Actually it's illegal to modify a gun to make it look realistic, so painting a two tone (or removing the bright paint) to effectively make it a RIF is illegal (though temporarily modifying, and restoring - i.e. camo tape, is fine).
(edit - I should add you can do so if you have a valid defence - i.e. active UKARA registration)

You could have completed quoting me in which case my text would also have said that you can if you have a valid defence - I edited my post a good 30-40 minutes before you posted your reply so please do NOT misquote me.

You had written your original post as if it was perfectly legal to buy a two-tone because you did not have a defence to enable you to buy a RIF, then to convert it to a RIF. Your only warning was against melting the ABS plastic. MY post was fully justified.

As Airsoft_MrB has said - might be worth going with rentals. While ti might look like ~£50 a day, by the time you've taken out cost for the day, free BBs and possible lunch, you're looking at only about £5-10, which after 3 sessions is not much more (if at all) than you'd pay for a two-tone service - also two-tones are also a lot harder to sell (though as a result you might find one in the for sale section for a song).

I don't think you're causing an issue. There are just a few legal considerations involved that you may want to consider.
On the other hand, I can see no reason why you can't go to a local airsoft site and have some fun with the gun if it takes your fancy. You never know, it may turn out to be something you enjoy. You never know, you may bump into him one day and be able to shoot him with his own gun

Sorry, but got to call utter BS on that one.
 
Also, as some one else has pointed out, all pellets can shatter on hitting mesh goggles. Should also be noted there seems to be far fewer reports of pellets splitting in the gun with blasters than the majority of other brands.
 
Oh and their own description

Realsword! \o/

Another GHK G5 lover here.
 
You have to go in to GBBRs eyes open. Your mags have far less amo (GHKs are ~36 for M4 mags, 45 (?) for AK) so if you play at a spam fest you may well feel under-gunned. Also G5 is affected by the cold, just not necessarily as bad as others. In ~2-3 degrees C I was managing a whole mag, but the last few shots were starting to show signs of cool down (not from rapid fire). Also mags are a LOT more expensive and you need more of them. I carry 6 - which weigh a lot and in this country would cost you ~£250 (plus the one that came with the gun).
 
As to reliability - they are just as reliable as AEGs however need more (simple) maintenance. You just need to clean and lube them after every day you've been playing, plus leave gas in the mags. Follow the basics and they won't go wrong on you.
 
Oh one other downside - they eat optics. The cheap airsoft optics can rarely take the recoil of a GBBR (and some of the more aggressive recoil AEGs). After two optics (and a torch) shaking apart on me I've gone real steel (at the lower end - a Vector Optics unit).
 
Half tempted by a GHK AK myself, but can't justify it.

Beyond your first year you only need to play at the same site you're registered through once a year to maintain listing, so the site you are with are bull shitting unless you've not played for a lot longer than you think.

Didn't know this thread was here. Been playing since the closed beta days. I bounce around with what I play - presently concentrating on a US T37 - close the the M41 but having a blast in it. Only bought two premium tanks - TOG (HMS Caveat Emptor) in a sale and E25 after having seen the Ranzar TMNT video.

Or to take it off topic again, in true Goodies fashion, dive bombing geese

Not to mention giant Dougal from Magic Roundabout. . . .

You'll be looking for giant cats yet .....

So you have no problem with rockets being fired from not only civilian areas but inside UN compounds (even the UN admitted to it happening this time), inside schools (drone video shows this), inside hotel zones (Indian TV), and those rockets being fired daily at non military targets on a daily basis for over 6 months ? And you also have no problem with taking building materials and money from civilian programs to build tunnels in to Israel for the purpose of attack (over $20 million on these, the one shown on TV was estimated to have cost $3-4 alone). You have no problems keeping food away from kids to be able to present hungry crying children before the TV, or dragging children's bodies from hospitals and replacing HAMAS soldier bodies with those, killing them in the process so as to make propaganda shots for the west to show (also caught by Indian reporters) ......
 
I should point out that there is also a growing nasty racist presence in Israel and almost certainly there are soldiers who have been shooting innocents on purpose and using the troubles to get their kicks. Not sure quite when it started but it was certainly present during the second intifada as that turned many Israeli Arabs against the Jews they had previously supported and for the Palestinians they had traditionally hated.
 
Rant over.

There were two versions of the original Ares Tavor (as they now also seem to have a 'bargain one). The first, with the short barrel and fixed MARS sight was plagued with problems, but there are a few second hand ones out there that have been sorted out. The second version, with the top rail and longer barrel was a far better version, though the micro switch can be dodgy - had mine swapped to a stronger one but I still occasionally get it switching from single shot to full auto on me (default for the swicth is full ...). Gear box is meant to be strong and reliable, but the casing (also bespoke) is meant to be weak and easy to crack if you open it up without knowing what you're doing.
 
One of the key things that causes hate with the Ares Tavor is that you need to near fully take it apart to do anything and it's not straight forwards. I'm too chicken, but when I went to get my micro switch replaced and the gun checked over, I found a few of the local repairers would not touch it because of the hassle factor.

Do you do the same thing about *Islamic* made items/services..if not your a hypocrite

I don't want warning point's so i'm not going to post the reply i wrote out
 
i shall just say this..if i was to choose who i'd want fighting by my side against IS/taliban i'd pick an israeli soldier over a Hamas militant any day of the week

Airsoft Armouries £99.99. Was there last one - not sure how quickly ASG are pumping them out as AA are an official ASG importer and they had to wait about 4 weeks between the first and second order, so it's anyone's guess when they get more, or for me, more gas mags in (they have CO2)

New toy today, but spare mags still out of stock.
