I'm sure we'd all like some latest gen night vision and PEQ boxes

Glad they are getting done for it and perplexed that some Airsofters were defending them.

Cracking thread on Z1 about it*

*fun game, spot his loyal mate

Stealing from the MOD is ok to some people as long as you steal less than originally stated apparently.

Nothing to do with airsoft except the convicted person ran an airsoft site.

This has been going on since earlier in the year and Andy Stevens posted on FB to give his side of things when the trash tabloids started doing what they do best.

Hes a grown man, he broke the law and now he's going to serve time and have a criminal record for it.

I'd really love an SAS setup, but how does one do this without busting the bank? Lightbulb! Steal it.

Good riddance. Glad that all 3 got their just deserts!

I was amazed to see some of the comments on Z1 trying to defend them. Just because its airsoft doesn't make it ok.
