Europe, America, Taiwan and Thailand I think you can bring your personal rifles. But here in the Philippines it will be impossible and be hold in the customs. The only thing you can bring your rifle is by shipping it to Hong Kong. There a guy in Hong Kong who use to be an airsoft shipping guy from Hong Kong to Philippines about a month. That's why Christoph didn't have the chance to bring his vsr10 and pistol. However gears such as bdu, loadout gears and etc.

@Akastaten 3 жыл бұрын

The biggest problems with the As01 (and as02) are the crappy cylinders that fall apart after a couple of games. The kneecapper sorted this by making a one piece cylinder so hopefully they added this to the T1! The second problem is the air volume ratio. It’s a very long barrel and a very small cylinder. How you can fix that is using a 300mm Crazyjet Barrel (or some tightbore of your choosing) and then internally suppressing the rest of the barrel (or get a short outer to match)
