I'm sure that they're not fouling up every order, but the problem is that they're fouling up any. It seems that they had big issues a few months back, and they've now gone totally incommunicado on my order. I won't be gambling on them again, and I'd caution against giving them the benefit of the doubt unless you're prepared to be very patient.

It's really very simple. You don't even have to remove the existing battery connector (although I did), it's just a case of soldering the two wires from the JST connector onto the same spots as the current connector wires go. 5 minutes start to finish, including heating the soldering iron. You could also use mini-Deans, possibly even full sized Deans, but the smaller Lipo batteries tend to come with JST connectors.

RED FLAG, I'm currently in week 2 of no-dispatch of a GunFire order that was supposed to be available from stock. They haven't responded for 4 working days and it's currently sitting with PayPal as a claim. I'd say go with TaiwanGun or don't bother.

Working day 6, no dispatch, no change to the order, and still no response at all from GunFire for 4 working days either directly or through PayPal. I have now escalated it to a PayPal claim. It didn't have to go this way. Why did they make it go this way?

Ouch, really? Sorry, I was thinking in terms of what they should cost based on the materials (a bit of metal and lagging), rather than the £4,000,000 milspec screwdriver that's doubtless absolutely required to put them together.

You know it's a toy accessory, I know it's a toy accessory, any reasonable person would know it's a toy accessory, but it'll only need one Shrieky McPanic to 999 in "ZOMFG gunz on teh trane!!!! HALP!" to take up a bit more than 5 minutes of your time at the end of your journey. (In full self awareness that I'm being a bit Shrieky McPanic about the prospect )

Pure speculation, but: An expensive item that needs maintained and can be damaged, lost, stolen or sold out the back of the barracks, and which someone's lawyers can later claim wasn't issued / didn't work / nobody made their client wear it. versus A fit-and-forget metal tube. I know what I'd procure for the poor bloody infantry.

Not really a fan of mine. The elasticity is strong enough that it's not comfortable to use the gun with it stretched, but not strong enough that it holds it securely when you've got it slung. It still bounces around.

Seems to negate the point of a Firehawk. Otherwise I agree that it's a decent base platform and if you can get the FPS close to the site limit and pop in a tightbore and Maple Leaf then it'll shoot as magically as any other toy blowgun

Also under 2000 a day, often well under. Crikey, that's some cost if you're using tracers. If you're able to spam that many BBs, I'd infer that you're not getting hit much. Are you actually in range?

Eh, given that there's minimal chance that it will be delivered by next weekend now, I've requested a refund instead. Given their lack of responses to date, I've tried to contact them via a PayPal dispute as well. Let's see how it works out, but I am the opposite of gruntled about GunFire at the moment and - depending on if or how they resolve this - could only recommend staying well away from them despite the cheap prices.

Sure, thus the advice to not do it with a 1911. I'm pov-spec though, I only run AEGs and AEPs, on which it works just fine.

Hmm, that will be tricky. That's the problem with fan goggles, they tend to be bigguns.

One 25mm fan has over 3 times the area of 2 x 10mm fans. I'd go as big as you can fit on the goggles.

Interesting idea. Would it stand up to the sort of knocks that airsoft goggles are likely to take? "S" hopping with Sugru is still only my list to try.
