I have had more interesting usernames elsewhere. I was "Paddy" on Techbrigade, ASCUK, UKASC and Arnies, on account of having Irish Roots. As I got old and boring I just started using an abbreviated "real" name. I remember a load of guys signed up to ASCUK as a team and were "Wolf Squad Gunnner" "Wolf Squad Sniper" "Wolf Squad Leader" and then pmd the admins for name changes when the team broke up. I do remember the time HaVoC MaN got himself banned, and we weren't using validation on new users, so he immediately rejoined as Beakersuxcock...

I had an old pair of trackers that I managed to scratch the lens. Used them as a test pair, quite happily tool a .177 air rifle pellet without marking or deforming. Not massively scientific, but I was curious, having seen some alegedly "mil-spec" goggles crack from a 500fps sniper test. -
The Met released their gun crime figures this morning and interestingly stated that 46% of the 386 firearms recovered last year were converted blank firers. Note that they have specifically said Blank Firers so hopefully we have moved away from the bollocks about "replica guns converted with tools bought from B&Q" that was being spouted back in 2006. I would be curious as to wether these were UK Spec or illegally imported European Spec front venting - I suspect the latter as that was the finding of Merseyside police a few years ago. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/articles/cxee411r07xo.amp

Possibly you need to degrease the plastic first to remove any mould release agent. Also roughening any shiny surface might help key the paint to the surface. Solvent based paints will also adhere to the surface better than acrylics. You could also consider coloured nail varnish instead of paint.
