The ambi bolt handle looks nice though. Now if they could just release the CO2 mags for the AK I would be a 74U EDIT: Missed the prototype part in title and tags if someone wants to fix that.

TheFull9 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Magpul and WE in the same thread? Damn.. I'm not sure these atmospheric re-entry protection tiles I've nicked off underneath the space shuttle are going to be tough enough... Would've been more interested if it was GHK myself, but I should imagine this thing will at least be cheap with some good modern features built in. Link to post Share on other sites
kullwarrior Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 It has the PTS stuff on it, gonna be more expensive for sure. (not real, look carfully at 0:08 it says PTS) Link to post Share on other sites

adadqgg Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Get that *suitcase* out of here. This. WE jumps onto bandwagon? Fix that potmetal front and rear sight block first plox. Get that starfish mark off receiver!!! I like Starfish and this anime stuff but...this is airsoft. And they still do not make the "full travel(still short)" bolt move very fast...

adadqgg Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Is the star trade on the receiver not accurate? No. WE totally copied that from Clannad. Look at this: And WE: And now this: This is not replica of AK; this is Fuuko custom Starfish blaster! The amount of potmetal makes me sick. +1 Potmetal on GBBR externals is never a good idea.

Atsalakotos Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Umh. Cool gun, but I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Don't like the trades? fill them in or something... Plus I don't know much about real steel, but shouldn't it have American markings? Anyway. Will buy. Oh! And the bolt carrier on that one is clearly short stroked... Link to post Share on other sites

If you cannot interpret the pictures: that star is not like the real one. The American original was made by some Magpul employee off of Saiga something. Fill in the marking with what?

kullwarrior Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 adadqgg, WE is not going to 'fix' what is 'not broken' Partially I suspect this was done to avoid trademark issue in eastern Europe. (kinda like how they call G39 instead of G36) Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 You will not see any straight WE factory rifles with proper trades (unless the model is licensed thru some third party like ASG or Cybergun or Umarex), they don't do that. Only AFC versions have trades (M4 etc.). Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I find it strange how WE are saying licensing issues are preventing them from releasing new long guns when they went ahead with the non licensed G36 with no problem despite H&K being anal about protecting their IP with the whole resemblance thing.

adadqgg Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Epoxy - sand - repaint. Epoxy is not even metal. adadqgg, WE is not going to 'fix' what is 'not broken' Partially I suspect this was done to avoid trademark issue in eastern Europe. (kinda like how they call G39 instead of G36) It is broken from the factory. It is a little star; could be anyone's symbol; not to mention that the REAL one does not even have it. I am pretty sure they also have that on their 'akm'...which is also not supposed to have star. If you consider EVERYTHING they have 'not broken' then you should tell them to put a M4 frontend on it.

WhiteHawksan Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 arguing with Addaqq is like playing chess with a pidgeon. I'll refrain from the rest of the quote. This doesn't look all that interesting to be fair, feels more like an attempt to make a quick cash in on the sudden popularity of Mag-K's and feels half-hearted and badly thought out. I'd be far more interested in a GHK Mag-K. Link to post Share on other sites

calbur20 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 It actually looks ok. Granted purists will probably hate it, but if it makes manipulating the AK easier and gives regular peeps a way to attach optics, grips and other things on it, hey, why not, right? Just hope that other charging handle doesn't snap off, the bolt still looks pretty pot metal-y. Link to post Share on other sites
