Pretty sure Zero In is running on one of these

Losing airsoft guns at German customs used to be a thing for a while if they were posted with a certain courier as they went via a German hub or some BS. So even if it was legal in the country of sale and destination country, German customs would intercept. Perhaps that worry is from that.

Yeah. A mod needs to message these guys. They don't seem to grasp what the news forum is for.

What's your budget? You have companies like FPR, ALC, Nova putting out steel 1911s, 2011s, Glocks and Desert Eagles but we're talking fairly hefty price tags. http://www.fpr.hk/index.php?route=common/home

Lots of blank firers used at games likes MSW in the US. Always used responsibly from the footage I've seen. They're treated as a LARP element with a significant MED. I think they add massively to the vibe and would be fine with them.

With the slide off and an empty mag in, does the follower push up on the slide stop? If so, that will rule out mag, spring, follower and slide stop issues and narrow it down to the slide stop/slide notch interface.

VFC G3 and MP5 GBBs are pretty much 1:1 to RS so RS stocks fit very easily. If you want to use the RS spring and spring guide on the G3, you just need to shorten them.

Doing that makes you guilty of manufacturing an realistic imitation firearm. Though airsofters have a defence so is fine to do as long as you can provide evidence it's for skirmishing.

I sold one back in 2007 for £130 but I don't think it had the paperwork and collector pin or whatever came with them. Just gun, mag, wooden box and box of BBs iirc. Of course market has changed a bit since then I guess but just my experience. I tried at £200 but didn't sell until I reduced to £130. I guess the buyers are out there but it just depends on how long you're willing to sit on it until they appear.

Oh. Perhaps I'm making some assumptions on general knowledge. On film sets, guns are actually pointed slightly off of actors to negate any armourer failings such as this scenario but mainly to avoid any small amount of debris from the blanks hitting actors. Then camera angles do the rest and make it seem like everything is lined up.

He pointed a firearm at someone and pulled the trigger. You just don't do that. Yes, even with a supposed "cold gun", even on a film set. I don't see how anyone can defend that. Sure, he didn't prep the gun and perhaps he's not legally obligated to check it but he broke a firearm safety rule and someone died. He is absolutely partially to blame.

Yeah, lots of productions use airsoft in place of blank firers for various reasons. Be it cost, safety etc. You can generally tell because it looks absolute shite. They often don't bother to simulate case ejection and muzzle flashes look like crap. Though it can be done fairly well if people know what they're doing. I seem to recall Stargate SG-1 looking pretty OK for the time. Imo, no dummy/airsoft guns will ever replace proper blank firing adapted guns on screen. They just don't have the presence. Imagine Heat shot with airsoft guns. It just wouldn't have the same impact. Anyway, regarding Alec Baldwin being a murderer, lots of rumours circulating it was an actual firearm with a live round. Quite what the fuck live rounds and non blank fire adapted firearms are doing on a film set, I don't know. I'm hearing lots of reports of staff walking out over safety concerns in general as well as firearms safety concerns from previous incidents on set. I gather some of these staff were replaced with people that were perhaps not qualified to replace who they did. Whatever happened, it's a big shit show and some people are going to be in a lot of trouble. Perhaps if Baldwin wasn't so rabidly anti gun, he might know the basics of firearms safety...I couldn't imagine pointing even a blank firer at someone I wasn't willing to injure. Though the memes coming out of this are quite entertaining. (At Baldwin's expense of course. Not the poor people he shot)

Yeah. I'm calling BS. Everyone, keep rocketdogbert away from your MP5s if he's holding a can of lighter fluid. He might try and force his claim into reality 😄

Sounds like someone's pulling your leg

When you say correct PTT, which one specifically? Generally that is the weak link.

I'm starting to suspect whatever retailer advised rocketdogbert of this issue might perhaps be responsible by either messing up a battery conversion or OK'ing the use of higher rated batteries and is now trying to do damage control/passing the buck. The fact that no other retailer has heard of any issues and now TM coming back with the response above and their quickness with dealing with the MK46 issue...Very suss.

Are you at liberty to say which dealer? As it seems at least a few UK dealers haven't heard anything about this.

Nothing on their site either. If there is a genuine recall, they're certainly not trying very hard to get the word out.

I've played a few times with Legion at Longmoor and never found the supposed random chrono or hot guns being an issue.

Standard M92s are pretty much ideal for suppressors though I don't think I've ever seen one on an M93R. Perhaps you could try a Nine Ball threaded adapter. https://www.titano-store.com/en/c/airsoft-c28617/guns-external-spare-parts-c28854/accessories-c29462/m92f-nine-ball-silencer-adapter-582879-p904933

Tread carefully with AsiaAirsoft

A shame. But understandable.

Good to know. Does Sendico work with RIFs too, do you know? I know a few services don't allow them.

Nothing collectible about a CYMA Thompson. They're available for £130 new so this would be worth £80-90.

Gangsta City is one of those exceptions 130+ (I think) at the last one and was excellent.
