More interesting stuff from Impulse101 today, its a mp5 with external gas tank and a bolt made to simulate heavy recoil.

The owner of Impulse101 writes that he is in contact with the factory and these are made when ordered so it may take up to 3 weeks before they are shipped out. 

 

Looks nice and the recoil is impressive, the price on the other hand...

No habla... French? But 74k in durka durka -land money sounds like a lot.

 

SRC makes very nice steel bodied MP5s with an affordable price tag. Can't be that hard to make a gbb-version and please, please SEF-selector.

If this is a renewed take on their system they are basically Daytonas. I had an Escort Colt 633 and I have two Daytonas, and the DG system is pretty much an evolutioned version of the Escort.

 

If it's well made they are great fun. The old Escorts are trickier, and the new ones... Who knows :)

 

Edit: The picture of the selector is frightening. Where is it pointing at?

The problem with these is that the recoil assembly is made of brass which is very soft.

DaytonaGun made a steel internal set for these which didn't eat its own collets and destroy itself.

 

These do not work well out of the box and they don't last well without serious care.

 

The bodies were good, ish.  Real bits fit them.

 

AS has come a long way since these were state of the art.  30 years ago.
