Whereas us peasant’s have more sense😜

For me no, I'm not big on the whole distraction device idea, especially as it starts sounding the instant the pins pulled. The whole grenade thing with a a timed silence allowing you time to post it through a doorway or window definitely sounds like a game changer though.

Not every site allows pyrotechnics, either insurance issues or the public in reasonably close proximity, so a non explosive relatively low volume grenade maybe just the answer those sites are looking for in order to inject a further element of realism in to their games. And if it says "BOOM MOTHERFUCKER" after 5 seconds, even better🤣

Yeah the first one is just annoying, but the Mk2 definitely has the potential to be considered a timed "grenade" of sorts, especially useful for those urban sites that can't have any form of pyro ?

Already being marketed as weapon lights by Olight, although I don't suppose in a real steel application your too worried about the bad guys eyes lol😵 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374160971945?epid=10054751152&hash=item571dbb58a9:g:JA4AAOSwO0xiv1y2&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4EHkvF38W9P8xYMknK8KkJoTYxZ4zJDq9WnUjzZNU6d6VAM6mWzTm4HaMKcvVqYnxDAH0%2BcPkMX6K3Q%2F1uLBYJhoF6YyWTbTlmyrTGEZCIMhJNAHO4iYCdB7pgSsSJq4Q8qWXFVyAPIY7F4cTik8nL2psczlnv8sjfpOm3xjoD3N23ml8yytcVIcN7GtodwPYYbnKg4KxNYFGbX%2FletgIqRAzjvENdGTkejS2PaXQNVtKPRgkaEWIcJ2RGJAmOMdo%2BNgPUwznADgNudh84gYBRjMcke6908Nie19xnTlakR8|tkp%3ABk9SR_zxx_jfYQ

For anyone who's ever got a dog from a rescue centre, & has been astounded by some of the ludicrous "hoops" you've got to jump through to give that mutt a second chance, meet pissfingers 🤣

Even with no issues these usually go for around £70, factor in the parts needed & if your pricing on those is correct, then £50 all in seems more realistic, as technically it's a boneyard on more than one issue. Alternatively, replace the parts yourself & push for £80 ?

Just one of those things, people used to say it was a risk when buying in from abroad, but I've seen it & experienced it myself from UK retailers, one could argue they're selling guns not fit for purpose & therefore illegal in some cases, but that's a discussion for another thread. Yep you could change your spring, or snip a quarter turn off the fitted one, but I'm assuming it doesn't have a quick change spring system, so that'll be a PITA. As @EDcasehas pointed out, getting it to cycle & stop with the piston towards the rear & leaving it that way for a week will compress & weaken the spring slightly dropping a few fps, without a qc box I'd do all the other things mentioned & then get it chronoed before trying to change springs.

Might pay to put a few mags through it, sometimes it loosens things up & drops the fps a wee bit. Also did you have the hop on or off ?, some sites ask for it to be off for the chrono but that's bs, hop on will reduce fps slightly & it's not like anybody actually plays with hop off, bb's would go everywhere except where your aiming.

Maybe he wears tactical mittens when he's playing 😏

Don't put yourself down mate🤫 That's our job😜

If its his pride & joy, how can he be moving on to better things, surely there's nothing betterer 🤔?, not at that price 😏

I've an under armour polo, definitely longer in the bod, Dunno if that's the norm ?

Saw this & thought of you guys, I'll not name names though, you know who you are 😜 Doh, the last bit should say "and never trust a fart" lol

Airsoft forum buddy, Airsoft ONLY, read the rules. Zeroin has a non Airsoft section, maybe post your link there, alternatively I'm sure there's RC forums out there ?

Warrior kit is a class above current viper kit, lol maybe several classes, but to be fair on both brands warrior stuff is heavy duty quality materials, & it shows in its general physical weight, whereas current viper has improved massively compared to its early kit. In all fairness, given the amount of time it's worn, the lighter mags etc it carries, & the physical abuse it takes (or lack of), brands like viper & 8fields are ample for 99% of Airsofters, a £30 rig would probably last a couple of years of play no problem.

Thanks for your input, but your clearly not the problem, all you've really highlighted is your professional approach to trading on here. Yes a small mods team who do their best to police sales etc, but they're understandably reliant on the support of members being proactive themselves, of which there is a core of us that will raise concerns or nudge OP's if they've not followed rules or they've piqued or suspicions. It's all we can do, & if making small adjustments such as the picture "thing" helps everyone then great. The mention of F&F wasn't intended in this thread, God knows it's been done to death in other threads, & yet still people sometimes get suckered by less scrupulous "members", which is a shame the point still isn't getting through 😞

Hey Gav, there was one on here couple of years ago, think it might have been @Cromulon1994 had it ?. Maybe check out a fb page, Raresoft, does what it says on the tin lol

I've done the same, member with the absolute highest rep, plus the value has to be miniscule, literally no more than a fiver-ish. End of the day, friends & family is intended to be that, someone paying a friend or family money owed, either repaying for something or loaning some money, even if I'd asked my sister to buy & mail me the latest Chiefs shirt (she's in KC/MO), I'd do it as goods & services, otherwise I lose out if it disappears. Which is why it makes absolutely no sense to entrust your money with a total stranger in the hope he will send you something, via any number of flawed delivery options, just to save what could be a couple of quid. 🤔 How much, & had it got lost what would your response be .?

I didnt mention F&F etc, as far as I'm concerned that's not & should NEVER be up for discussion, but agree mention of it is a super massive red flag. A good mantra to live by, & it's something someone said on here waaay back, "If someone mentions F&F, only send what you can afford to lose" Wise words indeed 🤔

I had an issue last year with ebay/hermes, gear was showing on hermes tracking as delivered, but no pod or delivery picture. Seller literally went "shown as delivered, not our problem, go whistle for a refund or replacement", hermes wasn't much better initially with a robot system that went round in circles & choked every time it got to the non existent proof of delivery, initially ended up jumping on the local delivery guy, who then gave me his ops managers name, she was more help & established the item had not got past the senders depot, & maybe not even collected by hermes ?, so was it the sender pulling a fast one, possibly ?. Even tracking down the European ceo of hermes email got an agreement that they would now consider it lost, but still ebay dragged their heels settling the claim, & PayPal weren't much better as the pod crap automatically closed down any attempt at a claim. What a cluster fuck, & trying to get any of them to talk to each other was like herding cats, very stupid cats lol. Only way it was resolved was my inability to not quit (which I think they were hoping for), it was only a £30 transaction, so while I wasn't prepared to devote much of my time, every week or so I'd fire off a pre-pasted email or make them call me with a couple of button pushes & then send them off to chase each others tails lol.
