DarkLite Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Not a VFC clone - internally the A&K M60s and such will use their CA style M249 gearboxes. Link to post Share on other sites

1st_shooter Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 i wonder how much they are gonna cost overall, a certain company is staking 20$ deposits of them but cant list them for sale because of A&K's rules apparently. Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I know how much it is, and looking at it makes every cheap dollar you pay for it, worth it. Link to post Share on other sites

Frontiers Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 he sure loves to sell things that he dont have hehe where is AKMS? that was coming soon in his page Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Time to sell a few guns off to make room I reckon. Of course, if anyone wants to send me one to review... Yeah well, I can dream can't I? Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I hope the finishing on the metal parts is more like in the last pic. If its like in the first one we got ourselves the most bling-bling pimp gun out there. And 280$!? Ill wait till it settles down to 200-240$, like the M249s did. EDIT: The "!?" stands for awesome, as it costs even less than the M249s when they came out. Im not complaning, Im just saying I will wait to buy this as the price will surely go down after half a year or so. 280$ is amazing, but 230$ would be awesomer. Thanks A&K!! P.S. I hope it doesnt weigh too much. The best thing about my STAR Mk43 was the fact that it was so light and maneuverable. Link to post Share on other sites
kken Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 amazing you would complain about a $280 price tag. Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 amazing you would complain about a $280 price tag. It still is china goods you know. Bjorn Link to post Share on other sites
kken Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 It still is china goods you know. Bjorn ok, guess i will expect you to complain about anything more than $1 i suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 That thing looks shagtatsic, looks like the M249 will be getting retired for this beast and a new "MAC" impression, better get workin on me tan. Link to post Share on other sites
NeoVeNoM Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 MK43 + tigerstripe BDU + Black & Green painted face = epic win. All we need now is monsoons in the summer. Btw I didn't know "awesomer" is actually a word. I thought in English it's "more awesome". but then again, it's not my native language. Do want to know though. Link to post Share on other sites
Pablo Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 It still is china goods you know. ...and if it's as good as their M249, it'll be fantastic. I just hope the magazine feeds properly, as aftermarket mags aren't so readily available at the moment. Still, I'm sure I'll be able to fettle any bugs out of it. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 That looks a bit of a beast to try and lug around the skirmish field, and with the boxmag sticking out that far a little unwieldy in terms of actually reaching the fore grip. That said, it also looks intimidating as hell. Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 he sure loves to sell things that he dont have hehe where is AKMS? that was coming soon in his page LOLZ! Link to post Share on other sites
Clot Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Looks to be a clone of the VFC, boxmag anyway. The boxmag will be annoying as hell and occasionally rubbish, perhaps they changed it to be better ? Otherwise, check out the vfc mk43 support page on here, lots of helpful tips and what not Link to post Share on other sites

That said, it also looks intimidating as hell. I used to own a STAR/ARES Mk43 (the one with RAS) and the boxmag never got in the way, unlike my M249 para. The Star version was made almost entirely out of plastic, thus it was very light and quite comfortable to carry around and shoulder: it looked like a beast, but it was quite wieldly (but then Im rather tall and have quite long arms). The A&K version, being made almost entirely out of metal (and I doubt its aluminium) will probabily be quite heavy and thus not the most comfortable weapon to play with. Here's a friend's Star M60, that I modded exactly like mine: Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Not really... unless you get to higher end military standards of fitness then lugging a full metal M60 replica around all day is still going to be seriously difficult, plus overall size is as much of an issue as weight in terms of skirmishing with it. Also eggs and bacon are really not the ideal things to be eating when you're trying to build up muscle, egg whites and lean chicken maybe, but egg yoke and bacon are full of nasty, greasy ######. To be honest mate I've actually done some real weight carrying over very long distances for days/weeks on end, so I don't appreciate being told I need to bulk up by a civilian who's never met me or has any clue what I've done in my career.
