Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

for the sake of bringing things back on topic:

so leaving aside my deep professional concern as to the notion of putting carbon fibre under immense pressure then subjecting it to potential impact events.....

As a paintball tank, it'll be fine for general sports usage such as paintball or airsoft. They are immensely strong, and I've not heard of many catastrophically failing other than when some idiot put 3-in-1 oil in the fill nipple at a paintball tournament (never, ever oil an HPA regulator kids). The tank launched itself like a rocket across the safe zone.

How is he gonna send the tank would be my question. He'll need to remove the regulator first (which can be bitch to do without marring the anodising), even then RM/PF and other couriers hate the bottles as they are pressure vessels.

the problem i have is carbon is notoriously bad at dealing with impact damage, and the idea of something like that taking a bump against a tree or such is quite worrying.

they're likely hideously over-built but that still doesn't inspire confidence.

that and impact tag rounds are the 2 things in airsoft that genuinely scare me.

 
I’d be willing to bet quite a lot on that being a Chinese copy. The big clue for me is the airsoft (Tokyo Marui) Spec mounting plate.

"Please do not contact us to determine if a potential [used] purchase is authentic. We can only determine authenticity if we have the product in-hand at our factory. "

That seems like rather a silly attitude. I know they've probably spoken with some lawyer who's said what lawyers will always say: "Do nothing, say nothing, that'll be $5000."

But why not say "Send us a picture, and we'll answer with either 'That's definitely a fake' or 'We can't say for sure if that's a fake'.  We will never say 'That's genuine' from a picture."

Because it's in their interest to reduce used market sales, and protect buyers from being ripped off with fakes and then bitching about the brand.

Withdrawn bid, lucky escape.  I've reported it to eBay for all the good that will do.

Back in the day, eBay used to let you message other bidders directly. I'd take great pleasure in sending winning muppets links to new items that cost less than what they'd just bid on a used one.  Ah, good times,good times.  I can see why eBay stopped allowing that. ;)

Reported it too, but it's still up, I've a mind to message the seller to let him know he's been rumbled, he might have an attack of conscience & pull it, otherwise some poor mugs getting ripped off.

Edit: just posted in zin in case the potential buyers on there, & pmd the seller, I feckin hate to see some poor sap get turned over ?

I have messaged him (a few hours ago, actually) & no response thus far. Also reported the listing with Rocketdogbert, so hopefully ebay take notice. He is also selling what he describes as a "genuine Surefire" in another listing for £45, which I am doubting

That's strange, I politely messaged him at about 1030 asking if he's still taking offers on it (as per his description), but he replied almost immediately & said no, not since having a bid.

Shame, I was hoping he'd say yes so I could then offer the obligatory "50p & a packet of Haribo for your fake shit" ?, but alas he didn't go for it.

But if he replied to mine that quick, he must have read yours too.

I sent mine at about 7, so he has most definitely seen it then. Seems like he is trying to get something for nothing & trying to make it seem like it is real because he used it on a .22... Not the most honourable thing to do!

I messaged him asking if the surefire was a genuine  item.

He replied,'I believe that it is but have no paperwork with it'.
