Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

[Galvatron]

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/gas-powered_1/tokyo-marui-g18c-fully-upgraded_i63929

 

"Fully upgraded", apparently.

 

No mention of the recoil and hammer spring upgrades

No mention of the outer barrel being threaded for tracer units

No mention of the nozzle or trigger assemblies

Just one brand mentioned in the upgrades (Maple Leaf for the inner barrel, hop unit and presumably bucking)

 

"NO TIME WASTERS OR DREAMERS."

 

Righto. You want £450 but you have wasted time not itemising the upgrades to warrant that price?

Currently £120. "Never been used"

 

That doesn't make it worth more than its bloody retail value!

Sad to say some unlucky fool will buy it without doing their homework then realise they’ve been done big time after.
 

Seems to me that’s what all these chancers are hoping for, just one fool is all it takes.
 

I’ve always thought of Mack’s as a decent place to learn a lesson or two before buying, makes it indispensable not only for  great hilarity but knowledge also.

A few years ago a friend of a friend bought one of these, definitely bulldog brand m4 type, but unsure of model, even though I'd warned him to speak to me before buying anything, he didn't listen, spent about £150 on what was being marketed as a "ready to play starter gun", & then played a few games.

It went bang pretty soon after, I get asked would I look at it, but told him you'd be better returning it under warranty, can't remember the reason he then gave me but apparently returning it wasn't an option, so I agreed to have a look at it, repair if possible, failing that salvage whatever I could.

He drops it round in a bag, remember at this point I've not seen it, & knew nothing about it.

OMFG🤯

It was like a child's toy you'd buy for £15 at an obscure Sunday market, other than being m4 shaped it had nothing remotely like what we would call an m4, even the most basic rifle that the cheapest recognised manufacturers might sell looked like a systema in comparison. 

It didn't strip per se, just lots of screws up & down the body, & even though I was disgusted by it & was struggling to control the bile at the back of my throat, I went ahead & took it apart, in the forlorn hope I'd spot something simple that could be put right & not break this fellers heart, knowing what he'd paid.

An hour later I told him to come & get it, handed him his bag & said sorry, couldn't be fixed, when he asked was anything salvageable I pointed that all the little screws were in a sandwich bag, & he might find a use for them one day, but everything else, even the mag & battery, should be binned & if he ever bought again without talking to me first, he was to delete my number from his contacts.

Seriously, they are an abomination & should be banned from all insured sites & buyers neutered, it's the only way to reduce their numbers.

It's probably said here before but the "Bulldog" brand are exclusively SRC OEM distributed to justbbguns with internal grade parts worse to any major manufacturer standard over a decade ago 

 

I can only attribute the success of these two-tone sales to marketing, as there is absolutely 0 reason to buy those over Specna Arms/Delta Armory most basic entry lines which are arguably still cheaper.

You've missed that he appears to be trying to sell it 4 times as well.

Fair point. His account is less than a day old so I suspect he was a bit overzealous with the "Post" button.

 

At a closer look, the images are lifted off Used Airsoft, which led me to this:

Oh god. It's him. I'm surprised its even working.

If anyone needs an example why new players should consider rental, borrowing a friend's RIF or buying used gear, all to avoid buying a two-tone, this is it.

For just £15 more, you can get the RIF brand new, with retailer peace of mind and without the utter pig's ear of a green paint removal.

At least the deluded seller was honest enough to mention that it was a "former" two-tone, in case a buyer, say stevie wonder 😎 for example, didn't spot it ffs 🤣

[Cannonfodder]

So the stock and rails were green but it looks like the inside of the mag well is blue. Makes me think it's a parts bin build

[DaktariT]

Just leave this here

[Cannonfodder]

Paired with these

 

My favourite part of the description is this

 

"There is a hole at the bottom perfect for attaching paracord to hold the axes when not using them. The blade features many sharp points allow it to dig into the target"

 

I'm not sure I'd want something with so many sharp points and edges swinging around attached to me

At least it would stop anyone that dumb from polluting the gene pool
