    The delivery did leave something to be desired, but at least it all arrived
    for Christmas

    Yeah, that's great fun, shooting defenceless pets.... perhaps the
    neighbours will return the favour if they find out.

    Well, I could dialed the snark down to zero, but then I would
    be in violation of ukrm charter, clause 13 point 1 subpoints a and b.
    There are plenty of .hk sellers who have free shipping, dealextreme,
    kaidomain, ebay guys. Rather suspicious. And nothing got stolen by the
    Polish Post yet, which is a minor miracle in itself.

    I bought a "helmet" cam for something like 20 bucks off ebay, from HK,
    with free shipment, for example.

    The Walkera 4g6 is the one to *really* go for if you want a heli that flies
    like a "proper" heli. Fully 3D capable and bloody smooth to fly too. That
    one's about 200 quid-ish plus any additional batteries/charger you may want.

    The MSR was only 130 quid with eveything, including 3 extra batteries and a
    charger that can charge 4 batteries at once.
    Got the nuts, I'm keeping the dog numbers as they are.

    I had a 300lb prod on a normal style crossbow a few years ago. I managed to
    shoot a bolt through the brick wall at the back of my garden and it then
    went on to fly across my neighbours lawn and embed itself in his plastic
    framed french doors.

    I got it back (quietly) and flogged the crossbow to a pal the day after.

    Fucking lethal bastard it was and it needed a crowsfoot/goatsfoot/whatever
    the **** they're called lever to cock it. No way was anyone doing it with
    their fingers.

    Are they illegal now, coz I bought mine from a sports shop quite easily?

    Yeah. I'm only just moving to non-contra jobs. I think the 4g6 might be
    a bit too much for me just yet. Plus it's a bit bigger than I think
    would happily fly in my lounge.
    Definitely a good deal.
    Probably for the best.

    You can get up to 150lb quite easily. I think an Ebay search will find a
    few. I'm pretty sure you can still get more powerful than that but I've not
    tried looking recently <wanders off to look> I can find 175lb but not much
    higher

  12. I couldn't find any. Quarrles and bolts, yes, and toy Xbows, but no real
    ones.

    I was told when I got mine that nothing above 200lb was legal, but I wan't
    sure I believed them, but even if they're legal, they're bloody stupid.

    The one on YouTube was epically unimpressive.
