carbonfibreguy Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Pardon me, as I don't know how to embed youtube videos correctly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9uf9VVcqBA That right there is the rep of the AAC Honey Badger. For those unfamiliar with it, it's a special AR based weapon chambered in .300 Blackout, with a shortened buffer, revised upper and lower receivers, a 6" barrel, and a unique stock. It's supposedly the same length as a MP5SD! Here's an article on TTAG: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/aac-honey-badger-whats-it-all-about/ I can't wait to get my hands on it, even if it's a GBB and a plastic body at that, but there isn't much info on it so far. I just hope it doesn't turn into vaporware. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Ares... Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Pretty sure that's an AEG. Charging handle doesn't go back far enough and the detent on the bolt carrier isn't deep enough. Also AEG mags. And yeah, ARES. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 ARES = 1 part ambition + 1 part OK design - 1000 some horrible engineering flaw. Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 ARES = 1 part ambition + 1 part OK design - 1000 some horrible engineering flaw. Makes you wonder how these things get sold out plenty of times... oh wait! Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 That stock so retractable so wow. But seriously ares are pretty good at selling parts so the stock could be a nice option for custom guns. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Is there a chance they might not have *suitcase* the internals in there this time? Maybe? ..one can hope? They've got to change their game around some day... right? Link to post Share on other sites
Interficium Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'm just throwing a polar star in it anyways. Really wish the receiver was metal though. Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Maybe a premium edition with a pot metal receiver... Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Is there a chance they might not have *suitcase* the internals in there this time? Maybe? ..one can hope? Granted it's under their Amoeba line which is essentially their sportline/economy model, probably not. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Maybe that's why it's called Amoeba: internals/externals so flimsy, it might as well be comprised of unicellular organisms. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Makes you wonder how these things get sold out plenty of times... oh wait! Because they are the only ones that offer such a design so no matter how *suitcase* the internals are people just have to put up with it until someone else bothers to make one . Still If they made both the short handguard version, it could take a conventional battery and it wasn't Ares I might be interested. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Pdubyuh Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Why cant someone 1/2 decent be making this, I dont like ARES (I had a Star M249, it was great when it worked, but the issue was that wasnt very often, very often at all!!), Its got a plastic body, eeurrgghh, the mags look weird, and I had vowed never to give them another penny. However, its a honey badger and I want one !! I've been thinking could you swap the lower for a metal one, could you shoehorn a TM recoil gear box in it.... hmmmm Link to post Share on other sites

'FireKnife' + it is a known fact that they ship the worst to the UK. Unless it's not an M4, i am pretty much done with AEG's. Be it Ares or another brand. Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Repost: http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/211526-ares-amoeba-ccr-pdw-aeg/page-2&do=findComment&comment=2685052 I didn't think a variant was worth its own thread, when the Amoeba series already had one. Though this one certainly has more appeal than the MP5-ish ones. Link to post Share on other sites
tquilha Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'll wait for WE to make the GBBR, metal bodied version... Link to post Share on other sites
Pdubyuh Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Are WE making a GBBR version? or is that speculation, it'd be good if they were, but I may have to splash out on this in the mean time, its not gonna be too expensive... Link to post Share on other sites
Hopna Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 As far as I know they aren't making one, although I wouldn't mind them doing so. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I will either be having the entire rifle to throw my P* into it as well or I will be purchasing the parts separately to add to my rifle I've already built. If they make a premium version with a metal receiver I will be all over it mind you! Link to post Share on other sites
Pdubyuh Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yep I'd also like a metal bodied one, and yep I may well replace all of the internals to make it shoot OK, but god damn thats just too sexy looking! Link to post Share on other sites

Isamu Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 More useful than an Ares gun, certainly! just kidding Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I didn't even know there was a place called Vanuatu until the spam-bot chose it . Also you are right Isamu it is. However I would still like a short handguard Honey Badger AR in black, the longer one just wouldn't be useful for me as I don't subscribe to this use of thumb over bore stuff in airsoft when there is no recoil and it is irritatingly uncomfortable.

cazboab Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 See I'm wondering now if I have a text based speech impediment, cos I know I've asked at least two out of you three to report spam and not post your own witty commentary, thereby bumping the potentially malicious links. In other words: Mother *fruitcage* , did I *fruitcage* stutter? Link to post Share on other sites
