frogfish Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Railed Kimber thingy looks fairly ugly as ever. You mean the Kimber Desert Warrior? It's only one of the most sought after pistols in the world both in airsoft and RS. And with a price tag sub $80 (most likely) it looks pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites

And with a price tag sub $80 (most likely) it looks pretty good. Yeah, no kidding - you guys have been raving non-stop about 'Kimbers' for like a bloody month now Excuse my stupidity but what is a 'Kimber' anyway? Is it a type/style of pistol or an actual pistol? Anywho, IMO it does look fairly ugly - not that particullar attampt at it, just that pistol in general. I've never exactly had what you might call a fetish for railed pistols though. Personally, I would like to see some cheaper versions of the WA M2011/1911s that are reviewed on 'Just Pistols' - can't remember what they are called, but most any of them I'd prefer to this. Sorry its just the way I am Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 As gearboxes in bodykits go theres little to no advantage to carrying a support gun. It really depends on the rules of the game IMHO. In all the games I play and all the major events I attend, the only people allowed any type of high capacity mag are the SAW gunners. Riflemen are limited to mid-Caps, standards and lo-Caps, but no hi-Caps. If a non SAW gunner is found with a hi-cap, it's up to game control to decide whether the mags are either confiscated for the duration of the game or the player is ejected from the game. Everyone knows the rules so it generally isn't a problem. It forces riflemen to be more judicious about their trigger control and ammo consumption. And it gives the SAW gunners a clear advantage as they're able to do what SAW gunners are supposed to do ... create incredible ammounts of suppressing fire when needed. The obvious disadvantage for them is that their SAWs are heavy. But all in all it's much more realistic and enjoyable than people showing up with a MP5 and 4000 round drum mag thinking this is speedball. Non-hicap riflemen gaming and SAW gunners are only fun when everyone plays by the same rules. IMO Link to post Share on other sites

Kimber is a gun manufacturer who's well known in the real gun community for producing high end pistols.: KimberAmerica.com The Kimber Warrior is one of their popular pistols that feature the underside rail.

fiddlesticks4220 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Judging by the army MEU, this Kimber shouldn't be half bad. Gotta love how this PTW thing is coming up.... Corps, Whats wrong with a MP5 and a 4000 round drum mag, lol. Link to post Share on other sites
luvs2shoot Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 That Kimber looks promising ...now I just have to wait for them to release another version in Black + silver outer barrel Link to post Share on other sites
Whan Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'm waiting for a Kimber ICQB. I'm not particullarly fond of the desert warrior, But I like how they're listening... Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 That MG42 is beast, and as for rareity, its easy for organisers to palcelimits on the number of MGs in a team I.e 1 MG per 10 rifles etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Panzergraf Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Corps, Whats wrong with a MP5 and a 4000 round drum mag, lol. Not being allowed to use it in any serious event. And it looks dumb. Any word on what kind of material this AGM is made of yet? Stamped steel, or cast potmetal? Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I wouldn't worry about seeing loads of mg42s, its a niche gun as it is, and I imagine its going to me more expensive then people expect. Link to post Share on other sites

Hammerfall Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I wouldn't worry about seeing loads of mg42s, its a niche gun as it is, and I imagine its going to me more expensive then people expect. And probably crappy! As for the increase in how common they might (probably won't) become, who cares? It might take away from the 1337-ness of owning them, in which case good, stop being a twat. If you're bothered about how accurate it will make WW2 game scenarios then i think you could become very pedantic about other aspects of that game play that would make the matter of having several MG's quite small. Its the same with the PTW, some Systema users will be bothered because they'll maybe be slightly less 1337 if loads of people have PTW-esque guns. I'm a PTW user and can't wait to have a good clone for parts and stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't worry i just finished calling my dog a twat for licking my cereal bowl. Don't take it too personally and/or seriously. I can't see A&K being able to make a good PTW for under $400... i'd like to be proved wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites
Frontiers Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Wait, didn't someone say that Kimber is Well's job? i ask originally from WELL if they want to make Kimber but they declined so then i got Army to make it (initially he declined also but i met them in person and talked him over it ) i took a big set of cool pictures with me how i turned his head Link to post Share on other sites
draco_1967 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I love Kimbers, but I would prefer a TLE/RL to be twins with my real Kimber. Maybe I can refinish the Desert Warrior... Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Going on what happened with the Black/Silver/Gold MEU (which only exists in RS in Black) give it 5 minutes and the Kimber will be available in other flavours. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 What? Those golden MEUs are proper pimp, especially when you consider the fact Castor Troy used gilded Springfields in Face/Off. They're nearly the same thing. And I'm planning to build a custom civvy M1911 based off the silver one. Link to post Share on other sites
