Re: I fire blanks.com?

98/99db whilst not quiet isnt that loud, esp. for a gun. A regular petrol lawn mower is around 100Db. The only reasonable sounding gas gun I have heard was last week at Victory Show.

Try a drop of Eau de Cologne 4711.
Careful around the KM boys though, it has been known to affect them.

Re: Show us you!

How do you educate the public with your incorrect uniforms, spectacles and beard? What can you possibly teach them dressed like an action figure? I see you are NWW2a, that really is all that needs to be said. Fancy dress and fun time Jerry farbs. Have you seen their bright yellow 222? What RAL code ...
