One reason might be the fantasy that it will become a professional sport with sponsorship for the top teams, which means an arms race of super-pew-pew guns from sponsoring manufacturers. Evidence: this thread and this gun.

No problem with that. It doesn't do anything that you can't make any other airsoft toy do with enough fiddling. And at least it's going to catch the marshals' attention and get you watched like a hawk, unlike some hair-triggered generic M4.

Dem feels when just for once you're totally prepped and ready for a weekender event by Tuesday... then they postpone it for 6 weeks. 😭

Mmm, I do sympathise with the site owner, he's put loads of work in and arranged for extra facilities for the weekend, and a bunch of folk (I infer both players and marshals) have booked up front then told him with under a week to go that they won't be showing up, citing sickness (must be pretty bad if you know that far ahead that you won't make it) but also "holidays and weddings". How could that have come as a surprise?
Bad news for everyone, although the way it's being handled is pretty amateurish. No automatic refunds, he's assuming that we'll either want to roll the booking forward or will attend a regular skirmish day on Saturday and get credited then. Yeah... but no. That's the thing about running a big weekend mislim, the extra numbers come from people who wouldn't normally have made the trip.
It's only £10, but having to ask for it back in the first place should be unnecessary, and having done so, if it doesn't show up in the next day or so, then I'll just be opening a PayPal dispute and that's the last that site will ever see of me. And I get the money back either way.
Why is it so hard for people to just do the right thing, for the right reasons, and for their own benefit? -

Sole trader, or limited company? How much professional indemnity do you have? That annual tax and NI bill is a real sod isn't it?

I suspect that if someone shows up with one of those then they'd find that the rules are more what you'd call guidelines.

Needs a white version covered in manga stickers.

At 1.34J, it's too hot for UK law on a fully auto gun.

The hurty words have sent me running for my safe space.

But if I adjust anything other than the hop, you will hunt me down and kill me?

Oooooh, lording it over us with your fancy £70 pistols, are you? Does your butler shoot that for you?

Mad, staring eyes? Why, no, you don't have mad, staring eyes. Why would you ask? -

The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Sound like a keeper. I mean, the missus probably. Self, inspired by the summer medic water thread: And for an upcoming Namsim: GI will get medal after he is dead. -
True, but that's the seller's problem. As a buyer, all I care about is that I can get the same toy gun delivered to me brand new, from an actual retailer, with a suppressor and extra mag, for less than this... optimist... is asking for his shagged out Frankengun.

There are £110 brand new from PatrolBase, or less from TaiwanGun / GunFire, and you get a black or a tan gun, not half and half. Why is yours worth £150? -
Not my proudest moment, but at least I eventually got a usable battery out of it.
-
I hasten to add, just my personal preference after having a sad day with a big 11.1V. Some folk get on fine with them, even without MOSFETs or mods. Worst case, you can lop a cell out of an 11.1V and with a bit of soldering end up with a usable 7.4V plus a sad, lonely nobody-loves me cell.
-
That said, I got bad overspin with an 11.1V high-mAh high-C battery, so unless you're rocking a MOSFET, ideally with active braking, I'd stick with 7.4V and keep it down to something modest like 1400mAh / 15/25C, e,g. buy 2 of these rather than 1 of something bigger. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-nano-tech-1400mah-2s-15-25c-lipo-airsoft-pack-1.html Something else to bear in mind with 11.1V is that you'll have to fit one of the cells down the buffer tube which can be tricky.

Urgh, sites run solely from a Facebook page that don't tell you exactly where they are, how to get there, the availability of parking, game days, hours, prices, site rules, or pretty much anything that you'd want to know before deciding to make the journey there.
I know, "Just message us, mate", but why not document it once rather than dozens of times?

Micra on stilts. Surprisingly unroomy. They look great, but it's all show and no stow.

Grinds my gears a little that justairgunz.co.uk will cheerfully sell realistic imitations of M4s and MP5s, shooting steel projectiles at higher energies than airsoft guns, without a defence other than "Yeah, it went to that address." That's a rant for another thread though. I wonder if they apply the same secret 7% discount to airgunz orders left in your basket for 24 hours that they do for BBgunz orders.

Looking at the wear on all the corners of the trigger (thanks for the high quality pictures), I'd venture to suggest that it's been tested to near destruction.

"Brand new, never skirmished". But comes with noticeable wear on the frame where the slide's been rubbing on it, and on the trigger and release. Uh huh. And he was looking for a used one in April, significantly "with original box". I'd suspect that this is a trader buying used and selling as "new" at a risible markup. Caveat emptor.
