    The law in this area is an ass, three types of mule, and eleventeen varietals of pony-and-trap. We really need a comprehensive consolidation and consistency-check of all firearms and firearms related legislation, although that's very unlikely to play out in our favour.
  2. Genuinely well done, I get a sweaty cleft from just walking 26 yards let alone running 26 miles. 👍
  3. Yup, virtue signalling that they hate guns so much that they don't want anything to do with them, beyond making a living from glorifying their use.
  4. And don't let naysayers say nay. We're just playing dress up and hide-and-seek with expensive spud-guns. Sure, the organisation will almost certainly be the usual comically contradictory clusterfrag, but just go out and play the way that you want to play and you'll have a blast.
  5. Top tip: remember to take some acetone nail varnish remover to unstick yourself from the "not" XR hippies.
  6. So, like ten quid, mister? This is a solid example of how if you're the only person who actually makes something, you can name you own price. It's not one I'd pay, but I suspect someone will - although I agree that this probably isn't the forum to find that person.
  7. I'm impressed that the seller appears to have actually bought one of those God awful mesh masks that tend to get inflicted on rentals. It's like they wanted to play in Hard Mode.
  8. I'm going to bend over backwards, and even do a few cartwheels, to assume that the postard is listing what they think is the equivalent new value for an equitable swap, which is what they're asking for. I do agree that the sale price for a used and abused £55 gun, £50 of ostensibly working mags, and a spares-or-repairs freebie is more like £70 than £140.
  9. Maybe those bits of camo tape were hand woven by blind Tibetan monks. You don't know!
  10. Are you actually seeing a problem? A lesson that I've not really learned, but should have by now, is that if it ain't broke[*] then don't try and fix it. [*] Or sometimes even if it is broke but still works sub-optimally but consistently.
  11. It could have been, but I suspect it was more down to people who really don't like guns making a film that includes a lot of guns (eventually). Some of the scenes towards the end get a bit bizarre, when they remember to CGI in ejecting shellazines almost exactly half of the time, even within the same shot. The props are clearly cycling though, so I suspect this may be an on-topic film for airsoft.
  12. Voiceover: "A suppressed H&K USP forty-five". Still worth a watch, despite that moment of...
  13. No income tax, no VAT No money back, no guarantee Black or white, rich or broke We'll cut prices at a stroke.
  14. Ah, go on then. It's just a pet peeve when folk say "manufacture" when there's a crystal clear and explicit "modifies" offence right there. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/38/section/36
  15. Please stop this. M O D I F I C A T I O N. See if you can find anyone who will ever care though. @Wegalaxy, while it's commendable that you're being careful, there is such a thing as inventing problems where none exist. If you're in the UK, and if your use of whatever toy you have is on (properly) private land, then nobody is ever going to care what you're doing, or with what, or how you got / made it. On the other hand, if you're going to run around the local dogging woods reenacting John Wick, then it won't matter if your toy is 0%, 49%, 51% or 100% orange.
  16. Well, legally you can, because purchase isn't an offence, and neither is gifting. However, finding someone who will commit the offence of selling to you is the problem. That said, what I'd suggest - and I'm assuming @Potatoe man isn't an active airsofter - is to look at buying a two-tone non-realistic imitation firearm, which just requires you to be 18. You can't sell it on to him, but you can gift it. Caveat: that's if he can be trusted not to take it out to the local woods to show off to his mates. Realistic or day-glo orange, public possession of any imitation firearm without a reasonable excuse is an offence. If he can be trusted with the ownership and use of it, then how long it stays a two-tone shouldn't be a concern. If he can't be trusted, then don't get him anything at all.
  17. <Ackchyually> You don't even need a VCRA defence to buy a RIF either. </ackchyually>
  18. I currently have 1 working tracer unit out of 4 that I've received (1 of which was itself a replacement). 2 x dead Lighter-S, 1 x mostly dead Spitfire. They seem super fragile, even by airsoft standards.
