Or retailers within the UK selling hot guns, as players we technically run the risk of getting nicked, but a retailer can get away with it. It's a British thing, we know we'll always get screwed, & yet we still assume the position lol . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Just got a Timed Dynatex and although I haven't used it in a game yet, I love it already. Mine has stable 4sec delay which is perfect for sliding/rolling to the back of a room or cooking to drop though a window. It is quite amazing how much pressure is needed to reset the firing pin. I'm not surprised the impact nades sometimes have problems detonating because they rely on inertia not spring power. The 209's are plenty loud enough and work out to 9.3 pence per throw. I would have liked the shrapnel pattern of the SWAT VTG but thats only cosmetic. (I was going to buy a VTG but luckily the payment failed and got no reply when I emailed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Do you know anywhere I can get another top for it as a spare? I know the VTG and BFG are compatible but I've had a look but can't find anything. I'll explain why I don't like the design of the vent out the top because when I tested in the garden it did blacken the grass with the blast and this might cause injury to someone if it lands facing someone prone. SO... I want to drill some lateral holes through the side like the SWAT VTG design. But... I'd like to know that I can get a spare if something goes wrong. (Have you tried putting a BB in the vent hole? That would be scary 😏) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeman Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 They’re are a few who sell them but I’ve just looked and none have them in stock just google dynatex adapters 25 minutes ago, EDcase said: (Have you tried putting a BB in the vent hole?

EDcase Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Yeah I tried that but that just shows the insert adapters not the cap. I guess I can ask a local machine shop to make one once this covid thing is over. Of course I don't mean to try a BB in there during a game 😲 I'm not going to try it anyway but I thought that was a bad design decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeman Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 https://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=3328 it says adapter because it holds the blank but it’s the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Ah yeah but all the others show the inserts. I'll keep looking. After all not as if its urgent... 🙄 EDIT: You can't stop a man with a drill in lock down... 4 holes around the circumference and actually managed a decent job of symmetry. Will test tomorrow but can't see it adversely affecting performance... of being loud. Painted the lower portion silver. Won't last but easy to touch up 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enid_Puceflange Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Interested to see if anything will vent from your freshly drilled holes I would honestly expect the glasses to still expel from the most direct route, out the end hole , but try it tomorrow, if anything vents from the fresh apertures, I would suspect a burnt residue inside? 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
