Yeah, looking at it a couple more times, I agree, I think it's a skinny guy not a girl, & another reason why I don't like HPA boxmags on pistols, he's essentially a speedsofter minus the lycra ? Plus I think he's a ginger, hit him again?

At the same time he charges at her tiny box (snigger?), with the intention of shooting the two occupants point blank via a head height hole, it was always gonna end badly for someone. He still needs banning for his response?

Made me chuckle? & scared in equal measures?

As @SBoardleysaid, fix it & move on, consider it a life lesson that you'll now know how to avoid in the future, next time you've got a wonky gat just stick a post on here & the extensive hive mind will quickly offer you a solution ?. As for the retailer, they've clearly got a good reputation MOST of the time, so mudslinging isn't going to resolve anything.

To be fair, circumstances leading up to the "showdown" sound like 6 of one & half a dozen of the other, Airsoft gats, even the top brands are notoriously fragile, I've had cheap s/h kit seemingly go on forever, & at least two brand new supposedly high end gats pack up on their first outing, so nothing is guaranteed. The shops policy of allowing customers to use guns before they've been paid for is a mistake, I've never heard of this kind of "service" for ANY retail products, at least not beyond an initial brief tryout to get the feel for something. To the same degree, if your mate did use their facilities as much as has been stated over an extended period, then I think he's been a naive in his approach, & put them in an untenable position, irrespective of some of the bs excuses they may have given previously, that just sounds like vying for time to get a resolution via wholesalers or manufacturer that didn't cost the retailer anything, but I suspect the time passed & unusual circumstances gave the manufacturers an easy "get out" ?

LOL, I meant the retailers mum. To be honest it sounds like your friend may have mislead you with his use (& misuse) of the gun in question, & he most definitely abused the shops already easy-going nature, including its very flexible terms it offers. Thanks to him im sure the shop will now be forced to reevaluate its terms to ensure this situation doesn't arise again, which will be a shame for the genuine punters. My one question for you @Vetis why did you end up signing up to badmouth the shop ?, as the full story has unfolded it's you that gets the flak, or at the very least, looked upon unfavourably, when in fact your mate deserves to have the piss ripped out of him ?

As has already been pointed out, we's hi-capa is a very poor quality knockoff of the TM, in fact even kjw's version is way better, (I've had all 3), so don't bother throwing more money at it. But that's not to say that a thorough strip down, clean, & lube may resurrect it, maybe change any rubber seals that look knackered, or just soak them in some silicon oil, will help them seal.

LOL, I spotted that too, his mum will be on later to tell us what a good boy he is ?

Just don't be enticed in to any hostels by by mega hot chicks ?

His argument for "F&F" payment is bullshit, fees aren't very high, & should be incorporated into the asking price if he's that tight. As for PayPal support, as has been pointed out they've changed their T&C's, so yet more bullshit from the seller, definitely not to be trusted?

A brand & model info would be a good start ?, otherwise its £5 & a couple of bags of haribo?

#MeToo, most of the time, nuff room in magpuls to get your finger to the winding wheel, even with gloves on.

You might find fitting magpuls on your mags improves the access ?

Is the issue the pouches behind the cumberband ? I never use mine(I'd probably only use them as extra space if I was running a shit load of realcaps), I can see they'd be an issue, probably the only weak spot on the rig, I just mount shingles on the face.

Lol, I remember the first time I saw a serpa drop leg, safe zone at Ft Amherst, thought "WOW, that's a good way to carry your pistol, such a quick draw" ? A month later I had one, 5 minutes in to the game I thought "ffs, every time I run its like I've got a small child hanging on my leg & trying to pull me the other way" lol?

Doh, how'd I miss that ? His username rings a bell ?, think he was on here under another name & there were issues ? Newtoairsoft maybe ????

LOL, I was gonna check if he's still selling it, & if he's still not mentioning its ex-two-tone & in a general shitstate, I'll publically call him out on it ?

Definitely a good package there mate. Out of interest what was the username of the deceitful twat over on Zin ?

I know your not mate, & I'm 100% in agreement on lightweight rigs, the lighter the better, in fact to that end I run so many options, wee man bags/belt platforms/bandoliers etc, even picked up a tiny tactical tailor fanny pack recently, just got to figure out how to get me fanny in it ?

?Ain't that the truth, get caught in a heavy shower & 58 pattern weighed more than the bloke wearing it? Biggest load of ?, remember training with some yanks & trying on their nylon Alice kit, I was actually jealous lol
