IronWolf Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 As seen on the news page! i hope the military receiver comes out separately Anyone else here glad to see an aug? Link to post Share on other sites
outlaw Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Ill admit im not an aug fan i was very glad to see it.. and i think if you can hot swap the scope to scope mount people would love it / buy it. everyone wants an aug mil but the tm scope sucks (my impression not fact dont hit me) anyway good to see the 74 awsome to see the G36K i think classic army is getting into a position to kick marui Link to post Share on other sites
IronWolf Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 it also looks like they have two different barrel lengths for the aug Good to see the mc51 is coming along nicely. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 yep, very excited to see the CA aug- just hope it comes with all the old TM problems, like the plastic hop chamber nd cracking feed nipple, dealt with, otherwise you'd have to wonder what the point would be over getting a TM aug civ or a CA AUG civ, as the CA would offer little new, whereas the TM would at least have reliable internals. and hopefully...HOPEFULLY... the CA Aug mil scope will be better than the rubbish 1.5X15 tm scope, which, from experience, I can say is no good for anything. too small a recticle to make it any good for spotting or reconnaissance, and too weak a magnification for it to be any good for target shooting. come on CA, make it 3x 15, and at least then it'll have a point... otherwise, its the Civ version for me, and I MUCH prefer the look of the AUG mil. hey, wonder if CA will make an H-bar AUG? now THAT would be sweet Link to post Share on other sites
outlaw Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 H-Bar scares me... But i do like the LMG variants of all assault rifles. Although i think the lmg conversions will always be sold as seperate kits. Link to post Share on other sites
ph03nixflame Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I love the AUG!! I really wanted a Mil version, but of course all stores are sold out. I am also digging the G36K. Link to post Share on other sites
Robot 2000 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 hmm, screw the ICS AK74 - I'm getting me a G36K! Link to post Share on other sites
Asso Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Where in the CA website are the news? I can't find it, any links? Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Ohh momma, AUG! It looks like all us that said that CA, would never make an AUG, were wrong, TM is definetily going down! Asso, it's on the front page Link to post Share on other sites
HeuteGegangen Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 My only real question would be about the G36K. The AUG is cool don't get me wrong (funny how that guy who posted here about it a while ago was right, there will be one), but will it just be one of their G36Cs with one of their old extended outer barrels or will it be the same carbon fiber found on the origonal CA36C. Also, will they be using a dummy scope (basically will it need another $100.00 in replacement parts) or will they actually do a good job on it. Correct me if I'm wrong here but I can't remember Classic Army ever releasing optics on a weapon of theirs so this should be interesting. The AUG looks great so far, but I wonder what kind of innovations it will include? The TM version is already heavy and solid although I hope they use some higher quality plastics on the shell of the weapon. They will probably fix the feeding nozzle problem and aside form that give it some internal upgrades. Wouldn't it be cool though, if they figured out some way to put in larger batteries or something? I'm not really going to comment on the AK. The ICS one is looking cooler in my opinion because of the innovative gearbox design but I have heard that the CA one appears to have a higher quality body (whats new right?) Finally its great to see the MC51, it looks pretty near to completion and I Wouldn't mind getting my hands on some kind of Full metal G3 variant, so we'll just have to see how that one turns out. All in all I think its going to be a pretty good year for airsoft, companies like CA and ICS and G&P are really looking outstanding, I only hope that this will force TM into doing something even better to stay on top of the airsoft market. In this case, competition really is going to be good to the consumer! So many guns, so little money Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Isnt that a regular old g36? It looked longer than a K. Link to post Share on other sites
flipsnip Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 CA are gonna soon be well ahead of TM at this rate! (well UK sales at least) the aug looks great. be nice to have the mil reciver with a nice solid balck stock like on the civi. Link to post Share on other sites
michael_collins Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 HUZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the AUG Mil in black! Dudes thats the best *fruitcage* thing ive seen EVER! Yes i know I own a TM Mil and I know that theyre probably identical but who gives a *beep*, theyre NOT armalites. The 36 looks fab too. Link to post Share on other sites
nuclear_darkness Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Theres a good chance that the Aug mil body wont stay black. They may change it to the traditional green, but they may make interchangeable scopes, so you can get an AUG civ and then buy a mil scope. Im very interested in the MC-51, if they make a good job out of it, it could well be a "perfect weapon". High power, all metal, massive mag, big battery and short barrel for all situations.

unimatrix001 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Hmmm G36E, G36KE, AUG Mil, AK74 ... who needs Marui, go CA Link to post Share on other sites
nuclear_darkness Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Just realised that if the MC-51 is as good as i hope it is going to be then i could make it a full G3A3. The gun i have wanted for a long time but left it too late. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Crazy Harry, unfortunately, the AUG's scope is a 1.5x15mm scope and most likely, the airsoft ones will continue to replicate this. I hope they decide to adopt some AUGa1 changes like a bayonet lug and the new flash hider though. I am very glad CA are making great strides forward in airsoft, but I feel that they may be outdistancing their production capabilities. Most of the time, half the M15 variants are out of stock so I'm hoping these new models won't interfere with that. Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I like Marui and all, but CA is really winning me over. Suggestions for both companies: Marui: Go back and fix all your problems that you know you have with every model....that can only be a good thing CA: Try to clean up the sound in the gearboxes. that is all I have for now...but as soon as I get my M15A4....I might have some more.... ~Prometheus Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Why'd they cut the flash hider on the G36c? Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 CA: Try to clean up the sound in the gearboxes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whats wrong with the sound of the CA gearboxes? They sound louder because of the metal body. Other then that i think they sound just fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 The ones I've heard in the past have sounded....eerily nasty. Like a high pitched scream. Like the brakes on a locomotive. "unheathy" as one person once said to me. ~Prometheus Link to post Share on other sites
Sule Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Hmm. Why can I see TM's sales going down faster than a 747 with no wings! Not only have TM dropped their AUG mil but they are going to be beaten to the punch on a G36K. Add to that ICS's excellent (if pricey) contributions and G&G's M14 and TM are not looking too healthy.

Jedigreedo Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Maybe that's why Tokyo Marui stopped making the Military Aug? Classic Army could be getting the scopes from Tasco now? Either way, I'm excited about it. Even if I can't find a TM copy I will have an alternative- it should also cut down on the people hunting them. So first they reveal plans to release an M4 in the style I've always wanted, and now they're releasing Augs. It's like they're in my head. Link to post Share on other sites
Sule Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Jedigreedo raised an interesting point. TM and CA could be dividing the market between them which if i remember my AS level economics is a cartel and is just a weensy bit illegal. Certainly the dropping of the AUG by TM and the production of a new one by CA seems nice and convenient. <humms X-files tune> Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Very good point. But wouldn't you think that TM would drop it's armalite series to CA? CA's have always been quoted as "better". I would think that the more money for a cartell would be for Marui to take the spaceage style guns like the FN P90 and AUG, whilst CA takes Armalites and MP5s........ ~Prometheus Link to post Share on other sites
