So...you're saying we need to bomb the iternet? Darklite, ready the attack!

Hip hip, horray! hip hip, eh you get the point...
Anyways, the new server rocks out with its socks out. No more of the forums crashing at the exact moment I go on to find someone's address to ship out a part.

Won't work, I believe these are actually humans posting these. The MAA forum has one of the text-in-an-image things, I believe, and we got a spambot for penis enlargement just the other day.

Yeah...sorry about that. My sunday school class gets a bit out of hand sometimes.

Awesome review, +1 fo' joo!
-
Ah, nothing beats the unmistakeable smell of victory.

I really find this quite humorous, all of it. Before continuing I'll say: what the hell are you trying to prove, that a gun kit which costs several times more that a gun intended to be an affordable replica is better? No sh*t sherlock.
I find it amusing that you have the audacity to call me arrogant, when you make outlandish claims about the SRC RPK. I'm not saying that people shouldn't buy SRC, it's your money, what I am saying is there are better quality kits out there.Outlandish? O RLY? What have I said that's outlandish? Of course there are other kits that are higher quality, they just happen to cost several times more and don't come with a gearbox.
Wow, TM never made a RPK. When I was talking about the dimensions of the receiver, it was that Guarder correctly replicated a RPK receiver, which is thicker than a standard AK receiver. Oh, I did forget to mention that I received a Hero Arms 3000 round drum magazine with my RPK. What I am simply trying to say is that a RPK is really just another AEG, and it will perform like an AEG, but if you crave someting unique, why not save up and keep you eyes open for a quality kit?What the hell is your point? No sh*t TM never made an RPK.
it's at least as good as a Marui would be"Note the use of "would be." Plus, who said that my friend (who I assume you're talking about, since I don't own the gun) was craving something unique and expensive? If you'd actually bothered to read the post, you'll see that he got it to see how the SRC line of AKs is. No sh*t it's another AEG. Hell, the M134 replicas are just an AEG, it's the body style that people are after. What does it matter that the reciever is a few mm thicker? It makes absolutely no difference in anything in airsoft and is not even noticeable unless you speficially mention it.
but really you make it seem so hard to obtain a guarder or inokatsu RPKWhen did I say this? I said they are expensive, which they are.
The most interesting thing is that you incessantly make comparisons between the SRC RPK and the Guarder kit, however when I point to the positive aspects of the Guarder kit you only refer to the price tag.I need a minute to let my blood settle a second for this one.
IT'S A REVIEW OF THE SRC RPK. YOU CAME OUT OF THE BLUE AND SAID THE GUARDER (WHICH COSTS SEVERAL TIMES MORE) IS BETTER. NO SH*T I'M COMPARING IT TO THE GUARDER, YOU BROUGHT IT UP.
Honestly, what do you think I'm going to compare it to, a CM023?
Let's make a pros-cons list of the 2, shall we?
SRC:
pros:
-very affordable, only $268 for a complete AEG
-once upgraded lightly, performance is nothing short of fantastic.
-even with all upgrades, batts, and drum mags the gun is under $450
-full metal out of the box, good metal too
-wood print is as good or better than most wood kits I've seen
-comes with a hicap
cons:
-apparently the reciever is a few mm too thin for you. Who gives a *fruitcage* anyways?
-though it can compete out of the box, upgrades are required to make the gun really worth it
Guarder:
Pros:
-real wood
-steel (well, one kit is)
-more realistic probably
Cons:
-no gearbox included
-$450 for kit with no reciever, $900 for steel full set version which is no longer made (still no GB)
-no hicap
-requires the purchase of another AEG (TM AK47)
Hell, I'll buy an SRC and do all this to it before I ever buy a guarder kit. Skipping all of this, here is the main reason the SRC is a good buy:
IT'S F***ING AFFORDABLE, AND IS THE ONLY RPK AEG MADE
Again, no company makes an RPK AEG, SRC was the first. Guarder and ikonatsu only make kits, and those alone cost several times more than the SRC. What if SRC made an MG42, wouldn't you want to buy one? Oh wait, you can go buy a custom made one for $2200, so you should completely ignore the $250 SRC which was made to be an affordable replica.
-
I added $100 because the guarder kit doesn't come with a metal reciever. The only one that does is the all steel kit, which hasn't been made in a long time and costs nearly $1000 new. Ikonatsu kits are even higher. It doesn't matter one bit what your USED one came with, the standard kit doesn't have one. Why buy used when you can get new, anyways? Plus, buying an upgraded used gun is a horrible idea, since you have no idea who installed them, if the parts were installed correctly, all that stuff. Regardless, upgraded+used=bad idea.
The SRC replicated the reciever or a Marui correctly, from what I can see. Their replicas are excellent; afaik the armalites are built to exacting dimensions of a Marui. It'd certainly explain why they're completely compatible with them. Besides, I highly doubt the guarder one replicates it so perfectly anyways, since it would make the gun incompatible with aftermarket parts.
"kind of" looks like like an RPK? You're joking, right? The gun is a perfect replica of one; it's at least as good as a Marui would be. The faux wood kit looks excellent; I'd prefer it to any wood kit I've ever seen. The grain looks very realistic. The pictures online really don't do it justice.
Also, does yours have a drum mag that feeds as well as standards? Didn't think so.
So, let's recap. For around $450, you can get a full metal perfect replica of an RPK with absolutely astounding performance, new. For nearly $1000 you can get a guarder kit which doesn't perform as well. If you want to shoot for the steel kit, it will run you around $1300 for all that and still won't perform as well. You got yours used and upgraded, which basically means you could get a gun with a gearbox filled with internals equal to goat semen. With the SRC, you get a fantastic replica with excellent performance, very realistic looks, full metal, and doesn't drain your wallet by any means. SRC makes replicas with near marui-quality (well, they are now) internals and near CA-quality externals, sans the ABS bodies on their G36s. Not to mention they cost about 2/3 as much as their more expensive counterparts.
What are you trying to prove, anyways? That your gun, which would cost at least $1000 new (if you got the drum mag, forgot to mention it before), is superior to something that costs less than half as much and is intended to be an affordable quality replica? Way to make yourself look like an arrogant ****.

Well, it had damn well better be a lot better quality. The guarder kit is:
-$225 for TM AK
-$475 for guarder kit
-$35 for hicap
-$100 for metal body and support parts
-$50 for a nice tightbore
That totals $900 with shipping. This is 3 times what the SRC costs. If it wasn't much better quality, no one would even think about buying it.
Anyways, the new piston head, nozzle, firefly bucking, and tightbore were installed today. This totally made the gun rock! It shoots about 10% over the forum limir now, is very accurate, and fires around 1100 RPM on the 10.8v battery we have in there. Totals:
SRC RPK: $275
tightbore: $50
firefly bucking: $15
used drum mag: $75
-10.8v custom: $45 on ebay
-piston head $20
1J spring: $10
$445. This is still about half of what the guarder costs for something that performs MUCH better. At that price, this gun is a seriously good support gun and I would reccomend it to anyone with a little work.
-
Thanks! If you buy one for game purposes (not just wallhanging), pick up at least a 9.6v battery and most likely some power upgrades too. Performance was mediocre before, but that 40 or so FPS and ROF upgrade really kicked it into gear. I want one now
. I'd also like to see what a tightbore barrel does to it. It most definitely has potential to be a kick-*albatross* support or sniper weapon, but you'll need to put a bit of work into it. Otherwise, it's just a ridiculously massive mediocre assault rifle.Psycho: Yes, yes, yes times a million. The entire weight of the gun is in front of your trigger hand, with only the battery to balance it out. Hell, the bipod alone probably cancels out the battery in weight since it attatches at the way front. Imagine tying a 2 pound weight to the front of a regular AK47, and holding that. It's pretty unbalanced; you can tell it was made to be a bipod weapon.

Well, he got fed up with the lack of performance and decided to up the power. We opened up the gearbox about a week ago and checked everything out. It looks very similar to my XM8, read up on the review here of said XM8 with pictures for detailed info on that. We put a 1J spring in there and did some regular lubing. Immediately the gun chrono'ed at around 320, but it has since broken in and shoots in the 300-310 range. I'm guessing the gun has some compression issues in it, so a new piston head and possibly air nozzle will be in order. I'll keep you guys updated on it.

PC usage: Sledge raped me last night, and now I'm afraid to go to sleep.
Internet usage: Sledge totally post-raped me, and now I'm afraid to go to sleep.
Arnies usage: Sledge's gun has been totally raped to the point where it's hideousness makes me afraid to go to sleep.
-
He brings up a good point. Is there rape in the animal kingdom excluding humans? I'd really like to know.
OP: rape on arnies=fugly add-ons/body kits/ other mods to make a gun very unappealing to the eye. Don't take it too hard.
rape on arnies =/= forced sexual acts.
-
I ran a chrono a bit ago right after a fresh coat of lube and a good cleaning of the tightbore. Before the barrel was put in, it ran about 310-320. The sights are just about completely useless with your cheek bone on, and with the jawbone you can almost see them well enough for regular use. Realistically, without a sight of some sort the sights aren't really practical for skirmish use.
-
In short: don't modify the gun. Strangely enough, I could get the hopup out with just a fair bit of force to replace the barrel. If you readers are looking for a performance and such review, I wrote a mini-one a bit lower down the page.
-
I covered this a little bit in mine. Maximum range will be 150-160 feet with no wind at all in perfect conditions with hop set at the exact right place. In a regular skirmish expect about 140 max then, since conditions probably won't be perfect. All's i have to compare it to accuracy-wise is my SG1, which it is (obviously) less accurate than.
-
Agreed ^^^^^^^^^
I gave it a 10 in my review, as I really can't think of anything SRC could have done to make this better considering its low price tag.
-
I'd like to switch over to random_hero, just because mine now is a little long and cumbersome.

Okay, but use smileys if you are joking. When you don't things like this happen. Retaliatory rep reported. Read the rules before posting.

You, sir, are a disrespectful idiot who clearly knows nothing about teh intranets. This is a site error that just happens sometimes. I know it's happened to me once or twice, and i'm not A N00B HITTING RANDOM BUTTONS; i probably wouldnt have gotten this far on the forums without getting banned if I had been. Bengali, don't sweat it, it just happens sometimes. It probably has some relation to the recent screw-uppy-ness of the forums lately.

The FAMAS is the epitome of creakiness. It would take a lot to be creakier than that. The XM8 is hardly creaky, but it is just enough to be worth mentioning. The stock is a tiny bit loose and seems to creak a bit. By front end flex he means the entire front end. The entire gun is pretty much a plastic shell around a gearbox and shell, as opposed to something like an M4 where there are smaller sections the gun is built out of. The front end of the gun, just as he says, flexes a little bit, as simple as that. A lot of people don't know this from the pictures, but this is a big gun. By big, i mean it is tall and fat. Imagine holding a giant fish, that's about what it is.
As for the grenade launcher, my main goal now is to find some kind of very light AG36 (how light is the smokey's btw? If it is all plastic it might not be a bad bet), and secure the handguard enough to mount it. I already put a G36 rail under the handguard and a .75lb flashlight underneath and it's holding up great! I plan to screw a few rods between the area by the cocking handle and the handgrip and make some kind of support beam structure. If not that, then i'll drill some holes, add some pins, add a few metal rods along the handguard to strengthen it and see how a smaller launcher holds up. One way or another i'm gonna get this to work.
-
Can we just end this stupid discussion? We're already out of forum limits on what we can discuss, and this is hardly even worth discussing anyways.
Sale: regardless, you can't argue that a metal bb will be softer than a plastic one. Because of this, even if they do shatter, the very slight amount of flex a bb has will be greater on the plastic one because it's softer. That was my point before, and thats my point now. If something is softer, it will hurt less.
Boom, done, end of story.
-
Fantastic guide, now I can finally get mine apart! I'd like a second opinion from another owner though: do you think the front will be able to support the weight of a grenade launcher? I was thinking of picking up an AG36 or HK69 and putting it on mine, it would be teh ubAr-sEcHs.
-
Density means absolutely nothing, since they are all .3g and 6mm. Regardless, they have the same relative density. What makes a difference is the hardness of the substance. Most high-quality bbs are designed to flex when they hit something (they do this to prevent shattering, but flexing instead). Metal, on the other hand, is a much stronger substance than plastic is and therefore doesn't flex nearly as easily. As a result of this, when it hits something more energy is transferred into the target, as opposed to a plastic bb in which less energy is transferred since flexing keeps it from transferring more energy.
Think of it like a paintball. A 3 gram paintball moving 600 fps will deliver about 52J of energy, but why doesn't that kill people/give them concussions in head shots? Because the paintball squishes when it hits the target, so not all the energy will be transferred into the target. If paintballs made of metal were fired at the same velocity, however, paintball guns would probably be illegal since they could be potentially fatal.
Get it? Good.
AAH! Whats wrong with Arnies?

Yeah, I saw it too. Not there anymore, though.
