Sold in 18m rolls but they can provide free samples which might be enough for my needs

Its kinda stupid of them to label it as gun tape, when exporting to countries with strict gun laws. Hope i have no problem with it shipped to Sweden

Do the hardware stores not sell this type of thing in many areas?

I have seen a similar product in the safety section(for stairs and stuff) and also sometimes bathroom section(strips to make your tub non slip).

It may be worth checking local hardware stores to see if you can get this stuff in areas that will not allow "Gun" tape.

You're lucky to be STILL living in a FREE country, compared to elsewhere.
 
yeah the ww2 thing is somewhat bizarre. but on the other hand, i think they're trying to make a strong point of how they want to "move on" from that image, and i can definitely respect them for it.

though the violence in games, i quite disagree with how strict they are.
how hard is it to get around that btw? are you pretty much stuck with low- or non violence for most games?
i remember before steam etc you could often find patches, or just (somehow) get yourself a copy from another country, but is suppose it's not that easy anymore

Well I got it from the "official" website I guess. Just google "Gt-5000 tape" and you'll find the non-amazon-link. Then I just used the worldwide page and ordered.

Also here's a picture of the plasticbag it was sent in.



So it doesn't really draw any attention towards anything related to guns I guess. Unless people know about GT-5000
 
Gt5000 tape on my mice is distracting for me. I prefer a smooth finish with rubberized grip, similar to electrical tape, but electrical tape seems to get slick within half an hour of applying it. Still looking for something similar to electrical tape but more durable and rubberized

Just placed an Order for it and sure enough they will ship it to my hell-hole down under as well.

Go figure, finally bought something that is officially banned by the morons in Canberra, now I have to wait and see if it arrives or wait for the customs scum to contact me.

Thanks c0dy, for the link, much appreciated

Yes. It can easily be removed without hassle and leaves no residue.
