evilliboba Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Your not kidding are you, that is actually why. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not kidding, really. It may not be the entire factor but yes, looking like the "AWP" from CS (which is really an AWM) helps. Link to post Share on other sites
HowitzerNAM Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'll wait til a MK 48 comes out. Same round, M249 size, MUCH easier to handle in the field. Link to post Share on other sites
Guinness Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'm glad the somewhat overlooked S. Korean mfgs are stepping up and bringing popular products to market. No offense to the Chinese entrepeneurs, but I for one look forward to more quality products from our SK friends! Keep it up! Here's a request to pass to the bosses back home, somebody knock-off the Shoei MP44 already ok? and then a full metal Greasegun would be very nice. Slainte! -G Link to post Share on other sites
evilliboba Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Maybe AGM can make a nice Greasegun to go along with their MP40. Couldn't be too hard to insert a V3 gearbox in a Hudson style shell. Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't be too hard to insert a V3 gearbox in a Hudson style shell. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree, yet I'll wager we would have never seen the AGM MP40 without the work that TOP did on their metal body version, so if its going to be another plastic Greasegun, I'll pass. I want metal! Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 how can that be the US version when the US m240 has a heatshield and a foregrip as on the m249? Link to post Share on other sites
tehnoobslayer Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 LAME the inokatsu sounds better Ive been working on v7's for some time now and its just obnoxious to take off all the stuff and strip it down to the bare GB, the wiring/swiching is ridiculous. seems ridiculously inefficient gearbox wise for a support gun, just my opinion.

clone_ranger Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 It's a co-incidence that this was posted on Arnie's today as I just got an email back from 'Shoot'n'Scoot' about their custom GPMG! Here's what they say:- hi steve, we have a currant waiting time on all our guns of 6 weeks as we are very busy i'm now using the tm M14 gear box, not the p90, externally its to exact dimensions now that i'm using the lower profile G box, original parts are, top cover, (striped out) but, in either wood or black plastic, bi-pod legs, i can get other parts like the carry handle but this will bump up the price a lot, the main body is ally, i also use hight density resin/glass fibre casting for the pistol grip, butt housing,etc, i also use bronze casting for the back sight, flash hider, gas block, barrel release, carry handle, butt pad, feed, i use the tm m14 hightcap cut down in hight with the winder on the under side of the body, we call allso use a link bag as well to accommodate a large battery or an auto feed mex, this is an option, i,m allso trying out one with an auto wind mex atm but i,m not quite there to say if it,l work, price wize, because i'm now using the tm m14 it has bumped up the price to £825, hope that helps, warren S&S Link to 'Shoot'n'Scoot' website: www.shootnscoot.co.uk Now obviously this is a LOT of money - and could be even more expensive the more original parts you ask them to add...But this is the more authentic British Army GPMG... But the Trigger Happy conversion *may* offer a relatively cheaper way to a GPMG. But I thought I'd post it up in case anyone is interested. Link to post Share on other sites
Karabiner Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 OMG that shootnscoot GPM is TEH SECHS!11!11 I'll have to be saving up for longer then Edit: So is the Bren and Lee Enfield Mk4 now that I look... Link to post Share on other sites
scooberoo Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 This thread has been hijacked. Aaaaaaanyway.... Nice M240 by TRIGGR HAPPY.... ING. Wow, they even misspelled their own name. They need to pay more attention to detail. Link to post Share on other sites
ardrummer292 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Ummm... ghey? Why do US/HK/&c customers have to source a VFC BAR gearbox when the V7 is much more readily available? What will the boxmag look like? Link to post Share on other sites
triggerhappyNL Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 we dutchies used to carry the older, wooden version of the FN MAG, the original destination of the M240. old ###### weight in at a massive 13 kilo's. and even when i held the demo version, i could feel it's weight. but the wood has charm over the ugly plastic look, it made the gun came to live. the plastic just makes the weapon cold. i won't but it unless i can either self-created wooden kit for the weapon, or if a wooden kit comes for it ( which i doubt )... would be awesome though to carry it once again !

rambo11 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 It would be nice if it was fn but ill bet that will soon come as far as ammo feed all i can say is that it would be a p90 gear box and top fed.This would be the only way that could work(i think). Link to post Share on other sites
triggerhappyNL Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 yup, my guess indeed rambo, is that they'll imitate the cheap platic yankee-version. no offence ofcourse to americans, but you guys raped the FN MAG Link to post Share on other sites

Cyber Soldier Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 How is it more useful? It's also been around since the 50s but took you over 30 years to adopt it. Sounds like NMH syndrome to me. Link to post Share on other sites
