  1. As far as I know, they only come with Deans. You could always buy batteries with Deans or just change the Perun Deans connector to a Tamiya.
  2. If you install the Perun, you can run any battery. However, NiMHs are old technology; LiPOs are much better. The SkyRC chargers are very good.
  3. It is a five minute job. https://perunairsoft.pl/products/etu_plusplus/
  4. The G&G mosfets cut off when the battery voltage drops below a certain level. That level is much closer to the full battery charge for a 9.6v than it is for an 11.1v. The experience that you had is quite common when running G&G mosfets on anything lower than an 11.1v battery. However, some G&G mosfets run fine on 9.6v, 8.4v or 7.4v; G&G sent me one when I had a conversation with them about it. The best thing you can do is replace the mosfet (not the trigger unit) with a Perun ETU++; it does not mind which voltage you use and has a number of useful features.
  5. Forget about the toy gun for now and focus on how you can maintain a positive ongoing relationship with your son. That has to be your priority; you can always buy another gun.
  6. I assume that the Nuprol battery is an 11.1v; the G&G mosfets really need an 11.1v.
  7. If you have bought issue AKU Pilgrim boots, take them back if you can. The heels wear down very quickly and they are far from being waterproof, despite the GoreTex lining.
  8. I haven't used the Wii Tech one as the SHS one does an excellent job.
  9. I have the SHS hop in mine; it performs really well. I think I have a Wii Tech one somewhere as I bought both of them.
  10. The G&G ETU is a trigger unit and a board; you can swap the board part of it for the Perun ETU++.
  11. She does not need a defence to keep it or to sell it; however, before selling it to you, she needs to be sure that you have a defence. Attempting to sell it to you would almost certainly not be a criminal act. Tackle's advice is good, as ever.
  12. In 2021, which is the last year for which full data is available, Germany's trade deficit with China was 39,399,934,000 Euros, which is Germany's largest trade deficit with any country. According to the German Economic Institute (Institut der Deutschen Wirtschaft), the 2022 deficit was 41 billion Euros by the middle of 2022.
  13. Shipping rates from China have also dropped to the extent that shipping lines are limiting the number of voyages to try to push the rates up. For some reason, export of RIFs is now only allowed through Hong Kong.
  14. Logistics issues do not just impact items coming from China;).
  15. No problem; I am sure there are other sites locally, but those were the ones that came to mind.
  16. You just book into events; most players are friendly and I suspect that he will make friends at whichever site(s) he attends. Players are usually happy to chat about their kit and guns. If you are in the East Surrey/West Kent area, you could try the following: Ace Combat (near Paddock Wood) - small, but decent for beginners. Dog tag (near Faygate) Driver Wood (near Crawley) Tactical Warfare Airsoft (near New Addington) - lots of youngsters.
  17. That is a result of the lockdowns in China, their current policy on exporting airsoft guns, and continuing logistics issues. Retailers cannot stock what they cannot get.
  18. Times are hard for everyone, including airsoft retailers; their operating costs have gone through the roof while sales have decreased, partly through unavailability of stock due to lockdowns in China and the lingering impact of logistics issues. Already tight margins have been squeezed to the point where offering discounts is not viable.
  19. 1. Heavier BBs tend to give greater accuracy and longer range. 2. Yes, if it is locked to semi, although you would be very close to the limit. Bear in mind that not all chronos read the same so you could end up not being able to use it if the site chrono reads higher than your one. 3. While power has an impact on range, a high quality barrel (not a Madbull Python!), hop unit, rubber and nub are vital, as is ensuring that you have excellent airseals and that the barrel and cylinder are properly matched. To push the power up to 1.87J, you need to fit a stronger spring; to pull back that stronger spring, you are almost certainly going to need a high torque motor. However, there is far more to setting up a DMR than that. Your site is sensible in using Joules rather than FPS; 1.88J is around 450 FPS using a 0.20g BB. Impulse gave you good advice.
  20. Negative Luke was not hugely impressed with the Kestrel V2, although it may fit much better in the DE gearbox.
  21. An antiques dealer would price it at about £250.

    🤣😂🤪 You're having a giraffe!
  23. A second hand, resprayed two tone for well over the price of a new one; I can't see the problem.
  24. Those were the days! For some reason, my Hurricane SR47 would not feed their BBs; every other gun loved them, but not the SR47.
