  1. True. But in the preceding 27 years to Dunblane there were 17. 3 were terrorism. 1 was in Northern Ireland, where the law remains the same. So arguably, 12. The removal of access to pistols has reduced the occurrance by 3 in a nearly thirty year period. Don't get me wrong, three fewer is good. BUT People who are going to do bad things are going to do bad things. If you are of a mind to kill people, you are willing to break the law. Therefore the legality of access to firearms is irrelevant to you. In the UK nearly all gun crime is committed with illegally held firearms. The process of obtaining and keeping firearms in the UK is amongst the most stringent in the world, when applied correctly. There are failures, as in Plymouth, where the shooter should not have had a firearm. Even his own mother had pleaded with the Police to not return his gun. Failure to apply the law will not be changed by changing the law. Of course, you could outlaw all firearms. That means bye bye RIFS too. So long to air rifles, catapults, bows, crossbows.... stones? Screwdrivers? Chainsaws... The list is endless. If it's dangerous, it should be banned. There is more chance of you dying in the UK by crossing the road than there is of you being shot. If it's dangerous, should it be banned? Should we live our lives in cotton wool? No. That would be boring. As the philosopher DMX once said "Guns don't kill people. People kill people." p.s. apologies for the ramble, three kids and 4 dogs impeding concentration. p.p.s dogs kill people sometimes. They should probably all be banned. p.p.s kids kill people. They should probably be banned too. p.p.p.s Grown ups kill people... oh ffs
  2. No idea on the package, but I have one suggestion - Sell the mags separately (ish). Do three with the RIF and then two sets of three separately. The package price then won't cost as much, opening up a wider market. And the mags will sell instantly as they are rocking horse poop doused in unicorn tears sprinkled with dodo jizz. I sold my mags a couple of years ago @£100 for three (twice). I think I underpriced them tbh. I reckon you could easily get more. GLWTS p.s. are you sure you really want to part with the best gas gun on the planet?
  3. And buying it that way probably comes with some sort of warranty...
  4. So £330 for the rifle and £15 for the lipo - £345 So 2/3 puts it more like £228 So about £100 over priced, unless I'm missing something?
  5. Fuck no - unless I'm missing something, this is an ASG MK23, which is £55 new. There's no mention of any upgrades. An extra mag is £25. So for £80 plus post, you can have it new. Which means that the tape is costing you £60 over new, not a tenner. Which is basically another MK23. No, no and thrice no! The fucked mag is worth zero.
  6. I think it was deliberate - he was correcting his own memory from ppk to USP. So it could have been just further evidence of his inaccurate recollection? Or They were all anti 2A types who loathe guns and think they're all the same...
  7. Sod the £49.99 for an empty pepsi can - they want £129.37 for postage!!!! But... look what you get!
  8. Well what can I say, other than I'm bored? Haven't played since I headbutted a rock, but still need to shoot things. As do my boys. We'd been shooting in the garden, using tin cans, at ground level. I had an epiphany - I was teaching my boys to shoot people's feet! Useless. So I immediately went out and bought a load of garden canes. I then stuck them in the ground all over the (enclosed) garden. I topped them off with a cat food tin and voila - one course of fire created for pennies! Sod these electric target systems - it was an absolute blast and cheap as chips. You can do all sorts of drills, lay them out in any order you want. The only limit is your imagination. Why dafuq I never thought of it before is beyond me. As the boys improve, I'll start designating different targets as pistol and rifle, so they can transition between the two. By the time they can actually play, they're going to be awesome 😄 Anyway... if you haven't, I can highly recommend it and if you have, I'm open to any further ideas to make it even better.
  9. I've got one of these sat in front of me right now (I used to have it on my SRS)... It looks very similar to the one in the pic, but I'm not 100%. The scope mount looks interesting as it looks like it can be elevated. @Jay851 I can recommend the SRS one piece scope rings as a good partner to the Diamondback, if that's the way you decide to go.
  10. Now I know my finger isn't really on the airsoft pulse any more, but things can't have changed this much, surely? Please? https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/bolster-armouries-moonstone-special-edition-precision-hi-capa-gbb-pistol?pv=19742 Because that is nothing short of mental. The decimal point must be in the wrong place?
  11. Sorry for being dim, but how do you communicate, as they don't seem to have a mic? Cos if there's some way of adding a mic, then happy days - cos I can use my audio technica ATH AD700's, which I love...
  12. I've currently got the Turtle Beach Stealth 600. I hate them. My head feels like it's being boiled in a bag and my ears feel like they're being crushed. My son loves his, but he has a small head. Could anyone recommend a decent headset, that can be used with PS4/5 that won't overheat my brain or crush my ears? Oh, and decent audio performance would be good too
  13. Stop!

    Vector time!
    whoop whoop whoop!
    I am now the proud owner of a Krytac Vector again. 
    Now all I need to do is get fit enough again to field it.
    But one step at a time...

  14. That being said, I had a Shadow SP01 that shit its internals the first mag I fired (on green gas!!!). I took it back and Urban Airsoft Mega Store swapped it straight away. Can't fault that for warranty support. But, as you point out, not all warranties are as well honoured, unfortunately.
  15. An actual video of what looks to be a real Silverback MDR-X Just wish I spoke Chinese. @Asomodai, you ordered one yet?
  16. Silverback - most annoying manufacturer?
    If you were going to give any youtube channel an exclusive - why give it to a channel with under 1000 subs???

      308's although I think I saw a 5.56 is coming as well.

      And just 18 video in 4 years.  Quite bizarre, maybe she's some sort of InstaTok celebrity, or whatever's popular in Hong Kong.

  17. This. I'd be a little more enthused if I'd seen a finished product in action, somewhere. Well, anywhere! It seems strange they've not put any vids up at all.
  18. HK45 Is awesome. Full trades. Laser.
  19. Given your target market will most likely have batteries and a charger, you might stand a better chance of selling it if you bring the price down below the RRP of the same RIF new.
  20. It's pretty damn good, even if you hate em 🤣
  21. I couldn't find a thread on this, so apologies if my search skills have failed me. It seems the MDR is finally available for pre-order, with orders shipping in the first quarter next year (allegedly January, although I won't hold my breath). Has anyone bit the bullet? I'm trying to find recent footage of one in use on youtube, but can't seem to find any. Can anyone point me towards recent footage or a review? It's fairly pricey, so I'm going to hold off until they're in the wild, I think...
  22. I was being very dim - that's awesome news! Although he may be a little sad at the fact I've got better guns than him lol Cheers chaps!
  23. Question for anyone with a ps4/ps5. I want to play CoD, online, with my son so we can go into Warzone / DMZ together. Is that possible, using two consoles and two screens without having to buy the game twice? And if so, how, cos I haven't figured it out yet... Thanks in advance.
