  you must have been reading my mind Jay-Z! but, do you think we’d have problems bring them into the country? I supose we’d have better luck getting these in then the Airsoft guns on dinball 😀

  ..hadn`t really thought of that!! i guess you`re not going to keep an RC tank under your shirt and pull it on the servo guys so hopefully they`d be let in!! we could set up targets and shoot stuff- i want one 👿

  Are they seperately available ?

  raidentech sell 125pc of bb’s for 80c us (yep, that’s 80 cents) + delivery, they also have 3 x 1/24 scale tanks that fire them aswell (the MIA2 Abrams tank is my fav:) Theres also a RC nerf missle launcher that shoots 4 nerf missles…(your cat would have fun with that 1 jamie) 🙂
  
  I think i would spend the extra $10 US for an extra controller and body tho, considering the bodies are now 10.50…..:)
  
  Yeah, i did notice that!, luckily i did my order b4 that and manage to get 5 shells…..:D

  Yah josh, a nice mini-tank would be cool 🙂 me want one. As Roe doner points out, it may be an issue with the government…..i remember when my bbgun was taken off me….lol….it even had bright orange bits but no, apparently they didn’t trust me to somehow either pawn it off to crims or become a holdup robber meself. All this when my friend, a caucasian dude, managed to take in 2 gas powered Luger replicas along with a friggin samurai sword BY HAND thru the damn airport. Of course the asian-looking dude is the one who smuggles and is a bigger threat…man oh man……
  j/k 🙂

  Hey i was thinking of getting one for my dad for his birthday and yes what a coincidence my parents have a cat also.:D:D
  but seriously who knows wether the marui (think thats how you spell it) ones are better or the hen long. As the hen long seem to have more detail but are they as optioned as the marui for Eg independent suspension. Let me know somebody which one the shiz nit. takata
  Is this correct about not being able to get the air soft guns into the country, does anyone know of anybody successfully getting one in
  because if you could that would be sweeeeeet.

  infa-red is invisible/ beyond a humans visual range dude… a laser sight might work a bit better me thinks!
  
  i’ve seen the foam missile firing Multiple Rocket Launch Systems at shops before. if you wanted one of the firing tanks im sure you could get it in no worries, but multiple items might attract unwanted attention…
