As mentioned, the sliding plate is the valve lock. You shouldn't remove this. It's there to provide constant pressure to the valve which helps to provide a regulated amount of gas per shot iirc WAs aren't designed to run on green gas. You should be running it on 134/144a. You can run it on green but you risk accelerated catastrophic damage (I have an M92 with a wrecked slide) so you should be getting more than a couple of shots off. You could run a restrictor disc in the nozzle to run propane somewhat safely but that does take away from the shooting experience quite a bit. You are filling it correctly? Can upside down? You say the gas will empty after a couple of shots. Is this visible venting or just no more gas? Many years ago I did have a similar issue with one of these venting gas but I fixed it with a new magazine gas router. And yeah, WA Beretta 92 mags are specific to WA. Looks to be an M92FS Perfect Version.

Release is end of April supposedly but yeah, no details anywhere. Might be a hybrid, timed and impact too.

A good rule of thumb is if Ruby Rose is in something, avoid it.

It's enough smaller I fully understand why people prefer a 1:1 version.

I've been researching this very thing on and off for the past couple of months. Not an exhaustive pros and cons list but here is what I've found. Wix vs Squarespace vs Shopify vs WordPress I'm sure Wix and Squarespace work fine for some purposes but I read a bunch of reviews and I wasn't really sold. They seem very much form over function and their flashiness hides problems. Then due to proprietary management, there is potential for problems should you wish to move on if they can't offer what you need any longer/issues with hosting. Though I suppose the same can be said for Shopify but Shopify seems considerably more scalable with less hidden costs too and just generally better. Issues with Wix mobile site scaling seemed to come up quite a bit too. WordPress is the ultimate goal it seems for e-commerce but requires a significant amount of time/knowledge or funds as you need the WordPress specific hosting (ideally), payment plugins etc. A bit too advanced for my needs. Etsy store vs own store. I primarily looked at a Shopify store so will use this. There are other alternatives but ultimately quite similar in most regards Etsy pros - Quick setup. This is a big draw for most people. Just register. Put in a small amount of work of writing descriptions and uploading photos and you're good to go as all the infrastructure is in place - Exposure. This probably won't effect someone selling 3D printed airsoft accessories but as Etsy gets a lot of general traffic people can stumble on your store whereas perhaps if it wasn't on Etsy, they would have to be looking for it. Let's face it, the average person scrolling through Etsy probably isn't your target demographic so competition/being seen is largely irrelevant - Fees are not too bad for low volume selling Etsy cons - The fees are notable once you hit a certain sales figure. Better than ebay but you're paying for the privilege of using their system and everything that goes along with it. - Limited template to sell your things. For instance, I don't believe you can use videos - Similar to the previous point, you don't have a lot of control of the look and feel of your brand. Perhaps more important for some people than others Shopify pros - More professional looking having your own site - More control, extra sub categories etc as Etsy can be a bit limited - Cheaper once you hit a certain amount of sales Shopify cons - Monthly subscriptions start at $29 (lite plan excluded). So that's a monthly drain on funds even if you're selling nothing. Though this is countered by their low payment processing if you're selling enough stuff and no transaction fees if using Shopify payments - Depending on your skills, it could require further costs e.g. web design fees or adding apps for additional features (though I've not looked into apps so I don't know costs/considered necessary) - Requires effort to get traffic. Pay for ads, word of mouth, social media posts, FB ads etc though as mentioned, this will probably be the case for selling niche 3D printed stuff on Etsy too Imo, you're best off starting on Etsy, getting some sales, establishing a brand etc and then start your own web store. Over time you can funnel the majority of your buyers to your Shopify store and just leave the Etsy one running with minimal/zero upkeep. That is unless you already have a massive social media following on IG or whatever that are itching to buy your products in which case I suppose you could jump straight to a Shopify store.

Same. I had the rail on a plastic bodied M4 warp with enough power to snap at the retaining screw and curl up like a Quaver. Just sitting in storage. Warped CYMA Thompson receiver, weakened Galaxy MP5K mag release. Bloody monkey metal. I've had no issues with TM or WA stuff though.

People don't like it's incorrect scale. It does seem like much more of a toy when compared to a WE/VFC.

If you want 1:1 get the WE Small Rice. Ultimately the TM is a better gun so check one out and have a play before you write it off. You might just be OK with it.

Now you need a second one to mount on top of that sight 😄

One thread not enough?

The 1911 held 8 rounds and there was a double stacked Kimber that held 12. As they didn't have to take into account bullets taking up space in the mag, just cases, there is more space than you'd think.

Indeed. I don't know if there's any around your budget, but I'd say check out what's on offer from Vector Optics.

Avoid the replica Eotechs. They're all shitty red dots with heavily tinted glass. That is except for the Evolution Gear/Holy Warrior ones but you pay for the added quality and they're still red dots at the end of the day.

This video shows an as new Crye shirt working as designed. It would be interesting to see a comparison with a washed surplus one though.

Plus HK has it's own propriety KeyMod which muddies the water further.

It does vary between manufacturers and material, dye etc so in general, the likes of TMC and Emerson don't do too well. Plus RS stuff like Crye will lose it's effectiveness after a few washes. Good example video

Oh absolutely. I gather when you e-mail a CEO, depending on the company, there is some automatic filter system that picks up on key words and forwards it to some drone somewhere. I don't care how it works tbh, as long as it gets results. Which it did for me.

Depends on the company. I e-mailed Tim Cook after getting fucked around by Apple CS and I got my problem sorted.

I forgot about Tardis. Good stuff too if you happen to have it for car cleaning duties. https://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/product/autosmart-tardis-tar-and-glue-remover-5-litre/

Stuff I've found to be great for this. Zippo fluid Deodorant spray Isopropyl alcohol

US criminals have painted their RS guns to make them look like toys for years. Any country where firearms are prevalent will be treated as if they are real. I can't see this particular gun setting a trend tbh. I'd imagine there is a limited market for a firearm that looks like that.

The one on display is white/light grey and black. The lighting is making it look blue. All the videos I saw last year of it, it was fully black. Whether this two tone colourway is for promotion/sale, I don't know. I still don't see why you think this is relevant. It's a firearm for the Russian market, won't be sold in the US, let alone here.

It's a black shotgun, looks a bit funky for sure but still a RIF. Changes nothing.

Such a non story. A gun for the Russian domestic market..Why the fuck does the BBC need to get involved at all?

I've had good results with leaving stuff submersed in Dettol for 24/48 hours.
