  1. Ahoy and welcome. And yes, you're spoiled for choice down there, enjoy.
  2. Who said that it did? It does however distinguish between a discrete act, and an ongoing course of conduct. The fact is that it is not a "two tone gun", firstly because no such definition exists in law. It's either a realistic imitation firearm, or an (implicitly non realistic) imitation firearm. And it is a realistic imitation firearm. What it might have been in the past isn't relevant to what it is now. Who is under an obligation to modify it into a non-realistic imitation firearm, and why? What offence is being committed if they do not? Is the offence an action, or a course of conduct? Which Act and Section defines the offence? Good job nobody except you is making that point then. We're all going to agree that an offence was committed at the point where it was modified into a RIF. However, it sounds likely that a defence could be adduced, and it's irrelevant to the recipient, and always has been, now or in the past, as they committed, and are committing, no offence by accepting or possessing it. And what's the relevance of that? No offence was committed by either the person making or receiving the gift through the act of gifting. No defence is required, not that ignorance is listed as one. The amazing thing is that you do actually know the relevant legislation, which lists the relevant offences, and yet you've gone ahead and imagined up some more. Wait... do you work for the police or CPS?
  3. I would fully expect it. They're a Californian company, and will be crawling with purple-haired social justice warriors. AUP: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/acceptableuse-full?&locale.x=en_US "You may not use the PayPal service for activities that [...] relate to transactions involving [...] firearms" Federal law suggests that they're not firearms for the purposes of the Gun Control Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Section 921(a)(3): “(A) any weapon (including a starter gun), which will, or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon" California, well, here are the penal code references if you really want to put in the time to argue the case. https://airsoftaculous.com//airsoft-laws-in-california/ I'd just fix it up and get on with your life.
  4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VertiBird
  5. Oh, that model. Sorry, no idea, I have the short-short MP5K version that needs an innie-to-outie thread converter to mount most tracers or suppressors (or loudeners). It looks like that stocked and railed up... interpretation... is indeed the only one available at the moment.
  6. Crikey, how often do you lose them?
  7. Black and tan: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/searchresults.html?search_query=xr-5&Search= Although I have a stock update set for the OD...
  8. Ahoy and welcome. Not that I have either, but I'd note that the original TM and clones are under-sized, while (e.g.) the VFC is 1:1, so any advice about what fits what will be conditional. These are a thing.
  9. The only flesh I eat now is pork, because it's the only way to be sure that it's been slaughtered humanely, rather than by some sand-wizard wailing spells over a stone knife stabbathon.
  10. Triumph of the Will Power?
  11. It might depend on how real life real military real millsim your real-battle realsim is. Honestly, the amount of "how do?" in airsoft that could be answered by one query to the Dungeon Master of the LARP in question.
  12. I honestly can't imagine how you could pay that much to buy every conceivable spring that might possibly suit, then throwing most of them away. Well, if you can get the measurements, https://springsandthings.me.uk/ is a decent source for small springs.
  13. I'd ask the organisers. They may have their own ideas about what constitutes a magic sponge, or they may hand them out to medics. Bear in mind that you'll either have to get yours back, or write them off. Without any indicators to the contrary, I'd be bringing the thinnest, cheapest strips of cut up piss-stained bedsheet[*] and not expecting them back. [*] It was the cat, honest.
  14. That's a really nice job, it feels spot on. I contributed some of networking and robot AI to XPilot a few... uh... decades ago. The vector will rise again!
  15. If you can find a woman who looks at you the way that Svetlana looks at EVA, marry her.
  16. Mostly covered above. Toilet paper or wet wipes, you won't need them until you really, really need them. And do you know where your towel is?
  17. You don't even know you're born until you've been thrashed to death by your dad, got up before you went to bed, then walked to work in the snow, 5 miles there and back, uphill both ways.
  18. Wait... is everyone here a 1980s 8-bit nerd? ? I started on a GlaDOS system with the integral mobile power source. Friday night rules, here's a cover of Poker Face performed on piano, guitar, ukulele, table-thump, and stylophone, entirely conceived, played, sung, filmed and edited by one teenager with a potato-cam.
  19. Cheap plastic crap, mate, not even worth listing, mate, you should just PM me with your best price, mate. Banter aside, they're not magical out of the box, they're OK-ish, light, and can be upgraded to the moon. The current new price is about £85 if you can find one in stock, which you probably can't.
  20. But with the magazine where God intended it.
  21. Nah, not really, I go for security over quick draw. Leg panel, a piece of Kydex formed into a tunnel and inserted into the molle, and a strap over the outside holds it in place snugly. I'm barely even aware that I'm wearing it. Without DethKannon: With DethKannon:
  22. Obligatory...
  23. Oof, yes, I'd forgotten about that. Well, all law abiding travellers are required to follow all the laws. Lot of spare dingies on the beaches around Dover, I'm just saying.
  24. That's what I'm seeing, it's either free shipping, or no shipping. Given the high chance of getting charged another 20-25% plus an unknown delay at customs (especially right now) even with DHL, I think I'm going to pass again until the new year, when we've had some reports one way or another. Also, it really rankles that they still seem to be charging Polish VAT at the point of sale, and we'll get rinsed for UK VAT on import. And, oh wow, to add teabagging to the insult on top of the injury, are we going to being charged UK VAT on the full price including the Polish VAT? That's a mugging too far for me.
