Can you tell I've taken a step back from spending my kids inheritace on airsoft?
 
Spending it on 'other things'
 
Hands up if you've spend your fair share of time in the back of a crowded landy.

The end result, quite chuffed with it tbh.
 
I'm sure my old SM would have a fit if I left any weapon like this tho.

Just get into vintage 1:1 model making 

Typical riflemen normally lost 😜

We do, usually faster than everyone else 🤣

My name's Stewart I am 6,5 and over weight. I lack imagination.

When I first joined arnies I saw loads of usernames with really cringeworthy stuff like leetsniperdeltaforcesas in them so I went for the opposite. Since then I've usually stuck with it 

Lol, we'll done, I've often thought about starting a similar thread when I've seen some fairly obscure usernames.
 
Mine came from being a young squaddie in the early eighties, my surname is Dewberry, & was a big lad from a young age (6ft at 11), bigger than the recruits around me, & would get lumbered with the biggest gun, gimpy or bren usually.
Around the same time police academy came out at the cinema, next thing I know one of the DS made the comparison between me & the films character Tackleberry, big guy with the biggest gun, & they stopped calling me Dewberry,  Tackleberry was born👶

If you want reasonably simple, try Flames of war. The older stuff is white metal but the more recent stuff and the "Team Yankee" WW3 stuff is all plastic.

Well, I saw this and it was hilarious.

GOLD PLATED DESERT EAGLES!!!

HPA fanboys...

Love the pressure gauge under the end of the barrel.  No wonder so many wear eye patches...

I for one welcome our new insouciant cyborg overlords.
 

If only we could make Airsoft as cool as Air Pistol Shooting.

It's been really great the way that AIrsoftWorld have handled this, and I hope they don't get hung out to dry by G&G.
 
However, my primary concern is owners, who are out £400 for a paperweight that they've been told not to use until-and-if a fix is rolled out, while the clock is running on their right to reject.
 
And a gen 1 (or 2 or 3 or 4) fix for gen 1 problems is often pushed out by marketing rather than engineering, so I'd be hesitant to trust anything rolled out in haste now.
 
Frankly, I'd hope to see a recall of all guns sold, and (at minimum) a retailer fix applied.  Because if they send out new grips to owners, and they still fail, then it might become a "Well, you must have fitted it wrong" wrangle. The longer you hang onto it, the harder it'll be to get your money back.
 
tl;dr - if I'd bought one, it would be on the way back for a refund, no reasons given.  Which suck for retailers, but it sucks more for owners.

We agree. The grip is too brittle and should be either more flexible (nylon or polypropylene) or a rigid engineering polymer like Delrin. Or a decent metal/alloy. 
It is obvious that the stresses on the bolt that secures the grip is vastly increased with the weight and leverage physics of the stock and possibly the longer upper on the 15” model. There has been no reports of the shorty failing at all, which backs this theory.
All three of our failed rifles were on green gas. The first one we filled, the other two verified by the customers, who we know and trust. Plus there were witnesses who confirmed…
We did have the foresight to quadruple check all avenues before broadcasting such a damning post. We have no desire for being sued by G&G for one. Secondly, we now have 59 rifles to micro-manage towards a solution. 
Fun days!

For the record: There are other LevAR rifles that have had the same issue, so it’s not restricted to the one dealer and only one of the three rifles that ‘exploded’ was two tone painted. We rarely dismantle guns for two toning as was the case with this one. So just to clarify; none of the three rifles we sold were tampered with or altered in any way, other than one, which was simply masked and spray painted.
We also received a response from G&G later today (Sunday) telling us that they knew of this issue last week. They also asked us to remove our Facebook post, which we obviously refused to do. So, have a think about what’s happened here please as these are the facts, which is very important. 

Any site that plays semi only but allows hpa spam at a faster rate than most stock ages on full auto are just stupid. Same with the sudden aversion to tri-shots or gas shells. I had a site the other day tell me no moscart's at close range. The old mosquito mould 180's that are probably older than some players. Where else are you supposed to use them? You could probably throw a hand full of ammo harder but no, that's over kill. 7 rounds to the face though at dead on the limit in semi auto... Rock on!
 
 
I don't care about trigger spam, that's how they have set up the gun. If they want to use that then groovy. What I do care about is a level playing field. If they are going to do that then the opposing player should be able to light them the fuck up. 

Much better
This. After the success of their other gas shotguns I'm surprised tm haven't released one
