to, for reasons.
  8. My phone does not have a LiPo battery. Besides, it's my first time, ... I'm not making this joke.
  9. Says on FB its 300x300 metres. But that could be hearsay (though it's from a Airborne Airsoft staff). I think that's 12 (3x4)football pitches - hope that means something to you - i've never seen one (except on tv) so I don't know.
  10. Where did you order from, I'm in need of a Chronograph. I'd like to order from not UK, as they don't appear to be on sale in the UK.
  11. What exactly is the problem? If something goes wrong and I need to do something about it, a frying pan is a perfect way to move the battery into the kitchen (where there are 2 fire extinguishers and 4 fire blankets and 3 windows). I mean obviously if it 'combusted' it wouldn't matter what it was in (I would have bought a safety bag - but I cannot discern the fakes). But if it just malfunctioned in a minor way, I could move it. It's been charging nearly 3 hours and I've not been less than 1m from it the whole time, I'm not irresponsible.
  12. Just started charging my first lipo - in a frying pan. It's this one: WE Airsoft Europe 7.4V 2600mAH 20C Crane Stock LiPO (LWA)
  13. Had first run in with poor EMERSON, G3 pants with kneepad pockets sewn shut. :/

      I'll post some if I cant RMA, but I'm not sure what they'd show. Looks like the stitching goes right through to a parallel line, I cant see a way to break just one.

      Retailer asked for a picture, when I pulled hard on the velcro (for the picture), I discovered they were not faulty, just they were more sophisticated than I expected.

  14. Flyye Gen 2 (3 rows of rear molle) arrived today, I like it more than I expected, ruined my hand's on the molle and the pouches, havent even taken the PC out of it's bag.

  15. Astigmatism was the issue specsavers lied to me about (years ago).
  16. I asked specsavers for contacts, they said I couldn't have them. They lied, they just did not stock the brand required for my condition. As I found out when I went to their competitor in our local town and never set foot there again. Never let someone tell you you can have something without a 2nd opinion.
  17. Thats helpful! I only went with the cheaper charger as I don't plan to buy any more AEGS.
  18. Actual licensing - but that would cost money, UKARA pays for and regulates itself (capitalist motivation lol) despite the fact that it is ultimately (so far at least) meaningless.
  19. I can't wait to get a tracer, going to make them BBs flash.
  20. You've created a Petition to remind the govt it exists? As if what's going on in scotland was not enough. Let's face it, we're all waiting to discover this petition was made by someone without understanding of UKARA's innate nature.
  21. I bought a charger, but I have not used it yet, sorry. No point (for me, as I know little too) until a day or so before the skirmish.
  22. I know exactly how you feel, I just bought my first AEG, and I ended up buying a 7.4 volt Lipo, after lots of different sites had conflicting information and the manufacturer's site was unhelpful, when it arrived it says 9.6 (non lipo) on the box. I found this helpful: youtube.com/watch?v=iTBWcBe8rJ4
