Pseudotectonic

I think you mean s 38(2)(b), which needs to be read in conjunction with s 38(3)(a), also, "imitation firearm not being regarded as distinguishable from a real firearm for any practical purpose if it could be so distinguished only on a close examination" does not provide that imitation firearm can be regarded as distinguishable from a real firearm on a close examination, only 38(3)(a) has that provision.

IF and RIF are two distinct catagories, the law basically says, if it looks real (i.e. black), it is RIF, unless it is two-tone (one of the "bright" colours), then it is considered unrealistic by law, therefore it is not an RIF but an IF. If someone thinks 25% bright pink is not a firearm... it does not matter what someone thinks, because legally, it does not fulfil the criteria to be regarded as "unrealistic".

Maybe the piston teeth is fucked so it's just the gears turning

Look at that subtle off-white decor. The tasteful daylighting of it. Oh by God, it even has a tripod...

Need to get a replace gear And to fix the cause of the breaking I suspect shimming issues from factory

20k Warhead motor so you can full-auto all day

Which of the following is a common name for the Imitation Firearm that can be purchased without UKARA? A. Blue bone B. Safe zone C. Two scone D. Orange clone

Prime suspect is nozzle Next is bucking

Tappet plate spring unhooked maybe

Oh wait hang on, is the back of the board touching the gearbox? If there's anything behind wouldn't that short things out? Does it need a spacer or something?

Looking at the solder joints I think it's sub-par quality and the top FET in your circled appears to have a cold solder joint on the bottom leg (meaning poor contact) So if it's a repeated issue I would switch to another brand of MOSFET

Yes the one with 7.4 ? Dunno why but it just seems like something that would certainly has its own Wiki page, but it doesn't. Even the VCRA has its own page.

Out of curiosity I noticed the UKARA website does not mention who runs the UKARA database other than a GDPR policy and an ICO registration number. A simple search on the ICO website returns a nondescript address in Cornwall next to a notable government agency facility. I am also surprised by the fact that UKARA has no Wikipedia entry. It almost seems like they are deliberately trying to be secretive which makes my curiosity grow even more. Which begs the question, who even is UKARA?

Not sure if same gun but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lWX9jwgNU8

28+ TPA motor or warhead motor, 13:1 gears, good shim job, as big a battery you can get, mosfet, short stroke and harder springs, bigger wires, supercapacitors...

I find it hard to believe chucking solid blocks of aluminium at people is acceptable gameplay at all because you can crack skulls and disfigure peoples faces with it.

It's a zombie RIF, very illegal under Offensive Weapons Act 2019.

It's fine, as long as the inner barrel is still supported and not rattling around inside the outer barrel. If you have a drill you can try polishing the inside of the existing inner with some metal polish which might give you better result than getting a new one.

I think the other one is better looking because the wear pattern is more genuine. By genuine I mean you can basically picture his grip and the usage pattern from the wear marks. It seems you have tried to artificially recreate the wear pattern but, like many other similar attempts by other people, because it's not a real usage pattern, it doesn't look as good as the real ones IMO. I would argue the only way to a great wear pattern is to wear it off naturally. Maybe even choosing the paint that have better flake-off characteristics or something, because the real steel patterns (at least the better looking ones) seem to have more flaking/chipping offs than fading offs. So perhaps the secret is in the precision or resolution of the wear pattern, i.e. the sharper the better. But it also depends on the body material I guess. (Can't find good examples but this one has sharp flake offs:)

Sometimes I wonder if gold paint is not too far off from the various "RAL8000s" in rifles etc (especially the cerakote one)

Also for ghost hunting? ????? https://www.spiritshack.co.uk/shop/thermal-imaging-camera/

My first thought as well but multiple outlets seem to all report the same thing. But perhaps they bent the barrel by accident and so had to call it an imitation instead:

As already pointed out, "two-tone" is only the colors specified in the law (see below) so you will need to choose the actual two-tone spray paint option. Your parents should not be able to buy a black/tan without UKARA anyway because it is not "two-tone" legally speaking. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/2606/regulation/7/made

It sounds like a thermal problem, you take the gearbox out of the rifle and try to recreate the problem, and check by touching if any part is heating up when the problem appears. Maybe the battery is heating up, maybe the wires is heating up, maybe the mosfet is heating up, maybe the motor is heating up.

From this page: https://www.devtsix.com/racal-frontier-ra5500-t15208.html But I suggest checking with some trial and error with spare wires and alligator clips before actual soldering.
