Weird question but has anyone found a brand of CO2 cartridges that are slim? I'm aware they're supposed to be standard but I'm having trouble finding ones that don't get stuck in my WE magazines.
Thanks for the education, all! I guess the idea is a non-starter. Airsoft World said they'd try to get one on the next order for me, I'm not in a rush because it'd be useless over winter anyway!
I suppose one thing that would particularly scare me is if it arrived shooting too hot. Do you know if KY are bad for that?
I'm after a WE R5C GBBR; their little PDW stocked honey badger-ish thing. The 5.56 one not their new PCC thing.
I appreciate the advice of just doing it, I agree it'll probably be fine; I'm still not comfortable doing it. I might try Zero One but knowing their prices I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to double the price.
I want to pick up a GBBR that I can't get in the UK from KYAirsoft. I really hate the laws around importing and the horror stories of dealing with clueless customs even with UKARA. I figure retailers have to deal with this all the time so I wonder if I could just link them and ask them to pick it up so I can buy it off them for a mark-up or something like that. Anyone ever tried anything like that and cares to share a retailer that's amenable to it?
Ares CCP for £125; I've got the CCC, great little pistol M4s. I particularly like the CCP for looking like a Warhammer 40k bolt pistol,

Yes, yes I know, bBgUnz4leZ but I've never actually had a problem with them and 20 cans of Nuprol 2.0 green gas for £100 is a good deal,

I got it down to £95 because I was logged in and had it in my basket but didn't buy. The next day I got sent a 5% discount code.
A helpful hint for those looking to order that I've just figured out. If it says "1 in stock" or however many they have under the picture on the product page, it means they've actually got it ready to ship. If it doesn't have anything under the photo it means they're selling them on backorder which I think is the practice that really causes the vast majority of issues people have with this retailer.
I think they really shoot themselves in the foot selling stock they haven't received yet without telling you as much because it makes them seem untrustworthy. I think they'd find if they just said "available on backorder" people would still order for the good prices but have far greater patience when it takes an unspecified time to arrive. Airsoft World also sell on backorder with flexible estimates but by and large they have relatively good reviews because you are made fully aware of the conditions of sale.

Code: GF-STRETCH-204
Code comes from Super Mega Tactical Airsoft News, dunno when the expiry is.
I realise this was posted a while ago but I'll respond anyway. I sent mine back immediately on arrival. It was visibly not square, didn't fill the hop window, and was covered in flash. Very poorly produced 3D print with no QC. I got mine on the day of release though so maybe they've gotten better.

TaiwanGun's got it but delivery fees are killers and they're not as cheap as, say, Bullseye Country Sport who stock it but are out.

You could also give contacting Perun directly a punt, they responded in a day last time I emailed them.
