Bladerunner10_0 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 This is my new XM8. Its one of the cheap ones, but didnt want it for airsofting. More just for show. The weight is about the same as my Marui G36 & the plastic is of a realy nice quality. I have loads os airsoft kit that cost a great deal more, but dont have the same appeal. Cheers.

donnie Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 There's a review up at Airsoft Retreat http://www.airsoftretreat.com/features/reviews/mako_grip/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are E.U.D`s Entirely Useless Devices. The look good in a pistol case though Link to post Share on other sites
donnie Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Just added the G&G ris. Nice solidly built lump of metal. After Arniegeddon, if we still have airsoft, Wood and Metal is next on the list Edit: Excuse the finger, took the picture half a sleep <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought that was your belly!.....or worse Link to post Share on other sites
Butter18c Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 What brand is that XM8? And does anyone by chance know of a US store where I could get a couple CYMA guns for my friends? Link to post Share on other sites
Bladerunner10_0 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 The XM8 is made by "GSG". It cost me about £35. Included battery & charger. Is really quite a heavy bit of kit. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
futbolpunk Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) Here are some pics of my new KSC M93R II with metal outter barrel and slide. (Yes, my finger is on the trigger... bite me.) Not bad, if I do say so myself, for my first GBB... Edited June 12, 2005 by futbolpunk Link to post Share on other sites
Tripod Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I love em. So exotic. They're huge though. Does it shoot Semi Full auto and burst? Or just Burst and semi? Link to post Share on other sites

futbolpunk Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) Yeah, I was wondering how the selector switch would work before I got it, but it's incredibly simple. All the way down (the 3 dots) is auto, in the middle is burst (basically the same as auto...), and at the top (the single dot) is semi. Also, the saftey is seperate from the selector switch (unlike most rifles), which I've come to love. The faux wood looks MUCH better than the online-retailers' pictures make it look. I almost don't want to get a wood kit because I love the look of the deep finish that's on it now! I have small hands, but I love hand cannons. Anything smaller than an M92 just feels weird to me. M93s, and DEs, and Mk. 23s, OH MY! Edited June 12, 2005 by futbolpunk Link to post Share on other sites
futbolpunk Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 To be honest, if I called it beautiful, it'd be for functionality and customization rather than actual looks. Btw, it's fuggin GORGEOUS! Link to post Share on other sites
phishphansj3151 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 (edited) I love the lr-300's, someone that I play with has one and I can honsestly say its one of the most beautiful guns I've ever seen. (Although I like the skeleton stock better than the one you have on there IMO, but it still lokks amazing! Nice work!) EDIT: How do you like the vert grip on there, I have the same one on my m4 and love it, but the other people that have picked up my gun dont like the feel of it so Im looking for other users opinions Edited June 13, 2005 by phishphansj3151 Link to post Share on other sites
Machineabuse Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I do like the LR-300s. Pity the kits are so prohibitively expensive I do quite like the feel of ARMS style forward grips, they allow you to get a little more hand on them than most. IMO forward grips are only really useful as pressure switch platforms or getting a grip on a gun with very little 'real estate' (AUGs and heavily accessorized RAS' come to mind).

You get ALOT with the kit. You basically just need a gearbox, motor, pistol grip and a few random accessories and you're all set and good to go. Link to post Share on other sites
Machineabuse Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Well nothing is really that expensive when you can afford it of course! Have pity on the poor students! Link to post Share on other sites
Mahonen Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Ohh! What kinda sites are those? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Front sight is GRS flip-up http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?i...4FUS_cat_Sights And rear sight J&T 300M 600M http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?i...A001_cat_Sights They are great, no return to normal M16 sights And if you want to use scope of somekind, you just have to flip these down and voila!

unimatrix001 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 If we want to be fussy it also need a better Pistol Grip . A Replica of the Tango Down Battlegrip or the Hogue A2 Grip would be nice Link to post Share on other sites
