And everyone wonders why their powders and ammo increase every bloody time they had to buy some.

Because they go up every time a dealer buys them !
If you paid the same rate of profit that say "blue & red express" shops make the Garand would be £2500.......
you buy milk at £1 they make about 45p.
you spend a £1 with a gun dealer he makes 12 to 15p. Go to Starcost coffee and give them 80p in a pound.

Surely the ping thing is only satisfying in the original semi-auto version?, not really sure it's worth all this fuss! :run:
