I always take that claim with a pinch of salt regardless of who makes it. Just because the seller didn't fire it, that doesn't mean a QA technician in the factory, distributor, retailer, prospective customer in the shop, etc, didn't fire it to make sure the gun worked, do a test fire to see if they liked it or to see it was within legal limits for example. I assume it had been fired a few times before at some point between being manufactured and landing in the hands of the seller. At least 3 of my guns have test fire cards/sheets in the box so I know the "never fired" claim is untrue anyway.

You almost have to admire his persistence and confidence, even if both of those qualities are the polar opposite of reality.

Somehow despite the far from pristine form and function, the seller thinks the additional mags, battery and thirteen-in-a-dozen dot sight push the bundle up to on par with Super5ives pricing for the gun brand new (or £30 more than Patrol Base's OoS listing).

It may be worth recalibrating your trigger.

Being a bank holiday weekend, we should have seen this coming. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/38509-nutropol-m4 Asking for £180 used on a Nuprol rifle worth £100-120 new and the seller can't tell M-LOK from Keymod either.

Very sad to hear when a site shuts down but as they said, there is a silver lining when a new site opens up! 😁

While ownership of an IF for a minor may be legal as a gift from a parent to their kids for example, the implication is that it would be used in the presence of a responsible adult. As implied, it only takes one moment of fooling about to escalate very quickly to a life-changing injury or worse. Even on private land, you can be held liable for any injuries that happen and I don't imagine you or the land owner have a liability insurance policy protecting you. I don't want to rain on your parade as I am glad to see future generations of airsofters join the sport. I just think you're better off playing at an insured skirmish site or a shooting range for the point of safety, even if there's a cost to it.

I recommend Redcon-2 (Dalton Barracks, near Abingdon) as well . I was also there on Easter Sunday. The rules of engagement prevent speedy boi style of play. You're allowed to run HPA pistols on M4 mags but trigger spamming and pre-emptive firing will get you on the wrong side of the marshals. It's about 70 acres of land and they have a cap on the players they allow on the field based on the number of marshals they have booked in. They do a variation of games such as "total war" in the morning with set objectives for the morning session then in the afternoon, they split it into two 50-minute games with attacker and defender roles swapped. Redcon-2 also has milsim events every month or so.

Well that's not true. AEP has ongoing costs in needing to charge batteries and the fact that rechargable batteries have finite charging cycles so they will need to be replaced in time. Consumables are part of play, some are just more overt than others. I don't even think AEP is worth it as a stop-gap "solution" because they're barely better than when I used one 20+ years ago. If anything, I'd say the gap between AEP and GBBP is greater now than it was back then. The other ongoing cost you perhaps haven't considered is depreciation. AEP is undesirable on the brand new market, even more so in the used market as the battery may be in poor charging health and getting spares may be a pain. If I can be so bold to speak for the other respondents, we're saying this because all of these criticisms of AEP are like cases where we've seen no shortage of people who despite advice given to them, they went ahead anyway and bought something they went on to really dislike and became more frustrated trying to resell it.

Out of interest, which G&G model caught your eye? I wouldn't avoid the brand though depending on the model you buy, can can get more out of your hard-earned. Have you looked at the Double Eagle M904/M906 series? The former looks like it's being phased out for the latter to replace it and it is much less expensive but the M904 was regarded was an AEG that gave (and still gives) really good value for money.

Yes, the site's rules will definitely help as some sites permit a minimum of an electronic means of limiting yourself to safe and single-shot fire only whereas some insist that you also have a mechanical means to prevent your firing selector being switched to full auto even if your MOSFET or whatever electronic firing system is limited to single shot only. The Vorsk model is only in its first iteration of production but as others pointed out, its low temperature performance has yet to be seen. I suspect ChatGPT has suggested it only because it is by, for want of a better a term, a box shifter brand rather being a model that has been extensively field-tested as a DMR.

Though the broken part of the upper receiver doesn't affect the red dot, you've essentially lost your right-hand iron sight so some functionality has been impaired. You could see £120-150 because it's a TM though I wouldn't be surprised to see people bartering toward the bottom end because of the upper damage.
