    Bout time I get a proper AK! Wolf Armouries knocked this E&L out for £220. They have the PMC one for only £215 as well which is an absolute bargain for E&L spec.

    The new German Tropentarn Loadout. G36 specific Mag pouches, AG36 equipped G36E. Its a fairly heavyweight loadout, but I used it for most of the day without issue.

    Probably didnt attach the tappet plate to the air nozzle. Or tappet plate spring. Look into the magwell where the BBs go into and pull the trigger. Do you see the nozzle moving back and forth?

    We'll need other photos. Bottom of the pistol grip is where a HPA line usually goes. But yes this looks like an AEG. 
     
    If it is HPA you also need to purchase an air bottle, line and regulator and probably some other bits and peices.

    Just compress both springs in your hands. The one that's harder to do is the more powerful one.

    I am not sure what you mean? All AEGS use a gearbox. M4's were not the first ones to use one anyway. There are different versions of the gearbox, but most of them work with the exact same principles between them.
     
    M4's use a version 2 gearbox as does Mp5's. The UMP you linked to uses a version 3 as does AK's and G36s.

    Another pair of Tropentarn trousers after ripping my brand new slightly too small pair in the crotch area with my sword like appendage. 
     
    Gonna turn the old ones into a pair of shorts with a gusset to prevent it happening again.

    So not only are you trying to import without an easily provable valid defense, but you also want to commit Customs fraud? That wouldn't look great on the sport of Airsoft does it?

    A valid UKARA needs to be written on the box of anything you import so that if customs find it in a random search, you can get it released easily. If you cant prove a valid defense the rifle can be destroyed and you in hot water legally. (Possible fine or sentence.)
     
    UKARA is the one provable method of a defense that Border Force recognise and has a form of access to.
     
    Read what happened to me and I was lucky enough to have a UKARA number on the box and could insist on them checking it as proof of my defense.

    Gifting in that sense is when someone who has a provable defense such as a UKARA, literally gives you something for free. No money can change hands, so you cant give them money and then they purchase something and gift it to you. 
     
    Stop trying to find ways around it that go against the spirit of the regs, it's blindingly obvious what you are trying to do. Get your UKARA so you dont have to take any risks with importing and not bringing Airsoft into disrepute.
     
    Whats so hard in that? It's not even hard to get.

    I would have asked exactly the same questions that he has asked. It's not hostility at all, its just some basic questions to gauge the background, quality and value of your BB's. If you feel that its "Hostile" It looks to me that you don't want to share that information for some reason, maybe because we wont like the answer? To others it seems like you might be Gaslighting.
     
     Another "New bb brand" has come out recently who claim its "special formulations". But is actually just off the shelf PJ/BLS. So asking who your OEM is, is a perfectly legitimate question.
     
    The price is fairly competitive, but I want to know whether I am getting PJ, BLS or other BB's. Guessing by your price point they would be PJ/Goldenballs or possibly Javelin OEM.
     
    Why should I buy your BB's over the OEM ones that are likely cheaper? We are skeptical because Airsoft is rife with brands that don't actually make any of their own product, but buy from an OEM, slap a brand on it and call it the next best thing whilst giving out free samples to people who feel compelled to write a good review. 
     
    So please, by all means front up your product and tell us some compelling reasons to purchase.
     
    EDIT: I think the packaging label screams a little bit "Cheap" to me. I would personally have gone for a slicker packaging that doesn't include a graphic like that. Look at some other BB manufacturers packaging, much simpler and oozes more of a professional vibe. Having .30 BB's at that price point in the UK fills a little bit of a niche as I have to import BB's for that sort of price at that weight. Will your price stay they same when the EU transition period ends?
     
    I would be happy to test out a pack of these as a comparison to my other cheap BB suppliers.

    Which OEM are you using, which other brands of the exact same BBs from the exact same factory are you competing against, and how are you pricing your rebranding against theirs?

    To back up Al's comments. My wife is a Secondary school teacher for a state school in one of the richest boroughs in London, I used to work there and it's in fact where we met. It is based in the middle of one of the few council estates left in the borough that hasn't been bulldozed for private housing. My wife has had to put hand in pocket to give kids food often. When it is the holidays they still get over 50 kids in to school every day to have a free lunch or else they go without. Roughly half are single parent families. The other half are kids with both parents working but still cant afford to feed their children because of crippling private rents and bills. This shouldn't happen in a country that is one of the top 10 richest in the world. When I worked there we had the ambulance call out twice one term due to a kid collapsing due to malnutrition. 
     
    The majority of parents are good parents who don't have any other place to turn. Poverty doesn't necessarily turn you into a criminal. But it sure as hell makes it more likely through necessity. 
     
    Sadly for the past few years schools and teachers have been plastering over the cracks of our society failing our children to no reward and no end in sight.
