Many of the folks who purchase the real steel Bushmaster ACR "Basic" are electing to change the stock from the fixed to the adjustable folder, but are keeping the MOE foregrip. I actually like not only the look of the polymer MOE foregrip, but the weight savings as well.
-
I'd like to see different foregrip offered. There was a company called Monolith Arms that did a PS90 style grip that was pretty cool, but Magpul purchased the company and the foregrip was discontinued.

Thank you taking the time to do that review and post it. Really appreciate it.

Check out ratworxusa.com for real steal rails for the Steyr and MSAR STG 556. Not sure how well they would fit an airsoft copy.
I don't understand why we don't see better airsoft copies of the latest AUG and MSAR STG 556 rifles? Especially since the AUG is so popular particularly in video games like Call of Duty.

Turn your BDU's inside out when you wash. Wash on cold. Air dry if possible.
Same works well for blue jeans FYI.

Yes, but the real steel AUG A3 is a hideous eyesore. The AUG A3-SF, however, is beautiful, so I'd love to see an airsoft version of that.
What's the incentive for real-steel arms companies to get in bed with airsoft manufacturers, though?
They're all getting in bed with airsoft manufacturers now so that they get another stream of revenue. Think about it all they have to do is allow some company to have license to use their trades and not only do they get money they didn't have before, but they get an Asian company that can help go after those who infringe on their intellectual property rights. We're seeing a lot of real steel companies forming pretty close relations to airsoft companies and I think it's a good thing the whole way round.

I wish that Steyr and MSAR would work with airsoft companies to make licensed copies of the Steyr AUG A3 and MSAR STG-556 and E4. I have a real steel STG-556 and I would like to have an airsoft version for training and recreational airsoft purposes.

Sadly they'll probably never be allowed to be purchased by civvies due to the fact that they have some form of thermal tech integrated into it. If it were under 6Gs, I'd consider it.
How's the overlay between IR and thermal? Looking at the videos it appears there's some kind of minute delay between the two as the thermal tries to digitally catch up. Also, is the thermal still not full frame (only a small rectangular overlay within the IR's full ocular view)?
I think that's being a bit negative.
Civilians can already purchase thermal devices if they've got the incredible coin to shell out. Eventually it will be sold to LEO and then as tech progresses they'll be available to civvies who feel like dumping as much as they would spend on a decent used car on it. They just wont ever be available for export.

Now that's a GREAT BIG BUSHY BEARD.
I know they do it to get respect from the locals, but it looks like Santa trying to kill you.

Just takes the money to make things happen in America. James Cameron has his own Blackhawk.

I'm pretty sure you can't.
From what I recall, you can't own any current military aircraft.
Beyond that, you'd need to be rated for it before you could fly it an unless you were also a military pilot you're not gonna be able to do that.
The avionics would be restricted items and a modern jety is almost unflyable without them.
To put all this in perspective, enthusiasts still have a helluva job jumping through the required hoops to purchase an F4 phantom and fly it.
I figure you live there because that's where you were born.
Two SU-27s are currently available for private sale in demilitarized form through Pride Aircraft of Rockford, Illinois. They will in addition to helping you maintain the aircraft also help you obtain your license to fly one. All legal and well within U.S. law.
The SU-27 is a modern current front-line military fourth generation aircraft in service around the world.
That's fact.
-
I didn't even know civilians could own such things. I once heard about a guy who managed to piece together an F-15 from buying various parts, and when the gov't. found out, they came and dismantled it.
Fixed.
Not steel rain. Plastic rain.
-
There are two SU-27s for sale right now in the U.S. for $5 Million a piece. Would be pretty cool to have actual air support to call in for a game.
-
Gen 2 is excellent. D-300s are definitely the way to go if you're on a budget.
-
Nice, apparently the U.S. Army is finally coming out with combat pants similar to the Crye Combat with the built in knee pads. Very Future Combat Systems like.
-
Wow, wish I had a BRDM-2 Amphibious Armored Patrol Car. I'll bet he actually got it at a fair price too.
Looks like you could pick one up for about $14K American that's not counting how much it would cost to ship and I'm sure you'd have to sink some money into for repairs and maintenance.
-
Would like to see an airsoft version of the Microtech Small Arms Research STG-556 and the new Steyr AUG A3.
The addition of the side accessory rail and the bolt release would be cool.
Also. is anyone doing an AUG A2 style charging handle?
-
i think eye damage from lasers would be the last thing people would worry about if someone broke into his place... more like 5.56 damage
nice work, titelist
wish we had the options you guys had
Well, and maybe someone can expand on this, but my worry is that the IR would reflect back into my eye and cause damage like off a mirror in the interior of your home. The eye unlike a normal visible laser will not even blink I am told and that would be bad I would think. Not sure how much damage would be done to the eye with a limited exposure for a second or so though...something to think about though if you're running around the inside of your home with a powerful laser.
-
Home Defense.
Just have to be very careful with IR lasers as you could cause some serious eye damage with them.
It's very difficult to get ahold of IR lasers like PEQ here. How Titleist got his is beyond me other than catching them up online for sale through a private party. The industry regulates itself and most places will not sell IR lasers to civilians who are not military or law enforcement. When I get the money together I'm going to have to have my cousin who is a Deputy Sheriff probably try to get ahold of one for me.
-
Still not one company has made a faithful Airsoft version of the AUG A3 it's all bastardized versions of it.
-
UR-Tactical supplied their clothing to the movie Terminator Salvation so look for it. Should be pretty cool.
-
Yes, I think the whole forum now is painfully aware of Hedge's dislike for the AUG rail.
-
And why should any airsofter care what the future is?
That would mean those chaps running around in WW2 battledress with Thompsons + Garands are totally wrong no?
If I chose to carry a rifle that is considered old what of it?
When I'm not using my HBAR I carry a G3 with german flecktarn gear, should I be instantly abandoning that simply because the G36 is the modern "way of the future" german rifle?
Of course not...that would be a silly thing to do.
All I'm saying is that Steyr doesn't produce firearms to fit the needs of airsofters. They had some very practical and when you think about it smart choices for doing what they did with the AUG A3. The AUG needed the upgrade to stay competitive with future rifles.
As for the ACR folks it may not look that cool, but the special speer like round it fired was a pretty cool concept and was defintely way outside the box in terms of design.
-
Except nobody in the real world does!
Agreed, it's a must for the RIS junkies who like to hang all sorts of paraphernalia on the front of their guns, me, I'll still give it a miss I think...
Steyr AUG A1 came out in 1977 and wasn't adopted outside of Austria until by Australia in 1985. Ireland didn't adopt the Steyr AUG until 1988. The Steyr AUG A3 just came out and Austria is currently unable to purchase a new infantry rifle due to political reasons.
The A3 is the future folks.
BUIS is a must.
Rail space is a must.
Rifles that lack either will not have a future.
For those die hard fans of the A1 or A2 version I suggest looking at the A3 "Commando" configuration. There are afterall three different configurations to the A3 the "Commando, Standard, and Marksman." The pictures most people post are of the "Standard" with its 18" barrel and full rail system.

That's one of the most clever t-shirts I've seen in a long time.
