No issues what so ever. Big trend for GBBR ATM is the spitfire tracer https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001245255424.html? or get a ACETECH lighter and stick it just about anything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBC5kuWx_A8&t

I know I am being paranoid but as someone who had a family member affect by Thalidomide it sometimes does make me go hmmm especially when you read posts on sconce news site with headlines like "COVID-19 vaccine trial will continue after volunteer death".

Are they big for their age? Coming from someone that looked after gaggles of rental kids for years due to the size of the guns involved the smaller ones had issues with carrying/using them and sapped a lot of the fun out of it for them. Our insurance would only cover 13 +. It only hurts from close range and on bear skin. Some people just wear shooting glasses and get hit in the face and don't care if that's and indication for you. You can rent at almost all sights, best to do before looking at anything gun shaped to buy. Airsofts love showing off their kit and if you ask will be more than liking to let you have a few shots. Depending on venue I would get them some footwear with ankle support, a pair of seal skin socks (if outside), cloves/hat and get them to wear sports type clothing in layers for your first time. Take some wet wipes, kitchen roll and shaving cream to tell with clean up and keeping your goggle free from fog.

Seen a few simple rules work well. You are limited to 7 mags of 30 rounds (unless GBB then can carry as many as you like) reload at spawn. If you wanted to use a highcap or have unlimited ammo you had to carry a pack weighing at least 40 pounds. Made the "machine gunners" act more like gunners. Armour rules also makes games more interesting. If you had plates weighing at least 5 pounds each you got 3 lives before having to respawn first two anyone could apply a "bandage" 3rd you had to drink a water bottle from a medic where as those that did not only had one "bandage" revive. This then also opens the medic roll humping water around all day and lots of doctors and nurses RP. Another aspect that makes games more interesting is objective based play where pew pew is of a secondary nature. I spent most of my first day at a 24hr in a bush trying to make out what the other team had written on boards around their HQ turns out it was their command radio frequency we could then listen in on. Sorry I am rambling. TLDR Yes limiting ammo makes for more of a tactical game but not necessary any less fun.

I left a TM VSR10 cocked for a week, I cant remember how much power it lost but it was enough for me to replace the spring.

Yup running it with the sdik bolt for TM VSR, at 500fps with a 0.2 got through 4 24 round mags with propellent still left in the bulb. I did think about running the 33g bulbs but then I seen the price, but it is an option.

With a full stock I would go with something like https://shop-mancraft.com/en/co2-adaptors/184-hrr-with-u-shape-expansion-chamber.html around £150 vs £250 for the Wrath stock I have one for my bolt action and with a bit of fettling it fits in the stock so an A2 style full stock will take it no problem. I have only put around 100 shots through it due to being covid so no experience over the longevity of it yet. Sorry I should of been a bit more specific I dont use the GHK mag filled with Co2 to power a HPA engine I use it to power GHK gas blow back rifles. Get sub 10" groups at 70 meters with a 370mm barrel with all the fun of a bolt lock and blowback.

You have the Wrath Co2 stocks that will fit on an AEG Ar15 type pew pew the 12g version gets around 150-250 shots adjustable power 175-600 FPS with a 0.2g. Then you can use whatever engine you like to fit in the gearbox shell. If a buffer tube is not going to work you can get things like the Mancraft U Shape reg and do the same thing but hide it in a solid stock ETC. Another option to think about that I have been using for the last few years is direct filling Co2 into GHK blowback magazines (Called the devil hunter mod) and am over the moon with the results.

Fire Support has a large range https://www.fire-support.co.uk/category/hi-capa/?manufacturer=&stock=&stpos=0&no_per_pg=999 but I found I had to go Japan/China/Taiwan for the niche stuff when I built my replica.

Nothing like a GHK on Co2 for fun. I call her "Eleanor" because of all the pleasure she gives me

That MG42 should be snapped up for £500. Parcel Farce will take it no problem just at the min with the coof they have stopped large & XL stuff shipping. I cant see any "dreamer" martial in my opinion
