Wupjak Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Wupjak has dismantlearitis. Guilty as charged. Link to post Share on other sites
AustinWolv Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Wup, interested to see what you think about it. IR diodes can be found online as piece parts also. Otherwise, neat product as someone pointed out above regarding getting an 1:1 PEQ but basically useless without the IR. Link to post Share on other sites
Galaxy613 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Guilty as charged. I think I have dismantlearitis in it's early stages. Every single airsoft gun and/or accessory of mine is subject to be taken apart. Sometimes even if it's not smart to. Link to post Share on other sites
Wupjak Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'll see what's under the hood and report back here, A_W. If it's worth doing, perhaps an online shopping spree for IR diodes may also be in order. Figured I'd start with what I already own, hehe. Regardless I'll snap some photos of whatever parts come flying out of there. Galaxy613, good for you, we WILL be heard! When I got my G&P/Marui EBR from eHobbyAsia, I didn't even shoot it stock. Immediately got gutted on the bench and upgraded straightaway. I was in remission from my compulsive dismantlearitis for a few months, but it's back and better (worse?) than ever.

Magsz Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Should i trademark that, dismantlearitis? I take everything apart even if its working just fine, i dont know why. My girlfriend bought me an iphone and 30 seconds after taking it out of the box i was trying to figure out how to take the two halves of the case apart so i could see what was inside. Now THATS sick lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Update: Chillin brought it to my attention that the G&P peq is no longer listed on WGC or RW, it's shown on the front page of RW, but the link goes nowhere. And it's completely removed from WGC's site. However mine and Wupjak's shipped, so this is odd. Obviously something is there, as the image I referenced in this thread is still working from RW.

Magsz Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Well ###### in my coffee... I was going to place an order for one tomorrow but i guess that aint happening anymore lol. You snooze you lose. Link to post Share on other sites
Hades Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Now Redwolf lists it a "PreOrder". What the heck? Damn I ordered on a few days ago and I think they shipped it, hopefully they did prior to this "problem" that way at least I have 1 and I was gonna order the second one on Monday.

Titleist Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Mine is set to be delivered this morning, so it looks like the demand just was too much for the stock. But it's G&P, they tend to make a LOT of each item, it might have just been the initial run was small. Link to post Share on other sites

Well my friend, I'm sure you realize that with the pride of being an 'early adopter' comes the responsibility of being a 'rapid reviewer' And we all know your superior imaging abilities, so I'm looking forward to great pictures! Slainte! Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I was planning on snapping some pictures after lunch when it arrives. Link to post Share on other sites
Hades Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I recieved a response from Redwolf today that the item has been "Discontinued". So they made it for one run?!?!? Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 This has to be a mistake, no way would they only make that few. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites
Guinness Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 This has to be a mistake, no way would they only make that few. We'll see. On the bright side, being 'one of a kind' Titleist will be offering his on Ebay this afternoon for only 3 times retail Link to post Share on other sites
Wupjak Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Oh, his is one of a kind, alright Can't be correct. What'd they make, a dozen of em? I'll have mine today, too Link to post Share on other sites
Wupjak Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 From left to right - G&P IR laser, PEQ laser, PEQ LED, Surefire M1 IR Illuminator. I'm off for the weekend. Laser diode is a drop in as I suspected. IR Illuminator probably not. Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 This has to be a mistake, no way would they only make that few. We'll see. They're actually booby-trapped specially for PEQ lovers. Your prized armalite shall by blown to bits by the wrath of G&P. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Discontinued eh? That sucks a fat one lol. Wupjak, comments about build quality? Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I really think this isn't discontinued. No way would they spend years getting this product out to only release a few dozen of 'em, that's just stupid. Keep in mind the PAQ 4 they've been selling for years now, I think this is more a case of they sold out on the initial run. RW is still pre-ordering 'em, so I think this is more or less them saying they just sold out. Link to post Share on other sites
Wupjak Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Quality is very nice. Bit of refraction from the laser on walls that are ~15 feet away and nearer at the moment. I'll sort it out when I get when I'm going this evening, or tomorrow. Also, the light is producing nowhere near producing 130 lumens. It's no brighter than my 6P, perhaps not AS bright.

Titleist Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Full review tomorrow. However good news, direct from G&P: "Finally, this product is not discontinued, we cannot produce a large quantity in this moment. Therefore, those retail shops just have a few quantity for sell."

Guinness Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Cool- good followup Titleist! Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Further news. I'm ordering a second one for my buddy, since he was really wanting one, and redwolf just emailed me back telling me they'll be back in stock by monday/tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites
Hades Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Thank Frickin god, discontinued my a$$! Well...actually good thing they aren't discontinued! I'll have the second one ordered as well. I was also thinking "There's no way I waited 2 years for a one run deal..." "Chris" from Redwolf, "discontinued" is not the same as "Sold Out".

Titleist Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Told you guys, no need to doubt my intuition. Heh. But no worries, they're trickling out, we'll see more soon. As I said I'll do a review in the morning, my buddy's PEQ should ship from RW on monday. However I may have to snag one as an extra for any other gun projects. I wonder how easy it is to get an IR diode? Link to post Share on other sites
