It doesn't look like it however shipping appears to be a flat rate just under €20 so best make it worth your while. I wanted to try their hop rubbers and nubs but forgot to add them 😅. My order was dispatched this morning with DHL so I can't even adjust my order.

If you were selling this as a functional prop for cosplayers (in the correct place) you might get your asking price tbh, I think you're selling it in the wrong place here. The Warhammer crowd have a lot of cash to throw on their 'plastic crack', even more than airsoft folks from what i've seen 😁 Personally, It looks good but it's too clean, it could use some weathering to match.

If it's the VFC one it can shoot a scatter of BBs like a shower shell or a projectile like a ball. Here's a video showing shower shells and a tip/cap type shell.

To test this i've dropped an order in for their rotary hop unit and associated extra parts. The UK is on their international shipping page in zone 2. Can't see any issues coming up unless they manually cancel the order. Time will tell

I'm planning on it however the way my shifts have been lining up recently mean that I haven't been able to get there. I kinda like the lower numbers games. You get a lot of freedom to move around but I understand where you're coming from, there's a lot more action with the bigger groups.

No pics as of yet but I've just got some guys tan A&K Masada (ACR) that's been sat around for a while. They say it's had the wiring repaired and the hop unit replaced as the old one cracked. The first thing I did is test fire it and jesus christ, this is the single loudest gearbox i've ever heard. Backing the motor height down a bit helped but holy crap it's loud but at least it works. I go to take the rails off the handguard and find that the guy has GLUED the rails to the bloody handguard... With a fair bit of effort I managed to get them off but left behind the glue. Once removed it appears the glue has discoloured the handguard so it's been given a quick once over with tan and brown paint as replacement handguards (in tan) are impossible to find online. Checking the wiring, it's been shoddily repaired with what look like spade connectors. Not massively worried as I planned on throwing a front wired Perun V2 hybrid into it seeing as it's a standard V2 gearbox. There's a fair few other things going on with it that require minor fiddling to fix. Looks like another potential project where the only place I forsee any real issues is surrounding the hop unit but there's a german company, Begadi, who make replacment CNC rotary hop units, hop arms and C-clips all for the Masada so I might skirt through that relatively unscathed.

Every time i've visited they had small yellow or orange zip-ties that they'd put on all guns/regulators to verify they'd been chrono'd and in the limits and I assume they applied them in a way so that they can't just turn up their regulators without removal. Not sure why they didn't this time but it's annoying to think that these woppers could be adjusting their power on the fly to intentionally hurt people. I don't understand why HPA locks aren't mandatory. Players have shown plenty of times they can't be trusted.

Played at District 23 again last night but this time with almost double the numbers than normal. Games were decent and the level of gameplay was fantastic minus one guy refusing to take a trade-kill when we both shot each other within touching distance. I just walked away, can't be bothered with that. Some guy had an absolutely silent Mk23 that you never heard before you felt it. It was insane. One dude got the drop on myself and a teammate and rather than shooting us in the back or legs, chose to shoot both of us in the back of the head with a HPA pistol. Cheers pal. One negative is that the staff never tagged/ziptied guns or regulators at chrono and I think some of them knew it and might've given themselves a bit of extra juice. Project gun performed fantastically again and never had any issues with BBs striking the tracer since swapping to a shorter Blaster Unit.

Ideally, you want an inner barrel that matches (or as close as possible) to your original inner barrel length. Additionally, if you're changing the inner barrel i'd suggest doing the bucking and nub at the same time. Personally, I always use the Maple Leaf Macaron 60 degree bucking on AEGs with the Maple Leaf Omega nub. Usually around £15-£20. Suppressors are mainly used for hiding longer inner barrels without having buying a longer outer barrel/handguard, housing tracer units or purely for aesthetics. Not functionality. 90% of noise from an AEG comes from the gearbox and not the muzzle. Peq boxes are pointless and mostly for aethetics or external batteries.

Is buying a Army Armament R85A2 a potential move if I want an L85A2 with the Daniel Defence style quad rail without paying through the nose for an ICS/G&G AEG and then sourcing a rail for even more cash? I'm aware that the R85A2 is crap in terms of reliability and internals quality however they're clones of the G&G L85s so spares should be plentiful and any issues that the gun has can likely be solved and internals upgraded (which I plan to do) for less than the cost of the other base guns. I can get one from the US for about £200 with the quad DD style rail included. Not bothered about working on it as it's half the fun i've found so far.

I'm so so deeply tempted to get a M9A3 but i'm still loving my Shadow 2 minus the slide locking issue due to the shitty ass recoil buffer piece that I still need to grind down.

Case and point. ActionHobbies just had a Mk16 (scar-l) TM NGRS with 3 mags up for £260. Came back 30 min or so later to send link to someone else, gone. Which one of you was it?

They're fantastic. Shipping cost is above average but arrives very quickly. Can't recommend enough.

That you do. There's been a few things i've spotted in there that I would've liked and less than a day later it's gone.

Never played one I liked. I utterly despise them. It's worse when paired with inconsistent and lazy marshalling.

£1300 is insanity for a GBB pistol. I'd much rather spend that on several "mid" guns that are different platforms. I like how PatrolBase classify it as a "skillful" players gun?

Another session at District 23 last night. A great night by all accounts. Around 15 or so players all of who were friendly and chatty asking about guns/gear etc. Marshalls were good but briefing could have been a bit more clear on some rules and some were missed out but no real issues at all. This was also the first time i'd got to field my project gun since 'finishing' the build. The first game was just a warmup of Team Deathmatch on the ground floor only. The level of play was great and all players involved were fantastic. The project gun was unbelievable. This thing had RANGE and accuracy i've not seen out of any of my other guns. I could shoot 0.25G tracers the length of the field and they'd only start to dip towards the absolute maximum. Deadly accurate too. During the first game I managed to consistently snipe people off a corner that looked onto 'main street' when they were barely peeking it, but the fun didn't last, the gun developed an interesting issue during the 2nd and 3rd game which i'll detail at the end of the post. Towards the end of the night some people left leaving 8 of us. With an hour left the marshalls decided we're playing 'main street madness' which is essentially one long corridor in the middle of the arena and you must touch the opposing teams wall to win. If you get hit, you take a knee and can be tagged in whenever by a teammate. If you all die, gameover. Format was BO3 and my team won two rounds in a row and with my project gun malfunctioning, I had to rely on my Shadow 2. A particular highlight was being on the opposite side of a piece of cover to an enemy, I moved out, double tapped him, then his buddy who jumped up to get a trade. I quickly flanked a large box piece of cover to shoot another enemy only to get killed by the 2nd guy who had been tagged back in. A teammate quickly traded the kill and won the 2nd and last round for us. The last game of the night was with the main lights off and only the UV lamps left on. The game was called 'Michael' which was essentially one of the marshalls in a bright orange boiler suit who moved around the arena attempting to melle kill you who gets progressively faster as the game goes on. At one point the marshall launcher himself over some waist high cover to land a hit on another player. How he didn't break something i've no idea causing he was zooming around the place like crazy. The dark was interesting as it made weapon lights useful but a huge giveaway for Michael to find you. Only niggle of the night was inconsistency of marshall rules across visits. When I played there two weeks ago, marshalls said multibangs are okay and even have a message from the site on Facebook confirming it. However, last night one marshall (without it being mentioned in the briefing) decided that multibangs are a no-go. Speaking to the marshalls on the field at the time, they say it's only this one guy who has a real issue with them and noone else can understand why he doesn't like them being used as there's no difference to throwing multiple single-bang pyro but it's his rules so that's how it is. Annoyingly, I couldn't use these pyro but couldn't stock up on any others as they were completely out of MK5s and EG67s... Also i'm pretty sure the marshall who doesn't want them used was also playing two weeks ago when I was using them and they said nothing then. Project gun woes; After the first game, the gun started doing something strange. Every 3rd or 4th shot it would skew a BB to the right and high massively as if it was applying loads of hop randomly then it would be fine for a few shots then do it again. Needless to say this was annoying. I took the gun back to the safe zone and stripped it down. I checked the outer barrel and it appears straight, checked the inner barrel and it appears straight. Checked the hop wasn't sticking. I unscrewed the suppressor/tracer unit to find that there's a load of white shavings (not shards or chips (see pics)) on the spring that tensions the tracer unit inside the suppressor sleve but no visible damage. I cleaned it off and reassembled the tracer unit and the gun and went back to playing. The gun lasted another round before it began doing the same thing again. I suspect the BBs are just nicking the end of the suppressor as they leave. Looking at the end-cap of the unit, it's got plenty of white residue on one side of it, this is likely where the BBs are striking it and skewing off. It just doesn't make sense why it's doing it after running perfectly for one game. I could just return it to Amazon for a refund and then get a tracer that has no empty space. Never had this issue with my B&T tracer which was a full length deal. I suspect that the empty space is allowing the BBs to rise/move ever so slightly before the reach the end of the suppressor sleeve causing them to skew off when they just catch it ever so slightly. Inner barrel is clear/clean as is the hop unit so the cause isn't further back and i've used these same BBs in my MP5 and they were perfect. Tracer unit is an Acetech AT2000 with the predator S suppressor sleeve.

Love the design. Would love BFGs with this kind of styling with a functioning & reusable/replaceable FOL. Surprised noone has done it yet. Closest thing to that functionality is the Torc Precision SF-DF but that's an impact BFG, not timed. I know single-use FOL pyro exist but pointless spending that extra cash when it's single use.
