He's literally reposting military memories. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=michael.j.thomas.779&set=a.1243735946999 It's good to be cautious, but I suspect that you may have strayed into paranoia here.

Oh, they do look fun, especially for CQB or as a sniper secondary. As a woodland primary they might struggle. The internals are based on electric pistols, and there's a very small cylinder volume to work with. You can put in stronger springs (see Eagle6.co.uk TM AEP springs) but they're always going to be limited in muzzle energy. As stock, they come with a specific nimh battery that I believe is very slightly different from the similar-but-not-identical battery used by most AEP (auto-electric-pistols). Probably the best thing you can do for it is to bin that off and replace the standard push-in battery connector with a Deans, Mini-Deans or even a JST plug, and use a small 7.4v lipo battery, whatever will fit in the battery compartment. Even with a tiny 300mAh / 35C/70C (i.e. 10.5A - 21A) lipo, I got much better trigger response from my CYMA AEP.

<you-lucky-lucky-bastard.gif> Great to hear common sense being applied at the border, although it looks like you really were just lucky on the TaiwanGun package.

Thanks, it's good to hear that it's do-able in person. Were you asked to show any evidence of a defence on entry to the UK? In 2021/2022?

Indeed, that's the first suggestion that Facebook made. Fousands of friends, I'm sure some of them are quartermasters. The profile I linked to is a closer match to what OP was saying. Either he's found completely the wrong profile, or I'm wondering if it's some sort of unconvincing robot account created to very badly mimic the high-friend-count "real" Michael Joseph Thomas in name only. The ??? was a general invitation to comment on that, I don't Facebook and have no idea what sort of shenanigans are popular there these days.

The saddest part is that a dishonest scrub like that is "playing" airsoft. I can't imagine it's to the same rules as decent people.

Yes, the "iMax B6" is an (old) model of SkyRC charger. There are loads of knock offs around, and videos showing how to tell the difference. A genuine one should have a hologram sticker underneath it with a code that you can check. That said, if in doubt, just buy an S65, it's much newer technology in a more compact package.

Hmm, that doesn't seem right. Is the air seal good right to the end of the barrel, rather than just at the nozzle?

Ahoy, and indeed you can have fun at any speed.

There is something very satisfying about a hard-mode kill when you've put the energy in yourself. It makes it much more personal, like kick starting a motorcycle.

Ahoy, you're doing something very silly. Playing pretend soldiers at your age, who'd be daft enough to spend money on that? It's ace, and I don't even have the excuse of dragging my son along. Ask away, we might even give straight answers rather than joke advice like "The Double Eagle M83A2 can be skirmishable," or "Not all P90 owners looks like sweaty neckbeard struggle-cuddlers.".

Buyer now...

It surely doesn't. The defence is specific to things that "need" a RIF, i.e. museum, theatrics, or playing pretend soldiers. However, as above, it's entirely up to sellers what they'll accept. I doubt it will ever be an issue for them. Of course, it's all an utter farce, as "Want that one" suffices (in England and Waleshire) for purchasing much more dangerous airgun firearms that look absolutely identical to the airsoft version. It's just a game with very flexible rules that aren't really enforced. Much like airsoft.

Biblically?

Truth to tell, I've got a magwell grip myself, because I found that I kept gripping the magwell. Now that I've fitted it, I find myself never gripping the magwell. Fickle-fingers syndrome, the airsoft curse.

Woodland? I wouldn't. Even with my CYMA tri-shot with fixed hops that sort-of work with 0.28g, I wouldn't. The FABARM doesn't claim to have a hop. CQB, maybe. It's very site and play dependent, and getting harder all the time as even the most basic of AEGs and pistols are more effective now.

It's supposed to expire after a year. As always, it's entirely up to the seller to decide what they'll accept. You're fine to try and buy and see if a seller is willing to sell - you're not committing any offence. Importation is a lot riskier. One cheeky chappy here reckons he managed to get something through on an expired UKARA this year, but I wouldn't gamble on it personally.

Let he who is without excess grips cast the first meme.

Funny as it was, some fresh meat might have fallen for it.

Indeed, the cheeky sod. I see he has a tiny twinge of conscience at least.

Why so surprised?

My CYMA CM.123 (essentially the same internals) is fine in the cold. A bit weak with the stock battery, much better even with a tiny 300mAh 35/70C (i.e. 10.5A - 21A) 7.4V lipo and no mosfet. Sounds like your battery is quite tired. It might benefit from a gearbox lube, although they're pretty fiddly to take apart, or more specifically, put back together. Some silicon lube down the "nozzle" so that it gets to the piston rings might help.

A match made in stripper heaven for a Double Eagle.

Like, a collective? We like collectives. I agree with the suggestion to ask more. A lot more, and on as many fora as you can find. It's more of a case of holding out for the right buyers rather than giving them away to the first oik gagging for a proper bargain.
