  1. I've been looking around for a specific torrent of an old film for years, all I could really find were shitty webrips at 720p. A friend let me know he found the file on a private tracker, but he can't upload it. He shipped it to me via cargo ship and it's taking FUCKING AGES to arrive, over 3 months now. I really don't like pier to pier file sharing.
  2. As someone removed from the situation entirely, this doesn't feel fair to say! I've read this as carefully as possible and I might be missing some details, so please do let me know as I might have misunderstood. Here's my understanding though: - You both agreed on a sale - Buyer sent money over to you - The customer doesn't receive the item they expected, and DMs you through AFUK - The convo got deleted in your inbox somehow (I'd def report that to proffrink, that could cause all sorts of issues) - The PM's still in their inbox, so they don't have a reason to suspect something's wrong on AFUK - They don't receive a response, initiating a paypal claim - not really that unreasonable The negative feedback aspect is perhaps unfair in the sense that as you said, that PM got deleted and that shit can really fuck up a deal. They didn't know that though - it's unfair to stay angry at them once you realised there was a mix-up. The question you asked - why don't you start a new convo with me etc - is a fair one but there are questions in return I think: - Why don't you track money coming in or out of your paypal account, both in a notification sense and querying unexpected cash? - Why didn't you chase the buyer after not hearing anything? They're not entirely fair to ask and they of course prob have good explanations - but my point here is to say that both of you were in the same situation to start with. The moment a technical glitch became apparent should be the equalizer; a chance to de-escalate. E: Having said all that I def emphasize because feedback can't be removed I don't think, so you're stuck with it - that really sucks and it's annoying the forum software doesn't allow for it. My point is I don't think it's fair to blame them.
  3. You haven't covered the specific problems you were seeing, what were they? AEGs and GBBRs are both reliable and unreliable in different ways. I find that with GBBRs, their issues can often be fixed or reduced "in the field" like you'd expect for a real gun, whereas AEG issues tend to mean that gun is out of play for the day. But then in contrast, AEGs have a much lower chance of those issues appearing, if that makes sense.
  4. https://camoraids.com/product/camo-mp7a1-gbb-upgrade-service/ The service they provide here is great value imo, and it'll help with reliability for your MP7. They don't just fit the parts mentioned here, but they'll also polish the bolt carrier, fit a pad to the rear of it so it can handle the recoil better and so on. It made a big difference to my experience with TM MP7s - the bolt sticks less, which I found to be a big source of reliability issues.
  5. Can confirm Totally - every tube is unique, and there are far too many myths, misunderstandings and contradictions flying around. It has taken me a solid year of being outside every evening for at least 1 hour each time to understand how each specification affects the other; how the variables mix together. I think I'll start a thread somewhere here, stay tuned!
  6. I'm on the right - BNVD 931s (ANVIS-threaded 1431s) with Fenn lenses, US Aviation Gen3, Omni 6 or 7
  7. For what it's worth, I've heard that GHK's GBBR QC has dropped due to switching their team's primary focus to the G17.
  8. Cheers for the heads up - make sure to send the admins a PM! @Jedi_Masterand @proffrink etc.
  9. https://enimineairsoft.com/ For future ref, google search was "airsoft bouncing betty"
  10. Honestly this is out of the box but it's what I'm using to store some RIFs at my mum's house - semi-rigid, tall, laundry basket: You can use towels as spacers, or something like a camping mat cut up into strips. Set them so the weight of them makes the basket rest against a wall, cupboard etc. with a towel over the top if any barrels are sticking out. Is it ideal? Far from! But it's dirt cheap. Sorry to hear about your separation.
  11. I can't give you an answer directly, but the best I can do is to strongly advise that you figure out which manufacturer JingGong cloned the RPK from. Broadly, if the magazine is compatible with the original model then you shouldn't have an issue with the clone as well.
  12. Solid plan - but no pictures! Make sure to take plenty as you go through the process, it'll be a fun build diary.
  13. I think ultimately for stuff like this, expectation management is the key. I.e. in this specific example, ghillies are always a contentious issue for reasons exactly like this so I'd expect a site during the briefing to say something like "Yo, ghillies might wear their armband on their leg to make it harder for them to get spotted. However this does mean they might get engaged by friendlies who aren't sure of their team, but that's both party's decision to make" and so on.
  14. It's up to however the site wants to implement ghillie-specific rules. If they don't have a requirement to keep the armband on the arm, then I wouldn't feel bad about shooting someone with one around their ankle if it came to it.
