Blimey !
At that price I think I'd want it to be rideable but far be it from me to take the wind out of your ... inflatable dog.

You could meet loads of new people if you ever took some of your animals on a cruise ship.

Its indeed rideable. 20 gauge vinyl with overlapped seams, so its very strong.
You would need to slighly deflate the legs frist, But it was never designed for water. But theres no harm in trying.
(Just if you die, its not my falut)

lol, You'l never get me on a boat. Hate em.

Is it very heavy ? If you filled it with helium, would it float above the ground ?
I want to try and give one of my upstairs neighbours a surprise :whistle:

reminds me of this - In 1960, at the Haslemere home for the elderly in Great Yarmouth, a 81-year-old woman called Gladys Elton accidentally killed one resident by performing a striptease and making the resident die of shock. Another five were treated for shock. The following year, another resident, Harry Meadows, 87, as a prank, dressed up as the Grim Reaper, looking through the lounge window whilst holding a scythe, causing three more deaths. The home was soon shut down in 1962.

Aptly enough, as this was recently bumped;

New addition, as of yesterday morning.

Part exchanged the L96 for it, as I realised I didn't really love Airsoft sniping, and I wasn't using the L96.

Full metal, with Magnesium bolt as standard, unholy ROF chrono'd @ ~1400 rpm ( :o ), firing at ~350 fps.

chris, seriously, do you honestly think anyone gives a damn about your toy guns when faced with a room full of giant inflatable animals?

Just admit defeat, Volf has won this one with many man points to spare.

No hobby, no collection, no action man 'gun' rack of glorified water pistols can even come close to trumping an 8 foot tall blow up fox....

And then there's the dragon, and the yet to be seen 10 foot long dayglo pink killer whale....

Or if any more proof was needed, that photo... 'the roomful'.

Nobody cares that your new spud-gun came in a realistic faux-metal case, nobody cares that when you fire it at someone 20cm away they might say 'OW'.... Its just a toy....

Giant inflatables win/have won/will always win. so stfu, nobody gives a f***.

Or, in other words, as used earlier - Thats 150% motherf***er, and none of the %'s are yours. :thumbdown:

To try and give you an idea how large we're talking. Thats a 32" Telly.

As its only a prototype which was never made, hence the "stuck on" parts which stand out like a sore thumb.
Also, its very thin, so if anyone had any heiluem laying around, you could have your self one VERY large balloon :lol:
