Firstly why are you using a Tamiya connector with a 11.1v LiPo??? They are not good for a decent connection. Use Deans or XT The key to soldering is using flux which helps the solder flow but I understand you might not want to buy some just for occasional use. Using 11.1v means a lot of power (relatively of course) so I suggest re-heating the welds until it all melts together properly and doesn't have blobs sticking out. You can hold the iron on for 10-20seconds to get things heated properly (hold the plug with pliers) Its also important to insulate each connection properly because if they touch you'll get a fire or explosion. Shrink wrap tubing is cheap and easy to use (remember to put the piece on before soldering)

Make sure the hop rubber is clean and oil free. I'd use Isopropyl alcohol but you can use soapy water. Easier if you remove it of course and you can check the hop arm is working correctly at the same time.

Just to reiterate, BBs dropping out when removing the mag is normal (and annoying). I turn the gun over when removing the mag so I can catch the loose BBs when I turn it back to normal If there is still a BB stuck somewhere after firing without the mag then there's a problem. Can you take a pic where the BB is stuck?

Yeah, insurance is always a bit dubious. I'm sure making a claim means filling in a long form and showing receipts of what they cost.

That's strange. I just tried the link and it works for me

The only 'legal' way is ParcelForce48 Don't bother with extra insurance because RIFs don't qualify. (Don't know if anyone has made a claim for insurance)

Hey Rob, Just curious which shop you bought from?

But it shouldn't be. Unfortunately the rules are so badly written even border force get confused sometimes.

Bad luck mate 😬 It seems to me that they've seized it in error because it should be completely legal. As Tommikka said, write a letter stating that it is legal under VCRA Section 36 (add any other relevant sections you can find) and provide your UKARA. Hope it gets sorted

Air rifles up to 12ft/lb (16.25J) are allowed with no restrictions apart from being over 18. Its ironic that more dangerous toys are easily sold over the counter or even by specialist mail but our 1j toys need a registry. Airsoft has its own little caveat in the law.

Welcome back ✋😃 For CQB you could probably start with a pistol I guess. I've seen a few positive vids of the Vorsk VMP-1
