Looks exactly like a gun that was dragged down the road and then set on fire. Almost all the wear on old Kalashnikovs will be from endless cleaning and handling, not from being run over by an armoured personnel carrier every day for sixty years. Wearing the paint thin, especially on the contact surfaces, and scuffing the wood should give you a much more evenly and authentically worn AK than ten minutes in a cement mixer full of broken glass.

I don't know why they bother specifying how many shots it holds - it's got the same volume as the original tank, doesn't it? So presumably it contains exactly the same amount of gas and can power the same number of shots; like FireKnife says, the only variance is if you get more shots from a stronger gas that the Marui tank can't sustain without bulging. I think the general consensus is that it's pretty similar to the Angry Gun, but more likely to leak. -
I always shoot from the shoulder (by far the best way to get a decent sight picture for me at least) and I agree with Candydad - the AKMS/Type 56-1-style underfolders look awesome but are absolute hell to shoot. The cheekweld is almost unbelievably uncomfortable (though I haven't tried the Samson cheekpad), and the stocks always seem to develop a wobble eventually. Hiawatha, the Type 56-2's ugly side-folder is supposed to be exceptionally solid and relatively comfortable, if you can get over the looks.

My G&G M14 dolled up as an M25 SWS. If anyone's interested, it is for sale.
-
Yeah - what exactly am I looking at? A flash-hider of some description?
-
I'm under the impression that they still have G&G gearboxes and electrical systems. Some of them also have G&G's stupid proprietary QD batteries, too, so watch out for that FireKnife. The GKS-74U is one of only a few RK-series guns that don't have the stupid battery foregrip I mentioned above. If you're going to buy a G&G Kalashnikov, it's not a bad buy at all.
-
Depends on which G&G, too. Some (all?) of the newer ones have LCT bodies, which is a nice touch.

Friend of a roommate sees my SVD, mentions he has some ancient airsoft stuff he's looking to ditch - says it's an Uzi made by a company you've never heard of, Tokyo Marui or something...
-
That could be a bit of bargain hunting then

I'll have to see what he's asking for it.

I wish we could do that in the UK.

I found it on WaltherForums; the gun is a genuine Smith & Wesson-built PPK/S. The PPK/S itself was a response to the GCA 1968, which instituted the 'points system' under which pistols imported to the US had to meet a certain points threshold, with some features being awarded a certain amount of points. The original PPK didn't meet that threshold (by one point), so Walther married the PPK's slide to the PP's frame to increase the weight enough to carry it over, creating the PPK/S. The S&W-built PPK/S has, like FireKnife noted, an extended beavertail on what looks to be a PPK-length

It's kind of funny how the TM is still lighter than the real steel, despite having a ton of extra mechanism and about three times as many parts. I wonder if we'll start to see major parts (barrels, receivers, stocks) being offered - assuming that they aren't already and excluding the not-yet-released Laylax wood kit, that is.

Initial Impressions of the TM SOPMOD M4 AEG
PureSilver replied to Gunfighters808's topic in Rifles (AEG)
I'm a lefty, and I wish the NexGens all came with ambidextrous selectors. If you're going to have to change the design of all of the parts anyway, which the Recoil Shocks basically do compared to the typical V2-based gun, and therefore you're not forced to have the selector assembly maintain backwards compatibility with older designs, why not design the ambidextrous selector in from the beginning? It's a real disappointment, to be honest. I keep hoping that someone (Prime or similar) will start making billet CNC'd aftermarket receiver sets for the Recoil Shocks, like they already do for th -
Are the inner barrels in the Breacher noticeably shorter than those on the M870 Tactical? Anyone able to quantify any resulting FPS/range difference, if so?

Initial Impressions of the TM SOPMOD M4 AEG
PureSilver replied to Gunfighters808's topic in Rifles (AEG)
No - not unless you buy a NexGen gun that was sold with an ambidextrous selector originally. Those are (AFAIK) the SCARs, the HK416s, and maybe the G36s too? Guns that didn't come with an ambidextrous selector assembly (the non-HK416 AR-15s, the Kalashnikovs) cannot be retrofitted with one. -
What the hell is the pattern on those? They look like Dr. Manhattan's testicles.

You can cut down the wiring for the Spectre by combining the two red wires inside the gearbox - have a look here - which reduces the number of wires you're threading out the back to two. -
Initial Impressions of the TM SOPMOD M4 AEG
PureSilver replied to Gunfighters808's topic in Rifles (AEG)
Prometheus is a sub-brand of Laylax, or vice versa, or some other arrangement. They're effectively the same company, at any rate. I use the upgraded plate and a Spectre too, and it doesn't seem to cause issues. -
But how does that assumption correlate with the initial retail price at Bunny Workshop and CRW Airsoft being $135, only slightly more than the M&P, before they were instructed to raise the price by Cybergun. Well, the assumption goes one of two ways. Either it is true - the pistols cost VFC similar amounts to make - and there is some other reason (Cybergun imposing a higher price for a wider profit margin, FNH demanding an unusually high licensing fee, etc.) for the price difference between the two. Or, it is false, and the FNX-45 presumably is much more expensive than the M&P9 t
-
Why would 'they' (VFC?) have been ordered to put the holes in the wrong place? The only reason I can think of that sounds even remotely coherent is to force people to buy a Cybergun-approved MRDS, and hopefully not even Cybergun would stoop that low. I think the most likely explanation is that VFC thought that putting the holes where they should be would impinge on the BBU. If we assume that the FNX-45 and M&P9 cost roughly similar amounts to make, and therefore cost Cybergun approximately the same amount, and your suggestion is that the difference is simply pure profit for Cyberg

Well, it might be enough to push the BBs out of the barrel, but it's not going to be anything like as powerful as the CO2 should be. HPA at 800psi is approximately 50:1 volume-for-volume for normal atmospheric pressure; that is, you can store 50x the volume of air at 800psi as you can at STP (14.696psi). Liquid CO2 at 800psi is approximately 450:1 volume-for-volume for normal atmospheric pressure; that is, you can store 450x the volume of CO2 at 800psi as you can at STP. So, provided you fill the shell with liquid CO2, you can store 9 times the volume of gas in each one compared with filli
-
Is that tank actually full of HPA? It seems like a very, very bad idea to put 3,000psi HPA into a shell designed for 800psi CO2. Potential maiming bad. And, like blobface says... ... Surely the system needs the liquid-to-gas expansion to function effectively?
-
Excellent review; in depth, covered the main points and the little unexpected issues well. For me the next question is whether a different MRDS (e.g. a RS RMR) will fit the screw pattern, or whether we're all just SoL and heads need to roll at VFC/Cybergun.
-
You can fit a paintball bottle on the charger with an appropriate adapter; therefore, you can certainly fit a propane tank instead (or even just fill the CO2 tank with propane instead). That gun looks like it needs an MED, if it doesn't have one already. That last photo looks like absolutely no fun at all; imagine that on your face...
