Funner fact: bastarding Amazon was stripping the video link out of my messages, and Acetech wasn't making that clear, they were just asking for another video. I've since sent them a direct email with a link to that video, and got this rather peculiar reply: That's... peculiar. I've asked them to confirm that they really want me to destroy it, and that there's no misunderstanding here. Also: "squash" a lithium battery, nice try.

Video provided on Thursday, no contact since. At this point they've just wasted more of my time. I've followed up again, more out of interest about what the story will be now. (Fun fact: that was recorded in landscape mode, the file is in landscape mode, but YouTube has decided that it should be portrait, presumably because it was recorded on a phone)

Shot with an HPA pistol. It's OK, it'll be "tourney locked".

We're ideally looking for something like this:

Another little BUMP, after reviewing the unit on Amazon, ACETECH asked me to contact them, then asked for a video of the issue. They're not even suggesting that I send it back, just that if they reckon it's a unit fault rather than user abuse (how would they tell?) that they'll send another one as it's within a year of purchase. Let's see if they make good on that. I'm highly sceptical, which means I can only be pleasantly surprised.

Aww, bless, has be been trying to flog that since last June? To be fair, the externals and shell might be Well, but all the BB cares about at the bits that he's changed. No TDC though, so not "fully" upgraded, I'd argue. And I imagine it'll still be up by this June unless he puts a 2 at the start of that asking price.
-
That's my recollection too. The original purchasers got absolutely rinsed. But that's no reason that someone in the market for one now should pay anywhere near current retail, unless you really reeeeeally have to have one right now. Looks like the next batch won't be shipped (from Austria) before May.
-
Eh. Anything that's wrong with a pistol is likely to cost you less to replace the part than to post it back to Poland and wait 3 or 4 weeks in the hope that they might sort it.

This is why I always keep a PornHub tab open so that I don't get caught reading about airsoft.

Batteries, mags, foregrip, optic (not listed as included). None of which explains why it's £160 more than a brand new one. William, please understand that the retail price isn't what you paid for it, or the highest price that you can find. It's the lowest current price, which is indeed ~£210. And that's new. Used, you can knock a third off of that. That's if you actually want to sell it. If you don't, that's good too. Lots of folk list stuff that they don't really want to part with.

The guy selling them out of a suitcase on the beach assured me...

I'll round your 2p up to a whole 5p. Very well noted.

Mrs B forgot to buy D cells for Miss Borg's robot arm kit, so I spent a happy hour diking[1] and soldering[2] a 7 cell nimh crane stock battery down to 5 cells /~6V, then crocodile-clipped it in to power it up.
Needless to say: BEST CHRISTMAS EVER.

First time I've quit half way through the day.
No shout for chrono opening, a rambling, incomplete briefing that left newcomers baffled, "10 minute" breaks that dragged on for half an hour while the marshals yakked it up in their office, then to top it off, getting shouted at because the chief marshal had forgotten where he'd said the spawn points would be, and blamed the players.
Given that lunch would doubtless have dragged on for 90 minutes or more, I wasn't minded to hang around for more of the same.
Shame, as the actual play was fine, there just wasn't enough of it.

I asked a question before in the brief and was told it was already covered instead of having it answered. Then it turns out they didn't cover it and both teams are stacked at a stairwell because no one knew who was up or down.
Was the chief marshal the young boy?
Problem with the Depot safe area is that it's too good so everyone sits down and wants to be "last out" to get maximum arse on chair time before the games. I too wish for less down time more pew time. No one needs more than 10 minutes between games in the safe zone.
Going to try Biohazard out this month hopefully. You maybe should give it a bash too.

Sites need feedback like this though. On X day it was awful and as long as you can give constructive reasons then they should take note of this. Also by the same action, positive feedback should always be given where due.
If you weren't a level headed individual you could have come on here, really blown off about it and discoloured lots of other peoples opinions and given them really bad press.

Eh, I just LARP this stuff online based on reading statute and case law for giggles, I don't even do it as a part of my day job any more. My understanding is that absent eliciting information about members of armed forces, police officers or the intelligence services which is likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, privacy is a civil matter cobbled together from the Human Rights Act 1988 (which only applies to public bodies) and prior and subsequent common (judge-made) law which has been influenced by the HRA and ECHR. The cases that turn up are mostly cause célèbres rather than Joe Public. Despite many broken promises, privacy expectations between private individuals hasn't been codified in statute law yet. tl;dr version - you won't know if you have a case unless and until you get it before a court. One thing I would mention is that the distinction between public and private places is also blurred. Any place to which the public enjoy a general right of access can be considered public. In Scotchland in particular, with right to roam, this makes pretty much every outdoors airsoft site a public place, in which you should have no expectation of privacy.

Aaand I've just unsubbed from the otherwise excellent Bad Influence Airsoft because he posted a clickbait CHEETAR video. You don't need to adduce statistical evidence that showcasing being a Dark Knight Punishertm normalises and promotes that behaviour in others.
-
That he has one and it seems to be out of stock at most UK retailers. But you'd have to really want one to pay £20 more than new retail for a pre-licked one.

Just to confirm, mine has lost the LEDs on one side, 2 out of the 4 in there. There's no obvious breaks in any of the solder, and a dip in isopronol and then a blast with a heat gun to try and reflow it hasn't helped. They're surface mount LEDs with the surface on the inside, so I can't even solder in some wires to bridge the bad ones to the good without tearing the thing apart. Oh, and despite having only a few hundred rounds through it since the last "charge", it was down to 3.3V, so it''s not charging properly either. They're vendor trash, I'm afraid. At this point, I'm considering just gutting it and using the shell and battery (210mAh 3.7V) to power some manually switchable LEDs instead.

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Rogerborg replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
You'll want to keep in in a perspex case to stop it being licked by other players. -
As the most recent Lighter-S trouble topic, I thought I'd BUMP this thread to report that both I and ex-workmate Eddie have been having problems with our Lighter-S tracer units. Mine is still stroppy. It will sit ostensibly charging for many hours, but then if you disconnect and reconnect the charger, will show as full. It requires several on-off cycles before it stops flashing red error / bogus low battery, even when freshly charged. Once it's on, it will stay on, but the intensity has dropped off significantly since I first got it (with both ASG blasters and AirsoftWorld green tracers), leading me to suspect that some of the LEDs have failed already. Ex-workmate Eddie dropped his Lighter-S and wrecked it, so had a brand new one on Sunday, freshly charged, and functional at home. On site, it failed immediately, ostensibly turning itself on (green light flashes) but then it wouldn't turn off, and didn't function at all. I really couldn't recommend them. Nice idea, but the quality is shoddy even by airsoft toy standards.

Currently tea-dying a shirt that's not quite the right shade of beige. I suffer for my art.

Morrisons You Can't Afford Any Better teabags. 40 out of a box of 80, an hour steeping, soaked overnight, washed, came out pretty well. Changed "fawn" to more like "camel", if not full "coyote".
