Had a thought earlier today: Why has TM not looked at releasing an updated version of their sig 552? It seems like one of the models they would have considered for either the "High Cycle" or "Next Gen EBB" systems. I still see them from time to time in vids from over there and think there must still exist some interest in them.
-
For a while TM focused on MARSOC and now they've undoubtedly poured a lot of resources on the new Type 89 GBBR. I doubt they'll do anything Sig 55X related in the near future as it will be eclipsed by hype for GHK's 553.

Have had an odd fascination with the few plastic akm-style magazine options that came out nearly a decade ago, such as the Guarder shells, the Cyma ribbed ones (which iirc are based off the Polish and Bulgarian patterns but there exist Russian examples) and the MAG brand ones that seem to be not carried anymore by anyone here in the US. Was wondering if anyone actually likes running the latter two with their 7.62 kalash options. I confess I have thought about getting a black cyma one for my soon to be unwrapped cyma ak100 series carbine.

Heard LCT has a rpk drum mag in the works, anyone betting it will fail like all the others? If I ever got my rpk to actually work good I'd be tempted nonetheless.

HobbyKing having a 20 percent off coupon for Super Bowl apparently, just picked up some extra lipos for my collection. GAMEON is the code I believe, Big Banner on their website.

I'd like to hear folk's thoughts on the G&G CM16 LMG being shown off lately. I agree with most detractors about the cost, the fact that the internals are not really built for the role it is supposed to represent, etc. but for some reason I just like the look of it (and folks will know I am anything but an armalite fan at all) due to the shape of the upper. I kinda want to see what G&G would do to make an ak variant of the same concept, whether they would take one of their rk74 rifles and slap a drum mag on it or would they bother designing a rpk length receiver, maybe make a pseudo rpk-16.
-
Nothing against it really, not to my taste but I'm not sure that there's anything inherently unsuitable about the v3 gearbox for LMG usuage. But as these type of light weight LMG's become more common - rpk16 is a good example - milsim organisers will have to think a bit different about how they class and balance them. I'd suggest 12kg - weight of gun = weight you have to carry on your person AT ALL TIMES haha. Easy!
-
I hardly ever see LMGs on the field and I'd like to see more, especially if it means regular ARs/SMGs being limited to semi-auto. I'd happily take a couple of these pretty-clearly-just-a-dressed-up-AR-15 things if that's what it takes to stop literally everyone else wasting 100rds at a time from their regular AEG.

Is Cyma the only company to make 7.62x39 akm polymer mags in black? I kinda want to get that ak104 look at times, but it pains me that the cyma ones look a bit off and only a few shops (evike really afaik) carry them.
-
Just finished watching Mach Sakai's latest vid on a maruzen m93r nbb pistol and was amused that it lacked the burst mode. Made me wonder if there has even been a nbb that had a burst or full auto function, or is it just not possible with such a system?
-
Not possible. It's a double action NBB with your finger doing all the work of loading and firing. The only way for something like that to fire a burst is if it loads and fires multiple bbs in one cycle of the trigger like a malfunctioning TM gas revolver.

Just had an odd thought: Instead of buying multiple GATE NanoASR for most or my v3 gearbox replicas, I could just procure the double signal wire and wiring for the motor connection parts and just disconnect the mosfet whenever I want to swap out, couldn't I?
-
On a whim I decided to look at a silly LCT aks74u variant that has a polmer folding stock, and saw it on firesupport. Apparently not only is it cheaper/same price as the Asia shops, but somehow it ends up costing only a pound to ship to the USA? (somehow VAT free line takes off 48 pounds off the 49 it showed). Mind boggling when some of the Asia shops were charging 100 dollars or more. Wish I had an excuse to test this out, I rather we got the downgraded fps versions here as well.
-
Shot in the dark but maybe someone can answer this: Is it possible for the Flare/Smoke grenade pouches on the SSO/SPOSN Lazutchik (not the M model) to hold a Bizon magazine? I've heard about sposn's rpk pouches being able to hold .5liter bottles and whatnot and folks have used them before for bizon mags, and since those smoke pouches supposedly hold a .5 liter bottle...
-
Sigh, is it wrong to wish a manufacturer will come out with a RPK-16 model with quality internals (good mosfet, qsc shell, motor, gears, bucking and barrel at least) and somehow package both long and short barrel setups that be swapped easily? Never going to happen at the rate the industry is at though.
-
So, from le old google translate on TM's website, it seems they are making their 74mn model again. I assume this is not an updated version right? I remember awhile back hearing talk about how their ak next gen series did not sell as hoped but they were considering in the future relaunching the line.
-
So, it is only just now that I have heard of ICS making a Makarov. Apparently first shown back in 2016, has anyone heard more about it?
-
Probably canned after seeing low sales of the WE, KSC, and KWC models combined despite years of people begging for one.
-
It almost feels like the KWA length of tease since I just saw an image of the ics model in one of HyperDouraku's MOA posts.
-
You're right, but not to be a Debbie Downer, it says it's an NBB.

Someone finally made an an94 replica complete with pulley... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbZM2XvUdfk

That feeling when you keep throwing money at reddit sales for random Russian gear just to fill the emptiness for a brief moment.
-
When that urge for a g3 SBS aka MC51 SD surges back from years ago, but you remember it a v2 and not a v3. Sigh...

22 now, and still feeling like I'm 80...

Arthritis?

Actually, yes, something like that with my right arm/hand that makes it difficult to write (especially in the upcoming finals). I really just have always felt quite so old over the years, as though I should have been born in an earlier decade.
-
Son, you're talking to someone who thinks he should have been born more than a century earlier.

A question to our folks in Japan: Been going through some older videos from a youtube channel and have repeatedly seen the use of what seems to be a manual clicker whenever players go back to their respawn. I assume this is to help refs keep track of how many respawns have happened or something to that effect? I could see it used locally so that game hosts could tell when one side is completely out of the fight.
