  1. Last few examples that have sold have all been for around the £250 mark with a single mag, so probably around £300-330 would be a reasonable ball park.
  2. OK - drink the koolaid if you like.
  3. The only real effect of barrel length is volume relative to the volume of whatever is providing the propulsion. The barrel length is ultimately irrelevant otherwise.
  4. Yes. They use OEMs to manufacture the items, then the companies get them branded for their own products independently. Neither make anything themselves specifically. Hence, they're in the same manufacturing location, because they're the same product from the same OEM. And this means that warhead *is* a rebrand regardless of any juxtapositioning. Easiest example of this in recent times is Nuprol. They don't make anything themselves either.
  5. Chaoli and KO's manufacturing are in virtually identical locations in China, not exactly rocket science to figure that one out.
  6. Warheads are the rebrand. Despite all their blustering, they don't make them.
  7. Got them for £85 last year from Land Warrior - fairly sure PB was also selling them cheap as well.
  8. That EBR is one I coveted greatly 😅
  9. 'BNIB' Mags which were muddy from them about a decade ago, never touched them again, unless they were the only option.
  10. Now with the ready availability of 3D Printed impacts that run off cap gun pellets, these are hard sell. I can have reliable one shot impacts for less than £5 a pop. They have to price it low, as otherwise they can't realistically compete any more. 92g in weight and 48 caps for £2.99.
  11. Because the 50 degree is for sub 1.49J, as UK is hard limit of 1.3J, there is no need for anything more. It's like RATech putting 70-80 degree as their default, because in taiwan, 2J is perfectly acceptable for a GBB.
  12. Crazy Jet is just pissing money into the wind, its proposed benefits are complete and utter bollocks. If you're using it in UK limits, 50 to 60 degree bucking from Silverback are lasting me approximately 10k bb's a go, and they're hopping 0.4's easily.
  13. Case in point, anyone buying anything PTW or HAO.
  14. I can still fog Revision's Desert locusts with the thermal lens and their anti-fog wipes, not so voodoo magic. It's all down to humidity and body heat, these things are all designed for environments with less than 50% average relative humidity, UK averages at around 50 - 60% in the summer and 80-90% during spring and winter. ExFog works well, its less expensive than the Novbitch one, and you can either fuck about with the magnetic end bits or just point the tubes in roughly the right direction - just don't forget to charge it the night before, because they don't hold juice very well (this applies to both ExFog and Novbitch ones).
  15. Would be, if they even existed for that. It's a low yield platform, so could be years before one exists.
  16. VFC can't get shit right first time, ever. So maybe wait 5 years until the Rev 2 appears.
  17. WE can fit RS stuff OOTB, the only thing needs doing to it is getting the steel trigger group from RATech almost immediately. Aftermarket availability on everything is significantly better. TM ones are good, but extremely expensive and pretty difficult to get hold of the mags. Physically completely offspec (as with anything TM, because Japanese laws require it), so don't expect to be able to fit anything on them except stuff designed specifically for them. GHK QC is dogshit, unless by some fluke you can find a used pre-2018 one, don't even bother.
  18. KWA feed lips are almost certainly the problem - they're renowned for it across the board. They're too stiff, and means in semi it can pick them up, but as soon as you have plenty of reciprocation, it messes up royally. For the LM4's you can convert them to single stack feeding, but that is only really an option for them, as nobody wants the KWA AK's, when other options are better.
  19. It's a common fault with the VFC Sigs - the springs & valves are too strong and need replacing immediately as the pistol is designed to run on the CO2 mags, so it just causes light striking on green gas ones.
  20. ACTO items, so you can try and buy them, but don't be surprised when you have to hand them back.
  21. Eww a wix site - if anything needed to be an indication of a dodgy retailer, its that.
  22. Given that its specifically Umarex USA & KWA, we probably won't see these until next year or at all.
