rj1986

I mean it's close, but more like £400 close, not £1200

Apparently the DE version was mostly snapped up by the staff in TaiwanGun, so make of that what you will. As mentioned above, the Cyma version is basically proprietary as the t8 system is a MWS copy, but not a direct copy, so the DE seems to be the winner

As it's a first gen VFC, I might wait until they work out the bugs in it, or it gets reversed engineered parts.

7x L85/L86 highly accurate replicas...and a 2 tone.

Managed to find one on discord - about 2 weeks after i missed one on discord as well. I've given up on ever finding a p90 though - they're going for about £600 2nd hand in Japan if you can find one. If they did a re-run or a mark 2, they would sell out instantly i reckon.

Refresh my memory - is the 200rnd hard case "mag" actually just a giant green gas source that you fill normally?

Out of shot, the landyard is connected to £200

So I bought something super Gucci - Crye AVS in Coyote And something not so Gucci…

I was at both days, one as a seller and one seller/player. Not really much to add from Galvatron's post - some decent kit for sale - about 20 or so car booters, and about a dozen shops with sales or deals on. It's not as big as the midlands carboot (which is not in the midlands anymore) but some decent deals going if you're just looking for something to take your fancy. However, it was noticeably bigger than 2022, and the carboot was located in a much better place so more people could view the stalls. As fr the airsoft side of things, pretty much a normal day but with more vehicles. I've played that site quite a few times so might just be a bit bored of it so maybe a break is needed.

CRW (thats a name some haven't heard in a while) are doing10% over a £200 spend. They are now also UK based https://www.crw-airsoft.com/

That would be ok in my books… if a massive TM shipment from Japan didn’t just land at pretty much every retailer in the UK. Which it did.

Yep, I've got the KJW m700 and the modelworks m40 kit. The only other gas m40 i know of is the VFC but that's an a5 barrel. But there might be some like 1990's build that there's only 9 of in existence.

I've had one in my cupboard for about 8 years now. Haven't run it in about 7.5 years as the aftermarket hop nub (spartan doctrine IIRC) isn't square. Might actually get round to getting the AAC version and using it

Maybe he needs the £2k for laser eye surgery. I mean, looking at that thing, it seems to add up.

I really wanted a LD mk48 - i like LMGs and the such, but after reading reviews on it, it seem very much like an early gen VFC aeg. Gorgeous externals, well built and put together, but the insides made of aldi own brand soft cheese. I know DCA are taking over that bit for the new model, so fingers crossed. I would love a modern m240

Slight impulse buy so look out for some stuff in the classifieds soon. Does feel a bit plasticky compared to other TM pistols, but it doesn’t matter as it’s never getting fired

When you two tone anything, including a WA2000 https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/airsoft-job-lot-offers-welcome_i47678

For most films, it's passable. For films like John Wick, it wouldn't work - but films like that have more stringent H&S checks in place due to the nature of the choreography. And as i work in CGI/VFX, spotting fake or poorly done muzzle flash, shell ejection and the like can ruin a film. Like those Sky made action films - they look dreadful (among many other bad things about them). Edit: Also, after spending time on set with replica and prop firearms - the armorers i've worked with would blow a bollock if they were on that Rust set. It's annoying that 2 people not following the rules cast shade on the whole profession. Imagine if they banned train drivers after a rail accident - hyperbole, yes, but a whole industry and profession shouldn't have to change because 2 people didn't follow standard, strict rules. 2nd edit: Also the knock on effect - VFX ain't cheap. So the budget comes from somewhere. The studio pockets (lol), or the VFX budget. Which means corners get cut, artists get squeezed and underpaid, or it gets outsourced to India. They always saying "fix it in post" when people in post always say "Get it in camera".

After the Baldwin on set accident,I've read that some studios are going to replica's and prop guns to avoid anything else happening. So expect to see a lot more CGI muzzle flash and case ejection, as well as hicaps and feed lips. Not sure i agree with it, as the Baldwin shooting was breaking many many rules and should've been avoided
