good lads on here mate, harmony in the cottage so to speak. Good choice of gun , reliable /accurate, sounds like you got a deal with it, I have the s10 + rapid 7/12 , personally I don't think theres a lot between them but theres some who swear by one or the other. Welcome once again :thumbup:

hi, john, thanks for the feedback m8,
to be honest I think its a little front heavy for my liking, the only reason I had it was price, but now I have a feel for air guns I will find a better one and go for a very good setup with the night vision so I can post videos on the net as a new hobby, this setup will go to my oldest son (26) ,we also have a cometa 300 and air magnum 850 again only because we got them for pennies,
I just need to find the one I want quickly,, as last time I looked for a gun was for paintball, bought 46 before I got the wright one !!!!!! so now have 47 lol. most have sights/red dots and all the extras you can think of lol. :lol:

Missus went apeshit , said it was like a scene from close encounters, lol. Had to slow down , was costing a fortune till I discovered this site, now it just cost a small fortune :shh: .

If you like messing about with your gear you've come to the right place. Nothing stays in one piece for very long with this group. :)

BTW Every one of those airsoft toys is a prohibited weapon where I am - but I can and do own handguns. The law is an ass wherever you are.

that is a bit daft

over here a gunshop can't sell air rifles by mail order.....a private individual can, but not a shop

we also have a banned type of air gun (air cartridge) that is legal to own as long as you owned it before the ban....but you can never sell it. when you die i s'pose your next of kin supposed to ring an armed response unit to cordon off all roads in a square mile of your house and send a team in to collect it lol

fair old collection you got there steve.....is there that much variety in paintball guns?

100% true, the law stops me buying a full power air gun but I can have a paintball marker that will fire glass or nylon .68 balls ,im sure they could do some real harm, I can also buy a crossbow pistol for as little as £6 than would kill a person ,no question,

:thumbup: things have moved on a lot m8, I have a barrett .50cal (a5 mod) and I think it looks awesome, the army now use them instead of the old laser setup because you get a more realistic feel, swot / police also use them to train, the days of just the old hopper fed pistol are long gone, I also like my a5 mag fed gun very small and fun to use, the good thing about paintball guns is I can shoot my kids !!!!! and not go to jail, :lol:
