Can we see the bad footage that you got?

True, but so many of these fUlLy UpGrAdEd GnUs are sold as "never skirmished" or "put four rounds through it". I even get the appeal of making - or paying someone to make - the best possible toy, without any real intention of using it for its ostensible purpose. I guess it's like those chaps who trick out cars with every available Stage Eleventy-Nine performance part just so that they can park them up at a car meet with the bonnet open then wander off and ogle similar concours queens. However, I can't help but feel sorry for such hardware. Their Machine Spirits must be restless.

Ohhh, that's brilliant. Like the don't-call-them-ladies-tees ladies tees on golf courses. The only thing stopping you using them is, well...look who's using them.

Why on earth would you think that it's wor... "Fully upgraded by KOA " Ohhh. Translated: "All the diamond encrusted stuff that neither the guy who paid for it, nor I who traded for it, ever once actually liked enough to use: that must be worth at least that that much to you as well. Beg me to sell it to you, peasant. On your mud encrusted knees."

It can be the difference between glasses steaming up or not for us sweaty paedo types. S A F E G U A R D I N G. Besides, I can assure you that I'm hirpling slower than Johnny Speedsocks can sprint back, tap the tree of spawning, and then get back into action. Do you believe in equality of outcome, or are you literally worse than Hitler?

Not so great if it encourage rentals or regulars to pick up bad habits. I only tend to do it if I'm alone, or with sensible folk who are doing similar and understand why it's basic fair play to give the other team the full benefit of their kills. Another of my list of stuff that very nearly works for me without having to hit the fan. For anyone baulking at the price, a small pot will last longer than any airsoft gun you're likely to own - you use just a tiny smear each time.

To be (grudgingly) fair, it is a significant factor, if you're talking very CQ. And depending on how, uh, "mental" the "reponce" is. But yes, over-sold and over-priced. If it's that "perfect", why's he selling it?

I'd say that's fair play, as it works out exactly the same for the other team either way. I do it myself at times, always being careful to take at least as long as I'd have taken to slow-walk right to the respawn. However, I do like to set an example by going all the way there, especially if there are any sprint-back-10-paces-then-rejoin jockeys around. Wow, good job. You look like you should be on the set of the Walking Dead. Or half of you, anyway.

That's the thing, I'm not sure if that's the case, or whether it made much difference if it was. Some of the apparent mass breaches were fake news: those crowded beach scenes over summer were forced-perspective #ScumMedia trickery to make people appear much closer than they actually were - covidiot outrage sells papers. The mass rallies of various sorts didn't seem to result in a rise in hospitalisations or deaths. Deaths remain on or under the mean in everywhere in Europe except Spain, including all UK regions. [0] I'm seeing fairly good compliance with face coverings in shops (and even airsoft sites). 98% of adults self-report as using them[1]. Positive PCR test results (which are not the same as active cases, let alone sickness) are rising among school age children and young adults, which is what you'd expect from schools and universities being back, and not a matter for blame. Virtually none of them are going to be seriously effected. Thankfully, positive test results among over 70s aren't rising at all[2]. Yes, large parties where people get pissed up, hug, kiss and shag each other up the back stairs are bad. But they're already illegal. Laws only bother the law abiding. Smart, sensible people won't be popping round their gran's place to lick the spoons regardless of the law. Chavs will do it despite, or perhaps even to spite, any prohibition on it. I cannot stress enough how much I am not pooh-poohing this or saying "Yeahbut, Sweden". I took this seriously from the beginning, and I commend everyone who does at a personal level. It's the scale and the sustainability of the response that I question: economically, socially, politically, and legally. Passing and enforcing laws that 78% of people claim that they want[3], but which at least 89% then don't follow[4], doesn't seem to lead to a particularly good place. And medically, even leaving aside the long tail of untreated cancer diagnoses, there's already a big cost in folk just dying at home rather than seeking help.[5] Well, I guess that's the world put to rights. Has anyone posted a comically over-priced toy in Macks?

Mmm, it's an emotive subject. I'm not for one second downplaying the seriousness of SARS-COV-2, or criticising any individual who wants to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Do you? What restrictions? I mean, in law. Burnham refusing to co-operate with bumping Manchester up is an interesting situation. If he doesn't feel minded to comply because of financial considerations, what example does that set? Me, I'm going anywhere that's open. By the way, there were over 50,000 excess Winter deaths in England and Wales in 2017-2018. Remember that? Remember the resulting crushing restriction of civil liberties, mass criminalisation, isolation and dehumanisation, the destruction of vast swathes of the economy, half a trillion in borrowing, and the effective suspension of Parliamentary democracy? No, me neither.

I rather suspect that nobody is really reading this legislation any more, not even the people writing it.

I think it makes me sad. "Ghk mk18 never skirmished and around 7 bbs shot for a slow motion video and put back in its box" I reckon that cost him just shy of £16 per trigger pull. I'm sure we all understand the urge to buy stuff just to have stuff, but economically speaking, this is like buying a G&G CM16 then just throwing it straight in the bin.

Wants the buyer to work out what they are as well: "The PayPal service fees are not include, please pay an extra fees when you are making payment via PayPal." But "free" (i.e. included) shipping? Alternatively, pick up in Central Manchester, or apparently from a remote wind-swept hillside in Dumfries & Galloway, according to the map location given. Lazy is never a good look when you're asking someone to part with £580 (plus secret fees) on trust.

Mmm, it seems that even the civil serpents drafting the legislation are having a hard time figuring out what they're trying to achieve. And then Councils and police make their own interpretation of it anyway. Usually I advocate looking to the legislation for clarity and certainty, but at this point it barely seems worth it.

That's a shame. I wonder what they'd say though if one of the marshals or owner's mates turned up with one. Might be fun to take it along just to show them. I'd offer to be shot with it. Likewise with Chinesium lasers or anything else that you want to claim / show is safe: crash test that stuff yourself.

Huh, I didn't realise they'd do that. That's risking both payment fraud and defence-sharing. Still, if they don't care, and Border Farce isn't checking (I strongly suspect they're not checking shipments from the EU), then have at it.

The number of days given by the seller, which they are free to set at any number they like. The delivery company is of no contractual relevance to the purchaser. I prefer the bad news to come to the seller via a notification that they will be charged back if they don't resolve the situation. Just to end any argument about who's responsible for what before it even begins, because I am so done with having that "You need to chase them up, mate" or "Give it a few more days" flannel rubbed on me. This sounds very pugnacious, but consider the situation: the buyer has paid money up front and received nothing but a promise which has been broken. We've come to accept this as par for the course, but it doesn't have to be that way with the many tools at our disposal these days to hold sellers to their promise. Remember, if it doesn't get resolved, they can claim compensation from their courier. We can't.

Nobody there will give a stuff how you got it, so long as you're circumspect about how you transport it there. In the boot of a car, fine. If you carry it on a bus in a gun shaped bin-bag while wearing camo and whispering "Soon, mighty Satan, soon", that might not go so well. Check with the site about their age limits: you'll almost certainly need a parent or guardian to sign a consent form. Some sites (or their insurers) might not be too happy about you playing solo under 16. It's very much site dependent though, andif you're half sensible, and take your hits, they might not be hugely bothered in practice.

Propane rather than CO2? Do they even chrono those? Might have been better not asking. I mean, what are the chance of you being spotted using it by someone who knows that it's not 6mm, and cares? And what would the consequences be if it's under the Joule limit? The legal definition of airsoft guns goes up to 8mm. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2017/3/part/6/crossheading/firearms/enacted The only practical consideration I can think of is old, brittle ammo shattering.

Both TaiwanGun and Gunfire will send by UPS. If you create a UPS account, you can have it directed to one of their "Access Points", i.e. local hole-in-the-wall shop. That's the principle. In practice, I've had two of the local points refuse deliveries because screw you, that's why. I'm guessing they just didn't want to store gun-sized packages behind the counter. In the end, UPS just delivered to a neighbour even though I'd explicitly told them not to, so it's all a lottery.

Yes you can, because until it's in the customer's hands, it's entirely the seller/sender's responsibility. My policy now is to not even bother arguing the toss with sellers or their chosen couriers: I just initiate some sort of chargeback (eBay / PayPal / debt/credit card) the day after it's failed to arrive. The quicker you do it, the quicker you get your money back. You can always halt the process if it shows up. Worst case, it's better for you to have your money and the goods than neither of them.

Oh, right, sorry, I thought it was the tinted lens, but I see the dings now.

Folk desperate for something to do after / between rona lockdowns, I'd guess. POW and Section 8 are both rammed full and selling out weeks in advance at the moment. Oh, hang on. See this mask? It looks like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Paintball-Protection-Resistant-Activities-Black-Clear/dp/B08JCPMTSR "Notes: The PC lenses can withstand 310 FPS within 5 meters of the bbs shooting" Nice of them to say so. I'd be wanting to test shoot that and see.
