    Stand uncorrected.. The later variants from the btas stables came with an fx tube.

    yeah, the original version had a mini (~100cc ?) buddy bottle hidden inside. Loverly gun, but lowish shot count / not so good power curve and expensive. Wish I still had mine though

    latter BTAS ones were regged and hence reasonable shot count, but lots of £££
