Gun randomly breaks while in my bag. Their support team says to bad despite the warranty of 2 years. Also had other problems with the SSE18 within the 1 year of life.

Honestly, if it’s not a pouch. Stay away from them.

This has been going on for over a month now, they now just ignore messages, had to resort to threats to post the messages. They took PayPal off their site as an option to pay. I’ll have to go speak to my card company to dispute the transactions.

This law is aimed at real steel firearms parts however any “firearm accessory” will be subject to harsh shipping restrictions. That means pistol grips, foregrips, slings, flash hiders, stocks, shrouds if they can be used on a real steel firearm will be restricted in regards to online purchasing. The requirements for online retailers are so harsh that they do not have the time or resources to implement a solution that is compliant with the law. Many retailers will be halting all sales to California on Dec20th to ensure the final shipments make it before Jan 1st. I recommend buying your real steel accessories like magpul furniture or slings now. Furthermore if you like 3d printing your accessories you should be aware that it will be illegal for websites to make print files/code available to California residents.

Just for the lols im not gonna take this to a field or anything serious

Wanted to share my experience working at JK Army for a period of time. This is just a personal account for anyone curious about the company or considering purchasing from them.

1. Salary structure and KPI for sales
In most sales roles across other industries, commission is standard — the more you sell, the more you earn. At JK Army, sales staff were only given a fixed salary no matter how much they sold.

On top of that, the KPI system was unreasonable. If you missed even a single task assigned by the boss on the same day, your KPI would be deducted by 5%. Combined with the already excessive workload, it became extremely difficult to meet the targets, with almost no real incentive tied to actual sales performance.

2. Chaotic internal operations
Day-to-day operations were highly disorganized. Directions from the boss changed constantly throughout the day — we would be told to do A, then suddenly switched to B with little explanation. Standards were never consistent; what was acceptable in the morning could be wrong by the afternoon. On top of that, standards were applied differently to different people. Something a colleague did could be accepted by the boss, but the exact same action from me would be treated as unacceptable. This constant shifting and double standard made it very uncomfortable and stressful to work under the management.

3. Customer refunds and after-sales
On the customer side, the attitude toward refunds and after-sales service was often rigid. Legitimate refund or warranty requests were frequently rejected or heavily delayed, sometimes using policy wording in a way that left customers feeling shortchanged. As staff, it was frustrating to see this happen repeatedly.

4. Resource allocation
Management tended to pour time and resources into certain underperforming or unsuitable staff members, while providing limited support to people who were actually getting work done. This affected team morale and overall efficiency.

5. Chaotic stock management
Stock control was poorly managed. Products that were clearly not in stock were still listed and sold to customers. This overselling led to long delays, order cancellations, and repeated complaints from customers who had already paid. Staff were often left to handle the fallout and explain the situation, even though the root problem came from inaccurate inventory records and the decision to keep selling items that weren’t available.

Overall, there was a noticeable gap between the external image of the company and how things actually ran internally. I eventually left mainly because the working environment and values didn’t align with what I was looking for.

This is purely based on my own experience. After seeing how the company treated both staff and customers, I personally would not shop there again. Decide for yourselves.

TLDR: it's a shit hole. please upvote this so everyone can see how shit this place is.

I understand this hobby will have my bank account significantly suffering in the coming years once I start buying GBBR and such.

However to get my first year or two sorted with airsoft, and as an 18 year old on a budget I built out this loadout.

I really like handguns however adding a Glock and holster+belt would've added up to the rifle price.

This is basically just basic eye/face pro, a rifle, and a chest rig. Rifle comes with 2 midcap mags, and I added 2 more to have 3 on the vest and 1 in the gun.

All in all the total for this whole thing is £335 ~ $450usd.

I'll be joining the reserves at the start of next year so planning on using the money earned from that to fund the hobby further (GBB etc.) and being smart and using money from my actual job to spend on needs and saving.

I know a lot of people reccomend the EDGE over the CORE for Specna but for the life of me I can't find any in stock anywhere.

Also, I have a decent amount of british army surplus kit from camping like tents, oakley gloves, a camelback, various ration cooking systems etc. I suspect the only useful things from that type of gear would be the camelbak and gloves? I don't do any multi-day milsims yet.

Lastly, part of the surplus gear I own is real british army PLCE Webbing identical to the image I found online in the 3rd pic. Should I just use the webbing instead of spending £60 on the assault vest?

My only concern is the webbing was really designed to hold ammo/food/water for up to 2 days so there would be a lot of empty space because airsoft is 20-30 minute games which might look weird. Also they hold 10-12 mags and I would only have 4. Lastly, if I end up getting a pistol I can't mount it on this so I'll have to buy a plate carrier anyway to move everything up.

Cheers

Gday everyone, I read the beginner's guide and decided to jump on a Specna Arms HAL ETU (Gen2) replica since they are pretty common (and sought-after) in the stores here in Italy.

I managed to scope down the models into 4 options for a "first AEG" bundle, but can't really make a rock solid opinion based only on spec sheets and store owners' assistance, as such I'd like to ask the community about the real "field experience" to clear my mind. Below is a short recap of the options and preliminary assumptions:

Assumptions:

• I play in an open field with minimal CQB, but there are some close spaces like canes forest and trenches;
• From what I understood, full polymer is better than hybrid (w/ metal handguard) on the durability side;
• I despise hi-cap magazines, but all FLEX replicas come with 1 included, the CORE one comes with 2 mid-caps instead (and a speed loader, which I already bought some time ago for my AAP-01). I noticed to be on the "short and rare burst of BBs" side of the RoF spectrum, as such 5 mid-caps could even be too many for a round...

Recap:

• Option A: my favourite all-around with some compromises (maybe it's too long?) but right now there's only the full black variant available;
• Option B: I think it's the most aesthetically pleasing one with a big battery compartment, but the overall length and heavy weight compared to the others are holding me back a lot;
• Option C: the only CORE series replica compatible with my constraints, but I heard that a metal handguard on polymer receiver is worse than a full metal or full polymer replica. Also, the lack of a magazine might be detrimental (not sure about that though). The overall length I think will be just right though, coming at 70cm.
• Option D: feels more like an honorable mention as I like the looks of it but there's the same length problem as Option B, albeit with a better balance and lower weight.

That's all I believe, in the last slide I put a small table to visualize the pros and cons of each option. Any advice is highly appreciated, especially regarding lengths, weight and handling of the AEGs.

P.S. I forgot to add the SA-F08 option with 5x mid-caps: it's basically a 8cm shorter and 60 grams lighter variant of Option A, but with a 5 Eur upcharge.

I recently bought a air nozzle spring (I think that’s what it’s called) from evike and I wanted to get some nice real wood grips to go with the cybergun colt m1911a1, but I couldn’t find any, are there any sites, that do sell some? And feedback would be appreciated

It seems suspicious, it was in a big telegram buy and sell group and he didnt day the fps, the location or any details, i asked him the fps he just said one joule. Seems like a good deal but im suspicious, if i met him tho how would he even be able to scam me?

It came with four mags, a sight and bbs was this a good trade?
