    At2k tanks go for around $25 and At3k tanks around $30-$40 in Australia.

    I wouldn't say it's a complete rip off... you do receive the items within 2 business days.

    Thanks for the input guys.

    I guess its not the biggest rip off, but still, its more or less a better option to make a group order.

    I'm not sure if it would, since these products are already in Aus. Just google around for them, I did and that's what came up aye. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

    They will likely get confiscated in public if your causing a public nuisance/"danger". However it will be fine indoors.

    Yeah, they've popped up in some stores but somewhat randomly. Some Target stores have had some, some Toyworlds; really there's not much rhyme or reason to it.

    On the topic of these near 1:1 scale toy guns:

    I have certainly bought some of these items from Clayton Comics (posted) and Armoured Heaven (stalls at conventions).
    No issues there, but don't be an idiot and parade in public with it.

    With that being said, there's pretty much only two places that you could flaunt it out openly without any public scrutiny.
    1) At home.
    2) Within the grounds of a sanctioned closed-entry area (ie. within the grounds of a pop culture convention, etc.)

    Outdoors?
    Bloody forget about it, unless it's painted over with a clearly obvious non-threatening colour.

    People probably haven't tried for a reason; hoppers run off volumes of air to expel the darts, just like an rcsb. Since a barricade is all-electrical and runs on motorised fly-wheels and not on air, a hopper would be pretty much a waste on a barricade, haha.

    However, stick an airtank into a barricade shell, and you have a different story.

    A hopper would work on a Barracade it would just require a redesign.
    Is a gravity fed springless clip of any type not a hopper?

    Tank expansion is probably the best way to get better ranges from BBUMB, also depends on what barrel material and length you are using - Brass would probably have the best seal and least friction for dart to travel. Longer the barrel, further dart will travel (AKA male genital barrel)

    Yep, do a decent rigid tank expansion, and work on barrel length. PETG is generally considered the best material for air systems, especially when you normally only get brass in 30cm lengths, which would be too short for a tank expanded UMB.
    Failing that, get a Titan...

    If you cant get your hands on PETG, try 16mm electrical conduit, it's just as good, even better. You can find 16mm conduit at electrical stores.

    Secondly try not to shoot modified blasters at unsuspecting foes in the first place, they rage.

    Hey dude, judging from the pic you posted, it looks like you may have decreased the tank by effectively cutting out the small tube that existed in the middle. Try put something larger in capacity in between the pump and the firing mechanism (I used 30mm pvc pipe) and seal it with 3day epoxy.

    Use a pin punch and hammer but be ever so careful and don't use to much force.
    I don't think i should have to explain why now do i?

    If you don't have a pin punch use a small nail.

    Should be from the right side (if looking from the back of the blaster/boltsled).
    Not sure but from memory it is that side on most blasters, don't quote me on that though.

    It will only go out one way so just try that side first and if it doesn't move try the other.
    Also in most cases the hole is smaller on one side.

    If you are looking for a single pouch to fit a 18-round clip/mag, this is what you are looking for ...

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Airsoft-Molle-PRC-148-MBITR-Radio-Walkie-Talkie-Pouch-Black-/130679572046?pt=AU_Hunting&hash=item1e6d1c064e

    It's a open top radio pouch with para-cord/rope release clip (useless because its not long enough to fit over the mag, could be replaced by a longer cord).
    Only fits 1x 18 round clip/mag, Very snug fit and won't fall out.
    MOLLE by design so it won't really attach to a belt securely, so suited for a MOLLE vest or something with MOLLE hooks/loops.

    If you want more information or pictures just PM me.
