You can send me half price motorbikes

That’s entirely wrong, can you give me an example of an electric blowback airsoft pistol that can fire manually via pulling the slide and still have it’s slide cycled by a set of gears and motor before the 3DG Glocks?
Not all gel blasters were from airsoft, MOST of the SYSTEMS were from airsoft. I know a spoonful of original gearbox mechanisms that come from the R&D of gel companies in China.
If you’re talking about converting gel blasters to airsoft, not all of them can be converted.
Although you are partially right that you can get a gel grenade launcher in QLD but not airsoft.
So join a New Zealand airsoft forum. ![]()
There was a time not so long ago on this forum when even just using the word "airsoft* was a no-no. ![]()
There are other threads on here, that are dedicated to “other things”, outside of gel…
R/C stuff, what did you get up to today etc….
At least this is kinda relevant…even if we can’t import them …
Doesn’t hurt to look, and dream….
I like seeing what new stuff is around… I don’t really peruse other reddits / forums that much.
I don’t see much of a difference between the two Hobbies… apart from the fact that Gelbasters brought the Hobby to the masses at an affordable price!
Well, it started out that way back in the day, even when we were all getting those brand new CYMA M4’s for $80 on Sales.![]()
The Gelbaster Industry did end up crawling up to Airsoft style prices for particular models, but there’s still plenty of affordable options out there for allowing people to join the Hobby with a bit of pocket money.![]()
The spring mag, seems to work well, and feed properly…
And the flame units not bad either…
I only have one flame unit…it it wa the multi colour jobby, with the tec-9.
Some of the ROF in China builds is so mental! Just insane! Love it ![]()
I’ve been keeping an eye on some of the parts used, it is wild. Very interesting stuff!
I admitted I was wrong the King Arms M79 Grenade Launcher (real wood and metal) was here but sold out long time ago by Taidi Toys
It is a dream right.
40mm grenade not Nerf
And it is airsoft
My cheapy I got from aliexpress is actually pretty decent…
For. a cheap, plastic copy.
It actually holds 40mm grenades.!
You would have to strengthen / modify the firing pin….but it could be made to work.
Faux plastic, is pretty good good, for simulated wood.
I think the launcher cost about $80, from memory…
Mind you, I did have to cut the barrel down a bit…
you are lucky , I got this M79 from WAT it is all plastic and much more expensive but no work is needed to make it work.
I also got a new grenade launcher. It is attached to a gel blaster pistol. It will be devastating if I use it in a CQB
I was spewing I didn’t pick one up, seems you can’t find them on ali anymore…
Shouldn’t be restricted I’d say it just sold out…
Spewing
Just goes to show, if you want something and can swing it, grab it while you can because you never know when they’ll become unavailable
Edit: Still available below
Yep…
I had a look…all gone.
You’d be able to get that in…dart blaster and all.
Cheap at the price, which is why I jumped on it.
It does feel light…but looks the goods.
Kinda like 3d prints…!!

Yep…that’s the one.!
You could certainly try getting one in…
All plastic, not gel, toy dart launcher.
A bit of fettling and painting, but not too much…
I’ve got a b709a submitted for something else, going to see how that goes first, fingers crossed ![]()
Might see how I go with the m79 at a later stage, would love to see if the firing mechanism can be upgraded to activate the 40mm gel grenades first tho ![]()
![]()
I’m pretty sure on ali they got down to around $50 at one point on sale, had it sitting in my cart, slept on it, unfortunately missed out…
Spewing
I would think you wouldn’t even need a b709 for these…
It’s not gel, just a kids toy.
Final discretion at ABF and all…but they can’t say “ No it’s gel…gotta have an armorers report etc.”
It’s just a dart gun…
