stewball Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 That can't be right! $200 including shipping? There's no way that's possible. The thing must be full plastic, cheap plastic! Unless they're being assembled by kids in sweatshops. I have to see this thing! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And if I've got some bad wiring I've got a bamboo cane and plane tickets to china at the ready!

Habakure Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I think most people would be bothered if its made in so called sweat shops. Maybe someone could try and find out, maybe materials in china are just so cheap or they have super fast workers? Or not in it for big profit. Remember they clone something so save alot of RnD costs.

And the fact that labour over there is really cheap because of the size of the population. So many out of work people that they would work for a bowl of rice a day! Used to live in Hong Kong and went to China a few times, great place, but you can see everyone and anyone would work for pennies worth, as thats the only way to survive.

evansy Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 From the promo shots on ascuk they look to have metal uppers and outer barrels along with a few other smaller bits and a pgc/ca style m249 gearbox. At any rate for £80-90 with about £40 postage its still a bargin even if the whole gearbox needs replacing. The only bad thing is now I have to decide bewteen a Star M60 and A&K M249 I already have been promised a pre-release version for an Arnie's exclusive just like the R85 so keep posted! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've said it before and I'll sat it again. I hate you fareast Only joking I'll be looking forward to your review Count me in for two or three. Is there anyway to weild 3 at once? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup you just need to make a crotch mount for the 3rd one Any idea on release dates yet? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> According to keith he'll be getting the evaluation one around the end of the month so I'm guessing they'll be availible shortly after that.

I'm probably going to go with the M60 simply because they're a bit more unique. Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny Sasaki Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Good thing I put off buying that JG M16... need to save a little bit, for a few hundred thousand BB's.

squeakyL Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 the STAR one doesn't, but the CA one, which this is supposedly based off of, does. So probably? Link to post Share on other sites

Dat1Guyx342 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Paint soft comes to mind here..... It'll be people with rifles and not MGs in the minority.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My thought exactly, The main reason We're not flooded already was because of their high price. But with that gone, whats to stop the flooding? The moment I heard it would be 300-500$ I automatically thought "OMG I should get one!" So I can imagine others thinking the same way. Of course its un-realistic for me to carry around a 20 pound SAW. So soon after that, the thought left my mind. But my point stands. To be honest, this doesn't seem like a good thing to me. A Cheap SAW seems like a good idea but think about it, Do you want to face a whole team of SAW gunners? Link to post Share on other sites
evilliboba Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I might have to start going to CQB City were all guns are limited to semi only. Each squad can have one automatic rifle though. That ought to thin out the SAWs. Link to post Share on other sites
