That is the ugliest gun I've seen since Croc-o-famas.

Is rain okay to play in with an AEG?

A little rain isn't going to wreck your gun. Weather isn't great where I live (it rains pretty often) and my gun's fine.

Would buying ESS Profile Asian-Fits be perpetuating the stereotype?

These?

Olive Drap Almost as good as Coyote Tab

[QUOTE=TerrorShield;40521011]Would buying ESS Profile Asian-Fits be perpetuating the stereotype?[/QUOTE] How's that a stereotype? Asians tend to have different facial features than Caucasians. It's not a stereotype any more than the idea that people of African descent have dark skin, it's just a physiological trend based on heredity. If the 'Asian-fit' ones will work for you, then use them.

I need to buy some sort of asian fit goggles. its not that my face is wide, my head is just massive.

Opinions on JG G3?

Plastic but JG has solid internals.

As long as its reliable I couldn't care less about the body

Well that's the thing, it's reliable until you fall on it, trip, or smack it into a wall on accident. But if you don't have any hard knocks it'll do well. Although really it probably isn't that much less durable than a metal gun.

[URL="http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/AEG_AEP_G_P_G_P_XM177E1.htm"]http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/AEG_AEP_G_P_G_P_XM177E1.htm[/URL] So, I really want this, and could save up for it no problem. But, I'm incredibly skeptical of international shipping because I don't want to deal with any shit from customs. My questions are, Americans who have ordered from Red Wolf, what kind of shipping prices am I facing, and what kind of shipping time should I expect? And what are the chances of something happening to my precious cargo during shipping?

In Wisconsin/Minnesota we have a guy that will import guns for you at an extra like $20 and he can get anything in without customs issues. I mean price+shipping+$20. I know like UNCompany will cover trades with putty and such but I don't remember what RedWolf does.

$100-$120 shipping. Depends on where you live for delivery time. I live in New York and they shipped it on a plane right to Newark airport right in New York so it only took about 4 business days to get here. Customs was a breeze and I had my trades intact and the tip wasn't even permanently attached which is a requirement apparently. Overall very good 10/10 would order G&P again from Redwolf

So uh... a little bit of the loading nozzle on my TM DE broke off. It seems just to have been there as reinforcement and doesn't have anything to do with the actual function of the loading nozzle and there aren't any holes or cracks left by it breaking off. When I was firing my DE it stopped firing, I took out the mag and saw the little black shard fall out of the magwell, and after that it shot perfectly fine. Should I be worried?

[QUOTE=stabbytheghost;40530444]$100-$120 shipping.[/quote] yup they gave me a $115 estimate for a G&P M16A4/M203 not sure how I got $85 estimated shipping for a TM Scar-L

[QUOTE=dwt110;40530515]yup they gave me a $115 estimate for a G&P M16A4/M203 not sure how I got $85 estimated shipping for a TM Scar-L[/QUOTE] G&P Metal versus TM plastic can make for a large difference in weight. Considering my Glock 17 shipped from redwolf for like $30, that seems like it would do it. On topic: All of my experiences with Redwolf have been stellar, and I've never had any customs seizures, but a minority of people do experience them. Best way to get a shipping estimate is to just put the gun in your shopping cart and do a shipping estimate.
