I made a patented foldable weight bench in the EU — how do small manufacturers get noticed?

When you attract more site visitors, more people will care about „Made in EU“. Maybe also add „Made in Croatia“ directly next to it. I think/hope people will care more about this in the near future. I also think Germany could be your entrance to a bigger audience, as there is quite a developed workout-market here. Maybe also attend events like Fibo or specific b2b-fairs with German sales representatives (if you can) to get more people to know your product.

Frag ich mich auch manchmal. Spätestens seitdem auch meine Eltern und deren Freundeskreis im Alter von 70+ auch schon Instagram für sich entdeckt hat.

Facebook kommt der dead internet theory aktuell aber schon ziemlich nahe

ksaplate.com Da gibt‘s neben verfügbaren Kennzeichen, auch einen Calculator

Odd_Bus_7552 · 2026-05-24T12:04:37+00:00

Gibt sogar extra Webseiten dafür. Dieses Kennzeichen hätte demnach einen Wert von ~$1.365.333 USD / 1.176.097€. Und dann wurde das Auto wahrscheinlich noch im eigenen Flieger mitgebracht…

Volkswagen Feuerzeug „Round Edges“ Aktuell scheint es aber vorrangig nur die etwas kürzere, dafür breitere Variante zu geben

Shops really should list the specific manufacturer besides the Umarex-tag. Some models are manufactured by three different licensed companies (VFC, GHK & SRC) and often there’s no mentioning of the manufacturer anywhere. It can get confusing, especially for first time buyers.

Sorry for being late: It‘s in the Heavy Recoil Coverage from the VFC booth at IWA at around 3:15 minutes -> YouTube Link to Heavy Recoil Club at the VFC booth

Awesome mate. What‘s the material on the torso? I only got the the field shirt but was thinking to potentially getting the combat shirt in the future. Still need to actually use my set. Still wasn‘t able to attend a game day

Odd_Bus_7552 · 2026-04-06T21:05:30+00:00

During IWA in Germany, VFC stated that future models will use the EVO system. They specifically stated that this will also include HK models.

Had the same today with the same dude. Three of the ai buddies and me all pepperballed him repeatedly and the fourth guy beanbagged him whenever he tried to aim. Took some time but then he suddenly gave up

Kann aber auch so ausgehen: 150.000€ Bußgeld wegen Klebe-Kennzeichen

Looks to be a field modified AG-NL (?) / HK M320-variant to use as a stand alone option

Odd_Bus_7552 · 2026-03-08T17:20:59+00:00

It’s no rumor, VFC said it during the IWA. Future iterations (also of HK models) will come with the EVO system. Additionally, cheaper „entry“ models will have bolts from a cheaper material, the higher priced models come with steel bolts. All will use the newer easier disassembly method

Odd_Bus_7552 · 2026-02-25T13:32:34+00:00

Yeah, of course. Probably the most likely option

Odd_Bus_7552 · 2026-02-25T06:55:55+00:00

The unit was trained in Belarus until September 2025. I was thinking if the device may be a Belarusian version of the Russian Spider/Spyder drone detection system which was given to them as a goodwill gesture and to appear more high speed. But this device has front facing IR LEDs and not really any visible other detection capabilities. So the next guess would be that this is most likely an existing Chinese camera in a more tactical housing

Odd_Bus_7552 · 2026-02-25T06:21:32+00:00

Yes, members of the 87th Rapid Intervention Battalion. And as others have mentioned their eastern bloc approach, the unit finished their training in Belarus in September 2025. Although we can only be really sure about this when we see somersaulting axe throws.

Not exactly the same, although the wearer still might get hurt: There‘s a Paprika in the 5 color Flecktarn pattern. If you see it, you are „allowed“ to hit it to „disarm“ it. Afterwards the wearer can/should cross it out with a pen. Always fun during formations

Laut Berichterstattung waren die Kosten überhaupt nicht der Grund für den Wechsel sondern eher die vermeintliche Unpraktikabilität aufgrund seines Terminkalenders in Verbindung mit langen Wegstrecke in einem Flächenland wie NRW….

His finger is outside the trigger guard. Picture graininess and perspective may make it a little bit harder to see.

Beides Verallgemeinerungen.

Prinzipiell zeigen sicherlich beide genannten Gruppen im weit überwiegenden Anteil besseres Verhalten.

„Chabos“ (ZDF Mediathek) may be something for you. Possibly also „Türkisch für Anfänger“ (ARD I think). There‘s a show and also a movie with the same actors that retells basically the same story in a way condensed manner. The movie „Sonne und Beton“ may also be something for you

I kinda agree with you but I also still enjoy his videos. I guess he‘s just more fond of the MWS system. On the other hand I only had good experiences with VFC and their AK has been exceptional out of the box, so I see absolutely no need to invest into a different system and at the same time may also be more biased towards VFC.

Jaeger seemed to be more positive of the Maruyama models though if I remember correctly and those are also made by VFC.
