It was an indoor range, I'm sure that amplifies the sound...

I opened up the sear box and noticed a lot of cracks developing around screws. The sear itself did not break, but the slot in which the sear pin sits in did. As wide as the sear box is on the outside, a lot of space is removed from the inside with only a few structural supports molded in.
Not looking too good so far...
Cheers.

2) Having a high power level means that various other bits will HAVE to be pre-upgraded to cope, so when you do drop in lower powered spring then you have little else to do.
OK - I'll accept points 1 and 3, but this is hope over experience - It costs NOTHING to slap a super strong spring in a cheap as chips springer box.
MAYBE they didn't do this, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it
Cheers.

Fair enough, it looks like an L96 (I did say that
), but what's the excitement of a gun's power if you can't use it?It's a bit like a 500 bhp Vauxhall Astra...Pointless!
And, from the reviews I've seen, the stock's no match for a VSR-10 (someone said the cheek pad looked like it would snap off if you nudged it when raised)...so £40 doesn't seem that much difference between this and a G-Spec and how much would a scope rail for a pro-sniper VSR cost anyway - £15?
Anyway, like I said I can (sort of) see the appeal of an affordable L96 (if it's any good), but everyone's raving about its power when you can't use it!

Paintballs are clearly the profit engine - It's a racket, but we knew that.
Not sure how people can justify regularly going, though...
Cheers.

You can read my experiences now (went yesterday) - Basically, OK, but not that great.
Cheers.

Tanaka's Hi Power is a current model - They come and go, but it's not that hard to find.
Cheers.

Work's keeping my bile levels nice and high at the moment

Unsurprisingly the WA was easiest to fix.
The allen bolt on the back of the top valve had come loose - Tightened it up and it was shooting like a good 'un again.
Now just to sort of the Tanaka and the MGC!
Cheers.

I've never airsofted, but I AM going paintballing next month, so I'll let you know how I find it.
Cheers.

Is that the September issue of AI, with the 1911 review in it?
Cheers.

Actually, I think I'll keep the Skorpion
Only kidding
Cheers.

I'm not entirely sure how 4 determines whether or not you've kissed a girl....
Cheers.

19? God, you're not married with kids yet?
On the shelf, I'm afraid
Pah!!! 19's so YOUNG, I wouldn't even want to be 19 again
Plenty of new experiences to look forward to... Some of them will even be enjoyable!
Still, 20's knocking on Death's door...

Presumably when you say "Start with your right hand", you really mean "Start with your dominant hand"?
Cheers.

That was exactly what the Ohio store said, they used to get loads of Japanese, shooting, and it had hurt their trade a lot...
Perhaps it's a very recent change?

Isn't Vermont New England?
But, I must admit that I spent most of my time skiing when I was there
Cheers.

Excellent review - Thanks.
What sort of price are we talking about and are their replicas?
Cheers.
The end is nigh...

There are a few in the pipeline still
Maybe I'll be able to find a method of working with skirmishers to review their guns, who knows?
Cheers
