Hey GhosTTwO, where have you been? Anyway, them Chinese AEGs are getting better and better these days. Found this page based in Hong Kong:

http://www.gunnerairsoft.com/newgun/chinese/index.htm

He seems to be one of the few people in Hong Kong selling Chinese-made AEGs as most shops in Hong Kong carry the expensive genuine ones from Japan.

THREAD OVER
That has to be the silliest question I've ever heard. (-_-")
In case you've been living in a batcave, refer to this thread for moar 1/6 scale goodness:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=228214

PS: I say this again Wifi_One: I'm jealous of your P90.

Sarcasm cracka, do you Google it? And the inclusion of '......zzzzzzzzzz' along with unnecessary use of multiple full stops in your post doesn't really sound like you care to make a properly written reply. Seriously, can you not recognize the obviously large gap of scale differences between 1/1 and 1/6? You're only making my sarcastic assumptions of 'batcave dweller' more and more closer to truthery.

PS: in before "Being too sarcastic doesn't help to make yourself more intelligent" copypasta reply from Lowyat's FAQ.

I've already answered his question. He asked what are the sizes of 1/6 scale guns, and give em' the appropriate answer: a direct link to the 12" action figure thread, since guns used on those kinds of figures are in 1/6. What have I done to cause so much trouble anyway? Geez, some people really need to have their funny bone adjusted.

Ah, of course, Thailand: where everything illegal elsewhere is always legal there. You can get springer airsoft there far cheaper than having lunch in KFC. Heck, make that twice cheaper if you could spot a bargain!

That AK of yours is of CYMA yes? Anyway, a contact from the Internet told me that it's also easy to get those things in Sarawak (that's where you're from, yes?), at a lesser price than those in the Peninsula.

I heard RC airsoft tanks are legal. Saw em' being sold in Lelong.com.my. Try searching there and you might also stumble across cheap airsoft BBs. they're 6mm low-quality Chinese BBs for them RC airsoft tanks, but will also work fine on anything made for airsoft.

-----------------------

Anyway, here's a picture TO END ALL questions of scale differences between 1/1 and 1/6:


It's self-explanatory of which one in this image is 1/1 and which one is 1/6:
- The huge, threatening-looking one is 1/1.
- The small, tiny-sized comrade is 1/6.
KAPISH?

Also, PLEASE, stop PM'ing about where to get em' (to those of you who did so).

I WON'T ANSWER SUCH QUESTIONS AND ALL SUCH PMs WILL RECEIVE INSTANT TOILET FLUSH.

If you're wondering where I got em':

THIS will be my answer.

These guys are irrefutable and reliable sellers.

I do have this 2nd-hand tactical overalls.

Try looking around in Lelong.com.my (search keyword: 'military') and you might find something of interest. BTW, the style of my gear is based on the Hong Kong SDU. Interestingly, SDU assault teams don't necessarily wear assault uniforms during an operation. They may simply leave their current outfit as it is and proceed with equipping themselves with vests, helmets, pouches, etc since they can be called into action anytime. Check out these images and see for yourself.





More images here.

My tip: go and explore the place you live in and ask people around there more. You'll never know who you might find.

Yep, worn first before putting on the vest. The one I have isn't an SDU tactical overall, but the same tactical overall used by our country's PASKAL commandos. The suit is fire retardant, meaning it won't catch fire easily.

It's no surprise now why action figure manufacturers like Dragon Models and Hot Toys had made plainclothes SDU in full assault gear. I too am puzzled at first why these SDU figures are not wearing tactical overalls and thought it might probably be a way to make em' sell by giving them a 'Hong Kong movie hero' look. That is of course until I did a Google Image Search on the SDU.

Those blue overalls worn by the SDU is different from mine. The SDU overalls is similar to those worn by the SAS: the overalls have pocket inserts on the elbows and knees for inserting padded foams, though I wonder why do they still have to wear optional pads despite having that convinience.

What are you dense? You retarded? Where do you think I come from? Look, I had enough of this injustice. And for the last time, that huge chunk of freezing ice just above the USA where marijuana is legal for medical reasons but lolis are banned becaused it's Hentae is Canada! Stop despising and making fun of my ancestry just because I'm CANADIAN! So what if I'm Canadian and you're a Lesothoian? It doesn't give you rights to make my ancestral bloodroot seem inferior. Just because black people are currently ruling the UN doesn't mean that everything you said is made of truthery. Shame on you for this offensive and downright racist post!

Whoah, you actually took reply to me seriously? That was only to test how far can you take my sarcasm, and you're really lacking at that. But seriously, do you really need to make a big fuss about where I live?

I got my own question: Why does my location matter?
It's already so obvious that I'm Malaysian. I mean, what would an Estonian forummer be doing surfing a discussion forum which uses too much unfamiliar gibberish? In other words, if I am of different nationality, I wouldn't be here and would be elsewhere.

Also, if you feel troublesome with the 'validity' of my current location, what about that of other forummers here in Lowyat? There are lots of people who wrote questionable places in their 'Location' profile. What about them? Shouldn't you bug those who put things like "Right Behind Her" or "Ask Your Mom" in their 'Location' because they're not being honest, when it's already a trivial fact that they're Malaysians?

Unless there's somekinda rule in this forum in which anyone who joined this forum must properly give their correct location, arguing about it is a moot question.

FACT: it's impossible for North Koreans to access the outside world, since they're running on an Intranet (Wiki that). After all, it's already so obvious that I'm Malaysian. Why make such a big fuss over the fictitious nature of my current location?

Anyway, if you're ordering gears from outside (online shop) and wondering about the payment methods available to you, always check the shop's FAQ, but it's always best to e-mail the shop owner directly for further questions. Who knows, the shop owner might give you his best suggestion, or better yet, he might even reveal that he has a bank account in Malaysia (esp. those from Hong Kong or Singapore) to make your payment easier.

I already found a shop selling boots in my place. It's a store which specializes in camping gears, but they also sell authentic gears used by military (nothing illegal of course). For about RM239.90, I can get myself a pair of authentic Nomex SWAT boots. However, as I have told you, I'm temporarily off from this hobby and had gone back to 1/6 action figures. If buying a whole 1/6 figure can cost you RM200-RM400, buying a whole 1/1 gear can cost you RM1000-RM1500 depending on what you wanna buy!

No hard feelings here.

IINM, some forummer had also told me about this ex-army dude from the Peninsula who opened a shop selling military stuff that are legal to be sold. I heard you can get tactical overalls (fire retardant ones) and authentic Steyr AUG bayonets from him.

No need to use PM. There's nothing illegal about bringing in non-airsoft items. Read this reply from a friend of mine:


Hope that helps.

Well, if you're gonna appear in public, noisemakers (yeah, those things that makes RATATAT sound) or rubber dart guns would do just fine. Seriously, it's better to get those than getting into trouble if you just wanna do a costume party/cosplay. If you don't like the colors of the noisemaker/dartgun/whichever, use gap sealer to cover the screw hole and spraypaint it. Paint the tip orange if you want for extra safety while in public.

All sites that sells airsoft in Hong Kong offers the service of dismantling airsoft, and it's no secret (just check out their FAQ section). However, please note that success rate isn't very high and our Customs are not to be underestimated. Crossing the borders to Thailand is still the preferred method for many.

Hey, don't ask sensitive questions. The Mods can b& you for that. Just pretend nothing's happening and PM him.

And as for those of you who still PM me with the subject of where I got em':

RM25 from an outdoor recreational store, multipurpose with good grip. Authentic Nomex gloves and fingerless SWAT gloves may cost you RM60+ and above.

Real guns kill people. They're not something to play or joke around with. Holding an actual live firearm requires a mature and high degree of responsibility as well as acknowledgements of legal repercussions should it be used upon an individual or discharged in a public area, and I'm not talking about ammoless guns that one may hold within a limited perimeter and time in some military exhibition, but real guns that one may attempt to possess whether by legal or illegal means.

The heavier the BB, the lower the firing velocity. Yes, you can destroy an airsoft's internal mechanism that way because an airsoft isn't made to fire metal pellets. If you wanna fire metal pellets, you need some really strong propellant, in this case, something that went beyond spring-cocking and electric motors: gas. But if that's the case, then it's better for you to get a real gun instead.

Gas-powered airsoft are also available but only in the form of pistol, since these kinds of airsoft shoots at 300FPS even on a short barrel, and many airsoft playing fields usually kept their maximum airsoft FPS velocity at 350-400FPS.

Not really sure about here, but all airsoft owners I've met so far online are very mature and responsible and showed great care and respect for both their preciously realistic toy guns and the law. But really, as long as airsoft owners in Malaysia kept doing things that may give a 'criminal' image towards airsoft (like the metal BB trick you mentioned), there will never be a chance for airsoft to get itself legalized in this country.

Anyway, if you want to obtain airsoft or other weapon replicas through legal means, you can always try getting yourself a permit/license for importing and possessing weapon replicas. Consult with your nearby police station about this.

Duh, of course they're legal.

See the scale difference between 1/1 and 1/6?
I'm not sure if you're gonna have fun spending all your time ogling at it on the walls using a binocular because they're quite small. 1/6 guns are one of the core components of 1/6 action figure, but they can be collected as standalone if you don't fancy collecting 1/6 action figures. As for shops, they're found everywhere; e.g: XL-Shop, The Falcon's Hangar, Action Figure 2002, etc. Google is everyone's girlfriend so treat her well!

Also, all 1/6 discussions should go to this thread:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/228214/+240

If you're planning to have yourself a miniature gun rack, I suggest replicating what Rusty Nail did in the thread above.

1. Desert Eagle (say it full and not in CS lingo!) - action figures from BBI Cy Girls series has em'. Otherwise, available separately in abundance on 1/6 shops online everywhere.

2. H&K Mk. 23 SOCOM - Dragon Models should have one. Available either in boxed figures of Dragon's old SEAL series or sold separately in many 1/6 shops online but tend to sold out very quickly.

3. Colt M4A1 Carbine - You gotta be kidding me: the most overproduced and overrated 1/6 guns of them all. All 1/6 manufacturers have em'.

4. AK-47 - Amazingly, AKs don't appear as frequent as the M4A1 in 1/6 form but nonetheless available in modest numbers. Mikhail Kalashnikov would've weeped.

5. FN FNC - Nonexistant. Has never been made.

6. SVD Dragunov - Moderately available. The latest one is from a 1/6 manufacturer named Red Horse. XL-Shop should still have em'.

For all your easy firearm reference needs, there's Modern Firearms & Ammunition.

Let us continue this discussion in the 1/6 thread shall we?
