Did it just come as the standard random Hong Kong post, and slip thorough easily or anything flagged for question etc?


Completely standard RM with no issues whatsoever. Maybe I got lucky

An update from me 

 

I let @rocketdogbertbe the first Guinea pig then ordered after his update 

 

It’s journey was:

Despatched 14/1/23

UK arrival / customs clearance 22/1/23

UK sorting centre 22/1/23

Local depot & delivery 23/1/23

 

I was out, but I received the delivery confirmation and promptly forgot about it until this afternoon 

Checked the status to see if it actually was confirmation or that it was on a van

Found the photo, so had a peek in my glass recycling box

Packaging remained fully sealed, indicating it just went through the motions at customs (perhaps with an X-ray)

Unless it was a bulk delivery through customs and repackaged by the UK arm, but the timeframe points to it being a single package

My box appears to differ from rockets

I have an iPhone style box

(so what - but it’s a nice storage box)

The phone pistol, shells with integral springs, projectiles, and a ‘reloading’ press

 

I used to collect ammunition components for someone I worked with, now I have my own reloading press

1)slot in empty shells

2) top that with the middle and slot in the projectiles

3) press on the third piece and have one failure

Pop out the gun

 

A top ‘rail’ slides back to open the chamber, the grip folds out

two empty chambers

insert two shells

note the slide on the side, this slips the shells back & forward slightly

Note the two recessed pins - they are the hammers for each chamber

 

Shoot one - pew

Shoot again - misfire

shoot shoot shoot

 

The hammers alternate 

 

Crawl on the carpet to find the second projectile 

 

 

 

Verdict - it’s not airsoft or paintball 

(strictly speaking with the far gone history of airsoft it’s similar to some of the predecessors I had back in the day)

 

Its a novelty piece of fun 

Don’t be a dickhead and shoot someone’s eye

(And for the record - mine was by courier)

Regarding the boxes Rocket……

Did you choose ‘box’ or ‘no box’

 

On the theory that perhaps ‘box’ means a phone style box and that you just got packaging boxes

I didn’t get an option on boxes
