Welcome news, if somewhat surprising to see them un-pulling the plug. I'm very cautiously optimistic that this might suggest a reduction in jobsworthism among imports in general.

Hmm, that is a decent feature list. Any idea who the OEM is, and whether its got the QC to match?

Certainly sounds like he's regretting it.

Did I imagine hearing that the Novritsch one is... OK? Degenerate and heretical either way, of course.

Dom is my spirit animal.

Eh. All of airsoft is a gamble, and CYMAs are tough enough. Do eeeeet. The risk is that you might get overspin and double-shots on semi auto. This was a particular issue on my CYMA because the spring had been cut down to get it to UK power levels, meaning it was barely under tension. Nothing really wrong with that... until you go to 11.1V.

Oh, right, there's a "Report this advert" at the bottom, under the map. Give as much detail as you can. Unlike just about every other airsoft classifieds it's likely to actually get looked at.

Thanks! Reporting directly to (e.g.) @Jedi_Master can help to scrape the scum out of the pool.

OK, most.

Yup, that's the Buyer's Regret Starter Set. With the current daft price of G&Gs it may not be too outrageous, depending on what what "GT" actually is and whether the "free" CM16 is functional at all. Although I think the most likely case is that £550 is new price of the 3 guns. Another lazy listing, bare minimum info, hasn't thought about postage or fees, and is expecting buyers to chase him saying "Pretty please, mister, tell me how much of a bargain I'm getting". Best of luck with that.

I've not had any problems with them (and yes, you can get another 5% discount if you leave your basket alone for 24 hours), but my working assumption is that all airsoft retailers are exactly as bad as each other when it comes to aftersales. If you get anything less than what you pay for then you should exercise your statutory right to reject (no need to give a reason), and then when they inevitably wibble and wobble, go ahead and initiate a chargeback through your credit card / bank / PayPal ASAP. They're not our mates, they're for-profit businesses, and should be factoring in the cost of lemons.

That's my understanding, although I'm not sure if he popped out or was already visible when the "accident" happened. Apparently he rubbed some dirt in it and kept playing. Informed consent does matter. If you know that projectiles capable of doing that are going to be flying around, and are prepared accept that risk, fair enough. At a regular skirmish day though, nope, nope, and nope again.

They can be, but accidents happen, and airsofters gonna airsoft. This is from a US event where TAG rounds were to be used strictly only for vehicle kills, and not aimed directly at the vehicle. And yet... Granted, a mortar with some sort of mount that guarantees a high elevation would ameliorate that risk. Right up to the point where someone stands over it and cops a round heading upwards.

DYE, Bolle, Revision, Valken, Pyramex.

TAG launchers already serve this purpose. As noted, some sites are OK with them, some want nothing to do with them. Anything that's lobbing a substantial projectile for a useful distance will be operating at higher energies than shooting glasses are rated for, and it'll only take one person looking up to see what's coming in to illustrate why this is a safety and insurance problem.

They are fun little plastic-fantastics. The gearbox is solid, the motor has speed but little torque so the auto is fine but semi is a bit comical[*], the short barrel and front end flex provides "area suppression" abilities, and the V3 trigger has a pull that spans postcodes. In that condition, yeah, £40, I might have made an offer, but I'm after one with a non-mullered front end to sort my equally glued-and-taped one. [*] Literally comical, a teammate and I had a good laugh out of me nearly friendly-firing him, but it took so long for the motor to audibly wind up that I actually managed to get my finger off the trigger first.

Actually, yes, G36C is a good shout. The CYMA claims 2.3kg, the JG 2.4kg, but as you say, the front rails are surprisingly heavy (and removable). If you're running an optic, then you can remove the iron sights, and even lose the stock if you want to shave every gram. Actually, every gram would be losing the top rail as well, and eyeballing it. Bullpups are also viable, as are "SMGs" (everything's shooting 5.95mm BBs). A P90 come in at 2kg, and is very handy. Whatever you go with, one thing I'd suggest is considering an optic on a tall riser. Not having to hold the gun up at your eye level can make a big difference, and all the tacticool room-clearing bois are loving having an extra 2" of erection. I have actually run this in CQB and it works well, especially with a full face paintball mask. Bit of an issue with shooting through windows and such, but that's less of an issue outdoors.

Oh, herrrro. Although you do need to go plastic bodied, and Luke at Negative bought up all the Galaxies in the world a while back. Anyone know if there are plastic bodied MP5Ks in stock anywhere?

I hear that each Novritsch brand BBs is individually gargled three times by Nov himself.

I reckon two of them might even stop a BB from Licking Mustard.

But you use 100% of that? Oh, mate, no, never go over 70% of your 85% limit!

You gotta pump those risers up. Those are rookie heights in this racket.

Mmm, while I accept that storing lipos at somewhere less than completely full will probably eke out a bit more life from them, it's not something that I bother with, for several reasons. The recommended storage voltage / energy seems to vary by manufacturer, so how is the charger going to get it right? They'll self discharge from full anyway. Which may not be ideal, but... When do you not fully charge your phone, tablet or laptop using the same battery technology? Do you worry about those? Airsoft batteries are consumables, and paying the cost of a bottle of BBs every couple of years is noise compared to any other airsoft cost.

I swithered between Thanks and Careful, Now on that one. I mean, I'm sure it'll put electrons in, but my concern would be to which cells, and whether it will stop. Still, charge in an Explosion Containment Pie Dish and it'll probably outlast the gearbox.

I've yet to have anything that won't hop a 0.28g, although I think they're all running Maple Leaf buckings at the moment. Might be work asking if you can cadge a few heavier BBs at the chrono.
