cazboab Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 As well as the charging handle position and obvious barrel length. hmmm, I wonder if they'll be compatible with the 5.56 version. Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 WAAANT. Wonder how i'd look with a beat up ruskie mag...... Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 here's a nice video of the RS Massoud. It's basicly a ACR in 7.62 NATO. But still, the AK mags in the video suck. What AK Mags that's a 7.62x51mm (.308) Masoud not a 7.62x39mm Masada/ACR and the mags actually look like 7.62 P Mags. Link to post Share on other sites
somegirls Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 No I meant the AK mag in the animation in the OP. The mag in den Video is cool. Link to post Share on other sites
DyNo! Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hey airsofters, that's the 5.56x45mm version that uses polymer AK 5.56x45mm magazines. Nice try though. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hey DyNo! when trying to look down on other people try to get your facts straight first. In the Original Post the link Clearly shows the 7.63x39mm version using Polymer Ak Mags, the clue being that it says so! If your refering to the video posted on this page, like I was it is clearly a 7.62x51mm (.308). Bo where do I see any mention of a version using 5.56 Ak mags. So I guess that makes you a right pompous pillock, just coz you may shoot RS doesn't mean know you know better than airsofters, some of us have been shooting for thirty years you know. Have a nice day ! Link to post Share on other sites
warthog Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Let me throw in another caliber: the 5,45mm x 39mm! That would fit the magazine curve and that older Magpul Masada Flyer. Link to post Share on other sites
D.O.C. Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 ...this is actually very old news: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...t&p=2072904 D.O.C. edit: Sorry, wanted to post that in the other actual RA-T ACR thread... Of course, 7.62 one is new Link to post Share on other sites
speculator Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Not at all, that thread was based on Monda's release of their Masada (the A&K). Concept video of new Masada/ACR variant from their official youtube was released on May 16th. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Let me throw in another caliber: the 5,45mm x 39mm! That would fit the magazine curve and that older Magpul Masada Flyer. Well yes it probably would but the clue is in the video title"ACR 7 62x39 AEG". This video may be new but just like the short barrel just being released, this is just a modifacation (new lower receiver ) to the original Masada/ACR so why does it need a new thread?

appslapp Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 if its true that it has a V3 gearbox, its very good....and thats maybe whorth a new thread? Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Bet it's the exact same gun with a new lower molding to take AK mags. Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticMag Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Check this: http://www.magpul.com/pdfs/masada_technote.pdf Either 5.56x45 or 7.62x39 AK mags. So, ease up there nitro. Link to post Share on other sites
somegirls Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Look at the magwell in plasticmag's link, it's defiantely a 7.62x39. I don't wanna throw in "6.8" here And again, it can't be the 7.62NATO because that would be the Massoud. Link to post Share on other sites

If this isn't worth a new thread then neither would any other gun based on one released before be. Which means its not allowed if anyone brings out an out of the box Thompson 1928 or if(okay when...) TM do another 1911. Link to post Share on other sites
clone_ranger Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I actually like this (concept) - as others have commented it is a rather nicer twist to the 'tactical AK' idea (yes I am fully aware it is not an AK in anyway)... I saw an item on 'Future Weapons' on Discovery where they highlighted something like this and showed the dis assembly and reassembly into a 7.62x39 model. Fantastic. It solves many of the problems Special Forces have with using a SOPMOD AK... And I will join the section of thought that says this is a 'pretty' looking design. Look forward to it's eventual release...Whenever and if that ever comes about. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah 5.56mm AK mags exist, but what is point of making a Masada that can use them, the standard Nato STANAG Mag is 5.56. They make them to use 7.62x39mm AK mags so covert Ops behind lines can use soviet ammo. This is so they are not leaving nato cases lieing around if they get involved in a firefight and don't have time to pick up the empty cases. Often it is very important not to leave behind any trace of who has been their, so the polititions can deny involvment of SF Troops. It also alows them to use ammo they take from their enemy, as often they arte behind lines for weeks on end and supplies can run low. 5.56 AK's are generally civilian weapons made for the US, they are seldom if ever used by the military.

Mig1 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 One of the guys from MagPul posted on a forum that the AK mags were 5.56. That was a years or two ago, shortly after the debut. Forum was either arfcom or lightfighter. I forget which. Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Well since all airsoft ak mags fit the same mag well(apart from old 'uns for gas and TM's "blowback" ones etc) why worry? Link to post Share on other sites
Mig1 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 True enough. In our world they are all 6mm, right? Well... Except for those crazy 8mm people Link to post Share on other sites
