  1. Most bio BBs don't swell up, or at least modern ones don't (although their "biodegradability" is questionable). In any case, don't use poor quality BBs, bio or not...
  2. I used to use one of those vests with my P90... it's a bit of a squeeze, but the big pouches at the bottom of the vest are *just* big enough to fit two P90 mags each (although it may make the vest stick out a bit at the sides due to how long P90 mags are).
  3. In my experience the cheap pot metal has a tendency to become brittle over time (and in some cases expand & cause lockups). I bought some Chinese guns pre-VCRA and while they were all fine to begin with they all suffered from this issue over time and needed replacement parts after a few years or so regardless of use. OTOH all of the Tokyo Marui guns I have from that time are still fine, with the oldest being close to 20 years old now.
  4. That's why I decided to get some BBs of various brands to examine and come to my own conclusions. AFAIK there are only a handful of OEM BB manufacturers (all seemingly based in Taiwan - I can't think of any BBs I've used that weren't made in Taiwan) that the various Airsoft brands buy from, with the only real difference being the material spec/tolerances/cost.
  5. Ares BBs seem to be the floor sweepings: I tested some bio BBs a while back and the 0.25g Nuprols actually seemed pretty reasonable, however the 0.20g Nuprols I tested were a quite soft & easy to deform. I guess how good/bad they are probably varies by weight/composition/whether they're bio or not as well as from batch to batch etc... The G&G 0.25s seemed ok but I found air bubbles in some of them. Geoffs seem to be the best overall out of all of the BBs I tested (I did notice they were a little on the softer side, but didn't think they were soft enough to be concerned about... that may be an issue for GBBRs though).
  6. It's not a Brexit thing or just our government; the EU has been planning to do this for some time and would have introduced it at the same time as us, but they delayed implementing them until July due to the coronavirus: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/vat/modernising-vat-cross-border-ecommerce_en

  8. I made my first order with Wolf Armouries recently & it's been a rather disappointing experience. I ordered a Tokyo Marui KSG from Wolf Armouries over the Easter weekend. They were doing an offer of 5% off guns/10% off accessories so the price was decent & I also bought an pack of extra shells with it. Shipment/delivery was fast (it was sent the following Tuesday and delivered the next day, Wednesday 15th) and it was well packed - all good so far. Unfortunately it looks like Marui's QC dropped the ball on this KSG as the one I received was defective - the pump locked up in the rear position before I was even able to fire it once In addition to that the gas tank seems to fit quite tightly and I had to push it out from the chamber side to remove it (it's possible that may just be because it's new and needs to be broken in a bit, but none of the reviews I read mentioned this and videos showed the tank popping out easily by itself when the release lever was pressed). Anyway I emailed Wolf Armouries about it and waited. A couple of days later I hadn't received any reply so that Friday I tried the contact form on their website in case my first email didn't go through or otherwise was missed (it was sent as a reply to the order confirmation). That message did get through to them and they sent me a reply a few hours later wanting my phone number so their engineer could ask some questions before they arrange a collection, however I didn't notice & reply to it until late on Monday because gmail had marked it as spam. I asked to deal with it via email as that would be a lot easier for me, and in anticipation of their questions described exactly what had happened with the KSG in as much detail as I could. I still hadn't received a reply to this by Friday - and I'd been sure to regularly check my spam this time so I wouldn't miss any more of their emails - so I tried the contact form again and included the reply with it. As of today I still haven't heard back from Wolf Armouries. I understand that things will be slower than usual due to the lockdown, but it's now been two weeks since the KSG was delivered and I first contacted them, and almost a week after I last tried contacting them, and I still seem to be no closer to getting this resolved.
  9. Found these while going through some old backups from years ago.
  10. My Tokyo Marui P90, my favourite & one of my oldest guns. Doesn't look much different to stock externally, but it's had a few upgrades: G&P metal upper receiver Prometheus 6.03 barrel, Prometheus purple hop rubber, AirsoftPro "stability snob" Guarder air seal nozzle, Guarder steel cylinder head, Guarder chromed cylinder Guarder polycarbonate piston with Systema Area 1000 aluminium piston head Guarder SP90 spring Prometheus bearing spring guide Systema oilless metal bushings Prometheus hard cut-off lever Stock motor & gears Wired with a basic MOSFET (IRF2804, used to have an active braking MOSFET module fitted but replaced it as it made the main spring make a "boing" noise after firing whenever it was fired on semi auto), blade fuse, Deans connector Does a little over 330fps
