FireKnife Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well if i were you don't bother with the Ring Sights, they suffer from the horrible problem of losing focus and fading out when moving from good to bad light, like entering a dark room or house due to how they work. But this is some damn good news and will be next on my list of things to spend on. Sportline and Proline production i assume? And if any mids come along then i will kill others to get them, been waiting ages for P90 mids. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Harmless Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 The Factory ring sight is Pooh. I'm trying to add a red led mod to illuminate the sight ring at all times as it looks good but has all the above mentioned problems And sorry do you say the red dot sight version does not have a red dot sight in it? So why would you buy it Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I think he meant when buying the RDS receiver as separate that it doesn't come with the internal functions of the RDS. I'm pretty sure that buying the whole gun in a box will come with it installed. Link to post Share on other sites
SGCDude Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 HAPPY DANCE! I hope they sell the red dot separately... Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Its late and im tired but ASNEWS is reporting this as being a sportline...is that the case or are their wires crossed? The quality of the plastic in that picture would lead me to believe its a pro-line but hey, id be pleasantly surprised if it ended up being a sportline. Link to post Share on other sites
Perch Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 The TM one also looks more like Polymer, but it's ABS. With the CA M14, CA prove that they could make ABS look a little gray with some paint, and you got the impression it was fibre reinforced Polymere Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 As above, the biggest problem with the P90 sight is that it doesn't work well in some lighting conditions. There's a Tritium insert to make the sight glow at night but it is VERY feint and is really only useful for illuminating the reticle in complete darkness, in conjunction with NVGs. Ironically, the P90 sight suffers most in varied lighting such as that in CQB. The sight collects ambient light and focusses it to illuminate the reticle so when you're moving from light to dark areas you can sometimes struggle to see the sight while your eyes adjust to the new level of light. It really isn't that bad though, IMO. If you hold the gun at rest and then shoulder it before firing it can catch you out. If you move with the gun shouldered you'll do a lot better. Top tip: If you're buying a Ring Sight, MAKE SURE IT COMES WITH THE TWO ADJUSTING RINGS. They're the 2 threaded rings that screw into the sight and which the allen screws fit through to bolt the sight to the gun. Tokyo Marui (for some reason) use a different thread on the adjusting rings on their P90 RDS so you CANNOT use the rings from the airsoft gun on a real P90 sight. You NEED the real adjusters.

AnakChan Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 EOTech FTW! Hmmm...never fancied the EoTech on the P90...'cos IMHO it's some what too high. I went for a lower profile Bushnell XLP.

TheKurodaVagrant Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Its late and im tired but ASNEWS is reporting this as being a sportline...is that the case or are their wires crossed? The quality of the plastic in that picture would lead me to believe its a pro-line but hey, id be pleasantly surprised if it ended up being a sportline. The receiver appears to be plastic. Look at the abscesses/depressions near the rear and front sights, that's characteristic of plastic injection molding. Metals cool a bit more uniformally and don't do that. Also, polymer = plastic, ABS is a polymer just as much as anything else. I believe the word you guys are looking for is composite. Link to post Share on other sites
zulu342 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Looks nice ... glad they're starting to move into other guns Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 From what I've heard, they will be making both proline ans portline. The former will have a metal receiver and RD while the later is the plastic receivered TR. Link to post Share on other sites
orca Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 From what I've heard, they will be making both proline ans portline. The former will have a metal receiver and RD while the later is the plastic receivered TR. Originally the Proline and Sprotline as announced by CA earlier this year at Shotshow were only the TR. The difference being the Proline would have metal receiver and a rumor the Proline would have an upgraded gearbox. http://www.spartanimports.com/content/inde...3&Itemid=29 These latest pics of the RDS are newer then the CA Shotshow release news. So things may change when they actually release. Stay tuned. Will post confirmations once I get them. Link to post Share on other sites
crusader4x Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hmmm...never fancied the EoTech on the P90... I agree. It was said in another thread that a P90 with an Eotech makes it look like it's wearing a hat. Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Funny that this is coming out at about the same time as the JG/ECHO1 P90's... Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Didn't even know they where releasing a P90, if it is a metal receiver and half decent I would get one. Link to post Share on other sites
The S.C.A.R. Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Proline P90s are confirmed to be out soon. And to awnser one of your questions, the magazine is a hi-cap, and can hold 300 rounds, same as a TM hicap or an M16 hicap. Low-cap magazines are not out yet, but from what I hear back in HK they would be out soon. Link to post Share on other sites
david.carroll01 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Mine sticks Outwards on Full auto which is a big problem. Reason being is that if the nozzle sticks out wards too much then the BBs cannot feed in. Right now using a 8.4v Nimh battery but I tried my Lipo on it and the ROF is insane but its so fast that the BBs are not feeding in because the Nozzle is stuck forward causing the BBs not to drop in the loader. So that leaves a bitter taste as I remember when I had my TM P90 and tried it with a Lipo is cycled well AND Echo1 can also take Lipos and feed properly too. In conclusion CA P90 if you want a good upgrade platform Echo1 or TM P90 may be better. Don't get me wrong the CA P90 is fine the way it is but if you want crazy ROF then you may have to fix it up or look elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites
