My mistake, soz!!!

Greyshop is £177 when you select the full AK kit option. So a fair price imo.

Gunman do cold war themed 'filmsim' - they've got one on late next month as it happens https://www.gunmanairsoft.co.uk/event-category/cold-war-red-mist/

Gutted to hear about no mesh. A 'shatter' (when it does actually happen) is like walking into a cobweb. Agree with heroshark - full seal mesh better then glasses, easily.

Try unscrewing the base slowly till its nearly 'open' then tighten it up again. Sometimes the 'button' can get stuck. If that doesnt work take it apart and re-assemble - be careful with the ball bearings though. Some silicon grease is useful for holding them in place. Afraid to say 40mm shells require TLC and always have more then you intend to use to avoid dissapointment. Cheers

This is all i can think about at the moment cannot wait to find out more!

Comparing using training plates (lets say for 6 hours a time, twice a month) to a career spent humping bergans or whatever isn't super relevant imo. Likewise joint problems are just really, really common across the general population anyway - about 30% of the population have some kind of musculoskeletal disorder. Furthermore for all the benefits of physical activity you do run the risk of injury, whether its your lower back from squatting or your knees from running. Training plates aren't for me but if they make skirmishing a bit more challenging and fun for someone then crack on - its not a h&s concern imo. If you use a gbbr and have a water bladder you are close to training plate weights anyway.

Yeah its really not clear cut. - thats exactly what I mean by somewhat unhelpful info - in this case they have written that webpage with the assumption that readers already hold an FAC and are seeking to purchase/possess a moderator for use on a firearm.

This is not strictly true. Not having a go cause not only is it really quite confusing but there's lots of information out there which isn't really worded that well! For example - shops selling 'real' supressors will say you need an FAC to buy cause they are technically firearms. This is technically true, sort of- but only when they are attached to a firearm. Shops will ask for proof the suppressor is on the FAC due to 1) target audience 2) arse covering. The definition of a suppressor isn't really that great imo: "any accessory to any such weapon, designed or adapted to diminish the noise or flash caused by firing the weapon" So there's no distinction between a 'real' and a 'replica' - could be a real KAC, could be the TM mk23 one, could be a coke can - the crucial bit is if it diminishes the noise or flash of a weapon and you dont have it on the FAC you are in trouble! For example - its fine for an air rifle (-12ft/lbs KE) or shotgun to have a suppressor. Anecdotally sellers will ask you what you intend to use it for - if you want to put in on a firearm they will ask for the deets of your FAC, if air rifle thats fine. Additionally, some 'real' supressors will be 'proofed' - if your FAC specificies a proof and you wanted to replace it, you would have to ask permission to do so. If your suppressor is unproofed you can replace with another unproofed supressor. The law is messy but it helps to know that it was written with poaching in mind - context is important. In short a supressor in of itself is not illegal but if you also own a firearm i would keep them very, very seperate should it raise eyebrows at an inspection. And i probably wouldn't bother getting a real one - you can still get into legal difficulty without having broken a law. Sorry for going off topic.

U ok hun?

Out of stock but they are out there: http://www.zib-militaria.de/epages/61431412.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61431412/Products/90121&ViewAction=ViewProduct

Love mine to bits but the drum mag has a rep for poor feeding - its not you being stupid. Drum mag for outdoors standards indoors 👍

I LOVE IT

^re judge of character -i agree, my point is we are using FAC as short hand for good character, but that is irrelevant anyway. 2nd point - agreed but if we are just talking about the airsoft defence (against being charged with importing/ selling/ manufacturing) then that hinges on making the rif 'avaiable for... organisation of permitted activities...'

^FOIA to home office (though its a few years out of date - was 18 not 12 -my memory is failing me! Apologies for screenshot - best i can whilst having a vape break at work! Edit just noticed in my post i wrote s.37 not s.36 - do bear my many errors in mind should you consider any of my posts to be legal advice haha Cheers

Thanks but the police didn't issue me a FAC by mistake!! As for logic - we are talking about replica imitation firearms. Can something logically be both X and a replica of X?.. i dunno!? In anycase we aren't talking about what is logical, rather what is legal. Anyway - the law does consider people who have an FAC and want to sell/import/manufacture a RIF - it treats them exactly the same as anybody else. The question is: How does an FAC demonstrate that you will be using that RIF for skirmishing (at an insured event) with? It doesn't - that is that. Cheers

I get what you are saying - but that essientially comes down to a judge of character, not the FAC itself. We all know the only thing that matters is: Is it for use at an insured event? Anything else is irrelevent and is at best a judgement call. So all things being equal i'd rather sell to someone with about 100 posts on an airsoft forum over someone with an FAC. As ever - very academic as maybe about a dozen people have fallen foul of s.37. Im just trying to say that having an FAC does not make you king of guns and when it comes to airsoft means FA. And i used to have an FAC so im allowed to say that Fwiw: in many respects getting an FAC was easier then UKARA - yes i had to have an interview bla bla but took a lot less then 3 months and with a lot less driving! Cheers

You don't need a UKARA to own replica imitation firearms. But most places in the UK won't sell you one unless you do. This to ensure that they can use the defense if charged with the offense. But this is academic - the point is the defence is for specific activities and a firearms license wouldn't satisfy anybody reasonable, let alone anyone cautious about being charged with a criminal offense under the VCRA, that you are purchasing the RIF for use in airsoft skirmishing. For all they know you might be merely a firearms enthuiast who wants a replica of a firearm he can't legally own.
