  1. Twice in that ad "In perfect condition, apart from...." Also yeah, the Jag version is around £130 in actual perfect condition.
  2. Back on topic. It seems they've gone back to the drawing board with both the gen.4 19 & 17. I saw on their twitter that in December they were offering owners of either the opportunity to apply for a new hammer assembly for either model. Seems some of the measurements were out. Also a few UK retailers have recently received Marui deliveries and neither model seems among the items restocked. So I guess there will be a new batch in which this issue doesn't occur.
  3. To me this would definitely be blind firing, although yes possibly a loop hole in that sense. The phrase they tend to use in safety briefings is "we're not Americans"
  4. I made a cardboard periscope at school. Will have to see if it's up in the loft.
  5. Going back six years or so when I started playing, "Blind Firing" was described as only presenting the weapon. Most typically around a door or over a wall. Rules against this make sense, it's both potentially dangerous and unfair. However the last few sites I've visited, have stated it's when you fire without looking down your sights (e.g. hip firing). This doesn't make sense to me, I mean you wouldn't shoulder a mini gun. One player was chastised for rotating his gun on his shoulder while he angled around a corner, even though in this scenario they were both shouldering it and looking down the iron sights. What say you? Has something changed or is my interpretation incorrect? Obviously site rules vary from place to place, which have you experienced and which do you think it should be?
  6. I had a similar experience after buying a RIF from Asia (border force letter and visit). Not sure on the law regarding knives, I do however know that an import licence is a real thing.
  7. Apart from price, is there any difference between something like this and the ones which are marketed as airsoft specific? (Abbey, Nuprol etc) https://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-and-fluids/lubricating-and-penetrating-oil/halfords-silicone-spray-lubricant-500ml-621277.html
  8. I concur but the long and the short of it is there's not one big airsoft youtuber, who doesn't use clickbait titles and at least a big dollop of manufactured drama.
  9. Yeah, there's like a 95% chance that you get ripped off. Either you're mug enough to want to pay £40 for a battered mag or you're expecting the seller to include the RIF and they don't.
  10. That's the fourth one, actually one of my favs. Airsoft punt gun anyone?
  11. Liked for the Tremors 2 reference. After watching the original as a child, I discovered there were in fact seven films and a TV series. Until now I felt like I was the only person in the world who'd seen past the first!
  12. This is one of my biggest peeves with the hobby, gender inequality.... I mean when a man runs out of BB's or has an issue with their equipment, they have to go back to the safe zone. A 4/10 woman with pink hair, will have a queue of simps longer than the chrono queue at 9am.
  13. From the photo's looks like it's for women only? Not many on here I'm afraid.
  14. It'd be near impossible for anyone to give you an accurate answer. Focus on getting everything where you want it first and chrono afterwards. Spring changes on Evo's can be done almost instantly, so if you don't have a chrono at home, take a slightly weaker spring with you just in case. I will also add I wasn't a fan of the CNC hop unit. It's obviously made by ASG too but for some reason you need to meticulously shim it or lose 100+fps. In my experience (I've owned several Evo's), they all hop 0.28's nice and straight for 50M+ out the box. I can't understand why you'd need more than that from an SMG. I also didn't see an improvement in range from swapping the bucking or barrel. Again IMO, they're ideally suited for the job OOTB.
  15. I've had two of these. One in each of the different box designs. In fact I know that when mine arrived in the yellow box, it had been sent directly from the WE factory.
  16. How many of us have small springs hiding in our homes?
  17. What are you talking about!? Most I've been to make SHOT show look like a flea market.
  18. I can hear the creaking from here. Only joking, love a bit of nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.
  19. When you play squash, you charge around a small walled court, smashing in to the walls and skirmming your racket a long the floor. As such squash players know they can't get a refund after one game, let alone sixteen. IMO, it's a long the same lines with an Airsoft gun. As soon as you take the tags off and throw it around the woods, their obligation ends.
  20. I noticed that too. I know they're cautious when it comes to H&K markings. Obviously Umarex "make" both the licenced H&K and Glock replicas.
  21. IMO, you should speak to people at game days (and ideally hold theirs) and go to shops, again getting an idea of what you like ergonomically speaking. In the meantime sort your UKARA, otherwise you may regret dropping £300 on a brightly coloured one.
  22. I can't help with your specific question I'm afraid. However I have bought from them a few times and can tell you that the vast majority of negative feedback they receive is because if you annoy them, they will literally tell you to fuck off. Usually nothing to do with the items they stock.
  23. May sound silly but have you checked your chrono is reading as you'd expect it with your other guns? I had one that started giving seemingly random readouts. At first I thought it was the gun but bought another and was getting the results I expected.
