Hey guys, so this recent film popped up on my radar a few times recently via YouTube shorts, so only snippets of trailers, but initially looked OK, hunted around but couldn't find it on any streaming sites. Fast forward a couple of months & it appeared on one of the 123movies sites, so I thought great, got insomnia at mo so good way to kill a couple of hours in the night........... NOOOOOOO, I was wrong, don't be like me & get hoodwinked by carefully edited trailers, I lasted maybe 15 minutes before I turned it off, it's a low budget knockoff ish of lone survivor, crap acting, shite cgi muzzle flashes & bullet strikes, & just painful to watch. I've come across some absolute abominations on amazon prime in various genres, this is probably worse lol, ffs the lead "actor" is called Johnny Strong, that should have been warning enough.

Sellers in Lewisham, "training sessions" is probably slang for post office jobs lol.

Am I the only one that wants to see someone else film their gameplay, only to come across KM shooting from "out of bounds" etc, confront him about it & then knock that cnut out, all on cam. Now that I would go out of my way to watch, that shit would go viral overnight ?

This I get, many years ago I tried to get involved with the underground Airsoft scene in Cyprus, it was all very clandestine & all Comms were via a Greek Airsoft forum, which understandably was mostly in Greek, not easy to navigate at all. Although it was only slightly harder than having an in-person conversation with your average Scotsman ?

Then it's time to update his feedback accordingly, some people scam, & some are just lazy/tardy, either way other members on the forum need to know about his actions (or lack of them ?), & not everybody will spot this thread, but hopefully they'll notice negative feedback if he starts selling again.

He's gone, anybody been offered anything by new member @Scot ?

LOL to be fair Electrowerkz even looked like an S&M torture chamber, wouldn't be surprised if some of the players were there for the pain?

As a wiser man than me once said, "only risk what you can afford to lose" While he was referring to payment options when buying kit s/h, the same should be applied to shipping kit.

Elephant in the room guys ??? ?, OP has owned the TM Aug previously, got on with it & it served him well, to me that's a no brainer, it's tm ffs, get that so you can start playing again, everybody knows you'll need a second gun for backup soon enough, thats the one to research a bit more & scour the classifieds for.

Maybe get WGCshop on the case, while we're all responsible for customs charges etc, that's not the issue here, sounds more like ups have lost it, & WGC have the contract with ups, not you, so let them put the boot in, on the understanding that you've been patient enough, & you'll be claiming for a refund or replacement in 7 days (hopefully your funding source will still honour it if it's not dragged on for too long?)

Has anybody sent any money to @mathewwyne ?, if so you might want to consider starting a claim via PayPal etc, he's approached a new member with a wanted ad, wanting to take all Comms off forum, which to me is a massive red flag. Get it started before we hit him with the big hammer lol.

A lot of photoshop type scamming attempts recently, not sure if it's just one or two shit bags doing it, or is it a new tactic by scammers in general ?. As long as everyone, new & old, does their due diligence to the best of their abilities, & NEVER pays with anything other than PayPal goods & services, then there's usually a good likelihood of getting your money back.

De09 is now suspended/banned

Yeah that's my latest hobby while I'm laid up, going on Zin & watching overpriced crap get bumped for the 37th time? They just don't get it?

Fair enough, thanks for the info, but doesn't change the fact that the sellers looked bashed to fuck, that alone makes me question the price in the s/h market. Dynatecs get battered, they're still the OG classic that everyone else has tried to copy, but I don't see anyone trying to sell a banged up one for £100+ lol.

Only if we can then be speshul friends ?

100% agree, as a biker I'd never buy a helmet secondhand for the same reasons, no matter how good it looks & the price compares to new, it's structural integrity could be compromised, goggles & masks are the same.

What are you hoping to achieve ? The power output on that model is already good, allegedly 330-360, if it's at the higher end of those figures it's already bordering on the UK site & legal limits, chucking a higher rated spring is likely to exceed those limits. Same goes for hop & barrel swaps, you may end up upsetting what's is already a good combination, reviews on the later asg models are generally favourable, so why not start off with the gun itself & 3 or 4 mags, play at least a couple of games to allow it to bed in & only then if you find it's lacking in any area, consider upgrades ?

I was actually thinking about getting a shipping container at the end of my garden ?, with the ridiculous rising prices of treated timber etc, it'll be way cheaper than a decent shed/workshop, & considerably more secure?

LOL, as long as they don't go in to "hero mode" & lob it through the nearest double glazed window, be an expensive prank?? But You’ll laugh about it after a year or two ?

Training grenade, couple of companies make them in the US, between $20-$30 new, but subject to itar apparently so not easy to ship over. Regards sticking it on the kit, fuck that if it's that heavy, plenty of lightweight copies available online that'd look as good without the weight penalty. I'd keep it as a paperweight or coffee table talking point lol, tell visitors your grandad bought it back from Normandy, go to hand it to them & then fumble it for a reaction ?

Lol, what a crock, my stock metal slide ksc G19 lasted 20 years at 340ish fps (propane-.20), without ever missing a beat, total cost new £65, never spent another penny on it.

& if he's such a professional, why has he not sorted it.? Odds on the unlucky buyer might find more than the issues mentioned ?

LOL, you know me too well ?
