Honestly, I usually find their car and check out their license plate before I do any dealing with ANYONE. Police reports, while not always effective, can still ruin someones day ;P

Did Vanguard offer you any sort of compensation for the theft?

We sure did. It was a huge disappointment that we had someone so unethical as a tech, and as soon as we found out what he was doing, he was fired and is no longer allowed inside our building.

We compensated Drmalan with several free passes among other things.

Yes VIP did right by me and again their current techs are great.
They spend lots of time helping kids out for free with quick fixes and are just great guys to talk with about any upgrade ideas you have.

I don't think Brian listens to imput. He's making money, I suppose, and that's all fine with him.
Whooda thought some thief would steal like that? Wonder how long it took before he got found out?
..Wonder where this Ian guy is now..

I would have to say my experience dealing with Brian at Vangaurd has been great. About a month ago we showed up to play a Friday night game and according to there chrono my sons gun was shooting too high, 250-350fps. Obviously there chrono was bad jumping around like that. Actual chrono of the gun 320fps. When I let Brian know what happened he gave us 2 free passes and the next time we went back they had fixed there old chrono and had a brand new one sitting next to it.

The thing is some people will never open their gun themselves, and will never know that their parts were swapped. Sneaky bastard.

Welcome to Ian's Domain!


Brian has done right by me. I bought a green aim Point from him and the connection broke. He has a 30 day warranty and switched it out right there. You cannot let a person destroy the image of the company. While that happens more than it should it's unfair to a company trying to provide services and experiences to their customers.   While yes I don't play at vanguard anymore because of the incessant kids not calling hits like they wear a rubber suit of invulnerability. I still purchase items from them because they are close. Including my air for my Pstar.

I've never been to Vanguard before, though they fired this guy i can't help but be a little nervous aout going. Did he really apply at APD?

The new techs there are great. The last time I was there my motor crapped out. At first they worked on it for a while, cleaned the contacts for free and gave me a battery to test my gun with in case the problem was my battery. After the next game when it stopped working again they replaced it for $5 with a rental motor. Really great guys.

I had a Systema Magnum stolen from me from an unscrupulous tech once. Shit sucks man, I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy.

You know who this is Malan. Thanks for the mess i have to repsond too, really appreciate it.

I really like what you did here. Thasnks for the email which iknopw you have mine, or a phone call you have that too. Oh and tahnks for not paying for the psg1 grip you pickup with your gun without paying for.

First off when your shrike left it had a e1 mosfet in the same gb with all the internals you brought. I think i might have had to replace a piston don't know can"t remember that exactly it had a pretty high rate of fire. I did do a sub par shim because i got tired of working on your gun and you thinking thaty you where special because you had money.
 
On the g and p it was all stock execpt for the piston which you shredded. i suggested that you ditch the high speed for that motor for the e1 high torque and you agreeded.

Best one yet The systema gb and motor. you never gave me a systema system to work on. So hypethtically speaking if i did steal it. I cahllenge you to find a person that says i sold them a systema motor or gb. you can check my house for one. I'm in cali now go ahead and head over there, if you call i will guvie you the adress and you can check high and low though everything, ican't hide anuthing becuase i just learned about this situation this hour. Really i will becuase i caught so much from the person who is handling the mess you made.

On your kids mp5 the only work i did on that was shimmming and replace the classic army hard to find hop you or your managed to break.

Thnaks for the pics as intial evidence. Really i know you have stupid money to spend at least you could have faked them.

I didn't read through all the comments but i know the guns i fudged and took parts from.

For all the poeple i can remeber i wronged they are a owner of a e1 blow back ak, javilin m4, tm g36 frankenstien, spr mod something aimtop brand.

These are the poeple who should have been posting not everyone else, esp. not you Malan. There is probably more can't remeber but the ones listed abopve are the standouts. I was an a-hole to most becuase i hated my job and took it out on you.

To malan, i am pming you this and emailing it to you with my contact info. Repsond if you want, you already ruined me with lies even more than i ruined myself by being a thunder c*** to people who didn't deserve it.

To everyone else who thinks they may have been wrong email. poopyface1016@gmail.com with the allegations and i will own up to them if i did them. If i have the a part that i even think may be yours, i will mail it to you. I don't have anything to lose because i already lost everyone's repsect and people who i care about. Not to mention the people cleaning up this mess because you likely don't trust me to look at a gun and i can't ever walk in to vanguard to try and do what is right.
 
To bryan,

You don't deserve what is happening because you never knew exactly ehat i was doing back there most of the time, therefor have to assume the worst and take everone who thinks something is wrong or the more prevelant in airsoft er who wants something for nothing.

For all the detracters who say i am just covering my ass, go have the admin pull up the last time my mac's ip tried to acsess AA. It will be one or two hours before this post. it was in rancho cucamunga, CA. I am fully adimate of having malan rummage through my storage of parts and ends to find his missing systema parts. and i will just have egg on my face when he posts it, but that isn't going to happan is it?

Admins go ahead and ban this IP and account but i ask to leave the post. This is my end of things and i ithink one post and only one is fair.
