chas Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 What's this "airsoft online shop" like? If I went to a restaurant and it's called "Restaurant", I can't help but feel suspicious about it Im gonna be the guinea pig here: I saw that they were selling the XM for 189$ + 62$ in shipping and went ahead and ordered one. I figured: since I use paypal, I should be able to retrieve my money if this is a... I dont want to say it. Ill let you guys know! Link to post Share on other sites

blobface Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Oh £169 is actually worth me getting it from the UK if Chas had to pay $251 USD before ransom charge.. provided this fubarbundy doesn't charge too much for shipping (since when is that a thing?.. first airsoft online shop, now this shop, I'm losing track of airsoft shops) Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 What are their shells like compared to the aps shells? I'm genuinely torn between their new buccaneer shotgun or the hwa shan double barrel gun (punch the barrels put and convert to mad bull shells) Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 PPS is three, APS is 12. Link to post Share on other sites

blobface Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'll definitely be converting the XM26 in order to take APS shells anyway... it's by far the most realistic system and the external dimension of the two are very similar. Link to post Share on other sites

chas Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Finally received mine. I'm at work, so I could only briefly take it out of the box, but obviously not shoot it or even load it. It's very lightweight and the action (w/o shells) seems very smooth. Too bad it came with an orange flash hider. Will post more info and pics tonight. BTW: it came with two shells, even though they were not mentioned in the product description. Link to post Share on other sites

T3CH Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 If you can I'd love to see how the mount is for an under barrel setup. My question is does it fit on a RIS? Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Looks like it would with a 20mm to 20mm adapter. The barrel mounts are removable if you look closely Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

The barrel mounts are removable if you look closely Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk it needs an adapter, definitely. OOTB this thing is designed to either be stand-alone or mounted on an M4. However, the top rail and the rear mount are bolted on. That means it has 4 screw holes on the top. Chances are you can find some RIS mount that you can simply bolt into the existing holes. EDIT: I just tested it. An ACOG mount (can be had for 8.39 US$, including shipping) will screw on the forward hole of the rear mount and the rear hole of the top rail. The hole on the mount need to be filed a bit as the distance between the centers of the holes is around 2 mm shorter than on the gun. Easy mod. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW-Metal-Plane-Bottom-Base-DIY-11-mm-rail-mount-Standard-Adapter-Rail-Mount-Hunting-Accessories/32390463923.html?spm=2114.031010208.3.44.j2kkA4&ws_ab_test=201556_2,201527_4_71_72_73_74_75,0_0 Other things: most parts on this gun, except for the barrel, charging handle, trigger, internals and stock tube, are plastic. The mayority is a very sturdy material (similar tu G36 nylon) and it has a sandy finish, so it kinda looks metalic. In standalone configuration, it's a bit to light. Since it uses a GBB grip, maybe you can put weights in there and in the stock tube, to give it a heftier feel. But once it's mounted on a gun, I bet most people will be thankful for the little weight. The box magazine and the flash hider are made from a flimsier material and feel and look cheap. Also, the flash hider is orange. Cycling is not very smooth. When pulling the charging handle back, it sometimes sticks and Im afraid to break it. The box mags feeds fine and I believe it will take 6 or 7 shells. Can't tell you for sure, but I only have 4 shells: two from the Xm-26 and two from the M870. Cant give you an exact range. but hits a human sized target at 20 meters no problem. More info and pictures coming the following days. Link to post Share on other sites

klh31 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Got mine this week-end: It is the US version with red flash-hider even if it came from a HK shop (painted black upon receipt). I tried to fire the shells filled with propane (the only gaz I currently have at my disposal) and the spring is not strong enough to trigger the shot. I have therefore ordered 5 CNC propane/co2 shells and hope it will be fine. Therefore no shooting test experienced yet. The cycling is correct but need some force. Link to post Share on other sites

klh31 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 No, I just extended it to the maximum (the FH is mounted on a spring and therefore can be extended / retracted at will for those who are not aware of it), put some tape around the main barrel to protect the other parts and spray-painted the whole thing in black several times in thin slices. I've tried again using the propane, and this time it worked. Maybe because I put the shells apart and greased each moving part. Link to post Share on other sites

chas Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I mounted in on my Dboys M4 last night. Takes about 5 minutes to change from stand-alone to mounted config. It fits right in and require no modding. Its pretty toght, only a slight lateral movement that does not bother me. BTW: the stock the gun comes with is a sort of slim mod-stock. I really like it.
