Walton_County_Firefighter Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 WGC Home Its under the new releases and for $191 for a Maruzen you cant go wrong. Plus it can have a left or right hand bolt. Link to post Share on other sites
(V)atrix Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 One man's trash is another man's treasure... For me, this falls firmly in the 'trash' category (apperance wise, not quality wise). What in the hell is behind this unholy need to slap an M4 stock on every frakkin' gun out there?! Link to post Share on other sites
Nicoli Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 This was flagged a while back, but evidently it's out now. I'll dig out the link in a sec but basically it was confirmed as being a target rifle for the APS competition that Maruzen run and is only meant to be accurate at miniscule distances. Has no hop, and basically would not be skirmish worthy sadly Link to post Share on other sites
counterassasin Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 But does anyone know if this still basically is an APS2? If it was, I could switch the stock onto my APS2, along with my old internals Link to post Share on other sites
Nicoli Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I doubt it, if you look at the pics in the original thread (which I will dig out in a sec I promise) the entire bolt assembly appears to be a unique shape.. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...&hl=Maruzen there ya are. It's a shame, despite loathing anything armlite related, I actually like the look of this rifle in spite of it's armalite esque appearance **edit** infact yo can see the difference in the bolt assembly better in the pics linked by the OP here Link to post Share on other sites
scithe Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 "Muzzle Velocity: 270-185 FPS with 0.2g BBs"??? so... which is it? 185 or 270fps? Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I liked the look of this (after replacing the standard M4 stock with something better) but if it dosent have a hop this things going to fail so hard it will have its own gravitational pull....everything that fails will resolve around it Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 This is total and complete FAIL! Don't see any skirmish point in it at all. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Nicoli Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 This is total and complete FAIL! Don't see any skirmish point in it at all. 'FireKnife' Well...thats kinda the point! It's not meant to be a skirmish rifle! It's built for their APS cup tournament, at ranges well below skirmish ranges. SR = Simple rifle, NOT sniper ifle Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Hyde Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 /cry It's very ugly and I doubt it will be that great. If it gets a great review, than I'll buy it for my sniper buddy, otherwise forget. Link to post Share on other sites

Bodgeups Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I consider it a shame that they have stopped producing the APS2, and started making this. While I've got nothing to support this statement on, I'm willing to bet they are looking after the home market (much like how Digicon are stopping the production of heavyweight ammo). Hopefully they will release something better in the near future... Link to post Share on other sites
AGuy Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I like it a lot, I would switch the stock though. lack of hopup? and I think the 185 is a typo, perhaps it meant 285? Link to post Share on other sites
Nicoli Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Seeing as people seem to be glossing over what I've posted I'll directly quote the cahp from the original thread.. "I'm afraid that SR doesn't mean 'Sniper Rifle'. It means 'Simple Rifle' and that's just what this is. It's intended to be an entry level model for the Japanese APS cup competition and uses APS 3 parts and no hop to ensure consistency at the 10 meter range the competition requires. Previously all beginners either modified the CA870 (de-hopping a charger was popular) or shelled out for a Type96. If you don't like it, cool, but it has been built with the APS cup in mind, not sniping or skirmishing. For this, Maruzen have their target audience dialed in and they only live in Japan." No, there is no hop up. Yes, they are looking at their home market. Because it is designed for their APS cup, NOT skirmishing. But as ugly as it is....I do think it's pretty lol Link to post Share on other sites

terrorist killer Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I suppose it could be used to introduce armalite lovers to sniper rifles and I suppose if the stock is at 1st position then it helps when standing up for aiming with a zoom scope(well it does for me when I'm DM'ing with my WA) This gun is meant to be light, with the only accesories meant for it being an aimpoint and bipod, it is meant to be used when standing up hence the pistol grip and adjustable stock to introduce 'softers to snipers peak... or it could just be a race gun Link to post Share on other sites

elrey Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Fascinating speculation there Terrorist Killer, however you may want to practice reading previous posts in a thread before posting. Interesting though... I'd never heard of the Japanese APS cup. Link to post Share on other sites

terrorist killer Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I thought the APS cup was like IPSC for snipers? then it is a race gun Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 "Muzzle Velocity: 270-185 FPS with 0.2g BBs"??? so... which is it? 185 or 270fps? Maybe it's adjustable? If it's designed for a specific competition, maybe they have different classes for different power levels and it's designed to be used in more than one category? Link to post Share on other sites
Nicoli Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I thought the APS cup was like IPSC for snipers? then it is a race gun Once again you miss the point. The point that was made was that you completely ignored the post's above. Link to post Share on other sites
