Ripcurl682 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Will you guys stop being so harsh on the kid. It's making you look worse than him. Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Alright guys, knock it off. You've had your fun. If you can't be helpful, sod off. The OP has clarified that he wants to make the gun look good with external upgrades. While some of you might consider this impossible, it's pretty certain that it can be made to look better.

iamthebestairsofter Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 cheers pablo so what would you guys reccomend? things like paintjobs and stuff and styles Link to post Share on other sites
samuel Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Ok, If you want to go for a low cost paint job try your local model shop and pick up some matt camo shades of the humbrol spray apint and give it a blast with them. If you are looking for something hard wearing go with Krylon instead but if you want a wall hanger the model paints will be fine, they are also half the price. Does your gun have rails on it?

Pablo Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 not sure mate aint arrivd yet and ive already got a few things to put on it like a laser that is 4 times the legal uk limit it is just a line of green light in the middle of the night <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You really didn't just say that did you? You're posting on an open forum that you own something illegal? Link to post Share on other sites
iamthebestairsofter Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 i own it but it is at my cousins in the usa and im going over there easter time and bringing it back Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have to advise you not to. That would be breaking the law. Please don't post on an open forum that you intend to break the law. Link to post Share on other sites
iamthebestairsofter Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 i thought the limit meant in a public place but i thpought it would be ok in personal space Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Okay, let's be clear here: When you say it's over the legal limit, what power are we talking? Link to post Share on other sites
iamthebestairsofter Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 well when you shine it it shines in 1 straight beam of light although personally i dont know the power. it cost me £180 Link to post Share on other sites
Catman Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 So how do you know it's "4 times the UK legal limit?" Well whatever when you get it, turn it on and aim it at your balls As for your gun's paintjob; get this krylon (clicky here) yummy. Don't try to eat it or something and make sue the little hole thing isn't facing you when you press on the nozzle. Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 From what I can see so far online (and anyone wiser can correct em on this): "In UK Fully Assembled Laser Pointers Must conform to Class II < 1mW unless exempt for special professional uses such as Theatre , Film / TV , Lighting Effects , Astronomy , Nightclubs , Research institutions , Please Do Not Order a Laser Illegal for General use in your country Unless you have exemption under professional uses" Taken from here: http://www.blueskymarketing.co.uk/mega_green/futurepower.htm So according to that, anything over 1mW would be illegal for private use. Class IIIA lasers (which are legal in the States) are illegal in Europe due to their different classification of irradiance limits (they are effectively classed as IIIB). I'd check if I were you whether it's a class II (no problems) or a class IIIA or B (potentially an issue). If it's over class IIIB, don't even think about it. Link to post Share on other sites
samuel Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Jesus you really are stupid! Id love to see you at customs if you happen to be the unlucky one who gets searched when you try and bring that in. Its people like you that are putting the whole sport in danger. Please PM Arnie and get your username changed to something more appropriate. Then please, for the love of god, consider what you are posting in a public, open forum. Im sure that many many users of this forum are serving police officer and you have just clearly stated your intent to comit a crime. Do you want to be bubbas *badgeress*?

iamthebestairsofter Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 just emailed my cousin and he replyed and said on the box it says '4.1mW' Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 lol u fail at life. if i read correctly, what pablo posted says the laser has to be under 1Mw unless you use it for professional things. at least you were right, it IS HIGHLY ILLEGAL. leave it in america you wanted to decorate your ###### 30 quid springer with a laser that cost 180 quid ? are you even human ? do you have a hollow head ? point is, that laser will get you in prison and speaking in a high pitched voice, and make your wallet a lot lighter, so dont bother. back to the original point : buy a cheap laser, a cheap torch and spray it whatever colour you want. why should we waste our time telling you how to paint your own gun? look at some pictures and decide. jesus, theres a thread called "pics of your painted guns' in the forum. might, just might be worth checking out. Edit: Personal insults removed. Don't do it again. GR. Link to post Share on other sites
TheBauer Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Well if what pablo is saying then i expect alot of the lasers we use at airsoft are over the limit no? You can pick 15mw green lasers off ebay, in fact i think all the green lasers you get are min 5mw, i know the 2 i had were 30mw. almost a clear beam even in day light. now whilst i dont condone breaking the law, i didnt know it was over the limit, if what pablo has stated is true, but then id check the paper work for all your lasers because unless its a market stall one i would expect even the red lasers to be bout 2-3mw.

msx361 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Nope, my green laser from King Arms is Class IIA rating. I have to agree with what other people are saying though. It's a £30 springer, trying to make it look nice would be like sprinkling glitter on sh!t, at the end of the day it's still sh!t, only now it sparkles. Link to post Share on other sites
TheBauer Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Nope, my green laser from King Arms is Class IIA rating. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> but its still over 1mw edit: Popular style green laser from HK http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JG-10-Green-Dot-Lase...1QQcmdZViewItem Class IIIA max mw <30mw these are the comman types of green lasers that get imported into the uk.

msx361 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Sry i miss read your post. I nearly got one of them ebay lasers but they sounded really powerful... Quick bit of research later and i found that they are illegal here. Link to post Share on other sites
TheBauer Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 i guess alot of people wont bother to do research though, they just see the price tag and look at the high number and think oooo that much be good, i know that what i did, and oo it was good i was under the impression that lasers were illegal in the country full stop when i was a kid, then one of my mates brought back on from spain, from then on they started appearing on the markets and were a comman thing for a while, now they kinda dulled out again, Link to post Share on other sites
SPG Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Well I get the point about visual upgrades on cheap springers if they're for show not go, I did it myself with a cheapo FAMAs because I wanted to try out a look before attacking my AEG with a dremel. BUT I don't get the point about being an idiot, so be sensible, type g-36 in Google pictures and see what comes up, I'm sure you'll find inspiration. If you want tips on HOW to do specific things then search in here and if necessary ask. Link to post Share on other sites
samuel Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 iamthebestairsofter: I feel that I owe you an apology. I was perhaps a little hard on you earlier in this thread. I guess I must have been in one of my arsey moody that day. Apologies to you Did you decide to paint it in the end or are you going with the accessories option? Sam Link to post Share on other sites
