A quick Google search shows airsoft guns are legal in South Africa so why not just get it sent directly to you? This way you won't need to get a 2 tone and your sister won't have the extra hassle of dealing with the airline. Also the airline may insist it's in a locked case which will eat up any savings compared to shipping to RSA)

Oh dear

No it's not just you. If you zoom in it looks like it's in the box behind the upper receiver The cynic in me says its subtlety holding the thing together

Most of my guns don't have any upgrades but on the rare occasion I do change something it's usually the hop rubber. It's worth posting that IMO you should always play a game or two with the gun totally stock rather than upgrading parts beforehand. This gives you a better idea of what, if anything needs changing

If you're being shot at by something which can burst a camelbak then I suggest finding a new site as that should never happen at uk power levels. I find one useful in the hotter months as having the drinking tube within sight acts as a visual reminder to stay hydrated, rather than waiting till I feel thirsty

According to the link below having a serious conviction isn't an automatic disqualification from having a taxi licence, but how this guy got one is still beyond me and makes me think there's something dodgy going on https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/assessing-application-taxi-driver-licence#toc-4

I recommend getting 2 batteries to make sure you can keep going all day

Have you played a game yet? If not then I suggest renting for a couple of games. This will help you determine what suits you best. Also you'll be able to see what others are using and can ask about anything you like the look of. Most airsofters are happy to show off and talk about their guns. Also getting site membership first means you won't be stuck having to buy a two tone. I don't own any of the Edge range of specna arms guns but I do have one from the Core range and I'm more than happy with it for both build quality and performance. As others have posted, barrel length makes bugger all difference in airsoft so go with whatever length you prefer

Well it has been 27 years since the Good Friday Agreement so I guess most of the real paramilitaries are either retired or dead. As I understand it many of them simply went into organised crime

Try an anti fog treatment like cat crap https://www.google.com/search?q=cat+crap+anti+fog&oq=cat+cra&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqDggBEEUYJxg7GIAEGIoFMgYIABBFGDkyDggBEEUYJxg7GIAEGIoFMgoIAhAAGLEDGIAEMgcIAxAAGIAEMgcIBBAAGIAEMgcIBRAAGIAEMgcIBhAAGIAEMgcIBxAAGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgcICRAAGIAEMgcIChAAGIAEMgcICxAAGIAEMgcIDBAAGIAEMgcIDRAAGIAEMgcIDhAAGIAE0gEIMzE1MmowajeoAhSwAgE&client=ms-android-samsung&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 If you do buy new eye protection whatever you get make sure it's the right safety rating. EN 166F is what's needed.

What an absolute bellend. With a record like that I'm surprised he didn't get longer

Almost got a full house on my dodgy advert bingo card. No mention of the model type, or even what range it's from No mention that it's a resprayed 2 tone Low fps Finally I get the impression it comes in 2 parts Edit: that's 2 for 2 of this guy's adverts ending up in Mack's

Welcome

I was always told to fire off a few shots on semi auto to ensure the piston is forward. Any truth to this or is it another airsoft myth?

I can't see how selling then wouldn't be legal, after all they're just metal balls. Using them in a rif in game would probably open a shit storm of legal problems. I'm not sure using metal bbs would be good for the internals, especially the inner barrel

Good to hear. Unfortunately I've seen it happen before where people have started off just helping out and soon ended up basically running the site while the owner sat around doing fuck all

If you're unsure whether it's the chrono then try borrowing one next time you're on site and doing the test again over lunchtime.

I'm kind of playing devil's advocate here. What are they offering for your time? If nothing then I'd say no as you'd be giving them free labour while missing out on playing time. Also beware that once every so often doesn't slowly turn into every weekend

Could the warmer weather soften the hop rubber and change how effective it is without damaging it?

I checked and adding p&p brings the total to £19:84 for an iron on patch. I've had custom blood type patches from the US for half that

But it comes with a cleaning rod😁😁😁 Ok this isn't airsoft but I think the level of piss taking deserves an honourable mention https://themandatoryfunday.com/en-gbp/products/side-quest-live-laugh-toaster-bath-iron-on-patch-no-velcro?variant=48209c01-6dbc-426a-b2e7-939e5aa706da&utm_content=YT3-Mw6reK250wvo9DgniLAQVLe6EkPb-PsDVTPpCyADqGg8Mbg4dF6YtT3ivPbQXfMbdVwg06g-NzD96-yFUpLCm2buFgVs92VKx8vK&utm_term=UCq_IooL5-mnPOXnjxxfRMrA&utm_medium=product_shelf&utm_source=youtube
